Zombie Survivors

It would be cool if a survivor got killed by a zombie, it would become a zombie and you would have to kill the zombie to get your stuff back

I believe the survivors are immune to the infection and that's why they aren't zombies already.

oh right! :D lol i didn't know that

I do agree that there should be some zombified survivors, who weren't immune to the virus and got infected. They should have a small backpack (Containing some supplies, but not much.) and some different survivor clothing, but act like normal zombies.

I have mixed feelings about this. It would be pretty cool to see some survivor zombies walking around with maybe someone valuable loot but then again how would you find your stuff? And what if the server restarted on the hunt to find your stuff? Also what if you joined a different server, Would it be there?

I like this^^ (Sutinen)

It's been mentioned before. I remember thinking "do these baseball caps make survivors immune?"

Every person wears the same clothes, but no non-survivors shopped at that store.

It would be a nice little touch, but in SA there will be less variation in zombie models until the team have time to get round to making more.

By that time we should be into clothing customisation for players, so this "survivor zombie" will be irrelevant.

Maybe by that point a "vest and baseball cap" zombie could be like an inside joke, or a nostalgia reference. I would like that sort of thing.

yea losing your gear after death would be unthinkable...mighty lord!!!

i think justifying the lack of this feature with story is kinda weird in the case of dayz. dayz has no story at all and basicly leaves it up to the player

s imagination. sure Rocket said some things about the infected but i don't think those statements are law to him. stuff might change.

i'd love this feature since it would bring more randomness/unpredictability.

but i would already be happy with some real zombies/infected instead of grotesque stupid puppet creatures. i miss the zombies from the first versions. you couldn't lose those and getting close to them was actually dangerous. it got kinda ruined after the new AI was added. you had to deal with every zombie you aggroed. these days it's the opposite.

anyways. would be great if those survivor zombies could take a bit more dammage since they just got infected and still have alot of human strength. or maybe those would be harder to shake off since they still have more of their original senses left.
