Feeling People Up

Timestamp: --VVV RPMBG 02:21, 18 July 2010 (BST)
Type: Balance
Scope: Dark Buildings
Description: Currently, dark buildings halve everything to do with attacking but one: Tangling Grasp. It still gives the 10% boost it normally would, giving claws a power of 1.05 Damage Per AP (DPAP) and teeth a power of 1 DPAP. Logically, when blinded, it would be vastly easier to hurt something if you could feel it's location. In fact, it would be almost as easy as if you could see them. Thus, I propose that Tangling Grasp be made to be twice as effective in the dark. In no case could this make it a zombie more powerful in the dark than light. What is would do is (when you're holding someone) raise the power of claws to 1.35 DPAP and teeth to 1.4 DPAP. This means that a fully leveled zombie in a dark building would want to claw for grasp, bite for power, drag for boost. It makes it a little more interesting, realistic, and makes dark buildings more of neutral ground; Survivors currently have the advantage of controlling the lights.

Check for dupe, run the numbers, consider the implications, and point out the glaringly obvious flaw that I've overlooked. Go!

Discussion (Feeling People Up)

No dupes, but I feel it's kinda unfair that only one zombie skill maintains superiority in the dark, giving zombies, if not small, slight advantage. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 02:25, 18 July 2010 (BST)

Are you suggesting that this idea is too small a change, or possibly even too simple? --VVV RPMBG 04:24, 18 July 2010 (BST)
No, I just think survivors should have something similar. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 05:21, 18 July 2010 (BST)

I like this. Currently zombies have to work counter-intuitively in dark buildings, GKing last instead of first as should be done. This would help address this. The sun shone, having no alternative, on the nothing new 04:03, 18 July 2010 (BST)

Pre-Death Rattle 'Barhah!'

Timestamp: BOSCH 22:11, 16 July 2010 (BST)
Type: Zombie speech flavour addition
Scope: Zombies without the 'Death Rattle' skill only
Description: Very simple, all I wish to suggest is that the phrase 'Barhah!' be added to the speech options for zombies without the 'Death Rattle' skill. Why? This word is the universally recognized phrase of zombie reverence and unity, and babah zambahz should be able to shout 'Barhah!' into the cold, dead night, just like their more linguistically accomplished brethren.

Discussion (Pre-Death Rattle 'Barhah!')

You know, until you said this, I didn't realise that barhah wasn't on the default speech list - I'd always assumed that that was the origin of the word, much like mrh. I'd definately be for this. The sun shone, having no alternative, on the nothing new 22:15, 16 July 2010 (BST)

Not really feeling this idea, I always thought that you bought Death Rattle just to say BARHAH! and it is BARHAH! not barhah! a lower case barhah! does not mean the same thing. BARHAH! is like a right of passage. I think that those of use who wish to say it should say it right, or not say it at all. I don't want to see the next generation of zombies saying "barhah!" because thats how it is spelled in the game, no it is spelled BARHAH! and that is what should be taught. 22:32, 16 July 2010 (BST)

I know what you mean, I shout "BARHAH!" with RRF every night, full caps and an exclamation mark to truly emphasize the power of the word. And it feels good, it feels right. I did, however, make a conscious decision to suggest as 'Barhah!' as to stay stylistically true to the six existing expressions. Thanks for the comment, if anyone else has this reservation, please let me know. --BOSCH 22:55, 16 July 2010 (BST)

I'd vote keep. BARHAH! -- Adward  22:40, 16 July 2010 (BST)

I like this, babahz have as much right to yell "BARHAH!" as any other zambah.--KyleStyle 22:48, 16 July 2010 (BST)

I'm still going to edit conflict you all the time. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *cough*-- Adward  22:52, 16 July 2010 (BST)
