Urban Dead

From what I remember looking at the wiki, they haven't implemented cell
phones fully yet, and so the power stations are an "excuse" for not
having cell phones working yet. I have a feeling that the power cill be
restored when the creators/admins enable them! I could of course, be
completely wrong. :smile:

---

My site

Nope you're right. There's a lot of stuff that's in the game but hasn't been "activated" yet.

Apparently you can find gas cans and they're rumored to be used for chainsaws... when they're added.

Blech, I'm going back east - less zombies, friendlier survivors.

There used to be 4 SnarkPitters in that station (plus me), now there are 2. Where is everyone!?!

---

My site

The station's been heavily barricaded so unless you have free running, you can't get in.

One day you'll know what you're talking about, I can hardly imagine

So where do we go?!?!

Wait, free-running gets you into heavily-barricaded buildings? Gahhh!

if you get in a building next to it then click on it it will

but if you just make it heavily barricaded only humans can get in so have someone weaken the barricad

Yeah free running lets you run from rooftop to rooftop basically.
Find a building that is very strongly barricaded (or less barricaded)
and then without leaving the building keep click on neighboring
buildings. You will travel through them without wandering the
streets.

It's a very useful skill, just don't stay where you're not
wanted. Sometimes very heavily barricaded buildings are host to
some paranoid and violent hermits.

I haven't been PKed yet, but I've had to ask nicely to stay a few times.

As for the status of my characters...

Bill Waterson is still in the PD in Havercroft and he's going to go on
a zombie hunting run so he can get some XP. I really need
free-running and bargain shopping so I can get into that mall and take
advantage of the gun-stores inside.

T Boardman is resting in a tower somewhere in Raines Hills.

My zombie character is part of a large mob shambling about Pegton.

I can't get the site to respond and its pissing me off. I'm sitting on full APs and they need to get spent!

.... this game is consuming my life.... i've started thinking about what i would do if zombies became a reality.

hmmm... i smell a new thread.

The site's not responding for me either. I have to agree, this game is
pretty involving. I think about my next move during the day and keep
refreshing that site even though I know I haven't got 50 APs yet.

What the Snarkpitters listen to!

I do the same thing OtZman.

The site is back up and blazing fast compared to how it was this past
week. It could also be that its 3:47 AM on a Wednesday morning.

My soldier is level 8 (and like 70 points away from a level and bargain
shopping!). It was awesome, I killed 3 zombies in 1 turn.
At least 2 of them had full health and 1 had a flak jacket (which was
annoying). I burned through all my shotgun ammo but I still have
plenty of pistol clips.

My firefighter is level 9 now, and once he hits 10 I'll pick up bargain
shopping. That's the last useful skill (I refuse to use headshot
with any of my characters, its so annoying as a zombie). I may
pick up tagging for the amusement factor.

My zombie is still level 1 and but I managed to get about 10 XP my last
50 moves. I really need Lurching Gate... I burn so many APs just
walking. I'm only about 48 xp away from getting it so thats good
I guess. I'm wandering around Nichols Mall in Stanbury Village
and I was shocked to see how many zombies are there with me.
Literally around 80 zombies mobbed in a four block group. I can't
even imagine attempting to wander in there as a survivor. At
least now as a zombie I know I'll gain 50 AP without dying
overnight. Finding food will be another matter entirely....

Meh, my guy died in 15 minutes on the streets, and not even in a particularly dangerous neighborhood...

One day you'll know what you're talking about, I can hardly imagine

AtM, have you had any trouble with the maximum site reload limit now that you're playing with three characters?

I'm tempted to create another one aswell.

[edit]

I just spent around 40 AP searching two police stations, and all I
found was two flare guns and a flak jacket. :sad: And when I used up
about the same amount to search a pub before that the only useful thing
I found was a shotgun.

Bad luck I guess.

I just noticed that when you've run out of AP the map window used to
navigate turns grey and "You are asleep." appears. Haven't noticed that
before so it must be a recent improvement. :wink:

---

What the Snarkpitters listen to!

