Zombie Speed

[Igor (DayZ) 96]

All the zombies are in the Olympics. I promise you, you will see them in the Olympics competing tomorrow.

if i had a dime for every time someone said zombie speed should be tweaked...

I wouldn't consider crawling zombies; they're a subtype. They can be either or, depending on why they're crawling. As for the zombies in-game muttering human words - I've never heard it. I've heard them make human noises, but that's an issue with DayZ/ArmA II bugs, as far as I know.

Idk, I've heard them make human noises before, but those are clearly from Arma itself, like the noise when they get shot or whenever. But I'm talking about when they're not aggroed and are just shambling around, if you listen, they'll mumble "words" or more precisely, "word" and it's very difficult to tell what the word is, but it's unmistakeably a word, it's not a grunt or anything. Mind you it's like a 1 in 50 chance to hear it, it doesn't happen often.

Zombies have one speed. Shamble. slow moving, increase numbers.

Why not two types.

The slow and fast. You never know which ones are fast or slow. So it's random.

In theory a zombie should be slow. They are dead... But making them slow would be boring. Running past them and run circles around them without them touching you.

With limited ammunition and increased numbers it'd not be boring and easy.

Also would be interesting if one hit would infect you, and within one hour it'd turn you/you'd die if you can't find something antidote, or simply one hit would kill you, not by touching them, but if they can bite you. Also there could be a struggle option fighting against the bite.

It would not be boring if they upped the numbers of zombies to say 20 or 30 times what they are. Think about it. It is to be you and 100 other people left alive over like 40,0000 or so people . We see 200, maybe 300 zombies at the most .. Just think about 30,000 zombies .. Slow or fast would be real scary ..

Dob, fix your sig, it's driving me nuts lol. "Loses" and "wiener".

[Jello Jaw 11]

If anything it could be turned up a little bit. Zombies have no limit to fatigue and should be able to run as fast as the human body can allow them too. I would like the zombie to run faster. They're not even a threat. An increased speed boost would actually make the game a little more challenging.

Why is it EVERY DAMN THREAD I find talking about zombie speed and health, everyone assumes that they're dead, the damn lore stated clearly on the site says:

Welcome to Chenarus. A 225 km2 open world post-soviet state and one of the areas 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 disease.

You people need to think, there's no reason these INFECTED people should not be capable of running as fast or faster than you.

QUOTED FOR GREAT JUSTICE!

It could be possible that this infection is some sort of "zombaids" so the body is in fact destroying itself, without being dead :P

^^ exactly what he said. They're not dead. They're infected.

Not the guy above me, the next.

Zeds should have stamina though.
