rickyriot 1009 Posted March 9, 2014 In the movie you got the feeling that they were zombies because that was the popular thing. In the book that movie was based around, unless my memory fails big time, they were vampires. Which explains the intelligence and why they don't like the sun. They weren't vampires but you they were affected by sunlight. They weren't zombies either I suppose but if you were looking to pigeon hole them then I suppose that's the category they'd fit.As for the intelligence, I don't really want to say too much as it's a massive plot spoiler for the book. Not the film though, as the film is as close to the book as day is to night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TEST_SUBJECT_83 465 Posted March 9, 2014 Definitely both.I really like the idea Dying Light has where zombies get more difficult at night, by going from the slow zombies during the day to the faster one at night.I would love for that to happen in DayZ in someway. I would like 2 zombie types.One type could maybe not function at night, they just stop dead in one spot when the sun goes down and stay in place until daylight comes.The darkness would be to much for them to process (or something?) and they would just shut down until they see light.The other types get faster and smarter when it gets dark, so they gain better AI and will hunt you down.The point of the dumb zombies is to have much less zombies to deal with at night but the ones lurking about are a lot tougher and smarter.Plus it would be creepy to run into one of the dumb zeds that cant function at night. They just stand there making creepy ass noises. I dunno? Just an idea I had while reading this topic. For those who hate it, just pretend I didn't post it :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
