Title: Taming Brahmins and enslaving people should give exp.
Post by: Michaelh139 on June 18, 2010, 10:19:42 am: Yeah pretty much title says all, taming brahmins should give like 50 exp each or so... Just to make brahmins a lil more interest ;D.

And as Vedaras suggested enslaving people should give exp also.

Post by: Surf on June 18, 2010, 10:23:44 am: Actually not that bad idea. Giving +100xp or so for each tamed brahmin wouldn't hurt.

Post by: gordulan on June 18, 2010, 02:42:56 pm: it could work, but actually, it may be a small boost of exp, ropes are 100 caps each, right? Brahmin hides are 100 caps each, right? a +100 xp per tamed brahmin, then one can fuck it up and get another +80 xp with no risk to yourself, so technically it will give some newbs a boost to leveling quicker.

I'm all for it, and as I see the exploit is a positive thing, since experienced players will probably not waste their time searching for brahmin.

And now for something completely different, a brahmin.

Post by: Flick on June 18, 2010, 03:46:11 pm: as you said you may tame one then kill , so maybe +50 xp would be more cautious

Post by: gordulan on June 18, 2010, 04:30:44 pm: nah, i'd like it to become at least a +120 exp, that way the noobs can get to lvl 2 in 5 brahmins, but first they'll need a rope.

I don't see what this has to do with the current topic.

Post by: Kardia on June 18, 2010, 06:34:37 pm: brahmin and slave exp isnt bad idea, since most slaver builds tend to be lot weaker in terms of power anyway.

Sorry I was a bit hazy... um I meant "Boost Exp gain from crafting", as a joke of course. As Kardia said, Im also all for some justice for those weak slavers/brahmin herders :(

Post by: Ganado on June 19, 2010, 07:13:09 am: This sounds great to me, as it is harder to enslave a person than kill it in most cases because you always get that <10% critical hit right when you don't want it.
Title: Re: Taming Brahmins and enslaving people should give exp.
Post by: skiylaroso on June 19, 2010, 07:23:41 pm: Yes to this
Brahmin herding takes effort, i might aswell kill them than try and herd them for caps, since their hides are actually worth something, so Herding as of now is kinda pointless xD atleast give me some bonus for when i catch them :D

Post by: GroeneAppel on June 19, 2010, 07:25:33 pm: yesyesyesyes,

Slavers really need this! It's so annoying that you don't get xp for the used ammo and hard work. Slaving is actually far harder than killing your target. Remember you aren't allowed to crit as it will kill the potential slave. you have to be carefull with shooting etc.

Post by: gordulan on June 19, 2010, 07:33:54 pm: and you have to be alone or else your merc will go medieval on the slaves ass.

This is the exact formula for xp gains

Post by: Michaelh139 on June 24, 2010, 06:25:36 am: I have no idea how this idea died so quickly since its discussion boom was decently large so is it rejected or accepted?
Title: Re: Taming Brahmins and enslaving people should give exp.
Post by: BurntAluminum on June 24, 2010, 06:40:12 am: If I remember correctly at some point herding brahmin did hail about 75 EXP, but I could be wrong about this.

If you don't want people to herd and kill, though, I would suggest tamed brahmin give no EXP for kills.

Edit: Also, I'm not sure if this is already available to you, but there's a butcher in modoc, anyone who has the guts can get their cow butchered in exchange for some money.

LOL. Or a slave for jerky :]

It should be implemented, it would make charisma builds even in the wastelands a bit...

Post by: Enzo on June 25, 2010, 01:20:17 am: I totally agree with this idea... in present time, you can hunt for slaves, but whats the profit? Slaves are poor in fights and for one slave you can earn just about 200 caps if you sell one... not really profitable business, and some xp for enslaving will give some boost to this profession...

Slaves with plasma grenades are pretty funny
