Infection

[Nesuma (DayZ) 108]

Hello survivors from the other side of my internet connection :D,

I've an idea for the infection, many people think its quite too strong (me too) and in a new Devblog somebody said they think about a new system, where, after you get infected, you've to disinfect it within an hour (with alocohol/medicin/etc). I like this idea as long as you get a symbol for beeing infected, i don't want to disinfect me after every zombie attack just for being safe.

Now, my idea.

The beginning is the same, but I'd love to see that after the hour you get the real disease, maybe it should be even stronger (6 Blood/second) and in the end when you die (if you can't find Antibiotics) you turn into one of the strong zombies. Also it should be very catching for people nearby.

This way, for example if you play in a group they've to decide when it's to late to find a cure so they should shoot you (Good bye fellow :/ ) because, nobody, really nobody wants strong zombie right next to you during a battle with bandits.

Maybe the zombie should keep your things and have to be killed for the loot (like in "MineZ" if somebody knows it), or, the second way you should lose the loot (so you've to kill your mate befor it happens).

Hope to see some good ideas or new points from you :)

It's been brought up many times, and the general reaction to the idea is pretty negative. It says right on the DayZ website, all survivors are immune. The infections we get from the zombies are everyday infections, not the one that turns you into a zombie.

Hm okay right but did you've watched Walking Dead? Because there everybody is "infected" but it only comes out if you get attacked by a zombie or you die. If it would comes out here when you die too, I wouldn't mind and I just like the idea´.

But this is not The Walking Dead, and survivors are immune to the zombie infection. Go see for yourself, it's on the website.
