NEW BP COLLECTION IDEA

[CapnSanta]

It has become obvious with the recent Dante event that certain players gain great joy in stealing bps from others even though they ALREADY HAVE THOSE BPS!

This is simply stupid and selfish. Blackwidow (clan member), came up with a brilliant idea on a simple way that Split Screen can prevent this from happening.....

It is almost too simple to believe.

Currently, once we collect a bp in full and when the bp is collected at some other time, a message saying "you already have it and data discarded", comes up. How about a SMALL change in the way the script that drives this message works. Instead of saying "already collected data discarded" after you collect the bp why not make it so once you collect it the message says "already collected" and the BP STAYS on the GROUND!

This will solve SO many problems when it comes to mass events of limited time. Sure players can still "steal" BPs if , and only IF, they don't have them (thus retaining the pirate nature of the game), BUT if they already HAVE the completed bp then they can no longer COLLECT IT AT ALL!

Hence, all the nasty, vindictive selfish stealing of something you already have will VANISH!

What do you think of this as an idea for the game pilots??

Yes, this is a very good idea, the only problem it doesn't solve is people taking gravitons.

 

[Death-Hunter]

Great idea

 

[blackroger]

Looks like a good idea Capn

 

[kozoe]

We realy want that.

Simple and perfect.

Should be done in the whole game.

But only for the rares. Rare BP's are not needed for mission completion.

Most off us that reach a new planet land and try to get a blaster. So you collect blaster BP's. If u cannot collect it anymore after finisching the blaster. You would not be able to finish a white blaster BP mission.

With Rares that is not the case. You have to finish that item only once.

For an event like this, perfect. The bleu patterns are possible to get in normal gameplay. So it's not a real problem if the bleus are gone or 'stolen'. The rare ships not.

Its another way to prevent a few players frustrating the event for a lot off others. It was a dissapointement to see how a group got organized and suddenly 1 or 2 came in and just started stealing. Even BP's they had, willingly and with no other intention as to frustrate. Even admitting that in chat.

For the Graviton subject : set a timer. You cannot pick up more then one within 5 or 10m minutes.

So, that would not finish stealing totally, but it would not really harm goodwilling players and it would not give stealers a real advantage.

This is a Wonderful Idea. I only hope that I see this put into PG one day. It will save so much frustration, and lessen the Complaining in chat, about You stole my BP you jerk~ and the like.

turn pvp back on and kill them stealers

was mistake get the pvp turned off all those moaners now made it worse ,the trained stealers are having a great time on dante atm.

but its too late now guys pvp will stay off as astraeus said it in another post.

Agreed. This would stop a lot of griefers in their tracks.

i dont think it hinders anyone if they got the gold to not be able to take it but make it so they dont see it at all if they have it may b better . less suffering seein another wasted gold.lol (just think it may create problems in sq coding)
also i thought of an alternative system on how large numbers of shooters can share drops, posted it with other ideas on own thread (now if any dev want/can implement such is another thing.lol)
but would make everyone happy cause its 100% fair imo, ud get wht u shoot.
+ i also mentioned itd b easy to make such events 1 day red 1 day non red to satisfy all. +++

 

[The Rage]

agree top idea

 

[Mered4]

So simple, yet so brilliant....wonder if this has been thought of before...hmm.
I think this should be implemented for all cases except white missions.

 

[Poland]

Great Idea! It will solve problems with stealers who have BPs which drop

 

[CapnSanta]

The WM concerns about not being able to complete if you already have the particular BP shouldn't be a problem. It is simply a matter of writing the script (code) to make allowance if you are doing a WM.

It's just coding. Our focus here is only concerning BP's not greens or gravitons, these are still "fair game".

 

[Ctfunnygirl]

Perfect!
Great!
Amazing!
Brilliant!
LOVE it!

Whooo HOOOO!

Three cheers for CapnSanta!

 

[Sinned]

Easy and simple,
great idea, must be in the game.

[WRAITH1]

btw same idea could b applied to energy when u full.lol

 

[passenger8]

-"known blueprint, no reason to collect".
-yes, this could work

 

[ridoi]

nice idea

 

[V1-Hyper]

BRILLIANT IDEA Chaps!!
Big Thumb up for its implementation

Best wishes
