20090609 Gameplay Change - Stand Up

Rolfero 17:42, 9 June 2009 (BST)

Suggestion type
Gameplay Change

Suggestion scope
Players without Ankle Grab

Suggestion description
This simply lowers to AP Cost to stand up to 5, instead of 10. If you got a headshot, you'll spend 10 AP instead of 15 to stand up. Ankle Grab will still only allow you to rise at a cost of 1AP. (headshot+ankle grab=6AP).

Keep Votes

1. keep - I like hamburgers.--Mr. Angel, Help needed? 17:48, 9 June 2009 (BST)
2. keep - Me too. Author Vote Roxorz? Haha author vote ain't number 1 ;P --Rolfero 17:50, 9 June 2009 (BST)
3. Keep - Newbie zombies have it damned tough, saving them 5 AP a day is worth it. --  RoosterDragon  17:59, 9 June 2009 (BST)
4. Keep - Having more AP to create havoc is going to be fun for both sides.-- Adward  18:00, 9 June 2009 (BST)

   Keep - I was about to slam this for unbalance but then I remembered that Ankle Grab is the number two or three choice (after Gait and maybe an attack skill), so this only helps very new zombies - just the kind we want to stick with the game. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 18:49, 9 June 2009 (BST)

5. Keep - Needed. Also, NOT a dupe. Vigor Mortis upgrade requires a Skill purchase, while this one does not. An improvement, IMO.--Zombie Lord 19:32, 9 June 2009 (BST)
6. Keep ↑ --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 19:38, 9 June 2009 (BST)
7. Keep I like to be able to do stuff when I log on. When 1/5 of my AP is spent standing up, it really sucks.--Bjorn 20:44, 9 June 2009 (BST)
8. How can you dupe something in UNDECIDED? Beyond that, this is significantly different enough to not even BE a dupe.--Pesatyel 03:53, 10 June 2009 (BST)
   • Sheeesh. It's a dupe even if the original in rejected or spaminated. --WanYao 04:52, 10 June 2009 (BST) - non author reply struck. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 13:11, 10 June 2009 (BST)
9. Keep - Being headshot as a newbie zombie is painful, losing near one third of your points is just wrong. I disagree with the dupe voters, see Zombie Lord's vote. User:Whitehouse 13:04, 10 June 2009 (BST)
10. KeepThe game is hard enough when you have first been turned into a z with low attack skills, 2ap to move etc I think this would ease the difficulty for newbs without being too drastic a change.--C Whitty 19:26, 11 June 2009 (BST)
11. Keep - As Whitty. --Haliman - Talk 19:24, 16 June 2009 (BST)
12. Keep - As Whitehouse --Brian Eetar ^DTD|CFT|GMG 12:28, 18 June 2009 (BST)
13. Keep - As Zombie Lord --The Dark Shadow 19:54, 19 June 2009 (BST)

Kill Votes

1. kill - This isn't specifically a boon to new zombie players. It just reduces the penalty of dying for all characters. As a new character I liked having to make decisions about which skills I would get next. This just diminishes the importance of ankle grab for all character classes and makes the existing skill a less sexy pick. --_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 19:40, 9 June 2009 (BST)
2. Dying is hard until you get used to doing it. "Don't do that, then." ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 04:49, 12 June 2009 (BST)
3. Kill - Really not seeing why this is necessary. It's not the AP cost to stand up that discourages new players anyways--it's the whole dying part. --Maverick ^{Talk - OBR 404} 18:26, 13 June 2009 (BST)
4. Kill - It defeats a few aims of urban dead, to gain MOAR SKILLZ! If a newbie zombie only needs 5AP to stand up, he won't feel he needs to play as much, slowing down gameplay for all of us. --Angusburger 10:58, 20 June 2009 (BST)

Spam/Dupe Votes

1. Dupe - This suggestion (undecided) is almost identical in both intent and effect, the only difference is that it's an effect of Vigour Mortis and not a freebie. It is exactly identical in practice if you're starting a brand new zombie. --WanYao 19:20, 9 June 2009 (BST)
   • ftr I support the idea. Headshot to babah zambahz is a horrible discourgement for new players. --WanYao 19:34, 9 June 2009 (BST)
     • But it isn't exactly identical for new survivor players. Being eaten by zombies is also a dircouragement for new survivors. --Rolfero 19:38, 9 June 2009 (BST)
       • • further discussion on Talk page
2. Dupe - As WanYao. The wiki is strong with him. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 19:25, 9 June 2009 (BST)
   • Re: I didn't see that one. Oh well, this is a slightly bit different. Which is why I think BobBoberton here shouldn't change to Dupe, as it doesn't change gameplay for zombies with vigor mortis only. Check Zombie Lord's post above. --Rolfero 19:33, 9 June 2009 (BST)

   I'm good, thanks. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 20:53, 9 June 2009 (BST)

