Has nothing to do with how much ammo you have or can get. The issue is that the instant you spawn you have zombies on you. You bleed twice, bandage twice using your shirt and then get attacked again, and again, and again. Three friends, same story every time they spawned which for that night was almost 10 times each before they gave up. I like a challenge but I really don't want to spend my evening respawning over and over. I know it's alpha and I know it will be completely different in a few months let alone when it finally is released. I still love the game and I'm just voicing my opinion on the current state.

The problem is really with new spawns. If you haven't tried it then you don't know. Yeah, I played and killed every zombie with one shot too. I had a gun. But when you have nothing and get bled twice in a row and use up your shirt for rags and you get attacked again immediately you are screwed. I have also noticed that hardcore/first person is MUCH harder to hit with melee weapons like the axe. I later tried in third person view and it wasn't that hard. But new spawn is still an issue that I think needs addressing.

Have you actually tried playing as a new spawn since patch? Have you tried hitting them with your axe? Do those things and then tell me they aren't a threat. Two buddies last night were new spawns. They didn't last more than five minutes without bleeding out from getting insta-smacked by zeds. They started as new spawns and quit the game as new spawns and never made it out of the areas they spawned in. Another friend and I only survived going into town because we had guns and ammo and yet we still had to retreat to the woods because of all the zombie respawns insta-agroing from 400 meters away, over the hills and behind houses. Went through all of my bandages from a full first aid kit and a couple splints. Like I said in another post, I like most of where they are going with it but perhaps making melee work should have been a priority over making zombies next to impossible to kill in melee. I fully understand it's Alpha. I still love the game and I have faith in the devs. My main issue with your comment is that zombie ARE a big threat now. Mainly because of the melee mechanics.

I don't mind MORE zombies at all. It just seems like the melee hit registration is WAY off. I had to swing my axe like a madman just to connect once. And I know most of my swings were dead on. That's what was frustrating me more than anything. Had a blast when we finally opened fire and started the shitstorm of zombies in town, though we did have to eventually sprint for the trees. The insta-agro is just wrong as well. The other problem my friends were having is that new spawn is almost impossible now. As soon as you spawn you are being attacked and you can't hit back with any amount of success. If you don't have a weapon instantly you are screwed. That to me is a game breaker. You should at least have a CHANCE when you start over.
