Shove Zombies
| Timestamp: Scvideoking 02:58, 10 May 2010 (BST) |
| Type: Skill |
| Scope: Survivors |
| Description:OK se we all know a zombie can grab us and drag us to street level at some point right?
well how about survivors can shove zombies out windows? I mean its realistic and a bit more fair. This would have the same use as a weapon except if you succeded text would be You grab the zombie by the neck and shove it with all your might out the nearest window Heres are examples
there is 2 zombies here(AP would be 10 to shove one out of the dark building)
There is 1 zombie here(5 AP to shove out)
There is 1 zombie here(3 AP) What happens to the zombie? he is forced to street level and needs to stand up HP loss is 2 for they are already dead. What do you think? |
Discussion (Shove Zombies)
I think you need to learn to follow the instructions at the top of this page, rather than thinking you can outsmart them by just copy/pasting from someone else (I had to fix it for you, just as someone has to for almost every suggestion you make). I also think it's a horribly overpowered idea. You're essentially giving survivors an insta-kill against zombies that always works and will cost 5ap or less in most cases. Currently, the cheapest way to remove a zombie from a building is to revive it, which costs 10AP for the revive, an average of 12AP for the searching, 1AP for the body dump, and some unknown amount of AP for travel to and from the NT facility. So, you're suggesting we go from the best method being, say, 30AP to 5AP, and you see nothing wrong with this at all? —Aichon— 03:27, 10 May 2010 (BST)
Yes this is entirely equal to feeding drag. Perhaps better adherence to barricade plans, HIPS, damn tactics, Sutherland's, or any number of good tactical doctrines expounded on this wiki would mean that you'd be better prepared to HOLY FUCKING SHIT A ZOMBIE WE ARE SO SHITTERED 
03:33, 10 May 2010 (BST)
The only way I would get behind this is if the attack rates were as follows:
- 10% you shove the zombie out the window
- 10% you and the zombie both go out the window
- 80% you miss the zombie and fall out the window
Naturally, if the survivor goes out the window, s/he dies as per usual. Then MAYBE I could get behind this. --Maverick Talk - OBR

Yet Another Flashlight/Torch/Portable Light Source Suggestion
| Timestamp: BoboTalkClown 15:53, 8 May 2010 (BST) |
| Type: Item |
| Scope: Searchers of dark and unlit buildings and the zombies and PKers that hunt them. |
| Description: Below is the text from the Portable Light Sources section with my comments as to address its points. Please read my suggestion before voting.
“Portable Light Sources” “Flashlight, torch, lantern, or glowstick. No matter what you call it, a portable light source is overpowered.”
“Light sources boost search rates and aid skills like Surgery.”
“There is a huge difference between a portable generator and one of the previously mentioned items. A generator is carried until set up and then always in place until destroyed. A portable (or personal) light source will be kept in a player's inventory until dropped by that player. The portable personal light source offers all of the benefits with out any of the risk. It can not be destroyed as long as it is in an inventory.”
It can't be balanced by limiting the length of duration and adding a fuel source that needs to be found because it will only be used when searching for more fuel for it. Thereby removing the "balancing factor" of the time and fuel.
If the item is also able to be turned off and on at will it makes it ridiculously unfair due to the fact that the main balancing drawback of a lit building is the fact that it attracts zombies.

