Suggestions. [Tracking]

<< < (2/3) > >>

avv:
Tracking could be okay if it wasn't directly skill% vs skill% related but had more to do with player's personal awerness and paranoia. So that if you felt like being followed, you could set an ambush for the one or just hide and lose him. So far there aren't good settings for that.

--- Quote from: Trokanis on August 06, 2010, 02:13:30 am ---Well I apologize for not finding all the sites where it might have been posted.  As far as flaming the suggestion, I believe it was a valid point.  Many games grant rewards to those who assist the game.  Having such a thing in place is a way to inspire help and interest in the development of the game itself.
--- End quote ---

The Fallout franchise is currently the intellectual property of Bethesda Softworks/ZeniMax Media and/or Interplay (Interplay is developing an "official" World of Warcraft-ized Fallout Online). Granting rewards for donations will be seen (and rightly so) as using that intellectual property to make a profit, which would be a Bad Thing™.

Also, your flowery speech about "inspiring help" and "interest" is crap. I've played games with donation rewards before, and in that sort of environment people donate primarily to get the rewards.

Trokanis:
Good Call Avv.  And I do understand about the intellectual property now thanks.  I had forgot about that aspect.  And it makes sense.  

As far as Tracking as long as it has the ability for someone to find your tent and your base it will forever be ready to add a black spot to a game that already floats in the gray.

As far as an idea being crap.  Every bad idea has a chance of being a gateway to a good idea.

"i gave you 100 dollarz, gimme foking PA now!!111" ?

Jesus Christ man, you can't be serious.

GroeneAppel:
I doubt tracking would work like that, i'm pretty sure only a single person could follow (track) you and enter your basebut will lose the location if he dies there, so yes if he manages to run out you better prepare for trouble. I also doubt you will be able to track people to tents. 
In other words, if you have some base defence, or no base at all you should be fine.
