Introducing... Dun dun dun... PAYCHECKS!

[thaelis]

P.S. - Wanna know a great gold sink? Random Rust Monsters and Aurumvoraxes (the old 2nd edition ones that would eat precious metals)! Certainly gets the Armor, Weapons and Jewelry markets moving

As long as +4 armor gets like a +25 save bonus against rusting. Do you know how hard that stuff is to make?!

[GodBeastX]

I'm not all that concerned about inflation because a certain player proved pretty much when someone WANTS a ton of gold, they can get it.

If I had to choose between capping this because some people go out and farm gold or letting it fly because some people are just RPing their faction stuff all the time. I favor the RP people.

Our crafting systems and such will be moving towards largely gold based and there will probably be other sinks soon enough.

Then by all means GBX - full steam ahead!

Our crafting systems and such will be moving towards largely gold based and there will probably be other sinks soon enough.

The current crafting system is how some of us make our livings in Sundren. It is a very profitable venture. An easy fix for the crafting system would be to make the materials necessary to craft available via stores. I mean gems, essences, etc.

Nevertheless, if a new and easier crafting system is put in place then these pay days will be nice.

The more important question is how pay day will impact the Sundren... Drunken Sailors in Port Avanthyr, increased prostitution around Blackwood Company outposts?

This would make player-stores such as mine soooo much more feasible. I think the really top items like +3 weapon or +4 armor should retain the gem requirement, but something like a +1 or +2 sword /armour you shouldn't need gems to make.

As a crafter you spend almost your entire time online trying to find gems (unless you are 20-21st level, but should crafting really only begin to be useful then?)

Faction stores are borked.

I really really like the point where the man said that the system would favour those that may not have the time, ig incentive, or knowledge how to gain vast amounts of gold!

Will there be jobs to do outside of IC interaction with other PC's? As a european player I'm often on at low player peaks, and sometimes I feel like I leech of a faction, since I get the cool stores, but don't really do a 'real' job(apart from the banner now and then). And now you want to give me gold too? I don't know what to say really.

"What about double agents? Hypothetically they would get two paychecks..."

[GodBeastX]

I checked in the code for this, Saulus just needs to update the commands and then people will start getting paychecks.

[Kitsunestume]

So for this value I took your (reputation + 10000) / 10000 for how much additional multiplier you get. so you in theory get about 1x to 5x pay depending on your reputation which caps out at 50,000 mechanically.

Yay!
Also, isn't the above supposed to be [1x to 6x]?
(50,000 + 10,0000) / 10,000 = 6

[GodBeastX]

(50,000 + 10,0000) / 10,000 = 6

CORRECT MY MATH WILL YOU!?

*SLAP SLAP*

Just kidding. The +10000 is just so the normalizing value doesn't start at 0% since everyone tends to start with 1000 rep. Should be able to check how much your paychecks are in Character Info.

Everyone will get 1 to start with if all works perfectly and then another a week later, etc.

[GodBeastX]

Please report any bugs on this when saulus eventually updates. I anticipate there may be a few.

[Farmboy2003]

I saw there was a few things to download as I logged on earlier. So I immediatly went to find who gives out the paychecks!

I've got a faction rating of 1000 and a paycheck of 779 stags, according to my 'show info' thing. But I can't for the life of me figure out where the man with the paychecks are. I've tried in the exigo factory (granted only the first level, as it seemed to hold important personnel), the trade camp, the blackwood HQ, and the exigo fort in Mirakus Mines. I'm with the blackwoods, incidentially.

[GodBeastX]

It's automatic. You don't have to go anywhere. Paycheck pay is added to you swiss bank account. So just go to your bank account and get richer!

It only executes the check every real time hour.

Pretty sure I put in code to notify you when you get payed as a server message, but I can't check code from here.

[Farmboy2003]

You mean to say that it goes automatically to my bank account? I don't need to initate any npc conversation? This means that my paycheck value in my pc info is the amount i get in a week, and not something I need to pick up?

I'm not sure if i got a message when i logged in. I'll keep an eye out. Maybe start writing down my balance in my journal when i log out for a while.
