Talk:Houldenbank Barricade Plan

Comments Regarding the Barricade Plan

I'd only suggest that the necrotech in the north which forms an island with the neighbouring building be at EHB, and the building next to it at VS+2. Other than that, fine/I don't care. TTHSK 13:41, 13 July 2006 (BST)

• Hm, I see, that's your closest syringe supply.... The problem is, that means making one of the other NTs VSB+2. One's already designated as a rotter revive clinic (Greatorex), and the one next to it needs to be EHB so there's a secure needle source for the Rotters Relief people. This leaves Owsley and Tribe, and, well... Owsley's in the middle of the suburb, which is already at risk since Solomon's a constant target. How's this - we leave Tribe VS and the adjacent building EH, but we'll designate some people to help maintain the barricades there? If that doesn't work, contact us on our forum and we can work something else out. -- Iluliaq 19 July 2006

Shouldn't the Police Department be EH unless danger status is Green? It's the only source of ammo inside the suburb and a death trap for newbies. You should agree Houldenbank isn't the most friendly place for unskilled military soldiers. -- Doc Groucho 15:51, 25 October 2006 (BST)

Overbarricading Issues

Houldenbank appears to have severe overbarricading issues. While in search of a safe-house today I was infected and died while trying to enter the two hospitals in southern Houldenbank. Both were over-barricaded. I ended up dead in front of Lucius General and didn't see a single building as VS or below despite passing several that should have been, including a police station and an NT building. -- Blueminneapolis 19:37, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

This is still a problem more than three months later. I had 17 health and made a run for the Richard General under pursuit and nearly died. I'm now holed up in an unlit building hoping not to encounter a zed with Scent Fear.

If you're going to make a policy, maintain it! It's all but impossible for new players to get anywhere if you don't spawn in a green zone!
