|'''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.

The IP limit applies to all of us, human zombie no matter. And it says you are only allowed 160 ''actions'' per day.
 
So why does the hit limit apply to clicking options such as 'logging in/out', 'buy skills' and 'settings'. I propose that the IP limit be restricted to in game actions.
 
Is it a dupe???

Good idea. You can target nearly every action on a specific player, so I can't see why corpses should be any different. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 11:30, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

|'''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.

|'''Type:''' Survivor Item
|suggest_description=This makes two kinds of syringes: Manufactured and Found.
|-
 
|'''Scope:''' Survivors
Manufactured syringes, called 'Adv. Revivification Syringes' are more efficient as they are engineered to combat the zombie virus as it currently is, instead of the regular ones which were designed to combat the virus as it was before, and as such adv. syringes bring you back with 3/4 of your health (37/50, or 45/60.) instead of 1/2.
|-
 
|'''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.
Other than that adv. sytinges have the same properties as regular ones.

====Discussion (Drone)====
====Discussion (Efficient Syringe)====
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)
This would give some benefit to the currently useless ability to manufacture syringes for 20 AP. I can't see anything wrong with it. --{{User:Pestolence/Sig}} 02:57, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 
Pretty much as what Pestolence said, and what I said to the extremely similar suggestion here the other day. Just as long as it doesn't cure infection... {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 05:54, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 
No. Takes xp away from newbie survivors who go out to heal, and not combat the zombies day-in, day-out and provides more xp to zombies from those new survivors who get locked out on the street after getting a revive. As well it combines the main effect of two items into one super-item that in certain situations could be gotten for less AP (actually finding a hospital and searching for the 1-3 FAKs on top of getting the syringe), provide a better healing function when hospitals are all ruined (NT's have a back and forth mentality to them more-so then hospitals and are in higher regard to be defended) and relieve the user of several IP hits to get the items, as well as a one shot administeer process for a max of 4 items usually taken. In the end it hurts newbies more then the health drop, and buffs up senior players in mass-ruin situations. As well the move from a gauranteed syringe to a gauranteed syringe/FAK is a bit much. At least healing infection is a minor function that '''doesn't''' effect all players to begin with for several reasons.--[[User:G-Man|G-Man]] 20:44, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
:Oh, I forgot to mention the drop in encumberance this would allow for dedicated members of groups who both revive and heal they're undead players. An effect felt most on those who work together in large groups, but not truly given to those who choose to go it alone. Allowing those who can do the most damage, the capicity to do so for more ammo resulting in more zombies getting kicked out of buildings easier. The change has the potential to be massive in effect even for such a little thing.--[[User:G-Man|G-Man]] 20:49, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
::The people using these syringes did have to spend 20ap per syringe though. It's hardly a walk in the park, or fun game play for that matter.--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 22:40, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
:::You are bitching about 20 AP when you are one of the idiots repairing 100+ ruins? WTF?--[[Image:Globetrotters_Icon.png|15px]] '''[[User:DCC/Suggestions|#99]]'''  <sup>''[[User:DCC|DCC]] ''</sup> 15:36, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
::::I'm sorry? Since when were people repairing buildings idiots? --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 15:46, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
:::::I think he's calling survivors idiots not for repairing buildings, but for letting them get to the point where it takes 100AP ''to'' repair the building instead of striking quicker.--[[User:G-Man|G-Man]] 12:28, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 
:::That 20AP is now overshadowed by the fact you don't have to spend 20AP to fix the hospital in a ruined suburb, god knows how much AP clearing out the zombies inside, 7-15AP searching for the FAK's regardless of the two previvous options, 8AP searching for the syringe, as well as the AP to move inbetween the two buildings and the possibility to heal an extra 15HP '''outside''' a powered hospital. As well the convinence of meeting up with the survivor after the revive to actually heal them is now overlooked to an instant heal and up to 3AP saved there to administer the FAK's. Mind you it is limited to revivies instead of alive survivors, but most of the wounded come from those revived anyway. It may sound good at a glance but the benefits it provides are insane, and it would save '''Much''' more AP in the end then it takes.--[[User:G-Man|G-Man]] 02:29, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
 
