I'm still at the train station getting a group together so we can go and hunt zombies. We'll be spreading out drawing more people in and finding some zombies so if anyone is in Ridleybank keep an eye out (not literally).

As they have 50HP they are difficult to kill and will need quite a few people working together.

I am tracking one I have beaten down to 30HP and I now have a baseball bat (which is luck as I wasted a lot of bullets early on)

ah ok, what are the player names of the people with you ?

baggy, Banyan, Zallybie, Honnorr, proteusNL, icecicle

Now I look above the map it says "Pimbank" SO I think I have signed up in the wrong place :loon:

I'm creating a new account in Ridleybank - the are a Private called Kaleb.

Now a plan to find everyone......

[edit: But at the top of the map it says "Roachtown" - am I losing my mind and if yes please don't say ;) ]

[edit2: Despite being confused I did a quick bit of scouting from the start:

Club Rookes
E Gullick Towers
E Sealby Place
E Travis Towers - N Slape Way School (NW is Hoffman Walk and NE is Pegrum Square Fire Station)
E Heme Drive
E A Junkyard
E wasteland
E Hewlett Alley
E Veal Lane Police Dept.
E Budgie Cinema
E Gale Lane
E Crockfor Grove (NE is Finnerty Building and SE Hewett Place Police Dept.)

I'm now back at Travis Towers with a small group of people.

If we map out a cross 10-15 across it should make it easier for people to find us and if they map their wanders and route then others should be able to find them.

If we are in the same area ;) ]

no u just move into diff zones i noticed that when i was searching ridleybank,so ur diff characters cud probably find each other ( but they dont allow that )

Ahhhhhh cool. That makes sense. That means I was on the edge of an area which should make it easier to find.

That means Roachtown is to the east of Ridleybank so if you head east then you will be on the same latitude then and a 50/50 guess should have you going in the right direction - I'll have an extra look around.

One of us should stay stationary while the others look for them.

W The Thyme Walk Railway Station (now in Ketchelbank)
W wasteland
W The Keefe Building
W a car park
W Coaker Square (NW Huggins Towers and SW the Neagle Building)

So it looks like I'm on the border of Roachtown and Ketchelbank if that is any help.

Still in Roachtown:

From Gullick Towers I headed:

N Glanfield Cinema
N Alner mansion
N Alner mansion (its big!! Might be a handy meeting point)
E Vaux Grove School
N Tar Auto Repair

From here: NW a cemetry, NE Stonnard Lane and SE McCann Lane (in case anyone stumbles across my route)

Found a zombie and killed it!! Having a gun and skills with it is handy. Still used up a whole clip (I started with a spare and found another which is handy) but I quickly got 30XP so......

The other guy is keeping relatively stationary with a group although I had a go at a zombie but thrashing at it with a baseball bat is slow work ;)

Can you give items to other players?

I have a fireman named Groob, currently at the wild walk police dept.
I have an axe, a pair of wire cutters, a crowbar, a pistol clip, and a first aid kit.
the wire cutters came in handy to cut a chain so I could enter a building earlier.
Now I sit there out of action points and there is a zombie there!!! do they ever attack you back?

Emperor

07-16-2005, 10:52 AM

Sweet! i have 7 characters now lol 2 i killed to become zombies and one was killed by another play grrr!! poor Kim Bauer but anyway i found that if u just search the same place over and over u get multiple items, in 7 searches i got 2 shotgunshells and a flak jacket

Do you still get to play as a zombie after your death?

Are some palces better to search than others?

[edit: Apprently so - I just did 16 searches in a hospital and turned up 3 first aid kits. Signed up a new account to test this and make them into a zombie ;) ]

Are some charcters better in general? I know some have better scavenging skills.

Today I was just beating up zombies. My soldier in Roachtown is now on 66XP - I'm hoping to get them up to 75 soon so I can rapidly cash it in which should make zombie killing easier.

[edit: I have 4 characters:

Hiro - cop

Kaleb - soldier

Hurbert - fireman to make into zombie

Rufus Hart - fireman as the above made me realsie what a good character it was. 25% with a 3 damage axe means they can realy hack into the zombies - in my first round with this character I got him up to 48XP and once I've killed the nearby zombie there are 2 others in adjacent squares.]

07-16-2005, 03:44 PM

I made a new guy named AllThings ZombieMan just to make him more identible, he is in Ridley bank, but I ran out of action points, but I have a shotgun shell and a pistol clip that I found.

I signed up as Pain (believe it or not!). Killed a zombie yesterday, not a lot else going on.

Chibi

07-17-2005, 08:01 AM

yeah the civi gets better searching in malls, the scientists can gain xp from reading books they find, actually i think every1 can but they better chance not sure.

I found some fuel cans as well, i clicked and it said " nothing here needs refueling " hmmm

I have a shotgun and some shells with 1 player but the fact each shot is %10 to hit is kinda annoying and not worth throwing away, the combats way too low on your stats, you just miss and miss and miss.

