Burning things

Recommended Posts

Instead of having an option to make peoples bodies magically disappear (cause that makes sense), it would be cool if we could burn them if we have matches on us.  That way no one would be able to recycle the loot and it would probably attract other players, which could potentially bring in new and interesting experiences.  I know they want to add in dragging bodies, so soon you would be able to drag someones body and just hide it, or just drag it somewhere less noticeable and burn it.

 

waddya think?

All that requires extra animations, and loot dissapears after 10 min anyway, i dont really think its something thats needed.

However if the games performance wasnt affected by it, i think it would be ok to have it.

would the extra animation from something like that really affect performance? I know they are going to add in various campfires, would they really have to change much of those animations to have them on a character? I would assume they would just need to cut the animation a bit to fit onto the person being burned, but I know nothing about how that stuff works so I could be wrong.

Burning bodies would be a good idea. There are many possibilities to use dead bodies..

 

Here's an idea: Dragging bodies to an area that's populated with zombies, use that body as bait for your escape and easy disposal. Burning objects could be used as a distraction as well.. That's if smoke and flames will be apparent for zombies.

thats an awesome idea.  It would be cool if the player could rig an explosive to the body also(when they add in explosives), it could be a trap made for both zombies and players..
