| |suggest_type=New Skill & Item | | |- |
| |suggest_scope=Survivors | | |'''Scope:''' Everyone |
| |suggest_description=This suggestion covers a new Military skill based around thrown projectiles to be used as weapons. | | |- |
| | | |'''Description:''' There are just over 3000 active characters in the game currently likely counting a significant percentage of alts and zergs. Shrinking the map by eliminating the outer first two rings of suburbs would increase the amount of interactions between the remaining characters. This shrink could be increased or decreased depending on future changes to the playerbase. |
| Most objects in the game will be able to be thrown, except those objects deemed to be too heavy to be thrown, such as generators or trees.
| | |} |
| | | ====Discussion (Shrink the map)==== |
| Every object will have a base of 5% to hit. This base rate will be upgraded with the new survivor skill tree '''"Thrown Projectile Training"''' , or a skill of similar name.This will be the first level of this tree, and will give +25% accuracy with thrown projectiles.
| |
| :Second Level of this tree will give a further +25% to all basic thrown weapons.
| |
| :: The Third level will allow for the manufacture of "Molotov Cocktails" which will give this thrown object only a further 10% accuracy.
| |
| | |
| '''Molotov Cocktail''' | |
| This weapon will be created from items which up to this point have had limited use, or have been used for other purposes.
| |
| The components needed to create this new item would be:
| |
| | |
| * 1 x Wine or Beer Bottle
| |
| * Fuel Can (some fuel is taken out of the can each time a molotov is created)
| |
| * A rag (selected automatically when inside a building where a character can change their clothes. Survivors creating a molotov will get the message "You tear a section from the garment" or some such.)
| |
| * Lighter/ Matches ( Now searchable in auto-repairs, Mall stores, Police Departments, Hospitals and many other buildings)
| |
| | |
| The Molotov would deal 15 damage on hitting the target, and has a small chance (10%, let's say) of igniting the target's clothing, causing them to lose 1 HP for every move they make up to 5 moves, at which point the flames will go out as it is assumed the target will frantically try to beat out the flames.
| |
| | |
| '''Regular Projectiles'''
| |
| Regular thrown items will do damage relative to the amount they would do regularly, minus one. Therefore, a fireaxe would do 2 damage, a knife 1, etc etc.
| |
| | |
| Any object may be thrown, within reason, so you may throw empty guns at a target at a last ditch attempt to kill them.
| |
| | |
| '''Thrown Ammo'''
| |
| Ammo is assumed to be light and small, and will therefore do minimal damage (ie 0). This is the only case where a thrown object does not do its regular damage minus one.
| |

| I am almost certain the molotov cocktail and this entire suggestion is a dupe. if it is, im sure iscariot or some other will supply the page. and if its not, which i doubt, i am sorry [[User:Yungblood|Yungblood]] 17:52 November 5, 2008 (EST)

| This may be possible, but have you ever realistically seen someone throw an axe (particularly with any accuracy) up to the length of a city block? To do any real damage to a zombie (or person) you'd have to be within a few feet.. I'll post any improvements I think up.. Sort of a combination of dupes.. If not a dupe in itself. {{User:Dr Cory Bjornson/Sig}} 00:39, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
| |
| :That argument is irrelevant within the context of Urban Dead. "City block" has no unit of measurement here. Two characters within the same square are considered "in range" regardless of the weapon used.

| | |'''Description:''' Due to the passage of time with mobile games and other real time action games without restriction, I think that we should address the action points system of the game. This game can only realistically be played for 5 minutes a day. So it's not really a seller for new blood. If we want to see this game survive it needs to evolve into something more exciting than 5 minutes. My suggestion is double the regeneration rate to improve activity. I love this game. I want to play it more. And the die hard fans I'm sure feel the same. More will go on in a day, sure. But that's for both sides. We're ready for it. Let's get this game moving again. We need this. |

