Well, new game updates, almost unanimously bad for us survivors, but I welcome it, as zombie numbers have plummeted.
What ramifications will this have? Has anyone been "Blocked" yet?

Well, the ramifications are that we're totally screwed.
All the zeds have to do is agree on a attack time. You'll never kill them quickly enough to rebarricade again.

Anyone else realise why Kevan has been following the bash now? What an ass. Oh well, let's just show we're up to this new challenge

if anything, this makes things a tad more realistic. The success if variable, and may not be very high, this doesn't mean we're screwed, it just means we need to be more vigilant...which is the entire point of a zombie apocalypse in the first place

I was successfully blocked in Blackmore, and just after the update a large break-in (by recent standards for us) occurred, but we valiantly put it down. Doesn't change much... just makes it more interesting and fun for all involved. I like it. Ah like it a lawt.

So can you not barricade at all when a zed is inside or are the chances just reduced?

It's good that doors serve a purpose again- kinda. I tried barricading about 15 times in a building with 10 zombies and 15 survivors. One successful shot- them's bad odds.
Hopefully this update will really change things and make this a bit more of an apocalypse- though it bodes really poorly for the 20 zombies against 20 survivors type siege. :/

Hahaha, well, I say that when there's 50 or so zeds inside NE Giddings, we bug out into Morrish, I mean full scale evac. Let's see them break into a building manned by 800 or so survivors

This just means trenchies will be useful when they shoot first and cade later. And survivors will need to stock up on shotguns in general to clear zeds fast... Anyone now it the refresh-rise has been dealt with yet by the way? Cause that and these updates will make thing really hard when the zeds break in.

I think ?rise spamming should be next on Kevan's list, unless he's already gotten it. (Why would he do an update like this if he didn't?) Also, to re-iterate what I said in the What Now? thread, if you can focus on slamming the doors closed, it might be enough to get enough actives to shoot zeds. I have no idea if this will work, but its worth a shot.

if anything, I'm glad, I think this will get more zombies back into the game...their numbers have been a tad anemic as of late.

This is ruin all over again.
Panic, and then nothing.