Being fairly new to the wiki, perhaps I'm missing something, but what are the actual details of your suggestion?--Austin hunt 18:38, 8 May 2010 (BST)
- Yeah, it seems like there's something missing. Also I'm not keen on the idea in general, to be honest. 18:40, 8 May 2010 (BST)
You refute arguments, but you seem to have entirely forgotten to actually tell us about your suggestion. Portable light source, got it. But what are the details? --Maverick Talk - OBR 404 07:56, 10 May 2010 (BST)
Identification by Clothing (IbC)
| Timestamp: Murdoc 13:06, 5 May 2010 (BST) |
| Type: New characters identification system |
| Scope: Improve Bounty Hunter vs PK game |
| Description: Hey buddies,
One of my PK-oriented characters has just been condamned to be killed again and again by some lousy bunch of crappy guys. I don't fear them and I am heading back to their HQ in order to randomly fire all my guns at them. BUT (the actual suggestion begins here :) ) It would be cool if the first thing of a survivor you can see is his clothing. This way, he could change after having comitted a forfeit, and the whole PK/bounty hunters thing will be a lot funnier. Moreover, it would require a lot of talents to be a Bounty Hunter, which is challenging. Currently, any stupid weaponed guy can be one, which is a shame. The cool stuff would be : all characters are designated the same way on the map. You click on one, and you see the clothes he wears. If there is no interaction between you and the character, you just see his clothes. If the guy hits you, you see his name in the text saying "XxX hits you with a fire axe/shot you with a gun/whatever". If the guy speaks, you also see his name. So the Bounty Hunters will have to make suspected people speak to gently check their names. If the guy builds anything, you see his name. So if he barricades a building in the rage of a siege, and a bounty hunter is present, their will be a cool movie-like scene were the guys are united by danger but divided by revenge. If you hit the guy, you see his name. This way, if BH suspect a people who just don't talk, they could check his identity. As it is a rule that incitates people to hit others, their will be a bit more chaos in Malton. And healers will havea bit more work to do. Edit : of course, it implies that all characters receive random clothes at the beginning of the game. And you cannot just put anything. You have to wear something at any moment in the game. |
Discussion (Identification by Clothing (IbC))
Would discourage to fill out profile descriptions as only a fraction gets to see them, makes role-playing difficult, makes zerg-hunting and -detecting difficult, would really run the contacts list limit to the hilt quickly... And those are just the first few severe mistakes I thought of in the first minute of reading this. I'd really prefer to give a friendlier conclusion and some advice for improvement with a new user's first suggestion, but all what this one leaves me to say is this: Spaminate this and kill it with fire, just to be sure. -- Spiderzed▋ 13:55, 5 May 2010 (BST)
- Likewise. Also, it'd look far too unwieldy in actual usage. 14:18, 5 May 2010 (BST)
I'm ok with you remarks, except that I do think it would greatly enhances the role-playing ^^
How would they be displayed on the map exactly? Would it be like there is a herd of 52 mrh co- *Ahem* survivors here? (Although that makes it nigh impossible to click individual people) Or would it be ...,a survivor, a survivor, a survivor, a survivor, etc etc etc... That approach though is horrifically clunky at best, and utterly bewildering to new bloods at worst. While it would be nice to see the newspaper achieve importance (100% to hit 0 DAM, perfect for finding out names) This is not the way to do it. I have no idea how this would affect UDtool lists, but I'd wager it wouldn't be good. Simply put it makes us too powerful, as it is I'm only recognized in certain areas the rogues gallery has recognized 3 of my kills, This would just let me slip in and murder without having to make a contingency plan. Being hunted is half the fun of pking. -Devorac 17:00, 5 May 2010 (BST)
Non-compatible with URL. I note down the URL of your clothing page, type it in to google, and I'll instantly know who you are.--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 17:41, 5 May 2010 (BST)
The suggestion is a little difficult to read. All I had to read was the scope to immediately think "no". PKing does NOT need to be promoted. That having been said, as I understand the suggestion, this is ALREADY part of the game.
- All characters are "designated the same on the map". They already are, essentially, by their name.
- When you click on their name, you see their description. Including what they are wearing.
- When you interact with a character (they speak, attack, barricade, etc.) you see their name as doing the deed.
