Random Events

| Type: Events |
| Scope: Game Mechanic |
| Description: Now, I haven't been around for two years, nor have I been active for two years, but I do notice things. Like the massive decrease in player numbers.
In the time I've been gone, I've played various sandbox games. Skyrim, Grand Theft Auto, Lego Marvel Superheroes...Besides flashy graphics and being single player, what made these games enjoyable? Was it the adventuring and discovering new places you've never been to before in Skyrim? Or maybe the heists in GTA? Or perhaps it was collecting all of those gold bricks in Lego Marvel Superheroes. In the past, Urban Dead had all of these events - Mall Tour, the Dead's tour, you name it, it's happened. But the thing was...All of these events (minus the Easter Egg Hunt and even the airdrops) were all planned by the player base themselves. Yes, I know. It's a taboo to suggest the inclusions of NPCs or events, or even leaving the options of what to kind of events would happen to Kevan, and heck, this is probably even a dupe, but I think Urban Dead needs randomized events. Non-player planned events. Maybe a random building was struck down by a passing horde that came out of nowhere, or you searched and found something amazing inside a random building out of sheer luck. It could even be an assassination plot, both successful or failed as you slept through the night, or even a temporary decrease in supplies for the day. Just...Anything. Anything random that would occur at server reset every day, and last anywhere from a few seconds to until the next reset. It could range from a destructive event that takes out one random building, to being able to find supplies for a day in a random building that normally would not house those items, to finding a new flavour text at a random location for the day. Discuss. |

| Scope: Fun! |
| Description: Somewhere in Malton there is a seemingly random office building...
You are inside the XXX Building. A side office contains a desk with a Big Red Button. When the building is powered You are inside the XXX Building. A side office contains a desk with a Big Red Button. The button glows ominously Those who dare may choose to Push the button, You push the Big Red Button... |

So there's no indication of exactly what it does yet? A ZOMBIE ANT 00:32, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Discussion (A New City)
What would you want in this new city? How would it be different from regular UD?JoshCz (talk) 03:26, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
- Just a new city. That's all I got. Maltons dead. Hell, I'd go for a new game of UD 2 if Kevan would get necrotech syringed and come back to life.-- Jerrel tlk (82nd!) (Project Unwelcome!). 20:27, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
To have a new game or a new city, you have to get some new idea to put in it. Why not just put that new idea in the old game? It would probably be a lot less work and if its shiny enough people will come back to the game and make it feel full again. I want to work on that idea, I think the one I have (the UD lottery) would make the game feel shiny, is flexible enough to be expanded upon, and importantly would bring in revenue (and incentive) for Kevan. I need to get people's thoughts on it though.JoshCz (talk) 16:17, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Lottery

Description: In the last round of discussion of the lottery idea xyu brought up a good point that it was a very complex idea, and would be hard to implement. so to make the lottery idea actually work in the game, it should be implemented progressively adding one winner type at a time. This would also give the community a kill switch if they hate the idea. The lottery will be held at the start of the month, all lvl 10 or above zombie players can buy tickets for 100xp or 1000xp if they have over 25000xp. There will be 15 winners. The zombies chosen will mutate into
This is one of the more interesting winners and one that I feel represents the idea well. Hopefully this zombie will help with zombie organization, encouraging play between non-affiliated players. Also it would make things more dangerous and interesting for the Malton survivors, giving them a dangerous foe to hunt in the city. If the idea works we can continue to add things to it to continue the fun. |