| |suggest_scope=Zombies
| | |'''Type:''' Survivor Item |
| |suggest_description=Upon purchasing this skill, zombies will have a 4th "attack" option to interact with humans. Just as with the three attack options currently used, the attack dropdown menu will allow the zombie to "attack with depants". However, rather then doing damage to the human (as do bite and claw options), the zombie will simply drag the target humans pants/skirt/kilt down.Additionally, a zombie is able to use this skill against zombies wearing pants as well. Zombie will not gain some cyrptic method of identifying targets wearing pants, and the player will have to rely on a targets profile to tell if they have pants on or not. Similar to the human ability to attack with a 100% chance to hit with a newspaper, zombies with the depants skill have a 100% success rate (as with Feeding Drag). Finally, once a zombie successfully depants a target, the target is thus in a state of pantslessness until they go through their settings and put a new pair on. Zombies, of course, would have to be revived before they are able to do that. As the zombie brain is limited in its state of undeath, the zombie is unable to distinguish between pants, skirts, kilts or shorts, and all its flavor text will refer to these items of clothing as merely "pants". | | |- |
| * '''Prerequisities''': Player must be zombie at time of skill purchase, just like every other zombie skill.
| | |'''Scope:''' Survivors |
| * '''Location in Skill tree''':Found within the Vigour Mortis skill set, this skill is only available after Feeding Drag is purchased. While technically this would make the skill a 3rd tier (it has two prerequisities), humans already have three such skills (Advanced Pistol Training, Advanced Shotgun Training and NecroNet Access).
| | |- |
| * '''Crossover skill''': Humans already have a similar attack when they attack a zombie or a human with a newspaper (see [[Assorted/Misc_Items#Newspaper|here]]). Therefore depantsing will be limited to just zombies.
| | |'''Description:''' Portable drone, found in mall tech stores, which are pointless as we all know. Encumbrance is 10%. When activated for 15ap they provide an image of a 10x10 grid centred on the survivor, showing the current outside status of all blocks including zombies, survivors and dead bodies. Like DNA scanners, Drones are multi use. |
| * '''Cost in XP''': 100exp, just like every other zombie skill.
| | |} |
| * '''How it's activated''': As explained in description (above), this skill is used same as Feeding Drag. When attacking a human, it will be a 4th "attack" option available to the zombie that has it. Unlike Feeding Drag, there will be no change to the human location.
| | ====Discussion (Drone)==== |
| * '''Cost in AP''': One AP, same as the other zombie attacks.
| | Would there be a message displayed to the players to the effect of "there's a drone buzzing overhead", similar to a flare? --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 02:19, 24 July 2022 (UTC) |
| *'''Flavor text''':
| |
| **''When attacking a human with pants or skirt'' : Zombie will get the message "You drag {target}'s pants down". Humans will get the message "A zombie dragged your pants down" (unless targeted human has attacking zombie in their contacts).
| |
| **''When attacking a human with no pants or skirt'' :Zombie will get the message "{Target} is already pantsless". Zombie is still penalized one AP.
| |
| **''Third partys'' : Regardless of being a zombie or a human, anyone in the same immediate area will get the text "A zombie pulled down {Target}'s pants. (time ago)". As with the targets perspective, players would not see the zombies name unless they have them in contacts. In order to witness a depantsing, a player needs to be inside if it occurs inside, or in the same section of the large building (for example, same block of a mall). Finally, regardless of how many players are in the building, everyone there will witness the depantsing. Precedent of this is when a player kills another player, regardless of how many people are in the building, everyone sees it.

| | | |'''Scope:''' Survivors |
| You can now '''Watch''' survivors in the same area as you. While you are watching someone, you are informed of every action they undertake, with the prefix "You observe [name of watched] [action]".
| | |- |
| | | |'''Description:''' This will be a new item found in schools with a 2% find rate and sports stores with a 4% find rate. The low numbers are because, like a flak jacket, once you find it you have it forever. It increases you encumbrance by 30%. However, you can't use an item that is in your backpack until you remove it from the backpack. It costs one AP to add an item to your backpack and one AP to remove an item. An item affects your regular encumbrance until added to the backpack. Items such as GPS, radios, cell phones, and flak jacket do not work when in your backpack. Items in your backpack will not be shown in your inventory, but the backpack itself will be shown in your inventory. There will be a drop box next to the word backpack that shows all the items inside. When you click on an item in that drop box, it removes it from your backpack (1 AP). |
| However, survivors have not yet learnt how to watch people 'covertly', and as such the person being watched will receive the message 'You notice [name of person] watching you'
| |
| | |
| You can also watch barricades, so that you notice people barricading/attacking them (from the inside only. If they are attacked from the outside you just notice the barricade collapsing.) Same with generators and radios.|discussion=|}}

| ====Discussion (Watch)====

| Well. I'm assuming you can only watch one person at a time? Is it a cost of 1ap, does doing anything else cancel the watching, doesn't the fact you know you're being watched make this a bit pointless? --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 09:43, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

| If this works on the whole room its a dupe of a peer rejected (If not Spammed) suggestion... I think Jon Pyre was last to suggest it? Anyway, basically it gets yelled at for spoiling PKer fun by making it easier to see what they are doing It also annoys survivors who disagree with the current baricade level aand then get shot by a watcher. It would also cause massive amounts of screen SPAM, I know you choose to use it but inside a mall being attacked by zombies you are going to get literally thousands of bits of useless inf. If it is person specific its pointless --[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 09:47, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

| Couldn't find a dupe, but seems a bit pointless, as if you can be seen being watched, then they won't do anything stupid. Could also be used to enforce <u>metagaming</u> policies-such as the UBP.

| I see this as nothing more than a pker tool. I don't see any other reason to watch an individual. To watch, you have to have cause to do so. What is that cause? "Someone you don't know"? People Free Run though buildings on a near constant basis. People stop for a few AP to search. The argument I think your using is that people are asses who only show up to do bad things. And waht are those bad things? Attack other survivors, attack the barricade or attack the generator (or radio). How do you know I intend such actions if I enter the same building? You don't. So what other reason could you have to watch someone?--[[User:Pesatyel|Pesatyel]] 05:02, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm not real sure why becuase if you hit someone on the head with a bat its still a "headshot".

