    With all this Zombie talk...

    With the announcement of The Day Before and the Resident Evil apparel event, there is a lot of chatter about Zombies in The Division. Of course you are going to get your chorus of nay-sayers going on about;

    "Zombies have NO place in a Tom Clancy game. Hurrrmph, I say!"

    OK then nay-sayers, explain the "Reanimated" event currently in Season 4?

    Isn't a reanimated corpse by definition a Zombie?

    No. Zombies are mindless creatures that walk around making stupid sounds. Reanimated, they still shoot at you and run around and take cover etc etc. That's also like saying when you use a reviver hive, your a zombie when you really aren't. Same goes for the ads that use a healer on the other dead ads.

    That it should it should not be in game?

    What kind of question is that? Do you expect people to tell you "well, since Massive did this, I guess it is OK to have zombies in Tom Clancy games" ?

    The re-animated event, although crossing some of the lines, is nothing like zombies, dragons, elves, ghosts or mermaids.

    I used to hate zombies, but over the years I grew to like the idea of them. I enjoyed the Walking Dead on TV, and the Last of Us is my favorite game story of all time. Yet, I know it's the last thing I want to see in the Division IP. There's hardly anything more game breaking for me then adding zombies to the Division.

    I dunno, zombie content sounds 1000 times better than no content which is where we currently stand!!

    Congrats you cracked the code that reanimated event was a play by the devs to create a fake "zombie" scenario in a fun gimmicky way without having to re-arrange the entire game to have actual zombies...just like people said in previous threads last week. You already had your zombies in a global event that tried to be "lore friendly" without go full resident evil isn't that enough? or you want devs to haphazardly to rework the entire game to be just about zombies out of the sudden and totally not be a big rushed mess like every time they tried to works something ultra fast into the whims of the community without planning?
