New Drama Idea, Player Infection

[xXxSlyWolfxXx 6]

Seeing how this game adds a lot to the player in making them break, become reckless, do whatever it takes to survive and pushing their will to the max.. especially with trusting other unknown players. I think something to add to their trust is the possibility of a player dying of infection and their character turning into a zombie.. not saying they have to play the zombie. But just that when they die and restart their body is an added zombie. And maybe add small subtle signs to show their infection, and maybe scattered cures or certain antibiotics that will prolong their zombifacation till they find a cure or something. If none, not even the player who is infected realizes it.. everyone could be in danger >=). Or maybe the player is just too afraid to believe or tell others he is infected. It can add for some nice realisim and drama. Just an idea!

At this point in the Mod, it would be just pointless fustration.

>Temp drops below 35

>Gets hit by zombie

>Chance to get infected

>Character starts to cough

>Blood starts to drop

>Only cure if Antibiotics, found in game.

Is this thread serious?

Could be a future update, not saying it has to be done NOW.

I thought about the same thing but really what would it change? Would people distrust people more? Would these knew "zombie players" pose a different threat? We already can die of blood loss, starving, thirst, and sickness. Infection of a Zombie nature makes sense in this game though and may come into play later.

It's a VERY interesting idea with too much potential with a mod like this to completely discard it..

Pretty sure Rocket said we will never be playing as Zombies. Now he may change his mind if he manages to transition to standalone, but as a mod, this is extremely unlikely to ever happen.
