Now, we took a major nerf here, but I personally (and perhaps i'm the only survivor) think it needed to be done, if for no other reason than the zombies SHOULD have the upper hand in a city like malton. I like excitement, I like waking up in the morning before I go to class and logging in, anxious to discover wether or not I died in my sleep.I'm not sure I follow. To paraphrase another popular video game, suppose you're stuck with pistol and shotgun, while the opponent has access to higher level goodies like rocket launcher or shaft gun. Yeah, you'll be able to nail your opponent a number of times by employing advanced strategies, but he will be wiping the floor with you most of the time. How long do you think it's going to be fun to fight against stacked odds? Did you noticed that skill for skill zombies have the upper edge?
In the end, Malton is a numbers game. Whom who gets more friends in the fight, wins, for the current definition of 'wins' which is hold/gain ground. That's what kept the social aspect of the game active. At this point, survivors need to gather 3-5 times more friends to have a chance, I don't see how that's going to happen. As a result, the survivor community will splinter even further, as there is no point left in joining forces with other survivors.
