rottingcore 1 Posted May 13, 2012 Currently zombies are of no issue to players. Although they present a challenge to players, you have no real reason to fear them unless you are out of ammo and alone. BUT, what if you introduced a new HUD element that displayed "infection", and being hit by a zombie too many times could cause said infection? After x amount of time passes without curing said infection, you die and a zombie is spawned in your place (the zombie is theoretically you, but it's just an AI zombie that was spawned and nobody has any actual control over it).Example: Me and friends are walking through a city and we are overcome by a huge hoard of zombies. We are attacked, and i take a lot of damage from said zombie hoard. After the zombies are killed, everybody is healthy..but something is flashing on the right side of my screen. I'm infected. Now, we need to find some meds (like ZOMBEX from dead rising) within the next 10-20 minutes to cure said infection, or i'll die and a zombie AI will take my place(as if i became a zombie, but having zombie AI solves the issue of over intelligent zombies). This not only creates a new mechanic, but it means that people will have to make room in their inventories for the zombex item~ or take a huge risk. It can also present a danger to your team to keep you around..in which case they may need to off you.However, you could also choose not to tell your team that you were infected, in hopes of curing it and not risking being team killed. Hopefully this concept makes sense to everybody who reads it, i just thought this idea was neat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spanishkiller 0 Posted May 13, 2012 I think it's a good idea but it's complicated i think but zombies sometimes make a rally hard job to find things even with people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
levvy (DayZ) 0 Posted May 13, 2012 I like it, I think its silly to be able to tank zombie hits in any game, as in pretty much all popular media the zombie virus is always contagious.I also wish it was headshots only and slower zombies... and about 10x more of them. And they wander the woods aimlessly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
