Overall Status

We are in active development with this leveling system and it will not be released in the near future as we work to flesh out all aspects of the system.

Test Group Applications: [CLOSED]

We thank you for your interest in being apart of the test group for the leveling system, however, we are not accepting additional players at this time. We hope to open testing up to additional players as the addon is developed further and will announce in-game and on this thread when applications become open again.

Description

The leveling system is a work in progress addon currently in user testing on the live server focused on long-term experience point earnings granting perks at various levels. This is not intended to replace or supplement the existing card system but instead, provide incentives or goals to players who play on the server frequently. As it is a work in progress we have limited its deployment on the lives server to a specific group of volunteers and there will undoubtedly be changes as development continues on the addon. You will not be able to view or access the addon unless you are apart of this test group.

Testing Disclaimer

For existing and prospective testers understand that any experience earned during the testing period will be reset upon the leveling system being deployed generally to the live server. Additionally, during testing your experience and/or level may be altered or reset at any time depending on situations arising during the course of testing. All perks and their associated levels in the system are subject to change at any time, along with the amount of experience required to reach a specific level. Should you be given Chest or ZS points in error due to a perk in the system we may, depending on the amount, remove those points from your account, however, we will attempt to be as conservative as possible in that deduction. Finally, we may, from time to time and potentially midway through a match, disable the leveling system for an indefinite amount of time to perform maintenance on the addon. This does not mean that you have lost your place in the testing group and you will be able to use the addon again as soon as it is re-enabled.

Feedback

If you would like to leave feedback regarding the system we highly encourage you to post any questions, comments, concerns, or bugs in this thread. If you're a member of the testing group you can additionally leave feedback in the dedicated private discord channel "#leveling-system-feedback" in the Zombie Survival discord. If you're unable to see this discord channel but are able to see the leveling system in-game, please direct message me (PapaJohn) in discord to get yourself added.

User Interface

The most obvious part of the addon is the HUD displayed in the top-center of the screen displaying your current level, the amount of experience you have currently earned for this level, and the total amount of experience you need to reach the next level. Additionally, there is a progress bar underneath to show the percent of experience you've earned towards leveling up.

The main perk menu can be found by pressing the "F6" key on your keyboard and will be used to list all perks, their associated level, and a description of what they do. Each perk level will be red when it is inactive and green when it is active. Any perk with a description stating it is a "one-time" event means that you will only get the perk reward when you level up once, while everything else is a passive perk that is typically applied on spawn. Finally, the bar on the left side of the window is a larger version of the progress bar displayed on the HUD listed above.
