Title: recieve XP for building your tent
Post by: VIVEK on August 18, 2011, 12:38:00 pm
Hi,

just a small suggestion, you should be awarded XP for building your tent - it is somewhat of a task to collect those 10 hides, and a reward of say, a 1000 xp, would be a nice boost at the low levels.

But u can easily buy hides, this means that u can level up just by making tent 231 times. I really dont think that someone would do that, but making tent 10 times, just for gain few levels sounds realistic. Which means that u only need 100k caps for level up your char in few minutes. Its really abuseable, because your char doesnt need ANY skill for making tent (spawn >> meet your rich friend alt >> go to modoc shop, or something >> make new tent city:])

Who cares if it's "abusable"? Exping is the most boring part of the game anyway, the most of the fun starts at lvl 21. In my opinion pretty much all actions should grant you with exp just to get you through this boring process quickly.

Would be bad idea to add more boring ways to exp, right?

Good idea.

As a one time bonus it would only act a a bit of leverage for new players who are having a hard time gaining XP, and for who getting together 10 hides is usually a difficult task, there for the XP will be well earned on average.

very good idea, just fix it with "You've build your first tent you recive {inster xp amount here}" and cannot get xp for crafting second, third and so on....

Exp may be just awarded for first time youll make tent. That would be valid way to make it boost for noobs and new alts which is pain in the ass to exp on very low levels without opening too much ways to abuse it.

something just crossed my mind - why does stores even sell brahmin hides? its not like you need vast amounts for crafting. taking brahmin hides out of stores inventory would force players to hunt brahmin for themselves, then the XP bonus cant be exploited.

I occasionally sell hides to the stores with my hunter/trapper when players aren't buying, players stocking the shops with hides is typically how they get them I think. Even if you stop npc's from selling them back to players, you can't stop players from selling them to other players (which maybe a good thing encouraging player interaction on a buy/sell level) but not all player characters are fighters and some will need to be able to purchase things others can hunt for.

lol what?  chances are if this newbie got the hides for a tent he either got it for free from another player or a higher lvl player helped him gather them and imagine he's still level 1.

545/3000 exp

makes tent

1545/3000 exp ZOMFG SO MUCH EXP!  He didn't even level up!

Besides, making your first tent is a MASSIVE milestone in this game and deserves the EXP bonus from making your first.

Simple way to get rid of all those saying "ABUSE":
You get exp only for the first tent you make. All other tents give you nothing. 1k is absolutely enough if not even needs a bigger bonus. This would help newbies while not drastically changing the game (unlike those ideas about safe spots and other shit).

Yeah, but hey, listen, if the bonus would be one time only...

Well, anyway, considering tent is somehow your first big step in wasteland, it's not a bad idea to emphasis this as an achievement with XP.

Just make it a starting quest to facilitate the one time xp gain.

If its about first tent make its difrent way of look. I think its good one time boost for newbies
Title: Re: recieve XP for building your tent
Post by: LagMaster on August 19, 2011, 11:39:42 am
this can be easly implemented with a perk(like the slaver perk)

perk: camper
req: make a tent
descr: you had made your first tent, a huge realization in the wasteland, congrads!!!
ef: you gain 1000 xp
ranks: 1

so if you make a new tent you wil not gain this perk again
also, when creating a tent add a condition
Code: [Select]
if(perk_variable==0)
    {
     gain perk;
     perk_variable=1;
    }
