Wander (Zombie Auto-horde)
| Timestamp: Kamikazie-Bunny 01:43, 9 December 2013 (UTC) |
| Type: New Movement Method |
| Scope: Zombies |
| Description: All zombies now have the ability to Roam randomly around Malton when outside. Roaming moves the zombie one square in a random direction and costs the usual movement AP. Sounds pointless? Well, while the direction is random there is a 65% chance that the zombie will move in the direction of the location currently contain the most zombies in Malton (most = active zombies, indoors + outdoors). If by some chance they're there already they'll just move in a random direction.
Though it may be AP inefficient it does offer a somewhat reliable method for zombies (especially those with no idea where they're going) to hoard-up without the need to meta. |
Discussion (Wander (Zombie Auto-horde))
Uncontrolled movement is a no-no, as it may force players into triggering zerg flags without being aware of it (especially if they are away for an extended period such as work or sleep). There is also already a mechanic that helps to find the current zombie hot-spots - Scent Death. I'd rather want to see something that provides better information for the player to act on (such as Scent Death with extended range), rather than something that triggers automatic action. -- Spiderzed█ 06:25, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
- If I'm understanding this correctly, your first concern doesn't apply because the Roam action would simply use one AP and move the zombie one square. (It could be clicked, therefore, 50 times, moving 50 squares.) If a player were moving towards another alt they could always move away, and no action would be taken while a player wasn't online. That said, I do prefer an improved scent death over this suggestion. Bob Moncrief EBD•W! 00:00, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
