| MIAs in your city | Started by: The_Liar on Feb 15, '10 12:34 |

So, twice today I've heard of people launching an MIA and then flying to the wrong city... yes, their fault - but I'm sure it happens far more often than we would like. Also launching an MIA invariably takes you out of your planned IA route for 2 hours... I know one of those hours you can't shoot, but still, it's an annoyance to some. So my proposal is that for the extra cost of 1 credit (i.e. 2 credits total for the MIA) you can specify what city the contract takes place in. This has the advantage of negating the 2 points above, allowing instant (or almost instant) gratification when you've not got any of the 4 IA's you flew into LA for (eg) and just want to shoot something, damnit! It also provides additional income for the owners. Down sides... The extra use of credits may push up the price in the marketplace even higher. |

While financially it would be in our best interest to do this, however, I think this pushes it too much into the "buy skill" area that I don't really want to venture to deep into. The current MIAs are supposed to be a pain in the ass. Its supposed to be able to be stolen, and supposed to take you off your planned route. Normally, when a feature is implemented into the game, we have to give a pro/con, so that there is work involved into getting the reward. I wouldn't really feel comfortable in making MIAs easier, even if it brings in more money :( |

I personally don't see a problem with this. We have regressed to the point to where people are now buying a good gun, so why not bring the game in some more money if people are already buying there way to 100 kills? They are going to get their MIAs anyway, why not make top dollar off it? |

I just don't think I can bend on this one. It's supposed to be work. It's supposed to be a pain in the ass. If you are hunting IAs, you fly to cities where it may be inconvenient. I really don't want to make it too easy. :( |

a good point Squishy, The_liar i would recommend you take a second look at the location before flying then again this is just like IA hunting, when you make a plan that you will be flying to city X to wack someone you will already have in mind that you will stay there for 2 or 3 hrs thus you look for the city with the most IAs and having MIAs beeing spawned in the place you want them to will not alter a lot... knowing that when you do take a certain shot you will need to wait another 1hr to make another so it will only reduce your plan by 1 hr or 1 shot that will be made after the first and then after the other 1 hrs you can fly. the IA plan was to replace the IA you are going after and giving a chance for others to take that shot ( a wonderful idea ) and by doing that we are not ( like Squishy said ) going near the "buy skill" witch will make the game even harder for those who can not log in much and for those who does not have a bank account to buy credits... we should be pushing and working hard to make the game better not easier knowing that an easy game is will always make users ( old or new ) get bored fast. |
