Graffiti, marking with a purpose.

[McBonkhead 83]

I know pen and paper notes would be abused like crazy. As would a spray can in the hands of most kiddies - But.

 

Assuming that doors will become open -or- close at a server start-up, so you won't know if someones been in there or not; How about letting us put a very simple, neon orange "X" on a door to let us know that it's clear.

 

Then an old, rusty spray can with a limited number of uses would become very, very useful.

Hm would be a nice idea. Marking things.

Graffiti/tagging has already been suggested and isn't much of a suggestion; it'll be abused/ruined by idiots.

Anyway, the idea of tagging houses to indicate they're clear becomes entirely pointless once loot respawning is implemented.

Yeah! I see it as an immersion thing. I don't think in a zombie apocalypse everyone would just close the door behind them, en-mass. The door open or closed shouldn't be an indicator of recent activity, that's just silly.

 

The door open/close option could become a 'spray an "X" option' if you have a spray can in your hands.
