[SA] Suggestion to "remove" corpse running!

[robim 14]

What if zombies could be attracted to dead corpses, starting to walking to them and when they are there, they start eating the corpses and destroys the gear.

This means that if i die, i cant just run back to my body because its probably gone, and if its not gone i probably have to fight zombies to get it back which can be pretty hard considering im a fresh spawn now and wont really have a gun since they are supposed to be rarer in SA.

 

what do you think? :)

Seems pretty cool I guess.

I think your corpse should disappear if you come near it, but this sounds like it would work better. Even if the gear doesn't get broken/zombies don't mess with it, with SA there will be hygiene to worry about so I guess all items would eventually be tainted.

It's the least immersion breaking idea I've heard on the subject since ever, so props mate. I think it'd work. At the very least, players killed by glitches and the like would have some chance of recovering their gear. Bodies magically "Poofing" out of existence, or not being intractable with at all is kind of silly.

There's actually a recent thread here that ended with pretty much the same conclusion http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/143557-death-and-reincarnation/

 

Definitely a good idea i'd say.

I kinda feel really stupid for never have suggesting this myself. Infected wouldn't just bitch-slap you to death then stroll off; they'd munch out on you.

It doesn't neccesarily have to do away with the gear entirely (maybe not for perishables) but perhaps it could increase the repair requirement on the loot - maybe change the dead body to a seperate model of a dead person over time, etc.

 

+1 man. It's an idea I genuinely really hope gets picked up by the DevTeam.

Good idea...

Some grammar beans for you.. :beans:

dead corpses you say ......and this "mechanic" is only restricted to your own corpse obviously? otherwise this doesn't make any sense and would kill a major part of the dayz experience

Well there aren't very many fresh corpses other than your own corpse.. So obviously, yes.

ok ok I admit i have "to row back with my boat" a bit. i gave it a shot again and yes i admit it is actually a good idea! i had a somehow different thought process going on when i posted it ;). so yes nice idea!
