Enough. I'm not letting fallacies and generalization of examples bring this thread down. Eternal, if you want to talk about perks, do so in Grill's thread. Right now we have two still undecided situations, the Zombie God and the Cosmonaut. I'll change the Cosmonaut to Astro-Zombie, because that's what it's called in the gamefiles. And Astronaut is a correct worldwide used term for a member of a spacecraft. Once I'm done with the Zombie God bar, I'll post a bunch of them. All the same but each with a different title (God of Zombies, Zombie Overlord, etc. etc) Then you can see which one's the best, and we'll go with that one.

Yes your rank is unfinished. As you know, Zombie God is the final rank. We're making sure everyone who reaches 5000+ posts will be getting something special. That's why it's taking longer than others. So I don't see what your point is. If I'm not mistaken Jimmy or Rez actually approved that name. Deciding on names like Cosmonaut or Astronaut - Gas Zombies or Crawler Zombies is hard. I might just make a poll and we'll see what everyone thinks are the best names.

I didn't say they were all unfinished. Much like the perks shields/bottles/tallies, the best way of seeing if these will look great or not in the end, is to test them all out. Like Lithium said; the bars are temporary for now, we're testing them and gathering feedback from everyone all to make the final product that much better. I have always been taught that Astronaut was the wrong term and космонавт - Cosmonaut was the right term. I've looked it up and the result was pretty interesting. Cosmonaut was a term used by the Russians during the Space Race while the Americans used the term Astronaut. That explains why Nikolai calls them Cosmonauts and why I thought that was the correct term (I'm Russian) In the end, I think the difference between Astronaut and Cosmonaut is so minimal, that we can safely say that both terms acceptable. That's what I think. I still have all the photoshop files (and I assume Lithium has as well) so we can always change the text.

Glad to see you're enjoying them. Thanks, and yes I can easily change them if necesssary. For instance, I'm not 100% happy with George Romero's so I'm redesigning it. And we're still undecided on what to call the final God-like rank.

Just looked it up and yes they're identified as Napalm (Zombies) in-game. 1. The current hierachy is based on a number of variables. It's a mix between how 'intelligent', 'dangerous' and 'complex' the enemy is. So for instance, while the Pentagon Thief doesn't do any physical damage, it forces players to adapt a different strategy in order to succesfully deal with him. That's why he's higher on the list than the Napalm Zombie. 5. For the moment, yes. Even with 15 ranks, we have to exclude a number of bosses. We could consider Monkey Bombs, but then we also kind of have to look at Gersch Devices and Matryoshka Dolls, as they're all in the same category.

Because we're still not sure on the exact total number of ranks, that's still being figured out, Grill. Will have it up soon.

Second one?

I'm interested in this. I'll go through my files and see if I can find anything.

Nice! I've updated the OP, adding in all the ranks we currently have. (and those damn, dirty apes) Also updated the tier list. We're now looking at 15 ranks. Not sure yet how the perks will come into play, but we're working on it. We also have something special in mind for some of the top ranks. Enjoy!

I think these packs are just a test by Activision to see just how much demand for DLC there still is left after the next CoD hit the scene. If these are successful, expect to see this kind of DLC for Ghost even after the release of Sledgehammer's CoD. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Excellent thread. @Lithium: If I recall correctly they are the same, but they added some more in Kino. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No problem. I'll get on it.

So like having the userbar + x amount of tallies / perks / hud thing all in a single image?

@Boom We don't. That's the problem. I'm taking into account 10 - 12 at the moment. And that's almost as many as there are available options. @MMX That was done deliberately. You'll notice that I've only put forward bosses that were added with the whole 'multiple selectable titles per tier' in mind. (Space Monkeys, Regular Zombie Monkeys) Ranks which we already know will be realized (like Zombie God, Human, Zombie) don't need to be in the poll. It works either way. You're just rephrasing the question.

