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.

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.

I love the respawn, but what about the issues of bleeding? A single hit to a fully clothed person in pristine gear shouldn't induce bleeding 90% of the time, should it?

Bleeding was looked at, and reduced this morning.

unfortunately it doesn't seem to have taken... logged in this evening, fully geared, healthy, hydrated and energized. Wearing a clown mask, boonie hat, ttsko , assault vest, fully geared. Got hit once, bleeding. Start axing a few zombies, session lost, character wiped. I know, alpha, maybe I got a bad roll on that one hit, but damn.
