Suggestion talk:20080330 Active Zombie targeting/Zed Horde Attacks

I have questions regarding the stacking mechanics, and it looks like people disagree on the way they work as well. I am under the impression that all characters are displayed from inactive to active, survivor and zombie. If some zeds come in, make a quick mess, and wait, then have other actives come in, those actives are constantly shielded by the inactives. The only way to target the active ones is to hope they do something to give their ID, grab their ID, add it to your contacts list, colorize it, then start wailing on them, even though by then, they're pretty much finished with whatever assaults they were doing. Zombies can halt active survivors by targetting them right from the start, damaging those at the bottom of the list, but it works in reverse for survivors, who have to blast their way through the inactives just to get to the actives, which is just pointless. The current mechanic does need changed, I believe. if I'm wrong on the way they work, let me know.--Kolechovski 20:19, 1 April 2008 (BST)
