I like the idea of a ton of zombies. I just don't like the idea of starting out, at or after dusk, with nothing but a makarov, in even a small town where the zombies outnumber the buildings 10 to 1. My friend and I have been playing for about a week now and it's been a great nerve racking experience, but just before the patch we where killed by bandits and had to restart. And the only time we can play together is in the evening. We both HATED the new patch, with a f*cking passion. Until we finally found a server with reasonable ping that was still daytime when we where able to play. Once that one thing changed it started to be fun again. I get night time is supposed to be difficult and I agree it should be, but for us people who have to start over and are only able to play in the evenings it condemns them to a cycle of death with nothing we can do about it. Maybe the developers should consider reducing the number of items and zombies in the coastal towns (at least the small ones) that way new and respawning players can have a chance, especially at night. That's just one suggestion, if anyone has another I'd like to hear it.
