Instead of whining about it on the forums and sticking to whatever you've learned in the past, try new things and adapt to the situation. I myself was getting owned badly by zeds since 1.7.1.4 but there are new methods to avoid zeds outright and even completely deaggro them. Just mess around with the new system a bit you'll get the hang of it seriously the bitchfest that keeps springing up after each single update of this alpha isn't necessary. Learn to explore new things, adapt to situations and find the perfect method to deal with it. Bottom line is, try new things instead of approaching a town or settlement while crouched or standing. Also hurr durr an infected human can see me for up to 70m! Yeah, no shit?

I was thinking something along the lines of having players spawn with less ammo/no gun at all and nothing to drink/eat either. This would fix the COD/L4D players going guns blazing as soon as they hit the shore and it would be an incentive for players to work together to get the supplies they need to survive. (I feel this would reduce the bandit kills on freshly spawned players as well because they wouldn't even be worth a single bullet.) Also the respawn rate of weapons/ammo/food and drinks need to be drastically lowered, it IS an apocalypse after all. Another idea I had was zeds going "bloodlust" mode or something, a massive zombie scream heard serverwide by all zeds effectively tripling/doubling their detection range and running speed after certain conditions would be met (No clue as to what that could be.)