Have you actually PLAYED the game? The only thing I can see as an "actual" suggestion here is that you want the clothing section of the profile above the personal description (in order to "see the clothing first"). When my zombie attacked someone, I got this message: You maul Jane for 3 damage, and grab hold of their blood-flecked pale blue short-sleeved shirt. They drop to 37 HP. So what exactly is it you want added to the game that isn't already there?--Pesatyel 04:54, 6 May 2010 (BST)
I cannot think of any feasible way of doing this without spamming the UD interface with text about what people are wearing, particularly in large areas like malls and TRPs. You also ignore the fact that it is extremely easy for a person to change clothing; just move to a new building, click "Settings", badda bing badda boom. This might be plausible in another game where it isn't so easy to change clothes, but I just don't see this working for UD. --Maverick Talk - OBR 404 23:02, 7 May 2010 (BST)
Very roleplay heavy. I don't like it. Stick to simple. BoboTalkClown 16:03, 8 May 2010 (BST)
Expert Skills v0.2
| Timestamp: Devorac 16:30, 3 May 2010 (BST) |
| Type: New Skills |
| Scope: Everyone banging their heads against the granite ceiling |
| Description:
Most everyone knows that the game burnout hits at level 41 (43 for zombies) when all skills have been earned, personally I think there should be more to work towards, (other than the tic-tac-toe of defending/destroying suburbs and buildings in the war against zombies/harmanz) a bit more to achieve. Unfortunately there are numerous problems with introducing any new skills into the game, the biggest goes something like this: "All the old players will suddenly get a buff out of nowhere.". That concern is quite legitimate, and previous means of circumventing it (reducing everyone who has 41-43 levels XP to zero, setting an XP ceiling) have been met with hostility and usually something involving EP size. This brings us to my proposal... Expert Skills, or proficiency, whatever you want to call it. What this means is that for most actions there is an additional skill that cannot be purchased with XP, it must be earned through repetition. These are skills for people who do what they do really well, you won't get these for blowing two lvl 1 zombies in half with a shotgun (120 XP) or healing 5 10HP lvl 1 survivors back to full health (100-200XP, 20-40 FAKs). For instance I think that to achieve an expert skill level with FAKs you should have to use about 2200 of them. Yes, twenty-two-hundred. Work out the AP math of that and it is two solid months of AP usage. Two solid months doing nothing but FAK people. Yeah that's a lot but I want these skills to be really cool things that you can be proud of, not just milestones. On the skill tree theses would show up as a third area after zombie skills labeled Expert Skills. The skills themselves are cool things that you will be happy to have, but the won't break the game. This is a current list of all the expert skills, I'll try to keep it as balanced between zombie and survivor skills as I can. Survivor (Many More Coming) Frugal Doctor (0/2200 First-Aid Kits Administered) Not yet Achieved
Zombie (Many More Coming) Masticate (0/2200 Survivors Bitten) Not yet Achieved*
Additionally I'm thinking of adding a single additional special expert skill for each class to make things a bit more unique.
Required Class: Medic Pre-requisite Expert Skill: Frugal Doctor
Required Class: Consumer Pre-requisite Expert Skill: Junkyard Jackal
Required class: Scout Pre-requisite Expert Skill: Tuck and Roll
I*This may seem over-powered and it may indeed replace maul for high level zombies, but I really think the Uber zombies should be, well Uber. I**Counts each time you re-grip, crushes don't count. Okay. thoughts? |
Discussion (Expert Skills V0.2)
Alright we are updated with 7 (seven) new skills awaiting your comments-Devorac 16:35, 3 May 2010 (BST) (Lelouch I kept your comment because it made me feel all fuzzy inside.. :P)

| This is the best idea you've ever had, ever. |
| Lelouch vi Britannia 03:00, 3 May 2010 (BST) |
I still like your idea, very well balanced and fun for newbies and experts alike. You do plan on special expert skill for all classes right?--V darkstar 17:13, 3 May 2010 (BST)
- Yes... It is difficult to think of skills that are balanced, fit the class, and have a fitting pre-req though... I'll probably release a few more tomorrow. -Devorac 17:53, 3 May 2010 (BST)
I still don't like the idea of expert skills at all, and I think that a good number of the ones you've given as examples are overpowered. --User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 19:59, 3 May 2010 (BST)
- Please by all means go into how and why they are unbalanced, I'll do whatever I can to address your concerns. While I probably won't be able to do anything about it I would also like to hear your thoughts on why you don't like Expert Skills in general. -Devorac 21:05, 3 May 2010 (BST)
Right, here we go: Scar Tissue - providing one side with an instant +10 health, especially combined with the fact that they stand up with full health, is slightly unfair. The 9000 points of damage equates to roughly 150 kills, something all three of my main characters can claim, as well as my minor characters being a good part of the way there. Major newb killer, as well as making it much harder to kill anyone.
