20081114 Torchlight

EchelonThree 06:37, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Suggestion type
Survivor item

Suggestion scope
The torchlight provides light for a survivor in a dark building

Suggestion description
When carrying a torch, a survivor is able to see normally in dark buildings, he may repair dark buildings as if it were a normal building. The size of the torch compared to a gen, however, increases the AP cost to 150% it would normally take to repair.

For example, if I needed 20Ap to fix a dark building with a generator, I would need 30 with a torchlight.

He is also capable of barricading and reviving normally. However, the survivor still suffers an accuracy and search penalty.

After a few uses, the torchlight runs out of charge and must be discarded, like a spray can.

Vital Stats Encumbrance: 8% Search chance: Factories 4%, Firestations and Police Depts 5%, Mall Hardware Stores 10%

40% chance of depleting the batteries.

  1. Dupe - Here are some flashlight suggestions courtesy of Linkthewindow, who posted the links on the discussions page. --William Told 06:47, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
    Also, your attempt at balancing via the 150% AP usage fails because if you're willing to spend 20 AP to repair a building, you're willing to spend 30, or 40, or even 50 AP no problem.--William Told 06:50, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
  2. Dupe - As above. --Papa Moloch 09:32, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
  3. Dupe - Yeah. --Pestolence(talk) 12:25, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
  4. Dupe even if it wasn't there is no way i would vote for a torch to way so much.--Honestmistake 15:20, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
  5. Dupe - This comes up a lot. And every time it gets shot down. -- Cheese 15:25, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
