Barricading XP

Timestamp: 08:18, 21 July 2006 (BST)
Type: Improvement.
Scope: Survivors with Construction.
Description: I think that all survivors who barricade things should get 1XP for each time they use the construction skill. During long sieges it is difficult to get XP because there is not enough AP to kill zombies because it is all being used up by keeping the barricades up. --Rhys Parker 08:20, 21 July 2006 (BST)

  1. Keep - Author vote. --Rhys Parker 08:20, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  2. Kill - The benifits of barricades are that it keeps Zombies outside. It's your choice as to what you think is more important. Also Zombies don't get XP for destorying barricades so I don't see why survivors should get XP for making them. And don't suggest for Zombies to get XP from barricades, it's been done to death already. - Jedaz 08:23, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  3. Kill - Even if you consider giving XP to the zombies to match, there is always the posibily of abuse.--Thari 08:32, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  4. Kill - Tempted to Spam as I can see how this will be abused. Youronlyfriend 08:59, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  5. Spam - WTFCENTAURS? This suggestion is insanity at it's most basic level. XP for barricading would be unbalancing to the extreme. Mr. Suggestion? Go away. Far away. To Peer Rejected, and never come back. –Xoid 09:09, 21 July 2006 (BST)

  6. Kill GO OUTSIDE. FIGHT ZOMBIES. --Jon Pyre 09:32, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  7. SPAMTARDED - Your suggestion is hurting the Internet. –Bob Hammero Mod•T•P! 09:33, 21 July 2006 (BST)
    • Invalid part of vote struck, just to piss Bob off. haha--Gage 12:02, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  8. Kill - You seem new (forgive me if you're not) so allow me to explain. As barricades can be put up in any building, and can be taken down, the player would not even have to leave their safehouse to get XP, and once they have construction they would be able to level up without really doing anything at all. They would simply be able to take down the barricades, barricade up to get XP, take them down again, put them up to get XP... you get the idea. The potential for abuse is huge. --Preasure 10:30, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  9. SPAMTACULAR - it huuuuurts... make it stoooop!--Gage 12:02, 21 July 2006 (BST)

  10. Kill - One sided, encourages over barricading, abuse problems... And probably a few more things to. --Tethran 13:02, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  11. Spam - What? This type of suggestion again? I think the word unfair properly describes this suggestion. --Brizth mod T W! 13:21, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  12. Spam - I think I should get XP for scratching my balls --Mookiemookie 15:29, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  13. Kill - The benefit of barricading is not dying, as has been stated, this encourages over-barricading, and is made worse by the fact that zombies aren't included in the mix. --Rgon 15:31, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  14. Spam - Exp for putting them up, but not for bringing them down?--Gene Splicer 15:59, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  15. Spam - Shit-tastic. If you're in a mall siege, maybe you should be more worried about say, suriviving then getting XP. – Nubis 16:06, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  16. Kill - XP should come from interaction with other characters, not buildings. Jenny D'ArcT MPS 16:17, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  17. Spam - No thanks! Unnecessary, that's just the cost of living in a mall. If you want xp, you've gota go out and find it. --Burgan 18:18, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  18. Spam - WTFCENTAURS Dear lord no. Sonny Corleone WTF 18:20, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  19. Spam - Every time they use the construction skill? So if barricades are at EHB +4, I can keep attempting to add barricading however unsuccessful it may be? 1 exp/AP? Guaranteed? Ybbor 18:39, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  20. SPAM unfixable, unfair and probably a few other "uns" too!--Honestmistake 20:02, 21 July 2006 (BST)

  23. Spam - WTFCENTAURS? How many times has this shitpile been suggested? --A Bothan Spy Mod WTF U! 02:27, 22 July 2006 (BST)
  24. Spam -Can you say ABUSE? Besides, survivors can already get XP from reviving, DNA extraction, combat, healing, reading, tagging and dumping bodies. Survivors DON'T need another XP source (at least not before ZOMBIES get one). And during a siege it is up to YOU to decide where you want to spend your AP. If your REALLY worried about getting XP, healing is alot more efficent (especially in a mall).--Pesatyel 04:28, 22 July 2006 (BST)
  25. Spam - 1. Spending 1 AP to drain 4 or 5 out of a zombie you haven't even met isn't good enough for you? 2. Gain 1xp per 1AP spent? that's almost axe efficiency, and you don't need zombies. 3. Overencourages dummy barricading. This suggestion cannot be refined to make it work--McArrowni 14:26, 22 July 2006 (BST)
  26. SPAM the dead horse has been beaten to a friggin pulp, let the cade-XP idea just die already --Kiltric 19:44, 23 July 2006 (BST)

  29. Kill - Or we could not do this. You know. That sounds good. David Malfisto 18:09, 29 July 2006 (BST)
  30. Spammo!! - Mommy!!! This Guy hurt my brain!!! AAAHH!! I need to go to the hosypital!! Thsi idea is stoopid, and forces more on pkers and bkers (im charging you for the hospital bill!!!) --Poopman9 17:44, 31 July 2006 (BST)

Barricade XP

Timestamp: 11:24, 21 July 2006 (BST)
Type: New XP source
Scope: All Players
Description: I propose that for every level a survivor barricades up to they gain 1XP. eg. if they raise the barricades from Very Strongly Barricaded to Heavily Barricaded they get 1XP but they then increase the level of the Heavy barricades to HB+1, they dont gain XP, this will stop it being used as an XP farm.