Wow, this retarded idea is one step away from needles you can use on your self. Just because you spend more AP on it it doesn't mean it has to be better. That's insane. So by that logic the more AP you spend searching for a bullet the more damage it will do?  What's the point? (other than to shut the whining survivors up) Leave manufactured syringes as a last ditch effort like they are meant to be. --[[Image:Globetrotters_Icon.png|15px]] '''[[User:DCC/Suggestions|#99]]'''  <sup>''[[User:DCC|DCC]] ''</sup> 23:53, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
::I don't think it's a bad idea per say, but, to have even a slight chance of getting it through the suggestions page, you should point out that the manufactured syringes do not cure infections. As to G-Man's point on dedicated groups - I thought it was generally agreed that suggestions that encouraged coordination were a good thing? [[User:Sanpedro|Sanpedro]] 00:06, 27 November 2008 (UTC) 
:::This doesnt encourage coordination. the benefit is only recieved by the reviver who would normaly have to carry more FAK's for the heal after if they act as the healer in a group, not the revive-ie who can receive the benefit regardless by needing less FAK's to heal themselves no matter what group, if any they're assiociated with as this provides enough benefits to become the main syringes used. In the end they have more space to store ammo, while the reviver has more room for ultra-syringes creating a double headed spear, further against the zombie hoard. Whats worse, thats just in the act of reviving, on top of the other benefits I mentioned above that have to be weighed with this in mind as well. Im sorry but this is rediculous in the face of whats in place.--[[User:G-Man|G-Man]] 02:29, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
::OOOOHHHH!! YEAH! WEZ SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE THESZ BULLETS LIKE IN WANTED!!! OMGZ!!! THEN THEY CAN BE SNIPER BULLETS SHOOTING THROUGH CITY BLOCKS AND ONE HITS KILLZ! MAKE THEM COST 10 AP! THAT MAKES IT FAIR!>!>@!@.
::I Apoligize for what i just typed. Even though it was a joke... it was painful. - [[User:Tylerisfat|tylerisfat]] 03:24, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
:No DCC, it's the fact that the syringe is newer than the one you found, that'd been sitting on the shelf for who knows how long, gathering dust is what makes it more effective. A lot of medicines have a 'Best Before' date too, y'know. --{{User:Blake Firedancer/sig}} 09:34, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
::That explanation doesn't fit this sugestion. The syringes currently sitting on shelfs, aviable since the start of the outbreak still do the same work, not less as that situation would inspire (With the manufactured having the current effect), or more then the manufactured based on the time having an effect on the contents. This proposed change is basicly a change in the formula to the new syringes, or else the old syringes would have to be changed as well in one way or another ''without'' the manufactured syringes changed.--[[User:G-Man|G-Man]] 12:01, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
:::Your grasping at straws there. Syringes have already been changed multiple times since their initial form. For a start they used to only cost 1AP to use but be a fair bit rarer. The excuse when the AP cost changed was that the Zombies were growing immune and thus required a larger dose. Dropping the revive cost is always shouted down so the only way for manufactured syringes to be improved is to tinker with their effect and that means one of 3 options; chance to cure infection, increased stand up health or chance to work on rotters. Personally i prefer the chance to cure infection as it makes the most sense, it also further nerfs an already pretty weak skill so its not going to pass. this suggestion goes to far on the HP thing but i could see merit in it increasing stand up health by 5. Reviving rotters has never been suggested and its probably a good job too as even thinking about DCC's response makes me shudder ;) --[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 19:07, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
::::Giving it the ability to give health, even 5 makes it the equilivant of a new users FAK on top of a revive. Two items combined into one super-item isn't always a good idea, especially when they're seperate for a reason. Health change just doesn't cut it as a viable option. Chance to revive rotters goes against the entire point of that skill, so the best option is probably to find a way for infection to be a better skill (Note to readers:That does not mean it takes away more health, its been proposed mannny times before) and then have the manufactered syringe as the main counter to the change. Even if the infection can not be healed before someone stands is a start as it often happens anyway (At least from my experience) and FAK's only have a chance to heal an infection. Or a chance for infection to kick in when someone dies by the claws of an attacker, and a slight increase to the chance to bite could be another option. Mind you each comes with its own problems, and assoiciated mishaps however I don't think it should be passed until it has a viable counter to its increase (even if its an existing one) so its somewhat evened out for a change to something thats worked for over a year (I've never run into problems with this system), unlike this suggestion which buffs the survivor population on several fronts to throw them further on top of the ladder just by sitting in there local NT instead of at least moving between there and the local hospital.--[[User:G-Man|G-Man]] 12:24, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
:::::There you have hit on the nub of the problem, many feel that manufactured syringes should be better than found ones but all the options to do so could cause a significant shift in balance. I think what is needed is for infection cures to no longer be automatic... I remember discussing an improved infection (Virulent Infection?) where we wanted to give Faks a % chance to cure. Don't think we finalised numbers because it didn't look likely to pass but I would still support something on those lines because it would make for a more scary game.--[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 12:33, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 
this a bad idea because it's a revive plus a couple of FAKs in a spiffy new all-in-one package. however, i want to point out that going on about how easy survivors have it and how hard it is for zombies, waaah waah waah like DCC (or whichever goon it is, they all look alike to me :P )... you're dinosaurs. with the recent updates, the balance has been shifted. playing the survivor hard is a LOT harder now than it used to be. which is a good thing. and the game isn't perfectly balanced. but the days of screaming about the huge AP imbalance are over. though, like bell bottoms and big hair and arena rock, i'm sure it'll make a kitchy comeback... --[[User:WanYao|WanYao]] 15:59, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

