DW: Scavenger, is live!

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Darkwind: Scavenger is now live and available to all subscribers! In case you have been living in Vault 101 and don't know what Scavenger is all about, here's a quick run-down: 1. Subscribers can create a Scavenger gang in addition to their regular gang. You switch between the two from your 'My Gang' page. You only control one at a time. You should exit and re-log into the lobby if you are there when you do a switch. 2. Scavenger gangs and regular gangs cannot scout together. 3. Scavenger gangs have a separate marketplace, so they can only trade with other Scavenger gangs. 4. Scavenger gangs have no access to money, and therefore cannot buy or sell with NPCs. 5. Town $ prizes and $ mission fees are replaced, for Scavenger gangs, with ammunition/bulk goods prizes. 6. Perma-damage is much more severe, and NPCs will tend to field damaged equipment 7. You need decent mechanics to fix equipment or armour. For anyone with less than a 50 skill mechanic, you're basically limited to C armour. But the NPCs are too... 8. Scavengers get a 'starter pack' of ammo and bulk goods. They also get free loan cars in place of the normal rental cars. 9. Food/water must be present in your lockups if you want your characters to stay healthy every Friday at the update. This is calculated at 0.7 units (rounded to the nearest whole number) of food and water per character. 10. Scavenger gangs are all full pvp, everywhere, and have no CR-balancing when their squads are matched up against each other. Return encounters are possible in Scavenger. 11. I have probably forgotten stuff so I'll add things here as necessary DW: Scavenger is essentially 'DW: Hardcore' and it will be used as a test-bed for new features which are too controversial for immediate launch into the 'regular' game. Features tested here may, of course, be added to the regular game if they are fit for use there. Some of the features above may be removed/modified in DW:Scavenger if necessary. Apologies to anyone who hates the idea and prophesises the death of the game due to it. I know it won't be everyone's cup of tea, but the majority of feedback about this idea is very positive so I'm hoping to entice back some old players with it, and I believe the overall impact will be to increase the active player-base as well as providing a safe testbed for new features for the main game. I'll be sending out a newsletter in a few days. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Sep 8, 2011, 11:17 am Last edited Sep 8, 2011, 11:39 am by *sam*