But i have killed 3 players now using my zombies hehe seems a shame though because my zombies were "killed" and i could get them right back up again in same place with full Hp and i keep all my XP....mm so i dunno how u KILL KILL zombies O_o or maybe its just player controlled zombies that can do that.

my ppl are

Kea Wong in Houlden bank, not much xp or ammo left :(

Chib in fryerbank is a zombie and nearly have 100 xp :D ( i been killed twice and got back up again, currently attacking 4 players in a firehouse and there are 2 computer zombies with me

sakura chan in barville, not done much no items really

Neil in Dunningwood has most xp of my human characters , just spend 40 AP on attacking a zombie with an axe and missed everytime ¬_¬ sigh

NeilD is another zombie character and im in a building attacking people....ooh Pain you are IN that building haha so feel free to club my zombie to bits for xp i wont attack u back, Devin long is some1 with u, im trying to kill him tho, he did loads of idiotic comments to players so.

kim bauer ( 24 raar ) WAS a human until another play killed her over night for no reason

Chibster is my main character and is around riddleybank ( i THINK i am, im lost again) im trying to look for emporer there. i have shells, fuel cans crowbars, first aid kits and pistol ammo with him :D i spent 2 real days searching the same police station over and over hehe.

Helen - my scientist , but doesnt seem anything special about them.

Chibi

07-17-2005, 08:07 AM

Hey we could make up 1 new character each and start in the same place ??

07-17-2005, 10:15 AM

My character found a bottle of beer and drank it, but I didn't notice any effect.

Do the computer zombies ever attack you back? I have been around 3 of them and came out with out a scratch.

Emperor

07-18-2005, 09:10 PM

Yeah the poor percentages for doing anything is a bit of a pain which is why the fireman works well.

I've trained mine up so they now get 40% which isn't bad.

I also had some good luck searching in a police station and came up with a shotgun and a couple of shells. You can train up your shotgun skills too so that might be handy if you get one.

As the zombies keep getting back up again then that will cause problems further down the line - I was fighting some guy and he killed me and I stood back up again and kept chewing on him. Which means the scientists are going to come in very handy.

There are problems with getting people together as even when you specify your start posiiton something happens en route and sticks you somewhere else. Best bet is if someone stays put and we all try making characters until we get close.

The person who stays put scouts out their area so we will stumble on them. That way we can at least get a core together.

Where my cop is there are two police stations and a hosptial right nearby which seems a good place to hole up. Thoughts?

07-19-2005, 10:29 AM

I'm in the Flaherty Cinema. so far i have found 2 books and a crowbar and have searched quite a few buildings. :x

No zombies spotted yet.

Emperor

07-19-2005, 10:46 AM

OK my cop charater is still at Buckmaster Crescent Railway Station in Pimbank and we are getting a bit of a team together. There is an enthusiastic scientist who has started sampling zombies. We have hospitals, libraries and police stations and a mall within 4 squares so should be able to start getting some serious supplies together.

Now the real find the scientist has made is GPS - the station is at [64, 49] whihc is close to the middle of the district. The mall is 3 squares to the NE and is [67,44] which suggests is work from the SE corner of each district. From where we are important landmarks are:

Grimshaw Police Dept (3S 2E); Dempsey Grove Police Dept (4S), Wadham Library (2S 1E), Quartly Library (3S 2W). Lambley Library (1N 2E), Tynte Mall (1N 3NE)

which means if you can get a character in Pimbank and you can find an edge then you can work inwards and the above covers a 10x10 area that you can stumble on. With more people we can expand that out to 20x20 so it gets easier.

I've dropped the URL in and some people might show up.

-------
I signed up another test account and travelled SE from RiddleyBank into Lockettside - it should be possible to work out how they lie in relation to each other.

[edit: and another one starting in Wray Heights heading NE and has now entered Shackleville.

If anyone of these are close to people let me know - I can kill off most accounts eventually.]

[edit2: And another one - started in Ruddlebank went NE into Lockettside and I rapidly found Tompson Mall

so that Mall lies to the south of Lockettside so........

we know these three probably lie like:

RiddleyBank
Lockettside
Ruddlebank

and another account starting in Lukinswood and heading SE into Lerwill Heights and then into Reganbank soooooo with a bit of nosing around it looks like this

....................Lukinswood
Reganbank......Lerwill Heights

if that is any help - if people just sign up a few accoutns and head off clicking it doesn't take long and you can cover some ground and eventually join a few of thise scraps together,]

and i have 2 zombies that are level 2 and are on 74 and 45 xp

Emperor

07-19-2005, 03:19 PM

OK a bit more nosing around and this is definite:

Lockettside....Dartside
Spicer Hills...Williamsville

and the mall in Lockettside is 9 in from the E edge and 6 from the S edge.

This would suggest it may actually be more like this:

..................RiddleyBank
..................Lockettside....Dartside
Ruddlebank...Spicer Hills... Williamsville

I have a character at the Mall and others in adjacent squares nosing around so I'm going to encourage people in the area to all meet there.

How much stuff can your character carry?
I have quite a bit including 3 pistol clips(but no pistol) 1 shotgun shell, first aid kit, 2 bottles of beer, 2 flak jackets, axe, 2 crowbars, wire cutters and 1 or 2 other things
Is there a limit? or will this list just grow and grow?

Don't mind this game, although I wish talking didn't cost action points. People might actually commincate then.

I started with 3 characters and 2 have been killed and turned into zombies. I'm going to see how long my long character survives. He's only a civilian.

