on the subject of immunity and infection

Recommended Posts

Instead of writing off everyone as immune, how about we create a more compelling experience by having a 50-50 chance of your character being immune to the virus? It's a random statistic and you don't know or not until you get bit. Then you have to check for symptoms, could just be typhoid from that walking rot-bag or the actual virus. This brings in a new standard of trying to actually avoid the zombies. If your character isn't immune, you're in trouble. There's no cure. Eventually, your character turns into an undead loot-bag. Personally it sounds lazy when we just go "Everyone's immune!" and leave it at that. But you could slow the disease by giving the blood of an immune player to a non-resistant player. This could buy the infected person some time. Plus, it would make everyone worry if they're going to turn or not if they get hit or bit.

I think DayZ should drop the whole "immune to the virus" idea. Just leave it open why you have not succumbed. ...I personally woudn't mind a chance of catching a nasty zed-flue. That would make zombies scary in wholly new fashion.

Jdizzy, I think you should read your location again and concentrate on one word "YOUR".

 

There shouldn't be any "set" scenario. It is what ever YOU want it to be.
