Content List VU 9.0

I agree to most of the other replies : The vu content sounds very very nice, except for the 2pec decay when equipping/removing armor or clothing.

If this applies to L armors too, just think about the real cost to equip/remove for example an Infiltrator armor set : 7 x 2pec tt x markup. I don't know exactly what the markup is, but suppose it's 500%, then the actual cost to equip the set would be 7 x 2pec x 500% = 70pec... Removing it again would cost another 70pec. Armors with a 1k % markup would cost 2.8 ped just to equip and remove after the hunt...

MA, please think carefully about this, I think people could start using armor less, especially L armors, so in the end you might lose more on less armor decay than you profit on the equipping fee...

But (to end with a positive note), very nice features apart from this one, I'm looking forward to it !
 
Please oh please delay the launch of this VU universe, so no foots are being dropped, and attach footguard the models to all current shinguard models. (change shinguards into greaves) before the first is dropped otherwise its no turning back.

and what the hell? 7 armor plates? the 6 are now nice stored in the inv, the 7th would be the ugly duck!

Oh and speaking of armor decay for equiping, if I want to change plates I have to unequip the armor? (i.e. Nemesis +3B for drones Nemesis + 5A for trox)

MA stole my :twocents: and they will again and again and again.

Have to agree with everyone on the 2pec thing:(

If you count how many times you change your armor for repairs after each hunt it adds up per player not even thinking about the whole community doing it ...

everyone says 14 pec taking in account 7 armor pieces , but what if it is 28 pec per repair? Unequip to put in repair terminal / repair / equip repaired armor again.
thats 2 equip actions which equals 28 pecs.

As someone else stated before , MA this "feature" nullifies your whole VU which was so promising to shitnuts. :(

As for the petition , I am in for it , not that it will do anything probably but its worth a try ...

Well I'm going to make my ava cease hunting, crafting, mining and just wear the orange death row suit in protest until they end the change clothes/armour tax.

Back to just trading for me.
 
Fingers crossed on looting some high level footguards - the prices are going to be astronomical.

Charging us to change armours and clothes - that saves on server lag??????? that simply means another calculation by the server to deduct the value from the tt value of the item - BRILLIANT MA !!!!!!

This VU has soooo many nice features - why spoil it by adding a kicker in there :mad: reminds me of the pickpocket who distracts you with one hand while taking your wallet with the other
 
impress and unimpresses

a 2 pec per item tax on equiping armour and clothes OMG I, way uncool :rolleyes:

at least we should be paying for a button to do the equiping for us!
 
don't forget you can now repair with attachement, so you won't have to remove it detach plate then repair, but just hit the button 'repair armor' . i think it will not be counted as a 'remove'
 
Also, the Umbranoid species have disappeared from Calypso for the time being.

NOOOOOooooo.....!!!:cdevil:
 
:eek::rolleyes::eek:
Couldn't wait to see it.. am very curios to see new coloring system.

But decay for equipping clothes/armour!?
Pleaaaase NOoooooooooooooooo!!!
 
:scratch2:
Coloring
The coloring system has been enhanced. Improvements include:
Paint Cans have been redesigned and new colors introduced.
A saturation slider has been introduced to the coloring process to allow better control over the final color.
Lower skilled participants may attempt difficult colors but with lower success rate. A warning message is displayed when attempting to use colors above recommended skill level.
'Success Rate' and 'Professional Requirement' information for all colors has been added in the Item Info panel.
Coloring using Paint Cans with difficulty matching your skills will give a learning period skill increase bonus.
The success rate has been revised to better reflect skill level and amount of paint cans used.
The amount of paint used when coloring will affect coloring results.
Most of the Paint Can value is now transferred to the colored item.
Items no longer deteriorate when colored.

Participants with Paint Cans in their inventory may notice that their amounts have changed. No loss of value has been incurred as the system was rebalanced to provide the same output from fewer cans.

