Zombification Discussion Thread

My vote was for Announcer, I think it should be Demonic Announcer specifically. I guess that would cover up the nice gif though.

[mrnobodyepic]

The last one should absolutely be "Demonic Announcer". I mean, the Demonic Announcer directly controls all the Zombies and the 115. He is the Zombie God. No need to insert "Onnipotent", or "Zombie God", the Demonic Announcer is already that (and sounds cooler).

Thanks for the feedback, friends.

 

 

I think Announcer will be our best bet here.

[ThrowAmonkeyBomb]

Announcer Definitely.Really digging this guys, great system.

Glad to see improvements to this wonderful forum.

[GRILL]

I like it. Announcer.

So this is all set then? If so, we'll have Craig do the final implementation - and we will be good to go!

[MysteryMachineX]

Just whatever you do, don't pull a CoD Wiki and call it "Demonic".

[ETEl2NAL407]

Will the progression be added to OP (is it already, sorry didn't check)?

 

From what I recall the progression was heavily aimed at newer users, whereas the more seasoned users have much larger gaps in between new userbars. Couldn't we make it a little more even?

[InfestLithium]

That's how a typical ranking system related to posts originally work, Eternal. We could add several more ranks in between said gaps to give our CoDz veterans several titles to achieve, but the point is all about objective: the more posts you have, the harder it is to achieve a heavier title thus you really have to put your best posting hands in the pot.

 

Updated: All ranks have been presented a title. "Cosmonaut" has been renamed to "Astro Zombie" and the Final Rank has been given the "Announcer" title.

[Slade]

@Eternal it's a progressive system. As your rank increases, so does the # of posts required to advance.

@Tac I like your list, but for right now I think having the final rank at 5000+ with 15 ranks in total is enough.

No one has passed 10 000+ posts as of yet and with this being the off-season I don't see that happening anytime soon.

I can definitely see this getting an overhaul when it's Treyarch's turn again though.

Thanks for the feedback, friends.

Slade, do you have a moving announcer userbar? I see there is a blank slate one, but not with the name "announcer" in it.

Let me know, and I will have Craig implement.

[Slade]

Yeah, I posted it a few days ago.. It's now also in the OP.

Craig already implemented it, you can see it under MMX's name for instance. All we're missing is the Brutus one.

Thanks for your concern.

[GRILL]

oh my bad!  I was on my tablet, and for some reason it wouldn't display those.

 

Okay so, we need a Brutus one.  and then on top of that, we need to match the correct post counts to the correct userbars.  For instance, I should be Pentagon Thief according to the OP.

[Slade]

No problem. 

I'll get to work on the Brutus one and once it's finished, I'll sent the tier list to Craig so he can make the necessary adjustments.

Understandable. My only concern is that as the final tier, I felt it should be something that's difficult to obtain and that only a few will get, even if the site is online for years to come. Some members have it, some are coming up on it, and obviously, the more that people have it, the less prestigious it is. I think that it's not unreasonable to think that before we know it, more people will be Zombie God and it's just another title. That's why I suggested 10,000, because it would be truly special and equally as rare. While it may not be happening anytime soon, I believe now would be a better time than any to implement it, as we're already going through this process of implementation.

[GRILL]

Yeah, I mean we could always add heros after the enemies, for the higher rank counts. It can be an ongoing discussion, but I think we should implement what we have and then work from there - in the interest of moving on to other projects.

[ThrowAmonkeyBomb]

Why not make 5000 zombies god and 10000 announcer?

[Slade]

@Tac

I hear you.

Don't know if this is plausible, but we could have the final rank require not only a high amount of total posts, but also a minimal X number of brains supplied to that person before the rank becomes 'unlocked'.

 

@TAMB

Announcer is just an alias we chose for Zombie God.

We can always change things around after the foundation is fully completed and implemented.

I'm always open to new ideas.

 

Also I've made countless Zombification Bars that I've never uploaded.

I might post them in the OP under concept/scrapped ideas.

I have an idea.What if it went zombies god (announcer) then at the next indicator zombies god(maxis) then richtofen and finally samantha?get rid of the tallies and perk bottles?

[GRILL]

@tamb: We scrapped the tallies/perk bottles in general. We already have a post count #, and that should be fine for now. I think what's most important is to go with what we have, and then keep an ongoing discussion on how we can add and better it.

@slade: I actually think making brains a requirement for the final few tiers is super smart. Let me mull over that and I'll get back to you.

[Slade]

@TAMB

We've avoided putting Maxis, Richtofen and Samantha in the ranks because we wanted the final rank to be more special and personal oriented to the person who earned it.

Once you get 5000 posts, you are the Announcer. Not Richtofen, or Maxis.

 

@GRILL

Awesome! 

[ThrowAmonkeyBomb]

Alright.Then why are there still the perk bottles and tallies as eventual ranks?

Someone needs to finalize this an move on, remember that there is a list available for viewing on EVERY members sidebar.

[Slade]

I assure you, we are.

It just takes time, we can't do everything at once.

 

The tallies and bottles were just for testing purposes.

They haven't been removed yet, they will shortly.

[ThrowAmonkeyBomb]

Alright.What about shields?Why are there two different zombie gods?

All this discussion we will both be zombie gods by the time its finalizedxD

TAMB!!!  no perk bottles, no tallies, no shields - we scrapped the whole idea.

 

Zombie God = Announcer.  There were multiples because we were deciding on what the most appropriate name was.

 

DAMMIT MAN we are trying to finalize this - please read all 7 pages before asking questions, most of your answers will be there.

[Slade]

Same thing. They're just prototypes and placeholders.

 

They're not even worth discussing about, as they'll be removed before you know it without warning.

So let's leave it at that.