I've put a poll up to see which bosses people like to see become a reality. You can vote on more than one, unfortunately I can't set a limit on how many you can place your vote on. So please, limit yourself to three. We'll see which one's are popular, and work from there. I know we still haven't decided on just how many total ranks there will be, but that doesn't mean we can't continue working. Anyway, cast your votes, everyone

Thanks, DBZ! Btw, the third head is in the middle, MMX. I've incorporated the feedback and updated the list. Tier 1: Human Tier 2: Zombie Tier 3: Space Monkey, Monkey Zombie, Denizen of the Forest Tier 4: Hellhound, Gas Zombie, Ghost Lady / Sarah Tier 5: Shrieker Zombie, Phasing Zombie, Pentagon Thief Tier 6: Napalm Zombie, Jumping Jack, "Him" / Avogadro Tier 7: Astro-Zombie / Cosmonaut, Brutus, Panzer Soldat Tier 8: Cerberus / Beast, Giants, George Romero Tier 9: Agarthan Zombie Tier 10: Ancient Evil, Samantha Maxis, Edward Richtofen, Ludvig Maxis I think we're nearly there. I agree with Boom that Sarah fits better in the fourth tier. Giants may not be 'enemies' but Humans aren't either. So they shouldn't be excluded, IMO. I'll have a chat with Lithium so we can continue our work.

@MurderMachineX Thanks for the list and input, MMX. I didn't forget about the alternative titles. I believe I was the first person to bring forward the idea of being able to choose from (3) different titles once you unlocked the next tier. I was told then it wouldn't be possible, so I dropped it and went with the tier list Rissole made. Denizen noted. I'll change it around and see if it fits better. @Boom Hahaha. We'll see how they stack up against the rest. I don't see why we can't change the list at a later date. @MrPINNAZ Thanks! It was a real pain to get a good shot of him. I'm not married yet :-( Sarah Faraday? Her real name is Sarah Barnard. She never changed her name after getting married.

Yes. We use in-game screenshots and then resize them to fit the bars. I only use official screenshots if I must. So for the pentagon thief for instance I simply started up my game and took multiple screenshots of him. Then I chose one for the background, and one where you can see the (boss) thief clearly. Lastly I cut out the thief and place him on the background image. That's good to hear!

Here's another one. And I updated the list a little bit. Human (01 -10 posts) Zombie (10 -25 posts) Denizen (25 -50 posts) Gas Zombie (50 - 100 posts) Hellhound (100 - 250 posts) Napalm Zombie (250 - 500 posts) "Him" (500 - 1000 posts) Thief (1000 - 2000 posts) Cosmonaut (2000 - 3000 posts) Panzer Soldat (3000 - 4000 posts) Cerberus (4000 - 5000 posts) Zombie God (5000 + posts) How many ranks are we now looking at? I'm in favor of Cerberus. I know it's not mentioned in the files or anything, but that also applies to the Agarthan Zombies. Beast seems a little generic for something so high up in the list. I forgot the Cosmonaut, my bad. I did a little test with different colors for the Director. I'm thinking of ways to give the final ranks something special to make them truly stand out.

Hmmm, that's not right. Are you using a TV as monitor, friend? It must be something on your end, I can see them all clear here with my laptop that's also 1920 x 1080.

I'll PM you. Anyone else having problems with the font size? To me it's quite clear. If so we can just easily change it to something else. The font we use is Visitor TT1 BRK. The same one that's used in normal userbars. Unfortunately, it only supports font size 10. I was thinking of changing 'Zombie God' to either '[Zombie / Demonic / Demon] Announcer' or 'Ancient Evil'. We can swap them around. I do think Avogadros are more harder to kill and certainly more rare than Napalm Zombies, so that's why I think it's higher on the list.

Current Status - Working on getting the tier list implemented correctly. - Putting the finishing touches on some designs. - Re-designing Romero and Panzer Soldat. - Brutus will be added soon. ________________ Hi everyone, Slade here. Zombification is an indication of how many posts a registered member on CoDZ has made so far. (It's our fancy word for Post Rank) As a member makes more posts, their Zombification Level will rise.

Those personalization packs which will be available on march 4th are likely in this patch. Meaning if you buy them, you'll only download a small text file that gives you access to the packs. Happens all the time, highly efficient way of dealing with more smaller DLC.

Second concept round. Made these in a flash, far from perfect. Based on Rissole's tier list. We can make a whole bunch of these tier userbars. And then you can buy one for a certain amount of points (which you can get from posting or getting brains)
