I've been playing for weeks and i'm having trouble since the patch, I expect a new player who starts playing for the first time would not enjoy the game enough to get past the initial difficulty curve.

We don't usually play together all at once (:, usually 4 of us on at a time. I guess you're right about prone, but we're all used to crouch-running near towns and walking when near zombies. We'd prone as a last resort if zombies come within like 15m. I guess what I'm trying to say is, none of us enjoy going prone like 200m before we reach a town, crawling through the whole town, aggroing once and being forced to pull the whole town. If you played before the patch you know that if you press C, you pull every zombie in a 100m radius. Now i feel its the same if i press X. Which isn't fun for me and my friends atleast. Too slow and easy to be hit by snipers. Besides prone was stealth nerfed too, but that might be fixed now. Perhaps a change could be that zombies walk towards gunshot locations instead of sprinting, like you see in walking dead sometimes. They are attracted by noise but i think that one gunshot at a distance shouldn't cause them to sprint to your location directly. It's alpha anyway, people will express my opinion better than I can, I'll be back next patch (: But yea, all my friends were playing non stop the last week, now none of us are playing the game. We might just not be "hardcore" enough. But it's not worth crawling that far. Side note (nerf broken legs): I respawned my last character because I got hit through the tower wall on NE airfield and was forced to crawl looking for morphine, crawled for 1 hour before not finding any and respawning. I'm not going back to that life... it took me 1 hour to get from tower to devils castle. Would be nice if your leg got better after like 30 minutes - 1 hour ingame, because I couldn't find any morphine anywhere and it's instant death if you aggro with a broken leg. (had 2 in my bag but gave them to my friend who got hit through the wall too). since when does morphine fix a broken bone anyway? In my opinion it would be better if the only cure was over time, but morphine makes it so you can endure the pain and walk on it for a while.

Been playing this game for a few week with a group of about 10 friends I convinced to buy the game, since the new patch and increased aggro, none of us play and are waiting for a "fix". I really liked the new patch apart from the aggro changes. Instead of sneaking through towns we just run stood up and line of sight all the zombies in a building. it's not viable to sneak through towns its better to intentionally aggro them all into a barn, lose them, then freely loot everything. Also not looked around but food is not spawning anywhere and I killed 4 people, none had food. People are saying you need to "adapt", but they're not thinking straight... because you can't sneak past the zombies you have to expend ammo and doing so makes it not worth attacking a town in the first place... you'd be better off avoiding towns completely. I'm sure that's not the intention of the patch. Before the patch good players only needed stuff from airfields, now that they cant get into any small towns easily there's no point at all in approaching them.
