11tw 106 Posted July 3, 2014 Right now the avatar seems to suck at navigating high up places. I suggest that the ability to jump short distances should be added, for example jumping from one building's roof to another. Longer gaps could be traversed using makeshift bridges, made out of things like metal sheets and planks (which are commonly left lying around on roof tops I have been led to believe by video games). Players should be able to give eachother help when climbing from ground level to first floor rooves. One player should be able to give the other a boost to get up, and the other should be able to reach down and help pull the other up. Drain pipes, tips (or dumpsters), crashed cars etc. could be used to climb up to certain rooves. This would make the game more exciting, and make escaping zeds more doable (this would tie in well with over-powered zeds, as monsters which are harder to kill so you have to escape them seem to be a staple of survival games (see amnesia)). Any ideas on other ways players could navigate roof tops? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

11tw 106 Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) Roofs*maybe if you are american...In england the plural is rooves for example, nobody says 'hoofs' everybody says hooves. Certain words ending in 'f' become ves in the plural. Edited July 3, 2014 by 11tw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Certain words ending in 'f' become ves in the plural.Fair enough, though according to most people, you're using the outdated version. 1. The plural of roof is roofs or rooves. "Rooves" is an older form of the word and rarely used these days. Australian children right up to the 1980s, for example, were brought up with the word "rooves" rather than roofs, and it is still an accepted form in Australia today (though uncommon). Also, despite New Zealand English developing from UK English, it should be noted that in NZ, the plural of roof is rooves, in both its written and spoken form.2. The accepted plural is "roofs". The Oxford English Dictionary lists "rooves" as an alternate, one of several outdated spellings used in the UK, and in New England as late as the 19th century. 'Roofs' is correct to say, even in British English. It is considered the correct contemporary usage where 'rooves' was the old term, but still technically correct.
