Title: Limit the making of tent maps
Post by: Alexandrite on February 18, 2013, 03:40:18 pm
You know that tent you just made and then you made a map of it so you could share with friends and foes? I think we should decrease the limit of map-making of a tent to like 3-5 maps per tent instead of infinite creations of maps from one tent...

What do you think?

I think bettter make it require some material to make maps, blank paper from books perhaps.

I have got one idea. add to fixboy paper and material for paper production would be: wood. (maybe something else)

It should require an empty paper, like the one suggested in "Paper" item & Writing Notes (http://fodev.net/forum/index.php/topic,27982.0.html) by Eternauta.

Yes, but the paper has to give something to get. so I wrote a draft of crafting.

I didn't think about that when I made the Paper suggestion. It's good idea.

To be honest I think we need wasteland houses or be able to buy bases with only 1 alt.



Only noobs stick with tents.

IMO, for poor players and factions (casual/lazy/whatever), the good solution would be :
- Some bases for the main HQ.
- Some tents for secondaries areas.

Even  lonelly players need at least one base, to register all their chars and put the stuff they want to exchange between alts, including the tent maps. I think to risky to put a tent map in a public location and dual/fast relog to make sure all chars read it. (especially with the idling treat) I someone spots you, you just gave up you tent and everything inside.

Of course, for big gangs, or well organized lonelly players, having 40+ bases wouldn't be a problem.

Are you kidding? This is one of the most exciting things in the game, risking something. Why should everything be perfectly safe?

Tent/base are supposed to be safe. Otherwise, why bother buying/building them ? You could just put your stuff in commercial row, if safety doesn't matter.

Bases are supposed to be safe, along with Tents, (barring betrayal) there is already way too much unsafe in the game we don't need to take that away too.  I like the idea of paper for the maps, but really the issue isn't the fact that you can make millions of maps from a tent, it's that noobs are leaving them everywhere, limiting maps will only make the noobs go back to leaving Brahmin crap and 9mm ammo everywhere.

If you screw it up to properly hide the map item for your alts to read, then it's your fault. It's one of the best examples of emergent gaming and you want it removed because it is "too harsh"?  ::)

Just make cooldown, 1 per hour, to not junk the shops with it - problem solved.

I didn't said that the tent feature should be removed. It is a great improvement.

I just advise to loners who want to have more than one hideout or more than one character, to get at least one base, for better efficiency and security. Why should they risk everything they have, if there is a more viable solution ?

About harshness speech, i'll leave it to troll, who think it'll excuse their behavior.
