Alpha Feedback

I must say, I love the concept of the game and its general direction. I also love difficult things, and generally play this game with some RL friends so I understand teamwork.

However this patch it's too much at once. You reduce starting inventory, increase aggro range, and decrease the stealth of prone crawling all at once. Now I have been playing for some time now, and yet when I spawn I find this to be ridiculous. If I get caught by a Zombie that now apparently has infrared vision and my grandmas hearing aid. I get hit and start bleeding... great now I have to attempt to lose him... no easy feat, and on top of it all if I do survive I have already lost half my inventory at least and I am considerably injured. Let alone time wasted that my food and water need has increased with no way to immediately fix it.

That aside this "Teamwork" everyone is referring to where is it?

-First I understand that every meeting with other players is different.

That being said tell me how I am suppose to use "Teamwork" with some other fresh player on the coast, we both don't have anything. What is one suppose to just be bait and let you run in and hope you find something useful? Meanwhile the "bait" may or may not be killed or seriously injured and for what random loot?

Better yet, here I am fresh off the beach making my way to a town. I have nothing but starting items and that is blatantly apparent with my location, starter backpack, and no weapon to speak of. I come across another player. This one lucky enough to have a gun, long story short I was essentially executed with no way what so ever to defend myself. I could not even punch back -_-. and for what? my bandage or painkillers that I may still have had?

If anything instead of working together the lack of weapon or starting item makes people more paranoid, and aggressive. They figure well that person may get something I need, kill him now so he can't take my precious items.

I'm not saying this has been everyone's experience, however I know with the new patch I have died more on the coast than I ever did before. Worst of it all is at least before I was worth killing, I had food and water, and extra pistol mags. Now I am not worth killing and yet I continue to die along the coast, and get to suffer the terribly long (for whatever new reason) "Waiting for character to create" stage.

I understand this is Alpha, and the point is to test these things. However it is because of this being Alpha that I am posting this as that is the point, for Alpha testing which is generally speaking bug fixes and player feedback.
