    Not being good at fighting won't stop them at all. They'll just get back up and chase you until they get exp to open doors. Only zombie hunters can stop them, but eventually, there will still be too many zombies with the ability to open doors.

    Yes, humans are fighting a losing battle. Eventually zombies will just outnumber everyone.

    Actually that's a fun prospect. Kinda like Tetris. You <i>know</i> you'll eventually lose, the point is just to see how far you can get. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    My Shopper <b>Bruce Willis</b> is currently in a mall looking for ammo and weapons. Together with a whole buncha other consumers (like, 30) I'm turning it into a fort. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    They don't need to find us... just two high level zombies go camp out in the hospital or PD. ... kill everyone that comes in. Hospital is better, since they will go there only to get first aid kits (meaningly, they're hurt).

    And if they kill you? Well, currently the worst thing is that you lose your xp. And get dragged out. You'll spend 2 AP to stand up and go back in, and you're back in business.

    Exactly my point. I'm hoping that eventually the devs of UD are going to put in something to prevent this inevitability. Maybe a new human skill to fully board up doors? A new necrotech item that takes away a one of a zombie's skills at random? A change to gameplay where if zombies die they lose a skill?

    hehehehe


    I just came up with a fun tactic

    my consumer seems to have just as much luck finding shotguns as he does have finding shotgun shells.

    Now I will hold on to all of my weapons, load them ALL up, step out in a blaze of glory.


    then run back in after I get one hit <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    hey guys when you buy a skill does it remove all you xp?

    I mean I could buy a skill soon with my private but would that mean I would have to get all that xp back to level?

    that's the way rpgs work yes. You use those points to purchase an upgrade, but anything over the amount needed to purchase said upgrade remains.

    This is what I'm hoping for - the ability to barricade/board up the doors and windows to stop zombies getting in, but if you do, it means no-one at all can enter or leave until the barricades are removed.

    That's kinda what I was thinking off, but maybe the zombies could attack the barricades in order to get rid of them too? Make each barricade you put up have a certain amount of HP. And maybe make it so humans have to search for the raw meterials to build one?

    uh... but then people would just camp till their ap is full snidely and the game would turn into a big snoozefest :/

    The problem is that though we can turn zombies into humans there's not much you can do to stop them commiting hari-kari to become a zombie again :s

    If the materials are limited, safehousing inside a barricaded building wouldn't be so bad. You're right in that they shouldn't be absolute guarrentees, though, and should come at some sort of cost; they should take AP to tear down from either side. (3AP per barricade?)

    -Set Hillman said "I think we should move south. I've heard that these parts of the city have been absolutely overrun by the living dead. Anyone with me?"

    -Sam smith said "see you people later I'm going south"

    -Joe Pilato said "If we stick together, we can survive here."

    -Joe Pilato said "This is a great suberb. 5 police stations, 2 Firehouses, and a Mall."

    -Frost said "RUN NOW DAMN IT!!! GO SOUTH NOW!!! IF YOU CAN, WE MEET AT THE NEAREST MALL IN THE SOUTHEST PART OF TOWN!!! RUN!!!! RUUUNN!!!"

    -Snowball said "Whoa whoa whoa, why run there mate? Are zombies coming?"

    -The anouncer said "everyone in spicer row PD ran away!!! you better do the same!!! the 500 zombies horde is in dulston already!!! run!!! run to the south or any other direction but don't go to the west or north!!!"

    well, neo is going to revive my necrotech guy, he's got enough for 1 level up and not far off for another level, I didn't want to waste the xp on zombie traits since I really wanted him back to normal, but I didn't want to waste the opportunity to get a little exp either.

    My first upgrade will be improved med kit usage, followed by the necrotech lab equipment.

    neo, I'm 2 blocks south of where you said you were. I might be able to get a little north.

    The shotgun outdamage the pistol of 10 damage each 14 "rounds" if i'm correct. 70 damage done instead of 60, assuming all shot hits.

    Problem with the shotgun is to find ammo, cause you loot 1 shell at a time, instead of a 6 bullets-clip. That cost many more AP's. When you loot a shell its potential damage output is 10, when you loot a clip it's 30. BUT the search is random anyway, and you will end with both ammo types. SO the best solution is: use both.

    As many of each type of weapon as you can, actually;

    I have 3 pistols and a shotgun, and have both skills to 55%. So when all my guns are loaded (so i don't have to reload in combat) i can approximately deal 55 damage in 19 AP's.

    3 pistols: 18 shots * 5 damage = 90 damage. 55% of 90 ~= 49.5 damage approx.
    and add the shotgun: 1 shot * 10 damage = 10. 55% of 10 ~= 5.5 damage approx.

    I just wish i had more shotguns <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Damnit, I had to run my military char (Tox) far north from Roftwood. I'm down to 18 hp. If anyone's nearby with the med skill (or possibly revive, if I don't last that long), I'd greatly appreciate the help.

    EDIT: For those of you in southern Rhodenbank/Pashenton, beware - there's a zombie with memories of life around there.

    If you're going north from Roftwood, you're heading in the direction away from me. :|

    If you can get down to East Grayside or Wray Heights, I may be able to help; I have a couple of med kits, but that character is no medic.

    What? Is this true? I'm in Lamport hills D:. Is anyone still in Rhodenbank?

    I don't like the fact that talking costs AP. If you think of AP as time, I can understand, but can't my dude search and talk at the same time or something? I guess it's to save the guy's bandwith or some such.
