*''Be sure to check [[Frequently Suggested#The List|The Frequently Suggested List]] and the [[Suggestions Dos and Do Nots | Suggestions Dos and Do Nots]] before you post your idea.'' There you can read about many idea's that have been suggested already, which users should be aware of before posting what could be a '''dupe''', or a duplicate of an existing suggestion. '''These include [[Suggestions/RejectedNovember2005#SMG.2FMachine_Pistol|Machine Guns]] and [[Suggestions/24th-Apr-2007#Rooftops.2C_Sniper_Rifle.2C_and_Sniper_Ammo|Sniper Rifles]]'''.

|'''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.

Developing suggestions that appear to have been abandoned (i.e. two days or longer without any new edits) will be given a warning for deletion. If there are no new edits it will be deleted seven days following the last edit.
 
This page is prone to breaking when there are too many templates or the page is too long, so sometimes a suggestion still under strong discussion will be moved to the [[Developing Suggestions/Overflow1|Overflow]]-page, where the discussion can continue between interested parties.
:'''The following suggestions are currently on the Overflow page:''' ''No suggestions are currently in overflow''.
 
If you are adding a comment to a suggestion that has the deletion warning template please remove the <nowiki>{{SNRV|X}}</nowiki> at the top of the discussion section. This will show that there is active conversation again.

====Discussion (Shrink the map)====
A '''Ravage corpse''' button is now available to zombies when in the presence of dead bodies. When clicked, it gives the message {{udspan|You ravage the corpse.}} This costs 1 AP, the corpse can no longer be fed upon and there is a 5% chance that the zombie will 'find' one of the following items.
*Bone,
*Brain,
*Eye,
*Heart,
*Liver,
*Lung,
*Spleen,
These items have no in game effect and they each have 2% encumbrance. They only act as collectables.

|suggest_description=I noticed something from the suggestion NT Ruins Ruin Rotter Revives (try saying that 10 times fast), found here, http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Suggestion:20090409_NT_Ruins_Ruin_Rotter_Revives, that would support this mechanic.
The CRing makes sense, because you are connecting to an outside source for the ability (NecroNet).  But with Syringe Manufacture, that should require the ability of the lab equipment to do, so having ruined equipment should make it impossible to manufacture syringes.  A few supporting mechanics…


Zombies sweep lab equipment onto the floor.  Afterward, you go inside…You are inside a ruined NT Building. The NecroTech logo is set in the wall behind the front desk, and doors open onto powered-down computer rooms and laboratories. The laboratories have been ruined, with broken equipment smashed to the floor.

====Discussion (No Syringe Manufacture in Ruined NTs)====
|-
Your probably going to get the same "against" arguments that one did as well.  People don't really make syringes, not when finding them is much more efficient.--[[User:Pesatyel|Pesatyel]] 02:43, 20 May 2009 (BST)
|'''Type:''' Action Points Increase Regeneration Rate
:Not in a ruined NT. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 05:20, 20 May 2009 (BST)
|-
::Sure, but it doesn't really take THAT much to do repairs, especially since NTs are so hotly contested, I don't think they stay ruined for very long.  Besides, as Honestmistake said, this more fixes a seeming loophole then a nerf.  I was just pointing out that people will bitch and whine.--[[User:Pesatyel|Pesatyel]] 02:55, 21 May 2009 (BST)
|'''Scope:''' Everyone
:::To the contrary, the more contested a ruined NT is, the harder it is going to be to do repairs. Keep in mind to make syringes more efficient to search for rather than manufacture, you'd need to repair the NT (for whatever AP cost), barricade it, gen and fuel it. That ''could'' take 3 people to do that and not have any AP left over, and that's not counting the clearing of the zombies that might be inside. And to think that after all that, the players won't have the AP left over to search for the syringes, so then the 24 hour wait begins before they can give ''that'' a go. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 05:04, 21 May 2009 (BST)
|-
It never even occurred to me that you could manufacture inside ruined NT's, I would think this to be a pretty obvious modification to remove a loophole rather than a survivor de-buff. --[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 08:16, 20 May 2009 (BST)
|'''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.

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)

I'm now waiting for those dupe to roll in.--{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 19:56, 19 May 2009 (BST)
:Even if there is a dupe, I dig the idea. Problem I see is [an odd one] giving the location of the block with most zombies in it. An odd problem, but the only thing I really see wrong. Seems a bit unnecessary. -- {{User:BlackReaper/sig}} 02:23, 20 May 2009 (BST)
::I also think it's a great idea, and I also agree that the zombie channel seems kind of rough. What about the suburb with the most zombies in it?  Or maybe even the one with the fewest?  Alternate between the two, like with forts?
::Also, since many people don't know the names of the mast buildings, maybe make the 5 buildings that it gives be the masts for the five suburbs in a random district? Gives you a better idea of the general area. --{{User:Maverick Farrant/sig}} 21:03, 24 May 2009 (BST)
 
Would this be hard for kevan to do? I got no idea...but it's a fucking awesome idea. Rooster could make some tasty thingys and maps and that to give NPOV statuses...--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 09:04, 22 May 2009 (BST)

|suggest_type=Flavor/Improvement
|-
|suggest_scope=Forts
|'''Type:''' New item
|suggest_description=There are a few external military frequencies that players are unable to broadcast over. Since the military rebuilt the forts for survivor use, perhaps they also left them with equipment to broadcast on some restricted frequencies.
|-
|'''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 suggest allowing transmitters inside of fort buildings to be set to broadcast on channels from 25.90-25.95. People would be able to listen in from anywhere of course. This would not affect the channel broadcasting npc military reports, which is 25.96. People would still not be able to transmit over that frequency. And should Kevan ever want to add more npc military channels for some reason, there's still 25.97 and higher.


