Vick Posted December 25, 2016 Content Count: 2954 Joined: 08/25/12 Status: Offline Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) Come join us on the Zombie Escape server for the first event of 2017, VIP Escape! What is VIP? VIP is a game mode within the Zombie Escape server that was originally introduced by Crazy Swede. The game mode randomly select a player from the Human team to be the VIP of the round. The VIP is very valuable and crucial to the humans, so the objective and goal of the humans will be to protect the said VIP. If the VIP dies, the rounds ends and the Zombies win. In short, a human is selected a VIP at the start of the round, humans must protect the VIP while going through the map, if the VIP dies, zombies win. How do I know who the VIP is? The VIP will be on top of the scoreboard and will have a [VIP] tag in-front of their name. They will also be a pop up in chat that express who the VIP is, as well as a custom player skin/model. The VIP will also only have a secondary weapon. Where? The event will be on the Steam-Gamers Zombie Escape Server. IP: 70.42.74.162:27015 When?

Limited map rotation mainly because its an event and some of these maps can be finished quickly depending on how good the team is. Also, I'm assuming the VIP moves slower so any MG type maps like Gris and Rizomata are off the charts. And the goal is to defend the VIP maps like mako, wanderers, icecap will just have people bhopping to the front and leaving the VIP dead. That is unless we get a VIP with someone who can hippity hoppity hop 1 Link to comment

What's the thoughts on the map rotation; Any reason why those 3 specific maps, and are you open to adding some more/changing any of them? Mostly what @Inception said - we want to focus on casual maps + ones are rarely played but are pretty good in general. The focus of this map rotation would be that wanted a minimum of 3 maps played so that the event is throughly played with a full server, we want to give more recognition to maps that aren't played often so that it encourages the players to pick more of the rarer played maps and we want to make it fairly balanced in difficulty. We tend to play a lot of MG styled maps for ZE as well as ones that contain a lot of power up items as one of the main sources to defeating maps. Vick and I felt its more appropriate to play on casual maps where we don't have to worry about picking up an item just to defeat a portion of the map or having to do some other type of objective. We just want to keep it fun, simple and memorable for our players so they end up wanting more 3 Edited December 25, 2016 by Black Rain Noticed a mistyped word xdd Link to comment

There are some stuff we need to modify and generally improve the VIP Mod, so hopefully the next time we play VIP, it will go smoother. Thanks again, and Happy New Year! 3 Link to comment
