Advanced memories of life

Timestamp: John clutch 00:59, 18 June 2011 (BST)

Type: Skills

Scope: Zombie

Description: Using the advanced memories of life skills zombies may use weopons such as rocks or debries. The zombies in the Urban Dead are not stupid. They have the abbility to open doors, find prey, and even speak. I think its only fair since a zombie could not kill a survivor one on one if the survivor had a weopon and the profficency to use it. Im for and against this idead though. For because zombies would be more of a challange. Against because a zombie with a weopon is bad enough, but a horde of zombies all weilding rocks is deadly for a lone survivor like myself.

what is this i dont even 01:29, 18 June 2011 (BST)

You don't even......... what? :/ John clutch 02:29, 18 June 2011 (BST)

how about running a spell check first?--User:Sexualharrison16:26, 18 June 2011 (bst)

I think they're not quite sure what you mean by this suggestion. Is it allowing zombies to use basic weapons? They can already use crowbars, I think. I'd love zombies to be able to use all basic blunt weapons, like golf clubs (hell, I'd start a group based around golfing zombies in cardigans and tweed) --Karloth Vois ^¯\(°_o)/¯ 16:29, 18 June 2011 (BST)

LOL, im such a noob...... but only some objects. John clutch 02:59, 19 June 2011 (BST)

Yeah, only some objects, and only at the base rate and damage, which means teeth or claws are always better (amusement aside). There's been PLENTY of suggestions otherwise, so...
Also, used to be you could hack a bit and use guns as a zombie, but alas, no longer.  Swiers 17:26, 19 June 2011 (BST)

Chance of falling while carrying large objects

Timestamp:        03:15, 9 June 2011 (BST)

Type: slight skill change

Scope: Survivors

Description: Here is the idea, when you attempt to free run with large objects in your inventory there is a chance of falling. I classified a large object as something with 20% encumbrance (i.e: Transmitters, gennies, and museum pieces.) I left things like pumpkins and Christmas trees out because they are seasonal fun items, not the everyday junk. If you fall you would receive the flavor text of You lose your footing when [insert object] shifts its weight causing you to fall to the ground. Same as free running into ruins you would receive 5 damage when you fall but it wouldn't be fatal. This isn't as nagging and annoying to players as say an overall chance to fall when you reach x% encumbrance but it gives entry points and maintaining good free-running lanes more value. The percent/formula is up for discussion but for sake of example I will use the forumla:"% chance of failure = 1- (1*(.70n))". This means 1 object gives 30% chance to fall, 2 is 51%, 3 is 66%, 4 is 76% and 5 is 83%. If you free run into a ruin the percentage to fail would just stack on top of it. For example if you have a 30% chance to fail because you are carrying 1 large object you have an 80% chance to fail free running into a ruined building.

Discussion (Chance of falling while carrying large objects)

	Let me vote for this shit now!
	Put it up for a vote already JESUS

--Karloth Vois ^¯\(°_o)/¯ 16:54, 14 June 2011 (BST)

I'm on Vacation! I'll put her up for voting when im back home in a week and can give the attention it deserves.       17:54, 16 June 2011 (BST)

Do want. 03:54, 9 June 2011 (BST)

Any idea of the percent of failure? I'm terrible with numbers but I'd say 30% chance to fall per heavy idea your carrying. So if you have two gennies you have a 60% chance to fall off the building.       14:31, 9 June 2011 (BST)

GTFO. 60% for two heaving objects? Might as well forbid free-running entirely then. -- Thadeous Oakley Talk 14:43, 9 June 2011 (BST)

IF you payed attention I said the percent and how it would apply was up for discussion I just threw 30% out as a possible number. Personally I'd say limit your inventory so you could only have 1 heavy object at a time and then you'd only have a 30% chance of failure but that's a whole new suggestion itself.        15:00, 9 June 2011 (BST)

It may be better to have a function rather than just a block percentage, so that it ends up with something like 1:30%, 2:45% 3:55%, or something like that.--Yonnua Koponen ^{T G P} ^^^ 15:20, 9 June 2011 (BST)

That sounds fair. So a formula something like "% of failure = 1- (1*(.70ⁿ))" where n=# of objects. Then 1 object is 30% 2:51% 3:66% slightly harsher than yours. Since the chances of you trucking around 2 heavy objects let alone 3 are pretty slim in my mind unless you either collect museum objects or run around powering every building you see.       15:34, 9 June 2011 (BST)

