kargoth 0 Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) Hey guys, I was thinking about the zombies and how we playing DayZ actually. We don't fell fear about the creatures that we should. OK, a human can be really scary, but we ignore the zombies and kill them easily, and it makes sense, 'cause they should be easily to kill, one by one. What I mean is that zombies aren't predators, they are a plague. They just want to eat, eat and eat more to stay "alive" and keep eating. I think that they should be slower, almost unable to run, but capable to cause serious damage, attacking the player, grabbing our necks and trying a bite that could be avoided shaking the mouse, pressing "F" repeatedly, almost destroying the keyboard or something like this (Your health should determinate how long and faster you should do it or what you should do to avoid), jumping in our backs, taking us down... And obviously we need hordes of them, walking together through the streets, some of them inside the buildings... Zombies are "weak", you could punch their face and knock them out, but ONE BY ONE. Now think: Try to take painkillers in a hospital? Go to a military airfield? Take a walk in Cherno, for example? Forget it! Alone you can't pass through them or kill them all. You should wait the horde "go away", sneak silent, step by step, taking cover to stay invisible, ask for help or help someone that you never saw before, 'cause without him or her you'll never do it and he/she either. You should know the time to run, to stay, to shoot, etc. I know that this hordes could generate a lot of problem, like LAG, for example, and the zombies of DayZ are not dead zombies, but infected people, but I guess that changes would be funny, at least. What do you think? :D P.S.: Sorry for my spelling, there's a long time that I don't have to write in english... :rolleyes: Edited December 30, 2014 by Kargoth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
☣BioHaze☣ 7337 Posted December 30, 2014 These are some good (albeit old) ideas, some of which may be implemented to a degree but I think you are forgetting (or unaware of) the fact that everything as we know it in DayZ is a "placeholder" and that everything you see will be completely changed in the next 2 years including every aspect of zombies and how they interact with the players, animals, and the environment.

Thumper1999 48 Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) If there were more zombies added this game will become the walking dead with that many zombies. Edited December 30, 2014 by Thumper1999 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
