Ok, so, I was talking with a couple of people about Halloween Events in other games and it got me to thinking about how we could do something different to improve our halloween events.
So, what I'm proposing is that the Zombie Virus flags you for free for all PvP(I'd settle for flagging for normal PvP, but it'd be pointless for Vector). If you're bitten by a player or a Zombie, this would flag you to FFA PvP. The Zombies could have a 1/3 chance of dropping 'Flesh' that can be traded for 'Vaccine' or 'Cure', for example, a consumable that would deflag you.
The flesh could have some small scale buffs on it too, I suppose, making it a comsumable too.
This would just give the Zombie Virus a reason to be avoided and could be a bit of fun, in my eyes.
To stop the consumables causing a problem during the normal cycle the 'Vaccine' or 'Cure' would be deactivated and unable to use outside of the Halloween period.
Discuss, shoot down, etc. ;)
Durr, editted for horrible typos.
Yeah, I think thats quite a good Idea honestly yas.
I'd like it if the Smith Virus FFA flags you, too.

Yes! That would also be great.

Actually I think this is a really good idea. If you wanted to avoid flagging entirely you could just stay away from the Zombie Zones and it would stop everyone from blowing through the farm so fast. Plus it'd be an easy counter to those people who like to farm afk during this time.
bad idea, forcing pvp on players is horrible in my opinion, some of us don't like pvp at all. let the forced pvp stay within the constructs please.
If zombies did force flag you, you can easily avoid them by hyperjumping, or not being in the two districts they spawn in. Besides, it's only for two weeks.
HOW WILL I FARM MY ZOMBIES FOR MASSIVE EXP NOW? MUST BE A HOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIBBBBLLLLLLLE IDEA, ONLY A GRIEFER WOULD WANT THAT, BECAUSE I KNOW WHEN I FARM MY MASKS I'LL GET GANKED. THIS GAME JUST ISN'T LIKE IT USED TO BE.
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

My first haloween in the matrix, and i must say i am a bit dissapointed. I thought that zombie viruses did actually flag people! I mean come on, where is the fun in being a zombie then? To bite people that are actually willing to interlock at mara c? Oh please.
I really thought it was all about spreading the virus all over the city, or having dedicated "zombie slayers" going around ganking the infected, player and npc alike.. but nope.
/pimpslap
But after some thinking, and realizing that it probably wouldn't be hard to find a secluded place to hide and farm, I wouldn't really give a **** either way.
(There, all four letters are removed, ya happy now filter nazis?)
Yeah that is a mint idea. Cannae really spread a virus on a non hostile server if you can't attack anyone. As people have said, its only a couple of weeks and you could 'maybe' avoid it
I remember back in April there for the Anniver event, towards the end of it anyhoos, whenever i got turned into a Smith i would start trying to change everyone (would roll out on most people ) It was fun and to implement something like this would make Halloween a bit more enjoyable. (Its bn the same thing for how long now.)
Cut down afk farming and people wouldn't grind through it all as fast (i'v got most of the new masks already + the ones i picked up from last year.) So big thumbs up Yasa

Theres still a little problem because if your farming masks with a whole bunch of howies from different orgs in a small area you could just die like that and couldnt come back until you use the stupid vaccine. It really would srew up alot of ppl. I could see why people that just pvp in this game would want it, but for the rest of us, it just screws up the fun of getting the masks.
