Suggestions
Airstrike
Timestamp:  -Dezonus- (talk) 01:41, 19 September 2010 (BST)
|
| Type: Skill, extension of radio Operation |
| Scope: Survivors, level 25 or above (20 if military) (Subject to change) can buy the "Call in Airstrike" skill at a cost of 500XP |
| Description: Airstrike, called in by radio on a specific frequency (probably only available at Forts). When the player with the Call in Airstrike skill broadcasts "Requesting Airstrike [xx,yy]" on the correct frequency, it will instantly return the message "Airstrike Request, Location [xx,yy]: Location name, Please confirm.", to which the player can confirm for 20AP, or cancel for 0AP. The frequency will then broadcast "Airstrike [xx,yy] ETA 24hrs", and will periodically rebroadcast the time remaining. Any player with the Call in Airstrike skill can abort the airstrike up to 1 minute before impact, even if they didnt call it in. They would broadcast "Abort Airstrike [xx,yy]" on the same frequency (But does not need to be the same location.
Only one Airstrike can be called in at a time for the whole of Malton, and once a successful Airstike takes place, another cannot be called in for another week ("Requesting Airstrike [xx,yy]" "Airstrike unavailable for another (time remaining)) Airstrikes will deal 40 damage to everybody, regardless of whether Zombie or Survivor on the block of impact. And building will be ruined with "Explosion damage", and take a lot more AP to repair. Surounding blocks will randomly take damage up to a 5 block radius. Airstrikes cannot be called in if any part of a fort is within that 5 block radius. Examples: "Requesting Airstrike [19,27]" "Airstrike Request, Location [19,27]: Caiger Mall (North West Corner), Please confirm." Confirm Airstrike (20AP) "Airstrike [19,27] ETA 24hrs"

Carpenter Starting Class
Carpenter

| Type: Starting class |
| Scope: Survivors |
| Description: The Carpenter starting class would start with a toolbox and the Construction skill. |
Discussion (Carpenter)
To make this suggestion complete: Where would Carpenters spawn? What would their Welcome Message be? -- Spiderzed▋ 20:46, 18 September 2010 (BST)
- The above doesn't matter because we have Engineer, a character class which starts with Construction, in Peer Reviewed already. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 21:11, 18 September 2010 (BST)

booby trap skill
| Timestamp: Naughteous Maximus 17:40, 17 September 2010 (BST) |
| Type: survivor & zombie skills |
| Scope: survivors and zombies |
| Description: This is a more refined version of a previous proposal by another player (11th-Nov-2005 Booby Trap) to implement a Military skill under the construction section called booby trap. This is a very limited skill which would allow for a survivor to implement a single booby trap in a building that is barricaded. It is a single firing booby trap. Buildings which are not barricaded can not have booby traps. A barricaded building can not have multiple booby traps.
Like all other construction skills, it would require having a toolbox and maybe another object, such as a length of pipe, which is consumed for the trap. The booby trap would go off to impact only the person to "bring down the last of the barricade." This could be either zombie or survivor. It would do a small amount of damage, maybe 5 or 10 hp. I would suggest that it take considerable AP to set up a booby trap, maybe 5 or 10 AP. Because it does take so many AP, if someone tries to booby trap an already booby-trapped building, they should be told before the AP expenditure that "A booby trap has already been set here." Maybe it could be part of the description of the barricade, but only from the inside of the building. In addition, to balance the skill, zombies could have a recognize booby trap ability in their Memories of Life section. That could either work outright to avoid the trap, or have a high percentage chance to avoid the trap. Unskilled zombies would be unable to avoid triggering the trap. I believe this is in character with the apocalyptic zombie survivor mentality, and I think it would be a fun addition to the game. Additional suggestions for this idea are welcomed. |
Discussion (booby trap skill)
Duped, Shooting Through Barricades, Multiply it by 1000. No. And how is 5-10 damage in one hit a "small amount of damage"? No single attack in this game does more then 4. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheWritingWriter (talk • contribs) at an unknown time.
- Did you forget a weapon? Shotgun (Damage 10 points (8 against a flak jacket.)) Ontaru 20:47, 2010 September 17 (BST)
- It is not "shooting through a barricade" if you'd read the entire suggestion carefully. The amount of damage is supposed to be more than any weapon can do, but a single shot. There is no "multiply by 1000" because you can only set up one. Period. Per building. And it only hits one target. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Naughteous Maximus (talk • contribs) at an unknown time.
- 30 damage is the maximum damage it is possible to inflict with a single ap. Many issues here, notably, zombies (who will be the only players this will target), don't really care about hp, how does a pipe inflict so much damage, it can be used a a griefing tool against rot revive clinics, its ap inefficent, booby traps are triggered by someone destroying the cades, but not entering the building? How does that work? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 21:12, 17 September 2010 (BST)
You cite a dupe, say that it's more refined, but then, as far as I can tell, have not made any substantial changes aside from making it less powerful. That suggestion was killed by nearly everyone for a reason, and I don't see anything here that changes my mind. It effectively allows survivors to "bank" AP by investing it in the trap, which can later be spent to do damage. See also: Dos and Do Nots (the point about pinning down details), Auto Attacks, and the list of frequent suggestions (check the entry for "Traps"). —Aichon— 21:07, 17 September 2010 (BST)
Well, the suggestion of tying it to a barricade was really more to limit the places where they could be set up, but I understand what you are saying about banking AP. I did think it was much more thought out, not unlimited in scope as the previous suggestion. The idea behind it is that the length of pipe "rests" on the barricade and when the last layer is taken out, whoever is underneath gets beaned by it. The trap is gone after that. And remember, it may not be a zombie. There are those survivors who choose to work for the dark side of the force! But you are right, the essence of the concept has not changed. I will certainly understand if, for that reason, it is not implemented. Naughteous Maximus 21:31, 17 September 2010 (BST)
- While booby traps fit the zombie apocolyptic setting, they would fall under so many dupes that it's pointless to uggest one. Still, why would it do 5-10 damage instead of the regular pipe damage? --Gat 22:27, 17 September 2010 (BST)

Discussion (The Machete)No. Not even if Danny Trejo asked. Peer Reviewed Dupe. And it's from 2005. If Kevan hasn't implemented it in the past 5 years, he's never going to implement it. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 03:47, 16 September 2010 (BST)
