| *'''Type''' is the nature of the suggestion, such as a ''new class'', ''skill change'', ''balance change'', etc. Basically: '''What is it?''' and '''Is it new, or a change?'''
| |
| *'''Scope''' is who or what the suggestion affects. Typically ''survivors'' or ''zombies'' (or both), but occasionally ''Malton'', the game ''interface'' or something else.
| |
| *'''Description''' should be a full explanation of your suggestion. Include information like flavor text, search odds, hit percentages, etc, as appropriate. Unless you are as yet unsure of the exact details behind the suggestion, try not to leave out anything important. Check your spelling and grammar.

| | |
| ===Cycling Suggestions===
| |
| *Suggestions with no new discussion in the past two days should be given a warning notice. This can be done by adding {{CodeInline|1='''<nowiki>{{SDW|</nowiki><font color="darkred">date</font><nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''}} at the top of the discussion section, where <font color="darkred">date</font> is the day the suggestion will be removed.
| |
| *Suggestions with no new discussion in the past week may be removed.
| |
| *If you are adding a comment to a suggestion that has the warning template please remove the {{CodeInline|1='''<nowiki>{{SDW|</nowiki><font color="darkred">date</font><nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''}} at the top of the discussion section to show that there is still ongoing discussion.
| |
| | |
| This page is prone to breaking when the page gets too long, so sometimes suggestions still under discussion will be moved to the [[Developing Suggestions/Overflow1|Overflow page]], so the discussion can continue.

Now you notice shooting only when someone falls dead, which is strange. | | |'''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. |

| When someone shoots inside building it means that something wrong (or interesting) goes on inside. It makes PKing reasonably more difficult, on the other hand survivors will think twice before executing PKer, when it may reveal they presence to other PKers and zombs.

| I'm gonna have to go with "no" on this idea. Can you imagine an actual siege situation? If you're gone during a mall siege for a day, you're already getting screen spammed to death. This would probably make it 2-3x worse, I'd imagine. Also, as a PKer, I fail to see where the deterrent is to PKers. If anything, it gets us more recognition, which is what a lot of PKers are looking for anyway. The only time it would deter us is when we take the chance at making a kill when we're low on AP and end up humiliated when we have to leave the job undone, but most PKers I know make a point of finishing the job. For reference, I've only ever had to abandon one kill-in-progress due to lack of AP out of the dozens I've made. The current system already lets you spot PKers by telling who who kills who, which is enough information, without being too much. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 02:11, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

| |'''Description:''' "Hidden deep underground in Malton is the remains of an old Nuclear Fallout shelter. Although looted of supplies the heavy blast doors can still provide protection from the horde; not for long though, the air supply is broken." | | |'''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. |
| | |
| The Fallout bunker is a 1x1 location located at Shelper Park, Lukinswood [29,49] (Any other suitable, external location may be used), the bunker is not visible but the park description states "There is a fallout bunker hidden amongst some trees and bushes, the doors are open/closed." and there is an option to 'enter the building'. It counts as a dark building.
| |
| | |
| As the bunker is underground Radios, Phones and GPS units do not work, however if a generator is set-up the lights can not be seen externally and the emergency radio is activated (This radio is set to receive 25.92Mhz (EBS), cannot be changed and cannot broadcast).
| |
| | |
| The bunker features a heavy blast door. This door can only be opened and closed by survivors from the inside and costs 5AP to do so (the doors cannot be closed when ruined). If there are no active survivors inside the door automatically opens. When the door is closed bodies cannot be dumped. As a consequence of the air recycling system being broken any actions performed inside the bunker with the doors closed costs 1Hp.
| |
| | |
| The internal descriptions are:
| |
| *You cannot discern anything in the darkness of the bunker.
| |
| *The lights flicker on and off along the cold concrete walls with the humm of the generator, water drips and the air smells stale . The air recycling system is broken and needs a new Air-Chip.
| |
| | |
| Although the Bunker has been looted of most supplies survivors can still find lengths of pipe and newspapers. Unique clothing in the form of a blue and yellow jumpsuit can also be found within the bunker.

| | |
| Pointless. Because I'd break it.
| |
| | |
| If an 'active' character is no longer in it, the doors open. It takes five days for a character to idle. I only need to perform 1 action to stay active. Behold the timeline:
| |
| #Myself and friends with PKer and death cultist alts attack the bunker in a mass strike and kill and dump all the inhabitants.
| |
| #Only my character remains and he closes the door, locking himself in with just his inventory.
| |
| #Once every five days I log in and hit search.
| |
| #I have 60HP, at this rate (60 x 5) it will take me 300 days to run out of health and die.
| |
| #I have a full inventory of 50 FAKs. This provides me with and additional 500HP of potential health.
| |
| #I use these FAKs periodically. This provides me (560 x 5) with 2800 days until I run out of health and die. To save you doing the maths, 2800 days is 7.67 years, longer than the game has currently been running.
| |
| #Should I be in danger of actually running out of health seven years from now, I will contact a friend and he will substitute his character for mine. The door to your bunker will be open for 30 seconds every seven years.

