Talk:S.O.S.
It finally feels like a zombie apocalypse, eh -- boxy talk • teh rulz 05:58 2 December 2008 (BST)
So, what would need to change?
It is a zombie apocalypse game, but it's an open-ended on with no victory conditions for Humans. The only avenue is really zombie victory and thus game termination and restart. If the actual point of the game is for eventual zombie domination, then no changes are really needed.
One possible change would be to undermine the zombies just continually standing up where they drop. If zombies were randomly respawned on the city map several blocks away after a headshot, the hordes would be somewhat diminished and would give human players something of a chance when the swarms come.
Balance?
I agree that the zeds have the better end of the stick at this time. Nice would be weapons that could damage more than 1 zed at a time like a molitov cocktail, or having the cost of rising from the dead higher. That said, a never ending balance is another kind of hell. What would happen if the revive syringes got less effective, and the cost of rising again was 20 AP? I think that it would increase the value of staying alive, and not getting killed no matter what you state was living or dead. I wonder if Kevan is looking to rest the game after a final zombie victory?
Let's get wiped out?
After all is it so wrong for zombie apocalypse? Lets get an end date with rescue coming and nuking of all zombies afterwards ;) and see if anyone makes it. However if Malton is to stay open-ended some extra zombie hunter skills would be just what the doctor ordered. Well, actually some new zombie hunter skills that are really annoying for zombies. Right now it's impossible to actually hurt them. It costs 1-6AP with Ankle Grab to get going again and barricades can't do the job against hordes (even though cumulative APs of builders would be enough to make zombies bash it for eternity, it's good enough for zeds if they wake up at a given time, bash it down in seconds and break in en masse, before first builder waking up). To add suggestion not yet mentioned - zombies may somehow wear-out. Headshots (or new skill) could lower their AP regeneration cumulatively. First would hurt only as much as current version of HS. However getting hits to the brain daily would mean meager AP regeneration in a weak. Effect would go away completely after like 3 days of not getting banged. Feeding on fallen enemies could also lower it.
Making this better
You know, you could make this bigger. Give pro-survivor groups and solo's the chance to show support, make a "signed by" list for example. Make support templates. Just some ideas.--Thadeous Oakley 22:16, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

A little late
Kevan has already upped search rates back up to your little trenchie hearts' desires earlier this week. What's the point of this if the problem has been fixed? It'll take time but you'll get back to your easy living ways that made the game far too easy for you to survive in game. ZOMG, we're not the majority.... THE GAME IZ TEH BROKEN! Give me a break. --Johnny Bass 22:57, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

I can understand how, when faced with a challenge, a person can become resentful... but we've seen worse times. Just because your formerly green suburb is no longer an Eden doesn't mean you can't have fun. Hell, have you seen Barrville lately? AH is sitting pretty, dodging zeds, catching revives... and enjoying it.

- That's not the point - that a suburb has turned from green to red. The point is that they have ALL turned - there are no green suburbs left. When over half of the suburbs are either red or ghost towns (as they are now), to me this is a sign that things are clearly out of whack. And each day that goes by makes it harder to do something about those ghost towns because of the cumulative effects of ruin. No one is resentful here but we do feel that we have a legitimate point. --Lucas Black
