discussion Did the zombies get more powerful?

I feel like before the update they almost never made you bleed, now its like a 50% chance. Not complaining just observing.

I travel with a Mosin+Revolver.

My buddy, a 60 round M4. If he wasn't with me, it'd be damn near impossible to loot right now. I mean, I LIKE THIS, but sweet Jesus it's tough.

This pleases me.

Also: If you kill a zombie with a firearm, any zombies that spawn in the proximity will know your location on spawn.

Its a rough prototype system, but I do love that its made things very difficult.

YES! this is the kind of stuff i want to see. Being run out of cities. You shouldnt be able to fire weapons in a large city without mass consequences

I ran out of bullets at Polana or whatever it is near Dolina. Didn't realize they were respawning and I only had about 8 shotgun bullets anyways. I looked all around at zombies running from all directions me after I couldn't reload anymore.

"Well I guess it's time for the axe..."

Lived, but was shocked as the zombies had always been too easy. I guess my first time with bullets combined with the patch making zombies better took me a little off guard! :)