For zombies, everytime they lower the barricades by a level they gain 1XP, eg. if they break the Heavy Barricades down to Very Strong Barricades they gain 1XP but then lower it form VSB+2 to VSB+1 they dont gain XP.
To prevent abuse, the XP can only be gained from building barricades if the barricades are above Quite Strong.

Note: Only zombies can gain XP from destroying barricades.

Votes

  1. Keep- Author vote -- Krazy Monkey W! 11:24, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  2. Kill - Getting Xp for doing things that give you a direct benifit is bad. - Jedaz 11:28, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  3. Kill - no more incentive is need to break/build barricades--Gage 12:00, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  4. Kill - I'd say that if there was to be any sort of XP benifit to making and breaking cades encouraging people to barricade up to EHB to get XP will just encourage overbarricading that'll trap new players outside. That and encouraging building to EHB makes it harder for Zs to break in. --Tethran 13:00, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  5. Kill - While this is light-years ahead of the previous suggestion, this doesn't address the unbalance zombies and survivors have in breaking and building barricades. It is a lot easier for survivors to build barricades than for zombies to break them. Plus what others said. --Brizth mod T W! 13:25, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  6. Kill - Much better, but still no dice. And as written, still encourages over-barricading. --Rgon 15:35, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  7. Kill - You have a couple of typos. It should be "Zombies" and "down a level". Fix it and I'll vote Keep --Gene Splicer 16:00, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  8. Spam - XP should be earned by interacting with other players. – Nubis 16:07, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  9. Kill - What Nubis said. Jenny D'ArcT MPS 16:18, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  10. Spam - What Nubis said...but! What about books? You can get xp from that. Sonny Corleone WTF 18:20, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  11. Spam - Unnecessary. Waste of time. XP for interaction for the win! Pardon the books, but they're infinitesimal and amusing. --Burgan 18:21, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  12. spam still not good and still unfixable!--Honestmistake 20:04, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  13. Kill As per Brizth -BrainsYummy 01:43, 22 July 2006 (BST)
  14. Spam -The zombie half is already in Peer Review. As for the first part, this is how I voted on the SAME suggestion above: Can you say ABUSE? Besides, survivors can already get XP from reviving, DNA extraction, combat, healing, reading, tagging and dumping bodies. Survivors DON'T need another XP source (at least not before ZOMBIES get one and the second half of this suggestion doesn't count).--Pesatyel 04:39, 22 July 2006 (BST)
  15. Spam - What will stop it being used as an xp farm? Each AP spent does raise it by 1 level until it gets pretty high. Also, survivors have plenty of ways to gain xp already. Also, this encourages dummy barricading. Also, WAIT TILL SIMILAR SUGGESTIONS HAVE AT LEAST A FRICKING FEW DAYS OF VOTING before submitting what is nearly a dupe. In the early days of this system, I would have duped this... --McArrowni 14:30, 22 July 2006 (BST)
  16. Kill - XP farming, and encourages overbarricading. –Bob Hammero Mod•T•P! 19:06, 22 July 2006 (BST)
  17. SPAM - wow, I've got that Deja Vu feeling like I just spammed this same idea, oh, right, I did. --Kiltric 19:45, 23 July 2006 (BST)
  18. Keep -- only just a keep , survivors dont need XP for building cades , thats way to easy , where as , for a zombie to get a building from the VS level to a QS level could take anything from 3-30+ AP's , and 3 would be very very rare as i'm sure zombies know , only zombies should get XP , not survivors , other than that , it's a workable idea i guess--Yeoman the Zombie 10:33, 24 July 2006 (BST)
  19. Dupe - of this (MY SUGGESTION >:() and this --DJSMITHCDF 14:50, 26 July 2006 (BST)
  20. Kill - Barricade for life. --Max Grivas JG,T,P! 21:15, 26 July 2006 (BST)
  21. Kill - As dupe boy up there. David Malfisto 18:10, 29 July 2006 (BST)
  22. Spam On Wheels - there needs to be a stronger vote than spam. How about "the person who suggested this idea should be shot"? That is what should happen here! --Poopman9 17:46, 31 July 2006 (BST)

Zombie Radio

Timestamp: 12:00, 21 July 2006 (BST)
Type: improvement
Scope: Zombies with Death Rattle.
Description: I propose that zombies with the Death Rattle skill be able to broadcast messages over the radio. Note that they won't be able to change the channel (they're still zombies, after all), but they WILL be able to "BARHAR" all they like on the channel the radio transmitter is currently set to. As per Death Rattle, the messages will be in zombie speech.

