Zombie Class Change
Timestamp: •▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 19:35, 28 June 2010 (BST) |
Type: Class Change |
Scope: Zombies |
Description: When you start as a zombie, and get revived, your character class is always going to be Civilian. I'd like to propose a change to this system. When a player starts as a Corpse, they are given the option to choose their survivor class (Civilian, Military, Science). I also propose that on the spawning screen, where they show the welcome message and the tips, that each one of that welcome messages is a little different depending on which Survivor class the player chooses.
Choosing Civilian will retain the original welcome message. Choosing Military will result in this message:
Choosing Science will result in this message:

Discussion (Zombie Class Change)
It's a work in progress, but I believe that if you start as a Zombie, you should definitely be able to choose which Survivor class you go into. So any ideas? --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 19:36, 28 June 2010 (BST)
I like it a lot. One thing I would say is that for the Military one, I'd prefer it to say either Fort Creedy or Fort Perryn, rather than leaving it seeming open and weird.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 19:37, 28 June 2010 (BST)
So you're saying you want Military, and Scientist Zombies? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 20:15, 28 June 2010 (BST)
- Considering Axe's is about flavour text, and that is about new skills, I don't consider them to be too similar.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 20:17, 28 June 2010 (BST)
How does this work with purchasing skills? 20:18, 28 June 2010 (BST)
- Well its not just flavour. Its also about changing the cost of levelling substantially. A medical zombie would save 50xp getting the highly useful diagnosis and necrotech employment. A death cultist would save loads on his freerunning and close combat skills. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 20:20, 28 June 2010 (BST)
- Your question's been answered by Ross, Mis. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 20:39, 28 June 2010 (BST)
- And Ross, it's not quite a dupe. I have added flavour text, and every zombie still starts with Vigour Mortis. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 20:44, 28 June 2010 (BST)
I like it. The always Civilian thing always kind of confused me anyways. --Maverick Talk - OBR 404 22:16, 28 June 2010 (BST)
Before I send this to voting, does anyone have ideas on how to improve the welcome texts? Now that I think of it, telling new Science classed zombies that they were Forensic Scientists might seem a little...out there. I mean, there is no way every Science class zombies were Forensic Scientists before they died... --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 22:38, 28 June 2010 (BST)
- I'd like to reiterate my fort thing from earlier.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 22:45, 28 June 2010 (BST)
Re: TripleU's kill vote
Scientists and military were around before the quarantine. —Aichon— 08:35, 30 June 2010 (BST)
Okay, the scientists were, but it looks to me like the soldiers are just being airdropped from outside. --VVV RPMBG 22:42, 30 June 2010 (BST)
