Ammo Lootable in PVP 3 & 4

[neomaven]

Now that ammo is looted from mobs, and PVP loot includes all looted stackable items (such as skins, resources, etc.), I think it would add an exciting aspect to PVP if one could loot the ammo of avatars one kills in lootable PVP areas.

Thoughts?

I agree, though if I were ever to enter pvp3/4 it would be as a miner and wouldn't be carrying ammo anyway sooooo I am a bit biased

Only drawback I see is that hunting in pvp3/4 becomes far more dangerous as the ammo you bring is vulnerable, whereas bombs/probes of miners are not.

hmmm i would agree with this that all ammo that someone loots in the zone could be looted, but i don't know about all ammo in general being looted... I think it would be hard to hunt the mutants and attackers in the zone if you only brought a small amount of ammo with you.. And ubers (Mulaak hunters) are no problem for a team of 5-10 with good guns. I would however love to see itamz that are looted in the zone be free to be looted sk 20's sk 50's etc. I definately hope MA has some major plans to spruce up pk in the near future VU's.. That is by far my favorite content besides bugfixes and lag fixes.

I say leave it as it is.

Hi,

i totally agree with this one.

I will become maybe more exiting, but on the other hand you may loose some "mobs" because less people will enter PvP3/PvP4...too exiting.

So please leave ammo as it is; unlootable...

Personally, this would keep me out of PvP 3/4. I usually go in there to hunt Mulmuun, and when I do I carry 300-400 ped in ammo. If this could be looted, then you can keep Pvp 3/4. There is simply no longer a reason to go there. I understand Pk'ers wanting better loots and that is fine, but I think that this would drive most away from the lootable Pvp zones except for the ubers. Who in there right mind would go hunt an area where they could lose all ammo in the hopes of finding an 80 ped (L) fap?
The only ones who would benifit from this would be the top PK players.

If thats what MA wants why not just make an Uber Pk arena with a minimum skill requirement?

Id rather see a city or 2 in the pvp areas for Urban combat!

Don't think it's a good idea....

-Packing up 300 ped ammo - TP-ing into PvP4 or 3 , before white fog is gone message: "Neomaven killed DRDoom using a Unique Dub & McCormic Terminator." >> Lost 305 ped (30,5 $) in 4 seconds

Don't like the idea, I think lootable PvP zones are exiting enough that you loose 5 ped toxic shot when killed and the loot you wasted your ammo for.
If they could switch off ammo looting in these zones and give other lootable stuff instead: OK, but not the ammo you are packed with you bought before entering.


My opinion would probably be different if I was the one holding the Terminator, Full Eon, +300 HP & a Mod fap....

I'd say no; first because it's bad as it is, with pvp4 (it seems) as the only source (*) for the new FAPs; secondly it's the "problem" with melee weapons and specifically the (L) melee weapons since you can't repair them with a limited value such as 5 ped.

Making ammo lootable is something that probably only pk:ers will profit of, because you probably need far less ammo to kill the number of avatars in a specific area than to kill all the mobs there.

(*) According to Zap loot table Hedocs only drop from Attacker, Mulmun or Muluk-Hir, and to craft them you need either Himi rock or Blood moss which both, as far as I know, are only mineable inside pvp4. I don't count the (L) faps that might come from spiders (I've tried one or two spiders and never seen an L fap in the loot).

[slither]

YES!

make the ammo lootable, maybe it will keep the thieving sods of the miners backs.
