A Few Suggestions To Look At

Hello There~

Getting Gems In Saferooms: I was wondering if this could happen because that's the best place to craft gems while you can't get hurt. Let's say you're in versus and you go out of the saferoom to craft, you'd be vulnerable, so you'd easily lose tons of health or even die. Now let's say in extreme co-op... if you go out and craft there, you'd die in like 10 seconds.

Stats From Tanks: Let's say you are in a saferoom in co-op. And an admin spawns tanks there. Once you kill it, and the toaster drops, isn't the whole point of it is to get the bonuses from the toasters? So shouldn't it save? So if you go out then you'll get ripped to shreds from zombies and SI. Then there will be no point in killing tanks in saferoom because people like killing tanks for toasters. And it's the admin's decision to spawn it in the saferoom. So I think it should save.

Tanks In Saferoom During Versus: If a tank gets into a saferoom, its job is to tear the survivors to pieces right? But how could he do that without being able to get bounty for heals in the saferoom? Let's say there were 4 survivors with melees and they run at you and melee you. There's 0% You'd live. So could the tanks still get bounty in saferooms? Because without that, you shouldn't even bother with it then. To be honest, that's annoys me like crazy. Today, I didn't know I wouldn't get bounty, and I was in the saferoom rockin' 4 survivors with 150 bounty, but they rocked be instead. I couldn't get bounty so I failed. That's a bit unfair.

How To Prevent Farming? (For Co-op): If all of these suggestions actually happen, and I bet you're now wondering "Then people would farm!!!" This might help stop it, although, I do not know how hard it's going to be to program it like this. Honorcode could make zombies not come running to the saferoom so you wouldn't be able to just spam your melee and get exp. Or you could stop survivors from getting points / exp / bounty from zombies and make them not drop toasters UNTIL you go outside.

Let me know the results and thank you!

 

from a player's standpoint, i like this idea very much.

from the admin's standpoint... here's my set of predicted replies:
1. It's not going to be that easy.
2. We don't have enough people to work on this.
3. It's gonna take a long time to process this.

so yeah, wouldn't get my hopes up for a quick change.

 

I can craft in safe room, but tanks in safe room are kinda bonus. not many admins can do it.

 

Actually all of the admins can spawn Tanks in the safehouse but spawning tanks in the safehouse in the finale is a bad idea because that is like giving survivors free multi toasters ..

 

Yeah, so I think stats should be saved in saferooms (COOP) when they heal someone / admins spawn tanks. But NOT saving stats when you kill zombies when they're knocking at your door. And even if they drop toasters, those don't save either.

For versus, I really think having bounty in saferooms is a 100% must for a tank. Raised, I think you understand my point when you're a tank and don't manage to get bounty and that'll prevent heals which gives survivors pretty much 100% win. Which is totally unfair

 

Sorry stoned, i stopped caring about L4D2 so it wouldn't make a difference to me if tanks HP was reduced from 15,000 to 5000.

 

No bounty in saferoom for tanks is the worst thing that could happen to me lol. And that isn't farming. So the coop suggestions would be great if done too, but I really would like the bounty for tanks in saferooms to work. Do you know if HC might work on this? Or would this suggestion be thrown in the trash as well?

 

Don't know, haven't spoken to HC in days because i've been playing other games. It really comes down to what HC and Marvel feel needs changing/doing. He would have to put exceptions in the code to say if this scenario then leave bounty/points etc on so that will also take some time and i'm not sure if he has time since he is working on other things too..

 

I understand but do you know if Marvel or HC responds to private messages or chat?

 

It's quite rare if they do, especially to non-admins because usually admins talk about either admin issues or related to the game whereas non-admins could come up to you with complaints which could be dealt with by talking to other admins. HC and Marvel are busy and they do get plenty of PM's so they barely get a chance to read/respond to all of them. They do check the forum so this is your best bet or if it's REALLY important then either talk to one of the other roots or admins so they can pass your message to them..

 

Alright i'll let a root admin to let HC or Marvel know. Thanks Raised!
