I actually approve of a lower spawn rate (NOT in its current form) and starting equipment as long as you are allowed to survive long enough to find anything. Any possible spawn location is covered with zombies, and it is no longer reasonable to expect to be able to avoid them. At least make it impossible for them to climb ladders, and more difficult for them to open doors. Also, improvements on the animations and movement speed would be nice. The fact that it's in alpha is the only reason I'm okay with all the issues the latest patch brought. But eventually you have to ask yourself if, no matter how passionate you are about the development, it might be better to implement less frequent updates in favor of a more stable, consistent game.
