Thriller:
Zombies around you will have a chance of just breaking out into dance, causing them to not gain any distance for 1 turn nor will they attack you if they are close enough.

...Wtf, sad part is I think you were being serious. :p

"Quick Draw"
It doesn't take any time to draw a pistol.

It is fairly reasonable that someone with a steady hand could draw a handgun much faster than anything else AND serves a dual purpose. (Mainly, at the high levels pistols aren't an ideal close combat gun since most things a pistol does a machine gun does quite a bit better IF you have a great marksmanship.)

"Biggest Fan Stan"

Find a car partially submerged in water at the side of a highway and search the tied-up female body locked inside the trunk and search the male driver to recover a casette tape of his last messages.

Quickslots are in the to-do-list already. Wich cost you no battle turns.

Here are some achievements from the hordes of zombies.

Burning Sensation:Win in a battle to any kind of hordes using flammable weapons

"Say Hello to My Little Friend!": Win a battle against any hordes of zombies using an M16A2 rifle (from the movie Scarface)

Omnislash: win a battle against any of the hordes of zombies and finish it using a katana with 10 strikes successfully hit the horde.

that's all

Just getting started Achievement: Die at level 1.
Achievement perk: reduced death penalty

I dont think this is a perk of something, but i dont think this matter have to be in a new 2pic too, so I will straight to the goal:

Jobs.

If zombies have jobs (trucker, policeman, showgirl), why dont survivor have it, too? I prefer a job choice after I'd chosen my avatar in the creation of my character.

Each job has its unique effects, for example:

A Professor will have double smart points (20) to another normal survivor, but halved strength, agility and close combat (5). They may start with some pipe weapons (in there lab ), and near from Hospital, Labs or University (there weak, right?). In addition, he/she will learn faster (5 or 7 hours) in a training of Smart, Technical, but slower in agility and strength training (may be 12 of 15 hours).

A Soldier of Government or A Mercenary Gunner, A Mafia subordinate will start with 20 points of Marksmanship, low on smart and close combat (5), and a breakable rifle of sub machine gun, a poor sniper gun, a limited amount of rounds and a far away from map's center (they are hired or ordered to guard the entrance to the city, right?). They will learn Marksmanship faster but will struggle to learn to fight in close and how to solve complex thing (smart).

While an Athlete, a Boxer, a Street Gangster will have much HP, Close Combat skill, but low on Smart and Marksmanship skill.

A Mechanic, an Engineer will Smarter and good at technical things, but low on Combat, Constitution,..

An office worker or a House wife, etc will be a normal person, normal starting spot, normal stat, normal everything.




Its just examples, we can improve it later to make it balance and more realistic.

Thanks for reading my post.

The Hunter has become the hunted: Fight the psychotic hunter and win

If the hitlist of the clans will be implemented these achievements will be active:

First Blood: finish off 1 target

Bounty Hunter: finish off 100 targets

Hit Survivalist: survive a hit operation

Un"Hit"able: survive 100 hit operations

Easy Target: have not survive a hit operation

Target Dummy: Have not survive 100 hit operations


This is all I got...

What about a perk for close combat that gives you 50% chance of landing two hits in one turn, a 25% chance of landing three, 12.5% for landing four and so on. Every multiple hit will decrease by half.

Or a cannibal perk that allows you the consume human flesh of survivors who need rescuing for some HP.

Or a thief perk. It allows you to loot survivors who need rescuing. I can see the raiders NPC using this against players.

Or how about we get perks first, then we make suggestions for them? <_>

I was thinking about perks and thought that maybe an exp bonus for damage after a zombie is killed so i shoot a zombie on 1 health with 18 damage i get a 17 exp bonus but it if you don't want exp bonuses it could just as easily work as an achievement and it could be called
The Deader The Better - Do 16 Damage (maybe 20 something reachable with a gun) After 0 Health
you could also do something like
Getting Rid Of The Body - Do 40 Damage ( something reachable with an explosive weapon) After 0 Health

Could you more adequately explain what you mean?
I'm reading your post, and I can't make much sense of it...doing more damage to an already re-dead enemy?

An idea for a perk:
Hard head: a X% chance (depends on close combat skill) to perform an headbutt when equipping a helmet (like the football helmet) for 5 damage.

Some ideas for achievments:
Samaritan: Heal over 100 players.
Scavenger: scavenge 100 items.
Money honey: sell over 100 items.
Mess with the best die like the rest!: kill 1000 zombies.
Anarchist: kill 100 zombies policeman types, military types (in total)
Sharp as hell: kill 100 zombies with edged weapons.
Hammer time!: kill 100 zombies with blunt weapons.

And.. I have many more but kinda looks like a lot , and maybe the names should be better, but who knows. Thats are my ideas

Sounds GREAT to me!!! Also someone can imagine how much stats are worth when they see a rocket scientist zombie e.g.

I think the former-jobs, if there would be a option to select, could open up a ton of new creative material from the community, like perks and achievments for future play.

I did a proposal Link: here and Link: here and when I was writing that I shortly thought like you spoke out .... so maybe if the ZP-Team is taking a short or maybe even longer moment to think about that circle of player2zombie-transformation.
