20070620 Settings: toggle skills on / off

. 05:31, 20 June 2007 (BST)

Suggestion type
skill / setting improvement

Suggestion scope
all characters, most skills excluding brainrot

Suggestion description
As title says. In your settings, you would have an option to toggle skills you had purchased off. This might not be possible for some skills that you really can't make a choice about using (eg, body building) but it would be for most others (eg headshot, digestion). Brainrot is a special case, and was already covered in its own suggestion, so this suggestion does not recommend that Brainrot be toggled.

The idea here is twofold. Firstly, you don't always want the effect of a skill. When toggled off, the skill would not function, allowing you to (say) kill a zombie without making it harder for the zombie to stand up. (If that seems silly, consider it a mercy killing when fighting newbies.) Secondly, when you had toggled a skill off, it would not show up in your profile; other people would not know you had the skill. However, they would still know what level you were, so they could try to guess...

Keep Votes

  1. Keep - I've wanted this before so that I could turn off surgery, to leave more injuries for newbie doctors to heal. And sometimes turning of freerunning would save an AP. --Toejam 17:22, 20 June 2007 (BST)
  2. Keep - It makes RP sense- If I was in a building of hippies during a zombie apocalypse, would I TELL THEM I was a military focused character? No, I would lie and say I focused on reviving zombies and avoiding them. So in game, I would turn off BFT, PT, APT, ST, and AST, and then turn theme on again when I needed to go hunting. I don't understand where the sticks in people's collective behinds came from on this. Nalikill 15:27, 22 June 2007 (BST)

Kill Votes

  1. Kill That you made it work for any skill prevented me from duping it with a vengeance, but the ability to toggle headshot WAS one of your main points and that is suggested constantly. Anyway, you listed Brain Rot as a special case, and it should be excluded for obvious reasons--but I think there SHOULD BE drawbacks to buying any other skill, however minor (for example, if you have first aid you get less XP per HP healed.) --Magentaine 05:56, 20 June 2007 (BST)
  2. Kill No point realy. --Seventythree 07:53, 20 June 2007 (BST)
    Two example points: 1)Newbies with First Aid could forgoe its use to earn more XPs 2)People could "lie" about what skills they have. 12:23, 20 June 2007 (BST)
  3. Kill Who benefits from this? Perhaps professional zombies who want to appear as low level newbie survivors by hiding all their zombie skills. Perhaps people who don't want to become a target because they know how to do revives. I say if you really want to hide these things, suggest that a person's skills don't show up in their profile. --Uncle Bill 14:53, 20 June 2007 (BST)
  4. Kill - If you're ashamed of showing your skills, then don't buy any skills. --Hhal 15:22, 20 June 2007 (BST)
  5. Kill- If Brain Rot shouldn't be disable-able no skill should--karek 15:32, 20 June 2007 (BST)
  6. Kill - *buys kerek a beer* i couldn't agree more kerek..but once again...i think our votes are in the wrong section...i REALLY need to stop sniffing glue.... --Bruce Torbaron 15:40, 20 June 2007 (BST)
  7. Kill - My god, if I could un-rotify my brain at will, well. That makes me a god! HAHA! --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 18:45, 20 June 2007 (BST)
  8. Kill No comments needed --Johnny Reb 18:50, 20 June 2007 (BST)
  9. Kill Uh...No. Rotters should be Rotters. They made that choice. --User:Axe27/Sig 19:02, 20 June 2007 (BST)
    To AHLG and Axe 27- reed the suggestion. Brain rot is expressly excluded from this suggestions scope of effect. ... 19:19, 20 June 2007 (BST)
    Kill - Meh. Unsigned vote. --ZombieSlay3rSig.pngT 16:30, 21 June 2007 (BST)
  10. Kill -- You bought it, you got it. -- Firemanrik 22:50, 20 June 2007 (BST)
  11. Kill I can't see a use for this. --Secruss 05:45, 21 June 2007 (BST)
  12. Kill - Despite the example you gave, I don't really see why someone would want to use this. --ZombieSlay3rSig.pngT 16:30, 21 June 2007 (BST)
  13. Kill - I'm fully against this. It don't make sense that you can turn on and off your skills like a lightswitch. --Sonofagun18 07:08, 25 June 2007 (BST)
  14. Kill - as others.-- Vista  +1  20:06, 28 June 2007 (BST)
  15. Kill - Err, I'll just say no and leave it at that, K? Vault 18:24, 1 July 2007 (BST)

Spam/Dupe Votes

  1. Invalid Dupe This invalid vote is just here to indicate that, wow, it seemed like a good idea at the time, but I guess nobody really cares for it. Well, no problem- that's what democracy is good for.15:52, 20 June 2007 (BST)