That looks pretty good. And I agree, this should mainly punish people who stock up on gennies for mass repairs and repowers, whilst having a much smaller effect on people just doing the occasional power or museum piece addition.--Yonnua Koponen ^{T G P} ^^^ 20:36, 9 June 2011 (BST)

I've whipped up a graph of the curve represented by your function here, in case you want to use it for anything.--Yonnua Koponen ^{T G P} ^^^ 20:50, 9 June 2011 (BST)

Ooh fancy. Although I just listed the percents out up to 5 objects since that's the most you could carry technically.       20:58, 9 June 2011 (BST)

No. Just another attempt to make free-running more "realistic" by adding an extra annoying and frustrating element to it. No fun, no pass. -- Thadeous Oakley Talk 14:43, 9 June 2011 (BST)

Nothing wrong with attempting to address the AP imbalance caused by free running and watering down survivor's movement advantage. After all you should have to choose between uber-effective, uber-fast, and ease of hiding. It's only reasonable. --Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 18:01, 9 June 2011 (BST)

There is a lot of ways to correct it. You could make it so free running requires 2 AP instead of 1 or Make free running only possible below a certain encumberance level or a combination of the two.. Those are options that come to mind as of now. I think mine is about the most reasonable free running change proposed, at least that I've seen.        18:43, 9 June 2011 (BST)

But then survivors would want to build bridges between buildings. --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 21:20, 9 June 2011 (BST)

Love this idea mazu. right thad cause survivors have it sooooo hard. pussy.--User:Sexualharrison15:10, 9 June 2011 (bst)

Would this stack with current percentages to fall if freerunning into a ruin? In other words would there be a 110% chance of falling if freerunning into a ruined building while carrying 3 heavy items (assuming 60% suggestion) ~ _{15:56, 9 June 2011 (UTC)}

Hmm.. I'm not sure. I think it'd just stack with the current percentages as that sounds like it'd be easier to code. I'll edit my suggestion accordingly.       16:26, 9 June 2011 (BST)

I'd say freerunning into a ruin with a heavy object should give a 100% chance of injury, yes. 20:27, 9 June 2011 (BST)

Well chances are you'd fall anyways with a minimum 80% chance to fall and Kevan likes to use his RNG. Granted I've never successfully freerun into a ruin as long as I can remember anyways.       20:58, 9 June 2011 (BST)

Yeah would make sense. ~ _{21:03, 9 June 2011 (UTC)}

Would falling force you onto the street like the ruin mechanic or would it just deal damage while still allowing freerunning? ~ _{21:03, 9 June 2011 (UTC)}

NVM just reread the suggestion. I see that it forces you to the ground. I guess the question is does it also cause damage when you fall? ~ _{21:07, 9 June 2011 (UTC)}

It would behave the same as ruins.       21:06, 9 June 2011 (BST)

Scent the Wounded

Timestamp: Fjorn 04:19, 4 June 2011 (BST)

Type: Skill, child of Scent Blood

Scope: Zombie

Description: Skill has 2 parts. First works like clicking 'Scent death' when you have the skill of the same name on the map screen, showing injured survivors instead of zombies. Second part negates any attack penalties against injured survivors, such as from darkness. --Fjorn 04:19, 4 June 2011 (BST)

Discussion (Scent the Wounded)

	Let me vote for this shit now!
	Put it up for a vote already JESUS

--Karloth Vois ^¯\(°_o)/¯ 16:54, 14 June 2011 (BST)

Maybe you guys can come up with a better name, I'm not good at naming things --Fjorn 04:20, 4 June 2011 (BST)

I proposed an idea similar back before the Dead's arrival. Mine was after the purchase of Scent Blood Zombies had full attack rates in dark buildings. People shot it down in discussion as "Overpowered" meh..       04:29, 4 June 2011 (BST)

Not really surprised at that, but didn't realize I was that close to being a dupe. At any rate, the logic is that, quite frankly, it is pretty... counter intuitive that the best place to hide from a zombie is cowering in some dark building somewhere. --Fjorn 04:35, 4 June 2011 (BST)

No worries I never put it up for vote.       13:23, 4 June 2011 (BST)

