Rare Infected encounters

[Abedin_O]

Maybe it’s me but maybe the infected is a little dull? Sure they run fast and in numbers can be very deadly but imagine running into a extremely rare type of infected that just having Come across such an impossible creature would make a group tremble at the sight and ferocity it shows. Stronger and harder to kill is why I’ve been looking into a Dayz monsters and Stalker monsters can provide quite a few but it’s a bit out of lore with Dayzrp. Then the Bloodsucker of Namalsk- a well known legend in the dayz community. Invisible to you’re eyes but the sound of it’s screaming is all you need to turn white from horror. If it comes close to you, might as well consider yourself dead. I just think it would be awesome to bring back a little horror to the server and add in some group missions/stories like “The monster in he woods.” “IT Lives in the castle.”

Necromorphs in DayZRP? Yeah fuck that, I still get nightmares sometimes. Although, seriously, I get what you mean. I'd wager it's because of the 'realistic' way the Virus itself is done that there's not really any real 'special' infected. I suppose there are ways it could be done but it'd be less mutation oriented and more like someone intentionally mutilating a zombie for a specific purpose.

Dead space still haunts me.

but that’s what I love about the RP aspect in this server. What’s to stop a player from forming a group of mad scientists and creating (Don’t mean to ripoff resident evil.) the first B.O.W (Bio organic weapon.) it doesn’t even have to be something crazy maybe like a zombie dog- Zombies ingame attack the animals all the time so wouldn’t it make sense to throw in a zombie bear, wolf/dog?

I would fucking love this as an event, imagine the first group to tag the fucking monster? Or even better make it unkillable and have that tiny sliver of the map be a danger to anybody who steps foot in it!

[Duplessis]

I like it... very interesting...

[TheBishop]

Yes. Fuck yes. We need more PVE type things. Imagine being in a camp when all of a sudden a fucking big ass infected comes in. The entire camp bands together to kill this thing. Maybe make a lore event that created these creatures. And even make a group based around the hunting and killing of these special infected. I’d be down to turn a blind eye to realism for this.

I stumbled on this one, seems like alot of fun! 

[Abedin_O]

Just imagine this- I’m from section 20 we get a task to recon a rundown laboratory. Corporation insignia is displayed on a titanium gate with what seems like dents created by something massive on the inside. (Mistake number 1) we manage to lift up the titanium gate and turn on the emergency power to the facility. Loads of blood stains can be seen trailed around the white marble walls and floors. The unit moves in and explores deeper into the facility until some infected swipe around the corner smashing against the wall as if something threw them. (Mistake number 2) we stay, hold our ground and send two men to investigate the hallway. (Mistake number 3) screaming can be heard then gunshots ensue (fast forward time) a survivor makes his way to Nadbor and in the care of Kings ridge and as he gets asked what happened- a loud Roar can be heard by the whole country side catching the attention of every survivor on the server.

 

nice events like this can be a great example of terror RP. Can also have many groups work together and try some Eliminate the Threat together kind of RP.

[Jackfish]

This shit is dope, add pls.

[TheMcgregor]

Yes yes yes! But if adding stronger infected you should nerf regular ones!

The infection lore i wrote doesn't allow for this kind of mutation or transmission to anything other than things in the Ape line, which includes humans. It doesn't really effect dogs or wolves, nor birds or pigs. They don't become infected, they just become carriers.

Maybe with a lore wipe tho?

Corona be jumping from bats and pangolins and shit mane, what if like it did mutate. Or maybe like some mad scientist genetically altered the virus and shit and now we got some crazy zombie bears or some nightmare creatures and shit. You know what I’m saying? I volunteer to be the mad scientist.

You'd have to speak with current lore masters. I'm just a community member now.

I swear if I was just running around in DayZ and a damn Necromorph jumped out at me from some bushes I would go into cardiac arrest instantly.

But all in all I Would LOVE to see some types of unique or special infected around the map. Things like hazmat guys, riot cops, and the like that have something special about them.
Right now we have a neat little variety as far as visuals go, with all the different clothes infected can be see wearing but nothing really changes between them, theyre all the exact same just with different clothes.

The idea of infected animals sounds really nice, because it would make hunting for even stuff like deer and pigs dangerous. I dont think we could do that though, with the lack of animation tools to my knowledge.
Although, if someone did find a way to import Necromorphs into DayZ with their full animations then I would 100% support it if we did a lore wipe or our lore masters could come up with some sort of explanation. The infected we have now are just boring and the only fear I have with them is that im going to start lagging near them.
 

Little mini-events like you mentioned would be badass too.

OMG I'd piss myself if I saw that! We totally need to add this. Walls and towers won't be s*** if one of those things can climb up or jump over! 

[Noble]

We'd have to completely rewrite the lore for this to be possible and tbh seems like just another damn hassle. We already got some annoying ass zombies as it is.

Yeah, but the fact that theyre only annoying is part of the problem. Theres no fear to them.

[Abedin_O]

Again this is to bring back a sort of Terror and that feeling of uncertainty when venturing the lands ridden in infectious diseases and freaks of nature. I’m loving all the responses- glad to know a lot of people had the same idea!

If you know of any good mods that would add a bit more horror to the server, or you know how to/are willing to learn how to model creatures then id suggest making Suggestions post in the corresponding section of the forums. Id love to see some scary stuff in the server as much as you do but I dont think we have stuff like that on hand at the moment. 

[Abedin_O]

Of course that’s the whole reason behind this. I have the imagination for it but the knowledge on mods possessing such a genre is pretty tough to find without them being stalker related or extremely fantasized like demons. I’ll make a list of mods and do a suggestion and hopefully it’ll get accepted but it would be awesome to see what other mods people found in relation to the topic at hand.

Add a poll my man, along with some mod pages as a suggestion would be ideal. Not just screenshots of a single unique infected, no matter how cool it may be.
Even better to make another post in Suggestions.  That is if you want this to actually go anywhere.

I agree with the concept though, make PvE actually threatening, not just an nuisance. Put the Z back in DayZ.

Yea I’ll do that once I find some really good ones. 

[Revie]

I fully agree that it would be nice to have different types of infected or even infected wildlife and all, but I do not really like the suggested mods. 

We already had mods like GoreZ and the Toxic Zone in the server and they have been removed again, I think because of performance issues (not sure though). Therefore I doubt they will be readded, even though I really liked the concept of it. I would actually wish that the DayZ devs themselves would finally add in places which can't be accessed without proper clothing or the fact that you can follow a blood trail. 

Hordes... would be nice, but won't work right now. Even spawning hordes of the normal already existing infected, causes the performance to drop or the server to crash. Otherwise I' sure we would have had already some spawned hordes here and there. Here as well I hope it will work one day.

And wildlife... I would love to have infected wildlife yes. BUT, then I would want them to be added with unique behavior and AI, instead of just adding some reskins which behave the same way as the normal once. 

So yeah... with the current state of DayZ, I don't really see this happening so soon... sadly

[KobraKidd]

Tbh, I like the idea of more infected types. I personally would like to see some "special" infected, but I'd also be perfectly fine with diversity.
If there was anyway to make the zombies in this mod spawn with vanilla infected, rather than re-skinning them would be great. It'd just add that slight touch of creepiness without changing the lore.

Both of these were on the server before and were removed because they caused issues or weren't working properly sadly.
