since zeros making an new intermittent fast class called bones designed specifically for escape maps, what about just going back to basics with zmod and remove all of the additions to it and play it like we used to without any of this stuff?
Yes
No
useless indiferent answer.

Ibis Steam Contest #2
Canceled till further notice
I read people's post purely for amusement I find people's frustration and failure quite funny... after all it's all just a game... you'll die early if you take it too seriously. ^^
Arrogance - only fags and assholes have them... You know who you are.
I say yes to everything EXCEPT parachutes.
Because when I want to jump off a building in a feeble attempt to excape from zombies, I want to be able to glide, and not go SPLAT.
That’s the funny thing about trolls: They love to do something horrible, then accuse you of doing something horrible when you call them on it.
I actually played in the IBIS zm server yesterday n the day before that. I had often played in the IBIS WCS server and the rankings on there caused a lot of problematic issues among IBIS members as well as other players (Eg. I currently rank #1 in the WCS and the process of me getting there was ridden with f'ed up problems like jealousy and accusation)
So anyway, when i was in the zombie server the other day I noticed the ranks on it too. What i also saw were people complaining about sooo much more crap than other servers (I assume it is because when you die, your score is permanently recorded, therefore people are more "worried"[can't find right word] about their scores/deaths/kills) Rankings make the gameplay and gaming environment more serious.
So that is why I think you should remove the ranks. However, I think the addition of parachutes, zm vision, fast zombies, differnet zombie classes are awesome and they improve gameplay.
Just my 2 cents
But we do have an issue with making people change their classes FROM fast zombies to anything else on escape maps.
It's not fair to the humans at all when they're on an escape map and there's a fast zombie.
Most definitely get rid of the fast zombie.
they've been a big problem for a long time.

I guess it could be an issue with some people. But I have played in other zombie servers that have fast zombies allowed with escape maps, although it is harder, I have seen enough times 4-5 humans finishing the escape. It is very possible.
I agree to this great compromise. Use the the same type of system in WCS server (where some races have a certain maximum # allowed at one time)

of course there would be other classes, I mean by going back to classic as going back to what it was like a year ago when I first found this place.
No parachutes or annoying zombie vision although with some sort of flash to grab the attention of the hopeless humans as it is now and a notificiation on screen for that particular person telling them there the zombie in big flashing lights or something isntead of the blinding zm vision.
and dont get me wrong I like the new deformed, which was introduced a few months after I found this place, I oughta put up another poll about getting the old zmod theme back and a new proposed vote about what weapons are allowed in crawl spaces though.
by the way when you get killled and I mean killed as you are dead and siting in specatate it removes a considerible amount of points from your score if you havent been killing zombies or humans as a zombie.
It's not the rankings that make it more serious, it's the need for cooperation. In WCS, GG and Pub, you still play fairly independent with some cooperation to win. But in ZM, cooperation is often a necessity.
I'm all for removing rank for other reasons, but it's not the cause of the tension on the server most of the time.
I don't have an issue with fast zombies on escape maps, but I do have issue with their ability to avoid knockback by straft running (holding W and A/S while angling with mouse). It's this that really dooms most people on escape maps.
I also like parachutes. I think it adds something to the gameplay, albeit too much on some maps like rooftop escape. Are there variables in the parachute mod you can change?