3. Dupe - As above. --Private Mark 19:28, 9 June 2009 (BST)
4. Duple - Disc Space = Cheap! --Sonny Corleone ^{DORIS I jizzed in my pants pr0n} 19:36, 9 June 2009 (BST)
5. Dupe - As Above. --Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 10:59, 10 June 2009 (BST)
6. Dupe - As above, plus I believe in making players (not just zeds, mind) work hard for their keep. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 13:09, 10 June 2009 (BST)
7. Dupe - As above, aslo i don't like the idea anyway. --^TCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 16:46, 11 June 2009 (BST)

Voting Rules

Current Suggestions Advice to Suggesters Adding options to your suggestion is not good practice. Others will not vote on the options, only the main body; please don't ask them to do so. Once you have posted your suggestion, it is considered complete. Altering the suggestion mechanics after voting has begun nullifies existing votes, and is considered an abuse of the suggestions system. Doing so will result in your suggestion being removed from the voting system to removed suggestions, where you can work out the details and resubmit later if you desire. It is preferred that you remove your own suggestion and resubmit a new version with changes, if changes are needed. "Notes" added for clarification purposes, and correcting spelling/typos are permitted. When considering adding a clarification note, it is often better for all parties involved, for the author to remove the suggestion and resubmit it with the clarification included for the voters who have already placed their votes. Advice to Voters You are voting on Suggestions, not Users. The text of your vote should not personally attack or denigrate the user who has submitted it... no matter how ridiculous the idea. Flaming and/or Trolling will not be tolerated. Before voting please read the Suggestions Dos and Do Nots and Frequently Suggested Ideas Page to read about concepts that have been generally considered unworkable in the past. You do not need to follow the guidelines on these pages but they are worth consideration before casting a vote. One vote per user. No exceptions. You cannot use multiple wiki accounts to vote on a suggestion. To Vote, use the [edit] button at the top of the voting section, then enter your vote in the the proper format to the end of the relevant section (keep/kill/spam). It is strongly recommended that voters (especially in the kill/spam sections) justify their vote to help others understand the reason they disagree. Feedback helps new suggesters get a feel for what the community does and does not want included in Urban Dead, and a deeper understanding of the balance needed for a workable suggestion. Votes must include a signature in order to be considered valid votes. To sign a vote, use --~~~~. Please remember to sign your votes! Unsigned votes will be deleted after 30 minutes or when found. Each Suggestion will be open to voting for two (2) weeks, measured from the suggestion's Timestamp, unless it is a Dupe or Spam. If, at the end of that time, there are two thirds (2/3) more Keep votes than Kill votes, the Suggestion will be moved to the Peer Reviewed Suggestions page. Otherwise, the Suggestion will be moved to the Peer Rejected Suggestions page.

Rules for Discussions Votes are NOT the place to discuss Suggestions. This page and archived suggestion pages only to be used for the Suggesting and subsequent Voting of these suggestions. If you wish to discuss the suggestion or vote here, please use this page's Talk page (Suggestion talk:20090609 Gameplay Change - Stand Up). Suggestions do not have to be submitted in order to discuss them. Developing Suggestions can be used to workshop possible suggestions before they are submitted.

Valid Votes Keep, for Suggestions that you believe have merit. Kill, for Suggestions that you believe do not have merit. If you need to discuss a rule fix, use the discussion page. Spam, for the most ridiculous suggestions. Suggestions can be removed with Spam votes as described on the cycling suggestions page. If the criterion described there are not fulfilled, the suggestion must remain for the whole two weeks. Spam votes are not a "strong kill", they are simply here to prevent the utterly ridiculous from clogging up the system. If you do not like the idea, and it's not some crazy uber power or something else ridiculous, VOTE KILL, NOT SPAM. Spam votes will be counted as Kill when votes are tallied. Dupe, for Suggestions that are exact or very close duplicates of previous suggestions. For a Dupe vote to be valid, a link must be provided to the original suggestion. Dupe votes can be used to remove suggestions as described on the cycling suggestions page. Dupe votes will not be counted when votes are tallied. Humourous, for suggestions that are obviously intended to be satirical, or of comedic value only.}} Suggestions can be removed with Humourous votes as described on the cycling suggestions page. If the criterion described there are not fulfilled, the suggestion must remain for the whole two weeks.

Invalid Votes Server Load and Programming Complexity are NOT very good Kill reasons. You are voting on the merit of the suggestion and whether or not you think it belongs in the game. Server load/complexity issues are up to Kevan to decide. X should be implemented first is not a valid reason for a vote. You are voting on the merit of THIS suggestion, not how it compares to others. Votes that do not have reasoning behind them are invalid. You MUST justify your vote.

Comments Re may be used to comment on a vote. Only the original author and the person being REd can comment. Comments are restricted to a single comment per vote, and it is expected that Re comments be as short as possible. Reing every kill vote is considered abuse of the Re comment. A Re does not count as a vote, and any subsequent discussion not part of the Re comment should be held on the discussion page if there is any extended commenting. Note is used by System Operators to invalidate trolling-based votes. Only Sysops may remove troll-based votes and they do so with a strikeout <s></s> in order to preserve the trolling removal for posterity. The voter may contest the strikeout with the Sysop that struck their vote out on the discussion page. Only a System Operator may remove a strikeout.

All Caps Try to avoid YELLING, writing in bold, or using italics, except when emphasizing a point which has escaped other voters.
