Limit on Corpses

Timestamp: JoshCz (talk) 22:44, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Type: Nerf

Scope: Dead Bodies

Description: If the game ever gets updated, it would be nice for corpses to have a limit to the meat zombies can get from them. Humans are limited by FAKs so Zombies should be limited by how many they can kill. It would also give a reason to attack a zombie for xp (but not kill them)

Discussion (Limit on Corpses)

Mmm...not really understanding the reasoning behind this one. The two sides are supposed to play differently, and the game is balanced around the idea that humans have bursty damage/healing which is limited by their inventories and how well they've been searching, while zombies have constant-rate damage/healing which is limited solely by their AP. Applying the logic you've mentioned here, if we're going to limit how much they can eat from a corpse because humans are limited by FAKs, then it'd also make sense to limit how many times they could attack survivors because humans are limited by ammo. Except that doesn't make sense, since the sides are designed to play differently and they're balanced accordingly.

Plus, it makes no sense to nerf the corpse eating mechanic when barely any zombies use it anyway. Most of the ones I know either suicide jump from a building or get another zombie to kill them if they need to be healed. After all, they go back to full HP every time they die, and both suicide jumping and dying from another zombie only costs 1AP to recover from, which is WAY cheaper than eating corpses. —Aichon— 23:57, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

I thought this was already in game. --Rosslessness^{Want to complete a dangerous mission?} 09:40, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Right, did some space work. 3 dead bodies and one reviving at my locationm ate successfully 30 times before I got to "The only fresh meat here is tainted with strange chemicals. It fizzes against your tongue, and you spit it out." So you can only feed on each corpse ten times. --Rosslessness^{Want to complete a dangerous mission?} 09:40, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Correct. Corpses can only be fed upon ten times total. As well, a zombie feeding on a stack that has already been fed upon will receive the "fresh meat" message. Relative info here. ~ _{13:24, 15 April 2015, The year of our lord (UTC)}

Weapons from Museums

Timestamp: Jerran 06:17, 11 April 2015

Type: New Item drops

Scope: More weapons, more use for muesums

Description: I think that Kevan should add (assuming he ever considers updating the game again) museums of piracy and medieval history, and we should be able to scavenge weaponry and obtain clothes from these museums.

Discussion (Weapons from Museums)

I would like the costumes, nost 100% on the weapons though.JoshCz (talk) 22:41, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
