DayZ Standalone Suggestion: zombies

[riva01@hotmail.com 0]

hello all. I am relatively new to the community, but I am aware of dayz standalone

(PD: my English sucks sorry ._.)

and wanted to talk a bit about zombies runners. the idea with this is to create a zombie that generates fear. running outside and indoors.

would be nice if the zombies were more realistic. maybe walking fast, not runing, but the fear resides in their ability to infect. if it bites, you have a lot of time to find a cure and not die. so you will have people not afraid of a zombie who runs and hits. instead they will have fear of receiving a single bite that could kill you.

Now, using the crafting system one could create temporary medicine to slow the infection, taking objects from nature maybe. and a rare item as some pills to stop the infection.

The idea of this is to give zombies generate fear. and not zombies who run and hit people.

this is only a idea, and again sorry for mi english (I hope you understand me) :s

The zombies will be able to run in the Standalone.

And there will be 12+ different diseases with separate cure for them. (Real ones. Can't recall right now.)

The infection from zombies themselves will most likely get tweaked to no end when the Standalone comes out, so we'll see what we end up with and what works the best.

interesting what the 12 infections.

'll have to see. My concern is that the zombies do not give fear. instead they take you for a ride all over the map ^ ^ u

But in fact it does make you fear if you have bunch of zombies running fast behind you and not giving a second for a break.. If they were slower but more fatal, running through cities/villages would be a lot easier because you could easily dodge them.. But yeah, a mix of fast & weaker and slow & stronger zombies would be good :D

All i care for is zombie variety really... just lots of different ones skins and other things that are coool

Yeah i'd like some zombies too, atm i'm playing 28 DayZ later.

The zeds imo should be able to give you the infection with only a single hit. The zeds we have now are just too far away from being scary.. If I knew that those zeds could infect me with every hit, I would then freak out in the game when I see one... Seeing dozens of zeds running behind me gives me literally no excitement anymore. They are weak and very easy to be lost. If they were slow but in massive numbers, and every hit of them would be a potential death sentence, it would "THEN" be scary and fun having the feeling that I would lose my character right now If I would get hit by these zeds at least once..! =)

If they were also fast, then it would be no fun to die literally every 2-3 min tho.. :P

I think the same.

is more scary if a hit or bite can kill you.

If I see a zombie very close to me..... scream and run away XD

I would avoid or afraid of a zombie would have to do that

but if they run and infect 100% it is impossible to play ^ ^ u

I'm extremely excited for the new DayZ. But I'm also dreading the day where I get it and launch it, only to have a runner follow me inside a house before I can find a reliable weapon and end up killing me.

I'm unsure whether it's already fixed or going to be fixed, but the E3 preview of DayZ has shown the zombies to be just as glitchy; they run through walls, through doors, and attack from random distances. So all of that mixed with the fact that they can run indoors just scares me, and not in a good way.

Most likely able to outrun them such as going around buildings then sneaking out quietly or even hide in a room I'd hope. The zombies really did look glitchy in E3 on their latest alpha build but it's an alpha. We'll see major improvements I'd hope :)

As much as I doubt this will ever be a thing in the new game, I'd love to have the ability to hide in closets or cabinets, or even crawl under a couch or bed.

"Safe spots" so to speak, where players can get rid of aggro-happy zombies, and wait until they shamble away.

Again for your cute sig, take my beans! :3

Another idea is that zombies can not open doors, maybe you stay locked inside the house. and the zombies outside waiting. is great. more realistic.

maybe get someone to save you or lose zombies agro in a while

I see many problems with this, but I love the idea, I really do. In fiction, zombies usually try to break down the doors that stand in their way, but in DayZ they open it and on some occasions are polite enough to close them too. I would love to be in a scenario where I have very limited ammunition and a bag full of food, having to wait for someone to hopefully come and give me a hand before I either starve to death or the zombies manage to get in.

Yeah, let's have realistic zombies!

Oh wait

I think also. if implemented melee weapons, Kill a ruuner zoombie is much more difficult :s
