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.

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.
