Church Bells should attract hoards of zombies.

Doesn't make sense that my footsteps can attract 10 + zombies in a 50m radius but a bell that can be heard a city over doesn't get any loving.

Those bells ring 4 times an hour(i think?) infected might have run towards them at one time, but after not finding anything time and time again, they'll just ignore it. Footsteps on the other hand usually lead them to your delicious brains....so they listen for that.

Basically what he said. When was the last time you saw your local wildlife shitting itself when its hears background noise? The zeds would have learnt that the regular chimes are just part of the soundscape.

So is there any reason you couldnt change it so that the bells aren't automatically rung? They could only be rung by players who wanted(for whatever reason) to summon the whole of the zed population in the area.

Think of the fun you could have, lol.

Idea has some potential, even if most of that potential is of the 'Trololol' variety.

Where would the hordes come from? Spawning them in the town would screw over people who were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Also, a sudden horde could have an impact on server performance, which needs to be considered.

would be nice, churches loot gets buffed and then add this.

it wouldn't have to be agro, just causally change the direction towards the church when the church bells ring

I personally don't understand HOW the bell could be ringing. There's only two real viable reasons for it, and neither of them fit DayZ.

- If there was some little hunchbacked midget ringing the bell, surely the Zeds would have eaten him by now, or he would have starved.

- If it was automatically chimed, that would indicate a power source being active, and as of right now, there's no power in Chernarus at all.

+1 to players ringing it or something.

+1 player interaction ringing :)