Whilst I like it, I think these effects should require a skill each. The survivor map could be "Scent Prey" or "Scent Meat"; the attack penalty negation could perhaps be under the Vigor tree as "Frenzy"? 05:13, 4 June 2011 (BST)

I actually like "Scent Prey" as the name, Dunno about splitting it though... --Fjorn 06:00, 4 June 2011 (BST)

I think a map showing wounded survivors would be pretty nifty but it kinda punishes the already weak in a sense. What you might do it change it so it scents just survivors sleeping in ruined or unbarricaded buildings. Although I'm not sure how useful that would be.. However, I like the second part it makes sense because a wounded survivor should be easier to kill than one that's pretty healthy and when your all bloodied up you would be smelling different causing a zombie to say go into a "Frenzy"?.       13:23, 4 June 2011 (BST)

Scent Prey is pointless. By the time you can blow spare XP on such nice-to-haves, you won't need street treats anymore, and should rather begin to hit the survivors where it hurts them (i.e., kill those who know what they do in their safehouse). -- Spiderzed█ 13:55, 5 June 2011 (BST)

Well, the idea was it detected injured survivors inside as well, and it's why it was a two part skill, and why I think it would be better as a two part. --Fjorn 21:56, 5 June 2011 (BST)

I'd actually pick it up very quickly as a new zombie. I'd rather have targets and middling accuracy than good accuracy and no one to hit whilst I'm training up. 22:10, 5 June 2011 (BST)

Put this up for a vote already, it's awesome. --Karloth Vois ^¯\(°_o)/¯ 09:18, 6 June 2011 (BST)

OTT in the current form but I like the general idea. Change it so that it is only street treats OR injured survivors in un-caded buildings and i like. As for the negate dark penalties bit... maybe if it was only against survivors injured enough to feeding drag?--Honestmistake 23:40, 8 June 2011 (BST)

Zombies shouldn't have any penalties from dark buildings because they use scent not sight. Hence the scent skill tree. They should be more feared in the dark than the light but this isn't the case sadly. Making it only effective on survivors at feeding drag health limits it's use to an extremely small range and makes it nearly useless. However, the part about it working through cades does need revised. Maybe only at vsb or below? After all if you can climb through the building without free running surely some wounded survivor stench would leak out as well and at vsb or below a lone feral has a chance of getting into the building on its own with some luck.       23:48, 8 June 2011 (BST)

Make sure the first part doesn't include the perma death cities, or those still alive would essentially be instant killed.--Yonnua Koponen ^{T G P} ^^^ 01:03, 9 June 2011 (BST)

You think the search rate thing applies in the perma death cites as well? because if it does they must be finding stuff left and right lol       13:27, 10 June 2011 (BST)

Hmm... how about this...

• On the street & opened buildings: IF you're injured, you'll show up
• Behind barricades loose enough to enter: If you're under 40 health, or 48 with bodybuilding, you'll show up
• Behind strong 'cades: If you are considered to be 'dying' by the game (12 hp or less) you'll show up

--Fjorn 10:29, 10 June 2011 (BST)

I think the best way to simplify and not mislead ferals into walls of cades they cant break into is to make it. Sent all wounded survivors (less than 25hp) that are in buildings vsb or less (includes ruins) and any survivors on the streets. (I choose wounded because the game already flags it so the skill would be simpler to implement)       13:07, 10 June 2011 (BST)

Necrotech Buildings are tall and important.

I look forward to your lovely comments and images. --Rosslessness 20:21, 2 June 2011 (BST)

To understand that clearly, it would work even if the NT isn't in an adjacent block? How would the gesture be displayed if the next NT is 2+ blocks away? -- Spiderzed█ 20:26, 2 June 2011 (BST)

Yes. Um, A Zombie Gestured at the top of the Necrotech Building visible 3 west, 2 north. --Rosslessness 20:33, 2 June 2011 (BST)

This is actually a somewhat decent idea (on this page? Shocking!). However, maybe instead of limiting it to the suburb have it work in a 10 block radius. --||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 20:57, 2 June 2011 (BST)

This page is for Ross and Swiers to pitch ideas, everybody else is filler material.--Yonnua Koponen ^{T G P} ^^^ 20:59, 2 June 2011 (BST)

