Players Turn Into Zombies

[Jofi (DayZ) 0]

Hello, first off I don't own this game yet, still waiting it goes on sale and yea I know its currently 15$ on Amazon but that's only for US people. So I don't know much about this game yet but I'm watching videos & live stream, damn this mod looks good.

Anyway about my suggestion I think it would be nice if players who die would turn into a zombie, I mean they wouldn't continue playing as zombie there would just spawn a new zombie (maybe with that player skin and items on). This would also make other players think do they really want to shoot someone and then get attacked by angry zombie especially if you don't have much ammo.. :D

Also if you move with a group and one of your friends get shot you would need to end him before he's turning into a zombie :P

It could be also like not every player turns into zombie only those who are infected or something.. Imagine you shoot someone, then walk towards his body going to steal some loot and suddenly he wakes up as zombie and bites you, hehe..

I like the idea of it spawning a zombie where the player died, but it would make PKing a hundred times worse because you literally would have no idea if a player was a person or a zombie; therefore, you would immediately shoot them.

I think it's best kept to a survival game. This just opens up a new mechanic that would detract time spent working towards more improved survival mechanics - Personally.

The zombies aren't dead so this would not work.

There might be potential for an infection mechanic however. Each time you get attacked by a zombie you have a chance of becoming infected with the virus. Over time your temperature increases, especially with exertion, and if it reaches a critical level you "die" and become a zed, game over, start again. You could avoid it if you could find and take some rare anti-virals in time. Might make zombies a little more dangerous, which might be a good thing, or they might need nerfing in some other way to make up for it.

No.

That is simply it. Don't mean to be rude, but its a terrible idea. I should just go play L4D. The fact that zeds and all AI controlled is what makes this. 50 people in a server is few enough. I could days without seeing someone. Then stack on there that half the people are damn zombies. I would stop playing because I already own so many games similar to that.
