Urban Dead - The Official Cheap Ass Survivor Thread

1 Inside Whitmarsh with a pkr, Thurgzine (I think)
Maybe the z will take him out, or maybe they're working together?

Only 1 outside BB, 2 a couple spaces north.
Not as many as I'd have thought.
 
Checked in at the B.B. and the 'cades are at EHB, good job cside.
My trusty binnoculars showed only 1 zed outside (2 blocks North) and the Whitmarsh in ruins.
I'll make an effort to check back in this afternoon to see what's up.
We may need to re'cade or move sooner rather then later.
 
Maybe this is a stupid question, but what is the object of the game? Are the survivors trying to kill every zombie and vice versa? Can there be an end? Has the game reset before?
 
[quote name='darthbudge']Ok I killed the zed at the whitmarsh and chopped the PKer up, he has about 25HP left. Name THGiRNE.[/QUOTE]

lemme see what i can do

edit: nope, not close enough, not enough AP, sorry.

Basically survive. As a survivor you can defend buildings, kill zombies, be a PKer, heal people, etc. As a zombie, you basically do the opposite of survivors and break down buildings, kill humans, etc. Teamwork seems to be very important in this game, so with AP conservation. I don't believe this game has reset before. Starting out as a low level is slow no matter what. If you want to wipe a character, I don't think there's an option to do so atm (I don't think there ever will be). Just make a new character and let the other account hibernate (after 5 days). If either of the accounts are within a certain distance (usually same suburb), both will get screwed over, as designated by the system to stop account abuse.

It's pretty much what you think it is. With the addition of skills and interaction with buildings.

Thanks man.

Also, I didn't know that while free running you can fall out of buildings and hurt yourself.
 
You couldn't until recently, i think it's some winter specific thing he put in, the buildings are icey and you fall sometimes.
 
I would have let everyone know i was just killing him for being a PKer, but there was no transmitter and nobody else was even in the building.
 
Lovelock Police Dept and surrounding areas have heavy zeds infestations.

Level 4 necrotech has some bites marks matching my teeth. Too bad he ran away.

Marven Mall didn't have zombies outside on the western squares. I didn't check the inside.
 
[quote name='darthbudge']Thanks man.

It has to be a fair game. :roll:

Next week, zeds will be given a cumulative +5 to damage whenever the last attack was a miss.

That sucks, I was hoping for the "Zombie Cannon" a gun that only zombies can use and has 80% hit rate and 5 damage per shot. Oh yeah and it can't run out of ammo.
 
[quote name='Genocidal']Only when free-running to ruined buildings, which used to just land you outside, but now lands you outside with a chance of 5hp damage. fucking annoying.[/quote]

Yep, I just avoid free running to any ruined buildings now. I just force myself to street level or leave the building normally. You can just walk into the ruined building and free run from there anyway.
 
I've got a few syringes, but don't ask me for a res yet. I'm not leaving the building til I have 10-20 of them stockpiled for future use.
 
  • 27.20 MHz: "Alright everyone... This is your friendly neighborhood Pker" (exactly 2 hours ago)
  • 27.20 MHz: "Tompson mall is soon to be under siege by zeds... Or so Ive" (1 hour and 59 minutes ago)
  • 27.20 MHz: "Heard. It would be good to have some reinforcements up here" (1 hour and 59 minutes ago)
  • 27.20 MHz: "The coordinates are... 20,81" (1 hour and 59 minutes ago)
  • 27.20 MHz: "Get your lazy arses up here." (1 hour and 58 minutes ago)
Who would've thought, a helpful PKer.
 
Heh. Logged on to my zombie account this morning and found another group had come and broken into the NT I destroyed the generator on last night. Stood up and went in. Checked the profiles of the remaining humans for good targets and ran into the perfect one: a furry. Of the wolf "fursonality". I did my best to avoid looking at his character description, but there was no avoiding it. Motherfucker was playing as a wolf.

Also, zombie cannon: A large, building-mounted weapon that survivors load dead bodies into and fire off. Has a range of 3 buildings, and if the 50% chance of hitting succeeds, it knocks down 3 random zombies standing there.
 
