cobaas@live.ie 62 Posted January 2, 2015 I remember to a time before standalone, well a couple of weeks really if I remember right, but The devs were saying that they were going to make area's where players were killed ofter, Cherno, Elektro, Major Cities, etc. were going to become filthy with diseases and zombies would be attracted - I know the zombie numbers will increase further into the year, espiecially with the new renderer, but I haven't heard a thing about the medical / disease aspect that they were talking about, couldn't see anything on the roadmap about it either and it sounded like a really cool idea! Have any of you heard a thing about this or about whether it's been scrapped or not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beck (DayZ) 1768 Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) I'm kind of wondering how you can find fresh fruit in a city full of diseased flesh eating people. Edited January 2, 2015 by Beck 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
☣BioHaze☣ 7337 Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Edit: @Beck it's "Day Zero" so there hasn't been time for fruit to rot. Also, I personally haven't seen zeds crouch and nom on a corpse since the mod. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's a neat idea and I vaguely remember this but I haven't seen anything about it in recent dev posts. I think they are more focused on getting to the point where we can have more zombies and have implemented a large amount of medical aspects before something like this would be experimented with.

xalienax 621 Posted January 2, 2015 not only should they add disease to cities, we also need contagious diseases. while were at it, i hope they go full hardcore tears mode like the 2017 mod. cut food spawns by 70% or more. Deadly cold temps at night. forced real-time day-night cycle. basically forced to scavenge or hunt for food because nothings left. surviving your first day should be an achievement. so should having 5 bullets for your gun. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeatHTaX 1217 Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Nothing screams "BEST GAME EVAR!" like dying from malaria xD Edit: I have been informed by some high ranking official from the CDC that Malaria is a tropical disease, and Chernaurus is not a tropical climate, so I have decided to rewrite my snarky comment: "Nothing screams "BEST GAME EVAR!" like dying from malaria Dengue fever xD" Translation: I don't give a f[]ck Edited January 2, 2015 by DeatHTaX 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
