Blood Vial

Check out this idea from May, 2010 http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=42466

"Comfort Joe's second ability is his special bear jerky. Joe makes his famous bear jerky with his family's special recipe and he coats each piece with his secret barbecue sauce. The bear jerky is especially stinky and animals can smell it for yards around. Comfort Joe can remove a slice of jerky and throw it and it will lure all specimens within the range of travel to that piece of jerky. The jerky can be used to either create a distraction or lure specimens to a killing spot."

I like this idea and fully support it. Would definitely make medics a hell of a lot more useful! But this is a genius idea so it probably won't get used. They'll probably just give the medic a tier 3 medic gun like the old one but does more damage, and call it a day.

nice advertising. very subtle. But may I ask what a hillbilly from the Deep South would be doing in the People's Republic of LOADSEMONE?

Well you covered an actually good idea in a big, overly wordy slab of text mostly about stuff that sounds pretty ridiculous.
Did you learn your lesson?
Cause that not catching on is pretty much your fault and it's a bit too late to go around claiming credit for this now.
Or whatever it is you're trying to do there.

I have only read the first and last page but i give it a +1. It sounds great!

But just have to had that i first was thinking of L4D2 when throw the green acid and all the monsters is attracted to it

But they way you said it and laid it out, it is just perfect and i would love to see it. but i don't think the blood should effect FP and SC. will make it to easy, but when sirens is drawn to it they will stop screaming giving you a chans to kill the big ones without the sirens around at the same time.

Dunno if this has been suggested as I've only read the first and last pages, but maybe replace the gorefast with stalkers. Gores seem quite a bit more dangerous and focused on turning you inside-out in 10 seconds or less.

Also, possibly make the vials extremely expensive for anyone but medic to go with his bonus, but increase the amount you can carry, or their usefulness somehow? If not this, then have em replace grenades. Teammate gets cornered by clots and crawlers, with a scrake on his way, just smash a vial at your feet and get to running. Nobody but medic could use them, like nobody but the firebug can light things up without an actual flamethrower.

Decreases medic's combat ability a tad - not really a severe penalty to prevent kiting or anything like that, but I can't see it going the WRONG way, seeing as how clots and crawlers aren't generally a huge problem for medics anyway.

Feel the power of Bump!

did anyone make a mutator or something for this?

something i think can make the vial less OP is if it rages the zeds (+the bigger zeds like scrakes and fleshpounds) as if they are hungry for more blood and make them taget the person the used the vial.

What if there was diseased blood that could put status debuffs or DOT abilities on lesser ZEDs?/bump

I remember this idea, was cool. Whether I'd still want it adding... Meh... feels a little Left 4 Deady for my taste.

Yes, about half way through typing up this suggestion, I did think "oh yeh, Bile Bomb"

Exactly what I was thinking while reading this. I honestly don't like this idea, I simply don't see it in KF reality fitting well.