I like that updates are being made and it's getting a bit scarier now that there are more and more zombies.

i made another character hes a fireman in ridley bank. his name is well stale 9.
just trying to keep things simple. i attacked a zombie like 40 times and missed everytime........almost out of action points its almost impossble to hit a zombie.

EDIT: i had to run to the whitny fire station cuz a like 8 zombies attacked me and 3 other ppl. i didnt wait around i just ran and i only have 6 action points left and have secured the firestation. noone else is in there with me

Chibi

07-21-2005, 05:27 PM

heya i had a big day on this game, my BEST character was killed by another player who with 2 characters he used killed me and others in a police dept, so i made up a character to replace mine. i also made up 3 ppl that hunted this bastard and killed him and because of this all my characters in that area were banned. but so was the other dude so an eye for an eye. BUT i do have other characters in the city , a new soldier, a fireman a cop and a zombie.

oh and dude the firemen/women rock! u prob had bad luck, use ur fireaxe hits often and when u level up u hit even more.

07-21-2005, 08:00 PM

Anyone find a use for fuel cans yet?

2 of my zombies were killed but were able to get back up and start fresh. So are they open ended? can they just keep getting back up when destroyed?

Chibi

07-21-2005, 09:06 PM

yes zombies cannot be killed in the dead again sense, i speak to the creator of this on yahoo and it looks like this is certain. totally unfair really though since zombies dont need ammo, after 2 or 3 levels they kick ass, they KEEP their xp when they die and get ALL their HP back when u bring them back to life.
the fuel cans i think are going to be for equipment, ppl keep saying cars but i cant see that happening

My character died today. But NOT by a zombie. By some jackass human player killer. I don't mind dying from zombie attacks but other players who would rather get half the experience from killing me than a zombie just pisses me off.

Now I remember that griefers were the reason I stopped playing MMORPG's.

my screename is stalecrap182. should make it easier to find each other.

yep if u see my post, i had my best soldier and 3 people i was grouping with kiled by a group of playerkillers, since i was very annoyed i killed 2 of the PKer's by making multiple characters but i was banned in that area like they was, luckily he only checks the near by area and doesnt ban my characters all over the map, but thats fair since i didnt use those in any bad way.

Emperor

07-22-2005, 12:56 PM

Chibi has found me oer in Pimbank and we are holed up in a police station. I have sent the rest of the group I was with on to the Mall but with all these PKs it may be best to hide there and raid the Mall. The scientist is in the Mall and he is doing some good sampling of zombies - if we spot one we let him know, he samples them and then we kill them.

Is there any sign plasces get searched out and resources get scarcer? I know if I stay in a location too long it seems to get more difficult to find stuff. It'd make sense and we'd be forced to conserve bullets and rely on hand wepaons but.......

My fireman (not a euphemism) is now level 4 and going higher (he has fire arms and pistol skills and hand weapons and axe - next is medical skills and then body building) - great characters for levelling up ;)

My other characters are wandering randomly - the zombie has levelled up and killed someone. They are going to get nasty quickly.

Thoughts?

And any areas connect to Pimbank so people can come in form other zones?

Some improved area connections:

Huntley Heights....Santlerville
Randal Bank.........Heytown

....................Lukinswood
Reganbank......Lerwill Heights

..................RiddleyBank
..................Lockettside....Dartside
Ruddlebank...Spicer Hills.....Williamsville

Is it outright suicide to select a Civilian Consumer class setting? Will it be like waving a 'come kill me' flag for all those player killers you guys have been talking about? I've never played one of these games before, so I'm not quite sure what to expect. Any input/suggestions/advice would be appreciated. :)

Chibi

07-22-2005, 03:45 PM

well the civi's simply can find stuff better in malls, but since their combat is so poor it doesnt matter and if u search police stations u get weapons anyway. use a cop or a soldier or a fireman if u want a good zombie killing character

SpaceTurtle

07-22-2005, 08:33 PM

i created a fireman and a policeman.
played the last 3 days a bit. god the pace is damn slow, i read in the FAQs why there only are 50 Action Points but well, for 24h that is rather torture than joy...

still i think it is great

Made a Character today.
Military.
Named ||Nonn||
Shot a zombie, gained 21xp and then escaped before my AP ran out.
Wont say where i am, that'll probably get me killed. Course since ive only got about 2 rounds left, it might not really matter. All-in-all the game seems entertaining.

If only they'd make a game like this in a different style, maybe real-time with the ability to see your character and move him around with more detail.

Nah, im asking for to much.

I've just made a zombie and a cop called Dark Prince with a pistol (6) and two flak jackets. I was wondering if anyone knows how to change city.

Dark Prince

07-23-2005, 03:45 PM

Just did that with my new fireman called Dark Axeman in Ridleybank. Still worried about PKers though. Hopefully there will be an update that prevents you from being killed (including by other players) if logged off at least in areas where you can lock yourself in. Being killed while logged off is terrible and frustrating. :x

Also, the zombie's abilty to come back to life with full health every time they die is very unbalanced considering how hard they are to kill. Hopefully this game will fix these and some other major problems soon. :pray:

zombies should be changed so that they die perminantly. Also people should not be vunurable to attacks by onyone if they are logged off but your name should still be shown but in a different colour (or color :) ) .

