GodWaffle Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Hey, So I was reading a thread and I came across someone mentioning the old zombie hallucinations which used to happen in older builds, I was wondering if the developers plan on re-adding this?For those who don't know, basically when you were infected by a zombie, during the late stages of your sickness you would start seeing/hearing zombies that weren't there. It was a really scary feature, I remember I would be in my house in the dark, and walking down the corridor I'd just see movement in the room as I walked past, seeing the outline of a zombie shambling towards me (which vanished out of my field of vision as I was walking past), so of course I turned to fight it only to notice it wasn't really there. This was an amazing feature, and should be reimplemented maybe as a form of insanity? This could be great if you start seeing things that NPC's and other players can't see, it would really drive the mental implications of a zombie apocalypse as a game feature. Thanks,-GodWaffle unsaved_progress 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syfy Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 would certainly be interesting the first few times it happened, but somehow i think it would get annoying. (why not just bump the thread you were reading?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsaved_progress Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I think i saw this original post too sfy, it was contained in something unrelated so i think OP has extrapolated the bit he wanted to talk about in a fresh arena (possibly) Anyway, me personally, i think its a cool idea. anything that adds a bit of weirdness like that. i even like the idea of having a nightmare where zombies are attacking your barricades and it all seems futile, all your items have turned to spiffo and bleach, you think the game is glitching out or something, you get bitten and then boom, you wake up. I would love that. But i could totally see it getting annoying if overdone. So yes, I'm all for adding back in hallucination Zeke. And anything that topples out of from that idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodWaffle Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Yeah I think that if it was use sparingly so that it really creeps you out, then it would be amazing. I could imagine maybe things like hearing a window smashing downstairs and heading down to find that everything is ok would also be pretty creepy. Hallucinations could also work for NPC's, say you happen to glimpse a guy with a shotgun pointed at you from the side of your vision, look back and he's gone. unsaved_progress 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daec Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 it should be in tight relation to the mental health system...so it wouldn't really affect "sane" people and therefore wouldn't seem to be overused.would fit to the "paranoid" perk someone mentioned in another post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikashey Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I'd rather that you hallucinate zombies when you're Exhausted or Anxious. When I stay up for more than 24 hours the paintings on my wall start moving when I'm not looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
