Training Camps and Hospitals

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 As discussed earlier this week, the new rules for training camps and hospitals are now in effect. Each town specializes in training certain skills (e.g. Somerset is the best one to learn driving in). You'll see some extra text in the town descriptions when you select a town from the map. See also my announcement about hitching a lift. It should now be possible for an enterprising gang to set up regular bus services bringing characters to other towns in time for the Friday training deadline, and then bringing them back afterwards. Elmsfield now has the best hospital, where your characters will heal fastest. When we have illnesses implemented, Elmsfield hospital will be the only one that can save a character from certain ones. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Aug 9, 2007, 4:39 pm Last edited Aug 9, 2007, 4:44 pm by *sam*

Ballistics? And how does using a training facility to train a skill v training at a town known for training well compare? ......................... vet Posted Aug 9, 2007, 10:40 pm

Quote: And how does using a training facility to train a skill v training at a town known for training well compare? It varies; the training speed in each town is quite specific. Generally, a training facility is a very important factor though, at least as important as a town being a 'suitable place' to train something.

*Speedealer* Fish Heads Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 922 Joined: Dec 11, 2006 couple questions... The only town I see that's good for weapons training is Morgan. Is it opening soon? And how does one train there without a training facility? Just by hanging out at the local watering hole and playing lots of darts? ......................... marshal vet combat1 race1 northernsummer combatL1 Posted Aug 10, 2007, 6:20 pm

Quote: how does one train there without a training facility? Training is applied to characters even in towns without a facility, but it's not as effective. Since all of the weapons towns are small, the reality is that Somerset is probably your best bet for training weapons using its facility. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Aug 10, 2007, 6:30 pm

*Speedealer* Fish Heads Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 922 Joined: Dec 11, 2006 aha! Didnt even bother looking at the truckstops since I already knew they didn't have training centers.

Is there some way you might modify this behavior?  Kind of a drag to have to drag someone up to Somerset just to set what they're training. ......................... vet wv Posted Aug 10, 2007, 7:10 pm

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 I knew someone would say that ;-) The only thing is, the training camp is where you currently set training orders. Where else could it intuitively be done from? ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Aug 10, 2007, 7:32 pm

*Speedealer* Fish Heads Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 922 Joined: Dec 11, 2006 I personally think its fine. Consider it a one time inconvenience for the continued game development. From then on, just make sure you plan ahead before leaving a town with a training center. ......................... marshal vet combat1 race1 northernsummer combatL1 Posted Aug 10, 2007, 7:36 pm

Where else could it intuitively be done from? could be set under the character's information screen, but right now the ability to select what to train is a perk of subscribing (since the training facility is only accessible by subscribers) so you still might want to limit the functionality if you move it there. ......................... vet Posted Aug 10, 2007, 7:43 pm

It might be nice to see what they're currently training on that page anyway. ......................... vet wv Posted Aug 10, 2007, 7:44 pm
