Are the Zombies Usain Bolt based ?

[CttB 0]

Hi, sorry for bringing back this idea

 

I am a great fan of this game and I am completely aware it is in the Alpha stage but my suggestion is that more zombies ( in amount but not too many) are added and that they could be slower, after all they are dead and decaying, they can not think properly any longer because their brain is rotten so they would not be able to do complex things but grab us and bite wherever they reach their mouth.

 

Maybe it could be a progressive thing like "new" zombies a little faster than old ones, and all at ramdom so the things are easier to the developers

 

 

In my opinion fast zombies all the time is ruining the game fun because we, survivors, have limitations like thirsty, hunger and fatigue and the zombies dont. They are zombies not superheroes  :P

 

With too slow zombies the game might get boring so it could be added some deseases transmitted by the zombies' bite, if the survivor doesnt get killed or hurt to death he could get infected by a kind of desease that might kill if not treated.

Or don't randomize it, but use the properties of zombies in certain areas of the map to help balance the risk/reward aspect of looting. Places with better loot could have more deadly zombies.

i thought they were just infected and not " Dead and Decaying"?

[nettles 396]

Diseases/illnesses are already confirmed.  Zombies are infected living people.  That's why body shots kill them.  Think Rage virus from 28x Later.

I think a variety is best. Crawlers, shufflers, walkers, joggers, runners and the odd Usain Bolt.

I think it makes sense for them all to be pretty fast. I always figured that the infection in DayZ was similar to the rage virus in 28 Days Later.

Yeah Mos1ey... I love 28 Weeks Later, I still cant find the first movie on DVD though :/

Come to think of it, they both seem like ebola (bleeding out the eyes, ears, mouth, ect) and rabies (obvious)... maybe its whats happening to the world now!

Personally, I like my idea as well:

Have a mixture based on the environment. In the woods, they would be walkers, jumpers, crawlers, and joggers because they are weakened from the lack of food in their area.

On the coast, there would be Usain Bolts, runners, joggers, walkers, jumpers and crawlers because thats where everyone is, and they would be well fed, but a mixture of all for realism. There should be literally hundreds of them, it would reduce PVP and it would make people think twice about firing a gun at a newspawn when theres 100 infected nearby. Hopefully, some people have the IQ of the infected when they get a gun or fists...

In small villages, there would be joggers, walkers, jumpers and crawlers since they are fed well, but not as good as the coastal infected.

And in airfields, there should be a LOT more infected. Like, when the engine can handle it, maybe 50-100 of them. Everyone goes to the guys with guns when SHTF, and military airfields have guns. They would have Usain Bolts, joggers, walkers, crawlers and jumpers, but there would be armored and civilian versions. Plus it would stop camping if theres like 50 armored joggers outside.

So basically my idea is this

Usain Bolts- Faster than we can sprint, presides in military areas and the coast

Joggers- Run as fast as we run normally without sprint, presides in military areas, the coast, villages and the woods

Walkers- Stumbling idiots, sliggtly faster than our walk, weakened by the lack of food. Found in military areas, the coast, villages and the woods

Jumpers- the crouch leapfrogging infected. They can do whatever thats called faster than we can crouch run. Not sure if starved, or just mentally incompetent, as this is extremely painful if you ever try this.

Crawlers- the last stages of an infecteds life. They have been starved, beaten, and cast out by society. They crawl as fast as we crouch walk, and make little to no noise. Poor things... theyre people to Carol!

*new infected idea*

Dormant- The last hours of an infecteds life. They just stand, sit or lay there. If they lunge for you, they fall and shed a tear. Youd have to TRY to die from one, good suicide zombies though.

* newer new idea*

Randomized zombie crashes

Randomly put zombies pinned under cars, or rubble, or maybe even have one impaled on reebar or tied to a post or somethin. They woild add immersion, and have a chance of breaking free as a walker, jumper or crawler. Or maybe make them static, so that we can always count on those infected reqching at you from the rubble of the international hotel or that car on the road by Stary. But they could stil grab and possibly kill you if you got too close. Another good suicide zombie. Or maybe add a mixture of static and dynamic?

And maybe I should even post this seperately? Maybe the zombie are already here!?!

Whaddo you guys think?

Yeah I've always thought that different types of zombies should reflect the stages of infection and whether or not they've had a good meal recently.

 

I mean those dudes and dudette's are HUNGRY, I'm sure we've all seen them chasing cows and whatnot by now, there should be drawbacks to them not getting food.

So called Usain Bolts should be fresh zombies that are burning through their bodies last supply of adrenaline maybe, desperate for their first fix of sweet sweet survivor meat.

 

It would also be cool if they stopped and feasted on dead players so that if you came across one it'd be slower due to being full of meat and bits of clothing.

 

Most importantly though I think(if not just to appease whiners) they should all be able to cause serious damage.

Like crawlers, crawling as in dragging themselves across the ground, should be able to grab your leg and bite you. Which does no serious damage, simple bandage job.

However you get a serious infection from it, so that if you're dumb enough to get caught by one of the slowest moving(sometimes steathily placed) creatures in the game you get punished.

If you haven't seen the first one then buy it now, lol. It's 10 times better than the sequel.

[pale1776 375]

Yeeeee quoted by Mos1ey, Ill put this next to my beans from Orlok and Steak.

Ill buy that next time the money hits, I liked the sequel so the first must be better. If its not, Ill hint you down Mos1ey...

I honestly think that if an infected kills someone, it should eat them right there (or carry it to the horde, I Am Legend anyone?) unless theres a distraction. This would help keep server performance up with a realistic way to delete bodies, and combat the running back to get your gear.

Are the Zombies Usain Bolt based ?

 

The LADY zombie is.

 

since the collapse of the Soviet Union no one gets steroids any more ... in the game they are called "antibiotics" they are hard to find

you need to take about 60

Both survivors and zombies are Usain Bolt based and can run forever. Must be the virus...
