Blood trail

[bahhh 83]

Simple.

When you bleed, you leave a blood trail behind.

Players can see it and track you.

Zombies also can smell the blood trail and will follow the trail.

This would add much more immersion and moments in the game.

I know this would be a big impact on the performance, but i think it could be possible in the 1.7.2 patch.

So, what do you think?

PS: This is Jack's idea. He asked me to post this for him

Could be interesting. Though since I really doubt most people go more than a few meters without patching themselves up, I doubt it will have much of an application. I suppose, though that limping into a house, then patching up, could lead to some pretty lulzy action where zeds start to congo in after you.

I support, this would be more effective for player killers if they only get one shot in on them and caude them to bleed.

They can at least track their blood trail. Thats why I think bandages are important to stop the bleeding to stop the trail from giving your position away.

"uhm i hit that guy but i didn't kill him, let's follow the blood trail in a totally unpredictable way he will never expect it"

For this to work better, there should be a way to slow down the rate of bleeding. I saw this suggestion about holding the wounds to slow the rate of bleeding, that would work perfectly with this.

Zombies who "smell" a blood trail, should walk, not run. like it's investigating

I dig it. \m/

if the zombies follow the blood train how will you bandage to stop the bleeding when they keep following you?

Yes! Opeth! \m/

Back on topic, what's this about holding wounds slowing bleeding? You'd basically need to be standing still to do that in a realistic way, but I think it'd be a good idea.

I don't have the link to that suggestion, but it was something like holding the wounds while walking/running.You can slow down the rate of bleeding while you do that.

Pre-Heritage of course. Not the Steven Wilson crap (Although I love PT).. lol

Back on Topic - I dig the idea.. Can even make the blood light up with a chem light at nights.. \m/