I even tried from another pc in my house with a different ip with no luck. Oh well, just thought I'd vent.

07-24-2005, 07:49 PM

If you want to find guns and ammo go to a police station and spend ALL your points one day searching.... you find ALOT of good stuff that way.
One of my guys found 3 pistols a shotgun and lots of ammo for each.

Dark Prince

I keep missing. I lost points like crazy. I search everywhere and find nothing. There is never anybody doing anything but standing around. :x
I think that if someone is logged off or has no Ap left then their name should be displayed in another colour to avoid confusion and it will seem like somethings actually happening because you can see who's playing or not. Also, 50 Ap is not enough! Action points should definitely regenorate faster and it should be easier to hit the target (why have a pistol with 6 bullets if you know none of them will hit?)

Slumlord

07-25-2005, 06:15 PM

I see a problem arising, zombies can just get back up when they die so that makes you fearless when playing them and they go up in skills fast and become very powerful, while the living have to run and hide alot and miss alot in combat, making them move up slowly.

Eventually it will be all zombies at this rate.

Yeah, I'm getting tired of being killed in like 4 hits from a zombie. Then I come back online and my favorite character I've been working on is dead. Now I'm a zombie attacking everything. Disheartens me to even keep trying.

A lot of the people you are with are probably logged out. A character will remain there apparently for 5 days until they will be removed (just from the screen, not deleted).

When you log in there will be a summary of what has recently happened and anything that was said during that time will show up.

I think it's actually rare to have a group of people all logged on at the same time.

You need to be able to give other players equipment, one of my guys now has 3 pistols and 3 shotguns, I would gladly give some guns away!
In the FAQs it says that they're working on a trading system so you will soon be able to gladly give some guns away hopefully :)

Five days is too long. You're name should be be removed after a few hours so that you can tell who's online or not. Your name should also be a different colour while you are logged off.

I think that character was named man2, I have 7 human characters can't really remember which it was.

Now I am trying to figure out which characters to keep and which to let go since there is going to be a limit on moves.

Can you delete your own characters?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, nope that wasn't the person. Davie or Davis something I believe.

I don't think you can delete your own characters.

I agree that 5 days is too long. I thought it was like other games where when you logged out your character disappeared off the screen. When I first started talking to people I thought they were snobs. :)

As for a different colour, I don't agree. I think that would just encourage player killers.

what really gets to me is the fact that i had a level 7 fireman appropriatley named stale9, i signed on today and he had been attacked by 3 diff ppl, 2 zombies and 1 pk and now hes dead and im really pissed off...... :x

i also made a military private guy and was going to upgrade his pistol skill but logged on to find he was also killed by a zombie.

oh and i also lost my medic who had maxed out pistol skill and 4 med kits which i couldnt use because i wasnt logged in! and he was killed by 3 plyr killers. I MEAN WTF!!

sorry for the rant....but damnit plyr killers really piss me off
I'm really starting to lose interest in the game now. There seems to be no point in training up characters when they could easily be killed overnight when you're logged off. I'll definately play this game a lot more if your name would just dissapear when you're logged off but until then i'll just post on this forum and check the Urbandead news for updates.

07-27-2005, 11:43 AM

Ah but as this is a zombie game you don't stay dead long ;)

My cop has just been killed (I miscalculated my AP and got jumped by a load of zombies) chibi if youa re still in the area can you nip over to the SE corner of Tynte Mall and tell McCullen. I am on the same square but outside and he has any serum can he bring me back?

I keep standing up but people keep coming through killing me again but I'll keep doing it if he can keep an eye out for me (there is usually only one zombie on that square).

That is the advantage of being in a team with a scientist ;)

My fireman is now level 7 with more XP flowing in - he is in Houldenbank which is laid out like this:

Houldenbank
Penny Heights

and this is also the E edge of the map.

Emperor

07-27-2005, 12:01 PM

OK the map:

www.jonathanfletcher.f2s.com/urbandead/mapping.php

Seems a couple of my characters are within striking distance of Pimbank so they'll head off.

I also hear there is someone trying to create a large zombie-free zone in Chudleyton if that is closer.

Emperor

07-27-2005, 02:13 PM

OK now I have the map I can forumlate a plan. I have 3 characters in the smae general area.

My cop (Hiro) is in Tynte Mall in Pimbank

My soldier (Kaleb) will be heading to Blomfield Grove Police Dept in Ridleybank.

My fireman (Rufus Hart) will be moving up to Fennessy Place Police Dept or Meyrick Plaza Police Dept (they are next to each other) in Peppardville.

They all have good access to resources and it should be possible to set up dead free areas - find them, cure them or kill them.

The worst thing is if they get into big groups.

So take your pick and see you there.

07-27-2005, 04:07 PM

well i made a new character named mr sir, and i managed to find 7 pistol clips, a shotgun, 5 shells, and some wine. i was just about ot call it a day and hide out when without warning i got the server has been accessed to many times.

Wait.... with serum you can be brought back? Is there any restrictions on that?

I think with the access limit a number of the zombies will disappear and players pick and chose which characters to play. Player killing should totally be taken out of the game though.

