So accordingly to people says zombies in dayz not supernatural thing they are just infected human beings and our chars are immune to this infection.
- With that theory ( actually i love that theory ) zombies are just hungry predator animals. They attack people not because we are enemy, we are food for them. Ok then.
- So predator animals attacks the most weak prey. If i hurt a random guy i met, while chasing by 15 zombies. Zombies must disengage me attack him and eat him.
- maybe theres a system or time count for zombies keep eating him and ignore me.
- while zombies eating him if i try to save him or get too close his body they must attack me ( i mean on wild life documentaries lion hunts a deer and tries cover his food from other animals until hes done )
- zombies should act like wolf pack on this kind of situations, they can fight each other to eat dead guy sometimes.
- well fed zombies should be slower and covered with blood.
- with that way we can distract them using raw meat or body parts and blood. ( of course its gonna be loud :) )
- So about the crows and birds.
in dayz Mod dead bodies was making a fly sound and that makes finding corpses easier.
here is the thing - crows and vultures spawns 200 mt. away from dead body ( in air or on trees ), flies to dead guys location and start drawing circles like old western movies. Im not trying to say that should happen every time someone dies. 3 to 1 chance is good for that :) we can see crows flying above the town and be more cautious in there.
- Sniper's worst enemy the BIRD :D
also we need birds on trees.
- If someone in treeline birds does not sing.
- if you shoot your gun in there birds gonna fly and reveal your possible location.
- also we need idenical bird sounds to know them in trees.
That would be nice feature for sniper wars. Sniper needs to relocate after shot.
- Plz devs put some nice harmless birds at sniper hot spots and give fresh spawn guy a chance.
Well some of these things seem hard to implement , like zombies eating bodies although I have always wanted the zombies to eat dead bodies as a way to clean up the server, that way bodies wouldn't need to disappear . The distraction system should defly come along in my opinion , but based on the lore of dayz I don't know what these zombies would be attracted to ? But I would love to see zombies get bloody when they attack , and imagine a zed eating too much (survivor) before server restart so that it's stomach explodes haha . Probly hard to put in game though to be honest . And on birds , it'd be cool to see scavenger birds eat dead bodies of Zeds and people , that is if scavenger birds are native to chernarus and if the bodies of Zeds and survivors would stay for more than 10 mins .
