Yep. Another one.
This one is for everywhere! DZ, LZ, Incursions, UG.
I'm going to be controversial here and suggest another new currency.
Reward cache credits. (RCC)
As a way of balancing loot and taking away SOME of the frustration of dying in the DZ have Named mobs across the LZ and DZ drop Reward Cache Credits instead of loot. These can then be traded in at the vendors in all the safe houses and checkpoints across the LZ and DZ.
DZ named mobs would drop more of these credits, but they would need to be partially extracted (or in other words you could elect to just leave the DZ, but you would only retain a portion of the credits collected, whereas extraction would allow a player to retain all of them). Getting killed by another player or mob or having an extraction hijacked would only result in a partial loss of RCCs. (The portion you would otherwise extract).
Each safe house or checkpoint would have a selection of Reward Caches that had differing % chances of granting specific loot or loot types. (Example 45% chance of 1.1 gear set item or 80% chance of AR).
These could be on a random rotation or specific safe houses could specialise. (Stuyvesant for higher chance 1.1 gear set caches, Gramercy for ARs).
Higher difficulty would reward more credits. Higher GS caches would cost more credits. And players could only purchase Caches at the same or one level higher than their GS. (eg. Same thresholds as the UG caches and from season pass supply drops). Also higher the chance of the specific loot the higher the cost.
Thanks, but I think I'm better off sticking to my day job.Originally Posted by SLAYFARER Go to original post![]()
Only if they were the good chaches, and not the ones that only drop 204 and 240 stuff.
Plus they need to stop dropping so many pistols, nomads, lone stars, and crappy shotguns and rifles.
I went into the dz for the first time last night because the drops in the underground are so bad. I am level 32 in UG and have gotten maybe 1 piece that was an upgrade. Oh, well I guess I did get another upgrade to my x45, lmao.
Anyways, the DZ drops were not any better. Now I have been a big supporter for this game of the forums, but am starting to get burnt out on never getting anything good to drop. I can live with the bugs and glitches, but not being rewarded is getting old fast. I hope this is fixed very soon.
That's kind of the idea. Players could purchase the caches that were weighted toward the loot type they wanted.Originally Posted by Birdman2796 Go to original post
That sounds promising! Thanks for the info.Originally Posted by godhelpme89 Go to original post
