Pin is a new zombie attack available after purchasing the skill "Pin" which is a sub skill of Tangling Grasp. It has the following stats:
:Dmg-0
:Acc-40%
 
When a zombie successfully attacks it is assumed to have knocked the survivor over and pinned them to the ground. A zombie who has pinned a survivor down can only use bite attacks on that survivor, interacting with any other object/moving away/death releases the survivor (the survivor is then classed as knocked down instead of pinned). If another zombie Pins a pinned survivor they replace the old zombie (it should be assumed the zombie has pushed the other zombie away from the food).
 
 
A survivor who is knocked/pinned down has a screen similar to when dead but rather than saying "You are dead" it has the following flavour text and stand up costs:
:For Knockdown "''You have been knocked to the ground''" - "''Stand up (1AP)''"
::or
:For Pinned "''A zombie is pinning you down''" - "''Stand up (5AP)''"
 
 
Upon entering a room where zombie(s) have pinned down survivors there is an additional line of text reading either:
 
:''A zombie is attempting to feed on xxxxx''
::or
:''Zombies are attempting to feed on xxxxx, yyyyy and zzzzz''
 
 
Zombies who are currently pinning survivors may be attacked individually as the targets:
:xxxxx's Zombie
:yyyyy's Zombie
:zzzzz's Zombie

Firstly. Welcome, and well done for taking this through developing suggestions and not just straight to voting.
 
Unfortunately this is a dupe of a previous suggestion, called [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Suggestions/RejectedNovember2005# Mind_Munch] way back in 2005. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 20:37, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
:Thanks I didn't catch that. Unlike the original version, my suggestion doesn't take away XP from the victim and it's the final death knell for a dedicated zombie character. I read the suggestions carefully and originally I thought this should only apply to dedicated zombie players as a reward and not dual characters that have both human and zombie skills. But the suggestion says to keep suggestions simple. I'm not sure of the additional complexity this offers. So even though my suggestion is a pseudo-dupe, it's slightly different, and is that enough to progress, or is it to close to the original? Lastly, my original intention for the Rage skill was for the final transformation into a unrecoverable zombie and to have the ability to run/move faster than a human. Just like in the flicks were zombies have great speed/rage over their human counterparts for long distances. But I couldn't figure out a simplistic way to do so that fits with UD's AP design.

===Fluorescent paint===
{{suggestionNew
|suggest_time=--{{User:Pestolence/Sig}} 01:27, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
|suggest_type=Item
|suggest_scope=All
|suggest_description=Blake's paint can suggestion below me gave me an idea for a suggestion. This suggestion would add a new item, ''Paint Can'', to the game. When using this item, you would have a 50% chance to cover the target in fluorescent (glow in the dark) paint.
 
The paint would not cause damage to the target. Its effect would be: If the player covered in paint goes into a dark building, where the chance to hit is usually halved, chances for other players (PKers or zombies) to attack the player successfully would be the same as if the building was lighted. (Example: Player X is in a dark building, where the chance to hit him with a fire axe is 20%. Player Y throws glow in the dark paint on Player X. Player Y and any other players in the building now have a 40% chance to attack Player X successfully.)
 
Possible flavor:
*(successful attack): ''You throw the paint at Player X and drench him with it. He now shows up more clearly in the dark building.''
*(in a dark building with paint-covered humans):''There are 15 humans here. 2 of them are covered in glowing paint and show up more clearly in the dark building.''
*(paint-covered zombie):''There are two zombies here. One is covered in some glowing paint.''
 
The paint would have no effect in lighted areas or outside. Some issues to be worked out:
*How long the paint would have an effect, since it wouldn't be fair to have a player at a disadvantage forever.
*Percent chance to successfully drench an opponent.
 