Logically Laughing man's idea makes more sense. --Rosslessness 21:13, 2 June 2011 (BST)

How far can binoculars see tall objects on foot from? That's how far the range of this should be. 21:05, 2 June 2011 (BST)

7*7. But thats a stupid number. --Rosslessness 21:15, 2 June 2011 (BST)

Consistency > logic. 21:17, 2 June 2011 (BST)

"In the suburb" is also a "stupid number". It potentially means maybe you could gesture at one NT that's 9 blocks away (on the opposite edge of a burb you just entered) but could NOT gesture ate one that is 2 blocks away (just across the border in the burb you just left). Suburb borders have no relation to distance / visibility. Anyhow, just pulling all the NTs within x squares isn't computationally intensive; you make a sub-table of NT buildings, then pull all the ones where (|xhar-xbuild| < distance && [ychar-ybuild| < distance).  Swiers 21:47, 2 June 2011 (BST)

Bless you Swiers. 7*7 seems best. --Rosslessness 21:59, 2 June 2011 (BST)

Can survivors with the same skill spot an NT in a comparable manner without binoculars then? Like, you are standing at the X building, you can see a Necrotech building glowing in the distance (2 south, 3 west). -- Thadeous Oakley Talk 21:23, 2 June 2011 (BST)

No but they can speak and say "Lets go to the necrotech building 4 squares west" --Rosslessness 21:59, 2 June 2011 (BST)

Only bitch I have is that it potentially gives the ability to recognize NT buildings to even those without Necrotech Employment. I realize that's not all that game breaking though. Otherwise a good suggestion. ~ _{21:25, 2 June 2011 (UTC)}

Zombies who do not have Necrotech Employment should just see: A Zombie Gestured at a Building 3 west, 2 north. --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 22:43, 2 June 2011 (BST)

A Zombie gestured at a distant building. --Rosslessness 22:48, 2 June 2011 (BST)

Why would a zombie not be able to gesture at any distant building. How would the zombie know where a building is 7 blocks away? Or are you proposing that with NT skill, any human or zombie would be able to see an NT building from up to 7 blocks away? -- LABIA on the INTERNET ^{Dunell Hills Corpseman} #24 - |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ^TMG 22:55, 2 June 2011 (BST)

Well NT's are tall so in theory that would be why you couldn't gesture at just any building because the ones adjacent to you would block their view.. You say what about other tall buildings? Well I guess there wouldn't be a reason besides the fact it'd just clutter up the list. That's what i understood from it anyways. I'm not sure about the survivor side though.       23:11, 2 June 2011 (BST)

In theory you can't see further than you can see. Binoculars work based on the you being on top of a building theory of sense. --Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 10:05, 5 June 2011 (BST)

Sounds good. I'd add the A Zombie gestured at a distant building. to the description and explain the parameters so that people know what all it does. --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 20:46, 9 June 2011 (BST)

So is this basically for people who are too lazy to load the suburb map on the wiki and look it up themselves? --sannok^{(talk)(kilts)} 05:22, 4 June 2011 (BST)

I think its more geared to help either ferals organize on the fly or allow coordination without metagaming.       13:32, 4 June 2011 (BST)

Mazu wins an imaginary prize for being both concise and correct. --Rosslessness 17:07, 4 June 2011 (BST)

I suppose by my previous statement, I should think that any sort of in-game coordination is a useless flavor addition; there's a case for getting random ferals to do stuff, and not everyone is likely to either have the local area memorized or bring up a map. I retract my comment. --sannok^{(talk)(kilts)} 05:51, 5 June 2011 (BST)

Zombie recognition change and Advanced Death Rattle

Timestamp: Treviabot92/Virsteinn COVRZ SONGZ!!! lol 00:47, 2 June 2011 (BST)

Type: Change and skill

Scope: Zombies

Description: I'll start with the recognition change. Basically what will happen is zombies will be unable to recognize survivors, but they'll tell which zombie is which. For example, if Jack and Ass are dead now, they would see "A zombie", whereas with the change Jack would see "Ass" and vice versa. Next, Advanced Death Rattle. The idea here is to allow zombies to speak in English versus Zombish or Zamgrh. Perhaps a few letters might be missing still, but the idea here is to make it easier for humans to understand zombies.

