Zombie Revive Avoidance and Brain Rot Buff

Timestamp:	Swiers 20:57, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
Type:	Change
Scope:	zombies and revivification
Description:	Zombies can "lurch" in front of people building barricades, and can "wander away in the dark" when being revived, but still can't generally choose to walk away from a needle wielding reviver. I propose that there should be a toggle setting in your profile which would allow you to try to avoid being revived. Attempts to revive "resisting" zombies would have a 75% chance of failing, with a cost of 1 AP and no lost needle, as when failing to revive a zombie in the dark. Such an attempt (regardless of results) would bump the zombie to the bottom of the "revive stack". Scanning a "resisting" zombie would be no more difficult, but would give an appropriate flavor text along with the current info to indicate that revification would be difficult. Now, people will say this nerfs brain rot. But it doesn't - brain rot is much better because it blocks scans, AND breaks needles. However, I suggest that brain rot also be buffed so that when somebody DOES successfully scan you, all they get is a message saying the target has brain rot and the option to attempt a revive - they do NOT get a link to your profile! Viva zombie anonymity! Barhah!

Discussion (Zombie Revive Avoidance and Brain Rot Buff)

I think this falls along the lines of more of an unneeded auto-defense, it's not gonna cost that much ap to get killed and turn into a zombie again and also if a zombie doesn't want to be revived it would probably be a good idea to get away from an NT or just put something up in their profile that says don't revive or something along those lines. --Diablor 21:15, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

I do like the second one, but then the profile of a zombie with brain rot would never be seen unless someone looked it up on the database. Maybe make it an option when buying rot whether to have your profile shown during scans? Also, I think the "resisting" option should be bought as a skill, instead of just getting that ability for nothing. Just my two cents. --Pestolence^(talk) 21:29, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

You could still see a rotter's profile if it attacked you, or if it killed somebody else, or if it broke a generator, or ruined the building you were in (you'd need to be a zombie for that), or if it spoke / performed a gesture. In fact, rotters who want revives generally talk quite a lot, specifically so that people CAN see their profile.  Swiers 21:33, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

I don't see the point. Brain Rot already does this, essentially, does it not?--Pesatyel 22:28, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Only if survivors get a 75% of falling on any syringes they are carrying upon death and injecting themselves. No I don't think survivors should have that, nor do I think zombies need further ways of avoiding revivification. - User:Whitehouse 22:38, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

That's odd.. it just occurred to me that zombie accuracy against cades is 25%... Anyhow, still not the same. As for your brainrot buff. Doesn't that take away the whole reward for DNA extracting in the first place? I have a character who doesn't DNA extract to revive, he extracts because I am looking for rotters to add to my contact list. - User:Whitehouse 22:51, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Alternate use for syringes

Timestamp:	--Diablor 20:08, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
Type:	Change
Scope:	Syringes
Description:	With the new updates for drug stores hospitals have become very valuable. So valuable that survivors are practically screwed if they don't have a FAK when the hospital is overrun. Well what I propose is to let a syringe target someone who's infected and cure them/yourself with it. So say I get infected and the hospital is down and I don't have any FAK's, but the local NT is up so I run over there and spend about 6 ap looking for a syringe and find one and inject myself with it for 1 ap and over the course of this I've still probably loss about 10 hp at the least so that zombie that went a tried to infect everybody didn't get shafted. Oh and to clarify, yes the syringe is used up in the process of injecting it on a live person. And no this doesn't require any NT skills less people think it's too overpowered (Which imo would be bs but w/e)

Discussion (Alternate use for syringes)

The infections caused by zombie bites are simple bacterial infections- living bacteria in living tissue. Why would a revivification syringe (which revives the DEAD) kill living bacteria- and if it does, why would it not likewise kill living human tissue?  Swiers 20:55, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

I don't know I just figured that infected meant infected with a strain of the virus, not a simple bacterial strain. Where are you getting all this from anyways? --Diablor 21:09, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

I always assumed it from that fact that a FAK can cure an infection. If the infection were viral (or otherwise related to the zombie plauge's cause) then basic first aid supplies from a drug store would seem unlikely to provide a cure. Then again, some viruses are easy to kill with, say, soap, and some bacteria are resistant to powerful antibiotics, so.... meh, I guess neither interpretation really makes sense, nor is such "realism" important as simple game playability. Still, I'd rather not see building functions blurred so much; hospitals only recently became a really significant resource.  Swiers 21:30, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, it just doesn't seem realistic. Unlike Swieres, I though that it was a viral infection, and the FAKs just had antivirals in them, or at least something to suppress the symptoms. In game at least, it doesn't appear to be a strain of the zombie virus (it kills you, doesn't instantly turn you into a zed,) so it could be ether a simple virus, or a bacteria... Ether way, it just doesn't seem right that a NT syringe could cure it. Finally, from a gameplay POV, NecroTechs are important enough as they are, and hospitals only recently became very important, so meh. Linkthewindow  Talk  22:05, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

