Palla chunks, Floating shop and the DMZ.

This is another idea I had for pirate map 5-3. First of all I think all players would be happier with a few bigger chunks of palladium once in awhile that were worth more. Secondly, many players continue to fall victim to being a sitting duck in the palladium field. Without being able to have clan members or outfit members jump to the map to help them - they get popped easily if they are not a stronger player or taken by surprise. Maybe they are afk which would be their own fault.. lol Also the floating ammo shop would be a nice addition but changes would be needed to cut down on added lag. All pirate maps are slightly too large in my opinion and could be made a bit smaller. Other maps that are far too large are 4-4 and 4-5. It's nice to have a big epic map, but load time sucks for players with crappy computers, not enough ram or cheesy internet connections. The development team could easily cut back on much of the lag and load times in dark orbit by simply re-sizing 4-4 and 4-5, re-sizing the pirate maps slightly smaller and dropping a few aliens from spawning in 4-5. This would also leave new room for a couple new maps like X-9 and X-10 or 6-1 , 6-2 and 6-3 which would be three new pvp maps. As for the new dmz I am proposing in 5-3, it's not totally necessary, but would be nice to have a small safe area for lower level players and players who do not have a clan to help them. The area would be very minimal though only a small area in the middle and bottom of the palladium field.

 

I think, that it could be good idea to add these shops elsewhere also.
But i think that it would be too easy to use this small DMZ as safe zone for weaker players.

But no worries... I have solution for this.

So, the DMZ is constantly moving. This is good, because then those who Afk. cant benefit DMZ, but if you aren't Afk, you can just follow the shop, and that way stay safe, while pet is doing all the job.

Solution for these is to add docking system to shop, that allows you to stay at DMZ when you are doing shopping, so you don't fall back from shop.
Also, when you dock your ship to shop, pet cant use gears, to prevent wrong kind of shop using.

Also, to prevent weaker ones to use this as safe palladium collecting spot, pet shuts down when you have followed the shop 20 second's and haven't docked your ship.

I also like your palladium chunk idea, but i think 17 for one might be too much.

I suggest several sizes.
Worth of 1 palladium. (Common, and already exists)
Worth of 2 normal palladium. (Semi common.)
Worth of 5 normal palladium. (Rare.)
Worth of 7 normal palladium (Ultra rare.)

But before this update, we need better rewards for alien kills or new aliens, with better rewards compared to it's strenght (Hard one), since i think it's already too profitable to collect palladium VS killing aliens.

Very good idea putting the dmz on the moving shop! Awesome concept.

 

Whoa...baby!

 

I like it but I dont like it either. 5-3 is not a demil section, it is supposed to be a challenge for players to get palladium, so the demil thing gets a HELL NO from me lol. BUt the flying shop sounds great, i think that does help but I am wondering about the lag it might create ya know. Aside from the first issue i mentioned, i like it alot.

 

Also to add with these pally chunks u would have to wait a certain amount of seconds for you to collect like with booty boxes where you have to wait 5 seconds in order to collect

 

Yeah I thought about that too, would create some added lag or stickiness to the map.

 

Awesome!

 

1 bye 1 = yummy...gonna be a UfatE...in no time

 

How about if this DMZ activates, when you dock your ship to shop, and deactivates when you leave? + All those requirements i suggested to be added to this docking system.
And of course, you cant activate docking, when in battle.​

 

Im still kinda side ways about it, maybe because Im UFE, and I like to hunt, but I guess that sounds good, or maybe it can be a timed DMZ where the only purpose is to get the ammo and stuff and not to pally safely

 

Think of us FE that aren't equipped to hunt, Bro.

This follows the same-company base DMZ the same way, while your in it, your protected. As soon as you leave, your dead.
Would be pretty nice to have this DMZ in 5-3. (If you dont get what same-company base is, its basically your company home base)

for the Palladium chunk idea, how does it work? Collect one and you have 17 palla? or you have to trade it at 5-2 via the sell resources tab icon?

 

It works as counting as 17 regular rocks of palladium which actually wouldn't be much of a difference as long as you only place a few bigger chunks randomly here and there amongst all the other regular palladium rocks - like 6 - 7 every time the whole field respawns. You would still need to trade all the counted rock collection as a whole in 5-2.

 

I like the palladium idea thumbs up!

 

One word:

Profit.

Make it easier to get palla, make Profit go down.

Bigpoint is a company, a business, not a Swing in a park.

 

To have ,,BP" an advantage , I suggest to be a chance like 10-25 % when you collect a palla chunk to receive 10000 - 50000 dmg because that chunk is ,,broken" .

 

That's exactly what i was thinking, but just different method.

Last part i decided to change little.

+You cant run to it in order to get safe, if you are already attacked.

​

 

It could be interesting idea, but not possible. BP needs money , that wont give them thousands of $. So they wont do something like this

(p.s. just wasted 250k uri for 14 alpha parts - beta and gamma ready in hangar)

 

for one they dont need money since there raking up over £300 atleast every day from gb1 alone, to be honest i think there basicly stealing my cash although its cheap you buy to much from addiction
