400 DayZ 5 Posted January 2, 2015 I was watching 2 groups go at it in a town today (I watched them killing each other from a safe distance with my trusty binoculars)and I had an interesting thought; Imagine being concerned about scavenging, going from store to storeand you're about to leave the store. You walk past a window towards the door and something catches your attention in the street.. you take a careful look through the window ..and see a 'herd' of zombies ambling up the street! At your guess there was at least 20 of them..you hide in the store..frozen.. Or fighting in groups etc when you hear your mate say 'crap! herd!! lookout! as you all run for your very survival.. This I believe would add a new, simple, terrifying but effective mechanic to the game, as it isn't just a threat to the soloist, but groups and bandits as well. No one would be safe if they are caught. A random spawn in 1 or 2 towns each restart, they would amble along until stopped by organised firepower, or reset. And..it obviously fits in with the zombie apocalypse theme as well :) Whada you guys think? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BAHADIR 124 Posted January 2, 2015 The time will come that you will even hesitate to loot the smallest building because of infected. I believe it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfstooth 1 Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Well before they will do this, they need to make complete UI for zombies and system to dodge taunting them. By the way... herds would be amazing thing for server events, where could meet clans and defeat herds together... :-) Edited January 22, 2015 by Wolfstooth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
