Infected Minigame Suggestions

ajlpikachu

Infected is a great minigame and I enjoy playing it. However, several aspects of the game need to be fixed. These are all just suggestions that I believe are needed to make Infected a better minigame.

Kits
- Bat
  - Bat is currently one of the most overpowered kits in the game. With two health potions, a sharp 4 ghast tear, and the smallest hit box, the bat is easily one of the most broken kits. However, this is not fair of a kit against humans with the small hit box. With such a small hit box and two health potions, the weapon should be lessened to at most sharpness 1. Doing so will allow humans a better chance to fight back and stop bats from being drastically overpowered. Also, the health potions should be instant consumption rather than the current situation.
- Wolf
  - Wolf is quite similar to the bat in that it holds a small hit box and holds an overpowered weapon. The wolf has a sharpness 5 bone that should not be so with a hit box that small. The wolf should only have a sharpness 2 or 3 bone due to its current hit box size.
- Witch
  - The witch kit is easily one of the most cheap possible kits in the game. Once hit with both poison potions ,which last a total of 35 seconds, the humans health reduces from full to half. Furthermore, poison potions do affect other infected. My suggestion for this kit is to replace the poison potions with something like 1 harming potion and a couple of swiftness potions/fire resistance potions.
- Enderman
  - This kit after the enderpearl fix has vastly become an unfair kit. The kit's weapon is not balanced considering the fact that any user of the kit can teleport. This kit is unfair as any player does not have to go through the hard work to reach certain places and have similar or greater weapons than the other kits. Thus, I believe that this kit should only have a wooden sword or something similar.
- Mother Zombie
  - This kit needs more of a buff or balancing to match the other players. As the beginning infected, they are easily beaten and do much less damage. To balance the kit to give it equal footing to the other players would be to give it swiftness. Swiftness allows the mother zombies to easily catch more humans and give it an edge that it lacked against the other kits before.
Maps
- Docks
  - The only problem that I see with this map is that the map is too big. The map is vastly bigger than the other three possible maps and is much harder for infected to play with the vast amount of hiding places. I think that the map should be removed or just limited to a more confined area.
- Base
  - In this map, there are certain places that if a player lands in, they cannot escape. Two such examples are the tank and the cages that surround the map. To fix this, I suggest maybe adding a trapdoor floor which allows them to escape but not climb back in. For the tank, maybe a door on the side which allows easy access to the outside.
  - Bugs/GlitchesW
- Chat
  - The chat is set into local chat mode which requires players to be close to each other to talk. However, by other players, the chat requires other humans. Thus, if someone was left to be the last human, they would not be able to talk. Similarly, no one can talk if there is no human nearby. Thus, the chat should be put in world mode which does not require other humans to speak.
Suggestions (Not Fixes to Current Problems)
- Kits
  - Rabbit
    - Has a wooden sword but has jump boost 2
  - Chicken
    - Low health (4-5 Hearts) but immune to fall damage and wooden sword
  - Squid
    - Depth Strider and a fishing rod with sharp 2
- Achievement Ideas
  - Completionist
    - Get every kit possible
  - Leaders
    - Get on the leaderboard
  - Perfect Game
    - Be a mother zombie and win without dying once
  - Pacifist
    - Win a game as human w/o killing anyone
  - Know No Fear
    - Get 10k kills in infected
- New Perks For Players
  - Better Armor
    - Possibly for people who have bypassed others such as the top 8 kdr leaderboard or people who have passed a certain amount of kills
  - Discounts in shop
    - It costs less to buy in hub than ingame
    - Also, donors get the grenades cheaper by 50 per rank

As a active infected player, I think these suggestions could really improve infected and get more people to play, I also have a suggestion of my own. When you do /stats (player) I had this idea to have how many coins they sold included in the other statistics.
Great job +1

Ehh The wolf is supposed to be a hard hitter, this is to stop the people who are lvl 20 and destroying people with their iron set. (Talking about you) XD
Maybe this kit should be like really expensive?

I agree on the bat, but the rabbit should be faster and have a stone sword. or something.

The achievements look good, but I really hate the leaderboards one (PS4 trophy hunting experiences, so this is my opinion but I really hate those)

Tbh, the humans could use a nerf too, if almost all kits have wooden / stone swords then humans can literally destroy the infected.

But other than those, I agree on most of the stuff you said.