Does get frustrating to keep losing your human players.

Emperor

07-28-2005, 03:00 PM

Wait.... with serum you can be brought back? Is there any restrictions on that?

Not that I'm aware of -I lost my cop when I miscalculated my AP and a wandering zombie took me out standing outside of where we were holed up. I stood up and got splattered by wandering players, tried again and our scientist brought me back.

Thats why the only way to stay alive is to get in a group and get some fighters to cover your scientist. They can sample zombies and then search for the serum in NecroTech buildings and bring zombies back to life. We are currently maintianing a dead free zone with regular sweeps through - we spot them, sample them and then kill or revive them. The new headshot skill should also really help and if he stays alive I should have my fireman character trained up soonish.

There are a variety of dead free areas being setup:

Pimbank - SE corner of Tynte Mall [68, 45] (also a big group in Applegate Alley PD [64, 43]). My cop Hiro is there now and we seem to be doing OK at the moment). If anyone is zombified and wants to get back to being a human head across there and hole up nearby, drop a note in here and I'll get someone to bring you back.

Peppardville - Fort Creedy (and the armoury it contains [79, 48]). A lot of people I have met are heading that way - it is crawling with zombies people are meeting in the adjacent PDs [75, 48] and hospitals and trying to clear it out. I am sending my level 7 fireman in but random zombie keep oing hit and run attacks and he is now stuck in a hospital with a zombie so I'm unsure if he'll make it.

Ridleybank - my soldier (Kaleb) trying to set something up with the people at Blomfield Grove [57, 44] and surrounding hospitals to clear the area. Ridleybank, Peppardville and Pimbank are in a line it means we should be able to cover our flanks

Chudley Town - Mall or Rodwell Row PD. I keep hearing rumours and have run acorss graffiti so....

Edgecombe - Chanter Alley PD [75, 55]. I'm nearly there on my way to the Fort.

Also try Lockettside - Tompson Mall seem logical

I tried Ling Boulevard PD and Mitchem Mall in Vinetown but most people were moving on to Edgecombe or Peppardville.

Emperor

07-31-2005, 01:48 PM

Good to meet up with some of you in the game.

Current positions:

--
Hiro (lvl 2? cop) Applegate Alley Police Dept [64, 43] but moving back to this position soon:

--
Rufus Hart (lvl 8 fireman): Tynte Mall [68, 45] - he is saving AP and getting healed and moving to the Necrotech labs @ the Marks Building [71, 46]. He has learned Construction as soon as it became available and Tynte Mall is now as secure as it can be and he did 3 lots on Applegate PD. If anyone fancies dfending the NecroTech lab then feel free to join in - if it works OK we might use it as a jumping off point to attack Fort Creedy (or not).

--
Kaleb (lvl 2 or 3 soldier) Blomfield Grove Police Dept [57, 44] staying put and I think we are getting a team together to keep the area dead-free. He is also my only character not to have been killed ;)

-----------
So if anyone is interested in joining us there is plenty of zombie killing to do with different options on how quickly you'd like to die ;)

--
Also if anyone dies and doesn't want to play a zombie we can bring you back if you want - instructions above still stand.

-----------
The limit on hitting the server is really biting home - playing 3 accounts as logging in counts too (as I suspect does checking other people's profiles) so you only get a couple of goes a day.

It was naughty but I used an anonymous proxy server to finish off the last of today's AP. Hopefully I can tease out the page impressions so I can run 3 characters withut reosritng to that (its not exactly fair on the guy running the game).

Emperor

07-31-2005, 02:05 PM

a zombie got into the police station we were in emperor. but i killed him and removed the body, i also killed one of the 4 zombies outside. im not sure how long barricades last but i hope whoever has that skill keeps doing it.

Cool - I took a few swings at that one myself (esp. as he took a few swings at me). You'll need to get rid of the zombies outside as they draw in others (safety in numbers).

Its also worth a couple of people grabbing Construction when they get their specialist skills in - I assume it gives the building HP beofre the zombies can break in and so should mean people can keep it repaired and stay safer.

If the team in Applegate wants to cover the N and W areas the team in Tynte Mall can cover the S and E and focus on keeping the zombies form the E down. Sound like a plan?

Ok someone explain this clearly to me. i made a character in a random location. killed a zombie but i dont see any other survivors. just lots of zombies on the map. How do i find people? and if people started in a diff location can we find each other?

Trick is when you are on your won keep your head down, keep moving, tria up when you can, hide when you are running out of AP but keep some in hand.

Use the map:

www.jonathanfletcher.f2s.com/urbandead/mapping.php

esp. if you want to help find us.

I've also circulated the ATZ link every now and again so other people can discuss things here and save AP.

It does suck as I want to play more, but I think it will even things out. I remember when he put the dead and rising counter on the main page. One day it was 6000 plus and less than 24 hours later it was 15000. Holy crap!

Forcing people to play just a few characters means that after 5 days those you haven't played will be removed from the map (although my understanding is not deleted) and there won't be people playing 20 plus zombies slaughtering everyone else. Players will be forced to play humans or zombies and level up just a few characters rather than 20 or more.