So does this idea have a chance, or should I ditch it now? Are there any improvements anyone can suggest?

amusing but insanely out of genre. I mean people walking around glowing the dark?? That sort of genre warping stuffs belongs on [[Halloween]].--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 02:07, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 
For realism, a way to get rid of it? At least sooner, rather than later? And you would be to be outside, in a lit building, or perhaps anywhere but a dark building. (That paint needs to be 'charged' first. Would it come "pre-charged"? As in, if someone were already in a dark building and covered in paint in a dark building?) {{User:Dr Cory Bjornson/Sig}} 02:46, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
I like the idea of paint but its just a one use way to kill someone in a dark building... As is you would just need to carry a can and then for 1 AP you double your chance to hit (dark is half to hit?) Perhaps if the labels were missing or obscured (or in chinese?) and only 1 in 10 paint tins were glow in the dark?
:Anyway i think having the painted victim leave a trail "Someone covered in blue paint went North" would be a better option (though if the paint is flouresent why not both?) As for removing the paint have each action tested as if the thrower was using a spray can... paint runs out and they get a message saying they managed to get the last of the wet paint off. Clothes should probably be ruined though for it to make sense and that is going to get people complaining. --[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 09:54, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

25% accuracy, 1 damage.
 
Special functions are that you can use a paint can to cover graffiti in rooms. Using it uses up the paint can. Plus, when you swing it, there is a 25% chance the target will be covered in paint. Getting covered in paint has no effects, other than listing them differently, e.g. "There are 15 zombies here. 4 of them are covered in flourescent paint"
 
No, the paint does not glow in the dark.

====Discussion (Paint can)====
I can't see any blaring issue with it, except you might want to change the flavor text. Florescent generally means "glowing in dark" [[User:Linkthewindow|<span style="color: DodgerBlue">Linkthewindow</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Linkthewindow|<span style="color: DarkRed">Talk</span>]] [[Malton College of Medicine|<span style="color: Blue">MCM</span>]] </sup> 10:07, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 
A useless melee weapon which has one (possibly) redeeming feature, the ability to cover zombies in paint. Somehow I doubt this would pass. It just doesn't really add that much, not that it wouldn't be funny to run across some zombies drenched in paint. :P - [[User:Whitehouse]] 10:49, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
:Well, I did go for the humour with this one. --{{User:Blake Firedancer/sig}} 03:35, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 
You can already cover graffiti in rooms with a spray can, with only the usual chance to use up the spray can. Fluorescent paint might be a laugh, but IMO this suggestion as written would never pass voting due to being use-impaired. {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 11:03, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 
It's pretty pointless and a massive dupe of ingame with it's main function (covering graffiti), the other stuff is flavour and irrelevant, no one'd use it anyway for 25%...--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 23:19, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
:How about 50% then? --{{User:Blake Firedancer/sig}} 03:35, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 
You can already use a spray can to cover up graffiti, so that's a dupe (is it? if an effect is already ingame then it must be a dupe), and the rest is pretty funny (who wouldn't want to drench a zombie in paint?) but fairly useless flavor. If I want that damage, I'll just punch someone. Although fluorescent paint might have an interesting use... --{{User:Pestolence/Sig}} 01:07, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
:Yes, but don't you need to write ''other'' graffiti in order to cover graffiti? This saves the hassle of having to make up something just to over-write what's already there. --{{User:Blake Firedancer/sig}} 03:35, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
::If your intending to write graffiti (if even to just cover over what is there) you already, most likely, have something in mind.  If not, you can just type gibberish. So big deal, it is a non-issue.--[[User:Pesatyel|Pesatyel]] 05:06, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

|'''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.

:The Peer Reviewed suggestion is vastly superior to this one. This suggestion doesn't save AP; although it arguably lets you store it up at a 1:1 ratio, that just means you spend even longer stocking – rather counter-productive for a "speed" suggestion, don't you think? – and as there is no mention of encumbrance, I presume it doesn't save any inventory space, either. It's a decent idea, but it's been theoretically done better, and firearms haven't been changed in practice for a long time now. {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 05:26, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 
Definitely dupe. And would be voted down anyway. Firearms don't need a boost right now. Remember that last update? That would kinda indicate that Kevan thought survivors and their pesky firearms were too good already. Thus: leave it. - [[User:Tylerisfat|tylerisfat]] 22:37, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

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).