The human body is easily suspectible to poisons injected into it. I would imagine a syringe would kill you right out. What might make more since would be to justmake FAK more easily acquired at other locations.--Pesatyel 22:39, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Level Limit

Timestamp:	Kamikazie-Bunny 20:58, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Type:	Diversity
Scope:	All Players
Description:	As most players are probably aware once you reach level 43 (unless your rot free) you become exactly the same as everyone else... Varying XP costs encourage diversity for lower level characters but that soon becomes redundant once players begin accumulating XP with more ease. A level limit would help encourage higher level characters to focus their skills and be suited to particular roles. The level limit should not be high enough to penalise players who prefer different tactics or dual nature so a limit of 10% of the maximum possible skills should be acceptable. So I'm suggesting a maximum level based on the formula. Maximum Level = Skill Count - (Skill Count x 0.1) In order to prevent current players gaining an unfair advantage/losing skills I'd suggest the current limit be capped at lvl45 and this not be brought into effect until the Skill Count = 50. I am aware that this is not likely to happen for a while but I am putting this up for discussion now as opposed to in the future when the level cap would need to be higher.

Discussion (Level Limit)

No. Don't mess with other people's XP or choices. They worked for them. Linkthewindow  Talk  21:06, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

I kind of like that any player can do anything. I just wish there was more to do! --A Big F'ing Dog 21:53, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

'Leveling up' is not the point of this game. Role play. That will give you an infinite amount to do. Stop hiding in the malls and try to run a Rotter Revive Clinic. Have a zombie who goes into the middle of green suburbs and destroy buildings on your own. Repair ruined buildings. There are plenty of challenges beyond leveling. - tylerisfat 08:57, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

This is irrelevant and redundant as there already IS a level limit. Once you acquire all the skills (that you want) in the game, you have reached the limit. What you REALLY seem to be arguing is that Kevan shouldn't include more than 50 skills total. Or your suggesting there be single choice skills or something. I cna't tell becuase this suggestion is stupid.--Pesatyel 04:20, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

I'll try to simplify it for you as you can't seem to grasp the concept; two examples:

• When 50 skills are available the maximum amount you can have is 45.
• When 100 skills are available the maximum amount you can have is 90.

What this should mean is that when you have maxed out there will still be some variance amongst the top level players. Granted 5 out of 50 skills isn't too much of a difference when you consider that for quite a few players the ROT tree would make up some of those skills and there will be a core set (free run/barricade/lurching gate), but it would still promote a little variance. This has nothing to do with limiting the skills available in game, only the ones your character can make use of. The level cap till 50 was suggested to prevent problems if it was implemented now. As the game stands now imagine you were limited to 39 skills instead of 43, everyone would be almost identical but with slight variations making them better suited for certain tasks. At least I hope... --Kamikazie-Bunny 12:24, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

That DOES clarify things, thanks. The problem is is your limiting what skills that can be included and you don't take into account zombie skills. You also can't limit it that way. How would it work anyway? The only way it would work is if the next 7 skills are all included SIMULTANEOUSLY. Othwerwise you would not be able to dictate the limit. Once we hit 50 skills, HOW would you enforce the limit if everyon has 49 and the limit doesn't kick in until 50? To use your example of current mechanics, if I were limited to 39 skills instead of the full 43, players would be LOSING skills to meet the limitation and nobody would do that. I DO like the idea of diversity, but not THIS way. Not where players have to lose skills they aleady have.--Pesatyel 20:33, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

What might work better is to make it cost more to buy more skills. Say the first 10 are normal cost, then the next 5 cost double, the next five x4, the next five x8, the next five x16 (thats up to level 30 there) and so on. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Swiers (talk • contribs) 17:25, 13 December 2008 (UTC).

