I wanted to point out that it is too obvious to the player when you are infected from a zombie scratch or bite.

 

When you are not infected from a scratch, you notice right away because:

1. You are not gradually losing health

2. Your character does not become anxious 

 

My suggestion is that a scratch or bite should be less immediately obvious and should be more of a mysterious outcome until one is sure that they are not infected. Whenever one gets scratched or bitten, they should become anxious regardless if they are infected or not.

Pretty sure you can tell the difference between dieing and your arm hurting.

While you should be anxious whenever your injured in general, considering you'd be paranoid it won't heal, or it will cause problems for you in a dire situation etc.

Your initial reasoning isn't very sound >_>

You wouldn't be able to tell if you're infected from a scratch or not right from the onset since you should be losing health from it anyway. It should take a few hours before you realize you're infected since you start to get sick.

Actually not hours but mostly minutes the reason is becasue in real life when you get scratched the first thing that comes in your head is use medic and then wonder if its infected ( but we should do the opposite ) xD

I actually don't have a problem with the scratches currently.

 

I feel like it already does take a number of hours to determine if you are infected or not from it. I do not notice any immediate health loss, other than the damage from being hit by the zombie in the first place. For me it stays stable after that and I only get worried when that anxious moodle pops up a number of hours later.

So how would bites be effected by this

Same way but bites have a much higher chance of killing you anyway.

It's not like that when i get infected from a scratch though. That's why i'm complaining about it being too obvious.

Sorry if I sound rude.
