Faggala 29 Posted August 12, 2012 The noob days when you started playing dayZ there was this unknown and scary/creepy feeling when you were running around in Cherno or Elektro being chased and killed by zombies during the near pitch black night. Now when you play the game theres next to nothing scary or barely an atmosphere surrounding the game mostly worrying about getting shot by other players and zombies just flying through walls and irritating you.I found this video a while ago and I really wish dayZ could obtain this type of terrifying and helpless atmosphere just like in this video. This is also Arma 2 just on an older custom mission. Skip to 1:08 if you're impatient. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CerebralZombie (DayZ) 151 Posted August 12, 2012 I fully understand and agree... At first DayZ was epic, not it's just run n' gun. Or camp n' cap. Looking for fire fights and working in a group. This looks so fun/scary, and the sounds are amazing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CerebralZombie (DayZ) 151 Posted August 12, 2012 Rocket should find these zombie noises and use them. They have a nice echo to them too. One could be used for the bear noise too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CerebralZombie (DayZ) 151 Posted August 12, 2012 Sorry for the multiple posts.And people say there should be no sort of "boss" enemies/zombies... If rocket adds a bear it better need a team to kill, and if you're alone you better have to run or sneak around or you are dead my friend. Maybe make it so the virus affects animals too, or something I dunno but this is so good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faggala 29 Posted August 12, 2012 Yea I really want something to be added that's more powerful than you and you feel really helpless and terrified when you're up against it. Something like an infected bear or zombified saskwatch could do the trick! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Qev 2 Posted August 12, 2012 Something fast, dark, only spawns in forests on moonless nights, and travels in packs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ButtHat 96 Posted August 12, 2012 Couldn't agree more. I was constantly on edge when I first started playing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kalev (DayZ) 14 Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) Well the thing is that you'll get used to anything. No matter how scary something is at first, when you experience it again and again it just gets less scary.But yeah I agree that this mod needs more spice. And you know what would work? A slender man type of a creature that would spawn in big forests. Something that you know it's there and you most likely die if you get it after you.

wolfstriked 143 Posted August 12, 2012 Maybe we go away from infected and go back to undead.Think of the fast running zeds we have now but that take headshots to kill and they become a bit more terrifying.It will have people fear them again and revert back to the feeling one had when you first spawned on the beach.

umishak 3 Posted August 12, 2012 What about wolf packs? And you have to use torch to keep distance from them? That would add to scare factor cause of their 10min lifespan. Also wolves lived in such woods just hundred years ago and some bears to. (Czech rep.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cysquatch 5 Posted August 13, 2012 Agreed. I don't know if we need giant zombie bears but general zombie behavior needs to change to facilitate this kind of experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lights Out 141 Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) That's an epic video and I completely agree, some kind of night time creature deep within the woods would be cool. Having animals that could mess you up as well when hunting would also be a nice touch.It would be cool if Rocket did a monthly update changing the creature. I could see people teaming up in the middle of the night when it's pitch black and trying to hunt this thing down. And it would be cool if Rocket constantly changes this beastly thing bc you don't know what you're walking into if you're trying to encounter it.Or if you randomly encounter it while trying to stay away from it. :PI wouldn't even have it be any type or quest nor do I think there should be any type of loot. Just for the fun of going in the middle of the woods and hunting down this creature you've never seen. You don't even know exactly what you're looking for, Maybe as an incentive, if they do a "safe house/hold out/bunker" type thing that you can build, maybe you can take the creatures head as a trophy lol Edited August 13, 2012 by Lights Out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deviant (DayZ) 43 Posted August 13, 2012 More scary shit would be cool. Like "Hunter" type zombie. Sneaks around more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Honest Bill 37 Posted August 13, 2012 Also, a classic horror film staple, when everything is dark, there is a massive flash of lightning which, just for a second, illuminates everything.Imagine if you were in a dark forest and when a flash of lightning occurred, you saw someone standing there with a hatchet..

GexAlmighty 54 Posted August 13, 2012 yeah the noises definately need to be re worked big time in DayZ so that it genuinely sounds unknown and disturbing like this rather than sounding like Velociraptors (seriously, go watch Jurassic park and then play DayZ, you will see what i mean.) they should take note of the headcrab zombies in half life, the cries and sounds they make are shady as hell.Wild dogs are comming in the next update apparently, which is cool. Bears should come in at some point if rocket decides to get on and make them and i think there should totally be zombie bears that have a 5% chance of spawning instead of a normal bear.