Hell no. This wouldn't change anything for the characters who only play one side, but would be a severe blow to dual nature characters. Also, the "encourage higher level characters to focus their skills and be suited to particular roles" thing is already done quite well by the limited inventory space. If you want to encourage it further, suggest a smaller inventory. The current limit is ridiculously high anyway. --Midianian ^{Big Brother Diary Room: [518,13]} 18:01, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Monroeville Endgame

Timestamp:	Blake Firedancer T E RNL? P.I.S.I.T. 09:41, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Type:	Scenario
Scope:	Monroeville characters
Description:	I think it's pretty safe to say that Monroeville is dead. Or, more accurately, undead. Thus, I propose the following 'endgame' scenario. The first stage of the endgame is to un-hide every character. Idling out no longer hides characters. In the same vein as Night of the Living Dead, the military is called in with the task of eliminating everything that still stands, burning the bodies as they go to fully eradicate the infestation. Eliminating a zombie is done the same way as in the movie: pile up the bodies and start a bonfire. Bonfires are started by use of a fuel can and flare gun. One fuel can will douse all bodies in an area, one Flare gun blast will ignite all doused bodies in an area. New characters can be made, but they will all be of the same class: "Marine". Marines start at Level 5 with an Assault Rifle, a pistol and an extra clip for each. Their starting skills are Basic Firearm Training, Basic Pistol Training, Radio Operation, Free Running and Headshot. Their task is to eliminate all the zombies in the city. After two weeks, no more marine characters can be made. From then on, the game has two possible outcomes: Marines win or Zombies win. Marines win if the only characters that are still alive are of the class Marine. Zombies win if all the characters still alive are of the class Zombie. In either case, once one of the two Monroeville Endgame outcomes is reached, the city is deemed officially over. All characters within will be deleted and we will finally be done with it.

Discussion (Monroeville Endgame)

The endgame already happened and zombies won. --Midianian ^{Big Brother Diary Room: [511,12]} 11:06, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Meh. I guess we need to end Monroeville someday... Linkthewindow  Talk  11:26, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

What about those survivors still alive?--Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 11:50, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

That's the only real problem with ending it now, but I can't really see a compromise. As Kevan said somewhere (I can't find the quote,) ether NecroTech sets up in Monroeville, or we simply transfer all characters to Malton. Personally, I don't like ether (NT-we don't want to split the player base too much, and people would expect the same for Borehamwood+future cities, and Malton, don't want to have a forced ending.) But that's just me. Linkthewindow  Talk  11:58, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

What I think would make a good end game would be a "scenario" style thing. All remaining survivors have to make it to a a given point within a given period of time to "escape" the city. If the the survivors can get to the location(s) and stay there for X amount of time, ah helicopter will rescue them. The military will send a radio transmission to anyone listening to the frequenc(ies) telling them the coordinates of up to 4 locations in the city and a period of time of, say 3 days, to start say 2 weeks from the first broadcast. Any survivors that can make it to one of those locations AND survive for, say 24 hours at the location will be "rescued". Also, if the player fires a flare from a clear location (ie. not one of the 4 coded locations, but clear, like a street, park or other space for a helicopter to land) there is, say, a 30% chance of rescue. Somthing like that.--Pesatyel 04:30, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Helicopters

Timestamp:	A Big F'ing Dog 18:54, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
Type:	Skill
Scope:	Survivors
Description:	Ok, I know vehicles have been suggested before and it's generally a bad/ridiculous idea but here I've tried to write a working idea for helicopters in game. Let me know what you think please. This suggestion has a few elements so I'll try to explain it as simple as possible. Helicopters would allow single survivors to travel between malls and forts, being the only places with large enough flat roofs or a helipad to land on. There would be a limited number of helicopters and obviously you could only use one if one is present. In mall squares or in the fort armory when a helicopter is present the room description would say "A helicopter is upstairs on the roof" or "X helicopters are on the roof" if there is more than one. If a helicopter is present survivors that purchase a "Piloting" skill would have a dropdown display. It would list every mall and both forts. If they have a fuel can they can fly to the location of their choice. Flying moves them, and the helicopter, to that location and deducts the fuel can from their inventory and lowers their AP by 15. I think a good number of helicopters would be 10 throughout the city, starting with 5 at each fort. Over time these would spread out and transfer between the 20 malls and 2 forts however survivors use them. Nothing prevents someone else from taking a helicopter you've used or plan to use, so it's impossible to reserve your ride. Such is the apocalypse. Helicopters are a communal resource and easily stolen, for good or ill. Helicopters cannot take off from ransacked armories or totally ransacked malls since there is no roof access. You can still fly to those locations though, but the helicopter will be stuck there until repairs are made. WHY INTRODUCE HELICOPTERS? You can't use it to reinforce or evacuate a location because it can only transfer the pilot. And if a pilot takes it for someone else to use that strands the pilot there. It has two uses: First is that it creates is a better network of communication and intelligence between the malls and forts. Pilots could land in, survey an area, and then tell other malls and forts in detail what they saw. "Hello Calvert. Just swung by Pole and Bale. Pole is ruined and has about 30 zombies inside, lucky one corner was empty so I could fix it and take off. Bale has about fifty survivors. No unruined NTs nearby though." Allows more precise information than the suburb mall status map, and would also help with updating it. Second is that it could let pilots drop into held territory, behind enemy lines as it were, and then escape. They could repair a building and withdraw, or fly in with FAKs or syringes from an unruined building across the city. What keeps this from getting too overpowered, in addition to maybe getting stranded if their destination is ruined, is that if the pilot wants to escape they can't use too much AP, and they've already taken 15AP to get there. So a pilot landing in dangerous territory has 35AP at most. Even if they fly back at 1AP and return home -14AP they can probably only revive two people. And to revive someone in dangerous territory they've already wasted 30AP to transport themselves, rather than find more syringes or revive people. Useful? Yes, sometimes. Overpowering? I think not but please, give me your feedback. Thank you for reading my long suggestion.

