The whole thing with doors is that they can keep you safe from low level roaming zombies (of which there are none), and can also annoy the hell out of everyone by running around town and closing all the doors. Which is hilarious and I don't think the cost should be removed.

Neither of those are solid reasons for the AP cost being in place. You're saying it should because of something that is very unlikely, and because you find it funny.

Breakers can allow you to find hiding vamps without spending a possible 2 or 3 ap. Being able to find them without spending ANY ap would be stupid. And you know how much I hate vampires and want to make their lives miserable.

You have to spend AP to find the building the vampire is in. That is finding the vampire, and you only stumble upon them like that out of blind luck most of the time. The AP cost for the breakers just doesn't seem warranted on the spectrum.

Can you make it so you get zerg locked if you revive your alt, that'd REALLY help.

That doesn't lock you? Shit, I waited 3 days to get my stupid alt revived.

I agree; reviving your alt should count.

Well there's also this one guy named sigfried who whenever he dies makes an alt to revive himself. One time I killed him 5 times in one day and not even 5 minutes later he's back to human

Yeah... to my understanding, the point of the anti-alt-abuse system is to prevent people using alts from having an advantage over people that don't.

That certainly counts.

Yeah he uses all his alts to tk me and my group and he put all his alts into a group he made so we get locked if we attack him with an alt. And he's 2 blocks west of where you healed me too...

seems like pretty damning evidence

Also attacking a group with two different characters shouldn't be lockable. It's really stupid and I don't see the reasoning behind it.

[Zman090]

And there seems to be a glitch on it, I got locked for attacking a group that only had one person in it whom I had never seen. And if it was one person wouldn't I get locked for attacking that one person rather than the entire group?

Great, I guess I'll have to look into and try to understand all this locking business.

The most I ever did to prevent alt abuse was to make it so attacking or healing someone with the same IP gives no XP.

Why you people gotta be such cheaters, huh?!

[Zman090]

Sorry mammon  but this guy has been at it for a while and he's killing the game for me.

I suggested this a while back on the old forum: Allied chat.

A new chat button [Ally] that sends a message to other group members whose group is mutually allied with yours.

Currently, trying to communicate with your allies is a pain.

Well, whenever Mo sees my email you guys should have a quick update for getting locked for alt-rezzing, adding serum to the ammo filter, and fixing the footer that I didn't know I broke on most pages, oops.

I'll have to look into that bug with groups you were talking about, though. I'm also crossing my fingers and hoping the locking thing I did works because, I admit, all I did was copy and paste the code for the healing one.

That's how I get most things done in Python.

Had an idea about some possible item bonuses pop into my head.

There are items that give a chance to deflect damage (based on severity of attack).
There are items (or at least 1) that gives a bonus to attacks with your fists.
What if some other items gave bonuses as well?

Like for example if the EMT Jacket gave people a +1 or +2 to healing if they're wearing it.
Or the firefighter uniform giving an extra point or two of protection against fire (now that its an issue).
Possibly the Biohazard suit offering extra protection or a chance to deflect zombie spew and splatter?

Just a few thoughts.  I'm sure other people could come up with other ideas too.

[Týr]

They would have to make sense.

Firefighter suit curbing fire damage = √
Biohazard suit curbing infection damage = √ (though I don't particularly agree with this one of the sake of balance. It's meant to be the bane of vampires)
EMT Jacket suddenly making you better at healing = X