| |
| |suggest_description= Here's an idea to make the GPS unit better. What if clicking it could save a location. From then on instead of it giving you a set of coordinates it would give you directions to place you set it for. So if you click a GPS and move 5s3e the GPS unit would no longer say [45,81], it'd say [5n3w]. Moving, of course, would alter it so it keeps giving you accurate directions.
| |
| | |
| The GPS unit would keep being set to that location even after logging out and logging back in again. It would cost 1AP to set a GPS unit to a location, and another 1AP to switch it back to giving coordinates (after which it can be set for somewhere else).
| |
| | |
| It'd be best if each GPS unit in your inventory could be set to a different place but if that would take up to much memory it can make it so that clicking one GPS sets them all to that location, or you could only allow one GPS to be set at a time.
| |
| | |
| It would be a useful reminder. You could set it for the nearest mall and always know how to get there as you wander around the neighborhood, or a hospital, or a necrotech, etc. Yeah, a map could also tell you that but this is just faster.

| :::But they don't ''have'' to. If you don't like the way the game is you can patch it up yourself (or if you don't have the skills, eg me, use other peoples stuff). It means each player can add the features they want and not the ones they don't and means less work for kevdog. Seems win win to me. That's not to say this suggestion shouldn't go ahead or whatever, i'm just pointing out that a big fucking dog can get this done now if he wants rather than hoping and waiting for kevan to introduce it.--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 08:39, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

| ::::I actually think this is a needed enhancement for the GPS although I would prefer if clicking it set it to display a second set off co-ordinates along the lines of "[xx,yy] - (aa,bb)" with x/y being current and a/b being the location/direction (and possibly in a different colour) where you clicked the GPS, only having one displayed would result in people carrying two GPS units instead.
| |
| ::::Scripts and ad-ons should not add extra things to the game, organising your inventory/changing graphics/making it easier to access available information is fine. Out of curiosity I actually took a look at the page and was unsuprised to see this ''"Additional Features: You can also view the co-ordinates of your current location and home base. This effectively makes the GPS Unit item redundant."'' If I understand it correctly what this also does is eliminate the need for a GPS, effectively cheating and giving you an unfair advantage over regular players who prefer to play the game as intended because you no longer need to carry one. --[[User:Kamikazie-Bunny|Kamikazie-Bunny]] 14:27, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

| :::::That's true. However the nice skins that make the map look pretty effectively tell you where NT buildings are. Information about this (and GPS info) are also available on the wiki. So people will more spare time can effectively make the GPS unit redundant and are cheating. Or are you saying we should exclude GPS data from the wiki? If the information is available from the game it's not really cheating is it? It's just using a tool to access a database of free information. Anyway that's my two cents, i can see that you could disagree, but the script i linked to does do ''exactly'' what you're both looking for. Just use it, you know you want to ;) --{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 22:00, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

| As Linkthewindow said, players should not HAVE to use outside scripts to get something that can be done in game. I see nothing wrong with this suggestion.--[[User:Pesatyel|Pesatyel]] 07:55, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

| I think it would be best to have the same kind of screen as radios when you click them, where you could either set it to current location, set it to some arbitrary location, or disable the "homing" feature completely. In my opinion different GPSs should be able to have different locations. --[[User:Midianian|Midianian]]<small><sup>|[[User talk:Midianian|T]]|[[Developing Suggestions|DS]]|[[:Category:Recently Closed Suggestions|C:RCS]]|</sup></small> 11:17, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

| :I've thought of this for quite some time.I wondered why such a feature was never used. I thought it would have already been in PR and just been sitting around like many other suggestions.

| |suggest_scope=Mansions
| |
| |suggest_description=In Monroeville, a mansion outside the city has nonfunctional CCTV cameras overlooking the outside of the mansion. Well, this gives me an idea for the mansions in Malton. Why wouldn’t they have cameras looking outside? Maybe they do…Maybe now that survivors are forced to get more resourceful, they may have started using them.
| |
| | |
| The way the cameras work is simple. In any powered block inside a mansion, there will be an option “View Surveillance Cameras” (must be in a powered block). You will then get a view similar to binocular use, though it only shows the outside of the mansion. Cameras in a quadrant of the mansion will only function if that quadrant is powered. Unpowered sections will cause “No Signal” to display in the view of those areas. Here is an example of what it would look like.

| No. First of all, this is not even going to save you any AP. Between putting and fueling a generator in a mansion (and who does that?) and then actually using AP to repair the CCTV, (which would need to happen) and then actually using it, you could have just stepped outside and back in and entry point. silly. - [[User:Tylerisfat|tylerisfat]] 22:48, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

| I quite like this idea. Because it's so useless and only for a few useless non TRP buildings in the city it can't do any harm but adds some nice flavour for those mansion bunnies. Although i think it may be dupetastic. --{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 05:30, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

| ::Iscariot, you really just need to fuck off. Anyhow, I hadn't even ripped this idea from Borhamwood. It was just by luck that Borehamwood ended up having these anyhow.
