Devils torch @Governatoris the good one

You can light fires on the other side of a stun wall without burning the walkers in the wall

If it works, I'm still not convinced enough to call it the good one. 35% chance and you can only shoot every other turn, it's not unusual to be waiting 6-8 turns for the fatty to light and by time it does the wall is dead

Yeah. And if I remember right, the % chance is not affected by Luck. It stays at 35% no matter who you use and the traits they have.

ATLAS-Z

Yeah it's only good compared to the other one lol

Very low bar

Someone recently asked me what "JSS" on forum meant:
"Just Survive Somehow".

It originated from Enid in TWD S6E2 "JSS", when she tried to cope after her parents were killed by walkers.

Player says to me:


So I go look again at the description:

And i realize, there's no obvious reference about Action Points beyond the intro tutorial, which is over pretty quick. 

So i went into the "Help" FAQ for some supportive text and found this. 


Obviously i know what action points are, but this made me realize many players out there might not. 

Hopefully we can include this and help them out. 

AP - Action Point - referring to a 1/2 turn attack/move, dictating a survivor actions during a single turn of combat. At the start of a turn, a survivor has 2 action points (1/2 actions). 

ATLAS-Z

Also @zbot with Jay-Z retiring, can we pin this glossary? Any little bit to help people coming here will be good I think. 

FuriousMoldovan

Thanks @ATLAS-Z, you made me think that as some point I'll have to break down the main Glossary post. Or start inserting hyperlinks to other posts with explanation/examples, etc.

Otherwise the main post will get too bulky and possibly confusing, especially for developing players. That's the main reason I haven't included more details to other terms so far.

Added:
AP - Action Point.
CL - Council Level.

@FuriousMoldovan

Can you add to PvZ also os PvE


We use PvE sometimes and I've seen others use it as well so I think it should have a place here.

FuriousMoldovan

Good idea Atlas.
I need to update it overall with all news terms. Haven't done it since February.

Cromwell

Island - consists of 3 connected sectors (1ABC, 2ABC, etc.).
Sector - consists of 8 or 12 combined individual missions (1A, 2B, 3C, 17D, etc.).

I see a lot using these terms, but why is it not the other way?
An island (in the real world) is land surrounded by water e.g. just like 1A, 2B etc.

Therefor a sector is a combination of islands e.g. 1ABC

I have always used it like that, but i see plenty do it like you, i just don’t get it

Because it's purely NML terminology

Cromwell

thanks for sharing, so NG and not the community which does not know what an island is
At least now i know why so many uses the terms like this

zbot

@Cromwell before the GW map changes all the maps were linked/ interlocked so you would need to clear the maps connected to unlock harder maps, it was a giant maze, so islands make sense for old timers but not so intuitive for new players.

FuriousMoldovan

Wow, that's an ancient screenshot.

Even before the older A...H-paths format.
