Just throwing my opinion out there, expecting criticism from all angles but everybody is entitled to their opinions. I absolutely hate the new update. I think it's ridiculous, and here's why: Zombies' line of sight is so overpowered, you cannot get anywhere remotely close to them. While crawling, they can still see you. So... what do you do in a city? Last patch, yes, I agree, it was too easy. I racked up 700+ zombie kills in two days, and the only reason I died was because I got sniped out at the airfield. That's too easy, I feel. There were a lot of things you could exploit to stay alive, and all of those were patched, and it's great. I can see all the kids who tried alt+f4ing because they're standing corpses are there for me to loot. +++ However, I feel this patch is just too difficult. I love not spawning with any gear. That's great incentive for me to go into a city and risk my life for some soda, food, and a weapon. However, when I can't move 20 ft in either direction without getting chased, it's so incredibly frustrating. I'm aware this game thrives on realism, and that's what initially drew me in. I just don't dig the sight on the zombies. Now, if it were implemented that you still couldn't be detected will crawling, or as easy as it is for zombies to spot you now, then it wouldn't be so bad. At least then I could get through a city as long as I was very careful. Now, it just feels impossible. My buddy had to kill 60+ zombies in under a few minute period because a zombie spotted him through the wall, and they just kept coming. I understand they want to encourage you to stay away from them, and they're dangerous, and encourage you to hide, but that is just no fun. To me, this game is no longer entertaining. It's just flat out annoying. I get no sense of reward, I get nothing but shit on. The chance of bleeding while hit exponentially increased, and while I try to bandage, another one spots me and breaks my leg, and look, I'm now unconscious. What fun is that? I feel there will be a lot of people who abandon this game due to this patch, and I will be one of them. I have 56 hours on this. 56, and I just downloaded it a week ago from today. All I've done was play this game. I've died plenty of times, but I've died more in the last hour than I have all of those previous 56 hours, and I'm sorry but this is zombie survival. Not a Bear Grylls, let's survive in the forest game. Which is all you can do because going into a city is just ludicrous. Again, all my opinion. I thought the game was absolutely fantastic prior to this patch minus the bugs. Screwing with the line of sight was just stupid in my opinion. I felt that was the perfect build, and they only needed to tweak certain things, like a few bugs regarding wall-glitching zombies, and things of that nature. I just feel there are more problems with the game now. I mean, like I said, I like spawning with no weapon and other gear, and I think that would have been much better with the previous build- but spawning with no weapon, and dealing with zombies that require me to unload two clips of AKM rounds is just ridiculous. No, I don't spray. I use the gun in semi-auto, and only one bullet is needed to kill a zed. I may be complaining, but I am not an inexperienced idiot. I can only hope this patch dies and moves on, because I am no longer playing this game until it's fixed. I gave it as many chances as I could. I guess the only complaint I have is in regards to the zombies, but the zombies are what the game revolves around. Fuck those up, I feel you fuck the game up. Everything else is pretty cool though. No side channel, which I love too. For those who prosper with this patch, that's awesome. Much respect. I felt like I was very good at this game before this patch. Thought I was clever and skilled. I no longer feel that way. I agree I was a little impatient at the beginning of the patch, and that resulted in some deaths, but after I took a few hours to gather myself, and spent 45+ minutes crouching/running away from being spotted, I just couldn't take it anymore. What a sad day.
