Can someone tell me why my attack hit has gone down to 25% when it was 50% yesterday!!

You aren't biting or alive or anything are you?

JB

Why do you believe it is only 25%?

Note: If you swing at a barricade, your to hit percentage is halved.

From the Wiki:

Both zombies and survivors can attack barricades from inside or outside a building. Zombie bite attacks, knife attacks, attacking with a fuel can, and all firearm attacks are completely ineffective against barricades. When Headbutt is used on barricades, the character's mask is destroyed if one had been worn. The chance of successfully destroying part of a barricade is generally half the hit percentage of the attack used. A notable exception is the Crowbar, for which the hit odds are not halved, giving it a 20% chance of destroying part of a barricade. The crowbar is tied with the Fire Axe as the most efficient survivor weapon for destroying barricades.

A zombie with Death Grip boasts an approximate 25% chance of successfully destroying part of a barricade (the best odds of de-cading in the game.) Successful de-cading changes the building description (if appropriate,) and grants 1 XP if the player is a zombie. Sometimes barricades will "creak" when attempting to destroy them. This does not indicate a weakening of the barricades; only an unsuccessful attempt.

Oh, well now I feel stupid

Thanks guys

JB

No worries, Beast Warrior!

NW corner of the Mall is now at Lightly Barricaded. EDIT: Someone finished the job and opened the doors. Was that Bromsy?

Can anyone post the status of the barricades in the other corners (NE, SE, SW)?

**Azenine**

Right, got the forum up and running. It's still a bit empty, but feel free to sign up and start posting in the Introductions/Off-topic section!

Oh, and I called it the Mitchem Mall Brigade because it's the only name that I could come up with at the time and it reflects the nature of the alliance between the Nurglings and the Tyrant's Legion. If you don't like it, I may be able to change it, but there's no guarantee!

OK, me and JB have been discussing it and have come up with the next target: the Two Towers *heh* (Doddington and Taswell) and Club Quarman just to the south of Mitchem.

This keeps us pushing the momentum and keeps you guys with opportunities to gain XP. So yeah, go ransack the those three buildings (try to focus on one at a time; Quarman's probably the more populated of the three), then please drop back into Mitchem to recover your AP.
These keeps us pushing the front foot, but with bodies inside Mitchem to prevent them retaking it.

However, with this in mind, we also need a few people to volunteer to hang back and finish off the 'cades in Mitchem - PARTICULARLY THE SE 'CADES, FOR THOSE ATTACKING THE THREE BUILDINGS TO FALL BACK TO - so if some people could also stay behind and finish the 'cades, that'd be grand.

Therefore, we can keep the harmans on the back foot and strike out to ruin more of Vinetown and gain xp, and we can secure Mitchem, providing y'all an easy place to fall back to if we de-cade the SE in particular.

Sound good? Have at it guys!

Also, if the Tower's are opened, then anyone that get's syringed can just go into a tower, jump out of a window and stand back up as a Zed again.

Right. As a mod you can probably kick out my earlier registration as I now have two

Yes, I was a bit too fast

**Just Dave**

Oh, and SE is at VSB currently.

**Steve steveson**

Dose the forum have an option for members only reading?

Waiting out side mitchem NE, anyone want some chicken?

**Azenine**

Got some more features for the forum configured.

JD: If you haven't noticed, there's an admin-only area to discuss things between Zed Leaders

Why don't you walk inside? They can hit you inside of a mall. It's just clubs, cinemas, banks, and fort armories that go Dark.

See Wiki: http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Darkness

If you've been hit by nasty needle shamble inside to be eaten and zombified. That way once you wait for enough AP to gloriously resurrect you are already where dirty breathers don't want you to be

JB

ATTENTION:

Shambling Wanderer has entered the building!

Spoiler:

EDIT: He disappeared. Did someone kill him?

I moved over to the SW corner of the Mall since it was unoccupied (while everyone ran to the NE to eat Shambling Wanderer).

The SW corner has no barricades but the doors are secured. I will open them later when I have more AP.

Does anyone know who is playing as Sevatar?

Automatically Appended Next Post:
I destroyed the last little bit of barricades in SE Mitchem Mall and opened the doors. I also opened the doors in the SW corner.

So that should mean that all of Mitchem Mall is now open...

While outside, I saw five zombies and a lot of bodies. Corless Bank is still ruined. Two zombies have started in on Taswell Towers. I didn't look to see who was there.

**Just Dave**

SE is open, so it's go-go attack Quarman and Taswell Towers (then jump back into Mitchem to recover your AP and keep the mall occupied).

If you need a door opening, I can lend a hand.

Edit: Uh... As JB said!

**TheDiscoSpider**

We, uh, need the doors opened

Edit: The barricade is down. We're at Taswell

JB

Doors are open. It appears to be empty.

Club Quarman is probably a better target. The humans tend to occupy the clubs.

**Just Dave**

Are you able to ruin it, JB?

JB

I ransacked it once. I need more AP to finish the job.

I'll stay here until I ruin it, but someone else needs to watch the SW corner of Mitchem that I was guarding.

**Just Dave**

I've jumped in the SW for you then.

CAN PEOPLE TRY TO SPREAD OUT BETWEEN THE NE AND SE CORNERS IN PARTICULAR, AS THESE ARE THE ONES (PARTICULARLY SE) WE NEED TO KEEP RUINED.

**HiveFleetPlastic**

I finished off Shambling Wanderer a while ago. They were very low on health. Sorry I didn't post about it!

JB

No worries HiveFleet! I hope you got a lot of XP out of it. I knew someone had to take him, and I was hoping that it was one of us or one of the Tyrant's Legion. There are a few other zombies in here with us that are not part of either group.

I'm still not sure who Sevatar is and he is using our group name. Anyone know him?

Also, has anyone seen purplefood lately?

**purplefood**

The mall was ruined when I rocked up so I decided it was a better idea to kill survivors and genies in the entry points...
Got 6 before one of them clued into me and shot me to pieces...

Nice killstreak!

We may need badges for that kind of thing.

**purplefood**

I was so close to getting my nuke :(

**azazel the cat**

Yeah, I'll volunteer for the parachute brigade. I've already got Death Grip and a Fire Axe.

So what's today's target?

Club Quarman and then Doddington Towers.

After you've attacked them though, be sure to jump back in the SE corner to regain your AP.

There's also been a private forum created, linked earlier in this thread.