:The night vision goggles you can put on in forts are broken to prevent any perception of potential usefulness. There have already been suggestions for increasing hit rates/search rates in dark buildings using a variety of methods such as flashlights/torches, and your suggestion is only different in that you say, "night vision goggles," instead of, "flashlight." Your suggestion will fail because it would turn dark dark buildings from zombie nerf to unbelievably overpowered zombie nerf. It would take away almost all of the drawbacks and totally skews the balance of the game. There is also not a single PKer or (reasonably intelligent) PKer target who would vote for this, as it takes away from the safety that dark buildings offer.--[[User:William Told|William Told]] 00:56, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 
Your acting like I want to have the night vision goggles replace generators completely. They would only give a small boosts to fighting and finding things, generators would still be extremely important and since you can only find night vision goggles in two places, and the likely hood of finding night vision goggles would be small.

I'm ok with a ''small'' boost for survivors (maybe a zombie skill to balance,) but night vision goggles '''should never''' replace generators.

|suggest_description=The addition of sewers, tunnels, or an "underground" in general, would add interest to the game--effectively creating a two-level map--allowing surviors and zombies to move not only throughout surface locations but also underneath them. Manhole covers could be closed in order to serve as a simple type of barricade. In addition to outdoor manholes on streets, certain building types (like factories and junkyards) could have manholes inside, allowing not only alternate entry/exit points to/from EHB locations for survirors without free running skills but also allowing alternate entry points for attacking zombies. Buildings with a manhole could both become harder to defend, requiring the maintenance of two barricades--one on the door and one on the manhole--but also easier to escape when surrounded. Survivors and zombies on the surface could hear others passing underneath their locations, adding flavor and additional interest. GPS devices and mobile phones could be disabled when underground.

Q: If it wastes AP, what is the point?


--{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 20:48, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
A: It will be useful if you want to carry around an extra stash of items, such as FAKs and Revivification Syringes, or if you are going far away from any resource buildings and need some extra supplies.


This has been suggested and shot down just like attempts to make the railways accessible. I am still in favor but most folks are really against it. [[User:DrakonMacar|Chaplain Drakon Macar]] 01:36, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

|suggest_type=New Skill and Weapon
|suggest_scope=Survivors
|suggest_description= This suggestions revolves around a new "firearm": The bow and arrow.
'''Bow and Arrow'''
base damage-4
encumberance-(bow)6%, (arrow)4%
base accuracy-5%
Bows and arrows can be found in gun stores(15-30%), because I think at least some gun stores would be hunting stores, and hunting stores usually have a heavy supply, and in schools(5-10%), because schools sometimes have archery clubs. You must use 3 AP to fire the bow: 1. find an arrow.2. load the arrow.3.fire the arrow. The bow can only hold 1 arrow at a time, but there is no limit to how many arrows you can have. I don't want to make this weapon a firearm, because basically, it isn't. Yet, I still think the bow and arrow should still be affected by a flak jacket. and I don't think that the regular military would train their soldiers in use of the bow and arrow. that is why I am suggesting a few new zombie hunter skills, all being under an archery skill tree, mainly because I'd think survivors of an outbreak would use any weaponry possible in a desperate situation.
'''Skills'''
(available level 15)''Archery''- the chance to hit with a bow and arrow increases by 25%.
(skill tree under Archery)''Stronger Pull''- increases bow and arrow damage by 3.
(skill tree under Archery)''Fluid Motion''- no longer requires AP to load a bow with an arrow.
(skill tree under Archery)''Extensive Bow Training''- increases accuracy by 30%.
(skill tree under Extensive Bow Training)''Target Practice''- Increases accuracy by 10%
(final skill under Archery)''Dead Aim''-2-3% chance of landing a hit dealing double the damage(i.e. normal hit-7, Dead Aim- 14)
I know that last skill may sound unfair, but I didn't crunch any numbers there. If anyone would like to crunch numbers for this suggestion to make the gameplay more fair, be my guest. Plus take in the encumberance for 1 arrow. thats alot comparing to a shotgun shell....I think. This brings me to my next point: a quiver. A quiver takes 10% encumberance, and holds 10 arrows. having an arrow in a quiver makes it drop to 2% encumberance, which in total makes 30% encumbered if you have a fully loaded quiver. Again, you must load the quiver with the arrows, because they don't fall into the quiver themselves. And you can only hold one quiver.
And finally, to my last point. Arrows aren't like many long distance weapons. If you get hit with an arrow, it sticks into you. therefore my last suggestion is a type of "reverse infection." When a survivor or zombie gets hit with an arrow, an option will allow you to pull out an arrow. any action you make without pulling out the arrow, you lose 1 HP. A person can be stuck with 3 arrows maximum. removing an arrow still inflicts damage on you. so if you had 1 arrow stuck in you, when you take it out, ou lose 1 HP. if you have 3 arrows stuck in you, and you pull out 1, you lose 3 HP.
As posting a suggestion here, I am happy to consider any revision of this suggestion of mine. Now, berate away and tell me the flaws in my design. Let the onslaught begin.

