I used to be able to hit zombies as they were emerging form the ground. Now it seems I can't hit them until they have fully emerged.
graveyard change?

Back before the Phantoms even
Back before the Phantoms even existed you could attack the Skellies the moment the animation started planing. If you had a Khorovod then it was a sort of absurd version of wack-a-mole.

What's really changed is how
What's really changed is how Phantoms move around.
Before, they would float about in ''will-o-wisp'' form until they were close enough to you, then they'd appear as their Phantom form and attack. -Now-, they stay in Phantom form, even if they're far away, and they just walk slowly toward you. Adds more of a creep factor to be honest.

Actually, in tier 1 they would wander to me in spirit form, then appear as a phantom when it was close enough. In tier 2 it would walk to me in phantom form. I'm not sure why that was, the times I went to the graveyeard for tier 1 and 2 were only days apart. But I know they walk toI know I was a little creeped out by the walking phantom.

Speaking of Phantoms, is it
Speaking of Phantoms, is it just me, or are there more of them now? It seems like every time I get to a Graveyard in T1, I get sucked into a mob of Phantoms with Skeletons surrounding the mob. Are they just producing more Phantoms now or have I never noticed?

@Zoa, I've been in tier 2 for
@Zoa, I've been in tier 2 for a while, and this change seems to have happened a couple weeks ago. Just in tier 2, phantoms used to go to spirit form if you were a few feet from them (running away would cause them to turn into a spirit again). Now they seem to stay in phantom form permanently after they've locked onto you. This is better to me because the only reason I used to step away was to shoot them a couple times or get some breathing room, but if they turned into a spirit, they became invincible. Now they take the full damage if I should step back for a bit and shoot.

@katanakid
Unless you're in a party you aren't supposed to be encountering multiple Phantoms at once, ever. If that's happening to you try submitting it in a Bug Report.
Though, something I noticed is that Phantoms seem to ''revive'' much more quickly than I remember them being able to, at least in Tier 2.
That change was made a looooooooooong time ago.
