20080623 Diagnosis Shows Infection Status

F4tal3rror 16:54, 23 June 2008 (BST)

Suggestion type
Balance Change,Improvement

Suggestion scope
Infected, and people who are healing other players.

Suggestion description
I suggest having Diagnosis showing player's infection status by changing their hp colour to green, like the scent fear does. This allows players to prioritise heals to infected. It only takes one FAK to cure infection anyway, and players will heal people who are injured anyway, but I consider this to be useful regardless, especially when there are a mass of players who are injured, allowing players to prioritise who they heal. Also, if this is extended to show zombie infections, it will prove useful when resurrecting zombies who are infected.

Voting Rules

The only valid votes are Keep, Kill, Spam or Dupe. If you wish to abstain from voting, do not vote.

Keep Votes

1. Keep This is my suggestion, and i believe it to be an improvement. My reasons for voting keep are the same for creating the suggestion. F4tal3rror 17:08, 23 June 2008 (BST)
2. Keep/Minor Change - Hardly unnecessary, good sir, though I would prefer if instead of Diagnosis being the skill to do this, there was a skill in the Diagnosis tree which allowed infection detection instead. But this is a good idea either way --Tselita 17:54, 23 June 2008 (BST)
3. Keep - As above.--Jamie Cantwel3 ^TalkAll glory to the Hypnotoad! 03:41, 24 June 2008 (BST)

Kill Votes

1. Kill - Zombies need two skills to see who is infected, it is quite unfair if survivors can get the same effect for only one. --Aeon17x 18:11, 23 June 2008 (BST)
2. Kill Let's try out my new sig. --Secruss^|Yak|Brahnz!|CGR|PKA||EMLN|Templates|RRF|RFTM|Crap|WHOZ||MU|GN|C2008||21:28, 23 June 2008 (BST)
3. Kill This makes it useless to have death cultists go in and shoot a bunch of people once with pistols so the entire room looks infected. And I like that tactic. So no. --Howard Bentley 22:26, 23 June 2008 (BST)
4. Kill - You must have really good eyes if you can see if someone's infected. If you suggested something like D.N.A. extractor can detect infection when used on the living, I might have voted yes, but if you had the AP to do that, you could have just FAK'd them to begin with. --Officer Dick Trickle 22:36, 23 June 2008 (BST)
5. Kill - Nope sorry, do not kill the infection. --Pvt human 23:20, 23 June 2008 (BST)
6. NOT A DUPE The suggestion that Scotw linked to, Prognosis is a subskill of Diagnosis (that is to say, an entirely DIFFERENT skill, requiring Diagnosis to take) which allows a survivor to see infection. THIS suggestion allows a survivor to see infection WITH diagnosis, not requiring a subskill. That having been said, I prefer Prognosis to this suggestion.--Pesatyel 05:52, 24 June 2008 (BST)

Spam/Dupe Votes

1. Spam - sorry, but this is an unnecessary survivor buff. Also, it may well be a dupe. --Sir Bob Fortune ^RR 17:23, 23 June 2008 (BST)
2. Dupe - i must kill all dupes 18:32, 23 June 2008 (BST)
3. Dupe - Alas, it is a dupe. -- T^HEL^ORDG^UNS^LINGER 19:03, 23 June 2008 (BST)
4. Dupe indeed. --

8. Dupe' as above. --WanYao 01:24, 24 June 2008 (BST)
9. Dupe Attack! DanceDanceRevolution 09:49, 24 June 2008 (BST)
10. Dupe - Agreed. Its a dupe of prognosis. looking back through previous days its been suped off with that suggestion at least five times, and a number of others were likely spaminated, because i remember this idea coming up a lot. Having the idea as its own skill or a modification to another skill doesnt change the fact its the same idea and a dupe, hence both this vote and the suggestions removal. --The Grimch ^{U! E! WAT!} 09:58, 24 June 2008 (BST)

• Re Exactly. The other suggestion which was parallel to this (for those who considered it overpowered/imbalanced) involving another skill, however, is a dupe of that suggestion. I don't consider this OP/IMBA as an extension of diagnosis, but would like to see one or the other implemented. (the skill linked as a 'dupe', or extension of diagnosis F4tal3rror 10:14, 24 June 2008 (BST)
• Re Also, for your information, I did submit it to suggestions talk first. It has been removed as it was due to expire today.