Discussion (Helicopters)

Sorry, but no. Leave the helicopters to the military. And come to think of it, all choppers would be shot down instantly by the military who don't want the virus to escape the city. - User:Whitehouse 19:28, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

That's why there wouldn't be an option to fly outside of the city (besides there not being an outside of the city). Going past the border would result in getting shot down. But within the city the helicopters operate without military interference.--A Big F'ing Dog 21:16, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

But logic wise how would that really stop you, or them? You have a helicopter, youre in a desperate situation, how many people do you think would take there chances?--G-Man 11:05, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Not a bad idea, but it falls into the "No Free Lunch" trap. Although these would be rare, in most cases, lowering your AP to 15 would be much better then a 15 day trip. At best, this could be an interesting scouting tool. At worst, it could make walking for long distances obsolete. Linkthewindow  Talk  22:09, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

That system has the problem of giving different travel costs. For example someone with 50AP would spend 35AP for a trip while someone with 40 would spend 25.

I don't think it's really free per se. It requires 15AP, plus a fuel can which takes a handful of AP to find.

As for making walking obsolete, the problem of taking the helicopter prevents that from happening. It doesn't allow the entire population of one building to travel the map because the copters have to be brought back. So maybe one person manages to escape the falling mall, or reinforce the building under siege, but that strands everyone else. A few individuals might be able to move quicker for personal reasons, but it wouldn't change a suburb's population by more than +-10. Hardly significant in the long run. Also, the number of working helicopters at any given point is probably going to be less than 10. A lot of them will be trapped on ruined buildings. Many flown there deliberately by death cultists.

Perhaps though travel costs should be higher, to discourage casual hops. 20AP maybe? What do you think?--A Big F'ing Dog 22:33, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

AP cost is irrelevant. It could cost 100 AP and this suggestion still wouldn't work. Why? Because its teleportation. Remember, zombies are players too. If you can instantaneously travel across the city (essentially) without having to deal with zombies at all, that's overpowered. Yes, it can be argued that the same can happen but quick clicking through squares or by free running, but even there zombies still have the chance to get in an attack or can follow.--Pesatyel 02:35, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Pesatyel brought up a good point-this is insanely pro-survivor. The author tries to fix that by making it "rare," but that doesn't help a thing. Just means that the survivors that can use then would have an advantage. Linkthewindow  Talk  02:51, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

While free lunches taste best, this will be dead in the water. --William Told 07:01, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Any air traffic from inside Malton would be shot down instantly before it had the chance of getting anywhere near the border. Remember, the people in the quarantine zone are to all effects and purposes invincible, they cannot be permanently killed. If they waited until some moron tried to fly over the wall to shoot it down all they'd get is a mini horde emerging from the wreckage, all it takes is for one of those to have infectious bite for the quarantine to be broken. The military wouldn't even wait for such a vehicle to take off, it'd be pre-emptively hit when noticed by the satellites or flyovers. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 14:36, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Even if the military didn't shoot them down immediately after taking off, anyone stupid enough to try and fly a helicopter without any training would either be unable to get it off the ground, or crash the thing in less than a minute. Does this look like something you could learn on your own? --Midianian^|T|DS|C:RCS| 14:59, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm not defending the suggestion (I already said my piece). I'm merely pointing out that the suggestion DOES list a new skill (Piloting). And if I can learn how to perform SURGERY on my own or how to mix chemicals in the right combination to create revival syringe, I can learn how to fly a helicopter.--Pesatyel 22:35, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Rope

