Don't Just Bleed!

[therandomredstone 432]

Before I begin, I know that the current zombies are placeholders and have much more work to be done. But I believe that when the developers change the zombie-survival aspect of the game to actually a 'zombie' aspect and not just survival and pvp, they will have to change the zombies in one of 'atleast' two ways. The first way is hordes; sounds simple enough, one zombie is fine, 20 of them.. not so much. The second way; making zombies a living hell; they inflict more damage, are faster if they gain speed. (are easy to lose to counter the last feature) ((but stealth will have to be implemented) but I think, why make them just scarier and inflict more damage? sure they will make you bleed and hurt your stuff, but.. why not more? now for the suggestion:

 

 I believe that if hitten by a future death seeking zombie, they should not just hurt you and make you bleed. There should be after affects that would make the player truly be scared of the dead. These after effects may or may not include:

 

Blurry vision- here and there your vision gets blurry but goes back in a few seconds.

 

ringing in the ear- your ear can ring easily. for example a player hits you in the head an hour after getting hit by a zombie; your ears start to uncontrollably ring for 2-4 seconds then diminishes while if you were not attacked by a zombie then that wouldn't of happened.

 

(ONE OF MY FAVORITES)

*some may frown upon*

Have you ever played white noise or slender? you know how when you see him how you hear the loud DUN! then other disrupting, twitchy noises? Every. Single. time. after a getting hit by a zombie for lets say, the next 20 zombies, you will here a DUN and a fearful noise that will make you panic. But lets say you are on your 18th zombie after getting hit by one, and this zombie hits YOU. then your character screams. And the '20 zombie count' is reset. Something like this will make players want to avoid zombies COMPLETLEY. like you are out at night, and a zombie is there that you didn't really see and it goes DUN! You would jump in your seat!

 

Now keep in mind that these were just suggestions I came up with from the top of my head; other ideas that are 'after effects' could and SHOULD be added in to make players avoid zombies more, somewhere along the 2015 roadmap after the new zombie AI and engine is added in the game.

 

Thoughts? Disagreements? Opinions?

You are right that we need some sort of element that will make us truly scared of the zeds. But not the last suddgestion with the "DUN". Wouldn't fit dayz in my opinion. Sicknes would be one thing. If you have a untreated wound, and you get hit, or maybe bitten by a zed. Then you become sick. But of corse not infected since we're all immune.
