• Few changes that still should be done to the new BP system
    0 replies, posted
Hello everyone. On the roadmap we can see that long term persistence goal is done. But personaly I think there are still few issues with this system. Here I'm going to adress them and try to present solution of these problems. First of all, elite crates that aren't so "elite". Yes they contain tier 3 items but also tier 2 and 1. Also it seems that they didn't get that change which other crates got, which is 40% chance for an item. You still get 2 "things", no matter if it is a component or an item. I think what is needed to do is adding the same 40% chance for an item mechanism for elite crates as for other crates, removing all the tier 1 items from the drop tabel and give the tier 3 item higher drop chance than tier 2. Next one is research and experimentation. There are two issues with those. First there are item that are cheaper to experiment than research. Here is the list of them: Tier 1: DOUBLE BARREL SHOTGUN HIGH EXTERNAL WOODEN GATE WOODEN LADDER HIGH EXTERNAL WOODEN WALL SHOTGUN TRAP SATCHEL CHARGE Tier 2: HIGH EXTERNAL STONE WALL AUTO TURRET MINING QUARRY Items in Tier 1 cost 250 scrap to research and in Tier 2 750. As we know, the experiment costs 100 and 300 scrap for workbenches level 1 and 2 respectively. I think either they should be move to a higher workbench or lower down their costs. Next following issue are items that cannot be research by experimentation. There are two groups of them, items that don't require any workbench to craft and all types of ammo. Here is the list of them: No workbench required: STONE BARRICADE SHEET METAL DOUBLE DOOR SALVAGED SHELVES MAIL BOX SMALL PLANTER BOX LARGE PLANTER BOX RUG RUG BEAR SKIN Ammo: 12 GAUGE BUCKSHOT 12 GAUGE SLUG 5.56 RIFLE AMMO EXPLOSIVE 5.56 RIFLE AMMO HV 5.56 RIFLE AMMO HV PISTOL AMMO HIGH VELOCITY ROCKET INCENDIARY 5.56 RIFLE AMMO INCENDIARY PISTOL BULLET INCENDIARY ROCKET PISTOL BULLET ROCKET Personaly I think this issue is probably bug related as there two very specifc groups that cannot be experimented. If it's not, then I cannot really understand why those items aren't researcheble via workbench and items like C4 or rocket launcher can. Last but not least Tier 3 monuments (Launch site, Military tunnels and Power plant). The lanuch site is the only one that doesn't need any fixes in my opinion. But I cannot really understand why only Military tunnels got "buff" in way of adding 2 elite crates to it and the Power plant doesn't. You need 25 radition protection for military tunnels and there are no guards like bradley there. Power plant is still the same, and you need a hazamat suit if you want to get into the broken chimney. So the loot from power plant doesn't have anything diffrent form loot at the dome, airfield etc., yet it is classified as tier 3. I think that 1 or 2 elite crates should spawn in a broken chimney at the Power plant. What are your thoughs on these changes? Do you have any other ideas what should be changed in the new BP system? Let me know, and thank you for your attention .