Well, I've hit the limit a couple times but I just have to keep myself
from checking the status of my characters ever couple hours like I used
to.

I actually wish I hadn't started this zombie character. I think
I'll abandon it if it remains as hard to level up. What I'll do
is take one of my human characters and save up ~1,000 XP and then let a
zombie eat me, or maybe I'll jump off a roof. Anyway -- I'll come
back as a zombie with a flak jacket, bodybuilding, diagnosis, and
enough XP to buy all the skills I need to do well. It'll probably
be less frustrating and if I ever want to be a human again the options
still there.

The hardest part of having 3 characters is keeping it clear in your
mind how many APs each has and where they're holed up and which skills
each already have.

Are you thinking of creating a zombie? If so, definitely go the
path I described above, its so much easier when you think about it (no
getting headshotted and losing XP).

I've noticed the new feature too. When you run out of turns as a
zombie you get a message along the lines of "You can't think anymore"
or "Too tired to think." It's pretty cool.

Anywhere in particular where we're meeting up again? I notice everyone's left the police station. Where to next?

---

My site

I'm making it my goal to get bargain shopping and then hit the mall
directly north of the police station. That's what I'm
doing. I'm trying to get enough ammo to build up 10 levels worth
of XP before joining the zombies.

I realized that (high level) zombies are more fun to play as because there is an actual goal. Taking over the entire city.

Since zombies can't be permanently killed, when a survivors kills a
zombie it pretty much means nothing. But when a zombie tears down
barricades with 70 friends and eats everyone inside... there's a
tangible swing in the balance of power in Malton...

Eventually -- the city will be so overrun that new players cant survive
long enough to fight back... and the game will become incredibly
difficult. How sweet would it be to have only 1 human controlled
area in the game, that's continually fending off zombie raids....

Wonder how many human players and how many zombie players there are.

:cool:

Some asshole spraypainted over my "Stay out or get shot!" message with "Everyone is welcome to stay here!"... so many people are going to pay for that...

---

Every time something happens that gives me additional cause to hate humanity I add another room to my Half-Life level.

Ok my Military guy just got bargain hunting and is currently boarded up
in the mall searching for weapons and ammunition until I can't carry
anymore.

After that its gonna be a bunch of turns slaying zombies just to get
enough XP to throw myself out a window and come back as a zombie with
all the skills.

:smile:

3 zombies had made it into the building I was in and the barricade had
apparently been torn down, so I killed one of them and hurt another one
before I found another building to hide in. Leveled up to level 2 and
bought advanced pistol training.

What the Snarkpitters listen to!

Otz, that sounds like the police station that i was in yesterday. there were 3 z's inside, and i think 17 outside. i'd used up all my ap's earlier in the day, but logged in from my mates house when i was troubleshooting his connection.(nowt wrong with it, as it turned out)

i'd only aquired another 3 ap's, but it was enough to shout a warning and get out. (free running was my #1 upgrade :smile: )

---

i eat paint

It wasn't a police station I was in. I think it was a NecroTech
building because in the building description it said that there was
NecroTech logo on one of the walls.

I'm in Kempsterbank by the way.

So, how's it going for the snarkpit alliance?

---

What the Snarkpitters listen to!

I just killed two zombies and leveled up, now on level 3. I bought the free running skill. Useful.

---

What the Snarkpitters listen to!

Well my level 9 firefighter got caught outside when the servers went
down today. When I finally managed to log back on he was
dead. Luckily I had about 280 XP so I immediately bought lurching
gait and vigor mortis. So now I guess my firefighter is a level
11 zombie.

My other zombie finally leveled (to 2!) and I increased his chance to hit.

My marine is still searching for ammo in the mall. He's level 10
and almost has 100 xp. I'm going to save up at least 500 xp with
him (if I can) before dying and coming back as a zombie.

