| |
| |suggest_scope=Re-engage maxed out characters
| |
| |suggest_description=(This suggestion uses Borehamwood as the example, but Monroeville would work equally well to the same effect.)
| |
| | |
| I think that Borehamwood should become accessible to characters that have maxed out their skills in Malton. Make it an option that characters can '''emigrate''' to Borehamwood. They would then start anew as a Lvl 1 in the new city. (No transfer of any weapons, items, etc.)
| |
|
| |
| If you get head-shot in Borehamwood then you would get sent back to Malton and have to start all over again. In which case you would spawn in a random place in Malton as a level 1 newbie all over again.
| |
| | |
| Access gate(s) to Borehamwood should probably be located only in one, or possibly two restricted sites on the periphery Malton.
| |
| | |
| The lack of Necrotech facilities and revives definitely changes the dynamics of how people play the game.
| |
| | |
| There would not longer be a need for people to generate alternate characters to regain that new feeling to the game. It would be built right in.
| |
| | |
| This could add a new dynamic to the game. Many characters loose interest in the game after maxing out in Malton. This could renew their characters and give them something to struggle for. I think this could really cure some of the stagnation in the city. Another advantage of this is that it would really take time for a player to progress all the way through, no one could do this overnight.
| |
| | |
| If someone is not willing to risk starting all over again, then they never have to leave the confines of Malton. Hence emigration is optional for those that fancy a different challenge.

| |suggest_scope=Survivors especially revivers
| |
| |suggest_description= This suggestion is to possibly add another button when DNA extracting zombies that are in groups. Right now you can only DNA extract the first zombie you see, and sometimes its either a brain rotter or a known PKer or GKer. You may want to scan another zombie but it will come up with the same result as before and scan the same zombie. Just recently I scanned a know PKer and I heard that I shouldn't revive him. I killed the zombie but it turned out not to be the PKer and therefore have accidentally killed a zombie waiting for revive.
| |
| | |
| What I suggest is, after scanning a zombie and checking the zombies details, there should be an extra button placed saying 'DNA extract another zombie'. Therfore you can pick and choose which zombie to revive and avoid brain rotters and PKers.
| |
| |discussion=|}}
| |
| ====Discussion (DNA extract another zombie)====
| |
| I am certain this is a dupe or at the very least something that was on this page not too long ago. While it makes logical sense this would destroy a rotters ability to block revive lines which is a very valid and useful tactic. As for Pkers etc... they don't actually block the line and once scanned you can scan again and get a different zombie unless someone has already scanned em all. --[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 16:38, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| When did DNA extraction change? You DO know that you can keep scanning zombies in a stack, right? If there are 5 zombies in the stack, you can scan all 5. If the 3rd zombie in the stack is a zombie, you can keep trying until you get a sucess, then you can scan zombies 4 and 5. The only thing that will stop you is if some of the zombies in the stack are already scanned (in which case you keep getting the same zombie) OR if you get sick of failures on a rotter. In other words, this is already IN the game.--[[User:Pesatyel|Pesatyel]] 04:40, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

| |suggest_scope="Top Secret Victory Location"
| |
| |suggest_description=You know the problem I have with Iscoriat's sig? It's too short. This suggestion to the game can fix it.
| |
| | |
| In Boreville, there is a building known as Big Brother House, which I will classify as a "Victory Location". One of the main goal of the game is to find this "Victory Location", spend an AP to write in the logbook, and then wait a while to 'Profit'. The problem is that once you find out this "Victory Location", there is nothing else to do. So, instead, I state for Victory Locations to be moved every once in a while, to provide a challenge.
| |
| | |
| Example: Say, in Malton, some stupid NecroTech system operator accidently linked a Library computer up to the NecroNet system. Surviors and Zombies rush around to find this specific Library. Once somebody stumbles into the Library, this person spend 1 AP to access this Library Computer and receive a special message from the NecroTech system operator (to be determined by Kevan). After a while, the NecroTech system operator finds out his error, and shuts down the link to the Library Computer, but in the process, opening up another link at a random NecroTech building. So, there is a chase with differnet people trying to find the next Computer to find more hidden messages.
| |
| | |
| So, moving Victory Locations. That should make Iscoriat's sig bigger.--[[User:ShadowScope|ShadowScope]]<sup>[[User:Kevan|'the true enemy']]</sup> 15:50, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

| | |
| 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 normally as the targets:
| |
| :xxxxx's Zombie
| |
| :yyyyy's Zombie
| |
| :zzzzz's Zombie

| ====Discussion (Pin)====
| |
| | |
| Ok, it's a type of headshot. Now, about the zombie and survivor that are down on the ground, can they be attacked normally by other survivors and non-pinning zeds? Or does a zed have to pin to be able to attack, meaning that survivors who are on the ground are only vulnerable to bite attacks, and possibly what the survivors will do to them. - [[User:Whitehouse]] 22:44, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
| |
| :Zombies can be attacked as normal by any other player. As for pinned survivors... well it's up for discussion, having them only vulnerable to the pinning zombie makes a kind of sense however it is probably easier to have them vulnerable to everybody (it would prevent zombie armour and other abuse) however it is up for you lot to help decide upon.--[[User:Kamikazie-Bunny|Kamikazie-Bunny]] 23:05, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

| This has the potential to be a griefing tool, draining AP if used in realtime.. {{User:Dr Cory Bjornson/Sig}} 00:38, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| Don't fuck with my ap!! Nice flavoury and improved gameplay(ish) idea but this can really screw over survivors, just to stand up would be 5ap. And before the zombie brigade kill me, while a surivivor is in its natural habitat defending a building it could be constantly pinned and targeted. It takes massive effort to headshot a zombie, like 20ap +++ this seems to cost 1ap...--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 00:54, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
| |
| :Agreed. Real time battles may not be a major game feature, but they ARE fun when they happen, especially now that they are fairly well balanced via barricade build blocking etc. The "Infection" skill already does most of that this skill would achieve, without being so overpowering or greiftastic. {{User:Swiers/Sig}} 02:02, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

