#962371 Increasing BB activity :)

Posted by yotwehc on 20 April 2016 - 00:10

A bounty hunter clears a bounty. It isn't personal, it's just business. Strictly a job.  A merc takes money to stomp for a person/guild who doesn't have the friends/allies to do it properly. They are involving themselves in a fight that isn't theirs. For me, that's the difference. If I stomp a player, it's for my guild/allies and not for the free crap people are willing to pay. Not everyone will agree with that, but that is how some of us see it. That's why I hate mercs. That's why I am so against them, and that is why I have been known to help people/guilds who get attacked by mercs.

 

We deal alot with what I call 'one man crusaders'. Players get bored and decide maybe it'll be fun to go after the pvp'ers for a while. We respond to their attacks, and they complain we're the bullies. All we're doing is defending our guild/allies. The game was set up from the start to be able to do that. Some guilds decided leveling was more important. Others decided that defending themselves and allies was more important. Both sides are fine with what they decide to do. But stop acting like we're the bad guys. Pvp is just business for us. It's what we do. It's not personal.

A merc stomps... it's not personal, it's just business. It would seem you have it backwards as mercs have no loyalty for any guild or ally so it's less personal than the reasons you stomp :)

 

I don't hate you... you hate mercs... which one is personal?

 

I'm filling the void that has been missing in this game. I have met some like minded folks and a LOT of grateful players.

 

Wth! I'm derailing my own topic! Let's tie it back... so if mercs get folks to hate them, it will cause more delevel parties thus increasing BB activity! WIN!

So my suggestion is to encourage more Merc like behavior. Nothing personal. just business and more BB activity :)

*broken record warning*
As more and more folks reach eoc composing, the less will feel inclined to go for the top. I know I don't try anymore. I don't hit crits 1x1 anymore. I would like to pay farmers again, kill crits 1x1, go and farm commons but I don't need to. Add 1 more level. Make it take enough xp (lvl 1-60 worth of xp) so it's not easy. Only new not "overpowered" composed skill you get is lvl 100 artisan bandit. Will everyone try for this? Probably not since it's such a huge investment for one buff. Will some try and waste a ton of commons? Yes. I would ;p

They've changed other medals and watered them down. Wasn't the chest medal pretty difficult to get way back when?


#961697 Missing Flash Sales

Posted by yotwehc on 03 April 2016 - 01:10

I need to make a small tweak to the code to make a Bounty Ticket flash sale work, but sure :)

 

Do you think maybe 150 Bounty Tickets instead of 100 during the flash sale would be good?

So can we also get protection as a flash sale then ;-p




#961093 Arena Potions...

Posted by yotwehc on 22 March 2016 - 14:36

O_o complain about how OP composing pots are then suggest even more OP pots? I would suggest some of the new skills that were planned but never implemented. You can still see the names in the buff market. Keep the levels low: lvl 100 artful bandit? Since they will be the only place you can get them for now...


#960851 Travelling Composing

Posted by yotwehc on 18 March 2016 - 04:12

I vote A. Works well for Titan hunting. Why not composers? :)


#960647 Scavenging Caves!

Posted by yotwehc on 14 March 2016 - 00:58

It's funny how some criticize others for divulging incorrect information then do it themselves. lol.


#960450 Equipment and Composing

Posted by yotwehc on 08 March 2016 - 15:19

you wont learn it in your guild...Simple as that no one there to teach you. Further you need to help yourself Study and understand experiment all game buffs have descriptions you need to memorise them all...then you need to combine that with equivalent knowledge of gear combinations..

O_O I guess I don't want to learn THAT much. lol. I will continue to get owned. At the very least, I'm building up the ego of those low level guys and they are happy :)




#960392 Seasonal Titan Spawn Rate

Posted by yotwehc on 07 March 2016 - 23:52

Who told you this? It's just an educated guess... There is a tremendous amount more of these even for just 1 extra week.

BG did. I woke up in the wee hours of the morning hoping for another shot at a seasonal. Several hours and no spawn and I lamented in world chat. BG said somethings to the effect of it being out for an extra week so stop complaining. ;)


#960390 Seasonal Titan Spawn Rate

Posted by yotwehc on 07 March 2016 - 23:40

To answer your original question, the spawn rate wasn't changed but the event duration was. Typically they are out for 2 weeks but this last event had them out and about for 3 weeks.


