The moral of that story is..
Just put em back and do it soon before more people leave or sell to people who dont know what theyre getting into -
Nitrored @ 02 Jul 2012 01:54:35 PMTo me its a 2 part issue... drugs did too much, but yes were atleast balanced.
This seems to be one-sided, does way more the what was already too much IMO, and for less cost if im not mistaken? -
Very much less the cost.. The fact that the AK47 at first offered a 2000% str increase would have crippled the server had it not been lowered.. It is a one sided introduction into what is an already established game with set perimeters in the area of weapons and armour and to raise one without taking the other into account is somewhat negligible but at the same time this can be repaired easily and should be done so before it kills the game..

Nitrored @ 02 Jul 2012 01:59:08 PMI can see ammo giving 1,2,3... maybe at rifle level 5% boosts at most...
but similar options for kevlar padding or ceramic plates should be given to defense.
If RPG ammo is meant to be a nuclear bomb, make it so its rare... but even then only the fastest person can use it so still kinda pointless. -
I honestly dont see it as being that complicated Nitro.. All we need done is for dave to put the percentages back to what we have known for over 4 years now..
I like the padding and plates idea and actually mentioned it myself to a few people in skype the other night.. However this is going to come at more cost.. I feel the ammo and deterioration rates should serve to take enough out of the economy as it is and dont think we require any more drain just yet although in the future if the additions are good i wont have a problem with it.. With daves recent quest having the main aim of bringing in new players this update will serve to deter rather than attract.. If you think where new players get most of their help from that leads you to gangs and already established players who in all fairness at the moment will be tightening up and starting to think slightly more inwards than usual.. At one time the gangs were thriving because we had the resources to fund gangs and new players.. Now there is much more to be taken into account on many different levels and thus will lead to the community becoming a little more selfish than it has been for a long time. -
Nitrored @ 02 Jul 2012 02:23:11 PMJust from a gang helping new players perspective... I saw the question asked but missed if there was an answer or not... does a gang lose its loaned equipment if its over used? And really now a weapon is not quite as helpful as it was unless you plan on funding every bullet they use.
But yes i can agree and think this would end up causing players to help new players less. -
Yes the loaned weapons do deteriorate but what happens to them when they finally conk out i do not know.. I guess we will have to either test it ourselves or just wait and find out.. It will have a detrimental effect on the way gangs operate and how new players are introduced to the game.. Instead of the old one for all attitude we will end up seeing new players sent out to fend for themselves like we did when the game first started..

tinner @ 02 Jul 2012 08:41:01 PMso if your using an rpg without ammo how come you still kill people? or do you just need the ammo to get the bonus?
-
Pistol whipping someone with an RPG would still really really hurt..
-
I already know what happens if loaned gear deteriorates...
It goes bye bye from the vault
-
There we go.. I recommend a limit be set on loaned items so that they can return to the vault when they hit a certain lowness of quality for them to be repaired..

[~?~] Vinnie Da Hitter @ 03 Jul 2012 06:51:28 AMWood rots. Steel rusts. Aluminum corrodes. We need carbon fibers or explosives. But then the Sun UV's will deteriorate the the carbon fibers. Moisture can hamper the explosiveness of the incendiary device. Black powder got some boom. Gun powder got sum snap. My MD attorney's informed me not to elaborate on mixing sulfur with the above,said. Nor about fertilizer and diesel fuel with an excelerant. For home use I am still fond of a good old Polish Cannon. Happy 4th of July! KABOOM!
