Zombie reanimation system

[Snorrsenkel]

Greetings Survivors!

How do you guys think about putting Zombies in a kind of two states?

Let me explain: When you kill a Zombie by weapon, they should be dead for days, weeks.... After that, they should reanimate as state 2 Zombies as bloodless, rotten carcasses. The only way to kill Zombies eternally is to burn them bodys down with fire.

Maybe this is a way to make the migration system obsolete and you can do some new sandbox experiments as well. Like carrying lots of corpses into buildings and wait for the horde to awake again. So you can create your own Zombie-Hotspots, create huge graves or turn a whole City into a (true) Safezone.

Also: May rain wash away the blood on the streets?

I want rain to wash away blood.

But thats about all I agree with senoir.

Smashing there heads which is what happens when you kill them currently, is all it takes.

Just a question: what would happen if you cut the head out of a zombie?

I'm sorry, but that doesn't really go with the lore the devs are following. The zombies are supposed to be your traditional Romero/Max Brooks type and regeneration doesn't really fit into that category.

The rain washing blood has been suggested a few times and it's a sensible suggestion.

And since you're new here, welcome to the forums!! Glad to have you with us!

Just a sidenote, zombies do sometimes "fake die" so that is something.

 

And obsoleting the migration system that is still under development and tuning is uncalled for in my opinion. The system just needs work and that work is being done.
