Killed by zombies?

Killed by zombies? Shouldn't you turn into a zombie?

I'd like to see some sort of system implemented where the DB keeps track of where you (or another player) died, and a special zombie of a player character spawns there after some time, with some pretty sweet loot.

Also, military zombies, y u no drop things like sidearms/tools/nvg's? This would encourage people to leave the NWAF occasionally and go looking around at other places, such as green mountain for example.

This would be exploited. People could fuck with the server by just running to a group of zeds and dying, repeatedly. No.

I totally agree with what Yiddus said could be easily exploited, not a good idea.

This would so be abused. Group gets one player to die, waits for zombie with "sweet loot" to spawn. Group kills zombie, gets loot. Rinse and repeat.

In regards to loot spawning. It really needs to be completely random. This would reduce farming and server hopping farmers.

I do like the idea of the possibility of players corpses rising from the dead after they are killed. Perhaps only if they are killed by infected.

Doh, beat me to it Yiddus XD

That did fuck with servers -- all the dead bodies along the coast from people respawning continually for a "good spawn" were seriously screwing with servers. The current version has fixed this issue by de-spawning dead bodies -- couldn't/shouldn't it also de-spawn the dead-but-reanimated-body in exactly the same way?

This would so be abused. Group gets one player to die' date=' waits for zombie with "sweet loot" to spawn. Group kills zombie, gets loot. Rinse and repeat. [/quote']I assumed the "sweet loot" would be whatever you had when you died? In which case, there's no exploit.

Actually, imagine if instead of the "YOU ARE DEAD" screen, you got to watch out of the eyes of your now-AI-controlled zombie corpse... If you got eaten by zombies when playing in a group, you might have to watch yourself eat one of your friends!!! Or watch your friend put one in your head to save themself (and secure your gear).

Won't happen, seeing as the zombies are infected people, not classic zombies (rocket has confirmed this multiple times http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=7597&pid=70225#pid70225).

I would suggest people reading through the "rocket said" thread and his posts before making suggestions, because the same ideas come up every other day as "new".

Well if not that, what about the other suggestion I made with the military zombies?

Also, what's the deal with calling them 'infected'? Some of them have bullet holes already in them. They're fucking ZOMBIES. 28 days later zombies or no.

i don't think that that is going to happen.Imagine just respawning as a crawler.My god,condemned to be the slowest creature in DayZ,i'd quit immediately.

The thing of the military zombies is fine to me,it could avoid military bases camping and so on.