|suggest_scope=All Players
|'''Type:''' New item
|suggest_description= Whilst I am aware there is a whole page for Urban Dead IRC channels I feel the game could potentially benefit from an '''offical''' IRC channel. By official I actually mean one that Kevan supports by including a link to it next to the News/FAQ/Wiki/Donate buttons.  
|-
|'''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).


I don't feel this will nerf other forms of communication because IRC chat will only be avalible if you are connected, where as Radio/Talk have a history stored for you to read when you log in. This means that IRC should only be useful to people acting in Real Time with each other and although this is a rare occurance it would greatly enhance the experiance because players can now interact more fluidly whilst playing together and saving chat AP for when they really need to talk or announce something for people who are not online.

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.


No, it would be spammed to hell, or just be completely inactive. There are a few [[IRC|general purpose]] channels, but they don't seem to active. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 10:31, 25 November 2008 (UTC)


IRC is easy to find and do, if it's your schtick, you'll go there. If it's not, you shouldn't really bother... As the saying goes:" you can lead a Mrh? cow to brainz, but you can't force him to barg"... --[[User:WanYao|WanYao]] 23:55, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
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.

|suggest_description= I was wondering, Since I started the [[Galaxy News Radio]] i've found that the very small amount of characters you can use is at best, a thorn in my side, couldn't it be possible to make the transmission amount of characters the same as for speaking, it makes perfect sense really. I understand that the limit is there to stop spamming of the radio channels, however they can still spam, just it takes more ap, and if it takes up a new line everytime they broadcast something, it probably makes more of a mess. Not to mention something like this would greatly benifit the many radio stations around the cities.
 
I appologise if this has been brought up before in suggestions, and if it has feel free to delete it.

====Discussion (Review the character limit for radio tranmissions.)====
Sounds kind of dupey, but I'm pretty sure the limit is there from a technical point of view. Only the people in your current building can see speech, while everyone with a transmitter can see radio. I guess it may be there to save Kevan bandwidth. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 05:16, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

No way! Can you imagine how much more pure, unadulterated GARBAGE this would create? Imagine Real Gamer, Timmy the Trenchie, those counting people on 28.01, and all the noobs who ask for help or broadcast things like "Come to the fire station we have ammoz!!1" on the radio. Now imagine them broadcasting 3 or 4 times as much crap as they do now.

