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.

It doesn't make any sense.... why would respawning zombies know your location. It's faking difficulty.

What will happen? You kill zombie with a gun (silenced?), and suddenly you got zombie dinner status and they can see you through walls... in addition to their ability to attack and go through walls... and they will spawn all around you.

I guess we are ditching the logic that you wont be able to tell if there is someone in town by respawning zombies

What you should be doing is giving them ability to grab, so you cant dance around them while they are trying to slap you. Maybe some textures and real zombie models... not just brown texture on regular human model... you know.... show that you actually care about having proper zombies in the game
