suKi 43 Posted August 14, 2012 So I have seen a couple dead bodies around.I have learnt they make a buzzing sound as if flys are around them.I also learnt they make the same sound even though you hide their body.What I don't know is - can bodies decay over time? (be hidden without a player hiding them)if so, what is this time?Completely off-topicIMO the doggest thing in this game is when people kill you without making contact, then hide your body after looting all your stuff.BASTARDS!

Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted August 14, 2012 I think the bodies stay put until buried or the server restarts. Also, they don't decay :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, this has happened to me and it is slightly creepy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vertisce 158 Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) Dead players, ESPECIALLY ones killed by zombies should resurrect into special, super fast NPC zombies with glowing eyes after a certain amount of time. When killed they would have all the same loot on them as they did when the player controlled them and died.That would be sweet.

Hinaru 96 Posted August 14, 2012 They said there's a despawn timer. Don't know about the actual version.. how it works here?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dankine 377 Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) HAHAHAHHACan players drag dead bodies?No, must be alive.Despawn timer seems to be a lil random. Have had bodies gone after five mins (they were being watched, no hiding). Edited August 14, 2012 by Dankine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suKi 43 Posted August 14, 2012 Despawn timer seems to be a lil random. Have had bodies gone after five mins (they were being watched, no hiding).Okay well that is definitely nice to know.Perhaps my body did de-spawn sometime between 0 - 40 minutes..

SteveMac555 37 Posted August 14, 2012 HAHAHAHHACan players drag dead bodies?Only when you're knocked out (e.g. due to low blood or just being hit) you can only inspect, hide and loot dead bodies.I am still haunted to this very day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkrooLoose (DayZ) 143 Posted August 14, 2012 It'd be neat if the bodies came back to life as zombies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brudagon (DayZ) 64 Posted August 14, 2012 My body has lasted all day before, but honestly they need to remove the fly sound when a body is buried. It just confuses people and why would flies still be on a body after it's buried? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sideways 19 Posted August 14, 2012 i don't think they decay... i think your body will only disappear if someone hides it or if an admin restarts the server... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
