Survivor Zombie Types!

[Seruo 0]

Hello!

I'm a loyal fan of the Mod. I've played a lot of video games but this one just really gets my attention. I've been playing DayZ for about 6 weeks depending on if you count my very sad and very short noobie days.

My Suggestion:

I was thinking, it would be interesting that when a survivor dies and after the body despawns on it's natural timer a "survivor zombie" spawns in the bodies place? Kind of like a computer controlled enhanced zombie?

This particular zombie could have a few things going for it.

More Health (Harder to Kill)

Better Senses

More Damage

Faster Speed

It could even let out a unique scream that summon's surrounding zombies to it when it finds prey.

(Better loot upon death of course. :) )

Not to mention it would look like a survivor, that would really freak people out and cause some emotional and psychological distress. :)

It also has the advantage of throwing some "random hardness" into the game and furthering the supposed plot. The idea being if you encounter a "survivor zombie" you have a more difficult time accomplishing your goals and if you die in the process the area now has two "survivor zombies". Not to mention because survivors aren't that predictable and tend to die in the strangest places the spawns of the survivor zombies would be just as random.

As well it keeps the idea alive that "If I die, I become a zombie." Which would stay true to the basic plot of the game.

I realize that the disadvantage is that the server could very quickly become over ran with survivor zombies causing a huge shift in balance in the game against the survivors. I think that could probably be countered with a limit on this type of zombie. Maybe fifty or a hundred at max?

Just a thought. If anyone does read this please feel free to expand or further my initial thought.

As well, if this is not a unique idea and I missed a similar suggestion post please disregard.
