Playing as a zombie, currently, isn’t a lot of fun. Even with your admittedly high health pool, you do so little damage that even a freshly dinged 50 can comfortably fight you and a properly geared character will crush you, your friend and the six NPC zombies you spent the last few minutes raising. Not to mention, you’re completely helpless if some guy with a flying mount sits on a tree and attacks with utter impunity.
It’d be nice if they could get a significant damage buff and a leap to get to higher locations. Probably too late in the day now, but still.
Also, we need to be locked out of the SW portal chamber. It’s fun for a bit, but it’s low hanging fruit and most attempts to do a zombie raid end there because it’s the only place people can’t stand on a roof and kill them for days.
I can confirm this. I was frustrated at the zombies. I still am, however, making the most of this does absolutely require large raids. Then you can have fun with it. It’s unfortunate that it does, we shouldn’t need to do so because it’s a highly infectious plague that should decimate the lands as it has in the past. But…this is what we’ve been given.
Maybe your experience is different from mine. I’ve been in raids of twenty plus zombies, and it tends to be a frustrating experience once enough people start sitting on rooftops.
