Hopes for a darker future

[bloodtrozorx 145]

I'm glad we don't have this type of silly zombie...

Tarman is not silly. He wants BRAINS!

But yeah, At least DayZ zeds can't talk like the above zombie although that could be kinda really creepy..

Didnt Rocket said those zombies are indeed, zombies? not infected. Zombies. Deads Walking.

So they should look more like zombies imho...

No, he said the opposite

DayZ zombies are infected humans

[ponc 100]

NO.

I dont want hollywood-brainwashed darkness crap.

DayZ has it's mood BECAUSE it is not artificial dark, but rather realistic weather and landscape.

this is a biological infection, not some kind of "demons from oblivion" put up their realm of darkness.

I am even a little disappointed that they add so much blood on the ground in interiors tp the standalone.

i don't like this, although i love gore in general.

but i want it to be realistic, not cinematic-hollywood-artifical-stylelized.

there is nothing better then to sneak through an empty town in full daylight, while u suddenly hear noises around the corner.... or somebody shooting.

i especially hate it how left4dwad did it. dark, poisonous sky etc. bullshit crap.

as for the sombies:

they should act more like animals,predators, in my opinion, not like walking dead.

I feel like i won't crack this nut but you DO know that everything you just described is very real right? "Demons from hell" just because a zombie is deformed or falling apart doesn't mean it is supernatural, flesh eating diseases already exist and are very brutal.

"Poison sky" If the infection is biological and you can get it from the air therefore everyone is infected (Walking dead, left4dead) then the moisture in the air could start to become discoloured and toxic because it is a BIOLOGICAL INFECTION.

And what I'm talking about isn't "Artificial darkness" do you know what artificial means?

Rocket is tackling this from a plausibility standpoint. Not a supernatural dead walking the earth aspect. He wants the virus that has infected the people to be scientifically possible.

It's like the film 28 days later versus the walking dead. The walking dead has dead bodies reanimated, lots of gory corpses that are visually scary. In 28 days later the infected are still living, still human, they're just not thinking or acting like humans do naturally, the virus has taken control of them. The idea behind a situation like that is more scary to me than walking dead bodies, it's also easier to relate to because of real viruses like rabies and other things that cause a loss of control in humans.

I have repeated this a million times, viruses can be skin-eating, some of the zombies in the walking dead are rediculas (Like the lady with the bycicle in the pilot episode) but I'm not saying it should go that far, but it should at least look more deformed, but without organs or eyeballs missing, they can still travel without limbs because real humans do that.

Yeah, I get what you're saying. I was just trying to explain why that type of thing is lacking in DayZ. It's not in Rockets vision, and ultimately he has final say. Which I'm glad he does because I honestly share his opinion on this(and just about everything related to DayZ).

Possibly because all the things you mention are from a game called arma 2 that dayz has a bit to do with ;)

You're wanting a lot of out of a mod that already delivers quite a bit, but I'm sure the SA will meet some of your wants, but not all of them.

No there can't be skin-eating viruses. There exist no skin-eating viruses to this day and if you understood what a virus is, you yourself would understand that it simply is impossible to exist.

Also, if the virus caused loss of skin or even a loss of organ(s) this would indeed be a very short zombie acopalypse. A VERY short apocalypse.

This is a realistic game, if any of the alterations you desire of the zombies were to happen, they would have to be a lot more disabled when it comes to movement, to the point where they aren't the 28 days later type of zombie. This stays true for as long as they want the game to be a realistic game. If you think that these alterations wouldn't change the attributes of the infected humans, I DARE you to find me medical proof. Because I know it doesn't exist, our knowlegde of the human body proves me right.

Stop.

Being.

TECHNICAL.

If zombies are ripped apart, tattered, and deteriorated, they'll be a LOT more scary.

I want them to look threatening; I want them to scare me. I want them to really give me a chill down my spines. If they look like 28 Days Later infected, I won't be scared of them. If I fear them and see them as something else; Something that really can tear you apart, something practically unholy (even though it is realistic; flesh eating diseases and stuff)- like the Walking Dead zombies, I will be scared.

This game is about surviving the zombie apocalypse, and zombies that actually scare people is needed- Not some cheesy, low-budget blood make-up knock-on-my-door at halloween zeds.

