Suggestion talk:20071014 No Suicide for Zombies
From The Urban Dead Wiki
#Abstain - "If a zombie falls from the building, and no one is around to hear it, does it still make a noise?" I was originally going to vote keep on this, as I think it is stupid that a zombie can commit suicide (they are already dead). Then I was going to vote kill, as with this suggestion, a group of survivors could grief a zombie player by perpetually killing it while keeping 'cades up. Thus, with this suggestion, the zombie player would never be able to leave. Ultimately I can't decide between either justification, and so I'll just leave this here for others to ponder... or perhaps sway my vote --Ryiis 19:27, 15 October 2007 (BST) see main suggestion page for vote choice Ryiis 15:10, 16 October 2007 (BST)
Question
Since I can't find the answer and those discussing this are most likely to know, may I ask is Zombie suicide pointless? If a wounded Zed dies and then stands up, will it not then have full HP? And wouln't be able to do this deliberately give a tactical advantage in some cases, such as before a planned attack? --Richardhg 05:16, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
- A zombie suicide could be useful, but as it currently does nothing (other than moving you outside the building) and my previous attempts at making it do something failed, I decided to suggest removing it completely. --Midianian|T|T:S|C:RCS| 10:45, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
- It does do something, it allows a zombie to exit a building into the block outdoors when the building is barricaded (Sure you could hop to a neighbouring block and back but that costs an extra ap). It is also a RP tool. Your suggestion ignores these valuable parts of an existing mechanic. --The Grimch U! E! WAT! 10:49, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
- One AP isn't that important. And if it is, you can wait for half an hour. I tried to make it more of an RP tool by giving it an actual effect, but it failed.
- Just because the mechanic's already in the game doesn't mean that it should be given any looser treatment than new mechanics. Would you vote Keep on a suggestion that gave zombies the ability to jump from a tall building that had absolutely no effects other than landing him outside? I certainly wouldn't. I would Spam it for not making any kind of sense. --Midianian|T|T:S|C:RCS| 11:36, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
