Churu Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) You people complain too much, ffs, take 1 or 2 hours to fill your house so you dont need to spend as much money on gear.

Everything is fine as it is.... @Gnashes this is working intended, correct? I'm not complaining, hell I use a 6.5 99% of my civ life. I'm just adding my thoughts on the current status of the crafting. Also it takes some time to get a house filled up with enough load outs to last a few fights and you gotta weigh in the responding time it may be faster and crucial to win or loose to regear at a rebel and get back that 2-5 mins faster...

... Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 weapons are pretty gud right now. I think that maybe being able to craft hunters would be cewl. Maybe a honor perk to be able to craft them. Crafting Orcas and chopping them is the best source of money. Link to comment
Sheriff Rick Grimes Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 In all reality, I just wanna see the AKM cheaper to craft. Can't put any kind of optic on it and it's just immersive and could be the go to gun for drug running and what not. Link to comment

There's plenty of reason to fight arms. 1. It's the most balanced cap. 2. It's simply fun. 3. You get money from it. 4. You can craft ifrits. 5. it puts your name on the map. 6. You can craft/buy the mk200 Link to comment

A coke run in the same truck gives you more money, while taking way less time. So youre way better off making money other ways and buying the mk1s at rebel yourself. I propose we cut the materials required to make weapons as there is 0 incentive to craft them (barely anybody does) making weapons personally should yield more guns than you would be able to buy in the same time doing other altis money making techniques, as that is the whole point of crafting weapons. And lets be real....1 coke for 1 magazine? Why even add that Get good and run guns in Box truck / Mohawk with Panagia, 15 guns gg noob. Jk jk I do agree it would be cool to see gun crafting yield more arms as I have quit gun crafting and would rather buy them.. Maybe I would go back to it if got more guns and ammo. I also def agree with dreamC let us make Mk-1 and stuff like that too without Arms. But at the end of the day all you plebs are doing is asking for the game to be easier. So the dark side in me wants to say, cry more plebs cry more. Edited December 29, 2016 by DJB Link to comment

badbam Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 I own a house at vehicle factory and run guns regular. the money i get is so sad i refuse to sell them and just give them out to my gang mates instead. Even with the perks from Panagia its not worth the time unless you have a house extremely close. MK1's would be a welcome addition with out cartel ownership. As of now the only guns worth making is the mk18 or 14. 8k for an ak12 is the most you will get per gun and at 25 cocaine per. It gets grindy fast.considering if you processed that same cocaine and lost a cut at the processes you still make more money. Some people make the argument that processing should make significantly more because of the risks at processor, but it seems to me when ever i have a failed coke run is almost ends at the field. + you can always hide your cat at the processor. there is no where to hide at the field... once the cops see your car they will tear the place apart looking for you and even if you manage to hide your car is going to get seized anyway. this is just a few thoughts.

Herr Jordel Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) I think if we had a new material to craft the weapons with like some sort of illegal iron... the crafting system would be separate and more people would think that it is worth it because you don't have the option to just get more money at the dealer. I understand it's a question of risk and It should be made so it's fairly risky. If it were to happen I think a lot more people would be crafting. Also it would be nice a black market production in Tanoa Edited January 4, 2017 by Herr Jordel Adding a commentary Link to comment

JimmyBeans Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Most the tough stuff they added in 6.0, like crafting weapons and what not got reverted right quick. Was a good idea, but some people couldn't handle having to craft top tier weaponry. Link to comment

You also have the added bonus of making guns cheaper for everyone else. I may look at the recipes though to tweak them a bit, but don't forget the intangible of having less overall risk (since Black Market is much less traveled than Rebel bases). Link to comment

It is much less risk (that seems to be everyone's main argument), But when you have to drop 150k or 120k to do it affectedly it becomes so not worth. + if you buy anything on the side of the map that close, it is the only thing you can do with it. at least if you get a coke house it could double as a scotch house. The only way I could see getting people back into it is to lower crafting cost. raising the money you get would not work out will, or so i think. Link to comment

I agree there is less risk and therefore should not be worth the same as the processed coke. I just also think it should be a bit higher than 50% of the value. I obviously don't have the numbers, but I feel like crafting is under utilized, tweaking the recipes or payouts slightly could fix that. Link to comment
bamf Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I'm looking at this on dev now (using S1's database from 10 minutes ago), and this is what I get: I crafted an MK18 with 25 unprocessed cocaine and 4 uncut diamonds (which is the recipe for basically all 7.62 weapons). I was paid $7,150 for selling the gun back to the market. If I had processed the cocaine and sold it, then I would have been paid $10,550 (plus I could have technically processed then sold the 4 diamonds for $780 - bringing the total to $11,300). For that sake of simplicity let's say it was 35% in reduced payout from just selling the items (market volatility etc coming into play here). I didn't have to go to cocaine processing and have a progress bar to convert cocaine to processed cocaine, and then have to go to a drug dealer to sell the cocaine, and finally have to get to an ATM to deposit my money (the Black Market deposits the money right away for you). So we have eliminated two additional areas in which the APD currently patrols, as well as the possibility of getting robbed with cash on you. Does 35% seem too high for all of that? That is an honest question... Edit: I get $8,000 for the AK-12, so that's a smaller cut than above. Hanzo/Dirty Scrubz and HotWings like this Link to comment

No 35% does not seem too high based on what you have said, I think it is pretty reasonable given the risk vs reward. If anything bamf, I think legal weapon crafting needs a bit of a pay boost so more civs do it. Edited January 5, 2017 by Hanzo/Dirty Scrubz Link to comment

Sure, you have less risk but I don't see how making guns cheaper for everyone else is even a bonus, you are giving cheaper guns to people who are going to use them against you. That's not something that is going to motivate me to go craft weapons for everyone else because nobody else wants to do it. It not all about risk versus reward, it's about getting people to craft the weapons and that the people doing it feeling like they are wasting their time. If you don't want to adjust the payout then you should be adjusting the increased price of high demand, or even the rate at which weapons can be taxed. But if you are going to look at the recipes then change the AKM's crafting materials to be much more cheaper, especially cheaper than the AK-12 Link to comment

bamf Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 So we are in agreement that the 35% hit for selling the guns at Black Market is ok then. Very few people have responded to my question about that. As for legal gun making, I'll take a peak at that as well. I think it's largely functioning well though. There was the vermin bug for a long time - but the money didn't change, just the fact that you needed refined salt. HotWings likes this Link to comment
