Suggestion description
so i'm sure most of you have seen how even when a building is ruined the survivors can free run out of it,but not come back in.This seems to be a very crappy mechanic in the game because i can't see how you can't come into a heavily damaged building but can pretty easily free run out....so my suggestion aims to fix this problem in the game by giving the survivor the same chance(or percentage) for failing when free running out of a ruined building as when free running into a ruined building.i'm doing this because i have seen that even when buildings are ruined,people can use it as entry points and thus ruin the point of ruining.

Voting Section

Voting Rules
Votes must be numbered, justified, signed, and timestamped.
# justification ~~~~

Votes that do not conform to the above may be struck by any user.

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


Keep Votes

  1. Keep Logical mechanic that would improve the game. Bob Moncrief EBDW! 13:29, 14 May 2013 (BST)
  2. Keep - I could be convinced differently, but the way I see it, this is a bigger nerf than you realize, since it's quite a bit different from failing to free ruin to ruins. With free running to ruins, you always land exactly where you expected. The only question is whether or not you take damage in doing so; the AP cost remains the same either way. With your suggestion, free running from ruins would sometimes land you successfully inside the building just fine, while other times landing you outside of the building with damage, which would force you to go back to the ruined building, enter it, and try again. As a result, what should have taken 1AP has now taken 4AP. Put differently, 50% of the time, the survivor would spend 4AP instead of 1AP. 25% of the time, they'd spend 7AP. 12.5% of the time they'd spend 10AP. And so on. Just to travel one block. Actually, I think I've just convinced myself that I like this idea... Aichon 14:23, 14 May 2013 (BST)
    ReI have no idea what you just said,but it sounded great. lol. thanks for the keep vote. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Paynetrain (talkcontribs) 13:30, 14 May 2013.
    I realize I never really explained why I thought it was a good idea. The reason is pretty simple: every good zombie movie has that moment of tension where a survivor is trying, perhaps in vain, to get away from the zombies that are after them, and that sort of panic-inducing uncertainty coupled with the moments of "phew!" would be a welcome mechanic in a game that largely feels too safe and routine. It's a smart way to make survivors more vulnerable, without nerfing the barricades that are the foundation of their defense. Plus, if more survivors are sleeping in ruined buildings after failing to make it inside, it may make hiding in plain sight a less effective strategy, which I actually think would be for the best, even though I enjoy using it regularly.

  4. Keep - Touche! Ayu Milady NWO member 17:58, 21 May 2013 (BST)
  5. Keep Fuck those breathers.--RadicalWhig 20:08, 22 May 2013 (BST)
  6. Keep Seems only fair PB&J 20:29, 22 May 2013 (BST)

Kill Votes

  1. Kill - For the reasons Aichon said. It doesn't do anything to actually balance the game or really change that much - the effects are pretty minimal. It just makes the game less fun and more repetitive where you have to walk back in to a building and try again because an RNG told you to. Not what the game needs in my opinion. We should be trying to add interesting new content, not making the content that does exist more boring and repetitive.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 17:25, 14 May 2013 (BST)
  2. Kill - While there is some merit to it, it destroys some interesting and unorthodox tactics such as the usage of dark ruins as guaranteed entry points, without providing any new tactical angles. -- Spiderzed 18:49, 14 May 2013 (BST)
  3. Kill - A ruined building still exists, still has a roof that a person could get to and free run from, even if it has too many holes to land on. SupereviloverlordTalkContribNWO 01:23, 15 May 2013 (BST)

Spam/Dupe Votes




Voting Rules
Current Suggestions

Advice to Suggesters

  1. Adding options to your suggestion is not good practice. Others will not vote on the options, only the main body; please don't ask them to do so.
  2. Once you have posted your suggestion, it is considered complete. Altering the suggestion mechanics after voting has begun nullifies existing votes, and is considered an abuse of the suggestions system. Doing so will result in your suggestion being removed from the voting system to removed suggestions, where you can work out the details and resubmit later if you desire. It is preferred that you remove your own suggestion and resubmit a new version with changes, if changes are needed.
  3. "Notes" added for clarification purposes, and correcting spelling/typos are permitted. When considering adding a clarification note, it is often better for all parties involved, for the author to remove the suggestion and resubmit it with the clarification included for the voters who have already placed their votes.