Of course those few zombie players that concentrate on one or two characters are going to be more powerful. :)

Tip for the day: When you get Construction skills make sure you keep the level at: "very strongly barricaded" above that and people can't get in or out so make sure you get the balance right (and yes I know this because I've walled a big load of us into a building - luckily it is under constant zombie attack so we can get out but I dn't want to go killing zombies and find the door shut behind me).

Stale9: You probably won't find everyone online at the same time. Best bet is to make sure everyone is on the same page, save up your AP and do your own zombie killing run. As long as everyone is working to the same plan you don't need to be online a lot (and given page impression restrictions this is unlikely) to keep the pressure up.

Really, where at?

Kidding... just playin' I'm not really following anyone around, I am just making a clean sweep. They really should beef up the humans more with something like more hit points or maybe 'power ups' that boost accuracy (or something like that) for a few rounds. I guess it's just how you play it but I wasn't real good at staying alive, probably 'cause I was a loner and didn't group up.

Contrary to other people's advice; hospitals,Police Stations,etc. are good safe houses aslong as a few survivors are inside. If barricaded, then thats even better. But this seems to only apply to me for some reason. Wonder when my luck'll run dry.

Do what I'm doing just in case i fall into a situation such as yours.
Train up a second character as a Necrotech untill he can revive fallen survivors, grab a necrotech syringe and go revive your character.

Or if you dont wanna go through that long process, just ask someone to revive you in the Urban dead forums. :roll:

Is there anybody in pimbank that knows a safehouse other then tynte mall? because the mall is getting besieged by more and more zombies.

i think im done wiht this game.....my fav character (peter dotd) was killed cuz i left the tynte mall to get more ammo and the server went all screwy and i couldnt get back on till the next day only to find him dead..........

If you hang on in there I'll try and find our NecroTech guy. I'm afraid I was off somewhere else rather stuck because of the server downtime (latest news suggests it is nearly fixed - lets hope so as it is dreadful at the moment) and the Mall was bust wide open and a load of people killed which is a pity as it wouldn't have happened if people could actually login and stuff.

We do need all the good human players we can get at the moment so when we sort something out I'll let you (and anyone else in the area) know where to stand.

It seems like a move to get money from players. If they really are upgrading I guess it is worth it. I started playing a few days before it went down and I could only get on yesterday for five minutes to realize my Zombie is almoat wasted because he can't fight back.

I should also warn you there is at least one person in the vicinty with the Headshot ability so all that hard work could be for nothing.

hey, im new to Urban Dead, but i defiently know how to play. Just trying to get xp from shooting zombies with my suspiciously low ammount of ammo, sure, i could get more ammo at the police stations, but everyone i go to has been overrun by zombies and has 3-5 zombies there and a whole lotta dead bodies, so im not gonna waste my time trying to go searching, im getting the hell out of there. I have two accounts and my private is currently holed up with 3 guys in a strongly barricaded warehouse, i wish it was a station so i could get some more goddamn ammo.
While my police officer is holed up in a factory that is "loosely barricaded" with one other guy, im gonna have to keep an eye on that account, i can already feel the zombies hammering on the barricade as i speak...

Howdy, y'all - any freelance Zombie hunters in the Grigg Heights area should make their way to the Spry Road Police Department and help reinforce our defense. We have 8 survivors holding out, but the Dead keep tearing at the windows and doors - shootouts on the department steps and all that.
We're holding them at bay for the moment, but a carpenter or two would be a blessing right now. Good luck out there, pardners. Aim for the head.

just so you know, as soon as you think you have enough XP and are running low on ammo or health, its time to get out of there. be fast with your clicking and try to save enough AP to find a heavily barricaded warehouse or factory and hide out there until you get more AP. trying to make "final stands" are pointless because the zombies will be back and there is no way to permanently kill a zombie. and dont think your base is undefeatable, the zombies will always get in, always....

SheriffValis

08-16-2005, 08:45 PM

You speak the truth, amigo, but a network of defended and reinforced buildings with ammo and doctors/scientists is the first step to reclaiming the city. If enough sectors can train scientists in the art of Revivification, and keep them alive while they reanimate Zombs, it'll help the side of the living.
We all have to work together to keep each other alive, and the first step is finding other survivors and combining abilities - whichever side works together the best will inherit the city. Good luck!

So now I can once again use all 6 of my humans. Why didn't I think of this sooner?

What do you do when another player attacks you??? first I let everyone know who is a player killer so others can watch out, then if I see him I let him have it!!!

But today I log on to find one of my characters has been badly injured by another human, and that human is still in the same building as me!!!!!!! I guess he ran out of AP's....
Guess what I did??????

I "F"ed that bitch up good! then dragged his dead body outside. :evil:

the funny thing is that attacking your same race (be it human or zombie) you get half the ammount of usual EXP and hitting random zombies is easier as they cant hunt you down(well they can, but at higher levels) like humans can.

What do you expect? Their brains ARE rotten, ya know...

I had a beginning fireman who was almost to level 2 when he got munched - so I find a Necrotech Building that zombies have opened and entered. Inside are two scientists and a zombie attacker. Acting on "remaining human instinct" or something, Zombie Fireman knocks down the other undead and begins trying frantically to indicate that he wants to be revived, which is hard to do with just 'Mrh?' and 'Graagh!'

