    nice, woke up this morning with enough ap to shamble over to the northern cemetary in mockridge. I'll probably hang out for a day and let my AP fill back up, but if someone wants to come over and poke me that'd be grand.

    also the OP talks about having secret entrances to mycock? Can you use those without free running?

    Once you're up again (give me time to get some moar apz, at 5 right now, unless someone can get to you before me) you can get into the museum which is VSB. There, we can heal you and you can take shelter till you get free running.

    Our Hospital has like 5 zombies in it, I only had 6 Action point so I gave one zombie 4 shotgun blasts, closed the doors and popped over to the Perriot.

    So I gave Q2019 a go and it seems okay I guess. If we wanted a PA group we'd have to all be zombies due to the atrocious survivor/zombie disparity in the game right now. I don't know why everyone is saying its so crappy.

    Try to get a revive without posting something somewhere and get back to me on that.

    Um you pretty much have to do that in this game too.

    I just gave it a go as well. Quarantine 2019, upon first impression, is much better. Not sure why its "so crappy" either. The revival bit isn't a problem, because it serves a different purpose. Also, you don't even need a revival, if you aren't infected. You can just get up and keep going. If a zed infects you, then you get up as a zombie. IF a scientist converts you back, you're good to go.

    I love how Quarantine 2019 is made to eliminate the zombie spy pking shit that is kind of lame in UD. Also, the zombie/survivor disparity is due to the game design. You can actually win. Zombies are currently losing. Everytime a side wins, server is reset and everyone starts over again - which I actually like.

    AP regenerates much faster, it doesn't cost you a day or two of your time endlessly searching buildings trying to find stuff. It doesn't cost you AP to pick stuff up, inventory management is rather neat.

    Additionally, you can only pick one class, so team work and strategy is an actual game dynamic unlike RAMBOism of UD, whereby you specialize in everything and Arnold your way through.

    I specifically like that zombies can attack power stations and shut down power to every building in a district.

    Eh, Quarantine looks pretty damn neat to me. I'm going to keep playing there before I make any decision to abandon UD, but so far its already won me over at first glance.

    Personally, I think we'd have a lot more fun on Quarantine, just based on the fact that you accumulate 50 AP (called EP in Q2019) every 6 hours, which effectively doubles at least the amount of shit you can do in a day.

    Only thing lacking thus far is MyCock.

    EDIT. Did I mention in-building battle? Man, I'm sold. Some buildings have multiple floors, and you can barricade staircases. Boner.

    I'm really liking what I'm seeing in Quarantine 2019 so far. I decided to give in to the dark side and give the ailing Zombie side a helping hand.

    Once you go brains you don't go back.

    You guys want to make a Q2019 group? If we do, should we bother starting a new thread for the game? I'm for making a zombie in Q2019 (read: I already have) to offset the perverse population imbalance, and to contrast with your UD group.

    honestly I'm kinda leery of playing a game with a population imbalance as big as the one in quarantine.

    650 accounts or something, and 93% of players are survivors? With only 50something zombies running around, good luck being a zombie.

    That's rather my thought. I had planned (and still do!) plan to make a thread for Q2019 tomorrow. This round is almost certainly going to go to the survivors, but that's alright. The point is, who wants to play as a survivor when there's no zombies to fight or struggle against?

    A good sized group of us could at least raise some hell and make them earn their victory. Me, Acratia, and Zen Vulgarity have already gone zombie in Q2019.

    Well you don't start as a particular class, you "buy into it" when you've got the necessary skill points. Smarts and Strongs both seem pretty essential, Fasts less so. Strongs are needed because ruining buildings is crucial, Smarts are needed because they have both the ability to open doors and the highest potential Infection rate. High infection rates are going to be all important if we're going to turn this around to any degree.

    If my character gets turned, I'll join the Green WANG (or whatever we decide to call our zombie horde). Until then, I'll be busting skulls with a sledgehammer.

    If anyone is near the Shuttle Building in mockridge heights. I cleared 2 zombies out of it, got it out of ruined state, and then barricaded it a bit. Unfortunately, I ran out of AP. At lightly barricaded. If someone wouldn't mind running down there and barricading it. Its 3 blocks south east of mycock.

    Right now, high infection rates are critical. With survivors getting more and more scientists with injection skills, conversion rate is an important factor I think. Simply killing survivors won't get the job done, as death is actually fairly easy to overcome in this game.

    I think one of the biggest things Quarantine 2019 has going for it is that unlike Urban Dead, the developers are still doing shit with it. Ideas are being tested and the game is very much capable of seeing change in the near future and beyond.

    I'll try being a zombie in Q2019 if you dudes going to do it

    I would think the best way would be to stick real close together and be Zombie Strike Force. Might be fun if we coordinated ourselves well.

    Also one of you UD people should come poke me in the mockridge cemetary. People keep coming by and raising other zombies, but not me. I'm currently the only zombie at 46-63.

    You really should try to keep them at VSB, as Perriott is the most common entry point for Mycock and Anne General. I almost got stuck out there just now because of it.

    I will bring the 'cades back down to VSB when I have AP again, unless someone else does it first.