#960358 Seasonal Titan Spawn Rate

Posted by yotwehc on 07 March 2016 - 15:49

Lol. Yeah. 1,100 fsp and 600 fsp for these epics are too low in price. Something must be done! At least it's not like I already got mine so let's make it harder for others. Oh wait...


#959894 New GvG idea

Posted by yotwehc on 28 February 2016 - 09:47

Doesn't this just mean that twice as much GRP gets into the game, and the value of GRP decreases faster (assuming I accept your opening hypothesis that there is already an oversupply of GRP in the game)?

Or they defend in earnest (following your second point) and even more GRP comes into the game and so it devalues even faster.

No. If I read correctly, both guilds are awarded 10/15/20 based on current rules if all attacks are completed regardless of win or loss. The suggestion is to give defending guilds extra incentive to fight back and complete all the hits before the attacking guild is done. If the defending guild does this regardless of winning or losing, they steal some of the RP from the attacking guild. So the attacking guild was suppose to get 10/15/20 but they will instead get the reduced amount which is transferred and added to the defending guild so the total RP distributed is the same. Hope it makes sense.

EP. Have to agree with egami. During seasonals, your guild cleans up. So instead of having your whole guild chase the Titan, you can do it on your own assuming no one else has that pot. The result would be the same. You would be on CD and have to wait 7 days. Now if there was no CD, then your argument holds water and this is absolutely horribly OP pot.

Regardless thanks for donating. Now I want me this pot knowing what it does. ;)


#959713 We should Get Our Fsps Or Gold Back?

Posted by yotwehc on 24 February 2016 - 14:48

I only suggest that because when I am looking at bounty board I do not see pages on bounty board and this makes me wonder why.  The 48 hrs at least from my view does not give pages that I have seen in the past when I received my bounty board medal.   :rolleyes:

I would not use the word absurd lightly but looking at bounty board currently is absurd seeing no bounties or less than half a page. To be honest have a what few players on with power potions waiting out for the time of their bounty to expire is absurd. 

 

I have seen bounty board busier than this when I first started and remember seeing no less than 3 pages full of bounties when I first started. 

 

I look at bounty board these days in fs and see a very sad sight.  So lets come up with something other than power potion players waiting out the timer and wanting bonus prizes for hitting players getting on the bounty board and try to receive the reward. 

 

Players being attacked from day one of this game has had the right to place bounty of fsp or gold amount what they want on bounty board based on what was required to post bounty and not have any other players stating it had to be only gold or only fsp and higher than what was required to have bounty board activity. So to state the reward has to be greater is not the right answer to the problem. The solution is activity and variety of past days in golden years of bounty board. 

 

I just had an idea since players support 48 hour time frame of bounty board lets take all rewards fsp or gold put in a bone pile when enough is accumulated from bounties beating the 48 hours on bounty board give x amount of bounty board tickets to fs community based on amount  accumulated for free chances to do bounty board. 

 

Just an idea and before we get into this and that only type comments lets make it where there is a solution here pro and con on  idea or on the topic started.  I would love see bounty board active and I mean active like it was in past or in seasons would be a delightful sight to see again.   :lol:  :P

BC - I can give you a little bit of insight as to why folks don't use the BB. In my new merc life (which has been very slow but I shall soon start advertising), I have PM'd a few players.

- The person who gets posted is generally soft cleared by "friends"

- It invites additional attacks in the future.

- It's not worth it - I even offer to pay for the posting + extra :(

 

This is where I agree with you in the genius implementation of the auto bounty during seasons. If they did a survey of just that aspect, I would imagine it would have a very positive result. It would kill my merc'ing career however :(




#959691 Main reasons why you use FSH.

Posted by yotwehc on 23 February 2016 - 20:01

If you can modify a script you can write a stand alone script...Also TBH if your modifying FSH...It would be easier to detect foul-play opposed to a independent script.

And you know this because...? ;p And also, I thought FSH was the only authorized 3rd party script?

 

If the game did not allow any scripts, the chances of cheating are minimized greatly, no?

 

Anyway, I hope we get to the point where no scripts are needed and all the great and useful functions are built into the game.
