2238 is simulator of waiting
Kirkor:
Wow, this thread is weird as hell.
First it started from critic, that there are too many cooldowns on everything, and traveling on map is way to slow.
Then people started to whine about everything else (including weapon nerfs/buffs)
Then they started to criticize eachother for type of gaming they like
Then it started useless disscussion about RP...
And all I have to say is: Traveling on world map is way too slow and it has nothing to do with RolePlay nor with anything else. Its just pure annoying stuff. Also some of cooldowns could be changed/deleted.
- crafting/gathering CD should stack up to 40 minutes
- No cooldowns for repair/dissassemble
- More kinds of loot from NPCs (not too much. Just Xander root/Gunpowde etc. from time to time. It would have to be rather rare, so people wouldnt go just farming)
- Farming should give you MUCH LESS items than crafting. Right now if you want to save your time, you just go and farm on caravans. Crafting is too much time consuming if you compare it to farming.
- All of above should have reasonable proportions. You should get stuff not so fast, and not too slow. Basic stuff (leather jackets, lame pistol & basic ammo) should be fairly easy to get, but more advanced stuff (Metal Armors, Some better guns) should be provided MOSTLY by skilled crafters.

Maybe it should make cars usable. Vith car travelling is quiet fast and confortable even for PvP character. And u can have 10 brahmin hides in your trunk to park safely anywhere or some tents around cities.

Agree with that.
Now the map is much bigger than before (thanks to the slow down of walking speed).
And the cars really make sense now.
If you have difficulty to buy a car, I suggest you two things:
- try the train (you can do some carrying work at the Hub for instance to earn your 200 caps and buy a ticket).
- try to find some taxi cab ( I know some wastelanders do that kind of job for a small amount of caps/items)

Well, you know, for newcommers it's hard to get these 'few caps' at the beggining. And in Fallout Universe there wasnt much cars (in FO2 there was only ONE car which was a big event when you came first time to each city. In New Reno they stole it. In NCR guy wanted to guard your car etc.)
So cars are quite expensive for someone who don't know much about FOnline. Its realy big deal for someone, who don't even know how to earn money or have own tent. It would be different case, if in each city were plenty of quests, so you wouldn't have to travel so often.
So travel speed should be increased imo. And cars should be luxury for rich then.
Oh, and car should be LUXURY not NEED-TO-BUY-OR-DIE-OF-BOREDOM.

Uh hello! It seems that I found out about Fonline at worst possible moment. I'm new player and I don't know how much will my opinion matter but I'll leave a few lines here anyway ;) I've read some tutorials on how to begin but none of them dealt with level of frustration this game can cause to a new player.
Cooldowns, slowass travel system and fool loot don't go hand in hand really well IMO. I can afford precious few hours a day to play the game but when I have to spend that time dieing, starting from zero, traveling, dieing again in endless loop I think to myself WTF am I doing. The only thing that keeps me around is love for fallout, but then I log in and see a big sign "Masochistic Paradise" written all over.
Here's something that doesn't need extensive Fonline experience, just a touch of common sense. First thing devs should ask themselves is: "What part of waiting and trillion of cooldowns make the game fun?" and start developing from there. No hints required, I hope.
Peace
