Immhotep Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Just bought the game few days ago and been playing for 20 hours+, I noticed that all the zombies are the same which is kinda boring after some time... Maybe an optional game mode which allows some special zombies with special abilities? Mini boss or so on... Extra fast zombie, extra hp zombie, zombie which explodes and causes disease to nearby area, poison spitting zombie, this is when some medicine comes in handy, etc etc... I'm sure it will make things more exiting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fj45 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 NONONONO.... The Devs have clearly stated that there will be no "special zombies" and to implement anything, even in sandbox would be a huge waste of time. I have no idea how you find the game boring but you may want to turn up the zombie settings in sandbox. RyukIsGod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedGunman502 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I can see a mod happening for that, but that's a big no for me, it kind of ruins the style of Project Zomboid for me imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szkeptik Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 OP read this please: Link The devs intend this game to be a more or less accurate representation of the Romero style zombie apocalipse simulation. As such, special Zombie types are out of the question. The only extras that are planned I think are zombies in special gear, like riot police zombies or military zombies with body armor.

Kajin Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I'm entertained by the image of a Smoker dropping into the thread and being killed by Zoey who then drags the corpse by the tongue back to the Left 4 Dead servers where the special zombies belong.

RorekSR Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 This isn't a game ABOUT zombies, nor is it a game about fighting zombies. While zombies are a large part of the game, they are more of an obstacle than the focus. Regardless of how you play Project Zomboid, the first focus is always survival. Whether you forage, farm, or loot, whether you run away from zombies and survivors or face them head-on, none of that matters if you aren't hydrated, fed, and uninfected."Special Infected" would add nothing to this experience, except more fractures to the gameplay and story. It's very likely someone will mod these sort of things in at some point, but if you find the game boring because there aren't enough zombie variations to kill, I say you may be playing the wrong type of game to get your fix of coagulated blood spatter and dismemberment.

King-Salomon Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 what I could think of whould be - after some kind of "armor-feature" is added - Zombies with a biker helmet which are harder to kill with a blunt weapon... (in far far future maybe Policeofficers with a bullet proof west..) and only in VERY VERY short numbers... 0.5 - 1% maybe... (guess it's more a question about ingame armor and the possibility for Zombies to wear it) but other than this I don't think that "Special Zombies" whould be good...

Again, please read the link above. The Commonly Suggested Suggestions post is there for a reason, and this suggestion is pretty common. The devs have stated there will be zombies wearing types of armour (swat, army etc), however they won't be depicted as 'special' zombies, rather simply normal zombies that are somewhat more... padded. They will, to some degree, be mixed in with other zombies (ex. no hordes of SWAT zombies) depending on location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_234 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 The flash game series 'The Last Stand' had an interesting way of doing this without going into mutations. You had zombies with say, a knife or axe sticking out of them, from a failed attempt at taking them out, and they'd create a hazard as they closed in. Or ones without legs that kept you on your toes, as well as zombies of various builds that were resisitant to damage, slower, faster, etc. You don't need to add mutations to give zombies variety. After all, they're just reanimated people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think zombies of different speeds and strengths have already been added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
