NEW TYPE OF BUFFPACKS


V.3 By Ohopo.(added havla solution)(added enhancement applicator)


Hello everyone! I just came up with an idea of new type of buffpacks,


that will seriously improve the gameplay and also be very interesting


for any doctor. So here it is....



(*NOTE that I do not want the old types of buffpacks to be cancelled


or changed, this idea is only to ADD a new type of buffpack).


Recently, all doctors have big,long lines. Yes, thanks to the new publish


that will come soon, and decrease our wound treatment time(there's


a rumor though, that this will only affect medics,but not doctors), but still


people do not like to stay in lines, simply wasting their time.Some people


here called the "casual" players can't waste it much, if they are limited


for their time online. So what if this type of buffpack will be implemented


in game. This buffpack will INSTANTLY buff all 6 stats(health,strength,


constitution,action,quickness and stamina), meaning that this buffpack


will apply all 6 buffs at the same time. Of course to craft this buffpack


you need a lot of resources and time(so it will be equal to the time and


resources docs spend to craft all 6 buffpacks now). If we had this


buffpack we will get a lot of positive things, such as: decreased time


doctors spend to buff 1 person, thus there won't be long lines, and people


won't have to wait in them. Another plus, is that doctors will have to


carry only 1 item instead of 6 as it is now,thus more buff sets you can carry


and more people a doctor can buff. Of course people will still need buff


in single packs(i.e. Musicians,Dancers etc. to buff action and quickness)


so we do not need these types replaced with the new type. Another great


side of thistype of buffpack, is that you can experiment on it, and thus get all


enhancements be equal in power and duration(no more 2700 for action


and 2500 for health and difference in time), and the last good side in this


type, simply docs will be able to get more money in less time.


There is one negative side of this . The chefs... who craft havla, docs


will no longer need it. BUT it won't affect chef proffesion that much,


because they still have brandy, bivoli, canape etc. Also If you use havla with this


type of buff you can INSTANTLY buff 24 people. This will greatly improve GCW.


Imagine a massive pvp war with docs that buff instantly after people clone!


Add a new item that is crafted by the doctor called "Medical Enhancement Applicator". Once crafted, the doctor would then be able to take one buff pack of each stat and drop it into the Applicator (much like the current loot kits). The buffpacks would disappear into the applicator and the applicator would display the stats of the buffs if you were to examine it. The number of charges would be determined by the buffpack with the lowest number of charges on it.


The doctor could then use the Medical Enhancement Applicator to simultaneously apply all 6 buffpacks in one action

So that's basically it. Sorry if I made my points not very clear, ill try to correct


it later.


*covers eyes* flame on! Any feedback greatly appreciated!

Old idea. Been around for a long, long time. Everyone likes it.


Who knows, maybe someday we'll get it *shrug*

just a thought...


it would be nice tosee a set of buffs that you can buyand use to buff yourself.


that way i could buy a set of buffs and use them when i want to rather than going to coronet and looking for a doc or pulling out my master doc alt when there is no one in coronet buffing.


then maybe docs can go back to healing our wounds and aiding us in combat rather than sitting in front of the starport buffing people when they are not looking for resources. also it could help cut back on the huge buff lines, and spamin front of the starports and maybe help reduce lag in coronet.

Ideas don't just get added because they're good. I believe the primary guideline the devs are (should be if they aren't) using (and will be using in the future, so they say), is how the proposed idea affects profession interdependence. Right now, Doctors buy Havla from Chefs that uses bio-engineered addins to make their buff speed faster. That is 2 other professions relying on Doctors for product sales. Why would they want to take that business away from Chef's and BE's? They wouldn't, and so they most likely wont.


Sure adding 1 schematic is easy, but so is giving us the ability to teleport to any location on any planet, and so would giving us all Jedi, and so would increasing resource stack sizes to 1M instead of 100k. It's all about how the economy and fun & challengefactor would be affected by the change for all people concerned.

To get over the havla issue they could simply make some of the subs be chef/BE or any other prof made item. The same idea was done with the area cures requireing CM made disp mechs.

That would just leave time as a gating factor then. Given the devs current attitude towards "immersion time" maybe they might now be open to such an item. Then again, if the new heal timer on TC affects doc wound healing, then they may not even consider the idea, as 1/3 normal heal delay + havla would be fast, and any dev time spent saving a couple of seconds would be seen asa waste of development time.

Old idea doesn't mean good idea.


Saving 2 to 3 minutes for a buff doesn't seem like it will enhance the game. Sure, if you're impatient (and I know many are) and don't want to wait for a buff, 2 minutes seems like a long time. I wonder how you ever survived an 8 minute wait for a shuttle. But I don't see how it makes the game better. Quicker isn't always better.

I find the sense of community I encounter when sitting at the starport buffing very entertaining. I see a lot of players I don't see day to day and I catch up on all the Wanderhome gossip. If you can carry a conversation like a normal human being, waiting for a buff isn't a bad thing.

Been around since day 1 also and this has to be the 5th or 6th time I've seen this idea mentioned. You have to wait forever for a doc irl, might as well wait in game too.

How the heck do you get a buff in 2 minutes? Could you explain it to me? If you mean the PROCESS of enhancing it is not THAT long, I am talking about the waititing in lines for 20-30 minutes!!!!! (usually happens at peak times). I do not like to STAND there doing nothing. If you use havla and you use the new type pack you can INSTANTLY buff up to 24 people! Just imagine a massive PvP where 1 doc can buff a whole squad in no time!
