Promagnum 1 Posted June 19, 2012 I feel like I should be on the look out for nature. Large cats. Rabbits. Rabid Squirrels. Hogs. Horses. Cows. Bulls. Dogs. And varmint.It's a infectious epidemic right? An out of control virus or disease? Infected? Contagious?Never mind a companion taken from a bad movie idea, shouldn't the companion be trying to eat me when it smells the meat I need to cook to survive? I think so.And before you get too worried about it turning into rabid-zoo simulator 2013, I'm not talking about a massive farm-land invasion, but more of random occurrences... at least. I mean I would think that if there were some sort of zombie outbreak, the first to go would be the animal population, at least in terms of the evolution of disease.Anyone else agree? Or am I alone in thinking that the sound of a hawk over head should have other plans than traveling south.I think it might add another element to an otherwise small gene-pool of zombies. With maybe the exception of a zombie with a flashlight stuck in his head after falling on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turin (DayZ) 3 Posted June 19, 2012 Someone suggested the idea of adding infected dogs to the woodlands and wilderness. I think it would be a good addition, as long as they're not too common. They should be common enough to make you a bit cautious and paranoid when travelling through the wilderness... but not so common that you can't run for 5 minutes without something attacking you.

Gzack 0 Posted June 19, 2012 The only thing with this is that a infection like this, would just affect humans, in fact dogs and wild animals would probably help kill of zombies... Just sayin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diggydug (DayZ) 331 Posted June 19, 2012 This would radically change the game. People already complain that the zombies run too fast. You wouldn't stand a chance against a dog if you didn't have a gun...It's DayZ..Day Zed. I've never seen a zombie-dog referred to as zed.I support animals being out there, wild deer and stuff, but to zombify them would be annoying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure how it would radically change the game either. People complain about zombies, why are they playing a zombie game? That is a non-issue.Isn't Zed just prose slang for zombie? I'm pretty sure it is. I'm also certain since we're talking about something fictional, it would be okay to have a zombie animal. Animals have blood, in fact most testing for humans is done on animals. Having animals infected wouldn't be a stretch exactly would it?Hell, even if they weren't infected, shouldn't there still be wild animals? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