Well, I sent the directions to The Crotch, unfortunately, I can only send one out at a time... Can someone else volunteer to send out pms?

Ok, all PM's sent now.

EDIT:

Holy Shit, I just installed UDtool and Rogue's Gallery and it says that I have been holed up with 2 PKers all day. However when I search on RG, I don't find there names, what should I do?
 
Something on my mind as of late. Since pistols are the most AP effective weps (no arguing there), wouldn't a knife be a better melee weapon choice instead of the axe? Mainly for finishing off that is.

Say a zed/PKer is at 50 hp with Flak Jacket. The lowest you can get his/her health down to is 2hp without killing them just by using the pistol intially. The axe does 3 damage and the knife does 2 damage, with mastered accuracies at 40% and 50% respectively. Since overkill is considered to not be so ap effective, wouldn't it be better off with the knife with it's higher accuracy. This wouldn't apply to a 60 hp with or without Flak jacket I would think. And if you need some kind of barricade destroyer (you'd most likely be a PKer), a crowbar would suffice since it's accuracy isn't halved. All this doesn't take into account search percentages.

edit: Thanks darth. Did you make sure you searched names, not UD ID?
 
Ah yeah that was my problem. Is anyone near the Whitmarsh arms still? I am in the warehouse next to it. Let's take these Mofo's out. One is a KOS and the other has a bounty of 1.

The knife is the most effective generator killer. Axes do the most damage per AP. While carrying a knife for finishing blows would be more AP efficient on that specific blow, not using an axe to weaken is less efficient, and carrying two weapons reduces capacity for other things.
 
On my way Maklershed, with FAKs to spare.

Budge: Thanks for the pm.

Option: Don't feel too bad, I can only send 1 pm at a time too. Check my join date for real newbie staus!
 
Maklershed: Used 7 FAKs on 'ya to bring you up to 50 hp.
It's cool, I needed the xp and I still have 5 left.

Budge's map is on the money accurate for anyone making the journey BTW.
EDIT: I'm at 96 xp and should be able to get the first NT skill soon, always help to have another reviver!

Hmm, roughly the damage per ap for a pistol is 1.33 (includes time searching in a mall with bargain hunting/does not include finding loaded pistols, movement ap, searching elsewhere, etc.). The damage per ap for an axe is 1.2. Why would you want to use an axe when you have a pistol which is much more efficient at whittling down health. Despite overkill granting that extra exp, that extra bullet could have been more useful for defending yourself later on, in case someone wanted to do a follow up gank/rape after your kill. Though this situation would most likely be extremely rare.

Though I have to agree and say axe is much more ap efficient if you dont have bargain hunting and a mall nearby. And a loaded shotgun found or a flare would be a better alternative for the finishing blow.

Not having fuel in the generator (if it still exists) or not being by a mall or not wanting to spend AP going from place to place or wanting to conserve bullets for the night or not having both shopping skills or...

[quote name='option.iv']Despite overkill granting that extra exp, that extra bullet could have been more useful for defending yourself later on, in case someone wanted to do a follow up gank/rape after your kill.

[quote name='option.iv'] Though I have to agree and say axe is much more ap efficient if you dont have bargain hunting and a mall nearby. And a loaded shotgun found or a flare would be a better alternative for the finishing blow.[/quote]This makes anti-sense. You say don't use an axe due to overkill and reduced accuracy, then suggest a shotgun or flare?
 
I killed a zed with 1 hp with a flare, it was grrrrreat!:D
I like to fight 'em with whatever I got handy, 'nuff said.

Option: It appears I should thank you for the mizzap so thanks!
 
Hey, I just realized that Gothic Walrus is holed up with me.

Also in other news, I will probably be over at the HQ tomorrow morning or Friday.
 
[quote name='The Crotch']That's a rather... large window. I recommend the "tomorrow" one.[/quote]

Well the problem is that I am going to be extremely busy tommorow between the hours of 8:00 AM and 11:00 PM. Which leaves very little time for me to play UD.
 
That should never, ever keep you away from videyagames.

Also, Firefox is now working for Timur Leng. Maybe someone over at the mall in Locket was haxxing me. And I even have Norten...