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. |

| |'''Description:''' Erothanatos (as humans have taken to calling him) has been created by one of the great old ones to toy with the things that have broken the chain of life and death as we humans understand it. | | |'''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). |
| | |
| Erothanatos is an automated bot beyond power as we know it, Erothanatos gains AP at the normal rate and will randomly perform an action whenever he is able to. He is unable to enter buildings due to his immense size, but he can also step over fort walls as if they did not exist. The actions available are:
| |
| | |
| 50% chance to Move, Erothanatos moves 1 square in one random direction
| |
| | |
| 25% chance to Destroy, Erothanatos ruins and removes the barricades if a building is present
| |
| | |
| 25% chance to Dance, Erothanatos does a magic dance, any zombies outside become survivors and vice versa
| |
|
| |
|
| If Erothanatos is unable to perform any of these actions he will wait until he gains 1AP before trying again and randomly select one again. Of course Erothanatos has desciptions but he is so undescribable that I'll leave it to your immaginations...

| ===Zombies gain bonuses during full moon===

| |
| |'''Scope:''' Zombies
| |

| |
| |'''Description:''' If you've played ''Dead Rising'' you've seen the zombies in that game gaining bonuses at night. Obviously, zombies in Urban Dead gaining bonuses at night would be difficult to implement, not least of all because defining 'night' is all-but impossible in a game where players are from different timezones.
| |
|
| |
|
| So what about a globally applicable time period--such as the full moon? Please note I have no technical understanding about how this game is coded and so this suggestion might be completely out of line with the game's technical capabilities, but I thought I'd put it out there anyway.
| | Q: If it wastes AP, what is the point? |
|
| |
|
| How would I implement such a suggestion? Well, maybe zombies could inflict bonus damage on designated days. Maybe they could be tougher on designated days. Maybe they could move faster on designated days.
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| Why am I making this suggestion? It seems zombies are not the favoured playable option and--having been playing around in the UD universe for a few days, that survivors don't actually have all that difficult a time of it unless they choose to wander into the middle of a zombie infestation. I figure this might make zombies a little more unpredictable.
| |
|
| |
|
| What could the potential problems be with this suggestion? Well, we might end up with zombies and zombie groups only bothering to attack on a given day or days, and find ourselves in a cycle where survivors gear up for three weeks and then spend the week of the full moon defending their hard-won safehouses. Having said that, such a situation would result in an interesting new metagame, where zombie groups would be expected to attack during the full moon, but if they didn't they might get the drop on poorly-prepared survivors.
| | Please give your thoughts. |
|
| |
|
| All right, that will do to begin with. Any thoughts?

| This is probably a stupid question but is it full moon at the same time in all parts of the world? Obviously i mean date rather than time but you get my drift... --[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 12:18, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
| |
| :Yep, it's the same time worldwide--or rather, close enough that it doesn't matter. In fact, Kevan could even just create Malton's own lunar cycle that's a perfect 28 days rather than Earth's actual lunar cycle that's 29.5something days. Matching Earth's lunar cycle isn't particularly important compared to the goal of the suggestion itself. --[[User:Cynarion|Cynarion]] 12:26, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
| |
| :: 29.5 is better that merely 28 i think. Around the globe we half different phases up to half-day difference. I feel like any cycle in Malton should be N+half days. And full moonlight would benefit harmans, making it easier to aim the shotgun at bright nights :-) [[User:Annoynimouse|Shambler for Shambala]] 20:34, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

| This is great, I could use these sort of changes to write fiction that promotes domestic abuse and make money from it:
| |
| :''"He gestured at himself, and then to her in quick succession as he spoke the words she'd daydreamed about whilst wasting time in class <nowiki>'</nowiki>GANNA AZZ GANGBANG, GRAB MAH BANANA<nowiki>'</nowiki>, gazing at the shimmer on his skin, KristiOTD responded <nowiki>'</nowiki>Oh, Jorm, you sparkle!<nowiki>'</nowiki>"''
