20090430 Zombie Fake Death

Dr Feilder 16:00, 30 April 2009 (BST)

Suggestion type
Skill.

Suggestion scope
Zombie skill.

Suggestion description
A zombie skill which can be purchased for the standard 100XP. With this skill a zombie will be able to "fake death" and appear as a body to other zombies and survivors. This will cost 1 AP to do and 4-5 AP to stand up again (1-3 for those with ankle grab), thus being a slight advantage over being killed in the standard way, and a major advantage in the risk against being killed with a headshot. However, it will not be possible to use the "fake death" with survivors (and perhaps other zombies) being present in the sqaure. This will prevent it being used to actively escape from attack. Instead the zombie must be alone or survivors will be able to notice the "fake death" and prevent it. This makes it more of a defensive precaution, the downside being that they have wasted 5-6 AP if it turned out they weren't in danger of being killed. Fake death will not restore hit points.

Keep Votes

1. Keep/Discussion - I don't see why there has to be a counter skill survivors should get, survivors already have a tonne of advantages over zombies. They can extremely heavily barricade themselves and jump to another safe building using 1AP if theirs gets attacked. It just doesn't seem fair is all and that's coming from someone who plays as a survivor. But yea, sorry I didn't realise this had been suggested before. Chalk it up to laziness on my part. (I'm writing this here more to add a little input of my feelings). Dr Feilder 20:14, 30 April 2009 (BST)

1. Dupe - Dupe of this --Johnny Bass 16:22, 30 April 2009 (BST)
2. Dupe - I was previously looking for a dupe but Johnny found it for me. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 17:24, 30 April 2009 (BST)
3. Dupe/Spam - A realistic, sensible idea that would prove positively disastrous in game terms. Might've been okay if you'd made them just appear as bodies while being actually targetable on a players attack dropdown menu, which would've given away the ruse to anyone who bothers to look at no AP cost, but not like this.--Necrofeelinya 18:46, 30 April 2009 (BST)
4. dupe/spam - Dupe as linked to. Spam because it's rather pointless... and doesn't fit the way zombies actually think and behave. --WanYao 20:20, 30 April 2009 (BST)
5. Spam - As above. Also, no ninja-zombies. --Private Mark 21:01, 30 April 2009 (BST)
6. Spam - No ninja-zombies. --Pestolence^(talk) 21:11, 30 April 2009 (BST)
7. Spam - As above. --Midianian^{¦T¦DS¦SP¦} 21:14, 30 April 2009 (BST)
8. Spam - As above. --Orange Talk 22:25, 30 April 2009 (BST)
9. Dupe/Spam - Johnny is right, this is a copy of another idea, and its essentially standing up again, exept with a reduced AP cost --Obamacain 22:42, 30 April 2009 (BST)
10. This thing has been duped to oblivion. Can we move it now, please? So others won't have to suffer through this? --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} (status:‎Mudkip!) 00:43, 1 May 2009 (BST)
