What's a protected amenity worth to you?
+1
Fuck that, Mu sounds like a bad idea. why? glad you asked, everyone payin 60 bucks to get 500 favs to protect every single thing in their cell, i say... make it 500 favs to put a protection on a AMEN or just leave it out all together!
just so we are clear you are talking about a code that will protect your AMENs right? like you can buy protection from the warden and he can place it on one of your AMENs?
if this is what your thinking Mu, well will this be temporary, liek more time your cell gets raided the less effective it will become? or is it permanent? if it permanent Mu gotta make it high cost in all fairness of the game! this game will get boring if u start listening to fools who jsut wanna reign supreme with the best cell, make it competitive, where your always watching your back... that what a lot of these other inmates don't seem to get.
I think 50 is fair for a "confiscation protection" at least for DVD's. Personally Mu, I don't mind if raiding takes a protected amen IE a DVD, Bookcase w/e. Reason being is that it takes a coordinated effort by either 1 person or a team of 10 (though you can and have addressed the virtually instant clearing of a cell by a team) to accomplish a break in and if people again make quick work of it, the numbers can always be tweaked.
I don't think that protecting an amen should affect raiding at all IMHO, only the confiscation aspect. With both currently in full swing we don't have a mass of Bookcases, Xbox's or any other hard amen being grabbed, we have a mass of DVD's. I think having a 50 favors per DVD to keep them from being taken by *you* but still able to be raided would put things into a bit more balance.
Sorry if this doesn't make much sense or is a bit off what you are looking for. Just got out of the ER after 5 hours and they gave me some good pain killers. In either regard, if you are mainly speaking of DVD's or actual amens and raiding being affected, I think 50 is about right.



your so wrong, if people put protections on all of their AMENs for 50 lousy FAVs each, well RAIDERS will lose interest in even attempting to raid a person, because a RAIDERS big reward is that 7% chance of swiping your AMEN, thats why they do it! now u put in this protection code and BOOM, everyones making Mu rich but also making the game very boring with everyone having shit protected. now this wont change up the entire game but it does take out a good factor, watching your back and not getting caught slipping
SpinelliMu I personally think PB is at, or near it's peak! When I think about what we had a year ago when I was a LVL 1, man these new cats got it made! Remember how hard it was to make LVL 20, 911 did they wanted you to make a 911 statue AMEN, well you dont hear that shit any more. I am just saying I see not a thing wrong with the as it stands right now. I mean I am sure you will cont. to release new AMENs for holidays and etc.. But as far as making it optional to buy protection for anyone of your AMENs, well I would say to make it fair and not effect any other part of the game too much, best thing is to make it like at 500-1000 FAVs per AMEN protected
- We're not sure of the amounts. What IS it worth to have an amenity protected? We've already isolated rare from common amenities and scaled the costs appropriately (it IS favors in most cases), but really, what's it worth?
- If everyone has access to protecting amenities, will it once again render raiding as fairly useless (other than snatching cash and items)?

How am I so wrong, when in fact I stated twice that I don't mind raiders taking amens? The only thing I did state in regards to raiding was in fact if big enough teams were virtually insta-clearing cells that numbers could be tweaked in that regard. Again, please point out where i am wrong on how this would affect raiding when I clearly stated the protection should be against the confiscation and not raiding?
Good lord man, the first sentence even states the body of my post.
EDIT: Also 50 favors per amen, if that is where he is going with the game would equal on an 8X9 $540 for a protected cell that I can only imagine if you were to sell something the "protected status" would be cleared.
What other game have the majority of people on here paid $540 dollars for what wasn't at a casino game or required you to be over 21 to play? Just saying, that is a lot of money for a game that is not only in Beta, but a video game.

Billaba...we do want protection but just my idea make it so pricy so that every one cant really offerd i dont raid but it will be unfair for lower levels and raiders if itmcan be done easily
Your are wrong cause you state that you dont think a person having a fully protect cell wold affect raiding? your high clearly. if a raider knows that a lot of the higher LVLS will be placing a protection on everything in their cell, or least the irreplaceable shit, then you think they would wanna raid someone for that luck 7% chance they get a shitty ass DVD PLAYER or TV ON A CRATE? it may be beta and a video game all day fact is making it more exp to place a protection would make it worth it on the long run, i see your just a here for now player! you just wanna get a lot of shit and then sell if back to the people perhaps? IDK... but think about making the game more competitive, more challenging! i mean there are guys on here who prolyl find this game boring cuz there lvl 30 and no one cannot even touch them. like Bluesky. the most fun he can get now is making it to lvl 40 or being the first to make it to lvl 50 or 100 lol... LONGEVITY is the keyword.
[Edit] BTW PPL have paid way more on this game than 540 for a a single Item! Bluesy has 3000 some CC for a big hefty price, and i know for a fact someone paid him for all of it. so paying big $$ is nothing new to this game, you can make it pretty fine with out ever spending a dime trust me!