Why do you want these zombies to look like little kids who dressed up for Halloween? Why don't you want them to look scary? A zombie with his ribs revealed is a lot more scary than Mr. Peterson with some blood makeup. The standalone has the ability to give us zeds that look like zombies, not retextured civilians.

Seriously- I don't care about the technical things. I want my zombies scary, mysterious, and absolutely repulsive. I want zeds with mouths hanging from their faces, arms dangling, ribs open, all of that.

Seriously, you're just ruining the fear factor for others.

[Diggydug (DayZ) 331]

Shrapnell, the point being made is they're NOT zombies, they're infected people. The player character, from what I know, is part of the minority immune to the virus. Those unfortunate souls are still human and require their body to work to some extent, but they're not going to wince at pain and retreat...

People initially came for the "realism" this offered compared to other zombie games, ye? That and the freedom...

Well stick to what's worked...if the virus is to be realistic, which I believe Rocket wants, then they can't be rotting and still running.

[BearGravy 53]

I am tired of all these technical zombies. I just want them to come out from their graves and just be undead. I don't need an explanation or a t type virus. Just zombies.

[Diggydug (DayZ) 331]

There are no graves to come out of...that's an entirely different fiction, and to fans of zombie lore and fiction, it's a big deal in a zombie game on what the zombies truly are and why they're that.

Has no one read what I said 3 god damn times, let me put a bunch of shit beside it >>>@$"ROT TO A CERTAIN POINT, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO HINDER THEM FROM ALL MOVEMENT"$@<<<

[Diggydug (DayZ) 331]

But why would a living human rot and how does rotting not impede someone?

[Ziliphade 20]

But why would a living human rot and how does rotting not impede someone?

Let me ask you a few questions.

If you lost a leg, even two, wouldnt you be able to crawl?

If you lost one of your eyes dont you have another?

If one or even two of your arms are already gone, cant you, as a ZOMBIE/INFECTED WHATEVER THE FUCK, still bite people?

If huge chunks of your skin came off, exposing bones like shins or ribs, wouldnt you still have perfect locomotion and just be more fragile?

Last question here, actually no I decided this one would be a statement, it is a video game, and what the people in the video game are infected with does not exist, so anything at all could be made up to excuse why they could look a lot more scary.

I am hoping that the statement stuns most of the fans long enough to make them forget about what flawed response they were about to make, not directed at you Diggy, but I only want one more post on this subject so people can start discussing what I started the thread for.

[hazedaze 89]

you sure are a man bird sir

[Neneu 3]

leprosy, look it up. QED, your wrong.

So you really don't know what a virus is. Okey. Let me explain, a virus is not alive. It doesn't consume anything. It is impossible for a virus to consume flesh.

Leprosy is caused by a bacteria (two different gram-positive Mycobacteriums), which is a living organism. HUGE difference.

QED, you're wrong.

Let me ask you a few questions.

If you lost a leg, even two, wouldnt you be able to crawl?

Very, very slow. Oh those would be hard to get away from in this game. Unless you want them to increase the zombie count by alot, which will stress the servers even more.

If you lost one of your eyes dont you have another?

The zombie would have trouble aiming for you, because he can't see how far away you are. So the zombies would be less dangerous then.

If one or even two of your arms are already gone, cant you, as a ZOMBIE/INFECTED WHATEVER THE FUCK, still bite people?

But you can't run if you're lacking two arms. Figure out this one for yourself. Again, slow zombies.

If huge chunks of your skin came off, exposing bones like shins or ribs, wouldnt you still have perfect locomotion and just be more fragile?

No, just no. You wouldn't. Several problems which causes the infected human to be not even slightly close a perfect locomotion. In fact, he would die very fast. Since you didn't know what virus even were, I suggest you start checking out microbiology, because they cause one of the problems.

Last question here, actually no I decided this one would be a statement, it is a video game, and what the people in the video game are infected with does not exist, so anything at all could be made up to excuse why they could look a lot more scary.

Well a lot of us care about the lore. We don't want excuses.

I am hoping that the statement stuns most of the fans long enough to make them forget about what flawed response they were about to make, not directed at you Diggy, but I only want one more post on this subject so people can start discussing what I started the thread for.

Sometimes people don't actully find what's important them, to be the same as what you find important. Don't jugde responses to be flawed, just because they don't fit in your reality.

But that that is what you did to mine, also read the second to last qoute that you replied to over and over and over again, because you are not getting it by even a little.