One scientist, understandably enough, bolts and disappears into the city. The other one shows no sign of recognizing Fireman's zombie charades, and stands there for a full day contemplating. So I ate him. :evil:

2. In Brooksville, at St. Anastasious's church just below Dore st. police dept.

3. In Brooke hills, at McNally walk just above Ryley rd. police dept.

4. In Crooketon, at Squibbs crescent just above Antheros Gen. hospital

5. In Lamport Hills, just below Rolls road police dept, and some hospital

The no 5 guy listed is my best, however that area is under extremely heavy attack right now with 19 zombies on the hospital barricade and 14 on the police depts barricade, and several other zombies wandering the area.

08-28-2005, 04:55 AM

The problem is that we're fighting a lost cause. There is no way to revive zombies with brain rot(and most have it) and survivors aren't that organzied. We actually need to find a better way to get rid of zombies, I read about a teleport where the dead guys would stand up in a random place, it's nice for survivors to get rid of zombies this way, as the damn things just simply stand up now.

But it costs 10 action points to get up. Which isn't a whole lot cause if I die I can stand up with 1 action point remaining and wait to get more without lossing an additional 9.

Also, that head shot thing is pissing me off to no end. I had 98 experience points once and lost it all to a head shot. Now, I can just go to a heavily zombie populated area and open a can a whoop-ass on my fellow zombies for experience points then buy skills and then go look for humans and not worry about the head shot thing but there is no fun in that.

I refuse to get brain-rot though. It's stupid, I'd like to become human again but no-one ever helps me so I beat their ass instead. I say if you purchase brain rot and then die... that's it, game over. Try again. :)

Weasel

08-28-2005, 01:06 PM

I had about six different accounts made, and all but one of them has died so far. :(
Also have two zombies that are fully leveled up, with alot of extra experience to spend on nothing.

It's getting really hard.. all the big fortifications are being over run by massive amounts of zombies. I have no idea how the humans are going to end up gaining the upper advantage again. When I first joined, you were lucky if you found a zombie roaming around.. now you're lucky if you don't find one.

SheriffValis

Northeast Malton is a bad, bad place for tasty humans to be lurking - The Many has been exterminating all survivors with terrifying efficiency on their eastward march. Last reports had one column of 100+ dead soldiers headed east (and a second headed west) from Chancelwood in the direction of Dulston, just north of Pescodside. This is a fully organized Zombie army, already responsible in part for the eradication of several strongly fortified human squads. I suspect that they intend to clear Treweeke Mall in Dulston of all life, so get word to those poor bastards if you can.

Wish I could give you better advice on where to seek fellow humans - I and my squad are holed up on the West coast, fighting a game of hit and run on small groups and relocating as needed. If you head our way, be aware that The Sons of Lazarus and some undead rock group called the Meat Off The Bone Tour are hunting in the Central and Southcentral Malton districts. Stay low and move fast, and don't let their scent hunters get your trail...

shooting, hacking , bashing and stabbing the zombies is not going to lead to victory. We must get the necro tech skills and start re-viving them.

They were massing in the Scorse Cinema, Peppardville at one point - rumor has it that they abandoned their chosen target due to unexpectedly fierce resistance. I think it might have been the Marshment Place PD two blocks west, but I can't be certain. 25 Zeds are still hanging out inside the Cinema, though - must be a late night showing of "Dawn of the Dead".

As to where The Many are headed next, I'll keep asking survivors about hordes. I just hope they're not heading west. My human survivor has been living comparatively well in his suburb, and I don't think armies of the damned fit into his future plans.

Same here, Only I don't want em to head north ^_^

On a side note, maybe survivors here that want to be relatively safe should head north from Santlerville into the suburb of Pashenton, There are a couple of safehouses there and a small survivor army is also forming around that area. We'll try to hold off The Many as best as we can, should they head to that area. Pashenton is also a great supply area since it has almost all types of buildings around it.

Anyways, I'll try to stay alive...And if i'm a zombie I hope i'll get rezzed:P

09-13-2005, 01:54 AM

I don't know if the power grids are functional yet, but it's expected that they will allow anyone with a cellphone to communicate with each other. They also tend to attract zombies who hang out waiting for curious humans, so be cautious.

Pashenton is doing a real good job holding off the undead menace - my zombie character wandered in there and barely managed to break into a PD before being quickly executed and dragged outside minus his brains. I think the bunch that did for him was The Deanimators, at least that's what graffiti outside claimed.

My main character, Buford Valis (ex-military) has managed to stay alive 33 days now but my safehouse in Grigg Heights was exposed by some human traitor to the Zombies, forcing a quick relocation to a slightly more central location. South Blythville is also looking strong in human supporters, send me a message if you are headed our way and looking for shelter.

Edited to add: Zombiehunter666 - I like what I see on your group's site - I'm near the Marven Mall, one suburb north of you. Soon as I have ammo for the trip together, I'm headed down your way to offer my services. http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=55988

Good to hear you're still one of the living, Stale9 - if you have Free Running, pick a spot near the Police Department but not inside.

Often you can find a good hiding place nearby to sleep at night, then hop over to whatever building you need to loot in the morning before you go out hunting for the undead.

