Wanna-be Urqa dude, quit spamming the thread: this thread is meant to be for asking Jeff about production and development-related questions, not to whine. Go ahead and whine, but please make your own thread for it.

[OFFTOPIC]

I am not whining.

And Jeff can ignore/delete my post if he considers it spam.

I am asking legitimate questions, you really have no say to tell me to quit spamming since you are:

A: not a forum mod
B: just a regular player like me, only difference is taht you play longer and you have more credits/items then me.

[ONTOPIC]

I was talking to a friend of mine who used to be a god in SS, told me about how much exploited cash is running around amongst old time players. Such as the Termite Bug, the Ragnaroks being capable, and all kinds of exploits.

So Jeff, instead of just making it harder for us newer guys, what are you going to do about this?

I find it really easy to make money really.


When I kill AI's they often drop lots of crap to sell to AI bases. I could easily make a bill in a week and i'm 300 if I put my mind to it.

You should be raping BG's/Picks by your level, they're bound to give even more than thorns/gammas give.

I am killing BG's and Picks.

Wanna know what they are dropping?

Minor Augs, Basic Augs and Std Augs.

When i do a DG i get crappy BPs which no one buys at all.

Std augs sell to an AI base for several mill.

If you can't kill a BG a minute kill lower level stuff till you can.

Question for Jeff

What do you plan to do for players who want to do PvE but dont want to waste time on PvP?

I have made a couple suggestions in the past to change the PvP system a bit so it's easier for those who want to avoid it to do so. None of them have been accepted though.
I still belive that to make the game appealing to more people it needs to work both for those who like PvP and for those who doesnt.

The exception will always be bases though, it has to always be possible to attack bases.

Getting involved in emp runs should include PvP and of course there should be team wars. What I would like to see is a level protection based on team strength which would work both ways. PvP should be between teams of equal strength. Not big teams wiping out small ones and not individual players sabotaging for teams.
I would also like to see a limit to team sizes so we would see more teams of equal strength and also a reason for those teams to compete against eachother instead of working together.

Luckily for you all Im not the one in charge though

thats what I do and I have:

rosy
alby aug
11b credits (atm)
cool gear

and I polay 1-3 hours a day TOPS (usually its like 2 hrs rly...)

my not-a-question

you mentioned changes to w4?

Well then this luck based dropping system is broken for some players.

I might aswell make another account and see if i get better droprates...

Why don't you determine player level by the gear on them? Or at least a PVP level? Like, level 500 in a DS with a jackhammer would have a higher pvp level than say ralf cart in a porp with an LC

Because that is protecting the weaker players too much, and not giving them an incentive to get stronger when they're protected by the system.

Then weak players get owned by other weak players and wanna get stronger

Jeff, you didn't aswer my question!

Hardly, weak players most likely wont fight each other.
