|'''Description:''' An extra 10% to the inventory capacity. Would require body building. Could possibly be a military skill, because of all the pack training they do.
|'''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.

|'''Description:''' A covering or armor of bone for high level zombie players. As a zombie rotted (i.e. leveled up) bones would begin to be exposed. These bones then could be sharpened if on the hands to add 1 (one) additional damage to successfull hand attacks while increasing by 1 (one) all damage received through firearms. The reasoning is that bone is brittle and bone not shielded by rotting flesh would be more likely to break than shielded bone.
|'''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.
+1 Hand attack damage done/+1 firearm damage received

I fixed your code. As far as comments go, I don't have any right now. -[[User:Austin hunt|<span style="color:green">Austin</span>]] [[User Talk:Austin hunt|<span style="color:blue">Hunt</span>]] 17:26, 24 June 2010 (BST)
 
Hang about, my fully levelled zombie now takes more than 50 damage from a shotgun?--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature‎}} 21:11, 24 June 2010 (BST)
 
Yonnua Koponen, I am not sure what you mean with your comment, but I will try to clarify something at least. Say an attack from a shotgun hits your zombie character, and does 10 (ten) damage. With the Zombie Bone Armor skill the same successful shotgun attack would do 11 (eleven) damage to your zombie character. {{unsigned|William Burns}}
:Yeah, umm... how about no. --{{User:Maverick Farrant/sig}} 22:09, 24 June 2010 (BST)
 
Wait. So I get a fully-levelled brain-rotted death cultists to parachute an NT. Stand up, deal 3+43=46 damage per claw swipe, clear the NT in like five or six swipes, pinata, stand outside and get headshot in two hits, +5AP penalty far outweighed by the AP saved by having a x15 damage multiplier on my attacks. I VOTE KEEP. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 22:11, 24 June 2010 (BST)
:I think you're misinterpreting the suggestion. You take this skill. Now your claw attack would do 4 damage each, but you would also take 5 damage from pistols and 9 damage from shotguns. --{{User:Maverick Farrant/sig}} 22:30, 24 June 2010 (BST)
::Then why specify that you rot more when you level up? {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 22:38, 24 June 2010 (BST)

Wait wait wait, lemme see if I know what you're saying.  You're trying to tell us that flesh and skin will protect against bullets, but without that flesh and skin, they'll be easily damaged more by bullets?  Whatever happened to the Flak Jacket covering those bones? =O --{{User:Axe Hack/Sig}} 01:17, 25 June 2010 (BST)
 
The Flak Jacket decays with the zombie. And if you are a high level zombie, that means you have spent more time dead, exposed to the elements, which would cause advanced states of decomposition not seen in "newer" zombies. So, overall, do you think I can take this to the real suggestions page? [[User:William Burns|William Burns]] 23:20, 25 June 2010 (BST)
:No. This idea sucks, and your reasoning sucks. Flack Jackets don't decay just because you're a certain level, and this idea is a massively unneeded zombie buff whose negative effects are completely negated by an existing skill.{{User:Lelouch/sig}} 23:46, 25 June 2010 (BST)

|'''Description:''' Okay, a survivor can find a small mine go somewhere drop it and if a zombie or survivor attacks you it puts a small amount of damage on the attacker, it will say up in the description that they have a mine. 5 or 10 damage would be dealt but the damage is only inflicted if the attacker landed the hit and even if they missed the mine would still blow up but not affect them.
|'''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.

|'''Description:''' Well, I've considered putting this up a few times, but never got the guts. So I'm giving it a try now ._.
The idea of this suggestion is to increase the powers of both the survivor and zombie sides. Zombies gain the new skill (under infectious bite) of Diseased bite. This bite works the same as the normal bite, but cannot be cured by a simple FAK. (If a zombie chooses to stick with the normal infectious bite, it will remain a skill, unchanged).
 
Instead, a new item "Antibiotic" would be added to the game for the purpose of curing it (Found: Hospitals (10%); Mall drug stores(?%) (I leave ?% because of the two skills. Most likely be similar to the FAK chances in drug stores) Encumbrance: (1%)(since they aren't as useful as FaKs, they take up less room). Edit: The Antibiotics CAN cure a normal infection as well, but it's a bit wasteful when a normal FaK can do as much and heal HP at the same time. Normal infection is not changed at all by the presence of Diseased bite, it still works as normal.
 
To prevent this from being a total nerf to survivors, they gain a new skill: Analyse Symptoms. With this skill, survivors can now detect infections (the same way that zombies can with scent blood), with Diseased bites being coloured a darker colour than the normal infections. This would be a sub-skill of Diagnosis and, consequently, a science skill.
 
Edit: I've looked at those past cases, none of the others were both survivor/zombie balanced (instead they only helped the zombies) and didn't use item cures.
Also, this would be a part of the "you search and find nothing" bit of searching, rather than diluting the FaK chances.
Anyway, I've added the encumbrance to the description.
To clarify: This DOES NOT stack with Infectious bite. Here's a few examples:
 
Survivor bitten by zombie with IB-Normal infection
 
Survivor bitten by zombie with DB-Diseased infection
 
Survivor bitten by two zombies, one with IB and the other with DB-The Diseased bite overrides the Infection and replaces the infectious bite with a diseased bite, leaving only the diseased infection. From here, it's treated like a normal diseased bite.
 
Hopefully these answer questions! (Hey, the point of putting it here is to iron out the bugs, right?^.^)
Also, I like the ideas of unusual locations, but I'd need to figure out how to best place them if I followed that. Any suggestions for search rates in schools, lockers, etc would be appreciated.
 
This is my first suggestion, so please keep the flames down >.<
 
Thanks to everyone who has offered positive feedback so far! ^.^

====Discussion (Diseased bite and Analyse Symptoms)====
 
Fuck yeah permanent infection. As a death cultist, I like this. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 14:30, 22 June 2010 (BST)
 
One of the major things you have to consider is that FAK search rates would be diluted by this.--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature‎}} 15:31, 22 June 2010 (BST)
:So make it an antigen specifically created by NecroTech during their experiments and have it found only in NecroTech buildings. Perhaps allow it to be manufactured similar to syringes.{{User:Zombie Lord/sig2}} <tt>15:41 22 June 2010(UTC)</tt>
::Remove the option to manufacture it. That way you create a reduced search rate for needles, which is perfect. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 16:04, 22 June 2010 (BST)   
:::OTOH, this will just increase the importance of NTs at the cost of hospitals (as if they weren't already the most important building). I like the harmanz to have to juggle with several important buildings, rather than let them stockpile in their malls and NTs. --{{User:Spiderzed/Sandbox/Sig}} 17:49, 22 June 2010 (BST)
::::I specifically chose the Hospitals to avoid this. NT's are already vitally important to survivors. No need to make it even MORE of a cripple if the zombies break into it. -[[User:Shadok|Shadok]] 05:02, 23 June 2010 (BST)
A number of questions. If I heal a player with a fak, will it cure the normal infection? Do these stack? Will antibiotics cure normal infections? How much does it weigh. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 16:40, 22 June 2010 (BST)
:Darn you and you edit conflicts! But yes, I have the same questions as Rosslessness. [[User:John Ibans|John Ibans]] 16:43, 22 June 2010 (BST)
Pretty sure it's a dupe or near-dupe, but aside from the diluted search rates, I see no immediate issue in the general concept. A small buff to zombies and a smaller but welcome buff to survivors. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 22:27, 22 June 2010 (BST)
 
I don't consider "search rate dilution" an adequate counter to a suggestion.  In some cases, perhaps, but more often then not, you can just put the new items in other places.  Antibiotics could, theoretically, be found anywhere.  So instead of putting them in the "usual places" (Hospital), why not in, say, schools (nurse's office) or stadiums (locker rooms, etc.) for example.--[[User:Pesatyel|Pesatyel]] 00:09, 23 June 2010 (BST)
 
There's a bunch of similar suggestions in Peer Reviewed, right [[PR_Skill_New:_Zombie:_Digestion_Tree#Infectious_Bite|here]], in the really old Peer Reviewed pages. --{{User:Axe Hack/Sig}} 02:59, 23 June 2010 (BST)
 
I just don't see the point of spending 100 XP to give a slightly-harder-to-get-rid-of infection. I think regular infection works well. This suggestion just doesn't add enough to the game, in my opinion. --{{User:Jordan Salafack/sig}} 12:18, 23 June 2010 (BST)
 
Have the antibiotics found in hospitals, drugstores and NT's but make Syringes automatically cure the disease if its present. --[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 23:34, 23 June 2010 (BST)
:Sounds good. Although, it would revert it to a normal infection rather than "cure" it (I'm not nerfing Deathcultists here)[[User:Shadok|Shadok]] 02:36, 24 June 2010 (BST)
::Well it doesn't cure infection now, so that would really be the only way it could work.--[[User:Pesatyel|Pesatyel]] 04:00, 24 June 2010 (BST)

|'''Type:''' Improvement
|-
|'''Scope:''' All players
|-
|'''Description:''' Now all players would have two new stats in their profile: HEADSHOTS & DEATHS. Neither of these will be viewable to anyone but the player themselves. A newly created player would have the following numbers next to the new stats:
 
:DEATHS:100
:HEADSHOTS: 250
 
Every time a Survivor is killed their DEATHS falls by 1.
Every time a Zombie takes a Headshot their HEADSHOTS falls by 1.
 
Once a Survivor reaches DEATHS:0, they automatically gain the Brain Rot skill. A survivor who manages to get revived with Brain Rot and has a DEATHS:0 stat will have their HEADSHOTS fall by 1 if they are killed. 
Once a Zombie reaches HEADSHOTS:0, they can no longer Stand Up and after 5 days their body will disappear forever from Malton.
 
Players who reach HEADSHOTS:0 will be added to a Leader-board that tracks the best players in the land based on their Skills + XP. Upon perm death Skills grant an equal number of XP that it cost to buy them. So it would be based on your class. Only XP gained after this is implemented would count towards a players Leader-board score, thought their old XP would still be shown for e-peen purposes.
 
Escape: Players on the edge of the map in an Empty Block (Carpark, Cemetery, Monument, Park, Street, or Wasteland) would have a new option: Attack Walls. Walls cannot be attacked when inside of a building or in any Block that contains a building. Attacking Walls is much like attacking barricades except you only get 25% of your full attack % to succeed. Walls have the same levels as Barricades (Loosely, LB, QSB, VSB, HB, VHB, EHB) Every half hour all the Walls automatically raise by one level (unless maxed at EHB+4) as the soldiers outside work to repair them. If a player breaks through the Walls or finds one open they will have a new button: Escape. Pressing this costs 1 AP and removes the player from the game just as if they had reached HEADSHOTS:0 and they are added to the Leader-board.
 
Survivors that Escape will have this noted on the Leader-board and it will be worth 1000 XP to their total.
Zombies that Escape are killed or Revived by soldiers soon after they escape but their Escape will be noted on the Leader-board and they will be granted 500 XP for the Escape.

:I agree. It is Balls time. Ed Balls. Now, I hear you ask, "Why should Ed Balls be the next leader of the labour party?" The answer's really quite simple. He's a strong, positive leader, with the ability to actually make this in to a progressive party, rather than just the same old centre party. David Miliband and Andy Burnham supported the Iraq War.

This is pretty much how Tangling Grasp should be in the first place.  I mean it seems a little weird that you can lose your grip on a, technically, "non-moving" target.  As Whitehouse says, this only really affects survivors on the "live" end.  If your not logged in, it doesn't really matter.  Your NOT going to escape unless the zombie gives up.  On the zombie end, it would save some AP from the "you lose your grip" results.--[[User:Pesatyel|Pesatyel]] 05:11, 17 June 2010 (BST)

|'''Type:''' makes ransack more attractive to non-max-level zombies
|-
|'''Scope:''' Ransacking, non maxed zombies
|-
|'''Description:''' Basically, I think a few changes should be made to ransack.
 
#  Two-click ruin.  One click of the ransack button ransacks the building and gives 1 xp.  The ransack button then changes to a ruin button which costs 5 AP.
#  XP for each AP of ruining.  Clicking the aforementioned ruin button yields a reward of 5 XP in addition to ruining the building.
#  XP for destroying decorations is included in the ransack.  Currently, zack can destroy decorations individually for 1ap and 1 xp each.  While decorations are also destroyed by ransack, I do not believe the XP is currently given for such.  When ransacking, a zombie would gain the 1 xp for ransack, in addition to 1 xp for each decoration that the ransack destroyed.
 
Part one of this idea overlaps with a suggestion that is currently in voting.  Part two overlaps with an Idea I have previously brought up on the [[DS]] page.  Part three is original as far as I know.  It is my hope that this suggestion being implemented would make ransack more attractive to lower level zombies, and would also give zombies at least a halfway-decent reward for breaking into an empty, caded building.

This is a terrible idea. I can tell you've never played a zombie and that you're a trenchcoater by the way you've worded things. Also you've already admitted to part of the idea being a dupe. The simple fact is that ruining a building for tactics and BARHAH is more appealing than for XP. Also why would a zombie player want to spend 6 AP to completely ruin a building in 2 clicks when the old way is more effective and less AP expensive. This is on top of the fact that 'pure zombies' max out at level 21, and not all take breather skills to Death cult. They are not going to care about xp at that point, and babahz generally would rather get their xp from delicious brains than ruining. Why would they want to spend 6 ap to make 5 xp, when they could spend 1 AP and earn 10+ from the kill bonus plus damage dealt? - {{User:Goribus/Sig}} 14:45, 19 June 2010 (BST)

|-
|-
|'''Description:''' Now Survivors have a new attribute called Hunger. This is tracked much like AP with a range of 0 to 50. For every action a Survivor takes (regardless of the AP cost, even if it is 0 AP for Dropping Items) they lose 1 Hunger point. Once a Survivor reaches 0 Hunger points they begin to lose 1 HP for each action they take.
|'''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).


When a Survivor is inside an unruined Mall, Club, Arms, Warehouse, Hotel, Cinema, Cathedral, Church, Fort Storehouse or Mansion they will see a new button called Eat. Performing the Eat action costs 1 AP and fully restores Hunger to 50. The Eat button will also appear while in the presence of any non-reviving Dead Body...sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do...


Zombies have no Hunger attribute to worry about. Standing up from a Revive will set a Survivors Hunger to 25.
Q: Wouldn't this buff survivors, since they can carry more bullets and kill more zombies?

No. We don't need a pointless AP-sink--for either side. If you want survivors to "eat", then maybe you should just spend time with some survivors who actually use that '''Speak''' button.

Here's how survivors eat. When they die and become a zombie, they gorge themselves. Then, when they are revived, they are no longer hungry. This is how Malton's population has survived for so long despite the fact that all food would have spoiled or run out long ago.
Q: If it wastes AP, what is the point?
Actually, when I put it that way, it sounds like Malton isn't effected by zombies at all. Just people who are really, really hungry and lose their sanity until they've had their fill. Although a single restaurant might have alleviated this. --{{User:Jordan Salafack/sig}} 12:39, 23 June 2010 (BST)

|-
|'''Type:''' Barricade adjustment
|-
|'''Scope:''' pretty much everyone, barricades are a central mechanic of the game
|-
|'''Description:''' So, there's a discussion below about how to make zombies stronger.  One Idea I like from the discussion there is the overall reduction of barricade levels, so that VSB is the highest level, and then QSB is required to be able to enter from the street.


I like this idea, because it doesn't really buff strike teams (who distribute a barricade's AP draininess among themselves so they feel the effect less, and have a perfectly decent level of power), while at the same time making it so a full-clawed feral can break into a building every day, and even get in a lot of attacks if it is an entry point/newbie haven, which now must be QSB (giving a zombie an average of 12 more attacks once he breaks into that building.)


Note that I am not proposing this as a final suggestion; my main intent was to separate this from the discussion below, as I feel it has merit.  One change I feel might be good is to slightly increase the failure rate for all barricade levels if this goes into effect.  Not quite to VHB or EHB levels, but more then they are at currently for QSB and VSB.
Please give your thoughts.


Your thoughts?

====Discussion (Lower max barricade levels)====
====Discussion (Backpack)====
+10% on to-hit with cades, -10% to all cading attempts, upward limit of VHB, with VSB still being the cut-off. That way it's harder to put them up, easier to take them down, and the limit is 16, not 21, which should see ferals being a bit more powerful (about 20% roughly). {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 04:19, 12 June 2010 (BST)
:I'd rather there still be a decision to make with barricade levels, so there isn't just one "best" level to have--{{User:Rictor_Stilwell/sig}} 10:41, 12 June 2010 (BST)
::Having followed the discussion that spawned the idea, I'd rather go with Mis and put the emphasis on increased hit chances against cades. What makes cades most frustrating is the low success rate, and the quirkiness of the RNG regarding low chances, which easily gives a worse rate than 1 removed cade level per 4 attacks. --{{User:Spiderzed/Sandbox/Sig}} 12:17, 12 June 2010 (BST)
:::Apologies to mis for my misunderstanding of his first post, I thought he said VSB twice.  Now for a few thoughts.  I'm personally kind of against decreasing the cading rates too much as a primary means of balancing, due to the fact that a lone zombie or small group likely will not experience any direct benefit from such a measure, creating more of an AP sink for one side for no purpose.  However, in large scale, long term engagements such a measure would favor hordes, who really do not need to be buffed.
 
:::I'd rather not assume that the actual hit rates are anything other than what we are told they are, or that the RNG is faulty, or anything like that, because if our official source of information is incorrect, why should one player's experience be more correct than another player's?  We would be arguing about something we can really get no definitive answer on.
 
:::As for how to balance barricades, I'd rather not implement all three ideas of decreasing success, lowering the levels, and increasing the hit rate against cades, in the interest of not taking it too far.  Out of the three, I probably most want to see the maximum barricade levels reduced, because right now, UD is a massive boring grind against barricades, and decreasing the AP spent on both sides of the cades leaves each side more AP for fun things.  And since the goal behind my arguments is to free up AP for fun things, I would rather see cades take less AP for zack to break down, than them taking up more survivor AP to erect.--{{User:Rictor_Stilwell/sig}} 11:32, 13 June 2010 (BST)
One nice thing about this suggestion is that it makes the maximum enterable level and the absolute maximum level adjoining, and so makes overcading less attractive. I could see a lot of organized pro-survivors who could gladly accept that as a zombie buff that has also a smaller buff for them in it. I'd probably make that rather VSB/HB, though, as a.) that makes it easier to see at one glance if something is enterable (strongly/heavily) and b.) keeps the old maximum entry level and so creates less confusion when that update is introduced. To offset that light improvement, you can make decading a tad bit easier (like the +10% that Mis proposed). --{{User:Spiderzed/Sandbox/Sig}} 12:17, 12 June 2010 (BST)

What about just making the over VS levels harder to do?--[[User:Pesatyel|Pesatyel]] 06:11, 13 June 2010 (BST)
:That does nothing for the feral who is surrounded by barricades he has no hope of breaking; it just makes it take slightly longer to fix the tiny dent he creates.  A decrease in cading rates alone would benefit hordes exclusively, which does not need to be done.  And, the most important reason, it makes the game less fun, rather than more fun, by increasing, rather than decreasing the overall AP spent on cades.--{{User:Rictor_Stilwell/sig}} 11:32, 13 June 2010 (BST)
::How does it make it less fun?  It forces survivors to do more than just cade all the time.  If survivors want to spend so much time barricading JUST to get it as high as possible, more power to them.  How can you say that isn't fun?  They choose to do it.  Yes, that was a bit of sarcasm, but the inherent problem is how easy it is to barricade relative to breaking them down.  So what are the options?  Lower the max barricade, as suggested (which a majority will spam), make them easier to break and/or make them harder to make.  It isn't JUST zombies that have to worry about it.  What about survivors?  It makes little difference between being level 1 and level 40, your still stuck outside having to break the barricade to get in. Or simply allowing zombies an increased hit against barricades would be good too.--[[User:Pesatyel|Pesatyel]] 05:54, 16 June 2010 (BST)

===Generator Damage===
 
'''Timestamp:''' [[User:Warbird108|Warbird108]] 02:10, 8 June 2010 (BST)
 
 
'''Type:'''
Generators should be altered to create a variety of logical, albeit not yet implemented, effects. <br />
 
 
'''Scope:'''
Survivors and zombies, buildings
 
 
'''Description:'''<br />
Generators are like candy to zombies. Aside from drinking up AP to destroy them that could just as well be used to down survivors, there are absolutely '''NO''' detrimental effects to zombies as a result of attacking generators; likewise to any destructive survivors (I've witnessed single survivors take down an entire mall's generators in one AP cycle, for whatever reason, with no repercussions whatsoever). I propose that generators, when reduced to damaged status,  should have a chance to douse the attacker or attackers in fuel (if fueled up), with an x% chance to do so. In addition, when destroyed, the generator would have an x% chance to explode (again, it would have to have fuel in its tank), dealing 5 points of damage to all attackers still present in the building, or 15 to any attackers doused in fuel. Supplementing this change, any generators damaged beyond dented would, instead of showing a solid yellow color on the building block, would have a striped yellow/light grey color, to indicate flickering/intermittent lights. This would be a red flag for survivors with toolkits/FAKs to alert them to a recent zombie incursion, and let them know that aid is probably needed/there is hostile zombie activity in the area; it would also let zombies see that their brethren most likely recently led an attack on the building, and that there are bound to be injured survivors/weakened barricades at the designated block.
 
'''Note:''' A problem that has been noted with this is where to set the cutoff point of how much time afterwards will the generator harm you? If you attack it, but don't destroy it, and a day later, someone else comes along and destroys it with you inside, would you take damage? I don't know how you'd set an exclusion on damage for this without people exploiting it.
 
====Discussion (Generator Damage)====
So, this is the exact same suggestion as [[Suggestion:20100608_Generator_Damage|your current suggestion]]? If you're going to discuss it here, it'd be best if you withdrew the current suggestion first. Anyway, you seem to have gotten hung up on auto-attacks. Let's review some of the pitfalls that you claim are not issues:
*If you make those changes,  would the game be fun for the attacking side?
**You say "Not Applicable", but I would suggest it would reduce fun for the attacking side, since it means damage where none exists now. Gennies are already a massive AP sink (10-20AP), especially so if there are active survivors. You ignore the fact that they're an AP sink, which is frustrating enough as is, and then make it more frustrating by punishing those who attack them.
*Zombies hardly care about HP anyway.
**You say it helps your argument, I say it applies the same to yours as it does to everyone else's. You haven't differentiated why it would help yours when it wouldn't help everyone else's, telling me that you don't quite grasp why this is an issue in the first place.
*Why let the computer do the fun part of the game?
**You make a rambling argument about budgeting resources, while I would say that it's all about having fun. ''Survivor players'' should be the ones that kill zombies, not ''generators'', of all things.
*It would be less fun to attack people if you were being automatically attacked back.
**You say "Not Applicable", I say that it's not only applicable but is entirely true (except change out "people" for "generators"). Much less fun.
Furthermore, you haven't dealt with the ''multiply it by a billion'' issues that were raised in the votes, nor have you dealt with the [[Frequently_Suggested#Area_of_Effect_Abilities|area of effect]] stuff yet. And those are just the issues with the Frequently Suggested page. We haven't even gotten into stuff such as lacking a solid reason for changing it, nerfing the side that's at the disadvantage in that situation, lack of necessary details, the HTML issues I raised regarding striped buttons, etc., none of which you have even attempted to address at all. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 01:05, 9 June 2010 (BST)
 
I think his "note" pretty much explains it all.--[[User:Pesatyel|Pesatyel]] 05:30, 9 June 2010 (BST)
 
Give every attack that damages a generator beyond dented a small (1%?) chance of making it explode causing 10 damage (reduced by flak/fleshrot) and destroying the generator. No headshot possible, No XP gained and NO area effect! That adds a little risk and a possibility of saving a few AP to make it worth the risk. --[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 09:29, 9 June 2010 (BST)
 
^^^^^IMO Generators aren't enough of an AP-sink compared to how long it takes to find a generator.--[[User:Llamajuice|Llamajuice]] 23:48, 18 June 2010 (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.

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.