Interesting touch...but out of genre. [[User:DrakonMacar|Chaplain Drakon Macar]] 01:20, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
I don't mind new weapons if done properly.  This one isn't.  Requiring 3 AP to use means it should be a powerful weapon in some way to require that many points.  And, yes it IS a firearm because a fiream (basically speaking) is a projectile launcher. in the context of UD, its moot though because the factor that defines a "gun" compared to melee is range.  A quiver won't work the same way shotgun shell bandoleers won't work.  Why would a person pull out an arrow if its going to do damage?  I'd just leave it in.--[[User:Pesatyel|Pesatyel]] 05:39, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
Technically, NO, it is not a firearm, because firearms use a sort of an explosive charge to fire. But when i meant that it wasn't a firearm, but that it wasn't similar to most firearms. In guns, you pull a trigger. In a bow, you pull back a string and it requires strength and percision. Also, I am a person of compromise, after all, this is only my second suggestion. I really hope to bring this to voting, and i'll change dozens of points brought forth that make sense to me, so i could take out the fluid motion skill and just have an arrow in your inventory and be able to fire, or increase the damage a bow and arrow makes(but to me that seems improbable that a person with no bow training could make a strong and accurate shot so easily.)-- [[User:Yungblood|Yungblood]] 08:23 November 8, 2008 (EST)

|suggest_type=New Skill & Item
|suggest_scope=Survivors
|suggest_description=This suggestion covers a new Military skill based around thrown projectiles to be used as weapons.
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.
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.

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?

|suggest_scope=Zombies
|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.
* '''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.
* '''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.
* '''Cost in AP''': One AP, same as the other zombie attacks.
*'''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 will not lose a 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.

|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.

Ignore based on Radio Broadcast

Timestamp: Khwud (talk) 17:27, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
Type: UI enhancement
Scope: Interface
Description: Allow 'ignore' from radio broadcasts; users are hiding behind their anonymity to allow them to broadcast things that would broadly trigger them to be ignored, if their user ID was visible. Adding their name, or an auto-generated call-sign (it is for a radio, after all) or something so that they could be blocked based on their broadcasts would help user experience. In addition, and broadcasts that get more than a threshold number could get tagged for review, and the user potentially having their (in-game) ham-license revoked.

Shrink the map

Timestamp: --UroguyTMZ 16:28, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
Type: Map change
Scope: Everyone
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.

Action Points

Timestamp: User:Wolldog1 10:07, 26 July 26, 2022
Type: Action Points Increase Regeneration Rate
Scope: Everyone
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.

Discussion (Action Points)

Drone

Timestamp: RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 19:10, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
Type: Survivor Item
Scope: Survivors
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.

Discussion (Drone)

Would there be a message displayed to the players to the effect of "there's a drone buzzing overhead", similar to a flare? --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 02:19, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Backpack

Timestamp: Wild Crazy (talk) 20:55, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
Type: New item
Scope: Survivors
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).


Q: Wouldn't this buff survivors, since they can carry more bullets and kill more zombies?

A: Since it costs an AP to add and remove an item, it wastes a lot of AP to put bullet clips in your backpack if you are planning on using them right away.


Q: If it wastes AP, what is the point?

A: It will be useful if you want to carry around an extra stash of items, such as FAKs and Revivification Syringes, or if you are going far away from any resource buildings and need some extra supplies.


Please give your thoughts.