Timestamp:	Athur birling 14:16, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
Type:	Item
Scope:	Survivors
Description:	I am suggesting the introduction of rope as a survivor item. It would apply to survivors. The length of rope will allow players to exit buildings they are barricaded into and cannot leave it would also allow players to scale down buildings without the risk of injury from the Jump from a Window option. The locations I am suggesting are fire deptartments, factories and warehouse. I am not experianced enough with search rates so I leave that to the proffesionals to decide the right search rates. The AP cost would be 2AP to exit the building. This includes scaleing down from lower floors.

Additional Firearms

Timestamp:	7:09 AM December 9
Type:	ect.
Scope:	Survivors
Description:	I'm fairly new to Urban dead, so researched on what type of things you could do, thats when I noticed their is only 2 actual firearms. Yes, anything beside a shotgun or pistol is unusual but, your bound to find something unusual in this place. I'm just suggesting 2 firearms to put into the game, maybe a SMG, Damage 5 points (4 against a flak jacket.) Base accuracy 5% Capacity 6 Bullets from Pistol Clip or 30 Bullets from SMG clip Locations Armories (3%), Police Departments (2%), Streets (1%?), Junkyards (1%?) Encumbrance 8% Special Fires 3 shots in 1 attack Assault Rifle Base Accuracy 10% Capacity 15 from rifle clip Locations Armories (2%), Police departments (2%), Streets (1%?), Junkyards (1%?) Encumbrance 25% And personally I believe that these weapons would make a great addition to the game.

And personally I believe that these weapons would make a great addition to the game. How does having a wider range of guns make the game any better? Either it makes survivors more able to kill (more guns = easier to find) or less able to kill / more frustrated (more types of guns = less likely to find the ammo you currently need) - but neither makes the better. And in fact, even the former doesn't really help survivors because revive / healing rates, not zombie killing power, are what enable survivors to do well. It would really just encourage trenchcoats and PKers.  Swiers 16:40, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

According to the page history, the user Monxer made this suggestion.

Actually, I've been considering suggesting a new starting class that starts with an Assault Rifle and an extra clip. However, I was thinking that neither the Assault Rifle, nor the ammo clips for it should be findable in Malton. That would balance the suggestion somewhat as this makes the weapon have a limited life span. --Blake Firedancer ^{T E RNL? P.I.S.I.T.} 19:13, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

That's an interesting idea, Blake, but then what's the point for Kevan coding for a new weapon (which I think would be a pain in the ass,) just so newbies can use it until they run out of ammo? Linkthewindow  Talk  08:14, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, level 1 players have very few ways to gain XP, given their accuracy ratings and such; a high-power weapon they can't restock might be just the thing to get them a level or two. --Blake Firedancer ^{T E RNL? P.I.S.I.T.} 08:49, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

You have to think simplistically. The pistol is medium damage medium capacity, the shotgun is high damage, low capacity. All that really leaves is low damage high capacity. But that is already covered by the SMG suggestions.--Pesatyel 02:07, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Low damage high capacity is covered by the fire axe and knife, which have INFINITE capacity.  Swiers 03:18, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Surely that leaves room for low damage, high capacity, high accuracy? I don't know, just a thought since we seem not to be factoring in the accuracy. - User:Whitehouse 03:24, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

The accuracies are much the same, 40% for an axe, 65% of the guns but less when you consider the ap spent searching for ammo.--xoxo 03:31, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Melee is a different category. I was talking about guns.--Pesatyel 02:37, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Other then flavor text, there is no real distinction between melee and firearms. Linkthewindow  Talk  02:40, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

It has to do with ammunition. A fire axe has 6% encumberance and can be used for every attack, 1 AP per attack. A shotgun also has 6% encumberance... but shells also weigh 2% individually. So a guy with an axe can attack 50 times, successful or not, for only 6% enucumbrance. A guy with a shotgun could attack 34 times but it would take 70% encumbrance to do that (a guy with a pistol 42 times for 20% encumbrance). Not to mention finding ammo.--Pesatyel 20:59, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Scent Enemy