Omni-sense - Theoretically not too bad, but the prerequisite has nothing to do with the skill.
Masticate, Lumberjack, Endurance Runner - Simply put, if you don't want to use an action point, then don't perform an action. Misses are there for a reason, and if we take them away, the game nears pointlessness. Before you attempt to reply that it'll only be on rare occassions, I direct you to the guideline: Rare does not equal balanced. This suggestion holds true to that.
Deadeye, Jack Of All Trades and to a lesser extent Ripping Hands - +1 damage to the most powerful weapon in the game is insanely unbalancing. +2 damage to all weapons, including the most powerful weapon in the game, is INSANELY unbalancing. Hopefully Aichon will provide us with some of his brilliant maths.
Pack Rat - 100% =/= 110%.
Frugal Doctor - As with Masticate, etc, if you don't want to use an item, don't use it.
Battlefield Surgeon - Seriously overpowered. The extra 5hp should be a benefit from staying around a certain type of building, it should most definitely not be a permanent feature.
Last but not least Toughness - If you need me to explain why halving all damage to a target is a bad idea, then I doubt explaining would help. :P
And on the subject of these skills in general they will ALWAYS benefit advanced players more than newbies. The gap will always be made larger, and it will become harder and harder for new players to play the game. --User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 21:25, 3 May 2010 (BST)
- To clarify, read the costly does not equal balanced section here to see what I'm getting at.--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 21:30, 3 May 2010 (BST)
- Okay,
Scar Tissue I'm open to changing this to the same as human toughness or halving the bonus.... in fact I think I will do that... It is a much more difficult one to balance out.
Omni-sense If you can think of better I'll gladly put it in... Otherwise consider it the zombie brain getting used balancing the senses.
Masticate, Lumberjack, Endurance Runner Lumber jack, 1.5 Extra attacks. Masticate, about 2 extra attacks. Endurance runner if you happen to spend all of your 50 AP outside (unlikely) you get 5 additional AP. Also Rare was meant for items (I.E the suggestion for a 0.001% chance to find a minigun in armories) not so much for percentages, if it was we would never have flare guns. On rare occasions the RNG opens up to me and I can get 40+ shots out without missing (42 is my record) does this mean I should have my pistols taken from me? No.
Deadeye, Jack Of All Trades and to a lesser extent Ripping Hands It was far FAR less overpowered than a 5% accuracy buff. Deadeye 1.625 bonus damage under ideal circumstances (50 AP, no reloads). Jack of all trades pistol, .7 average bonus. Shotgun (full load no reloads 32 shots) .416 bonus damage. Fire Axe, .4 Bonus damage. Err... Massive Overpower isn't quite what I think of when I look at this.
Pack Rat - 100% =/= 110%. Well that is brilliant math there, it doesn't exactly tell me why you object though.
Frugal Doctor ... Okay if that wasn't a joke I'm going to have to look at you like you're crazy. "If you don't want to die confronting zombies don't confront zombies" Why thank you captain obvious. This is a "Hey Cool!" buff. If you really believe that it is too over powered I am open to halving it again.
Battlefield Surgeon - Sorry not changing this one.
Toughness Please read the suggestion. It hurts my massive ego when people do this.
