If it was up to me, Id totally move whole BP concept that is on TLAmk2 here. I think its much or less flawless
The problem is that the fact that crafting is in unsafe places anyway, it wouldn't makePeople will go farming, because that is easier, and that's it.
blueprints with 100% condition worth much more for high skill crafter, because you wouldn't
craft that much at one time to destroy it with one visit anyway, so if you brought 100% BP,
you would just risk an item that was harder to get with no benefit whatsoever. Therefore people
would rather use poor quality BPs to craft things. Perhaps 50% or more deteriorated BPs should
result in weapons with deterioration?
And I don't think you should be required to do "Town Control" PvP and then standThen TC needs improvement, being honest, everything needs.
for 2 hours in a town for a possibility to get promoted to a crafter of a random item.
I don't think anyone said anything about nerfing.
Perhaps 50% or more deteriorated BPs shouldThat would be a nerf to crafting and quite disgusting.
result in weapons with deterioration?
Still, farming will be better option, or you'll have to "nerf" it :P.
If instead a 20% deteriorated Blueprint to craft a dozen of 30-40% Mega Power Fist could
be found in shops and if I could also take a PvE mission that takes maybe an hour and
rewards you with a 100% blueprint of your choice - and I could craft 50x 100% MPF and
another 50x of deteriorated ones, I wouldn't exactly call it a "nerf". I think it's different mechanics
that reduces huge, boring, one-time-in-a-session grinds and still keeps those items desirable.
You really should stop with the "nerf" bullshit, If we change damage of weapon from 20 to 15
then you can legitimately call it "nerf" not if we make overhaul of whole system which makes
some things easier and some other harder.
If those lesser BPs required lesser amount of materials to craft the desired items that would be good, otherwise don't even bother.Already crafting materials are enormous, you need quite same amount of mats to craft P90 as LSW, that's just hilarous.
Well maybe offtopic but...Only equipment you need to craft nowadays are Super Stimpaks, AP rockets, Tesla Armor/Tesla Helmet, 5mm ap ammo, 7.62 (can be easily farmed) .223 (can be easily farmed too).
Since crafting most of the expensive stuff is doable only via AWB, it should be transformed into factory machine and for crafting every single item should require certain amount of energy, which you can buy(with caps) right in the place or using MFC on the machine. This certain amount of energy would be influenced with your crafting skill(SG,EW,Repair...) aswell as complexity of crafting item. Quite good substitution for BP costs. Once you are skilled crafter you should be able to deal with Machnes owner to gain privilegie craft certain items with free energy. They would distribute energy to machine every time you would need craft certain type of Weapon/armor...
Plasma nades, Frag nades, MFC, SEC, Combat armors and metal armors MKII(aswell), Improved flamers... Even drugs are craftable today.Drugs --- shops.
Still most of these are farmable too, but most of them with lesser efficiency than Mass Crafting(except CA)
If it was up to me, Id totally move whole BP concept that is on TLAmk2 here. I think its much or less flawlessFor those who dont know how it works on TLAmk2, Id like to elaborate. There are 3 tiers of blueprints:
Are high tier items used in PvP? How hard/time consuming is it to make top tier weapon?
Are high tier items used in PvP? How hard/time consuming is it to make top tier weapon?Frankly, we dont have much PvP experience, maybe SoT would give you more accurate answer. Were PvPing in mid-tier weapons, the most powerful gangs use high-tier (but cant tell how many of them they have). Powered armors Ive seen using only once, by the most powerful faction there.
Are high tier items used in PvP? How hard/time consuming is it to make top tier weapon?Depends, you only need to craft Superstims and maybe drugs and ammo, rest is farmable (avengers, gatlings, sniper/laser/plasma rifles, zookas, lsw, m60).