The words "Uncolored" and specific leather type names have been removed from Item names. The information can be found in the Item Info stats instead.

Me thinks he heard about that a few months ago......

Top Left: The Drop-Box for your item, it also shows the coloring or beaching status as you set the colors or apply the color.

Below that: The three colorfields for colors. Here you can drop the colors you have (up to 200 cans of each color) or choose a color from the "ColorBox" which will give you an idea of the possible result.

The "ColorBox" will hold every in EU available color. If you choose one color from the ColorBox, you can´t process the coloring, but you get a preview.

The sliders are used to if you don´t want the color to be at 100%. You can set the sliders for each color in 20 steps (since 20 cans are max. at the moment)

"Needs: 20/200" means for this colorsetting (100%) you will need 20 cans of 200 cans you have put into the field.
"Needs: 5/---" means you have selected a color from the ColorBox and you would need 5 cans.

"Color" and "Bleach" is just what you think....

On the right side you can see a preview of the item you color on you Avatar (if cloths).

The green message-box gives you all the infos you need. If you color it will also tell you how good you have been. For example it will tell you that you got: Field 1: 20/20 (100% sucess); Field 2: 9/10 (90%); Field 3: 0/5 (0%)

You can color and bleach until all your cans are used up. So no more stupid non-stop drag&drop if skilling, but no "autoskilling" either since you need to "refill" after 200 cans are used up.

If you can´t color because you don´t have the skills, you can exatly write down which colors should be used and how many cans for each field.

gimmi full shadow MA, ah well yes, i know, mine is a bit different :D
 
Nice work MA!

VU 9.0 looked realy great when now finally aproaching the harbour.
Byt WHY THE H*LL did you have to blow a huge hole in the hull with the 2pec decay thingie and sink the whole ship???????????:mad:

It was all looking and going so well, and then you go off and pull this idiotic stunt...for no good reason.

The new gfx better be soooo damn good to outweight this one..:mad:

...i'm gonna storm off now and go sit in a corner and sulk for an hour. :cry:

The fee is ridiculous and unfairly puts an extra burden on women who have more clothes options than men and will probably bear extra costs because of this 2 pec PER ITEM TAX PER EQUIP!

+rep for this. :laugh:


Unhappy with the decay on clothing / armor same as I think most people. I will have to decide what armor/clothing to wear then stick with it.
 
Speaking from personal opinion.

Its so shitty. now i got a armor missing one non existant part. and now footguards???. I dont got 10-20k ped to buy another part just like that. for me its outright SUCKS that i now am forced to be unprotected one place. and my armor looks total incomplete missing the boots.

2 pec armor change fee... are you total stupid?. Your game already has a RIPOFF" reputation. This one sure adds to it. Loots sucked already. Now lets make them lose even bigger. let them pay for changing clothes which was a free feature before. NOooo We want ped for everything people does in this game!!!

Sucks sucks suck. Fuck new graphics when the game aint worth playing because it cost too much. Man i can't even change my clothes for free. i'll have to pay peds to see my garderobe through one time only.

a big LOL is all i got.
 
well, cool about coloring, but armor..

As my local watherman says, 'tie down your kitties, its going to get crazy.'
 
Charging for equipping armor and clothes ?

What's next, charge for equipping a gun, using a tp, speaking, making a team ??

I can safely say if that feature will not be removed again, I will def. sell out and quit this game or at least return to orange jumpsuits and no armor ...

I've played a good while now and with every VU (no exceptions) this game (MA) became greedier and greedier but this VU topps it ...

And don't even get me started on finding those fecking additional armor parts to complete my sets ...

Well done MA ... NOT !!

ILW
 
Way to go Mindark, changing clothing costs money? I just lost all interest in my avatar looks, soon a big part of the community will be running around in the free underwear, good luck in attracting new players into a game that looks like that...

You better start planning on a miniupdate to remove the 2pec fee on armor and clothes, the community will not tolerate this. You've gone too far.

