SuperJosh 1 Posted July 17, 2012 I suggest that zombies shouldn't be able to climb latters. Zombies should only focus on eating you and if zombies are pure instinct (minus intelligence) how the hell can they use the thought process involved in climbing a latter? Just a thought devs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plummerdrummer 10 Posted July 17, 2012 well it has been said over and over that they aren't in fact zombies, but it's more of a mind altering sickness... unless something has recently changed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlaBlaSoldier 16 Posted July 17, 2012 Actually Those "Zombies" are just some junkies who did consume Cloud Nine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
copper2010 6 Posted July 17, 2012 well it has been said over and over that they aren't in fact zombies, but it's more of a mind altering sickness... unless something has recently changed?A zombie is a term for those kind of people. I kinda agree with the guy about ladders, I mean....getting eaten alive is not exactly good for your bone structure. Don't worry though, that is why there is alpha.

Deviant (DayZ) 43 Posted July 17, 2012 Do not think of Zombies as lumbering "Walking Dead" that you see in old thriller movies."Infected" are humans who are infected (obvs) with a parasite/virus/illness that causes them to become violent and aggressive.Wouldn't that be boring to have zombies not climb ladders? it's like instant safety :\ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ActionManZlt 160 Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Did you read the rest of the website, such as the very first paragraph of text? :huh: :rolleyes: ...hit by a new and presently unknown infection which has wiped out most of the world's population. You are one of the few who have survived and now you must search this new wasteland in order to fight for your life against what is left of the indigenous population, now infected with the diseaseThey're "infected" AND "zombies"... why is this a problem?In the zombie genre there's two main clichéd causes: an infection that either animates the dead or causes the living to become enraged, or supernatural powers raising the dead. DayZ is based on the first cliché: some kind of infection (not specified whether they're enraged living, or animated dead -- it doesn't matter).IMO, it should take them a while to figure the ladder out -- they mill around the bottom for a minute trying it out, and have a chance to fall off as they climb ^_^ Edited July 17, 2012 by ActionMan 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Womb Raider 92 Posted July 17, 2012 Yeah, as the developers intended for zombies to climb ladders and it's obviously not a limitation of putting zombies into Arma 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TJMaxed 8 Posted July 17, 2012 they are infected humans that we know as zombies in general. and the whole ladders thing, well i think zombies need to step it up if they are starting to be seem less dangerous. I say let them climb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thorgold 91 Posted July 17, 2012 ladders are to zombies as stairs are to daleks?Not feelin' it.http://api.ning.com/...ofwlFD8G/21.jpghttp://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f216/IMVU_Kursk/DalekRising.jpgEL-E-VATEBut yeah, no. Zombies aren't "zombies," as in the living dead. They're infected "rage zombies." They're quite literally what the misguided news reports in Romero films say - people infected by a virus who turn to psychopathic behavior and cannibalism. It's just that, with Rage victims, the victim turns so fast there's no "feasting" besides the first bite. We survivors are just the immune carriers. The infected still retain basic intelligence, if it is clouded by bloodlust and hunter instinct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ampoliros 43 Posted July 17, 2012 If anything, Infected should have better climbing skills.The Roof should be safe, but only for a while.My entire purpose for this is to make the roof no longer safe as a camping area for griefers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeM27 4 Posted July 17, 2012 I mean look at Left 4 Dead...They are like Hussein Bolt. They can climb and do basically anything, maybe this 'infection' that is happening actually makes you better. Kinda like an airborne steroid haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0only1 4 Posted July 17, 2012 What about zombies teleporting on top of the ladder, which is so lame and unpredictable and sadly happens many times... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fundan@gmx.de 82 Posted July 17, 2012 The only consequence of this would be - even more players that do not understand the game can be shot on roofs easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack_D 3 Posted August 24, 2012 well if they are not zombies,move like drunk five year olds and they communicate thru grunts and what not. And still they climb a ladder like a squirl up a tree.I´ve had it whit these fucking things climbing fucking ladders. This get really frustrating when the zed is stuck under a deer stand teleports out bihinde you and then you have nowhere to go but up and die. I will admit it, I shot down the first one. Whom alone needed 5 bullets from an revolver to the chest but I gave up and put 1 to the head,my last bullet then it was dead atlast. When I heard the next one flying up the ladder I rage quited since a fucking second ago none had been near at all.This suggestion has my support Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfstriked 143 Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) Are you freaking kidding me??I aggored a ton of zeds and ran to a powerplant and up a ladder.When I turned and saw the zeds climbing up after me I cheered aloud!!! Was so fucking kool to see that IMO.And for me I believe the infected are humans that have a part of their brain that controls intelligence destroyed by the virus.This means they become more like monkeys or even primitive man with inability to use man made items but retain the monkey ability to climb. ;)Also,there are many reports of bacteria or insects that invade an animals brain and actually control the animal.Studies show that gut bacteria can have profound effects on lab animals changing their behaviors so much.Things like a rat being a rat and staying in pipes from fear of being in open spaces.....give them a certain bacteria in their food and suddenly they are running around outside with little fear.
