DW: Scavenger

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Scavenger gangs will be running in the same game world, and able to do town events and scouts alongside 'non scavenger' gangs. However, they will not have access to the marketplace or to money. They will be able to perform barter-style trades but only with other Scavenger gangs. It needs some working out, but that's the core mechanism as I currently see it. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jul 14, 2011, 5:02 pm

Juris Hessians Darkwind Guru Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Members Posts: 1,706 Joined: Sep 16, 2010 Yeay, Sam is back - hope you had a good vac DW Scav - Sounds like a good experiment to me, especially if it brings people back. As for increased perma - if we're going to do this I say it should also apply to NPCs - I've always thought it was strange that raiders would have brand-new gear. There should be random perma on NPC vehicles too ......................... vet wv pvp1 pvp5 pvp4 race1 zom pvp2 deathrce1 pvp3 combat1 Posted Jul 14, 2011, 5:37 pm

I don't think scav should be able to scout with non scav,or against non scav, since you can "trade" using the loot windows or simply "surrendering"cars to them in either situation. Other than that, yay I guess. ......................... vet wv paintladder ww0,3,0 Posted Jul 14, 2011, 5:52 pm

And Sam, I understand you're only one guy, can only do so much, yada yada, so I hope you know I appreciate what you do do. I'm just rather jaded these days. ......................... vet wv paintladder ww0,3,0 Posted Jul 14, 2011, 6:09 pm

I would seriously hope that anyone playing a "hardcore" version would NOT exploit anything like that, as it would defeat the purpose of playing hardcore in the first place. ......................... marshal vet gateautumn wv e2g0,1,0 Posted Jul 14, 2011, 6:12 pm

Diezel Wasteland Patrol Irregular Sunday Driver Merchants Faction Group: Members Posts: 43 Joined: Feb 5, 2011 Greetings, What about making existing or new zone/towns south-east or nearby the aurora (for background purpose) with this "hardcore" mode. Reason would be to keep the game as it is for the "starter" zones, not impacting newcomers (sub or un-sub), with same "low level" loot, and give the opportunity for the wealthier and old time players to have more challenge, since in my opinion those are the one who will risk their gang. This could also come with new chassis, ganger, creatures and whatnot. Regards, Diezel. ......................... vet wv Posted Jul 14, 2011, 7:43 pm

*Grograt* Grograts Gonads Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 8,377 Joined: Oct 5, 2008 this will have to be a ' choice ' for the membership. those not wanting to partake will and should still have DW as it is now, so changing southern towns etc will be a no go. this will be a hard project for Sam. ......................... vet marshal wv community Posted Jul 14, 2011, 7:56 pm

Can't both worlds not coexist better together, like at the end of the scout, the scavenger(s) get their own loot screen with the massive perma, more ammo? etc... can't weapon nerfing be applied to each player, instead of the whole event? as well as whatever else, radiation storms whatever? ......................... vet marshal wv pvp3 zom circuit2 pvp1 cont Posted Jul 14, 2011, 8:40 pm

FireFly Anarcho-Pumpkin Privateers Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 5,468 Joined: Mar 3, 2008 Tinker, that would make for incredibly confusing events... Normal player 1 - Shoot dammit!!! HC player 1 - I cant, radiation jammed my guns! Normal Player 2 - What the fudge is radiation!? Here is the thing, I think Hardcore players should have their scouting split off entierly from normal players. If you want a normal scout, HC players could jump on their normal account instead, given that we dont make people "Choose" one. Either way, under no circumstance should a hardcore player be able to play under "Normal" rules, I think at the most "normal" players can join a hardcore scout under the hardcore rules, but no way further than that. To keep the challenge up for the HC players, and things fair  :) ......................... vet wv zom gateautumn deathrceL1 elmsautumn pvp1 pvp2 sssc raceL1 e2g combatL1 santa1 pvp3 gwextrav ww circuit32,18,0 Posted Jul 14, 2011, 8:49 pm

Juris Hessians Darkwind Guru Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Members Posts: 1,706 Joined: Sep 16, 2010 I'm not scouting with a bunch of irradiated 'Scabs' rolling in junker cars with half loads of ammo anyway... What Chase said - exploiting means you actually gain an advantage - swapping loot cars with non-Scab players would just bring you up to 'normal', not give an advantage. Of course, if Scabs get training bonuses then maybe, but I just can't see this happening. People who would switch to hardcore mode aren't going to want to cheat since it would make this option meaningless. ......................... vet wv pvp1 pvp5 pvp4 race1 zom pvp2 deathrce1 pvp3 combat1 Posted Jul 14, 2011, 8:55 pm

*Tinker* BibleThumpers Anonymous Darkwind Guru Mutants Faction Group: Marshals + Contributors Posts: 4,546 Joined: Aug 1, 2008 FF here's the thing, we got to keep both groups of players (not game modes) playing together, if it's easy to just flip a switch to join the CH mode then i think that's great. I don't want to join HC mode and have nobody to play with, or have to wait 2 weeks to play with some friends. That's what's the most important to me at least ......................... vet marshal wv pvp3 zom circuit2 pvp1 cont Posted Jul 14, 2011, 9:07 pm

FireFly Anarcho-Pumpkin Privateers Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 5,468 Joined: Mar 3, 2008 The way I see it it would be great if you could simply ask in the lobby for a HC mode scout, those who wanted it could effortlessly switch to the HC mode, or the other way around. Like the flick of the switch, maybe not even having to change the account inside the client, sort of tying two gangs to one account. Then again, that sounds almost TO convenient, heh ......................... vet wv zom gateautumn deathrceL1 elmsautumn pvp1 pvp2 sssc raceL1 e2g combatL1 santa1 pvp3 gwextrav ww circuit32,18,0 Posted Jul 14, 2011, 9:28 pm Last edited Jul 14, 2011, 9:28 pm by FireFly
