New General and Zombie Skill – Rapid Recovery

Timestamp: sid1138 20:15, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Type: Skill
Scope: Both Human and Zombie Players
Description: This is another skill that would allow players to tweak AP’s slightly. This could be a cross-class skill (that works for both Zombies and Humans) but I prefer it to be separate skills - one for Zombies, one for Humans. This skill would allow the player to regain AP faster than normal players. Four times a day (at midnight, 6:00, 12:00, 18:00) players with this skill would get 2AP instead of 1 AP.

Players would still be limited to a maximum of 50 AP (that is, if they did nothing for 3 days, they still would only have 50 AP). However, in a 24 hour period they would get 52 AP instead of the standard 48 AP (if they use at least 2 AP in that 24 hour timeframe).

While this gives players with this skill a small amount of extra AP, it is spread across 24 hours and does not increase a persons maximum available for a single session.

#Author Keep- Gives another skill to spend those XP on without really changing the balance. Both sides in the war can benefit from the same type of skill -- sid1138 20:25, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

  1. Unlike your previous skill I have to vote against. Your last skill has some drawbacks to using it...this one doesn't. Sorry.--ShadowScope 20:33, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
  2. Author Kill- Okay, it seemed like a good idea at the time, but the more I think about this proposal, the less I like it. -- sid1138 2:30, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
  3. This is pretty bad. Messing with AP is not a good thing to do in this game. I support your other suggestion because the skill in and of itself is balanced. One of the nice things about Urban Dead is the lack of mass disparity between old and new players, giving old hands bonus AP to play with destroys that. --Burgan Burgan 23:19, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
  4. It's the sort of nice idea that's been thought about a lot, but decided by general consensus and the ones in power here we'd be better off without. --ExplodingFerret 00:26, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't know what the big deal is about suggestions that alter AP. Sure, it is a touch subject, but people don't even CONSIDER such suggestions. Why not? even the link ExplodingFerret provided says "...it should be enough for now." What does THAT mean? The best comparison is Nexus War. I still only play once a day (even though I can play twice), but it is nice to know that I have more option of WHEN to play. As for the suggestion, the only problem I have is that it is a SKILL. It should just be a change applicable to all characters.--Pesatyel 01:58, 3 November 2006 (UTC) Really i like the creativity but it helps on having ap spaced out as it is because it makes us make our every move count and is a lot funner that way.
