20080322 Ranged Firearms

Suggestion type
Improvement?

Suggestion scope
Survivors who favour ranged weapons (Pistols and Shotguns)

Suggestion description
Essentially being able to actually use your weapons to fire farther then the same square you are in at a loss of accuracy. However you will not be able to shoot through buildings or from the inside of a building to the outside. While most of the map is buildings this will give the survivors a bit of a boost but won't inherently alter the game as they have to search more for ammo. For loss of accuracy let's aim for half of what it normally is to shoot a square away.

Example: You're a survivor at Mockridge Heights at Semple Place armed with a pistol, there is a zombie over at Pavey Street, normally you have 60% chance to hit with a pistol when in the same square but in order to hit the zombie without risking if he is there or not you suffer a 50% penalty and your accuracy is now 30%.

Author Note: I don't believe an author should vote on his own work as that is within itself a bias.

Keep Votes

Keep - THE EGGS ARE BURNING!!! KKTHX--/~Rakuen~\^Talk I Still Love Grim 20:14, 22 March 2008 (UTC) - Unjustified Vote Struck. Burning eggs isn't enough. -- Cheese 21:17, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

I thought Keep votes didn't need to be justified?--/~Rakuen~\^Talk I Still Love Grim 00:28, 23 March 2008 (UTC) Non-author reply. --ZsL 02:48, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

1. Keepzorz 5000 - Weapons should be ranged. --The Gecko PKer 02:04, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
2. keep - look at this I am voting keep!--Jamie Cantwell3 02:54, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
3. Keep - I like it... am I serious? no, of course not... but apparently, random gibberish doesn't count... --/~Rakuen~\^Talk I Still Love Grim 03:45, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Kill Votes

1. Kill - Nope. Sorry can't fly with this. It would make the game weird. A change that wouldn't be welcomed to much. -- Rogue  Sergeant  02:50, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
2. Kill -There needs to be an element of risk. or, why not just be able to shoot out of windows?--Airborne88^T|Z.Quiz|PSS 02:54, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
3. Kill - Here's the thing: playing a smart survivor means only firing your weapon at zombies who breach the barricades of a building. Otherwise, killing zombies outside is essentially useless. The only survivors who really need to attack zombies outside are new players trying to level up, who cant afford to take a 50% accuracy penalty. This skill would be useless for survivors of all levels.--Dr Doom86 ^{T PSS} 03:01, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Spam/Dupe Votes

1. This is called Sniping. And therefore, spam, on the fact of no risk, no hit. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 20:00, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
2. Spam - also probably enough to be a dupe of a commonly suggested game mechanic - that of ranged shots. No pain, no gain. You have to get up close and personal. --Funt Solo ^QT 20:07, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

   Re: Then why did Kevan put pistols and shotguns as opposed to more melee weapons? Why bother give firearms? -Rogueboy (someone tell me how to put the sig quicker) Improperly signed RE. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 20:21, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

3. Poop Dupe- Shooting from an adjacent square (usually with various penalties) has been suggested before.--Studoku 21:15, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
