snipers will officialy be useless, because a biggunner needs about 180% skill to be useful whereas a sniper needs at least 250% to be effective, that's the reason most snipers have crap skills in general and focus on not being in enemy LOS... say hello to waves of minigunners running about the server if it will have a skill cap at 200%, I'm on 215% skill and can't hit the enemy eyes with a handgun beyond 20 hexes at 95%, and eyeshots are all that matter for snipers...

I have some time right now so I thought I'd comment.

--- End quote ---
First line, and yet I disagree. Yes, we all want the same thing, a game that is fun to play. However, I want a "realistic post-apocalyptic wasteland". Not too much realistic of course, but just enough to provide one thing that is too often forgotten - survival (And survival is often in "Realism" category when it comes to the wasteland). But... Survival can be fun ! I don't think we disagree that much here, but your sentence sounded like "We want munchkins not low-tech stuff" :p

--- End quote ---
Yes, that would be cool. Afaik, devs aren't opposed to a guide (=!= noob town) at beginning, but spawning with a few resources is some kind of new idea, and I like it.
--- Quote from: Ned Logan on August 10, 2010, 07:55:46 pm ---You level up doing many interesting quests, killing critters, mining and crafting yourself gear, if you get enough loot from hunting, you can sell it and buy yourself gear.
(if you are griefer you kill newbs and get gear from them)

It seems close to what we have right now, or at least what we'll have in a few months (Quests contest shows it, for example).

[this is currently not practical, because only the one who kills, gets exp, not the whole group]
--- End quote ---
As I said on another topic, shared exp is on devs' to-do list (which doesn't mean it'll be implemented soon) :p
--- Quote from: Ned Logan on August 10, 2010, 07:55:46 pm ---The counter is 15 minutes.

Solar said it'll be like that on next update (Or did he say after next wipe ? Well anyway, it's planned).
--- Quote from: Ned Logan on August 10, 2010, 07:55:46 pm ---The game user interface and battle system is made so the result of battle depends on skill, tactics, little of luck and unfortunately numbers.
--- End quote ---
Yes, I vote to remove instant kills too :/
--- Quote from: Ned Logan on August 10, 2010, 07:55:46 pm ---Gathering and crafting cooldown doesn't exist. Every lvl 21 has ton of items, but so what, as long as the game is fun and 5 low end equiped lvl 5 guys can kill him in his top gear everything is ok.
--- End quote ---
Huh, no it's not. Having tons of items in a post-apocalyptic wasteland is a nonsense and leads to a not funny situation, where everyone has so much stuff that nothing has value. Ask PvPers if they have fun at the moment with being rich. Also, I personnaly dislike this, because of the survival thing I already explained at the beginning of my post.
--- Quote from: Ned Logan on August 12, 2010, 12:32:08 pm ---Integrate FT-like aimbot.
--- End quote ---
Will be implemented asap, afaik (But it might be up to cvet).
--- Quote from: Ned Logan on August 12, 2010, 12:32:08 pm ---AP replenishing also during walk, during run too, but only half speed.
--- End quote ---
Huh, even more advantages to attackers over defenders, and longer fights ? Not my cup of tea.
--- Quote from: Ned Logan on August 12, 2010, 12:32:08 pm ---Possible to enter sneak anytime anywhere. (Sneak rebalanced)
--- End quote ---
Sneak is already quite good, no need to make everyone able to sneak anytime, anywhere.
Overall - Good ideas, nice and small changes that, unlike many other suggestions, are small enough to have a chance to be implemented, and wise enough to improve this game for everyone. Keep it up !

You dont realy get the point, aren't you? We have not fun not because of tons of stuff, but because current player - organized PvP (= Town control beacons) + drugs bad addict timeouts means, that we can fight 2 fights in more than hour, if we are LUCKY.
I hope there are others GM or developers that can actualy recognize the worst problems in PvP.
This is the reason why i left the game now, i have my own duties and i will rather spend one hour by wood choping (real wood) than die (or not) in one minute of one hour waiting fight.
Izual, i exactly dont know if you have PvP experience, i can lend you my chars, drugs, stuff, mumble information, i will like to see, if you will enjoy PvP. I dont have anything agaisnt you personaly, but i dont like, if person who could change something in my favourite virtual world, does not recognize the problem (or listen to players who knows it). I know it, rest. of VSB (or Hawks) members too. We are here from the begining, from the start. It is not reason for aplaus, but we have experience with every kind of PvP that was here. I think that small number of players can say this, maybe few mushrooom boys. Because we and they had powerbuilds even in first era. Again, not reason to aplaus. But we can see that in PvP, until new sneak was implemented, is not developing.
Power builds were invented, druged or non, and there is not any new space for inventing in the barirers of current system (special, skill points,...). We gave you respons, and you tell us, that problem is big amount of stuff... ehm

Heh yeah, I know what you mean. I wan't some sort of "realism" and survival atmosphere too, but I still like firing minigun when standing, be able to withstand 3 eyeshots (with luck) etc...

Yes, but is should not be so frustrating to get your gear just to have some PvP fun as it is now - that is my reason for such suggestion, I would be glad if it was solved somehow more realistically related to the fallout world.

Currently the fights are like this: a gang is holding position somewhere, scout warns them of incoming enemies. pew pew pew. there are the victors standing in the same position as when the fight started, the rest lies on the ground dead (same positions).
Regaining AP during walk and run combined with different speeds of BG tanks, snipers and sneakers would bring a lot of fresh air into battles and their tactics - changing positions, retreat etc. Currently the best is just to hold your ground or run away instantly as you see the enemy.

I meant you shouldn't have to go hide away from your team just to enter sneak so the enemy can't see you.

Currently, the fights mechanics are just fine. Sometimes its best to stand, sometimes you take cover behind the wall to regain APs, sometimes you run. Ragained aps and different speed would need much balancing with uncertain result and I thik the devs shoul be concentrating on filling the game up with content.
As for sneak, you dont have to hide from your team, just have them all to tag you and there ya go-you can sneak in front of them.