And the foot armor better be pretty damn common for all armor sets, or better yet, make shins into armor boots or greaves, thus removing the unnecessary new armor part... If my new avatar could do facial impressions, it would look something like:
:( :confused: :mad: :bomb:

Hmmm...

It forces some people to quit - so less avatars on server/area = less lag ;)

Please note that you inadvertantly added a smiley to the end of this line
 
One other thing I just tought of in case of the 2 pec fee which proves again on how low they can go considering their playerbase.

So they fill our minds with great looking armors and clothes. In doing this they know that everyone wants to try on every armor they own and every clothe part they own. For example in my case that means like 10 different armor sets , Not clothes, don't have to many. But this means a lot of equipping and un-equipping which equals a lot of peds cause I know I am not the only one who wants to check all this out.
A PUNCH BELOW THE BELT MA , this has to be undone !

User pays...

Once again, the shine is taken off a VU by just a few things.

Footguards? What the hell do we need these for? I hav a nice pair of Jungle Walkers - purchased not only for hanging out in populate areas, but also because they look good with my armour. And now, they will be covered up? Totally unecessary.

And the decay cgarge for equipping which has been mentioned 100 times already - I guess this VU has cost MA a lot in overtime and extra coders - and guess who's footing the bill...?

A cynical penny pinching exercise - talk about treating your customer base like a bunch of idiots :(

The rest of the VU looks great - but these two aspects tarnish it somewhat?

And nothing for PVP? I thought a certain exploit might have been addressed...
 
Etopia normal comment on VU list :

Wait and see.

Today will be exeptional.
So far n the VU list seems very great to me.A lot of long waited feature on the way + lots of change for clothe , coloring .... That i ask since years.For sure the kind of VU i would embrace my arm open with a big smille on face.
Until i read about the 2 ped decay.
I think its sad , to spend so much time improving all the armor , clothe ... and then tax people when they use it.
Sadly , this will result in lower use of clothe and armor.
People will just wear their armor and never remouve it, and so reduce a lot the demand of clothe.
People wont change clothe so often , I know many many people who are used to change clothe 3 4 or even more time a day.

Not speaking about the cost for me , to make player test a clothe...
While coloring will maybe be better , evrytime a customer will whant try new color , at eatch try it will cost.

Will the clothe decay when i equip my shopkeeper ?


I know , I know , 2 pec is not so much for player ... but i dont think MA really need those little pecs to keep the game running.
But i am sure , since they did the effort to make new garments , they need to have nice looking avatar.Those 2 pec , will reduce a lot the diversitie in the game , as people will tend to change less often their looks.

MA , you did take new fee for auction , and for shop.
You take fee from bank.
You make new armor part that will decay.
...
please dont turn that game in an "evryone in armor" game.

Change clothe was the only things people was abel to do for free.
Is this mean you will tax chatting next VU ?
 
In an attempt to stave off a lag increase, a deterioration of 2 PEC per item has been introduced when equipping garments and armor. Increased realism will make clothes look more worn as their condition diminishes.

I agree with you NoBion. Armor change fee is something realy *******!
 
New VU looks good so far exept the stupid 2 Pec decay from equip/remove armor and clothes. Im outta words really....... how the heck do they come up with these idiotic ideas. Seems like they want us to quit playing and squeese the last pec`s outta us. Well im back to orange for sure ...... :mad:

A lot of nice things in this VU it seems...

But ffs to force on us an extra armor piece and to charge money to change armor / clothes...I had to read that BS a few times to make sure I read it correctly. Thats some messed up shit MA...

Someone else suggested this in the thread, why not just change the shins to look like boots, or something...

I read "2 pec/item everytime you equip garments and armor"

If it is to reduce lag, does MA mean that you'll be charged only if you wear clothes&armor at the same time ? And not everytime you equip one or the other ? Either way, this sucks :mad:
