Zombies kicked the shit out of me at NWAF

[Anton17 97]

Sort of embarrassing to die like that but all I had was an Enfield and really was going there just for the fun of it with only 5 people on the server but things took a turn for the worst.

I had around 9k blood when heading for the barracks. Had a few hits on me that took me down to 8k while I was messing around. Got myself bandaged up and grabbed an AKM before heading for the barracks. Just as arriving there, I had around 10 or so zombies tailing me and from the 3 weeks I've been playing I know that if you just keep running or get to a building, you're fine. I preached in the threads about zombies not being overpowered, agreeing the pistols needed a nerf but perhaps not that much and that you can still sneak around zombies and the added power was a bonus.

However, I was only aware that they had their hearing fixed, not some other kind of boost? While I was running, one managed to get a stretch-armstrong super punch on me to break my legs, and as I proceeded to morphine myself my blood went from 8k to death in literally 5-7 seconds.

I'm not trying to cause a stir here. I was running out in the open generally quite carelessly and didn't pay the zombies much attention, as the same as in 1.7.2.3. It did, although, quite surprise me of their amazing luck of leg-breaking capabilities and the speed of which that managed to cane down that much blood that fast. I really couldn't do a damn thing.

Was it just the hearing that was fixed or did they get some extra spice?

They can do more damage.

They can do more damage.

Huh. I wasn't aware of that. Certainly would explain how they tore me to pieces so quickly. At my time of death, I could only see 2 or 3 zombies at my body, therefore within range of their melee.

Are there any tables or statistics of exactly how much damage they do now?

Don't feel bad man.

I was at the NE airfield and ran around the ATC tower. 4 military zombies spawned right in front of the door to the tower just as I rounded the corner. One swipe broke my leg and I was not able to crawl up the steps to get in a better position to take em down. I had all 4 on me. Game over.

I was a little miffed that it went down like that, especially seeing I went the route I did to avoid the 2 that had spawned on the south side of the ATC tower. But, I know it's not a finished game and has issues. Nothing I can do about it now. Just respawn, and have fun getting my shit back.

Really they just ripped your leg off and started beating you across the head with the soggy end :)

I don't feel bad about the death at all since I wasn't trying to be cautious or sneaky at all. It just really surprised me at the rate I went from fine to dead.

I know its based on blood levels and that there's a % chance of a zombie breaking your legs or doing other nasty things. But I can honestly say in my experience, that is dying from around 5-10 times due to Zombies, it really feels like if you're under 9000 blood and you get hit by a zombie, you're totally fucked.

Can anyone else provide their experiences? It doesn't feel like that 'random' percentage is all that random of a chance at all.

I was running towards the northern ATC tower in NWAF, some debris is apparently blocking the exit (not really, there's at least a 50cm gap to run through without even trying) but apparently the guy you play as is as fat as a whale and can't get through. The 2 zombies I had chasing me quickly got me surrounded, I was out of ammo. Game over. Ghillie Suit and NVG gone, and I was not a bandit :( 900+ zombie kills, no murders, 69 bandits killed. FU game! I was doing so great :P

I died because I tried to rush into the Tower by just sprinting. Too bad the entry was blocked.. Smashed "V" 100 times... didn't work. *broke bone* - You are dead.