My final gameplan is to have 3 zombies scattered near Ridleybank
(although not working together) to help out with the general human /
zombie ratio.

im at jensen i just use all my ap to search

have a couple pistols a vest and some shotgun shells

tell me where to go and ill come revive some of you

My ex-firefighter now undead shambler is in southwest Raines
Hills. I can meet you outside Jensen later. I'll try to
make my way there.

i went hunting last night, and by the time i got back to the police station with my final AP, i couldn't get in. i had to hang around outside to collect some AP's to go elsewhere, but i got chewed before i managed that. :sad:

That happens to me a lot. Currently I go on hunts to find a police
station which I can actually get into, hopefully with enough AP to get
back to the Necrotech building I'm currently in just in case. Currently
I've done this three times, and I couldn't get into any of the five
stations.

My site

I've resolved to stay a zombie and make it my personal mission to get rid of all barricades.

I am in some hospital or another. Havent played in days... gonna go level up now..

DANG IT! some zombie broke thru EXTREMELY HEAVILY BARRICADED and killed me 2 days ago...

Just spent 46 AP searching a police department. I'll try to level up
and stock up on some supplies, then I might head towards the middle and
see if I can slaughter some zombies.

level after snarkfathers latest post: | |

wait... thats the same

I don't know if people are still playing, but I've been playing my 3 characters almost every day.

Progress is slow with my two zombie characters. The inability to
hunt down humans because of my lack of skills has made me resort to
zombie killing. It's slow going, with a level maybe ever four or
five days. So -- my ex-fireman now zombie is level 13, with 4
zombie skills. My pure zombie is only level 3 (but close to a
level, I should have it next turn).

My marine (still barricaded in Ackland Mall) is doing the best.
Firearms is definitely the way to go. I spend 2 or 3 turns
searching for ammo, and then 2 turns just unloading it all and leveling
often. Right now he's level 10 but I'm sitting on exactly 600
saved XP. When I die (which might be soon since I hear the RRF
hoard is coming to Ackland) I'm going to immediately buy 6 zombie
skills which should be enough to keep me happy until I'm revived.

I quit a few weeks ago when my policeman got zombiefied during the ONE
hour i left him on the streets during a lesson. It really pissed me off.

Still playing, im in Lonely Row PD in East Becktown. Zombie hoards will
come clawing at the door soon, like so many flesh eating jehovahs
witnesses...

I'm still playing. I'm hanging around the mall in Tollyton. My
character is level 7 now. I've been thinking about heading to the fort
in Peppardville.

go hang out outside a hospital in an area where there are no zombies, and you should get revived quite quickly.

or an NT building. There are also known revive spots which you can find via the wiki.

if you stand in one spot long enough you will get rev'd

go to ackland mall and see a horde of armies, over 90 zombies on one block and like 60 on another

Nah, its too late. Ive lost the will to play it.

I was just in Ackland Mall. I logged in to see that my corner had
been overrun (after about 4 days of fighting them in the other 3
corners). I had been bitten once and infected, but luckily found
a FAK on the first search. I contemplated letting them kill me
since I'm already level 10 and have 759 XP saved up. But I
decided I'd run and get some more ammo and go out in a blaze of
glory. Hopefully I can get to 900 XP before I die, so I can get
all the useful zombie skills immediately. I'm hiding to the south
of Ackland.

My other two characters are zombies right now, but don't have enough XP
to do anything really. So I've just been killing other zombies
until I hit level 6 -- at which point I'll go around knocking down
barricades and opening doors and checking what's inside.

This game is still pretty fun in my eyes. I have yet to kill a
human (harman) but... I will soon. I wan't to very badly.
It seems more meaningful than killing immortal zombies.

My character is now level 8. I can imagine that the game won't feel as
fun after buying all skills. I've still quite a few left to buy though.
I'm still close to the mall in Tollyton. Things are happening here,
zombies are attacking nearby hospitals and the mall. I'll save up 50 AP
and use them to kill some zombies.