What this would do is provide channels for intra and inter fort communication that have vastly reduced spam. Since only people within the forts can transmit over those channels there would be a much smaller number of people able to spam those channels at any given point. This would make 25.90-95 very useful for coordinating military operations among the forts' inhabitants and local patrols.
Q: Wouldn't this buff survivors, since they can carry more bullets and kill more zombies?


I think anything that makes forts more about tactical operations and less about waiting in one place for a big mob of zombies to kick you out is a good thing.
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.

:What's your point?  That suggestion was 3 years old.  You mean to tell me that NOTHING has or can change in 3 years to making bring up old ideas totally unviable?  The question here is whether or not this old idea would be good, now as it wasn't then.--[[User:Pesatyel|Pesatyel]] 02:49, 20 May 2009 (BST)
::Change is irrelevant. This goes to voting, I notice it, put the link up, put out a call on IRC, five minutes later it's cycled. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 04:15, 20 May 2009 (BST)
:::Once again I have to disagree with your dupe link. The other suggestion is for coded radio channels with a variable range, it requires a new skill to use (and understand) and can be used anywhere. This only requires a radio and a very specific location, it also has the same range as normal radios. Those are pretty significant changes to the mechanic.... especially considering that the variable range bit was what got most kills in the old suggestion. --[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 08:22, 20 May 2009 (BST)
::::Yes, but this suggesstion would change nothing. It would just add more frequencies, that people either wouldn't listen to, or only a select group of people who stay in the forts would use. It wouldn't make them more strategic, people just wouldn't use this method unless they were already there. --{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature‎}} 15:44, 20 May 2009 (BST)

:::::Not really, Iscariot calls dupe on pretty much everything. This one is very unlike his link but look below where he Dupes something because the game already has monuments as locations and something else because a script exists??? Now the script one actually is a dupe, just not for the reasons he gives. Its insane how often he comes up with the most tenuous of reasons for something being a dupe and if he ever gets away with enforcing his opinion on dupes then the page really will be redundant! --[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 08:23, 21 May 2009 (BST)

:::::::How's about you think for yourselves? And knee-jerking against everything Iscariot says isn't "independent thinking". Meanwhile, it's not just Iscariot who uses the argument about scripts... it's a valid counter, used by the likes of sweirs and karek.  And.. just because someone links to an alleged dupe doesn't mean it ''is'' a dupe, or that it'll be cycled out. And imnsho this is different enough from the orginal -- but barely -- and soley b/c the original is conviuluted and silly. --23:27, 21 May 2009 (BST)
::::::::I don't believe Sweirs or Karek ever voted "dupe" over something replicated by a script but I am not checking and could easily be wrong. The point is that a "dupe" vote is the easiest way to get stuff removed... sure you can appeal to an arbitrator but why should you have to when your suggestion clearly wasn't a dupe in the first place. As for "knee jerking" everything Iscariot says??? I call him often on the validity of his dupe links and disagree with a lot of what he does here but I also think he is capable of some very insightful and useful contributions which I have supported on more than one occasion. Oh and one last thing... please sign your posts so we can tell who you are. --[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 09:05, 22 May 2009 (BST)
:::::It was a bit of sarcasm.  I've been here a LONG time and there are VERY few idea that crop up that haven't been put up at some point in the past.  98% of suggestions have been tried before in SOME way (thus, not strictly dupes).  Players come and go, as do ideas.  What might not have worked in 2005 just MIGHT work now.  So what's wrong with bringing it up?  If it is still disliked, it will die again, but what if the new players actually like the idea?--[[User:Pesatyel|Pesatyel]] 05:00, 22 May 2009 (BST)
::::::As much as I agree that circumstances and consensus could change over a few years, the current system doesn't place any kind of time reference on suggestions for duping. A dupe from any time is a dupe, unfortunately. --{{User:BobBoberton/sig}} 07:49, 22 May 2009 (BST)

|suggest_scope=Survivors
|suggest_description=Simple: a megaphone that allow survivors to launch vocal messages in the streets, and that works in a way similar to Graffiti and Feeding Groans. The player wrote the message in a text box, and everybody within a certain range (3,4 or so...)) will display it, maybe through something like "You heard a megaphone shouting "TEXT" from *DIRECTION*".
...to make things better, it's use can be limited in certain building. In any dark builings (no windows) it could be impossibile. While, in Tall Buildings and Towers, survivors may be supposed to use it on the roof, hence, it range can be wider.
Just like Spray Cans, it's use can be limited to certain times before discard. After all, megaphones use batteries.
It can be found, says, in Police Depts, Fire Stations, Hardware Store and the like. I think it can be an interesting variant to Radio Messages and Mobile Phones.

'''Question''' - What's the point, really, if most survivors visit parks for a minute or so, looking for an EP? --{{User:Haliman111/sig}} 20:52, 15 May 2009 (BST)
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.


Usually I am all open for more atmosphere in urbandead, but this seems just useless. I mean, when I am moving outside through open blocks its just click-click for me.--[[User:MisterGame|Thadeous Oakley]] 22:47, 15 May 2009 (BST)

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.

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.
