Zombies and a few other things

[shaunsap 5]

I'm a new player to DayZ and I'm loving the game so far, however I think the zombies require a few changes.

 

1. Breakable bones and damaged limbs.

--- new players like myself struggled to run from zombies now they can sprint and do some sort of supernatural sprint jump. Maybe it could be possible to damage their legs so they would limp or crawl, still chasing you however.

 

2. Zombies have clothes...

--- ...and  clothes have pockets! Would be nice to find a zombie with a screwdriver, charcoal, pills or a couple of bullets once in a while.

 

3. Since when can zombies open doors?

--- Zombies are brain dead... it's amazing they can actually walk! But opening doors... unless you could simulated a way for zombies to smash through those little wooden doors.

 

4. Where are they all at?

--- There are a lot of houses in Chernarus, yet so few zombies! Even with 40 people on a server, Chernarus seems empty...

 

Other things I'd like to see.

 

1. Vegetation

--- It would be nice if there were a few apple trees where fallen apples (and rotten ones) could be found. Also maybe potato plants where you have to pull it out the ground. They could be dirty or muddy, and have to be washed with water or at a well.

 

2.  Wooden sticks as weapons.

--- Walk through the forests and you may find a big stick that could be used as a club!

 

3. Bricks

--- I see a lot of bricks around. Wouldn't it be nice to smash in the head of a zombie with a brick, or maybe be able to throw bricks at them? (Or players if you're one of them spoil-sport bandits ;) )

 

4. Torches

--- make some rags, combine it with a stick and some oil. Just light a match and wollah! A torch! Can be used to see at night, or club a zombie in a fiery fashion! Can only be held, dropped, or picked up... can't put one in your pocket cos you know... it's on fire.

 

5. Open cupboards and wardrobes to find supplies, food, and clothes!

 

6.  TEMPERATURE.

--- stay out in the rain too long and you could suffer from hypothermia! Keep moving into buildings or out when it's try to keep your body temperature up! Certain clothes could aid in keeping you warmer for longer.

 

7. Gun stock club

--- haven't got a bayonet or ran out of bullets? That's al-right, just flip your rifle around and maul your foes with it instead! Yay! More blood!

I think a lot of the things you've mentioned are actually planned/in development right now.

 

Things that defo are planned:

 

Proper temperature

Melee for weapons (Bayonets are in game but don't work yet)

More zombies

Farming/Food from the ground
