Delaying Zombie Infection

[Beeen]

So here we go.

 

I'm a ZE player and I just don't get why people edge. There are always sometimes people who edged and get infected, and that person who edged will keep on infecting more people due to their stupidity. Anyways, what I'm trying to say is that maybe try to delay the infection for 1-2 seconds. What this is it that if you get infected, humans have a 1-2 second shield barrier before getting infected. Having this will prevent zombies from knifing the humans causing them to lose.

 

Even though this might sound like a dumb idea, but I think that is really good to have since there's always that one person who edges and then getting the team killed. With this plugin or idea, I feel like this would be a good idea for the humans to get a chance to survive if they are close to the human who got edged and infected.

 

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Two ideas for this:

 

1. Teleport the knifed player on top of the zombie that just knifed them.

 

2. Don't allow the knifed player to knife any other humans for 2/3 seconds.

 

Giving all humans shield is too op so I suggest one of the two solutions.

 

 

 

For if it's an actual good idea to implement this, I guess it reduces frustration a bit and a bit of a buff to humans, I see no harm in adding this.

I feel like this problem can easily be avoided by, A. reminding the ignorant and oblivious, and B. having a good team leader. I also think having a plugin that gives surrounding humans shield might get complicated (I.e. multiple humans being infected/stacked shield). This is just a problem you have to learn how to get around as a regular.

Like what I meant as a shield barrier is that humans get immunity for 2-3 seconds so that way they don't get infected by those who edged.

@TheZZL the incompetence of some ZE players is unmatched, you can tell them 20 times to not edge and they wont listen.

Can confirm that the people on ZE can't listen for shit.

For the most part, I don't think we would implement this into our server at all for a few reasons. Like you said Beeen if the humans got knifed and had the 2-3 seconds of immunity that wouldn't really work because you would be getting two lives in a way. The other reason like you said, delaying the infection for 1-2 seconds and giving humans a shield, whos to say that a zombie can't bhop in front of you, wait till your shield is off, and then knife you. As the whole Zombie Escape game mode goes edging, sadly it is just apart of it and we also have a rule against it called inflation.

 

If @Agent Wesker or @Cept For Her wants to add on anything to this feel free.

I might sound dumb, but what is edging in ZE?

Edging is when a human stands in a spot where zombies can knife them easier during a defense.

 

For Instance:

 

Let's say that humans have to defense a crouch hold, where zombies have to crouch under something to get to where the humans are. A human who would be edging in that case would be someone who would be defending inside the crouch spot and not behind it.

No that is a noob edge, where they can be easily shot out after being infected, an actual pro edge would be to basically hug the crouch spot but not actually be in it, in such a way that you can be infected, but not shot out because you are already inside and not crouching