As katthew's Zombie suggestions state zombies should have an advanced form of death rattle to where they understand the zombie death rattles as clear English whilst survivors get the garbled trash.

Shopping Cart

Timestamp: Private O'Hara 17:53, 29 May 2011 (BST)

Type: Unique bonus

Scope: survivors only

Description: Locations: Shopping Malls (1%) Shopping carts do not take up any encumbrance points, rather they allow a survivor to have 200% encumbrance (carry twice as much stuff) and can only be found in shopping malls in any store with a low 1% chance.

I think that if you incorporate Zombie Lord's suggestion, it would make it very different than Rucksack, A Little Red Wagon, and Duffel Bag. Losing the ability to perform Free Running AND an increase to AP movement in favor of having increased inventory slots could end up balancing it out. There would have to be some sort of additional information for the server side of things, however, such as specifically listing what items are carried in the cart, what happens when the cart is gotten rid of when you have too many items, and the ability to select an option to actually start Free Running again at the cost of the cart (such as the caution warning before jumping off of a tall building). --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 19:45, 29 May 2011 (BST)

This wouldn't be so bad... as long as it reduces survivor movement rate to 2AP per block, and negates their ability to free run so long as they have it. Oh, and you wouldn't be able to get past barricades either. Plus, when attacking, there would be a 5% chance of the shopping cart rolling away and taking half your inventory with it. Also, zombies with a shopping cart in their inventory should be able to use it as a battering ram weapon against barricades, for a 50% chance of success. --カシュー, ザ ゾンビ クィーン (ビープ ビープ) @ 03:33, 30 May 2011 (BST)

But they were suggesting that you can't get past barricades, or use free running anymore. The user would have to get the shopping cart out either during a siege (when zombie's have torn down all the barricades), or they would have to tear down the barricades themselves to get out, probably have to have a group effort to do it. Have whole 'hordes' of survivors with shopping carts tearing down barricades to sleep, and then rebuild them once they have gotten into the building.--Moodie  ^{Talk  Contributions} 20:32, 3 June 2011 (BST)

My assumption is that a survivor can leave with a shopping cart without any issue (provided that they are just moving outside). After all, it doesn't exactly matter if the survivor can get out of a building, does it? They want to get back in. I assume that the survivor would get a notification when they picked up the shopping cart as to the restriction on movement and loss of free running. More than likely the notification of not being able to enter a building over VSB would only occur when the person attempted to enter a EHB or HB building. --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 20:39, 9 June 2011 (BST)

Semi-auto shotguns

Timestamp: Treviabot92 01:49, 24 May 2011 (BST)

Type: Weapon

Scope: Survivors

Description: The idea here is purely extended capacity. It's a shotgun that cycles each shell through some mechanism, be it gas, recoil, spring, whatever you imagine. It'll behave just like the current shotgun except that it can load six shells instead of two. Now, obviously, because of the mechanics involved to allow for this action to work, I'd say that the new shotgun should be half again as heavy as the current shotgun, and in order to have six shells, two AP needs to be spent to load the first shell, as you need to open the bolt to do that (unless y'all think the bolt should lock open when the gun's empty). I'm thinking same accuracy, same damage, and about twice as hard to find; it uses the same ammunition and skills, after all, and it has a higher capacity, why shouldn't it be harder to find? What do y'all think?

Oh? Might I direct you toward Combat Suggestions? A suggestion concerning the fact survivors can carry too many shotguns? Combat shotgun (which was already peer-reviewed)? --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 21:25, 24 May 2011 (BST)

Ok, clearly you're thinking of a different semi-auto shotgun. That type is military in nature; this isn't. Again, semi-auto shotguns in real life are weapons often used in sport and self defense, and it's usually only the military-centered ones that can hold eight shells; civilian shotguns typically have a capacity of six. In any case, this still isn't a dupe, and considering that both forts are now overrun, this isn't overpowered either, since it can be found in police precincts and malls. Treviabot92 21:49, 24 May 2011 (BST)

...Combat shotgun was suggested specifically to allow for the use of holding more shells and reducing the amount of shotguns that a survivor carried, which in November of 2005 was an insane amount compared to now. It has not been implemented. I don't know why yours would be, as Kevan has known for over five years about the request from survivor players to reduce the total number of shotguns and increase the number of shells they can carry. It still hasn't been implemented in any shape or form. Your suggestion is almost exactly the same as Combat shotgun. --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 22:02, 24 May 2011 (BST)

