Ability to Play as a Zed.

Recommended Posts

Somewhat ... weird. I possibly could see this in a future version, but then again, enjoy dying, I guess. You could be a somewhat more clever one as player, but would (have to be) limited to the same damage values.

I don't like the idea for 2 reasons:

1) That would be mean a lot more development, and I don't see how it would be very fun (if it were to have added aspects to player zombies being more capable than AI zombies, that would be A LOT more development). As well, I don't see how it would fit into being a survival game. The only aspect would be to feed on other players... that's only one compared to the aspects a survivor needs.

2) People have guns. After doing a lot of research, I've found that zombies don't. You would have to remove a lot of realism from the specific realm of zombies that DayZ is targeting in order to balance this (there are many different zombies theories/mythologies and DayZ is targetting the super fast/weak/mindless one)... unless you could really muster up a group of 30 people who are also zombies to take on a team of 4 survivors.

I like this idea to an extent, maybe like a revenge feature where you can come back to life for 5 minutes as a zombie if you had been killed by another player.

I got the idea from this thread:

http://dayzmod.com/f...zombies-harder/

When you're creating your character at the beginning, it would be cool to have an option to play as a zombie. And when you die, there could be an option to either become a zed or respawn. What do you guys think?

not just zombie, SUPER ZOMBIES
