with all the talk about how the deluge of mined materials are ruining the economy, here are a few more of my lame ideas.
(where the hell is my unicorn gun kilgore
).
some of these ideas are not totally original to me, but i am just tossing my ideas and others ideas up against the wall to see what sticks.
my first private mine was purchased about 3 1/2 weeks ago.
i mined it myself.
no slaves.
i bought it because of the rape level increasing at the gecko mine. (more player=more PK)
for 70,000caps i could have bought more material then i mined because of the refresh rate and my real life getting in the way of time i have to play.
what i would do is clear my mine, run to the Klamath mine and do 4 loads to my nearby safe house, then go back to my private mine and clear it out.
2 weeks went by and it played out.
then it hit me to use slaves.
DOH
i started another mine with slaves and had more material than i could ever use.
used a alt and now had 2 mines.
because of timing they were done in one week.
no big deal.
kilgore stated that he would kill slave mining, but too many would be butt hurt.
if slave mining is in fact fucking the economy, fuck slave mining.
but for that to happen either the refresh rate at a private mine would have to increase to the point that when a single miner depleted the last vein, another popped up.
or make a HQ secure mine.
if you kill slave mining, the lazy fucks will just PK more.
another player suggested to get some experience from pounding rocks.
that may give some potential pkers the motivation to pound some rocks on their own.
some have said that getting experience from refining materials/crafting whatever should be reduced.
if i am getting experience from refining ore, i am loosing the knowledge from fighting for experience.
one who's experience is derived from fighting only has the upper hand on those who got it from crafting only.
in other words a straw man argument.
OMG i just got victimized from one of my victims.
as far as im concerned, if you are willing to take the time to pound rocks, you should not be raped.
at least not in a mine.
critters in the mines are a pain in the ass.
its the human critters that are deadly both to your build and to the growth of this game.
so......
let the raging BEGAIN.
ps kilgore,
any chance to make that unicorn gun be switchable between ass or horn?
thanks bro
