4rth set Ideas

[Murzim]

Here we will post a short list of the main ideas for the next set. We may forgot some key one so please post your ideas/suggestions.

Note that we will not go public on the changes for crimes as we do not want to enter a loop of arguments. The crime changes are not to be discussed.

In the other hand, you can discuss all changes listed here. Also note that these changes already have a very high chance of happening.

Booty Master New Set Ideas List
========================================
Big Fishes
++++++++++++
*New Feature: Contracts (Search relative post for this. It is expected to boost solo activity as well.)
*Upgrade rob feature (Possible changes/upgrades: New industry that will affect it, mobster
*New Special Unique Treasure items (Will not only give power but also do something else. The only example today is Time Spiral).
*Crime Journal (Not in priority)

fights, more gravity to user choices especially to protect most, more gravity to defender

mobsters)

Goodies
++++++++++++
*Retrain Specialty ability, granted at Lvl 30+ (Once)
*Industries rating (performance, level and time build will play a role)
*+10% more experience from crimes for characters that have Martial Arts specialty
*Lower by -5% the bonus of experience gained from charisma (20% instead of 25%)
*5-7 New Crimes (if there is a new industry, this number may grow to 15)
*Statistics page where players can see if they are in any Top10 Crime list
*Gang success/fail page for all crimes the gang members did.
*Correct all typos noted in typo list.
*sitter account (probably only for supporters as this will help in detections as well)
*Ability to flag an account as your MAIN. The only gain from this, will be protection from
gangless secondary accounts while out of a gang.


Some of programming time will be also invested into creating a multilangual base so we will be able to provide, the interface at first, in more languages, other than english.


PS:Two main reasons to give you this list:
1)To enhance your ability to plan ahead.
2)To receive feedback and new ideas.


Finished Pieces (already in effect):
=================================
*Top 10 Highest Level
*From now on, in the last 2 hours before the update (22:00 to 0.00), you will be able to use Booty Courrier to send only crime items (meaning only the items which appear in this category).
*You can no longer cancel auctions with buying price equal or greater than 5 million Bootyland Dollars.
*Lowest buyout price for any item in players marker is the price market buys it.
*Automatic lockup of Courrier system in last 3 days (Notification last day before lockup included)
*Automatic lockup of ability to sell in players marker in last 4 days (Notification last day before lockup included)

I have no problem seeing my crime score in relation to the top 10 score list now.A new page might save me a few clicks but seems like a waste of game resourses to me.

This page will show all your top10 scores not in compare. For example, if you are in Top10 list for boost a car 2 times including top#1, one in neighbor pc and 3 more in steal wallets at beach, it will show:

Payne Killer Top10 Crimes achievements
=======================================
Steal Wallets at beach - 3 times
Boost a car - 2 times (Top score too!)
Neighbor... - 1 time

Well... if possible-will there be any changes to ranking system and to fighting system? If this is top secret you can ignore it...

[Sound_Chaser]

Murzim many great ideas especially the thing where u can flag an account as ur main. next set will be amazing great job

[Murzim]

Well... if possible-will there be any changes to ranking system and to fighting system? If this is top secret you can ignore it...

Most probably there will be no changes in ranking system.

For fighting system, we are considering to make luck more obedient to accuracy (very possible). Also, we may increase the possible max value for accuracy to something higher than 10 to add a more interesting approach in "picking the right weapon for the right character" statement (Not so likely to happen though). If weapon accuracy max is changed, we will also add new weapons and change existing ones.

i think more than top 10 would be nice, maybe top 50, or the option to see top 10, 20, 50 ,100..for each crime

[Sound_Chaser]

maybe top 10 highest lvl?

[raizin]

Please lower some of the power of NPCs. during the last 2 sets, many of us players where able to do alot more crimes. This set it has been very limited.

Some differences: Last set Mascot was worth 10 mill and almost anyone could do it. This set its only worth 3 mill and only a handful can do it. Maybe just take 1 or the other like Make it hard, but the reward greater or Keep the reward low but make the NPC a little easier so more people can do this crime. Same with Free willy.

Increase gang members. I believe the reason it was lowered to 35 was because as a gang we where supposed to get this "wonder" that never happened this set.

If possible, rename some of the crime items and then make different crimes reward different items so it becomes a mystery again how to use them for the harder crimes. Otherwise it becomes extremely routine.

You had earlier talked about adding activity with owning Basketball and Football treasure items, keep that going.

Increase the amount of PvPs. Ive gone a month without using any, but the day i want to do some tests i can only do 7.

Set a time that all booty courriers must be used. This will prevent shipping items off at 23:59 that gives an extreme advantage to those players allowed to be online right before the reset.

great idea about the account sitter (some of us may not be able to play at all times)

but i think that the feature should be for every player and not just supporters

[antonis]

Some thoughts:

1) Fighing: We ve discussed about that many times during this set and the relationship between dodge and luck.
I ve stated my suggestions, but i would definatelly like this to change. in my opinion the problem is not the accuracy, but the dodge. Anyway, there is a specific thread that we've discussed about that.

2) Marial Arts: You have said in the past that martial arts will have some new abilities, like ninja or sth. Moreover, i like the bonus exp idea. Give us more details about this spec.

3) Robbing feature: Well, i want to see robbing feature more complicated. I want more strategy involved and less luck. The more complicated the more interesting. But you definatelly have to announce the changes before the beggining of the new set, in order for players to be able to build their character properly. Since robbing feature is quite important, maybe we need a special thread for this.

4) I agree with raizin in some issues like the gang members limit (i cant see what's the point of this limitation), and the bootymaster couriers. We've discussed about that months ago, and i think we've agreed that this should be change.At least 3 out of 4 couriers should be used 1-2 hours before the update, in order to avoid protecting items. And, lastly, since we are in a new server, and it seems to be better than the previous one, you could raise the pvps per day, and you could reduce the supporter's mailbox. (e.g. instead of unimilited, maximum 200).

5) I am quite disappointed from the snitch info. I think info is quite limited in many crimes, and some of them doesnt really help you. Thus, in some crimes we have to experiment in order to find what is really needed. Sneak into president's office is an example. Moreover the info for BST is very limited. On the other hand there crimes with very good snitch info, like BLCB, date laura.

6) I'd like to see more new crimes. For me, it would be ideal to replace all crimes with new ones, but i know that s impossible. The thing is, top gangs, and especially MiG, know exactly what to do, and apart from the routine, there is no competition. Maybe new industries would be a good idea.

7) You could add a feature that would give a big amount of power to players that complete a specific amount of crimes, for example 90-95%. I like the sitter idea. Lastly, can you gve more details about retrain spec at lvl 30?
