1.5.7 Made this game 10x more fun for me!

Recommended Posts

I love the fact now me and a group of friends actually have to stick together while entering the towns and villages. Either sneaking around the zombies and going prone till they pass us by, then moving to some buildings to see what kind of loot we will find. Or when we are finally all geared up we move into a town and clear it out and grab what loot we can and get out quickly.

It's a lot more intense now with the amount of zombies there are. Really makes you work with the other survivors or a group of friends. You can't just run in there and kill the 5 zombies. Then stay in the town and go afk for awhile. Now you have to get in and out fast before the zombies respawn and you really need to go in there with a plan when hitting a major city or large town instead of just running up and shooting the couple zombies guarding inside the buildings. You now actually have zombies wandering around out past the city or town or small village.

The only issue I had was the whole panic sound got really annoying especially when you have four friends and their characters are all panicking and you just hear the sound loop over and over for all the players around you. Really gets annoying, but the large amount of zombies put more teamwork into the game and more focus on the zombies actually making them a large threat rather than just more focused on being afraid of bandits in the area.

But that is just my opinion for the latest patch. I know it's still in ALPHA, unlike most people who forget it's still very early in development, but I'm sure we will see tons of great features and fixes in the future :)

Sneaking past zombies is easier if you do it alone.

Its kinda dumb to stick around together if not for more firepower.

Yet I see ZOMG PEOPLE STICK AROUND SO MUCH NAO as the number one argument these days.

The thing this patch did was making Y the most important key on your keyboard. Y enables the zombie easy mode.