Once, you run out of AP, you are given the message 'You are asleep' for humans and 'You are swaying slightly' for zombies. The page is then useless and you can no longer interact with the game. My suggestion is that you will still be able to view your inventory, but the list is no longer in 'button' style. Also, you can drop any item as you would if you still had AP. This would give survivors a chance to drop what they were to busy to drop while in-game.


If this is a dupe, then I'm sorry. I'm horrible at searching for dupes.
Please give your thoughts.

What's the point?  You can drop stuff once you get AP back, and there's never really any hurry to drop stuff.  {{User:Swiers/Sig}} 04:18, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

===Bloody Clothing V.2===
{{suggestionNew
|suggest_time={{User:Galaxy125/Sig}}20:22, 22 November 2008 (UTC), changed to v.2 11:47, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
|suggest_type=Minor Improvement - Clothing Adjustment
|suggest_scope=Survivors.
|suggest_description=I propose that blood-flecked, blood-stained and blood-soaked clothing reduce the infection-curing powers of the FAK when the FAK is administered outside of a lit hospital.  Specifically, I suggest that blood-flecked clothing reduce the likelihood that an FAK will cure an infection by 15% , blood-stained by 25%, and blood-soaked by 35%.  The bloodiness value of the most-bloody article of clothing is used to gauge this.
This will have no effect on the amount of XP acquired through healing fellow survivors, as I wouldn't want to penalize survivors for healing their fellow person.
This is motivated by the unhygienic qualities of bloody clothing, and is meant solely as a realism boost.  It is assumed that in a lit hospital, survivors would have sufficient time and wherewithal to strip dirty clothing from the antivirus injection site.
|discussion=|}}
====Discussion (Bloody Clothing V.2)====
This would be way too confusing, since the survivor would appear to have two different HP totals at the same time. --{{User:Pestolence/Sig}} 20:32, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
I'd have to agree with Pestolence.  We would have EVERYONE wearing bloody clothes.  What's the hinderance to that?--[[User:Pesatyel|Pesatyel]] 22:04, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
If infection cure was not 100% and bloody clothing reduced the chances further i could see a point... as is its just a confusiong fluff for no good (in game) reason. --[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 01:08, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Oooh, precedents (thank you Midianian!), but I agree with WanYao, Pestolence, Pesatyel and Honestmistake that it's too confusing.  However, Honestmistake had an interesting (and far less confusing) idea for having bloody clothing partially prevent infection cures.  I'll update the suggestion/idea to reflect that.  Thank you all so far for your input, and I would appreciate more.  --{{User:Galaxy125/Sig}}11:38, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Just create a new character and capitalize a letter or add a number at the end. big freaking deal.
Although, i wouldn't be so opposed to kevan doing a death purge of any character that hasn't been logged in for a year or more, to free up some names. - [[User:Tylerisfat|tylerisfat]] 21:26, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
:That is something i fully support... I also can't see why we cant have the same names in different cities/maps but that is a different matter!--[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 00:33, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
::That'd leave to confusion. What if a new guy rocked up and created Finis Valorum (coz he liked star wars like that) and then got PKed constantly and had zerging allegations threw at him. Far better to just create another name, there's still truckloads of them out there. In regards to this suggestion, nah, extra work for kevan and you might change your mind again. Create another character if you want.--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 00:37, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
:::I understand all the reasons to ban same names in same cities but in the case of new maps it just doesn't work..... sure a new Finis will probably get whacked (i waved at him myself?) but so will "finis valorum 99" or whatever... If there can be no transfer then there should be no name blocking... for gruds sake the new map dies in about a week so name blocking romm themis a real pain!--[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 01:04, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

:::::Same names in different cities could easily cause trouble. I certainly wouldn't want anyone running around in another city with the same name as my character in Malton. It's natural to assume that they're controlled by the same player. Anything they do there is going to be reflected on my character in Malton.

