Courier mission regenerating

Zephyr River City Gamblers Darkwind Guru Evan Reds Faction Group: Subscribers Posts: 551 Joined: Dec 12, 2009 I have gotten to the point where I have a good number of couriers running missions to and from Somerset. I have noticed that the courier missions offered to me when I click on the "advertise for courier missions" link do carry over from one request to another (which is cool). Now I find I am running out of courier missions. My question is, how fast do these regenerate? Once a day? Every hour? Random intervals throughout the day? ......................... vet wv Posted Feb 9, 2010, 3:56 am

*Burden* The Speedrunners Darkwind Guru Mutants Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 1,013 Joined: Oct 4, 2009 I've also noticed that I've only failed 30 courier missions this month, (Sam said you had to fail 150 of them for this to happen, I think) and I cant do any more missions for the whole month. Is this normal? ......................... wv vet zom marshal pvp2 paintladder Posted Feb 9, 2010, 4:26 am

simonmaxhill Drive Backwards BFFs Darkwind Guru Anarchists Faction Group: Storytellers Posts: 1,503 Joined: Mar 10, 2008 Hell, I only failed 10 and an escort mission and I can't take any more this month. Maybe it's a bug? ......................... vet wv Posted Feb 9, 2010, 4:40 am

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Not a bug, no. I recently added code to stop players who were failing lots of missions from being given more. (It was never 150, BTW). You're currently allowed to fail a max of 8 in a month, or no more than one-third of attempted missions if you have failed more than 3 but less than 9. Is this too heavy-handed? It seems to me that word would get around fairly quick if you were repeatedly losing the goods? ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Feb 9, 2010, 10:30 am

Serephe Collision Force Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 3,496 Joined: Dec 9, 2007 Hmm... if this is put in place to stop what I think it is, perhaps just have it block you out of accepting missions if you drop your fame below 0 for 1 month? Really, I think it'd hurt the new guys quite a bit how it is... travels can be tough for them and they struggle to make money at the start usually. Or perhaps have no fame change for a failed mission, and instead just a rep drop. ......................... vet wv paintladder ww0,3,0 Posted Feb 9, 2010, 10:33 am Last edited Feb 9, 2010, 10:34 am by *Serephe*

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 I'm removing negative fame BTW, it was never intended (and it makes no sense logically). I could easily raise the cutoff levels of 3 and 8 described above, if necessary. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Feb 9, 2010, 10:51 am Last edited Feb 9, 2010, 10:52 am by *sam*

Serephe Collision Force Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 3,496 Joined: Dec 9, 2007 Probably for the best. Or make it a weekly reset. I'll try find some "new traders" to talk to, find out how often they lose stuff. ......................... vet wv paintladder ww0,3,0 Posted Feb 9, 2010, 11:03 am

simonmaxhill Drive Backwards BFFs Darkwind Guru Anarchists Faction Group: Storytellers Posts: 1,503 Joined: Mar 10, 2008 I feel like the fame/rep drop you take when you lose missions is a decent way of approximating "word getting out". While it's important that the exploit be nixed, perhaps we can raise the ceiling to twice as high - so a player can lose a full load (ten)of missions and (if they have the fame/rep to take more) take at least a half load of missions after that. ......................... vet wv Posted Feb 9, 2010, 4:22 pm

Aristazibal Violet Menace Racer Renegade Group: Members Posts: 172 Joined: Mar 8, 2008 I have a question about the failed missions thing. I just started getting the message that I can't accept any more missions (not that there are any courrier missions around to be had anyway), but don't see any kind of triggering event. Is this date driven somehow? By my count from the "activities" tab on the My Gang page (By the way, is there a better way to track this?), I've failed 7 out of 27 in the last month. Admittedly some of these were because I lost track of them (I tend to do lots of "little" missions and occasionally forget about them) and some were because I got jumped and lost the cargo, but I genuinely intended to complete all of them. (I say this because I assume that the code was put in to prevent people from just grabbing all the missions without that intention.) Is that too many failures? I somehow feel inclined to point out that my fame is about 500, and my rep is 700+. While this doesn't necessarily speak to my reliability with regard to missions, I would hardly classify my gang as "dubious". And what is the triggering event that determined that I was no longer eligible? I haven't failed or succeded any mission in the last couple of days (I don't think) so why did it pick today to lock me out? And when will it recalculate so that I can start taking missions again? I might also suggest having the value of the missions play into this somehow. The missions that I've failed (for the most part) involved a payment of less than $5K, but I've simultaneously completed several "big" missions, and yet the two count the same when it comes to the lockout. Seems unjustified somehow... Sorry if this sounds whiny, and it frankly isn't that relevant to my gang because of the types of missions that I typically take, but I figured I'd mention it anyway. ......................... vet wv Posted Feb 10, 2010, 8:35 pm

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 You're currently allowed to fail a max of 8 in a month, or no more than one-third of attempted missions if you have failed more than 3 but less than 9. I could increase this, sure.. maybe doubled, you said simon? Quote: when will it recalculate so that I can start taking missions again? Once per day, 'recent activities' that are more than 1 month old are deleted from the database. So the calcs change at that point. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Feb 10, 2010, 8:51 pm

Aristazibal Violet Menace Racer Renegade Group: Members Posts: 172 Joined: Mar 8, 2008 Thanks for the quick reply, sam. It's kind of a hard thing, I think, because I understand exactly what you're trying to do. It's just a little frustrating because I think of myself as a relatively decent and well-meaning mission participant who got caught in the cross-fire. (Although maybe I'm just an unreliable courrier ). ......................... vet wv Posted Feb 10, 2010, 9:34 pm
