I understand where you're coming from, however, how are unlimited trait points "relevant" to the game?

I'm just gonna butt in here and give my two cents. Brandon, you keep saying that sandbox is a "do whatever you want mode". But I, and I think a lot people would, disagree with that view. Sandbox isn't a do whatever you want mode, by that logic the devs would implement a my little pony mod as an option to sandbox mode. Sandbox mode is to change the game to accommodate zombie lore that conflicts with the base lore. However, this still fits in with the devs base idea for the the game. A "limitless" trait that allows all positive traits to be applied has no place in the base game and in no way fits in with the base lore. As a mod, I see absolutely no problem with it, as with a MLP, to each their own. But other than that, it goes completely against the game itself. As for your "no zombies" argument. That feature is more a testing option, for scoping out map locations and bug testing without having to deal with fighting off zombies at the same time. I can't see the no zombies option being implemented into the final game; and if it is then, your argument will be valid. But until then, its just a bug squashing mode.

That's the mark this forum read which is what the OP said they didn't want.

Er. There is one? It's at the bottom of the page? "Mark Community Read". I'll put a pic up in a sec.

What controller are you using?

I like the weapon suggestions in the OP, but they'd need to be extremely rare because lets face it, what's the first thing people are going to grab when something like a zombie apocalypse strikes? Weapons. As for katanas, I'm fairly sure this was discussed in depth on the old forums. The only katanas that most people have are replicas that would shatter or snap if used in any way other than aesthetics.

I like this idea, but in your description, I think that disadvantages outweigh the advantages to be honest. If that was the case I don't think I'd be selecting family members most games I start. It might be nice as a once or twice thing but I think there'd have to be more advantages to it or less disadvantages for it to be an every game type implementation for me.

Just to clarify, by the latest version of PZ, you mean 2.9.9.10, right? Could you check that your GFX card has the latest update by either manually updating here (http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us) or automatically checking and updating here (http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Scan.aspx). Then report back.

I think XP would be a welcome addition to this mod. The first few pick attempts should be pretty much guaranteed to fail (perhaps even having a chance of breaking the screwdriver in the process) and work on from there slowly but surely gaining the ability to pick.

Great mod. Hopefully one that'll get implemented permanently. NPC's could mark houses and that and yeah. Endless possibilities.

Great idea! I'll try it out in a bit.

This may.. have gotten out of hand..

Nope waffles are pancakes that have mutated to something just wrong. Pancakes are the best thing ever. Id like to see you roll your waffle up into a nice edible handheld.. roll? Whatever pancakes are the shit.

Really? Knives? Why?

I'll PM you what I've got so far.

You can do it if you want Kajin, it was your idea after all. I don't really mind. Edit: Also 'gratz on 500 posts Rath ha

I'm up for that. I'll make the thread now and update it once or twice a day with suggestions I see that are new and widely accepted and suggestions that are PM'd to me or something like that?

Nothing like swimming in some fetid water that may or may not have a floating corpse in it...

Yeah another +1 for this. Even just for grass showing up through wooden floors. Aesthetically that sucks. I don't know about secondary uses for grass, however. I suppose if it's dried out it'd make a great firestarter.

I think basements are a great idea. Great place to hide, great place to store items that you don't need frequently (rather than storing them in what I'm assuming is supposed to be a closet in most houses). Also offers a way to introduce a new game mechanic, flooding anyone?

Yeah I think this isn't a crazy suggestion. Like GSC said though, probably more than likely going to be added as a mod rather than implemented immediately to be honest. I think if done right and made scarce enough, it's not unreasonable. I don't think that if they are implemented though that they should be found at somewhere like Walmart or any supermarket like that that sells guns because that's going to be one of the first things that's raided lets be honest.

I don't think there's been anything officially said on it yet; and I couldn't find anything in my quick search of the old forums. I think it's a good idea as it does add an element of realism, it'd also mean sun cream and that'd have to be introduced. However, that would add a whole element of skin color playing a role in character creation because darker skin means a higher natural SPF protection. Soo.. I can see it more as a mod or a very far away implementation when the devs have enough free time to discuss the implications of things such as this which aren't.. that.. important. As for skin cancer, I distinctly remember one of the devs saying cancer was a no (in relation to cigarettes), so I can't imagine that being a possibility in all honesty.

Just one thing.. Deadmeat? The usernames of peoples are above there titles. So the people you called "Newbie", "Advanced Member", ""The Expert"" and "KFG"'s usernames are all above those. Just like my username is actually Kevlar_29 as you can see above my title "Took a Bullet to the Vest". Although you did get MrZombiefiedGamer's username right.. anyway. Just a heads up.

Before we try to help we need you to help us. First of all, post your full computer specs and software versions. i.e. Hardware, OS, Java Ver., PZ Ver. All that stuff. Secondly, could you describe the lag more clearly? Does it only occur when you do certain things or certain things happen? Or is it a continuous lag? Given that you have a decent graphics card, I'm assuming that you have a decent set up on top of that so I'm sure we'll get this sorted and get the game running properly for you in no time.,

I don't like the dynamite idea personally because I don't think dynamite would be found commonly. But, I do like the fact that 99% of the time something would go wrong. That'd make it all the more realistic and would be a benefit rather than a hindrance in my opinion. I do like the alarm clock idea a lot though.