Same goes for Malls, but doubly so - I got to see the Tynte Mall massacre on 9/14 from the perspective of a wandering zombie alt, probably the only safe observer for blocks. It was ugly and impressive, and pretty well organized I have to admit. The graffiti on site claimed responsibility by The Undying Scourge, so at least one (smallish) army is still active.

Are The Many heading towards Pashenton yet? We are seeing a disturbing amount of zombie movement in the same direction...(Namely the north-east, into the next suburb,Rhodenbank)

We seem to haven northern Pashenton mostly cleared of zombies, with a few exceptions of course, so if you want to be *relatively* safe, head there. I'm in dungey alley PD. We did get a big attack a week ago(20 zombies bashing down the doors) but we repelled em and revived most of them(Some guys were screaming: "KILL ME!" ^_^ )

I think The Many are the bunch that just attacked Giddings Mall in Pitneybank - so they are at least in the Northeast area, Sylvos. I've got no idea where they're going next, except that it won't be anywhere in Shearbank, as that's where DARIS set up it's Populat, and most of The Many are affiliated with them. (read: the Zeds aren't going to attack their human friends from the same message boards)

The Undying Scourge are the other, separate army of Zombies that I have seen recently - identified by their graffiti left behind as the bunch in Tynte Mall on 9/14. They're a lot smaller in number than The Many, but very well coordinated and active. About 35-40 members from what I saw in Tynte, though some of those were probably random walkers attracted by the carnage.

I've heard survivors talk about other mobs, such as Minions Of The Apocalypse, or The Deadites, but I have yet to meet them, thankfully. Oh, and The Dead Tankers, abt 20 ex-military corpses, are laying seige to Fort Perryn.

Ain't it great the amount of imagination a simple CGI web game can bring out?

And there's at least as many human organizations as well, though some like DARIS are even more dangerous than the Zombies. At least they stay in Shearbank.

Sure is!^^

I'm thinking of joining a survivor organisation myself...but the thought of being a loner is also appealing..Running around with his trusty axe trying to stay alive and helping where he can.

Buuut...Who or what is DARIS?

and is there a forum to post suvrivor organisations?

DARIS and the MANY are members of a forum site called something awful. Many of them are members of DARIS and the MANY, thus the many can't attack DARIS according to the TOS of the game. DARIS is a human group that until recently, had shut off the suburd of shearbank. Latest news shows they have mostly fallen to a huge horde of zombies that invaded. Theer isa forum to post survivor organisations on the backup form at :

A friend of mine is recruiting for a zombie horde, if any of you dead guys are looking for a group to hunt alongside - he's put some effort into it and it's looking like a success thus far, so now is a great time to join the armies of the night. Here's a little propaganda from their site:
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-9/1080481/MOTA2.jpg

I play primarily my human survivor, but there's been a shortage of zombies lately. Life in Malton is supposed to be dangerous and terrifying, not routine patrols of safe city blocks.

If you're tired of being hunted down alone like an animal, it's time to join up with some undead friends...
Contact Apocalypselord through the forum at http://apocalypselord.proboards49.com or respond to the recruitment ad at the new UD Forums: http://zombies.desensitised.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=87
All skill levels, all former professions welcome - just be dead and willing to travel in a pack.

One thing I worry about is the news item about people who have been revivified having some sort of virus. My first character died his first night, and I did not go in there much, but my second has lasted a bit longer (finally figured out hanging out in a Police Station was not such a good idea). Just got the first guy back, and he may be gone.. oh well, I guess then I will use him as a zombie character.

Something pestilential is spreading and mutating in the blood and guts of the undead - NecroTech DNA scans are beginning to pick up a number of specimens who are host to an unknown pathogen. Any survivors who suffer an Infectious Bite should seek immediate medical attention.

Sorry, not exactly revivified, but if you receive an infectious bite. Cannot recall if I received on or not though on that character, :D

Xenomrph

09-26-2005, 07:04 PM

Oh, you'd know. ;) If you get bitten, every AP you spend makes you lose one HP until:
1. you die
2. you get healed with a first aid kit

STATUS REPORT: im still alive and happy to say that the area im in is mostly cleared of zombies, if you can get to pimbank it seems (from what i can see) that its very safe. many survivors few zombies, and i think the tynte mall is now safe again too, but i cant be sure because i dont want to move then get the ip address acessed to many times thing (thats what got me killed in the first place). so if you can make it get to pimbank A.S.A.P

I just started a new character a few days ago, and I'm already sick of that site. Not the game, but the site itself. I've only been able to get on it twice in 5 days.

I got a guy in Pimbank. As far as i know tynt mall is clear of Z's but Applegate PD just got attaked, we drove them back and i think the rest of pimbank and roftwood is clear of any real threats.

Something BIG going on in Roachtown, must be over 100 zombies there. I have heard they are gathering a massive horde to attack some strong hold.

If all else fails for you, Come to Lockettside. The people at Tompson Mall know what they are doing. Just to test, I had my guy spend the night outside of the mall. Never once have I been attacked :) (Don't try this around Shearbank! :doh: )

Mr Revolution

10-20-2005, 08:25 PM

Over 300 Z's just marched into roftwood. All the PDs in the area are down and the mall is under attack. Both my guys are down and waiting for revivication.
