Changes

• Both normal and ultra giveaways have been buffed. Ultras now give 20-30 crates to the winner, and will happen once per map.
• Last man standing round time has been reduced, and time survived barely affects your score.
• Dragon rounds now have a 20% chance to happen on applicable maps, and their loot has been buffed, with a possible fix to the 1st place loot bug where they don't drop loot.
• Post round giveaways now reduce rarity for items 2x as quickly per map change (5% vs 2.5%).
  

So it should be stated that I don't have a top of the lin rig that most people have, but my pc used to get around 5 fps, but after the content update, it dropped to about 5 fps, even with all coinshop items turned off

Update: the problem was apparently the classic hud, be sure to turn it off if you're also experiencing this

1) Some of the items are not equal. Grenades are 35 supply and can AOE a group of zombies. Proximity Mines are 45 supply and do about 1/2 the damage to a normal zombie. You're trading all of the damage and most of the AOE for something you can place down and...doesn't really help. Fixed

2) Crystals should act as temporary arsenal crates, only for a short time each round. (When the waves end). It really sucks when the only crate is lost and you're 100% going to have a game over due to it. (This is probably controversial tho)

3) There needs to be a way to generate some props, even shitty ones. At the start you CAN buy a junk pack, which gives you 5 small props, but after the initial game start purchases I can't find this ANYWHERE in the shop.

4) Aegis Barricade Kit is useful, but insanely weak. ~80 supply for 5 boards, each of which can break in under 10 hits and can't be repaired? 80 supply is a Tier 3 gun, or loads of ammo. I think implemented?

5) Some guns just don't seem to do headshot damage. Hard to explain and maybe I'm wrong, and maybe the damage numbers that pop up are lying to me, but some definitely feel weak in comparison. FIXED, PRAISE BRASSX.

6) Proximity Mines seem to have an insanely high AOE to self-damage, it makes them very risky. Maybe the damage could be more concentrated?

7) SLIGHTLY less Tickler range. Maybe 15%-20%.

I was thinking about how much you can get away with as a Traitor, and because of that a lot of T weapons are simply not utilized (Flaregun, decoy, etc).


I think we need a massive refactoring of some of our core rules (Kos off locations, sound, and other info).

Some rules I was thinking of refactoring/expanding upon is the Traitor baiting rule, and changing it into a "Committing Traitorous act = kosable" rule, as follows:

• Committing traitorous acts makes you kosable (Obvious right?)
  Traitorous acts could include(but not limited to):
  • Walking through/BLATANTLY avoiding bear traps.
  • Blatantly fleeing the scene of an UNID'd body, or ignoring unid'd bodies. For instance, if someone is fleeing a room and you see a body in there, but saw no call outs between the two, you should be safe to kill said person. It's on them for not calling out the other person if they happened to be Innocent. If they did call it out and you missed it and kill them, you could take a slay. (Decided at staff discretion if reported)
  • Shooting at or near someone. This does Not include OBVIOUSLY shooting at a wall or consensual testing of weapons by shooting in legs.
  • Exploding explosive barrels near someone.
  • Planting C4 or remote bombs.
  • Having T weapons without calling our you have one from a dead traitor. Even using one from a dead traitor is a risk you have to take as an innocent.
  • Damaging or killing others, UNLESS for self-defense. However, it's a little hard to prove if self defense. Any thoughts?
    

• Reasonable* logic should be allowed, that is, figuring out who a T is without directly seeing the actions they comitted. To be decided on a per-case basis. This includes but is not limited to:
  • Using information on bodies or other situations(to be expanded on later) to form a conclusion beyond a reasonable doubt, that a person is a T.
    
    This is hard to pinpoint as it can be very situational and vary VASTLY depending on the situation and context, but for example, if you ID a body and it shows they died only a few seconds ago, but you saw someone fleeing the scene with the same weapon(with no other ways to escape), just before you found/saw the body. You should be able to piece together and rightfully KOS the person fleeing the scene. But be prepared to take punishment if wrong.
    
    Or if it says who they are last with, with 0 call outs of any kind, and you saw the same person fleeing the scene. That should be allowed, do any of you agree?
  • Hearing a battle right around a corner or inside a room next to you, upon entering the room and seeing dead bodies with no call outs, you should be able to assume the person left standing is a T, and have no need to give any warning before killing them. Simply because there were no call outs, that's their fault if they were innocent, and could fall under "confusion caused by T" in the end. (Kill from the grave!)
    
    If you are reported for killing someone and you were correct, you must state very clearly in the report response - your entire logical process. Any holes in your story could/would most likely lead to you being slain. But if its a plausible explanation and the logs add up reasonably to what you've said, the report should most likely be settled with no slay.
  • More to be added as we discuss.
    

I was thinking we could implement our inventories into ZS by sorting the rarity the weapon by tier. so...

Tier 2 would be Legendaries
Tier 3 would be Prims
Tier 4 would be Godlikes
Tier 5 would be Celestials

Tier 1 you would have to settle with the weapons that are in the game already.

Thanks.

Oh and also I was wondering how suffixes would work...?

Many of the zombies are already quite fast or have the ability to slow you down. It's already hard enough to get away from them if you're caught by them, getting hit slows you down to a point where it's nearly impossible to get away. Removing the movement penalty from getting hurt, or perhaps limiting it to below ~30% hp makes it a lot easier for survivors to get away while not making it too much harder for zombies.

At least for wave 1. Default zombie is pretty much a tank and eats a lot of ammo. Make him weaker for at least wave 1.

Or maybe the more you die in a short time span the more respawn time you gain, up to a mex of 5 seconds. Maybe only for lower amount of people?

Zombies can do some nutty stuff, especially if people use nests. We just had a game where two zombies took down 9 people on wave 1 after they had a good enough barricade and should have survived longer.

Also don't let boss spawn on wave 1.**