My logic on this:

  • Zombies can receive messages on their handheld radio receivers, so they already have some access to the radio network.
  • Zombies are already using their human alts to broadcast messages anyway.
  • Radios won't last long in a zombie-occupied building (even in the unlikely event one of a dozen zombies doesn't smash it, the generator will soon run out of fuel), which prevents massive radio spam, but they would still last long enough to give the first few zombies inside a chance to say something to the world after clearing out the survivors.
  • Zombies can always ZK any zeds who spam, just like survivors can now PK any survivors that spam.
  • "Zambah Gangbang Harmanz! Barhar!" messages would let survivors know that one of their safehouses has fallen. Many such messages would let survivors know their safehouses are falling a lot. A constant stream of such messages would let survivors know that maybe safehouses aren't such a good idea anymore.

  2. Keep - love it--Gage 11:59, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  3. Kill - It's a good idea in theory, but would result in even more spam than there is currently. And I think we can all agree there is waaay too much spam as is. --A Bothan Spy Mod WTF U! 12:00, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  4. Keep - Banana gangbang !n grammaz azz. –Xoid 12:33, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  5. Keep - But have you seen the price of banana's these days? I don't know how the Zombies afford them. - Jedaz 12:39, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  6. Keep - A real close keep. I'd like to see zombie broadcasting require Memories of Life to prevent at least some spam. --Nob666 12:51, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  7. Keep - This would be pretty cool to hear in-game. It wouldn't happen often. Normally I kill effects that are unlikely and rare, but for this it would heighten the experience. BTW, any points about radio spam are not really strong anymore; no one makes you carry a radio or listen to certain stations.(Plus, Broadcasters tune back to 26.00 when done to help deter spam) Requiring Death Rattle would be good to hear something interesting, but then it would be even more unlikely to happen. Zan mar copz... --Raystanwick 13:24, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  8. Kill - Don't give radio spammers like me another outlet for our antisocial tendancies --Mookiemookie 15:30, 21 July 2006 (BST)

  10. Kill - Unless you also want zombies to be able to shoot guns, revive each other, barricade, give power to the parks, and all that other rot. – Nubis 16:08, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  11. Keep - Oh come on, how can you kill this one? Zombies on the radio, it's just to much fun! --Paradox244 16:12, 21 July 2006 (BST)

      • Re: - "Keep on Wheels" is my way of indicating that I think a suggestion is a particularly good one. --John Taggart 02:28, 22 July 2006 (BST)
  16. Keep - As with Nob666, Just memories and we are done. I can see trenchcoaters rushing into zed's safehouses, destroying the radio and running.--Thari 18:56, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  17. keep you sir are a genius, add in the M.O.L. pre-req and its a solid gold winner. the best suggestion for weeks. remember folks its only a game and it should be fun for all! Two things though; i would also like the pre-rec of radio operation (hard for most zeds i know but it would seriously reduce spam) and there MUST be no harmanz present to distract you. These of course are just refinements of your master plan "RAM RAM RAM< GRANMAZ AZZ" forever!--Honestmistake 20:10, 21 July 2006 (BST)
  18. Keep Man... I suggested something similar a long time ago. It's still awesome. --Ron Burgundy 02:15, 22 July 2006 (BST)
  19. Keep As Nob suggestion, require MoL. I might go so far as to say make it an addition skill under MoL, but MoL alone is good enough.--Pesatyel 04:41, 22 July 2006 (BST)
  20. Kill There's already spam on radios. I don't want gibberish on there too. --Jon Pyre 10:20, 22 July 2006 (BST)
  21. Keep cubed - The Shamblin' Crooners would be all over this! --Darth Sensitive talk • W! 19:01, 22 July 2006 (BST)
  22. Keep - This would be hilarious. –Bob Hammero Mod•T•P! 19:07, 22 July 2006 (BST)
  23. Keep - Love. But I still think that one needs memories of life to operate the radio and that operator thing to use it on closed channels. --Niilomaan 13:13, 23 July 2006 (BST)
  24. Spam - there are some things that zombies just shouldn't be able to do. --Kiltric 19:46, 23 July 2006 (BST)
  25. Kill - and add more spam to the radios? no thank you --DJSMITHCDF 14:52, 26 July 2006 (BST)
  26. Keep - Zombies can hear it so, OK. But what freqs? --Max Grivas JG,T,P! 21:17, 26 July 2006 (BST)
  27. Kill - Spam = bad. David Malfisto 18:12, 29 July 2006 (BST)
    • Spam On Wheels - Again, as kiltric. --Poopman9 17:48, 31 July 2006 (BST)
    • Note - You must give a valid reason.--The General U! P! Mod20:00, 31 July 2006 (BST)
  28. Kill - Simply from a roleplaying standpoint, I don't think it would be logical for zombies to be capable of operating a radio (most of them have buttons or other controls you have to operate to broadcast, the mic doesn't just stay open all the time). BlakeMP 20:20, 1 August 2006 (CST)
