Los Alamos Project (some kind of a BarterTown)

<< < (7/8) > >>

Arminius:
No, we can't build a fancy barter town just because of a lack of safe cities, that's no excuse. As said above, there are MANY safe cities in-game, they're just completely abandoned.

The cities in-game weren't designed for an MMO. MMO's cities usually have places to retain the people, to keep them there, depots, warehouses, shops, banks and so on. NCR has those, Hub had some movement before but not so much right now. We must think of ways to attract people to the unoccupied cities, for that we have to think about city design, regional resources, etc. Whatever we can think of to distribute gaming population.

I think that if the devs can't test the scripts, there are huge risks: imagine your game crashing from a script, already implemented, and you end up with a blocked log in or something? Only the devs can know what might happen due to script bugs, I won't even go there. I think we should focus more on making the other cities more attractive to players, and thus giving a meaning to them, rather than building entirely new ones.

Wise words ;)

I agree very much with Skejwen and Arminius.

I think the solution to abandoned towns is to move some of the most needed things out of NCR to places like San Francisco and Hub.

NCR is really the capital of the whole 2238 Wasteland, almost nobody ever goes anywhere else except for quests and other stuff like town control. NCR has everything needed; a bank, workbench, population for trading, merchants, quests, better guards than other places. San Francisco has almost none of this.

Another idea is to make NCR more of a target to gangs, give it town control capability for example. The newb population wouldn't think of it as so safe if the stronger gangs were always trying to take over the place.

I guess this isn't problem of city as ingame place, but place for automatic sellers, some mart when I can leave my char with stall for night to sell what I got. Some place to unite all players, some nice place designed for MMO Fallout, not choosen one adventure. Something more than current cities. Where if someone try to kill other, will be sent to thunderdome to fight ( :D :D :D ). This city can be available for players for example once a week for one day, just to meet togheter, to make some fun, dancing and related. ble ble ble etc. :) That's my point.

Yes, We can! Toghether! make this city to be something really new in fallout world, without lost of fallout vibe, but with something more exotic. New buildings, new features. This could be something for what players will be waiting whole week.

But see, other cities could be used for this, New Reno is a place for people to meet together and have some fun when it's 'Comedian Night', and that's open to people all day. It's just we need other cities to become useful for people to leave the newb haven of NCR. Adding this in every few days will just be like New Reno, they go, but after the event is finished, they go back to NCR.
