Commando Archive

Commando's are probably going to be hit the hardest when item decay goes live, we tend to carry all sorts of interesting toys around with us. I've started taking a good look through my inventory and trying to decide what I will need to carry as bare essentials.

I've pretty much decided that consumables are out of the window for a start, I use them so rarely that some of them would probably decay completely before they run out of charges.

Obviosly my HAR is going to stay at home until it works.

And crates of wound packs, stim packs, pixie and chef buffs will also have to go, I will just carry a couple of each instead.

Can't think of anything else, anybody got any ideas?

Well, if crates of grenades and HW's decay, Im cancelling my account. Just isnt worth it anymore. Its so hard to enjoy this game when they are constantly killing our prof.

If they so much as hint at that in live servers I will leave. I very much disagree with their choices of death penaltys.

I didn't start this as an 'I don't agree with the decay system' thread, I wanted constructive ideas on how to minimise it's effects.

Personally, in PvE I rarely die or get incapped, so I will most likely continue to carry my normal loadout of equipment, armor,and weapons. However if I ever decide to PvP or do faction missions, I will just carry a FT (insured), a alternate weapon (insured), 1x30 shot HPBC (uninsured), 2x stims (uninsured), and wear crappy bazaar bought clothing (uninsured) so I am not in boxers. I will also stop using composite armor as it would be entirely too expensive to maintain under the current decay and insurance rates.

i tell you it just ant right i have saved over three months on skill typ and now in three days threemonths of work could be gone down the tueb they just dont think at all

i alrady know 4 ppl that have quit becaous of them hearing they put it in TC (it proved to them that the devs dont even think of the commen fun play gameing ppl )

and if it gose live i think i proply quit to

becaous no one will want to pvp wich meens there gos the GCW

Quit, it means fewer commandos and those of us left will be better off. I mean come on, so what if it decays, you were never meant to hold onto too much stuff anyway. One, it drags down a server having so much junk on it (although now that I think of it, decaying all that junk is going to make server performance worse.... oh geez). Anyway the devs are trying to keep people from hoarding, as a commando you have a great chance of killing bigger and badder things and thereby get more credits, use to buy more items..... What are you guys hoarding anyway that CANT be used .........

well, if this goes live, im done. This game is turning out to be more of a core then a game. I die at least 2x a day. (sad, i know) and i use my guns a ton, so i have to buy a FT every other day now. geeze... why cant they just leave it how it is? i think its fine.i think that they think it does not matter what they do, wewill always be here paying 15/30/45 a month. Im not paying them so i can get on and work fortwo hours to pay for running into a bocatt.

welp here is my 2cents

If people start wearing no armour in PvP because of the decay. All one hit kill proffesions will get decrease in damage within 2 months.

Most likely:

Since im finally now an armor user..most likely ill always carry my combat suit over my mission ops duster one....so a Black Fighter suit/comp chest plate/comp helmet/tusken boots/Bain Wear leather gloves

definatly my flamer, 1 hvy weapon, my LP, and my Fwg5

btw resources and medical supplies and crafting stuff are exempt from this decay suppousedly (thank god..my pet stims are safe)

in total, my costs would be around 1k for the weapons, and 600-800 for the clothing so a bit less than 2k per death..which is feasible

HOWEVER

this will still be risky if the god blasted 1% insured still goes live...my tusken boots got +7 hvy weaps spd, and +5 pistol accuracy while moving and since are tusken are only 670/1000 condition!

I still haven't quite got the hang of Flame and Feign. EIther that, or it's just plain broke. So I get incapped quite a bit. I have tried about a dozen variations. Nothing seems to work.

Having said that, my personal-load out will now be:

Cheap clothing, One cheap FT, one cheap LP, one cheap FWG5, one cheap SR5, NO consumables, One stack of tat suburn, one stack of Rhyscate, one stack of Fishak, and a couple of Pixes and MGs, and a couple of bundles of Stim Bs.

Three suits of Comp armor on display in house, along with suit of ST armor. All worthless now. Wait, they already were worthless. No loss then.

Considering creature/mob warps, game stability and lag, I don't think they will go live with this whole decay non-sense. If they need a consequence for death then they should fix corpses and reimpliment it, instead of trying to do a work around.

Lazy ass devs...

I am going to carry probably just hotpants, and my 2 flamethrowers, my damage for specials, and my speed for all the time use. I am going to wear nothing else, because it will just decay. I will only use my armor, or bring heavy weapons for defending or attacking a base, or PVP for taking down ATST's
