Urban Dead - Online Game

faceman · 23-05-2008 10:37am #1

thought some of you might enjoy this.

www.urbandead.com

Its a very low tech text based web game where you can be a zombie or human.

My username is The Faceman101

c - 13 · 23-05-2008 11:31am

I've played it a couple of times but I find nothing much seems to happen, I cant find any items, most buildings are barricaded up and I find it very hard to get ahit on a zombie. I look in on it every so often when i'm bored. Cant remember if my username is c - 13 or c_13 ?

EDIT - Just logged in again there this morning, turns out my username is c13

Its takes a while to become used to it. I was lucky in i got into an active safe house and someone showed me the ropes. Im at level 25 at the mo, maxed out human abilities.

Thats an awesome game. Was taking my time with it until I copped that I have to get to Union City before the days run out. Made it though. Good game

Just signed up. Username: Deise and I'm a Medic.
I'll only have time to take a proper look later on.

Sod'o swords · 26-05-2008 6:38pm

Yeah just finished last stand two there myself, dam that guy's gun with all weapons! Also survivors are pussies! Just because the barricade broke it's no reason to run away!

Roen · 26-05-2008 7:14pm

Enjoying it so far, but I used all my AP a bit quickly. Still though, managed to find a bottle of wine and get tipsy!

More than i found, I think I found a fuel can once and that was it. Nothing after.

Joined up, names zero69r...Interesting game indeed

Roen · 26-05-2008 8:26pm

Wooo, found a mobile phone now. Must resist the temptation to 'drink and dial'.

Nerin · 26-05-2008 8:58pm

im really getting into the last stand 2.

im using the composite bow and the chainsaw, my two survivors are using a handgun and hunting rifle. 1 town away from safety. woo

Roen · 26-05-2008 9:55pm

Anyone fancy creating a boards.ie group in the Urban Dead? I was going to but I doubt if I'd have the time to commit to admining it. I'm not even sure what's involved.

bombidol · 26-05-2008 11:35pm

good game but once you get all the skills it gets crazy boring

Somnus · 27-05-2008 10:06am

Just signed up for Urban Dead. I'm a scout username is Ciaran Murphy

A boards group would be cool... Dont know how often I'd go on it though.Only just started

c - 13 · 27-05-2008 10:12am

Right I'm just wondering what sort of system they have running for the attacking system on this game ?

Every day until now i'm lucky if I hit 1 in 5 times when I try to attack something, once I even wasted nearly all my AP attacking something something and didn't hit it once.

This morning I log in and every time I attack something I always hit it ? (Might miss 1 in 4 times). I play as 2 chars, a Zom and a human. It as the same for both of them this morning ?

Neither of them has any increased skills or raised EXP to be worth mentioning, so is there certain times of the day are better to play to increase attack chances or what ?

Nerin · 27-05-2008 10:14am

i signed up last night, didnt find anything, used all my action points to fight a zombie. came back this morning and im dead, well undead. nyahh.
*goes to reset account*....or is it worth it?

c - 13 · 27-05-2008 10:19am

Well your supposed to hide in a building at night so wandering Zombies cant find you. They cant get into barricaded buildings unless they smach down the barricades first.

As far as I know you have two options -
Play as the zom and attack other zoms, humans and barricades to raise exp (I'm trying this approach with one character, bit boring)

Alternatively, theres scientists who can revive you to human form. No idea where you'd find them though ?

You could always just set up a second char and play human/zombie like i'm doing.

im nerinm at the moment, although that could soon change, im asleep in some hotel

faceman · 27-05-2008 11:22am

My advice is as follows if playing as human:

* Google urban dead map so you know where everything is.
* Find a police station for sleeping in.
* keep searching the police station for weapons
* go out and fight zombies when you have plenty of ammo and AP
* in your early stages concentrate on upskilling your fighting skills as it will help you get AP easier.

Ive maxed out my human skills so im just building up XP so i can become a zombie and start upskilling a zombie skill.

Ive been playing the game for months. It takes time to build yourself up.

(stupid question probably)
i thought logically police stations would be where i could find weapons, but theyre all freakin barricaded. how does one enter them

c - 13 · 27-05-2008 11:34am

I was looking at this earlier, their wiki suggests you get the "Free Running" skill as soon as you have enough EXP points. This lets you move between all buildings without going outside regardless of how heavily barricaded. This is what i'll be going for !

I'm currently hiding in a NecroTech Building, I believe they're the most likely buildings to get attacked though

EDIT - http://map.aypok.co.uk/index.php
A pretty good map, I had no idea the map was so bloody big !

Nerin · 27-05-2008 11:40am

a zombie just spoke to me!!!1!!
it said: ?
then: mr h ?

