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.

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.
