How about a new option? "Destroy body" lights the body on fire and attracts zombies and takes the same amount of time as setting up razor wire.

Why is it other suggestions get shot down by, "OH MY GOD ITS NOT REALISTIC" but when someone suggests sensible realism, it gets shot down by, "OH MY GOD YOU'RE SUCH A BABY". A player shouldn't have the choice of hiding the body, it should stay until the loot is gone or the server resets.

No. Currently, here's a few things that need to be addressed to make the game harder, not tedious to play. (Read everything, as skimming over my post and replying will make you look like a complete ass.) 1. Reduce the speed, awareness, and attention spans of zeds. You should be able to outrun them and draw them away from the area. This would increase co-op, as someone could run into town and draw the zeds away while someone else loots. They should be there as a safeguard to prevent a single person from instantly looting everything. 2. Let zed have normal speed inside buildings, but be unable to open doors or climb ladders. You could still lose the zombies inside buildings, but it wouldn't be as easy. 3. Logging out should have a timer that is interrupted by movement and damage. Alt-F4ing out should keep your knocked out body in the server for twice the amount of the log out timer. If the player dies, the body remains for looting. If not, the body is safely spawned out. I have personally never found a vehicle. The only thing I've ever found was a bicycle I couldn't even get moving. What there needs to be is some more cars that are completely totalled (need all four wheels, and all parts repaired), but car parts need to be rarer. I don't understand why Chernarus has nearly no cars but there's enough parts to build a tank from scratch.

I noticed that we have zeds with different animations, but besides the crawlers, as I like to call the ones who can't get up, they're all basically the same. I'm not suggesting something out of Left 4 Dead, but a little more variety wouldn't hurt. Shambler: This zed can only walk. Takes more hits to the body to kill, perhaps double what it currently takes for most weapons. So while sniper rifles would still kill them in one shot, M1911, Winchester, Revolver, etc would take two. G17, M9, MP5, etc would take six, so on. Mobility: * Damage: ** Durability: ***** Walker: Standard, up-right zed. Mobility: *** Damage: ** Durability: * Sprinter: Much faster walker, can catch up to the player. Mobility: ***** Damage: ** Durability: * Apes: This zed would use the current animation for the chimp-like zed. Would span in more numbers, so maybe 2-3 where only one of the others would spawn. (Once this is fixed, can climb ladders.) Mobility: **** Damage: *** Durability: * Crawlers: This zed can only crawl, increased chance to break bones. Mobility: ** Damage: **** Durability: ** They would all use the current skins and be visually indistinguishable besides their behavior. I tried searching but nothing similar came up. Then again, it's 3 am.

Here's a bout of realism for you guys. Oh look, zombies. Abort disconnect ok, zombie apocalypse resolved.

OR they could just spawn with a useless weapon that can't even be used for killing people because it requires you to be sitting still. No need to be a tryhard, I'm not saying we should spawn with any firearm. It would just be nice to have a means of dealing with a zombie that doesn't take metagame.

Here's the solution. Spawn people with an old shovel/bat/hatchet or whatever other melee weapon you can think of. It can kill zombies in two shots, but only has a low X (say, 20 maybe?) amount of uses. There, a nearly useless weapon to anyone but a starter, gives people an alternative to HURRR RUN IN ABORT DISCONNECT OK. I'd like to see how many of you would manage to survive for long or find any weapons if you weren't able to clear zombies.

That would be a terrible idea. This game is already hard enough to navigate indoors, I dont need to have my vision limited.

Case closed according to who?
