This new feature does make the game harder and can be better or worse depending on who you are as a gamer, but the fact that they spawn with armor and weapons front leather and wood to diamond is just a little bit OP especially because of the fact that you could get very unlucky and have multiple zombies spawn around you with each having fully enchanted diamond armor and weapons. There is almost no possible way you could live through that without using cheats, playing in creative, or using mods. I'm sorry if I am offending anybody but i just don't think anyone could do that, I don't know anyone even close to having that much skill.
First off you would have to be in the same spot for a really long time for them to all start spawning with armor, they aren't always enchanted, not to mention if you were that established in a spot you could easily take them all down since by then you would likely have 2 stacks of diamond blocks.
On top of that I've never seen a zombie spawn with diamond armor, it was always from when I died that they picked that up. Supposedly they can spawn with diamond armor, but if it's that unsure then it is obvious you don't have to worry about it.
How to defeat a zombie: punch tree, make wooden pick, get stone, make stone sword, hit zombie, back up, repeat previous 2 steps until you have favorable results.
haha this make it so easy to farm armors and experience from zombies, may build some farms based on these updates
They only spawn with three types of armor: Leather, Gold and Chain. By the time you set up an efficient zombie farm, probably all these types of armor will be useless to you.

I was trying to think of a signature and this is what came up.
Alright, so we have 1. Skeletons that are the most annoying thing in the entire world. 2. Baby zombies that can murder you if you are not careful, and now 3. Zombies that home in on you no matter where you are. There is a difference from being challenging, and downright plain annoying. At first this seemed like a cool idea, gave an added challenge, but when there were 25 zombies in one horde, that was when i had other thoughts about it. Not saying get rid of it, just make it a little less like l4d, because that's what its starting to feel like, and i agree, nighttime SHOULD be dangerous, but there should be other ways to do that, and this is not it.

The wiki says they spawn with all and I still can't find where it mentions it in the code, so they actually might spawn with diamond.
