another level for tall buildings

Timestamp: -.- 13:34, 18 August 2013 (BST)
Type: building
Scope: zombies and humans
Description: Add another level to tall buildings. Free running isn't allowed to or from the extra level, allow the possibility for barricading. If there are zombies on first floor, they must be killed off before players may move to and from the top of the building.

Discussion (another level for tall buildings)

Makes logical sense, but given the declining number of players I think having more "spaces" in which to spread out is a bad idea. Bob Moncrief EBDW! 14:13, 18 August 2013 (BST)

I was aiming for dynamic buildings. This suggestion doesn't address declining players. -.- 14:32, 18 August 2013 (BST)
But it does, in that it spreads them out from 10,000 blocks with roughly 6,000 interiors to 10,000 blocks with roughly 12,000 interiors, making the entire city feel more sparse.

So, a zombie can essentially lock a survivor on the top floor by staying on the bottom one, since according to what you've described, the survivors won't be able to come downstairs unless they suicide. I don't see why that makes sense, considering survivors can already climb over VSB barricades to walk outdoors, even if there are zombies, and it seems like this can be used to grief people pretty effectively. Not to mention the fact that you'd be spreading everyone out further, when what we need is to be condensing people more at this point. Aichon 14:36, 18 August 2013 (BST)

Revised. Players would have a choice to either free run out to another building from the first floor or move up to the second. PKers would have to face the hoard, other survivors or suicide. -.- 14:49, 18 August 2013 (BST)

here is my constructive criticism

*ahem*
