This game has become way too hard

So im very experienced at this game, to the point I got bored with it and stopped playing about a year ago. It was challenging but in a fair balanced fun way.

Today I came back to it, and holy hell theyve ramped up the difficulty way too much. These new insane monsters, the huge fat woman that takes minutes to kill, the birds that cant be hit at all, the wolves that are just as bad as the zombie dogs... Plus even just the normal zombies are buffed. Used to be if you were good at it, you could kill a normal zombie in three shots with a basic club. Now it takes at least 5 direct head shots with the same club.

I feel like now you have to have at least mid-game level gear to stand a chance with even normal zombies, much less specials, and god forbid trying to fight off a horde anymore. Remember when you could go out and kite fight a horde? Not anymore.

Does anyone know why they cranked up the difficulty to such an insane level now when it was damn near perfect before?

Basically you start out nerfed and handicapped to baby standards and are expected to grind your way to have abilities you should've started with.

It's way easier to nerf / handicap a player's progression than actually make the environment more difficult, with say for example, not completely terrible AI.

No, it's more like early game with crap weapons you should be avoiding zombies.

They should be hard to kill with a crap club.

What? I'm new to the game and I kill zombies in 3 hits to the head with a club. What difficulty are you playing?

Eh I only started with the current version of 7dtd to play with some friends and it's really not that difficult. Only issue I have is if it's still fairly early (I don't have anything really good yet) and while out gathering a zombie dog horde spawns right on top of me (which they seem to do!) and that kills me sometimes. But other than that it's been easy peasy, especially once I got myself a little farm going.

@OP: would you care to share the difficulty level you're playing at?
Without that we can't tell you if what you're experiencing is normal or not... :-]

the game is harder, but gets easier as you level up. Dont expect to kill a zed at level 1 in a couple of head shots, you will get 1 kill head shots when you have gained the skills to do that. the wolves and zed dogs are still the same, a litrial pain in the ass. The birds are difficult and also attack with alot of damage to you. I wait untill the bird does an incomming dive attack, I get off a shot with a bow or x-bow then run out of the way, 3 or 4 hits will take one down, with a little practice the birds wont get a hit in

What most people don't get IMO is that one of the inspirations for this game was Skyrim, so like in every good old style CRPG you ARE GOING TO DO the nefarious "Rat Contract" quest!

So basically when you first start you'll need to skill up before even thinking on going ballstic on zombies. This is NOT an FPS where your direct skill at controlling you character is all that counts. This is also a CRPG, so your character SKILLS + character ATTRIBUTES (coming in A17) will be as important as your own FPS skill.
