Thoughts on dead corpses and Situations generated from putrification

[TheLast-StaR 16]

Not sure if it has been brought up, but are they adding flies around dead corpses? This is something that I recall in the Mod and I actually liked it.

For one its realistic. Death and putrification of corpses and all that comes with it. Flies was something that upon hearing them would cause me to be even more aware. I don't see any reason not to add to the game. Also dead corpses scenario is something that they can and should build on.

Just some ideas.

Flies around corpses.

Chance of sickness from dwelling far too long around them. I think we can agree that rotten flesh may be a cause of infections.

With the addition of animals , even wolves or other predators can be attracted to a free meal. Generating hunting opportunities for live players.

An idea I thought would be cool, is to see vultures flying over head whenever there may be multiple deceased.

I share my opinion with the community and also would like to know where the community stands on this subject . Curious also as to ideas regarding the matter.

OHHHHHH you mean putrification lol ok. Dude I saw 'dead corpses and purification" and was thinking you were talking about some Satanic ritual or some religious thing lol Def like the ideas though

[nexventor 429]

Yes liked it in the mod and will like it when it is in the game.

It all sounds good, especially the vultures!

Thought this title was referring to Genocide at first..... XD

 

Sounds like a good idea.

i am curious about the infection aspect, hoping they add it after all the "zombies" are really infected humans so why am i immune?

why don't there bites spread the disease that infected them.

Find rotting body

Collect fluid

Mix with water

Give water to someone

(Force them to drink it at gunpoint [optional])

???

Profit

1 or 2 crows circling overhead 5-30 minutes is also a great idea!

When I read crow, I immediately thought of TWD season 1 opening credits where the Crow is feasting to a dead animal. Don't know if I would like Crows to be aggressive like in Resident Evil. Wouldn't that be some shit to be pecked to death by a swarm of Crows? Lol

Hopefully they build on the Death scenario. DayZ is a cause and effect type of game. There can't just simply be dead corpses laying around without any effect on the general surrounding.

The Resident Evil crows were OTT lol...

 

I think flies are a good idea, but crows... not too sure. They would have to show like 5 minutes after the player is killed because otherwise other players will be immediately alerted to a dead player. Good idea though.

The infection spread to everyone(and possibly everything), what's left are those who are immune to it.

I'm fairly sure that vultures don't live in the general part of the world where DayZ is set.. but crows, yes.

 

By the way, are we going to be able to shoot birds once hunting/cooking is in the game?