Timestamp:	. . <== DDR Approved Editor 11:47, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Type:	Skill
Scope:	Career zombies, non-metagamers
Description:	After years of pestering by this suggestions process, Kevan finally gave career zombies an equivalent to Body Building and Flak Jackets in the form of Flesh Rot. This legitimises career zombie (i.e. a zombie that never seeks or needs to be revivified) play. This suggestion is the completion of the career zombie skill set. Scent Enemy is a sub-skill of Scent Fear (analogous to Scent Blood, Scent Death and Scent Trail), it is a second tier skill and will cost 100 experience points. Scent Enemy is identical in its mechanics to Necrotech Employment, except that it does not allow the operation of DNA Extractors. The skill allows the zombie to recognise Necrotech Buildings, they are marked on the map in the same way as they are through Necrotech Employment. The 'flavour reasoning' is that the zombie has developed their olfactory perceptions to the point where they can recognise the smell of the fluid contained within Revivification Syringes, as Necrotech Buildings manufacture this substance they can be differentiated from other buildings via smell. Revivification Syringes themselves cannot be detected (say to target a character carrying syringes over one without) as the syringes in question are hermetically sealed and do not allow the odour to permeate into the air. Therefore this is only of use in identifying buildings that produce syringes (or where they can be found in the context of game mechanics). The skill is not 'trans-mortal', a zombie that is revived will no longer be able to identify Necrotech Buildings (unless they have also or subsequently purchased Necrotech Employment). There is precedent in the current flavour (Scent Death) that the revive drug causes characters injected with it to smell differently, this merely expands it to those buildings where the chemical is present in its raw form. This is not overpowered in any way as the skill is available (as was Body Building and Flak Jackets) if a zombie gains a revive and the location of Necrotech Buildings is hardly a heavily guarded secret. This suggestion seeks to complete the career zombie's skill set for a complete set of mechanics and to reduce the need of zombies to metagame, even in the simplest form of referencing the wiki.

Discussion (Scent Enemy)

Tear apart at will. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 11:47, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

I'd prefer maybe an upgrade to Scent Death instead. Perhaps it should also color in squares with reviving bodies (I don't think it does this now right?). Then zombies could infer where necrotechs are since those are usually adjacent to or very close to revive points. --A Big F'ing Dog 16:52, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Adding more colour to the map is problematic, we had no end of problems getting Scent Death to work for the colourblind. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 09:43, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

you made scent death work for the colourblind??? How, i never use it cos i can't make sense of of it :(--Honestmistake 00:28, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Originally the shades of colour used were too similar if view greyscale (representing colourblindness) they were altered to make them clearer even when viewed this way. Swiers wrote a decoding Scent Death piece somewhere that explains about the display. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 00:34, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Limiting it to zombies is inconsistent as Scent Death's strangely smelling bodies do carry over to survivors. If it's the same fluid you can recognize from the corpses in small amounts, you should definitely be able to recognize it in the huge amounts an NT building would have. What's the point of making it zombies-only? It's not like getting this skill instead of NT Employment would be sensible for survivors as this is more expensive (2nd tier) and less useful (no DNA extracting, must buy NT Employment anyway if you want the subskills). --Midianian ^{Big Brother Diary Room: [518,09]} 18:45, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Very true, that sentence was there to stop trenchies whining, I never saw it as a problem if it was trans-mortal, but you have to consider your audience. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 09:43, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Surprisingly, I can't find a dupe. What Midianian said has a point though, and limiting this to zombies would be inconsistent (should NT Employment's bonuses be limited to survivors, then?) Unlike Dog, however, I would just prefer it to branch off the "Scent" tree like other zombie skills. Linkthewindow  Talk  20:18, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

I agree that zombies should be able to recognize NT buildings. I'm not sure why you want this skill not to be "trans-mortal" though, since zombies with the NT Employment can identify the NT's. --Janus ^talk 20:34, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

The lack of trans-mortal application was purely to stop trenchies whining. The downside is the lack of Extractor use IMO, as it doesn't seem to be a sticking point I'll remove the section about it not being trans-mortal on the revised text. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 09:43, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Meh. I appreciate what you'e trying to do, but I really don't think this is skill-worthy. As you said, the locations of NT buildings are hardly secret. Also, it's currently entirely possible to identify a suspected NT building ingame without NecroTech Employment or any metagame resources: if a building has a high number of zombies outside and a large number of revived bodies outside or adjacent blocks, it's likely, and can be confirmed by breaking in and seeing whether it has the NecroTech logo inside. Heck, even the fact of meeting a defense makes it likely to be an NT, because normal buildings are virtually worthless. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 22:41, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

