Nytness 1 Posted May 8, 2012 Just a simple suggestion,My ventures to the coast have brought me many a great thing, through various means, but none so much as the corpses of players.Death is not such a bad thing now, Its like being thrown into nature's sick and twisted supermarket...As i walked the isles searching for beans and bullets, i began a thinking.. How would i feel if these dead survivors/bandits were to re-animate right before my eyes, or as i passed them by? to suddenly be knocked unconscious by the bandit i just shot and killed for his sardines... Kinda haunting..It could be a new type of zombie, freshly re-animated survivors. Faster, stronger..Or are the survivors simply immune?What do you think?

WaxMan (DayZ) 0 Posted May 8, 2012 That is an excellent idea I love it, loot the body quick before it gets back up (random delay?).. perhaps an additional option to burn a body will stop it getting back up? keep the bury for after you have shot them for the second time.

lewisyounger 0 Posted May 8, 2012 I think only players killed by zombies (or certain types of zombie) should be re animated. Getting shot wouldn't do that. It is a great idea, you could defeat this thing happening by burning the corpses so they can't come back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WaxMan (DayZ) 0 Posted May 8, 2012 I just thought about dead characters getting up and walking around looking for brains will make them certainly more difficult to loot if you have the chance of notifying the locals that you are there when you go to shoot them again.

jetlinerx 2 Posted May 8, 2012 I dont really like the idea, I think that it would be interesting to see survivors as zombies, but I think it would just be unfair and frustrating to be mauled while trying to loot someone. If this were to be a feature, the change I would suggest is that if you find a dead survivor/bandit, a shot to the head, or burning them, (without destroying loot) will ensure that they wont ambush you while you aren't paying attention.

Nytness 1 Posted May 9, 2012 A burn or shoot them in the head option for sure!It depends how the infection works. Are we purely immune? or are we infected right from the start, the virus just waiting for you to die?Many theories as to how the virus works, but how does it work for us?Personally, knowing that my zombie self would be rising to kill the bandit that just got me is an awesome feeling..
