DevilDog (DayZ) 455 Posted January 2, 2014 Just a thought I had as I traveled around today. I think it would be awesome if when a player dies, after X amount of time, his corpse becomes a zombie. So not only would there be the regular zombies walking around you would have a zombie will all of this players gear too. Gone are the days of dieing and running back to your corpse, now you have to go kill your own zombie to get your stuff back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DemonGroover 8836 Posted January 2, 2014 Problem is, these "zombies" aren't in fact dead bodies reanimating, but Infected humans thirsting for blood - hence they can be killed normally, rather than a shot to the head. Your idea, though not new, would be a cool modification one day. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fluxley 2228 Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) This would go against the lore of the dayz-verse as the zeds are not your traditional romero type reanimated corpes, they are actually living people infected with a rage inducing virus similar to 28 days later.

Punkrawks 136 Posted January 2, 2014 I thought the defib brought people back to life... apparently not :/It would be nice to have the option. Say give someone 8 minutes of "death" before "Permanently dead" in those 8 minutes before brain death occurs, you must administer blood and defib.Would just be nice to be able to save a fallen buddy after a firefight.

Armonikills 4 Posted January 2, 2014 I'd like to see players actually being the zombie... Lets say you get infected, you can respawn a new character or play as an infected "thinking" zombie. But, what I'm thinking is that people can either choose to play a new char or the infected one until killed by a player. This would allow dayz players to have access to two characters on a server and allow people a different perspective on survival... as a zombie, needing to "feed" or "kill" their non-infected brothers. :P Just an idea on more player options...

Not sure how all those guys survived those helo crashes :P I actually didn't know that, guess I don't know my dayz lore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