| Ruins anonymity, you don't get a message telling you which zombie opened the door (thus giving you the one with MoL to shoot at) why should you get it with this? -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 02:24, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
| |
| :I guess you could say that the zombie that uses this skill pays the price of losing its anonymity. However, I also think even with this "cost", a 5:1 AP ratio is rather unbalanced in real-time combat. Maybe put a timer on how often it can be used? (P.S. I think someone may be pretty excited about Left 4 Dead. Just a thought. :P) -- [[User:Ashnazg|Ashnazg]] 1523, 14 November 2008 (GMT)

| |suggest_type=Skill

| |suggest_scope=Zombie
| |
| |suggest_description=[UPDATED VERSION]I changed the name of the skill from Rage to Death Knell by definition is as follows as it's more fitting. "A harbinger of the end, death, or destruction of something." I don't want it to be overtly complex, but here is my thinking. It can only be purchased from zombies after Brain Rot skill is purchased. Once the death knell skill is purchased the zombie can no longer harmanize. The zombie also can deliver a death knell blow _only_ to level 20+ survivors. If a death knell blow was successful and enough to reduce the health to zero, then the dead survivor would need an additional 5 AP to stand up. So this skill is to reward dedicated zombies and get zombies to go after more advanced players, but not inflict any new damage on lower level survivors. I appreciate any and all comments. They have been very helpful.
| |
| | |
| [ORIGINAL VERSION]This is the equal opposite of the Zombie Hunter skill for the Headshot. Now zombies with this skill can inflict their rage against survivors, requiring survivors an extra 5 AP to stand up. I suggest that this skill can only be gained after the Brain Rot skill is purchased as the final death blow to the body of a dedicated zombie. Once the skill is purchased the character can no longer be revived.

| ====Discussion (Death Knell)====
| |
| | |
| 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 [[Suggestions/RejectedNovember2005#Mind_Munch|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.--[[User:MrCarver|MrCarver]] 22:39, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| For a first timer on this page that is a really well balanced and thought out suggestion. I disagree with Ross about that dupe, this is significantly different as it prohibits a zombie from harmanising again. The name isn't great because it duplicates a feature from Borehamwood. My only real concern aside from that is that is people accidentally leave their game open and rather than just getting rot they get this and can't get revived but thats not really a reason to not have something in game...--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 00:59, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| The "dupe" suggestion is THREE YEARS OLD. That's ridiculous. The problem with the suggestion has nothing to do with "dupes". The problem is that this hurts newbies to much. Newbie converts have it even harder than starting Corpses.--[[User:Pesatyel|Pesatyel]] 02:14, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
| |
| :hurts newbies how? --{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 02:28, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
| |
| ::Standup cost of 15. Yes, low level zombies have that already until they get Ankle Grab, but converts (survivors turned zombie) do not even have Vigour Mortis to start with, meaning their attacks are very weak. A lot of killed survivors do not like to play as zombies. We do not need to make it MORE difficult for them, not to mention headshot equivalent zombie skills are retarded because they '''DON'T HURT SURVIVORS'''. They hurt other zombies.-[[User:Pesatyel|Pesatyel]] 07:46, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| The 'dupe' would not have XP loss, that's a relic left over from the original headshot, any addition of a zombie style headshot skill wouldn't have that. There are other dupe out there. I dislike the notion that you have to be dedicated to zombie play in order to get this, as you don't to buy survivor headshot. The overpowering section of this suggestion is the no revives ever criteria, it gives no hope to sieges as the NTs will always be targeted first and they'll be reduced to being 'just another building' to the attackers whilst being prime defence objectives to the defenders, although I despise combat revives, it is a balance in the current game climate. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 02:22, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

| :I don't think many people would actually buy this though, i mean there'll be a few but even a lot of rotters like being able to harmanise whenever they desire.--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 02:28, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

| My main problem with this is that it hurts the zombies in the overall AP war, becase A dead human might become a zombie but of course, a lot are mrh? cowers, so I don't really know, but whatever. maybe if it delayed the time before they could be revived. but I would not get this skill even if I had brain rot. --[[User:Destor|Destor]] 05:56, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

| |
| |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?

| 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.

| Griefing tactic. Go outside, scan the horde, paint every zombie with no harman skills for revive teams. Way to kill zombie recruitment. Survivors will bitch and whine that their precious clothing that they trekked half way across Malton for now has to be replaced.

| A useless melee weapon which has one (possibly) redeeming feature, the ability to cover zombies in paint. Somehow I doubt this would pass.

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.

| | ====Discussion (Shrink the map)==== |
| 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.

| 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)

| | | |'''Scope:''' Everyone |
| 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.
| | |- |
| | | |'''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. |
| 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.
| | ====Discussion (Action Points)==== |
| :: 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.

| | |'''Type:''' New 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:''' 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). |
| * '''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.

I also suggest making this skill cost more then the Normal Head Shot skill.

| |suggest_scope= GPS unit item
| |
| |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.

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.

The Barricades on the outside could only be brought up to Very Strongly not Extremely Heavy due to realism issues. Case and point, would you honestly in a real outbreak be able to make Barricades out side your house so tall that no one could get over them? Just using material lying about barricades that high would be very unlikely… That is the main reason that the barricades only go up to VSB but the other reason is that due to over barricade in some suburbs new players are left out in the streets unprotected and die very often. These outside Barricade could be clambered over by Survivors and used as an outside save haven, while still serving a use to defending buildings if used.