Mine has a much higher possibility of being implemented because eight shells is usually military capacity, and military weapons are always shot down. Mine is scaled down from that at best, but it's not a dupe; I hadn't even seen that until recently. But then again, why are there even gun shops in Malton? Based on the language and the building names, as well as the suburb names, the city is likely either in Canada or Great Britain, where it's illegal to own a gun, much less set up a gun shop in a mall. Thus, the United Kingdom would likely fall quickest in the event of a zombie apocalypse, and there shouldn't be guns in Malton at all. Treviabot92 05:25, 25 May 2011 (BST)

Loud, unreliable and quickly-exhausted pieces of machinery which take much more training than John Q Fuckabout will ever have are clearly the only thing anyone will ever need to survive doomsday. 06:35, 25 May 2011 (BST)

...that makes absolutely no sense. Treviabot92 19:59, 25 May 2011 (BST)

I'm saying that you new worlders seem to have an over-inflated sense of the usefulness of guns in these situations. Look at the amount of training a combat soldier goes through before being armed, and compare it to the fact that in actual warfare, only one in a quarter million rounds fired actually kills anyone.¹ If anywhere would fall quickly in a situation like this, it's going to be some large American city where a false sense of safety and assurance coupled with population density leads to needless endangerment and death. Also good luck hiding from the horde when you're working away with a 120-160 decibel dinner bell. If you want to be anal about realism, equipping the masses with advanced firearms and expecting them to be useful isn't the way to go about it. 03:20, 26 May 2011 (BST)

A semi-auto shotgun is FAR from advanced. If we already have full-auto firearms now, then semi-auto is an antique. An advanced shotgun would be a full-auto version of the street sweeper, a Pancor Jackhammer, an AA-12, need I list more? A person can only fire as fast as the mechanism permits and as fast as they can pull the trigger (and cycle the bolt, if it's a manual action, or load the next round, if it's a one-shot gun). Treviabot92 05:11, 26 May 2011 (BST)

Because that was clearly the only thing you needed to rebut. 16:54, 26 May 2011 (BST)

It's still a dupe of a previous suggestion. --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 22:11, 26 May 2011 (BST)

Whether or not it is a "military" weapon is irrelevant for the purposes of this discussion: The reason such weapons are shot down is because they are almost inherently unbalanced (because they're better than the current implemented weapons). Also, whether or not you noticed the previous suggestions has no real bearing on the status of this suggestion as a dupe.

It should also be noted that the ownership of shotguns and rifles is legal in the UK; we're just much stricter on licensing (e.g. "Self-defence" is not a good enough reason). It's only handguns that are outright banned.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 01:00, 27 May 2011 (BST)

Shotguns are balanced by the fact that they hold only two shells and so you have to carry a ton of them if you want to actually kill anyone. In order for this to be balance you'd have to make it 3x the encumberance of a normal shotgun.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 08:20, 24 May 2011 (BST)

I've already made it twice as hard to find and half again as heavy, three times the encumbrance would mean that people could find it just as often as a normal shotgun. And besides that, no shotgun is going to be any heavier than another unless it's a punt gun or a tank cannon firing a canister shot. Treviabot92 20:16, 24 May 2011 (BST)

Even Survivors are never going to get behind something like this. Because most of them know that the "balance" of this "game" is already shifted far in their favor. Why take chances screwing with the status quo when you're already ahead? And don't talk to me about The Dead. It's an anomaly, aggravated by the fact that Survivors are lazy and complacent for the most part. They aren't even fighting, their fattening up their dirtnappers and waiting for the Dead to get bored and go away. The aftermath is going to be even more ridiculous. I don't even wanna think about all the syringes we're going to be buried in.--

Dude, you're completely dismissing the fact that 76% of the Malton population (unfortunately including myself) has gone zed, and more than half probably like it.

| T | BALLS! | 21:51 24 May 2011(UTC)

Yeah, I'm being obtuse, that's why Kevin hasn't implemented that bullshit. Military weapons belong to the military, thus the military would take military weapons to their military quarantine blockades to do their military business. Meanwhile, civilian weapons, unless the military needed more weapons themselves, would be left alone for the civilians to put to their own use. Thus, these shotguns would still be around, albeit rather rare by comparison to other available firearms. Treviabot92 22:00, 24 May 2011 (BST)