::I think it would be problematic.  The profile interface is very simplistic.  Having "Bob" 3 times with different classes and skills would just be too complicated and also unncessary.  I mean there is already an infinite number of names out there.  But I DO like Tyler's idea of deleting the oldest unused characters.--[[User:Pesatyel|Pesatyel]] 05:33, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

===Look inside/outside===
{{suggestionNew
|suggest_time={{User:Blake Firedancer/sig}} 09:21, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
|suggest_type=Ability
|suggest_scope=All players
|suggest_description=Allows anyone, regardless of living/dead status, to look inside/outside of buildings, ''so long as there are no barricades and the doors are open.''
This adds a new button, labelled "Look through doors". By looking through the open doors, you can get a basic idea of what is awaiting you inside/outside. You cannot see outside graffiti from inside, but from the outside you can spot bloodstains and graffiti, but you are not close enough to read the graffiti, nor are you able to make out how much blood there is.
You can spot players through open doors, but the following rules apply:
*If there is less than 5 people present, you will not spot them.
*If there is between 5 and 9 people present (inclusive), then you have a 10% chance of getting the message 'Through the open doors, you see something move.'
*If there is 10 to 14 people present (inclusive), there is a 25% chance you get the message 'Through the open doors, you see something large shifting around'.
*If there is 15 to 19 people present, there is a 50% chance you get the message 'Through the open doors, you see what appears to be a group of people'.
*If there is 20 or more people present, you will get the message 'Through the open doors, you spot a large group of people'.
When I say 'people' , I mean both zombies and humans.
This does nerf the Hiding in Plain Sight strategy somewhat, however only if you're in a large group.

:The chances of a building with 20+ survivors inside having DWO is pretty low. Likewise 20+ zombies in a building would probably give clues outside. (It being ruined or the windows being smeared with bloody handprints. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 09:42, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, if the doors are open, it'd be a better option to just enter the building and see everything and peek inside and get a vaugue description, assuming this suggestion requires AP. --{{User:Yungblood/Sig}} 7:54, 20 November 2008 (EST)
I think if this was a freebie for whoever brings down the last level of cades (if they have MOL) or closes the door then i would say yes but as a generic freebie for all its not so good.--[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 22:07, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
Pretty useless; why not just enter the building? This also is Xray vision, which is a huge no no. --{{User:Pestolence/Sig}} 01:25, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

