Anyone actually enjoying the game more at the mo?

Not played much recently so I'm a little out of touch but I've just put in a few hours last night and today. I've seen a few posts on here freaking out about the Zombie aggro and that it's impossible to loot anywhere.

 

I'm loving it. You can take out the infected perfectly well with your fireaxe and carry on looting if you don't rock into town and blaze away with your guns. Guns now seem pretty much for PVP only.

 

I like the scarcity of loot, very TWD. You've survived for awhile now and finding useful stuff is getting harder. It took me about 2 hours to find a shirt to replace my zombie-damaged tactical shirt. SKS ammo is very rare with the new guns that have been implemented so that's why I'm even less likely to shoot up zombies.

 

The new Zombies have the feel of the Mod about it which means they are a bugger to shake.

 

The only draw back is less players seem to be around.

 

Also anyone used the hoe yet in melee combat?

In my experience even the zeds in towns are manageable as long as you don't fire guns (and have a good melee weapon), you just have to run a little more and longer and looking over your shoulder got more important :)

The hoe will kill a zombie with two strikes.

You cant really discuss the loot atm, since the rarity of items depends on others looting skills, ans it will start respawning soon enaugh.

Hoe is useless imo.

The hoe is a two shot kill on zomboids I believe. I'd like for the zombies to be improved in the glitchy/wonky sense before they increase the numbers too much more. Right now it's fun and if I am wise I can avoid most all blows.

As long as I am able to skillfully avoid damage and detection later on I want as many zombies as possible. It'd be awesome to entire the fire house and see a scene from the Walking Dead, 100 zombies slowly turn to meet my eye.

I cant really say i enjoy it, frankly it is quiet boring.

Get an infected in the head with a hoe for a one hit kill. I've had a hoe for a few days now. But I couldn't play at all until the recent major update because of the "desync" dramas. So I'm having fun playing again. The new infected are a step forward.

I was playing on very low pop servers, (most aussie servers are low pop these days). The places I visited were not looted. Food and drink is plentiful but finding non-bugged shirts and ammo was very hard. I ended up with a Grunge look until I found another tactical shirt.

Zombies dont bother me much.  I have really been enjoying the game a lot lately.

Yes, use da hoe.. You can one hit headshot kill a zombie with them, but body shots will take 1-3 to kill typically. 

 

Its a great melee weapon to use imo for zeds.. only second to the fireaxe (there are other equal weapons to the hoe, Im just saying its good)

[makomachine 263]

I'm liking it better with each release. I've used the hoe and will pick it up in a heartbeat if I don't have a fire axe.

I love it atm, I haven't needed to regear though so that might be an issue. I'm totally rocking the IRA look though. 

[execpro22 128]

The only issue I have is zombies spawning within sight of you which totally breaks immersion.

 

I'm sure they will change it, but they really need to spawn out of your sight...

[s1rGr1nG0 81]

Yeah, the zed spawn is kinda crazy. Killed a zombie this morning and when I turned around it re-spawned right in front of me. I killed it and then another spawned just a few feet ahead. WTF. :huh:
