Basically a way of making the Zed threat more "realistic" and countering the Survivor advantage by increasing Zed numbers but balancing out the sum of Zed abilities to prevent overcompensation.
 
'''Starting point is a fully qualified Zombie, nothing left to spend XP on.'''
 
For every X amount of XP (100 for arguments sake) they gain they have the opportunity to permanently give up a skill in return for an approved alt zombie upto a total of 5. This alt Zombie cannot be levelled up, is much weaker and slower (20AP/10HP) than a normal Zombie and essentially fulfils the role of the random zombie extra in the movies - nuisance value and target practice as individuals but dangerous in groups. (ie the shufflers)
 
Obviously the "Master Zombie" (for want of a better term) would be weakened via loss of skills, not ap/hp considerations. No impact on alts if master is killed or vice versa.
 
A maxed out Zombie account holder could now have 100AP (50+(20x5)) to play with but a seriously diminished skill set.
 
'''Gameplay Impact.'''
 
There would be increased Zombie/Survivor contact with lots of slow, weak "shufflers" moving around. Consequently lots more random pot shots taken at lone zombies but attacks not followed up etc.
 
Increased intel for the Zombies although this would be limited to metadata sharing with the "master" and from them to the wider community.
 
It would be almost impossible to guess the strength of a small zombie group. Survivors would probably end up biting off more than they could chew in stands against what were thought to be weak groupings of "shufflers"
 
Truly massive hordes!
 
Sieges would be more uncertain, is it a group of "shufflers" or a normal group? The loss of certain skills would weaken the individual "master zombie" attack whilst the "shufflers" increased the confusion, target choice and subsequent confusion etc.
 
 
'''Basically I believe this would massively increase the fear, confusion and potential to make a catastrophic mistake amongst the survivor population whilst shifting the actual advantage only slightly towards the Zombies.'''

From the Urban Dead FAQ:

Q. Can I send you some ideas?
A. All players are welcome to suggest alterations and additions that they think would improve the game - we can't guarantee that they'll be implemented, but anything submitted to the Suggestions page of the Urban Dead Wiki will certainly be passed on and read, if it passes peer review. --Kevan

This page is for suggestions for new content to add to Urban Dead in the future. You are free to make whatever Suggestions you desire, but you must follow the Suggestions Guidelines when you Suggest them.

Once suggestions reach the end of their voting period they are moved to one of the following peer reviewed pages:

  • Peer Reviewed Suggestions - For suggestions with a total of 2/3 or more Keep votes after 2 weeks of voting.
  • Undecided Suggestions - For suggestions with less than 2/3, but greater than or equal to 50% of Keep votes after 2 weeks of voting.
  • Peer Rejected Suggestions - For all other suggestions after 2 weeks of voting, or those that comply to the 2/3 Spam votes rule.
  • Humorous Suggestions - For amusing suggestions that would normally get thrown into Peer Rejected, but are fun to read.
  • Previous Days Suggestions - For a history of suggestions - check here first before submitting.

The Suggestion System

Advice before Making a Suggestion

  1. Read the Suggestions Dos and Do Nots page and the Frequently Suggested Ideas page for guidelines.
  2. Consider taking it to the Developing Suggestions page first. You will get a feel for how the community views such suggestions and often get some idea for fine tuning your suggestion. This step is recommended.
  3. Look for your suggestion in the following pages to avoid a duplicate suggestion (Use the Ctrl + F function to search for keywords):
    1. Previous Days' Suggestions
    2. Peer Reviewed Suggestions
    3. Peer Rejected Suggestions
    4. Undecided Suggestions
  4. Repeats of Suggestions under consideration or already considered may be deleted without warning by any user unless there are substantial differences.
  5. New and sensitive users should be aware that voters will not always treat their ideas kindly. It may be helpful to wait a few days to get a feel for the place and the other users before subjecting your idea to any possible criticism. If you're unsure, the Discussion page is good neutral territory to suggest, gather feedback, and refine your idea before officially submitting it.
  6. Before submitting your suggestion, read what kind of suggestions are approved, and which rejected.
    1. If your suggestion is a basic functionality improvement, it will probably be accepted.
    2. If it makes characters, especially survivors, significantly more powerful, it will almost certainly be rejected.
  7. Again, read the existing suggestions before you post.
  8. Reading the Talk page is also highly recommended.
  9. Each author should not make more than one suggestion per day (i.e. in a 24 hour period beginning at 00:01 GMT). This limit does not include suggestions which the author has removed for the purpose of revision. Suggestions may be revised once per day at most. Suggestions must be removed prior to revisions being posted. Frequent removal of suggestions to avoid having them spaminated is considered abuse of the system. Removal of suggestions in order to post non-revision suggestions the same day is also considered abuse of the system.
  10. Suggestions created entirely for the purpose of satire, insult, or comedy are to be re-categorised into the humourous suggestions category. If you post a joke suggestion please put it on the Humorous category yourself.

Peer Reviewed Suggestions

Peer Reviewed Suggestions are not guaranteed to be implemented into the game. Suggestions that are Peer Reviewed are simply suggestions considered good and worthy by the wiki population, and being moved to that page places no onus on Kevan to implement them.

Cycling Suggestions

Please help to cycle suggestions into their appropriate categories.


Making a Suggestion

If this is your first time making a suggestion, consider taking it to the Developing Suggestions page before starting in on the voting process as described below. The friendly people there can help you avoid formating errors and will let you know if the suggestion stands a decent chance of passing a vote, has glaring problems, or (good or bad) has been made and voted on already in the past. You may also find it useful to have a look at this Sample Suggestion to let you see what you need to put into your suggestion when you make it.

To make a new suggestion:

  • Copy the following code, click here, and paste it so that it's just above the last line of code:
    {{Subst:NewSug|SUGGESTION NAME}}
  • Change SUGGESTION NAME to the name of your suggestion.
  • Make it descriptive and different from other suggestions listed, and DO NOT include your name, signature, date, slashes (e.g. /), or quotation marks.
  • Save the page. This adds your suggestion to the list below so voters can see it. You're not done yet.
  • Click the link to your suggestion page that we just created. The link should be colored red at the moment.
  • Copy the following code, paste it into your suggestion page, and preview the changes. Follow the instructions it gives you:
    {{SugHead}}
  • Preview your suggestion before saving it. Once you save it, you basically cannot alter it. Check the policies for specifics.

Suggestions

READ THE Suggestions Dos and Do Nots and Frequently Suggested Ideas Page BEFORE YOU POST A NEW SUGGESTION.
