March 21 Livestream Questions

[Tsort]

REQUEST
- The new scoring system significantly changed the key grinding flow. Can we up the max keycodes accordingly, from 75 to 150 for example, to make sure no keys are wasted when we get big rewards ?

FOLLOW ON QUESTION
- Trick mentioned "The scrip conversion should just be a resort to get the last few keycodes you want but should also drive people to go to the vendors more often to sell weapons. We wanted to add more traffic to the vendors in that fashion." Just curious as to why you want to add traffic to the vendors?

and a follow-up to those questions -
a) wtf shall we do now with hundreds of thousands (and sometimes millions) of AS? especially if you're all-20's on guns and don't need to mod them too?
b) if trick's intention were to drive us to vendors more often, maybe he could donate a dozen or two inv. slots to every player in game then?

I mentioned about the last stream people asking about dresses and pink outfits...wtf !?

These kinds of questions shouldn`t even be in the equation.

Amen, kind sir... amen!

I remember requesting this in the Alpha Test Server forum when giving feedback on DLC1. I believe it's not as big a deal as it used to be though, as entering or restarting an arena also restores your ammo.

Also, here's a question: what is this elusive threat level ?

I don't have DLC-1, so I don't care about arena's.

But I port to Lighthouse to go other places, and I end up with depleted ammo.

And I port to other locations, or swap loadouts, and I end up with depleted ammo.

I don't want to hear about 'workarounds' at this point of game 'maturity', anymore.
It's ludicrous that a game 2 weeks from one year since rollout is getting away with tiredazzed workarounds for crap they broke, fixed once in a patch, and broke again IN THE NEXT PATCH, last summer.

Tired.
Tired.
Tired.

Tired.

It's only one little aspect of broken carp.
It's getting really old.
We go from one crises to another, and don't fix much of any of 'em with any degree of confidence.
They break the fixes, for dog's sakes.
But we do get lame DLC additions that have not a danged thing to do with lore in the game.
We get Samurais.
We get Colonel Saunders and Civil War weapons against alien charge weapons.
We get grenade-gate.
We get social engineering to push coop play in a game with people stranded in dead shards in a game hemorrhaging population.

Tired.

And I just got disco'd in Mt Tam again.
Just disco'd in Mt Tam running emergencies alone, no SW, no incursions in area, no group....

So mem leak from SW may be A factor, but it aint THE factor.

Here's my question:

When are you going to recognize broken stuff, list the stuff YOU think is broken, compare it to the stuff WE say is broken, and tell us when you're going to FIX the broken stuff?

I second that question. At EGO 5000, what am I supposed to do with my 3 million ark salvage when I don't even have enough scrip to convert it to keycodes?

This kind of questions shouldn`t even be in the equation.

Believe me, I fully agree. Was making a point.

Last weeks live stream, I had to ask a question 1/2 a dozen times, call them out on the bull shyte of passing over my question to continue answering fluffy questions.

With the game in the state its in, I think the only questions that need to be answered are ones that have to do with the mechanics.

All the questions about lore and outfits and whether or not a hellbug pisses green can wait until the game is straightened out. So many issues with the game and ppl are worried about seeing more ****in' wildlife and motorcycles....Please! They can't even keep my existing vehicles from disappearing and you want them to introduce more???

FIX WHAT WE HAVE. Please give us a synopsis of the progress.

Once the bugs are fixed, then you can worry about all the ****in' froo froo that you want.

That's why a couple of gamers "in the know" spent everything before the patch. But I third that question, with a follow-up from the follow up, following all the rest :
Why is there even two different currencies, why not merge both? It wouldn't make that much of a difference game-wise. Even lore-wise, you can buy ark-salvage for scrip, or get scrip from what you scavenge...

While we are asking for an ammo crate at Diablo Lighthouse. How about getting an ammo crate for The Fork as well?

Agreed, anywhere with a fast travel / respawn point should have this.

Also, I know they have been brought up before, Trick said they should be in the loot table. But I still have not seen any of the base Volge Weapons (VOT Volge Typhoon/Thunderer Pistol/Lightning Rifle) in Orange from the WM. The same goes for the VOT Heavy Plasma Repeater. He had to have been misinformed because surely one of these would have popped up at some point by now.
