Delayed flies

[bad_mojo (DayZ) 1204]

I don't like how the instant someone dies there are swarms of flies on the body. I play on an expert server with the kill messages & counters disabled, but the flies still give you that artificial confirmation that the player is dead.

I suggest the flies not be present until 5 minutes after the player has died, and they start off quiet and get louder and louder the longer the body sits. If that isn't possible, I wouldn't mind no flies at all, they're nice for noticing bodies you walk by, but other than that they're just annoying and break immersion. I think we can all agree that flies don't swarm the instant someone dies in real life, so why in DayZ?

It would also benefit the mod to make the flies go away when you hide the body. It's annoying to sit there and listen to flies for hours.

I second this suggestion.

If the flies were removed entirely, the check pulse option could be added to dead bodies and then it might actually have a purpose.
