RIP Wall

[GSC]

If it would be something like the "memorial wall" in the current X-Com game I give it a +1

 

 

"Forgotten Six survived 4 days and 2 hours. Died from food poisoning."

When you see rotten food, think MC Hammer... :cool:

 

But where do I get those strange looking pants!?

Close enough

[TinnedEpic]

I like it . Table pants ftw!

 

Perhaps refining the idea it could looks something like this?

Journal Entries:

Day 1: Ran half way across the town just to get to the Pile'o'crepes. Hopefully I can wall it off and live there. I found this book and thought i should begin writing in case something happens. I've taken up refugee in a house close by to the Pile'o'crepes, I'll clear zombies out and move in once I've finished barricading everything.

 

Day 3: went to investigate the pile'o'crepes and discovered and enormous horde. I was luckily able to escape and even more move them away from the shopping district. Things are looking up, I might be able to actually pull this off.

 

Day 4: Damn it! gunshot lured the zombies right through my safehouse. I was barely able to make it out alive. Right now about 20 zombies stand between me and all my suppies. I am currently hiding in the pile'o'crepes but realize I can't stay here for long. With no where to sleep I will eventually pass out. I need to find somewhere to sleep, perhaps one of the other stores will have chairs I can sleep in, I can only hope.

This kind of setup doesn't limit your game to a single score, it does however give you details on how you lived. While one person might have survived 4 years 34 days and 20 hours another might have walked 1768 miles and another might have killed 2375 zombies and 500 survivors. one might have befriended all the NPCs and owned a fort having a miniature society in the middle of zombie territory, over 500 structures built (individual walls etc).

 

Point is there is no winner or better player because each character will have their strong and weak points. things they did better and things they did worse. This system is meant to reflect that as a wall to remember characters, instead of judging them.

[RegularX]

From my last run I also figured it would be nice to have a screenshot (or screenshots) to tell the "story" of the game.  Did you die while fighting a horde or alone in a kitchen?

[unsaved_progress]

+8

 

I really like this idea. Not as a scoreboard no no no. But definitely as some sort of memorial. A graveyard. And yeah, it should just be a menu option not like a physical graveyard you could go visit because that would make little sense...

 

aaaaannyway...unlikely that they'll add it but I think you become very attached to each character and it would be a great way to remember them, how they lived, how they died etc. 

 

Also, this>

The thread! It lives... It liiiiiiiives! Hahahahahahaha!

OH GOD IT'S EATING ME!

[unsaved_progress]

Lol whoops didn't mean to bump Should've checked last post date...err....

 

As you can tell, I'm new around these here parts. Systematically making my way through the forum (and damning my allotted number of 'likes' per day!)

 

I'll try not to reanimate any more corpses

Simon Loosebottom, survived 7 days and 10 hours.

Saw rotten food and got so distracted by thinking of MC Hammer and singing "can't touch this" in his head, that he got eaten alive.

Last words: 'duuuh duh di duh, can't touch aaaargh'

this would be amazing

xD

 

I just think this Journal could become very large when u survive a good time (1 year, 2 years, 3 years)

[tosayu]

I was thinking of suggesting a gravestone type thingy into the game to help remember how long people have survived, and I found this thread on my search before I created a new topic.

 

I want to add my two cents. It would definitely be appreciated on the multiplayer server to be able to view stats of who lived the longest and possibly how they died. i am thinking of accessing it by clicking on a gravestone, or maybe a menu item in options you can open at will.

It would give tangible bragging rights to the players on servers.

 

[Eblanc]

Other people might want a number tally, though I think the devs have spoken against adding any kind of kill counter to the game.  I'll go look.

 There is already a killcounter in, for zeds and survivors -.-

 

 

I don't really understand the "fear of people playing the game just for score and don't understand how to play the game really". I think, different people are differently motivated to play a game. So, under this circumstance, you wouldn't win scorehunters as possible customers?

Beside this, isn't the ultimate goal, to survive long as possible in this game?

 

Edit: Lol

 

There really is no fear, just nuisance when people use cheap/safe tactics and find exploits in the game and then they just brag about it. I can already see players taking the light eater trait, and just finding a specific spot on the map and just camping there for points.

 

I don't know the direction this thread is going to, seems like everybody has a different idea. so I'm going to throw my 2 cents.

 

 

 

 

I think that at the end when you die, should display

 

1. how long you surived

2. how many zombies you killed

3. what it is you died from

 

4. maybe put this information above and under the center, so that you could take a screenshot of the corpse and its surroundings if you wanted to. THEN you can brag to your friends about how epic was your last stand.

 

I'm not hot about the memorial, but not against it either.
