Sure, eventually you can destroy anything in this game based on how they implemented it, since 1 damage is the minimum you can set it for but you're not talking about killing the zeds after hitting them a 100+times. How many times did your fist meeting their face did it take to kill them? (guessing) it was around 5-10 times if you did this multiple times?
The thing I am bringing up is, should it only be 5-10 times?
It's like everyone will have sledgehammer fists..so why the need for a sledge anymore? or needing a club as your first cheap goto weapon?
Yeah, I know it's not fully balanced but it is curious why it would be set to cause such high damage.
PvPgate (and the undies for president campaign)
Depends how you look at it, time flies 24 times faster than in reality, 10 puches takes you say 5 seconds, so in reality you punched the Z for fully 2 minutes.
And about game balance: Your fists never get better, the club does (or am I wrong here?). Needing more hits to kill a basic Z might make fists totally impractical, as it is it is ok for emergencies but tests your patience as soon as you want to kill more than a handful of them.

I got a few things i'd like to beg for, if not avail in the initial A17 release maybe a later one:
1: Player sound effects volume slider, seriously most of the sound effects are repetive and hurt my ears, but I can't turn the sound down as I need to hear zombies sneaking up on me. Maybe an option to lower all sound effects from the player, have them have same stealth effects etc, just lower actual volume.
2: This is a big one for me and one of my biggest gripes with the game as a whole: Please don't let zombies screech and scream unless they actually see you. Seriously, I walk thru a poi, and stuff 2-3 floors above me starts screeching and making a bunch of noise. Whats worse is in A16.4 they glitch out and sit there permamently swinging at air, until you let them see you, insted of calming back down. I am not scared of getting hit but in A16 and below I never use guns, not even a pistol (thought I will use the smg as in vanallia A16 it has the lowest sound range), not due to being scared of the zombies coming, but because of the obnoxious as hell noise the zombies make, hitting blocks is fine, but they shouldn't be screaming every single attack when just reacting to a sound.
Thats why I never use guns, the zombies just make to much noise and it gets annoying very quickly, as they tend to never shut the eff up until you kill them. Its especally annoying when stuff 2 floors above you wakes up from just you walking around.
Prime example is the Pills building in those western town, second you loot anything, all the zombies on the floor above it wake up, even if your crouching when you do it.

I'm shocked!
Shocked I say, that the first smiley face is mugging the second and has hired the third as a bodyguard (is that a zombie bear?).
The fourth is too afraid to argue with an armored zombie bear (anyone want to face punch the armored zombie bear?? Hmmm? I thought so...).
The fifth is smoking something cuz he's had that smile on him for five days... wait a second, is he breathing???
