Drug Specific Tip + 3 Hour Flight HELL! Started by: The_Dean on Aug 21, '12 12:29

I'm sure I am not the only one feeling this way, but we shall see, wont we.

I use 'drug specific' tips quite often, and most of the time they work quite nicely when there is no one readily available to send you drug information. That being said, there is nothing as frustrating as buying a $20K tip, only to find out you now have to fork over another $30K and have a 3 hour flight just to get there to sell the load, sometimes eating up damn near all your profit.

Is there any way, at least for the 'drug specific' tips, especially since they cost a ton more, that they would only show the highest price within normal cost flight range, or at least have that info added in?

Report Post Tip

This seem to be a necessary risk in essentially buying profit. Drug prices never used to be constant between users and used to be unique for each player, meaning that you couldn't guarantee a success all the time.

Not always making a huge profit is a good thing as far as I'm concerned in this era of prosperity.

Report Post Tip

I can fully understand 'nessessary risk', but what about having this 'within range' additional info be individually based on each person's vision skill?

Report Post Tip

A while ago wasn't there a change made to making it so MIA's disliked 3 hour flights and the idea they'd spawn within a 2 hour flight zone?

 

Couldn't it be the same with that the FBN guy hates 3 hour flights? I just paid 20k for a tip for a high priced drug, it will then cost me 60k to fly to that place. By the time I get there I actually make no profit at all...

Report Post Tip

I would prefer reverting to a system of differentiating prices between users.

As far as this suggestion, I wouldn't mind seeing the FBN guy tell you that it might not be worth your while if you're going to make no profit at all on the venture.

Report Post Tip

Like when you attempt to buy the tip and it takes you to a "confirm" screen that tells you it might not be worth it? That is a compromise I could live with.

Report Post Tip

Indeed.

Some check that the game performs to make sure you aren't about to get ripped off.

Even if afterwards it says something like the FBN guy isn't aware of a deal that is worth your time.

Something like that, but only if the deal is going to lose you money.

Report Post Tip

I don't think there is a change needed for this, tips carry an inherent risk the same as owning a CA.

The only reason this was changed for MIA's is because people where spending real life money on credits then spending those credits on the MIA's.
