mrblonde 2 Posted September 9, 2015 When the infected are put back in. Im saying you shoot one round no supressed, you just rang the dinner bell remember that good ol expression. Im talking of a horde or herd of about 20-30 strong.The difference with my infected that if you are not wearing decent clothing and they scratch or bite you, you are infected.Tough luck good game game over. Now you have 15 to 30 mins to either shoot yourself in the head or your buddy to shoot you in the head. your choice your call.Discuss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BCBasher 2465 Posted September 9, 2015 One key piece of lore in this game with so little in the way of a cannon story is that we are immune. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrblonde 2 Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) I did not know that piece of infomation. So i take it the infected are just an inconviencious instead of a threat. Well done BI well done. But hang on i read that you can contract brain flu? Edited September 9, 2015 by mrblonde1990 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conrad_The_Comrade 577 Posted September 9, 2015 Brain flu?? Are we talking like Kuru or something? But yeah, we're immune to the zed virus, hence why we ya know, aren't infected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrblonde 2 Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) Dead island comes to mind. Why can't there be a game where your wanna average joe without some sort of super power. Edited September 9, 2015 by mrblonde1990 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But hang on i read that you can contract brain flu? Can or could get a brain disease from eating unprepared human meat as far as I know, I'm against cannibalism even in video games so haven't/won't try. On the as far as I know things I believe before I started playing at one point in the development you could get an infected wound from the infected but it was the same as the infection you get at random from stitching up wounds currently. Correct me if I'm wrong on either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrblonde 2 Posted September 9, 2015 Would make the game a lot more survival based, no more Kos to a certain extent, And there would be alot more risk vs reward imagine going in a town with 12-15 random guys only 4-5 make it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't get become a tiger due to it attacking me either, but I damn sure wouldn't want to be trapped in a backyard with one that hadn't eaten in 3 weeks.

xCAPx 349 Posted September 9, 2015 are you sure it will stay like that? i always expected zedinfection to return one day. greets "Ahh! Why are the zombies so fast/hard/angry?!Simply put - the hostile humanoid A.I. in the DayZ universe are not zombies. The angry, screaming, filthy A.I. you encounter scattered throughout the Chernarusian country side are human beings infected with a highly communicable virus that drives them into a blood thirsty rage.These people are very much alive, unlike the traditional "zombie", and thus can be killed with shots to the body - rather than just headshots. The player characters in DayZ are immune to this virus, and thus do not "turn" into the infected when attacked." - official DayZ FAQhttps://dayz.com/faq#/q12 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theSpike 1 Posted September 9, 2015 I think I read a while ago, that the devs considered implementing a Z virus infection for players.To be honest, it would makes sense when you start thinking about soft skills and perks.At least it would pose a additional threat to the Zs and you would consider attracting their attention twice. -- My two cents --It could be like being infected gives you a certain time before die from the infection, or you could try to find some sort of suppressants, that hold the virus under control as long you take them.Then on one side the virus could give you more stamina and damage resistance, but drains your resources faster and increases your body temp.And at the end if you don't find meds or run out, you die and turn into a NPC zombie, this way you would be also a threat to your group ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