Advice to Voters

  1. You are voting on Suggestions, not Users. The text of your vote should not personally attack or denigrate the user who has submitted it... no matter how ridiculous the idea. Flaming and/or Trolling will not be tolerated.
  2. Before voting please read the Suggestions Dos and Do Nots and Frequently Suggested Ideas Page to read about concepts that have been generally considered unworkable in the past. You do not need to follow the guidelines on these pages but they are worth consideration before casting a vote.
  3. One vote per user. No exceptions. You cannot use multiple wiki accounts to vote on a suggestion.
  4. To Vote, use the [edit] button at the top of the voting section, then enter your vote in the the proper format to the end of the relevant section (keep/kill/spam).
  5. It is strongly recommended that voters (especially in the kill/spam sections) justify their vote to help others understand the reason they disagree. Feedback helps new suggesters get a feel for what the community does and does not want included in Urban Dead, and a deeper understanding of the balance needed for a workable suggestion.
  6. Votes must include a signature in order to be considered valid votes. To sign a vote, use --~~~~. Please remember to sign your votes! Unsigned votes will be deleted after 30 minutes or when found.
  7. Each Suggestion will be open to voting for two (2) weeks, measured from the suggestion's Timestamp, unless it is a Dupe or Spam. If, at the end of that time, there are two thirds (2/3) more Keep votes than Kill votes, the Suggestion will be moved to the Peer Reviewed Suggestions page. Otherwise, the Suggestion will be moved to the Peer Rejected Suggestions page.
Rules for Discussions

Votes are NOT the place to discuss Suggestions. This page and archived suggestion pages only to be used for the Suggesting and subsequent Voting of these suggestions. If you wish to discuss the suggestion or vote here, please use this page's Talk page (Suggestion talk:20130514 Free running out of ruined buildings). Suggestions do not have to be submitted in order to discuss them. Developing Suggestions can be used to workshop possible suggestions before they are submitted.

Valid Votes
  • Keep, for Suggestions that you believe have merit.
  • Kill, for Suggestions that you believe do not have merit. If you need to discuss a rule fix, use the discussion page.
  • Spam, for the most ridiculous suggestions.
Suggestions can be removed with Spam votes as described on the cycling suggestions page. If the criterion described there are not fulfilled, the suggestion must remain for the whole two weeks.
Spam votes are not a "strong kill", they are simply here to prevent the utterly ridiculous from clogging up the system. If you do not like the idea, and it's not some crazy uber power or something else ridiculous, VOTE KILL, NOT SPAM. Spam votes will be counted as Kill when votes are tallied.
  • Dupe, for Suggestions that are exact or very close duplicates of previous suggestions. For a Dupe vote to be valid, a link must be provided to the original suggestion.
Dupe votes can be used to remove suggestions as described on the cycling suggestions page. Dupe votes will not be counted when votes are tallied.
  • Humourous, for suggestions that are obviously intended to be satirical, or of comedic value only.}}
Suggestions can be removed with Humourous votes as described on the cycling suggestions page. If the criterion described there are not fulfilled, the suggestion must remain for the whole two weeks.
Invalid Votes
  • Server Load and Programming Complexity are NOT very good Kill reasons. You are voting on the merit of the suggestion and whether or not you think it belongs in the game. Server load/complexity issues are up to Kevan to decide.
  • X should be implemented first is not a valid reason for a vote. You are voting on the merit of THIS suggestion, not how it compares to others.
  • Votes that do not have reasoning behind them are invalid. You MUST justify your vote.
Comments
  • Re may be used to comment on a vote. Only the original author and the person being REd can comment. Comments are restricted to a single comment per vote, and it is expected that Re comments be as short as possible. Reing every kill vote is considered abuse of the Re comment. A Re does not count as a vote, and any subsequent discussion not part of the Re comment should be held on the discussion page if there is any extended commenting.
  • Note is used by System Operators to invalidate trolling-based votes. Only Sysops may remove troll-based votes and they do so with a strikeout <s></s> in order to preserve the trolling removal for posterity. The voter may contest the strikeout with the Sysop that struck their vote out on the discussion page. Only a System Operator may remove a strikeout.
All Caps

Try to avoid YELLING, writing in bold, or using italics, except when emphasizing a point which has escaped other voters.