My argument about it is that Kevan has had over five years to do so, but hasn't. Don't you remember how many shotguns you could carry in 2005? The number of shotguns you can carry now is far lower than it was then, but we still don't have it implemented. That should explain something. --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 22:03, 24 May 2011 (BST)

Yes I understand. I just don't mind arguing with Trev. The fact is that UD is completely counter-intuitive. You don't need guns. You don't need any of those guns skills.It doesn't really matter does it? Not when the most powerful weapon you can carry is already the syringe. Which is where I was planning on directing the course of my argument with Trev but, eh, as you can see above he's just being a jackass now so, screw it.--

You don't get it.

Ur Hurr - Math Hard

Okay, so let's look at the "merit" of your suggestion. Your Semi-auto shotgun (which you say is "not" Combat Shotgun), weighs 1.5 times the current Shotgun, which means it weighs 9% of a person's inventory. That means that a player could carry a total of 12 of these (9% * 12 = 108%), for a theoretical total of 72 shots (6 * 12 = 72) Currently, a player could carry 17 Shotguns (6% * 17 = 102%), for a total of 34 shots (17 * 2 = 34). That is a massive increase in survivor damage output.

Why would anyone carry any other weapon than your Combat Shotgun Semi-auto shotgun? It has the same accuracy, same damage, slightly harder to find (approximately Mall Gun Stores (2%/2.5%), Armories (1%), Police Departments (0.5%), Pubs (0.5%) _{which is all depending on the variable drop rates}), same skills, same ammunition, but you have to spend a +1 AP "penalty" when you load your first shell. You think that's balanced? Hardly. People would go around and just pick up the Combat Shotgun Semi-auto shotgun and drop anything else. A potential of 720 damage (all hits, no loss from vests or rot) almost catches up to the 750 points of maximum damage that a survivor fully-loaded with pistols would do, but for far less AP.

Pistols have six shots, you can carry 25 of them, and they do 5 points of damage apiece - 4% * 25 = 100%

• 25 pistols * 6 shots per = 150 total shots
• 150 total shots * 5 damage = 750 maximum damage

AP to shoot:

• Pistols - 150 shots = 150 AP to shoot
• Combat Shotgun Semi-auto shotgun - 72 shots = 72 AP to shoot.

Who cares if it takes a maximum of 7 AP to load it up (2 for the first shell, plus 1 AP per additional up to five), as you would spend a maximum of 143AP to load and fire all 11 shotguns (you lose one shotgun to be able to load them all) vs the maximum of 174 AP to load and file all 24 pistols (you lose one pistol to be able to load them all):

• 66 AP + 11 AP for first shells = 77AP
• 77 loading AP + 66 shooting AP = 143AP total
• 24 AP to load pistol clips + 150 AP shooting = 174 AP total.

First off, taking a look at this bullshit you keep spouting off on, the guy said same stats as the normal except for capacity and location. That means he'd be able to carry, what was it, seventeen you said? Ok, so seventeen Bullshit Shotguns times eight shots apiece is 136 shots total, for a potential damage of 1360 just emptying them. Factoring in full accuracy, that's an average of 884 for a 65% hit rate.

Now, mine. Same stats aside from weight, capacity, and find rate. Now you said max capacity is 12. That's 72 shells, 720 potential damage. A lot less, ain't it? Now, accuracy accounts for a total of 252 damage lost, meaning that accuracy allows for a total of 468 damage.

Now for what we got. Seventeen shotguns, two shells apiece for a total of 34 shells. Emptying them gives a potential total of 340, but factoring in accuracy gives 221.

And finally, the pistol. You say 25 cap, ok, so that's 150 bullets. 750 potential damage, 487.5 actual damage factoring in accuracy.

Now for actual-damage differences. My gun differs from the shotgun by 247 ADP, while the Bullshit Shotgun differs by 663 ADP. You're calling mine unbalanced? Do your damn math next time.Treviabot92 23:27, 29 May 2011 (BST)

EDIT: This is to factor in damage per 50 AP, counting in reloads for individual guns and gun pairs. The normal shotgun currently has a 162.5 ADP rate, while the pistol has a 139.75 ADP rate. For a pair, the normal shotgun has an 169 ADP rate, while the pistol has a 143 ADP rate.

