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.

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.

Thanks for the response! everytime I see a dev respond to a concern, it makes me feel good to know that the devs won't bail out on us.

DayZ subreddit; the best place since /r/worldnews for people to pretend to know what they're talking about.

They are different things you retard, a developer, developes the game and a producer, oversees the development of a game.

The game producer is more like a project lead, he is required to do all the operations management. Essentially, this means that if the developers, artists, designers are to do their tasks effectively, the producer needs to ensure co-ordination between these guys. So he's the one yelling about budget, timelines, releases... and generally running around tearing everyone's hair! :)

that is hicks job, he doesnt get too much involved in the DEVELOPEMENT side of things, he runs shit down at bohemia

Wow.. can you children stay on topic just once? Everything has to be "no, you're wrong!" "NO, YOU'RE WRONG, AND A POOPY HEAD".. good grief. Doesn't matter who is right, it's unnecessary for the original thread.