Gaps are what make it fun. If there was no gap between 1 and 41 few people would have any interest. Even if a character had all of these skills (I need to make a note that any zombie expert skills do not carry over as a survivor and vice versa) The difference between a 41 and a 41 with expert skills is not great. The fun of them comes from achieving them, these skills are designed to be things that happen on a "Well that was nice" basis.-Devorac 22:30, 3 May 2010 (BST)
- I do not consider you to have fully addressed my points, and still do not agree with this suggestion. However, since neither of us are going to agree, I guess that leaves it at that.--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 22:40, 3 May 2010 (BST)
- Well no I didn't largely because several were on the odd side (Pack rat, toughness) however I am glad that you have decided to leave it off here rather than fill the page with needless drama. If you would like to explain more clearly (And include your own math to back your arguments up) you are welcome on the talk page of my Mad Science lab. -Devorac 22:51, 3 May 2010 (BST)
- Jusy remember Devorac you can't please everyone I think the originals where good enough.--V darkstar 13:26, 4 May 2010 (BST)
I think that Pack Rat is kind of towards the OP side, because all survivors search frequently and we hit 118% encumbrance too often as a side as it is. Battlefield Surgery might need to be in a powered building? Just an idea, not a big thing. Lelouch vi Britannia is helping make Ridleybank green_ and gives Achievements 03:41, 5 May 2010 (BST)
- Alright I'll see if I can change pack rat a little to make it work... The Surgery is a fair change and it makes sense, done. -Devorac 06:08, 5 May 2010 (BST)
Awsome idea. And remember OMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM --Kralion 22:57, 6 May 2010 (BST

Windows shading
| Timestamp: Girobu 09:14, 29 April 2010 (BST) |
| Type: New mechanics |
| Scope: all |
| Description: When a building is powered, the light is observable from the street. It attractss zombies and PKers to lit buildings, and makes non-lit ones a little bit safer. But what if we'd have ability to shade the windows with newspapers? The idea is - if you have certain amount of newspapers (different for different building types), you can shade the windows for cost 1 AP per newspaper (NO partial shading!). When building is shaded, it looks like unpowered one from the street, even when powered. When zombie enters the building, he/she can destroy shading for one succesful attack (I assume, that newspapers are not very strong) - there is an option in attacked things list - "shading".
Variants:

Discussion (Windows shading)
The added danger is the balance for the huge search advantage a generator gives. No making them invisible. If you don't want to pay the price, smash the generator yourself -- boxy talk • teh rulz 09:18 29 April 2010 (BST)
- It makes non-lit building more dangerous, so the price is paid. Plus it paid by amount of AP required to shade building, and just 1-2 to fully deshade it. --Girobu 09:27, 29 April 2010 (BST)
- The danger is displaced or spread around from valuable locations to less valuable locations. Still an advantage. —Aichon— 09:32, 29 April 2010 (BST)
- I think, balance kept (there are advantages and disadvantages for both sides) - and the strategy becomes more interesting for both parties. --Girobu 11:29, 29 April 2010 (BST)
- Aichon and Boxy really nailed this one on the head. The light of the genny is the trade-off, AND you're trying to make a RP item (newspaper) useful at the same time. If you want your genny to stay hidden, put it in a ruined building. --Maverick Talk - OBR
404 10:14, 29 April 2010 (BST)
- Orly? 14:40, 29 April 2010 (BST)
- Plus this will really annoy those zombies in Perma Death Cities, searching through the ruins for that single lit building. Oh! and if the genny was destroyed whilst the windows were covered, would the building become Dark? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 10:19, 29 April 2010 (BST)
- Yes, it's good idea (making them dark). And if you want to find something, you must de-shade it. Price paid? :) --Girobu 10:50, 29 April 2010 (BST)
- Bad idea. We'd see a lot of newspaper-darkened non-TRPs just to have a safe sleep place, while zombies have no way to dismantle them by ripping away the paper or setting up a gennie. --Spiderzed 14:36, 29 April 2010 (BST)