Now for these other guns. Mine has an ADP rate of 123.5, while in a pair it has a rate of 182. The Bullshit Shotgun has an individual rate of 162.5 and a paired rate of 169. Sure, mine's better when paired, but not by much; it can't be fully loaded every volley for 50 AP, not to mention that the individual and paired ADP rates have a larger difference.Treviabot92 00:09, 30 May 2011 (BST)

And you reason like a preschooler, what's your point?Treviabot92 22:10, 1 June 2011 (BST)

Hello, missing the point. The community in 2005 approved Combat Shotgun. Kevan did not. I pointed out that your version made things pointless, but you decided to compare it against something that Kevan declined to add to the game, explaining that yours "is not unbalanced", and how eight shots is "bullshit" while six is "fair and balanced". You even admit that yours is better than the suggestion that Kevan ignored:

Treviabot92 said:

Sure, mine's better when paired, but not by much

So, why do you think that Kevan is going to go for your suggestion? I'll give you a hint as to why Kevan won't accept this suggestion: Kevan is looking for new content and not rehashing of old content. Of course, this won't pass via voting, so it's moot. --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 23:49, 31 May 2011 (BST)

Dude, the faggot gun was already a dupe on the face of it. This isn't. This is not based on that shit, and the least I'd expect out of you is the comprehension of that fact. Also, I said it's better paired, not it's better all the fucking time, not to mention that the difference of the worse value is greater than the difference of the better value. There's a reason I'm not taking speed loading into account.Treviabot92 22:00, 1 June 2011 (BST)

Ah, I see. I need to explain things out for you.

• Dupe is UDWiki slang for duplicate. The Combat Shotgun is not a duplicate suggestion, as it was the original suggestion for adding additional shotguns that carries additional ammo to the game. When I state that your suggestion is a duplicate of Combat Shotgun, I mean that users at the time requested an additional shotgun type that carries additional ammo to be added to the game. Kevan, already having shotguns in the game, declined the suggestion, despite the fact that the community approved it. Your proposed suggestion is the exact same type of request, as you are proposing to add an additional shotgun to the game that carries additional ammo. Unlike in 2005, the current community disagrees with this idea, and looks like it will shoot it down before it ever gets to Kevan. This is mainly because they know that if Kevan wanted to add other guns to the game, he would have done so sometime in the past five years. On to your next point.
• You compared your proposed shotgun to Combat Shotgun, which is not an implemented feature of the game. Comparing the two is a moot point, as Combat Shotgun was never implemented in the game, as I have stated several times before. The real comparison should be with the normal shotgun, which I had done above. Next.
• Speed loading was a proposed suggestion on November 6th, 2005 that was removed from voting on November 22nd, 2005, due to requests to change the suggestion. Speed Loading is also not an implemented feature of the game. Therefore, it is good that you are not taking Speed Loading into account, as it would also be a moot point. As this is the second thing that you have factored into your thinking that is not actually implemented in the game, I should caution you to take the time to completely read the links I send as well as the Gameplay page & subpages. It would appear that you need to get some of the basics of the game down, and then read the various subpages of the Suggestions portal, so you can know what was suggested before, and the differences between various suggestions.

If you are upset with my statements, then the fault is on you, as you might recall your previous statement which caused me to stop assisting you with this suggestion and just explain why it is a duplicate suggestion. --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 22:22, 2 June 2011 (BST)

DUH, FUKIN GEE, I DIDN NO DAT. Really? You honestly think I don't know what "dupe" means? Clearly, I've lurked in this part of the wiki a lot longer than you have, because I've seen plenty of bullshit like what EVERYBODY keeps pointing out. And besides that, when everybody and their brother points that out every single fucking time, wouldn't you get tired of it too? That's the only thing people think about, is bullshit that they have no idea what they're talking about.Treviabot92 20:06, 14 June 2011 (BST)

Yo dudes his shotgun is totally different from the combat shotgun because it's only 6 shells instead of 8. That makes it a CIVILIAN SHOTGUN and not a COMBAT SHOTGUN because everyone knows soldiers need the extra two shells to kill brown people with.
