First off, very fun area. Not bad at all, though I too would enjoy merps being added
.
Ok, I've been playing there the last 3-4 days, and this is how it's gone:
Day 1 - (75 ped spent) 5k ammo & 25 seismic bombs, came back 55 ped down
Day 2 - (75 ped spent) 5k ammo & 25 seismic bombs, came back even :-|
Day 3 - (150 ped spent) 10k ammo and 50 seismic bombs, the mining I came out 27 ped ahead - but the hunting I came out WAY behind... made less than 17 PED on loot dropped...
Day 4, tonight - (100 ped spent) 5k ammo and 50 seismic bombs, got good loots for a little while, then some shabby loots, then no loots. I know that I broke even on the mining so far (about 53-ish ped TT return), and right as I was about to log for dinner, I got a global! Yay me!... but STUPID me didn't have PE Ass. running, so I didn't get the screenshot when I hit the key
.
It was me and a friend in a team and we got a 63 ped global (the team name was Gimme a G-L-O-B-A-L , guess it helped some
), I got a 95% shogun thigh (m) piece off of an exa provider, and my friend got one of those crusho fist things as well, and about 12 ped each to boot. Was a pretty good find, especially since I'm in the process of saving for a shogun suit
.
Overall I'd say loot is EXTREMELY hit or miss there, I can't find a single constant on how to stay positive, except when I find like 5 mining claims in a row - then I come out slightly ahead... well, at least for a little while...
As for suggestions on improvement - MORE AMMO, lol! I can't tell you how many times I've had to run (or tp) back to New Oxford just to get ammo! I would *strongly* suggest putting EVERYTHING from 1k ammo chunks all the way up to 10k ammo chunks in there... I had to sell ammo to two different people who couldn't even make it out of that land area, but didn't have enough ped to buy any of the 4 5k ammo chunks you had in there.
Then when I went back an hour later to buy one of them, your shopkeeper was completely out of the medium energy cells :*(. That's when I logged, as I only have enough Mind Essence for a one-way trip back to New Oxford :-|.
On side note (forgive me if this is totally newb to ask, I am clueless about land areas) - can you get one of those big mobile stations planted on your land? Like what they have in some of the southern land areas? Those would be HELLACIOUSLY useful, especially when both of my a103 amps break and they need repair (about the only reason I head back to New Oxford... the other being I'm so heavily loaded down with loot/ingots that I am in the yellow, lol!).
