Hmmm, nope didnt notice them. There was a FPC official though yesterday at Twins to inquire the player base about how they feel about vehicles ingame. Keeps things interested :) I wouldnt mind some FarCry2 kinda vehicles: small boats, buggies, para gliders, hehehe
cool ... only thing I'm wondering now is, how many of my limbs is it going to cost and how much will the decay be, will it be (L) and how costfull will it be to run it .. will they charge you x pecs for entering and leaving ???
I can imagine a range of vehicles. From cheap to expensive. Eg range from a "Pixie buggie" to a "Jaguar Humvee". I only wonder what it will do do the economic system of EP. Travelling now consists on walking, using tp's or tp chips. Using a vehicle might decrease the use of tp chips which might affect prices on ME. Maybe MA wants to balance that out by introducing "oil" as a part of th vehicle system. my 2 pecs
As long as it are not Toyota vehicles. I also wonder what will be needed to run them, will oil be needed ? What will happen with the oil price then ?
lol Toyota Maybe I can add a little more info here on what the FPC official would share. Of course he couldnt tell really much as he explained merely being a gateway to MA (not sure if I understood that correctly). Vehicles introduced wont have to be cars or boats or whatever rl vehicles we know. He had even proposed a kind of hovering board (remember the Back to the Future movies?) which was turned down by the art programmer. Maybe Im not completely accurate ( thx to the ) but it might show a general direction. Ofc the main goal will be to make a vehicle a logic attribute of EP.
Well they recently show cased vehicles in the game during the last wastelander event. Those wastelanders were driving to banks in jeeps and robbing them. We all got to see the jeep vehicles shame we were not allowed to drive them ... Must be pretty close to releasing some sort of vehicles if they are show casing them in game.
I don't use TP chips anymore nevermind a car, but knowing MA well a hefty deposit will be required for the initial purchase with varying degrees of decay and a fuel requirement of say 50 refined oil per mile or something, so I'll pass on this "once in a lifetime opportunity to drive a car in a computer game" (/sarcasm) and take the scenic route via my legs and be run over by the rich kids in tanks

I was there standing next to him a bit, we were dancin. Many present and and he sure took notes. I did suggest handheld flashlights too, and he was on about vehicle directional lighting sorted out LOL Just that those who cant afford vehicles could bennifit from handheld flashlights. So, what do you think is a reasoneable price for a car? Why not various types with various prices. Aaah yeah Farcry 2, got it, man that game took me right back home to South Africa. Brilliant game.
... and an action for shouting at intersections when the guy behind u is not moving cos he is talking with his friend by mobile about the last episode of Lost would be very appreciated ...
