Welding Wire, WTF !!!

Not to mention that Welding Wire is lootable right now, and if you're traveling in space and have some on you - even stored in vehicles, like a Pitbull - it gets looted, and if you end up at a space station without a TP, then you're stuck, because you need it to repair your vehicle.

Support cases have been filed about this to get clarification as to whether it was intentional, or an oversight that needs to be fixed. Going to be interesting to see how this turns out.

Oh, and to craft Welding Wire - all of the ingredients aren't from one planet - there's one from Arkadia (Ospra?), and another (Alternative Ingot) from RT needed, besides the other two. Are we having fun yet? :D

 

oh my... are they actually beginning to create a real economy?

 

.

I'm going to assume that your comment was meant to be sarcastic, so let me make something clear real quick ... my comment ... are we having fun yet ... in no way meant that I was against building a real economy. I have said in many other posts that I think it's a good thing that the auction house was separated by planet. I like that it forces everyone to work together to build an economy by whatever creative methods we can come up with.

What isn't cool is that Welding Wire is lootable - and I would say that this is pretty much the general concensus.

Hope that explains my position so that there's no confusion whatsoever. :)

 

haven't tried it yet but has the repair tool decay been altered to include the welding wire tt? The fact the thing is using ospra and alternative is ok with me...traders are buying ospra at 200% :D or more...make a few more essential items available only on a few planets, remove lootable pvp and the game will almost be perfect :)

 

remove lootable pvp and only have it in space areas, where you can go by choice AND make an all-world auction feature - and I'm all game.

 

im happy on arkadia, but from caly u can still siimply teleport to cp or foma to my best knowledge and so not needing to enter any pvp there.

and weldingwire bp's are around more then enough just cant be auctioned atm due to a bug. (even i got a 85 attempt 1 and i craft once in a blue moon 10 clicks :D ...or was i lucky)

 

But this is a game, and therefore you don't NEED anything, it is your choice to purchase/participate.

 

my tp chip has seen more use in the last three days than in the last year and now I've spent quite a bit of time getting to know the landscape of Arkadia better on foot as well so I can understand about upholding your principles. My avatar hasn't worn clothing since the equiping fee and only worn armor, except for the red beret we got for free which is never removed. True it's been a few years but I believed it was an unfair tax then and it still is so I continue with no clothing rule which is now in storage.

Your real life example only demonstrates that you made a choice to live in an isolated area and live off the land, thereby making your own determination as to whether there was risk involved or not. Your circumstances in that time were not the norm as far as how society lives today.

Supply and demand is easily understood, but in real life, pretty much what we need is available to us without having to risk losing real money based on our choices, and it's business as usual.

However, in our virtual universe, we were just told that we can't live our lives in Entropia with business as usual, and are now forced to either travel across space in lootable PvP in order to get the resources we need, or pay additional money to someone to take the risk for us to get what we need so that it's business as usual (which isn't guaranteed either), or ... if we can't afford the risk, or able to hire guards for safe travel, then are relegated to a diminished capacity in how we do business within Entropia.

That doesn't sound too appealing to me.

 

pvp pfft persons shoot persons so that would mean players who pvp are evil? or are they just enjoying themselves simular when playing some kind of deathmatch in a other game.

anyway u pay markup and ppl houl that stuff through pvp that deem is worth the risc, thats how a interplanetary trade evolves, so i see buying/using it as supporting the game becouse ppl want to make a pec.
thats my view on it.

 

BD that avatar pic is gonna make someone crack their LCD screen!

...Ill admit I started looking around on my desk to find something to whack it with before I realized what it was

 

you and me both lol

 

Same! I was like, wtf happened to my OJs?!?! when I logged in after being gone for a while. I refuse to wear any clothes now.

I love when people complain in chat about "the noob" running around in his skivvies who can't afford to invest in proper clothing to wear

 

Now you tell me!

I'm on my second screen now
