Zombies

[Thraz]

IMO all apocalypse games should have zombies. Why? Because it would make it that much more challenging. Players that play this game to craft and build would usually hide in their village where its safe to do their work, but with zombies they'll have to craft and build while watching their backs against npc zombies. It'll also force them into joining or building a tribe.

Zombies should be spread all over the zones sometimes solo and sometimes in mobs they attack the wild life and any player in their LoS. At night a mob of zombies should be attacking tribes and you must hold them off or they will destroy your buildings and other goods.

I hope not, the idea has been milked so much with apocalypse settings.

[FPrime]

From the feature list:


Creatures

Xsyon is populated with player humans and non player undead, animals and mutants. Creatures can be hunted or become the hunter.

No set creature spawns or re-spawns. Animals multiply based on the current creature population. Undead never truly die, or do they?
Creatures gain experience and power, potentially evolving into legendary beings.
Creatures can overrun areas or be depleted.
Creatures gravitate towards different areas based on mood and weather.
Creatures driven to the outer reaches of the world mutate.
Creatures possess realistic loot. If you see armor or a weapon on a creature you can take it. Animals can be carved up for raw materials.
Creatures are a primary resource for crafters.


You can see images of them in some of the old screenshots in the gallery too. :)

I just saw the zombie screenshot hopefully they'll be in the game on live :\

[naters4lad]

They're supposed to have some sort of non player undead as FPrime pointed out but I'm hoping they won't be that common. Besides, even if we did have to "hold them off" during the day one would have to hope their tribe has enough members online during the night or day consistently to hold off the "horde" advance.

Maybe these "zombies" are in the mist as the mist might be bringing the dead back to life! Very much so like the T-Virus :D

[redrazor]

Zombies will be in-game as they are in a LOT of screenshots. Just check the Gallery

I'm not lurking.. I am actively posting relevant information. I think the game would highly benifit from having a non animal mob to hunt and kill that would drop other items besides
skin and bones.. perhaps clothing or weapons or maybe a trinket that isn't avalable to be made in game as a super rare or something to that effect.

I am in irc most days talking to devs and still sharing my ideas.

I really appreciate your responces though Xerbifaill.. I feel so loved. You have managed to respond to over 90% of every post I have made. I am glad I have that much influence over your forums contributions.

[xyberviri]

yes because of the 10-15 active threads you managed to not post on how many?

Also the minute you remove the "players make everything" label to the "players make 99% of everything, but that 1% is allot better than what you can make" you really start to loose that whole crafting aspect of the game. the pre order weapons throw that out the window and hopefully there will be some type of master created weapons that are on the same par as they are.

Ye...your first post of "If this game had zombies on I would have an active sub" was really relevant. Cause everyone on here was really wondering why you hadn't resubbed, dammit stick to your words you damn hypocrite.

[coca]

It is relevant becuase I quit of sheer boredom... and several others had too.
I prefer combat.. pvp over anything else.. pve would be nice but got to have a reason to fight something... no one cares about bragging you killed an NPC.. lol.. especially a bear or a deer... come'on man.

And several people do miss me... *sniff*

I agree with OP : bring the fun, have zombies !

it's just fun to build defence lines, craft stuff to really survive against a threat (so minimal can it be). And just believe in Notorious Game designer to have something balanced for small communities.

[coca]

I will resub 4 zombies ! YAR

[jemmus]

Would prefer a chupacabra, a sasquatch, and maybe that moth man they see in West Virginia. I mean, zombies are just unrealistic imaginary/fantasy creatures.... ;p

[fotuenti]

compromise, zombie sasquatch?

[jemmus]

::Trying to visualize that:: Actually that could be pretty cool : )

Oh great another forum regular playing pretend mod.

ummmm not really? he kinda has a point

Added after 26 minutes:

wow this thread blew up fast, and zombies are kinda relevent since xsyon is based on post-apocolypse.

though the idea is over used it would deffinitly be awsome to have zombies that acctuly come into your tribes unlike bears where you have to run 5 zones over just to see one.

[Creator]

If rumors are true and there are zombies coming... I have demands to be made!

Working gates! If my demands are not met before the zombies rise I will start skinning puppies in zone 861!

There will be no mercy! So remember devs... "Make the gate and save the puppy!" or else...

P.S. I will be opening a lemonade stand, and my self flavored "Barter Water" will be available for only 10 nails a gallon.

It seems the Center for Disease Control has taken notice...

1. WTF, I seriously want to play the game that is in those pictures !!!!
2. when can i have an old car seat to place near the camp fire :)

[dezgard]

Soon (strokes a bearcat)

[Azurfale]

I see a lot of zombie talk but wouldn't humanoid mutants (the people that didn't escape the mist) make more sense with the theme? Or even military personel that were searching for survivors and got caught in the mist?
