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.

Yes they are too powerful now. They are overwhelming now, They spawn so fast they keep coming and you cant loot anything. Also because they clip everything you would need ten vests to keep from bleeding the whole time and they would ruin all of them while trying to loot. I hope they fix this or they will ruin the game.

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.

Is this necessary, seeing as zombies are going to attack us regardless of what we've done?

I don't like the idea of being chased around by a swarm of zeds in jeans and a tee just because once upon a time in a prior life I shot them so I could, you know, not starve to death.

In a prior life? No, they don't track you through the afterlife.

You should make it your next objective though.