===Zombies In The Water===
{{suggestionNew
|suggest_time=[[User:Maunder|Maunder]] 04:37, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
|suggest_type=environment interaction
|suggest_scope=Zombies
|suggest_description=
Zombies should be able to walk in deep water (eg, style c85 "a river") that survivors cannot, as in Borehamwood.  They're not breathing, after all, and haven't we seen them emerging from rivers and ponds etc in the movies?  An automatic ability for anyone in a zombified state.  Survivors are still prevented from entering deep water, with a message about the current or being weighed down by equipment, or even just '''You think about entering the deep water, but it looks too dangerous'''.
To slow them down a little, it should take Zombies an extra AP to enter a deep water (so 3AP without Lurching Gait, 2AP with).
Zombies in deep river would be invisible to anyone not in a deep water square themselves.  Zombies in the deep river would be able to see others in deep water, since they're all underwater, but no one in shallow water or on land.  Basically a deep water region of more than one block becomes visibly distinct from the surface and shallow-water area, just like being inside a multi-block building.
Zombies can attack other zombies in the deep water, but damage from claws or melee weapons will be reduced by 2 points (but not below zero).  Bite attacks work normally.
|discussion=|}}
====Discussion (Zombies In The Water)====
most humans can swim, i wouldn't worry too much about logic.--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 05:02, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
Borehamwood is a temporary city so adding suggestions for it is pointless. Also, Malton has no water.  But as said, why can't survivors swim across too?  Then you have to deal with the ramifications of the water.  What about water/underwater combat?  Are zombies "invisible" underwater?--[[User:Pesatyel|Pesatyel]] 05:11, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
:It is a river, perhaps the curent of the river is too strong for survivors to swim? As for no water in Malton, there is supposedly a "river" to the North, its just that the map would need to be expanded, which is possible in the future, even if it doesn't happen in the near future.--[[User:G-Man|G-Man]] 19:57, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
::The river doesn't appear in the game, and if the current is too strong for survivors to swim, then how would zombies, who are supposedly slower and clumsier than humans, manage it? --{{User:Pestolence/Sig}} 01:45, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
::"Supposedly" is nothing and that doesn't counter the whole host of other things necessary to consider, as I stated.--[[User:Pesatyel|Pesatyel]] 02:09, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
:::@Pestolance, think World War Z and the zeds in oceans, yes this is different but its a good example, the zombies are merely grounded, not trying to swim, which would be a huge difference. @Pesatyel, yes those would have to be considered, but this is still a start, and can be justified as just zombies with the ability to move through, as well as a possible spot in Malton that could be opened up in the future. It is something interesting to explore for future maps or additions to Malton and shoulden't be shot down so quickly.--[[User:G-Man|G-Man]] 03:09, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
:Thank you for your responses, which cause me to elucidate my thoughts a bit further.  I wanted to change one aspect of a map's dynamics and tactics, without changing the direct player interaction any: survivors can be "cornered" in a space bounded by deep water, but zombies cannot.  Survivors cannot depend on a few access bridges as defensive choke points.  I'm not trying for "realism" about how people should interact with water, so I'm not even going to suggest a rationale behind it other than its effects on game play.  The consequence of my suggestion as it stands is that zombies could attack each other normally while in the deep river, but they'd have no interaction with survivors because there can't be any survivors there.  You can think about changing combat in the water if you want to, or allowing humans to enter it too, but my proposal doesn't suggest that.  If you're going to criticize my suggestion, shouldn't you actually address what I suggested?  Or if you really think the suggestion ought to include those changes, can you explain why it's better that way, or what my suggestion lacks on its own? -- [[User:Maunder|Maunder]] 03:00, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
::Furthermore, even though it won't have a big impact on Malton as it stands, it's a relatively simple rule adjustment to implement and understand, and would have interesting effects for any future maps with deep water, whether they be short-term or long-standing (and may inspire the design of such maps!). -- [[User:Maunder|Maunder]] 03:00, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
:::Details are important to shoot down those who will vote down your susgestion based only on the lack of them. They expect rational situations and any sugestion (even here) to cover all bases, so it is imperitive that the suggested problems by Pesatyel be addressed. It makes sense so only the best suggestions make it through, that all players will be happy with, even if the suggestion system is broken based on voters taking sides instead of a neutral point of view. Don't worry, just figure out how those situations fit into your sugestion and then ask for comment on your proposed solutions. Even a basic idea can help someone here figure something out. Personnely I would have no survivors in the water, and zombies "invisible" in all spaces except for a few exceptions.
*When in the same space as another zombie, all zombies are visible.
*Zombies in a nearby water space to another zombie will be counted as "blurred images", and no accurate numbers will be given.
*Any survivors next to a water space have a "blurred image" of any zombies in adjacent water spaces.
*Any zombies in a water space have a "blurred Image" of any survivors/zombies on dry land.
:::As well I would go with the ability to attack, but no damage done or xp recieved, due to water slowing the blows. As for the actual message given to survivors, "''You think about entering the water, but realise the current is too strong to swim across''"--[[User:G-Man|G-Man]] 03:20, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
:Okay I think some of these suggested changes are reasonable: invisibility, anyway, fits with the basic idea.  Biting attacks would still work, and I'm not sure claws would be hindered much by the water either -- perhaps lower damage on them.  But I'm wary of anything which over-complicates the suggestion, because that's less likely to get implemented.  I'm dubious about a "blurred" image-- what would that look like?  Doesn't sound easy to implement.  So what do I do, change the suggestion as its written (making this discussion look moot), or submit a new one, or...? -- [[User:Maunder|Maunder]] 21:10, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
::The lack of claws hitting is to make it so xp can't be gained from the "safety" of the water, where they are completly untouchable by survivors. As for the blurred image, what I mean is in the text it would say something along the lines of "you see the image of *fellow* zombies in the water nearby (not even a direction given), but can't quite make out how many are located there", or a spin as such.--[[User:G-Man|G-Man]] 02:35, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

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.

Discussion (Shrink the map)

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.