- Now you can cade and power the whole suburb just to have a safe sleep place while zombies have no way... you know. Does it ruin the game? I want just to have another strategy. And - shading is expensive, de-shading is cheap - to keep the balance. --Girobu 15:39, 29 April 2010 (BST)

As others have already said, you can't have your cake and eat it too. If you can't live with being attacked in a lit resource building, destroy the genny, or even smarter yet, go to the TRP only to stock up and then sleep somewhere safer. But don't go and pester Kevan to change the game just because you can't be bothered to endure a trade-off that has been long established in UD, and that most survivor players have learned to deal with. --Spiderzed 14:36, 29 April 2010 (BST)
- No, it isn't. Addition of such possibility won't give you a free cookie, because everyone will know about it, so there is no way to be safe in TRP like in dark bank today. I'd say, there will be no safe dark banks with this suggestion implemented. --Girobu 15:34, 29 April 2010 (BST)
- I didn't see anything in your suggestion that would make dark banks more dangerous. But the criticism brought up by others here is warranted. This would really mess up the game for feral zombies and cause more of them to stop playing. When there aren't any feeding groans, attacking lit buildings is one of the best ways for ferals to try and find a snack. Zombies already have to guess at where there prey is, since they can't see inside the buildings. The newspaper trick would further conceal the presence of survivors all across Malton almost overnight, making the game more difficult and frustrating for all zombies.--GANG Giles Sednik CAPD 07:59, 30 April 2010 (BST)
- When zombie KNOWS that buildings, looking like unlit, may actualy be powered and shaded, s/he will attack unlit buildings more often, than now. So, no safe dark places. --Girobu 15:31, 4 May 2010 (BST)

| Type: New Item |
| Scope: Survivors |
| Description: Similar to beer or wine, except that this consumable item, found mainly in mall drug stores or police and fire stations will give an AP increase, while your health decrease slightly every time you take a pill. Each box of caffine pills can have 5 to 10 pills, and each pill, which takes no AP to digest, will increase one AP and decrease one health. Drug stores would have these for sale, while EMS personnel at fire stations and police officers on night shift would have them in their lockers. |

- My thoughts exactly. A pack of 5 or 10 of these, as you say, plus an infection, halves the amount of AP expended dying in a parachute. I like it but it's powerful. Gain 1 AP, lose 5 HP, doses found individually (flavour it as taking several pills at once, rather than finding individual pills), then they'd probably balance out more. I'd vote for them in a watered-down form, as I'd find great use for them. 23:44, 17 April 2010 (BST)
Could allow for massive AP usage in a single burst. Overpowered. - User:Whitehouse 23:41, 17 April 2010 (BST)
Upon use: Gain 5AP, doesn't take any to eat. The next five AP using actions: Nothing unusual. The next five AP using actions: Costs double the normal AP. It all stacks, so if you eat four pills, you get 20AP, make 20 Normal moves, and then have the hangover last for 20 moves. But of corse, it would never work, like anything that afects AP. --VVV RPMBG 00:23, 18 April 2010 (BST)
If this was implemented, I would stock up my inventory half full with these, and half full with bottles of wine. Then, for the next month, I'd play non-stop, Using the extra AP from this healing the 1HP cost.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 00:28, 18 April 2010 (BST)

No. This suggestion adds up to an increased ability to store AP for later use, but only for those who play at least part of their time as a survivor. More AP for survivors, less for dedicated zombies -- boxy talk • teh rulz 09:33 22 April 2010 (BST)
Ridiculously overpowered. Consume 5, use a FAK, and you still have 4 AP left to use. Also tilts things too much in favor of survivors. Q. JuliusTBH 21:29, 22 April 2010 (BST)
Ok well in my opinion its should be a max of say 2 pills for 36hours each one 10ap so you use them wisely anyway you would probarly get yourself a drug overdose eventully......... -- User:Boomer Australia 22:54 (GMT+10) 4th of may 2010