I don't think Graffitti is skill worthy, but that's a whole different rant about useless survivor skills. The difference is that anyone who's been revived probably has NT Employment, and thus there are no 'suspected' NT buildings to them, this just allows players wanting to be exclusively zombie to gain the same benefit. It's a skill because the survivor analogue is also a skill. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 09:43, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

You're forgetting that NecroTech Employment is required to use a DNA Extractor, an excellent source of easy XP and useful source of intel. Identifying NTs is pretty much a minor side benefit. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 13:16, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Can they smell someone who is carrying needles? - tylerisfat 22:51, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

No. As is mentioned in the suggestion text, syringes are sealed, zombies with Scent Enemy will not be able to distinguish between survivors with and without needles using this skill. This only allows the identification of NT buildings using similar flavour to Scent Death and the mechanics of NT Employment. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 09:43, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Ah, missed that somehow. Late night. - tylerisfat 02:10, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

udtoolbar or whatever shows them differently, it's a nice touch and i wouldn't oppose it, but i don't really see the need.--xoxo 23:25, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

It's all about giving career zombie players equal abilities in the game mechanics without forcing them to play outside their chosen (and genre true) play style. Yes they could use plug ins, but people constantly go on about plug ins not working on different browsers (although personally, anyone who doesn't use Firefox is a Philistine and should be shot), also it should not be required for any player to use a single plug in. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 09:43, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

I can appreciate giving career zombies equal abilities, but I don't think that necessarily implies identical abilities (with all due regard to Brown v. Board of Education). Zombies' scent abilities tend to allow zombies to know extra information about their current map location, and (with AP expenditure), extra information about their surrounding area. I would make this suggestion with this paradigm in mind: Scent Enemy should allow zombies to determine NT if they're outside it, and should place an asterisk within NT locations on the Scent Death mini-map. -- Galaxy125 19:47, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

This fits better under Memories of Life. --WanYao 10:48, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

They don't remember the NT buildings, they smell the chemicals, hence Scent tree. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 11:00, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Makes sense. Just as zombies shouldn't have to become human to get 60 HP and a flack jacket, zombies shouldn't have to become human to get the NT-identifying ability. Also, the more information provided IN-game (vs. having to look in the metagame for it) the better. And no one should be forced to use plug-ins. --Jen 14:59, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

I'll vote for this when survivors get their own version of ankle grab for standing up after a revive, and when they get their own version of scent death for identifying reviving bodies. Personally I don't wish to encourage playing for one side only. - User:Whitehouse 20:02, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Logical, but in the current game climate, unnecessary. Also shouldnt the same then apply for knifes and axes? --xoxo 01:18, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Depends on your definition of unnecessary. I think it makes more sense, and as far as knives and axes, no. They have a very specific blade on them, and should have cut accuracy. Go into a dark place and swing and axe around and tell me that you can do it almost the same as in the light. You're more likely to hurt yourself then something else. - tylerisfat 23:55, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

For the sake of balance and RP, axes should be included too. Other then that, this suggestion is unbalanced as it raises zombie hit rates, but not survivor's. Finally, a person could get a decent idea of were their target is in the dark, by noises that it makes. Zombies are quite loud ;). Linkthewindow  Talk  01:23, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Yes, however, I've can recall plenty of occasions where they are silent. _■^■ 03:30, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

I think you all need to watch more zombie movies. Forget the new dawn of the dead. There are plenty of scenes that aren't action scenes, where a person is creeping around a dark house, looking for whatever it is they are looking for, and then a zombie JUMPS OUT AND GRABS THEM! BOO! But seriously. For sake of balance, is the point of this suggestion. Its addressing a situation that is, currently out of balance. I love playing my survivors, but there should, realistically speaking, be absolutely no benefit, mechanics wise, for a survivor in a dark building. At all. Human players can put in generators, repair it, and that is there state, which serves their needs. Zombie players destroy the Generators and ransack, thus that state should serve them. - tylerisfat 23:55, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

This might make a useful "bonus" ability for a melee weapon. Pipes can be used for barricading, crowbars can be used for debarricading, knives are the newbie weapon, axes are the power weapon. I think the tennis racket or cricket bat (maybe the baseball bat or fencing foil) would be fitting here as they are closer range weapons than most of the others (meaning they need less swinging room than the the others).--Pesatyel 08:02, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Pretty sure you need to come in closer to knife a guy than you do to hit him with a cricket bat. Same goes for beer bottles. --William Told 00:46, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

