Is less zombies actually more?

I actually find the zombies far more frightening than players. I have a rather old laptop, which can't run the game that well. This means whenever I am outside and look at the horizon, my framerate drops to shit. This makes the game laggy as fuck, and I have a rather hard time handling more than one zombie at a time. On the other hand, I usually encounter players inside of buildings, where my framerate is much better. This makes axing them to death much easier, especially when they can't draw their guns fast enough : P

 

Plus, the visual range of the zombies is utterly horrifying at time. I was travelling to Pavlovo one time, when I made the mistake of standing up on the hill above the town. All I see is all of the zombies in town slowly turn, STARE AT ME for like 10 seconds, then start booking it towards me. I think I pissed myself a little at that.

Honestly, it all depends on what you are armed with.

As a freshspawn, speed looting an unexplored town, they are damn scary. (I had like 5 on me at once while I was trying to get a hoodie.)

Once you are armed, they are much less of a threat, and only scare me when I am in a building on the second floor. I know they are in the building, but I don't know where. That is still scary.

there is a T junction of two dirt roads somewhere on the map ( can't remember exactly where) , that there are 7-9 zombies . Keep in mind it is in a place you would not expect them to be. this scared the living shit outta me and a teammate twice! First time was right before a restart stopped in the area to rest after the battle. We were surprised by them and both took multiple hits,after the restart we were in the same spot and had a second battle this time we were prepared! random encounters like this are what make the game! this needs to be put in place allover the map in random spots!

I've actually found the recent zombie increase quite awful,they've caught me off guard a number of times and surviving is at times a challenge. Whilst I still want to see loads in the major towns I would say the smaller places like Kamushovo have a decent amount now.