:eek: this is indeed a troubling universe

irish_boy90 · 27-05-2008 7:31pm

yeah its fun enough.
here is the map
http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Suburb
Got a human in Wykewood
had a nice police station to stay in (had like 20 others)
but the cades are too haigh for me to get in so I am staying in the buildings near it untill I get free running (50 exp so maybe 2 days)

got a zombie up in Dakerstown too, joined the group Extinction, the zombie side seems more fun (everyone running around Dakerstown trying to kill every human they can

if your a zombie you need to get revived (turned into a human)
from the wiki (looked this up myself on the wiki)

you need to find a NT (necro tech)
and say the zombie question the them to show you wish to be turned "mrh?" (i think)

so find and NT or wait in a cemetry.

c - 13 · 28-05-2008 6:19am

I think I'm starting to get the hang of this to be honest. I'm currently holed up in a hospital, got a couple of first aid kits, couple of syringes, about half enough EXP to get me free running.

Just to updates as well -
Zombie: ac13
Human: adamc13

Turns out c13 was an old, old char that i'd used ages ago. Dont know how i even remembered the password to be honest.

Playing as a human is way more interesting than playing as a zombie too.

i havent found anything, im holed up with a loada people in Lamport Walk Police Dept. in Gatcombeton.

nyah.

edit- Nerin is alive!!! someone found my zombie self and revived it. im free!!!

im in a crowded Burden Road Fire Station in Osmondville

c - 13 · 28-05-2008 6:58am

Ha, mine is still a zombie, I got blasted out of it by a zombie hunter with a shotgun while I was logged off.

If you keep searching the police department you should turn up some guns eventually I think.

I'm in Julie General Hospital in Wyke Hills to be precise. I'm tearing it apart for first aid kits.

its driving me nuts not finding anything.

edit- haha we're only three squares away from eachother.

c - 13 · 28-05-2008 7:05am

Yeah tell me about it. What class of human you are actually might determine what sort of stuff you find too. I'm using a fire fighter.

Not according to the route finder here ?
http://map.aypok.co.uk/index.php?menu=route
Throw in my location and your location and it shows the number of actual squares between where we both are

Oh wait you mean three suburbs !

military private

doesnt seem a great choice

faceman · 28-05-2008 2:10pm

Im in buttonville at the mo, ranson police department. I have about 10 pistols and 4 shotguns

Roen · 28-05-2008 5:13pm

I've found about six bottles of beer and no end of wine and mobile phones.
About as much use as tits on a man so far

I'm up in West Boundwood, right at the border of the map. Going to try make it down south for a bit.

Cravez · 28-05-2008 5:34pm

I joined up a few days ago. Characters name is Cravez and am a Medic so add me if you guys find me

. Currently in the Knapp Boulevard Police Dept.

Sod'o swords · 28-05-2008 5:58pm

Sod IRE wandering williamsville as a scientist guy.

c - 13 · 30-05-2008 1:08pm

Starting to pick up a bit now, i'm after laying hands on a shotgun and shells, pistol and spare clips, flare guns, syringes and about 6 first aid kits.

faceman · 30-05-2008 2:58pm

be warned humans, from my experience of playing for a few months now, the zombies tend to attack in waves. They are currently in a regroup phase now after the last assault so its fairly quiet. Now is the time to upskill!

For anyone who makes there way to buttonville, there is a revive point there if you get turned into a zombie. PLus i have a revive syringe too which will unzombie someone.

As usual im kipping at ranson police station in buttonville.

Kiith · 30-05-2008 3:24pm

I started up there, and managed to miss a zombie with about 10 shots....stupid cop. Wait till he's closer and put one in his brain already!

Roen · 30-05-2008 3:46pm

Well I'm in Brooksville now with a grand total of 2 XP after a week of playing!

I can't find any first aid kits or clips for the pistol so I can't attack anything or heal people to get more XP. I have a feeling I'm in this for the long haul!

Hah ! I only realised i'm in the same building as you this second
/Waves

Added you to my contact list by the way. Ill try get all the boardsies on it.

Sod'o swords · 30-05-2008 5:54pm

What's inside the extremely heavily barricaded buildings???
If you got in, how, did you attack the barricades for ages or is there an other way?

c - 13 · 30-05-2008 6:20pm

If you get enough experience to buy the free running skill you can enter any type of barricaded building (and move directly between buildings - saves 1AP per move). Theres nothing really different in them, just harder for the zombies to break into them is all.

people are inside and they barricaded them to keep zombies out.
You get 75 exp from zombies and then buy free running.
Have it and its very handy. Esp when you use this map.
http://map.aypok.co.uk/index.php?menu=goto
shows you the running lanes (you can figure them out yourself but the map is good for finding your way around.

I guess I will head over to buttonville to hang out with the rest of the boards survivors, we should work together.

Game seems to be sided towards the survivors more then the zombies though.

Roen · 31-05-2008 4:31pm

This one looks like it could have plenty of promise. Probably not going to be free though.

I've been looking forward to left4dead for ages. It looks like a fantastic co-op experience. And it definitly wont be free.

irish_boy90 · 31-05-2008 6:54pm

play counter strike source zombie mod then.
valve made left4dead because of how popular zombie mod was.

From what I have seen Left for dead will be a must have.

on my way to ranson police dept now. Should be there tomorrow.

I'm going to sticky this. Seems like an interesting game.
