Graveyard?

[vukster@gmail.com 75]

Where is the graveyard in Dayz? It's a zombie apocalypse game yet I can't find a single graveyard, there are only piles of dead unburied bodies....

but where is the iconic graveyard with hands popping out of the ground!

How freaky would that be, you're walking along in a field and suddenly a flock of hands try to grab you and pull you under!

Good point, this .....

But they're not really that sort of 'crawl out the ground' undead zombies - more like infected zombies from 28 days later.

But a graveyard would be a nice atmospheric location indeed.

i think the zeds/infected of DayZ are more of the "infected by a virus, human" kind of zombies, not the living dead coming out of their graves at night, type.

The"y were cremated.

Nah, I'm half serious. But if you look around, you'll see quite a few bodybags. it's a lot more creepy in my opinion.

They are infected as they were living. They didn't resurrect from the graves. But there are little graveyards in almost every town in Cherna. In the garden of the churches, behind the churches to be exact. Its just a few tomb stones but oh well, better then none lol.

You'll see body bags and burning (smouldering/buried) infected aswell.

their usually alot of body bags by military tents like in Chorno

[Erik (DayZ) 61]

A very good point. Its probably because the map is straight from Arma 2.

[Sticker704 121]

Yeah, the body bags at night, creep me out. :(

Anyway, they're not zombies. They're infected, so they can't come out of the graves.

I would love to have a graveyard addition in the official version of DayZ. Plus atmospheric effects like fog and mist which we already have in the engine.

Plus we already have the grave models from the churches, so it doesn't seem like it would require too much tweaking since all the elements are present in the engine already....

I still vote for hands reaching out of the ground to NAB you!

oh look zombies, better go prone.... oh no I just got my face ripped off by a hand in the ground...

The zombies in the ground are like landmines and invisible and you cannot see them, you have seconds to get away and if you are prone you are in greater danger since they can grab your face off!

In the whole map, there's not ONE cemetery.

Where do they bury everyone?

They just let the bodies drift out to sea... it's an eastern European thing.

To quote Max Brooks and the Zombie Survival guide - "The fact remains that Zombies never have and never will, rise from the grave"

Remember that because of it being more of an infection, people with it won't be buried - more likely to be around the hospitals or any morgues than buried in the ground.