As I said, the knife already has a extra use (its the newbie weapon). Same for the bottle (it heals and is a one use weapon). The point is to make the other melee weapons nobody uses beyond roleplay reasons more useful. People use knives, axe pipes and (kinda) crowbars) but NOBODY uses baseball bats, cricket bats, fencing foils, tennis rackets, ski poles, golf clubs or hocket sticks because they are inferior to the first 4 items.--Pesatyel 04:31, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

If I put this up for voting, i will almost definitely not be doing anything of the sort. There isn't a need for a 'specialty' for the worthless weapons. Or, I should say, their specialty is that they ARE worthless weapons. Sometimes new characters have to use them. RP players use them. Thats all thats needed. It really has nothing to do with this suggestion. - tylerisfat 23:55, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

I like it and see no reason why it needs balancing with a survivor version. Fighting in the dark isn't just about finding your target, a big part of the problem is in the inherent fear of being unable to see... try closing your eyes and running in an open space and you will start to see what I mean! Zombies don't have so much fear and probably don't feel pain the same way so i have no problem with them thrashing away regardless--Honestmistake 09:00, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

I think this is based on a very faulty presumption. Try running into something in the dark, putting a gun muzzle against it, and pulling the trigger. A good bit easier than grabbing hold and biting a vulnerable bit, isn't it?  Swiers 17:45, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

True. But then why have a hit percentage at all for guns? You could always run right up. I think, using present game play models as an example, it is assumed that it is not going to happen. And its still pretty hard to run through a dark, destroyed building and start grabbing things and trying to find where to shoot it. - tylerisfat 23:55, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

It's a game. Don't think too hard about it :P --xoxo 00:16, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

But I am in work... if I don't think hard about this i might have to actually do something ;) --Honestmistake 10:49, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

So, the general consensus is... some people think it should apply to melee weapons, some people don't... voting or no? - tylerisfat 22:50, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

It's simple: negate dark penalties if and only if your zombie has a Tangling Grasp in place. I'd accept this even if only applied to bites. --WanYao 10:58, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

You can get a rather good estimate of the repair cost simply by reading the building's decay-level description. Sure, it's only good for 0 to 60 -- it doesn't differentiate between buildings costing 62, or 82, or 202 AP to repair...but at that point, does it really matter? It's been ruined over two months, and you're going into negative AP regardless. --Jen 13:58, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

No,not a good suggestion, It might deter people from repairing the high AP buildings, maybe someone would repair it if it was 46 AP but the est shows 50 AP and they decide its not worth the risk getting back to safety? --mo ヽ(´ー｀)ﾉ 14:52, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

I'd be fine with no incidation bar decay level – as dark buildings need to be lit to be repaired, you can get a quick sight estimate (as Jen mentioned) and then simply get the exact cost once you power up the genny. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 21:45, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Blood Rot

Type:	Skill
Scope:	Zombies.
Description:	This skill can only be purchased after the Brain Rot skill is had. If a zombie can make a fatal blood rot bite, then the victim can only be revived from inside a powered NT building. Thus Blood Rot turns survivors into zombies with temporary Brain Rot. I think this will had a fun twist to game dynamics for both players wanting to be revived and survivors looking to revive players. Survivors infected with Blood Rot will need try to gain entrance into NT buildings instead of the wait in line approach now used. When the fatal bite is given the dead survivor will see "You are dead and the taint of blood rot runs through your veins." The percentage chance for the fatal blood rot bite should be the same as a Head Shot that survivors enjoy.

Agreed, im sorry but this woulden't be fun for the majority of survivor characters. If they wanted the challage they would get brain rot. Much as I love the idea of harder to revive survivors, more open NT's and the balance shift that would surely cause im against the idea. Hell I'ed probably quit my survivor characters as I play them to actually be a survivor the majority of the time, not an undead character who has to travel to a current clinic or threaten the lives of my fellow survivors just to become one. As well those who don't actually metagame would be wholly screwed as theyed be stuck to the local NT's who may not have friendly open arms. If its a minority of players it works, if its a majority we'll only have problems.--G-Man 00:11, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

First of all, learn how to play a little more before suggesting something like this. The percentage chance of a headshot is one hundred percent. If you have the skill, it automatically happens if you kill a zombie. This is, effectively, giving the target automatic brain rot and HAS been suggested before. This wouldn't hurt survivors. It would hurt the game. A lot of survivors HATE playing as zombies and suggestions that "force them to" usually go down in flames. Survivors that hate playing as zombies will either quit (at least quit playing that particular character) or play as Mrh?-Cows (which is pathetic). But if you force those Mrh-Cows to have auto-Brain Rot, they will just quit.--Pesatyel 02:46, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
