Quatermaster Assignment (Not heart of HQ one)
« on: September 20, 2014, 10:34:28 PM »

Hello,

So at the moment when a new player starts this server, he has to do assignments to level up. (It seems only way) But at the moment after a quick assignment for small level chars there is a 10 minute cool-down, when this cool-down is active there is pretty much nothing a player can do. Can't shop/buy items. can't solo mining mission. Can't even solo encounters cuz of no ammo cuz of no assignments to pay for it.

Basic, My suggestion is to make the Assignment giver (Not heart one) cooldown for assignments 3-4 minutes to take a break IRL. to smoke. drink w/e.

I realize that no cool-down can ruin economy of this server. And I thought it out before making this suggestion. But I think that when someone gains 400-600exp + 80-130$ from an assignment he shouldn't have to wait 10 minutes when there's nothing else to do.

Benifits (pros) -

- Lot less grind for people who feel like starting this server out.
- Much less boring waiting.

Faults (Cons) -
- Bit more money put into the server per day.
- Solo players becoming rich faster. (Slightly)


One of my friends is having a lot of hard time starting out this server cuz its just boring as hell once u finish an assignment at lvl 3, you gotta put some quality time from Ur irl to get this game to work for you with these obstacles

Assignment's cooldown timer was put to decrease server lag, not because it'd ruin the economy.
Also, someday devs will redo the starting location and there will be a tutorial.

And no cooldown will be probably just very bad because ppl will just select what they want and only take best assigments

I do not see what this has to do with the cooldown? o.O
For the lag part I still dont get why it would make a difference?
All people on the mission turn it in and no one else is in that area, area gets deleted so no more cpu wasted on that.

example you want to take sss only then select and give back till get sss ;p

In that time there will be like 15 maps created and deleted what both take cpu

You could still give an cooldown since START of the the assignment ;). You will most likely need around 5-10 mins atleast for the easy ones. If you are earlier you can just wait till these 5-10 mins are over since you took the other assignment :).
