Judopunch 523 Posted March 31, 2014 Maybe in the future after you kill a player, who has taken damage from a zombie that has made them bleed within the last hour, after about 1-3 minutes the body get back up as a supercharged 'fresh' zombie and goes crazy. For a time after death the 'fresh' zombie has increased movement speed and hit-points. -solves the run back to your body problem, your old body is now trying to eat you-adds a new dynamic to the pvevp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AzrailCross 48 Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) I've been semi-wishing for post-death zombie mode rather than -just- having the body get back up since I first heard about the standalone looong ago. In the case of not getting killed by a head shot at least, to come back as a runner-type zombie that you can choose just to respawn from or continue living as - requiring you eat people to survive or slowly rot away to hunger. Nothing expansive or elaborate, just nahm nahm zombie eat brains try to survive. Edit: Zombie/Infected either way.. suppose if the lore is infected instead of zombie then 'when dying to to the 1% infection rate' that they have- your allowed to continue playing as a rage induced killing machine :P mainly just for the fact on some days I wouldn't mind just being a infected, shambling through town as if I'm just 'one of the rest' and then picking on someone when they are busy looting or when all the other infected have swarmed and the brains are easier pickings. If it all worked well wouldn't be a bad thing to allow the player-controlled infected have a few simple abilities, such as a 'dodge' roll and leap that are faster paced than the player movements to get out of the line of fire and actually give the player-infected a slim fighting chance to at least be an annoyance. Not anything like L4D just enough to be creepy and slightly harder to kill. Edited March 31, 2014 by AzrailCross Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
makomachine 263 Posted March 31, 2014 Not a terrible idea but misses what the developers are calling zombies - technically they are infected, not the undead. You could play on that with infections though later in the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeefBacon 1185 Posted March 31, 2014 Players coming back as zombies has been suggested before but has been rejected on the grounds that it doesn't comply with established lore. It's also apparently difficult to code for whatever reason. I'd like to see players coming back as zombies. As you say, players wouldn't just be able to loot their own corpse, plus it'd just be pretty cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karmaterror 982 Posted March 31, 2014 Solves some problems, and id be for it but doesnt fit with the lore. We are meant to be immune to this virus or whatever it is. That's why all the player turning threads get shot down :) PS suggestions sub forum ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which is incurable, and results in sneezing I believe and just progresses to eat health until you die, only really able to avoid the infected death by keeping yourself energized and hydrated so your regening faster than it kills you. Not arguing with it, just wondering where that came be and if there's a mix up or misinformation about. Edited March 31, 2014 by AzrailCross Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

taco86 156 Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) Exactly what c.o. wolf said... Dayz zombies are not your cliche walking undead crap, they are infected people... Think of 28 days later... To be a bit more blunt... Not a good idea, does not fit within the story of the game at all. Edited March 31, 2014 by taco86 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
