Randomised NPC vehicle names

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 I have just rolled out the randomised NPC vehicle names system. A small fraction will retain their build names, but most will get names taken from the Suggestions list. You can add more names from the Suggestions page. <---------------------- over there! ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Oct 1, 2014, 4:12 pm

The wiki is already almost useless except for it's tables and charts, so now the list of NPC vehicles is useless as well. This is considered a improvement? ......................... vet wv pvp5 pvp4 Posted Oct 1, 2014, 9:38 pm Last edited Oct 1, 2014, 9:40 pm by Grimm Sykes

Guardrail Dust Trolls Pedestrian Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Members Posts: 6 Joined: Jun 28, 2010 I'd like to know what the in-game logic is. I always thought the names were ganger slang for what they fought. Like Joe Vicar is in the bar saying, "That Biter beat the crap out of my car near the Oasis." Biter in this case serving as a common build seen and everyone knows what it is. Random names are...what? What Satan's Sisters named a specific car? How do my gangers know what an enemy calls their car? Leaving roleplaying aside, this only seems to harm new players. Veterans can look at a model of a car and have a good idea what they're facing, even with oddball new names (some of which are pretty good). It makes an already obfuscated game even more murky for new folks. ......................... vet wv0,1,0 Posted Oct 1, 2014, 9:45 pm

*Jagged Monkey* Bazooka Joes Darkwind Guru Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 594 Joined: Jul 13, 2010 [sarcasm] Oh noooes!  The NPC's might be more difficult.  Pirates never use a ruse in real life.  They are honest folk and will always tell you what you're up against.  Just ask them.  Where did the term 'gun decking' come from anyway?

Juris Hessians Darkwind Guru Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Members Posts: 1,706 Joined: Sep 16, 2010 Just had an interesting scout in BL with a bunch of re-skinned Polts, a Texas Strongarm, a Quickdraw, a couple Black Rocks, etc. I pretty much knew what they were (and I could've just zoomed in an looked at their weapons if I really wanted to know). The names were entertaining (and bizarre). Really don't know what the King Cobras (Anarcists) were doing naming vehicles Poet Hullaballo and Horatio ... ......................... vet wv pvp1 pvp5 pvp4 race1 zom pvp2 deathrce1 pvp3 combat1 Posted Oct 1, 2014, 10:03 pm

Grimm Sykes Sand xbzyas Darkwind Guru Merchants Faction Group: Banned Posts: 1,372 Joined: Mar 14, 2010 doesnt allow new players to be able to know what kind of engine is in it, and thus they don't know which cars to demolish and which to save for looting, because theres one market for all people playing, 4L engines just became rare and command around $20,000 now. Not being able to tell which cars are 4L and which cars aren't is already upseting new players and making them feel discouraged from playing. and if they feel discouraged, why would they bother poking around and posting about it on the forums? delete, next game ......................... vet wv pvp5 pvp4 Posted Oct 1, 2014, 10:07 pm

*Jagged Monkey* Bazooka Joes Darkwind Guru Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 594 Joined: Jul 13, 2010 4L engines are over rated. If you are worried about killing a 4L only destroy car that can't USE them. Pickups, Voys with unexposed engines, Mooses, Spirits, etc. Easy enough. ......................... vet wv combatL1 semiprocombat marshal elmsautumn northernsummer0,1,0 Posted Oct 1, 2014, 10:30 pm Last edited Oct 2, 2014, 11:44 am by Jagged Monkey

*goat starer* Special Circumstances Darkwind Guru Evan Reds Faction Group: Contributors Posts: 10,907 Joined: Oct 29, 2007 new players only think they need 4l engines because we told them they do... 3.2l engines are fine in phos... this might create more variety ......................... vet wv zom pvp4 cont community deathrceL1 marshal pvp3 pvp2 Posted Oct 1, 2014, 10:37 pm

Not him leaving, just a prophesy of it ruining the game and others leaving. Melodrama. There was one guy, haha. It was all over the lobby last night, the two of them going back and forth about this change and how much they disliked it. Just a wall of spam every time I looked at lobby chat for a while. And, it's not the first time I've seen that same other guy complaining at length like that... so... /shrug Sam, is it possible we could remove Chassis names from the list and ban them from being added? We've already seen cars start popping up with Phoenix and Buccaneer as names, which can be really confusing for communicating with squadmates... "When you say you've got the red Phoenix, do you mean the one with Phoenix as a name, or the one that's a Phoenix chasssis?" ......................... vet wv combat1 combatL1 paintladder pvp5 sssc deathrceL1 pvp4 zom race1 semiprocombat deathrce1 raceL1 pvp3 pvp2 ww pvp1 paintball santa2 gwped4,16,10 Posted Oct 2, 2014, 1:44 pm Last edited Oct 2, 2014, 1:45 pm by d0dger
