Debate: Rewardblock with no Rewards

 

I've recently found Superior Robot's rewardblock. When I got to the scene, the rewardblock looked as if I already captured it. Knowing that it was already reported of the bug, I pressed E to capture it anyways. After me yelling, "Imma Boss" I realized that there was no money that was added into my pouch.

The story is, once you get 1 rewardblock from the player ,you will get no "mullah" with the other ones they put out. It is to be for "Skill Points", but there are no skill points yet . . ..

Do you think we should be able to get the rewardblock money now UNTIL the skill  points come into place?

FYI if you already have received gold from a player's reward block, you won't receive gold from any of their other reward blocks.

That is extremely BULL. Then there is no point of players having more than one. Why is this?

He should change that.

Maybe for skill points?

But since skill points aren't here yet, why not have the gold obtained now?

He should change that.

Agreed

When I first implemented it, kjh was planning to build a bunch of ghost towns with a reward block each acting as a guestbook.  I think reward blocks should be a very special item, and shouldn't be something that is just gamed to get lots of free gold.

Can't you just apply that to kjh?

 

Also, on a slightly unrelated note, I think we should be able to change the amount of gold in a reward block should we so choose, as long as it's between 1 and 250. Then we could actually use them as guest books.

I'm totally lost now with this whole rewardblock thing. I'm sure that you could get the gold once from every rewardblock. If that was changed as stated. Then why the F would you want to get more than one for anything especially at the cost of 10plat. I guess it's only real purpose now is as a guestbook. Oh look I got 2 or more dungeons... 1 reward in 1 and ... none for the others

 

I appreciate that sim did add something but this really was a bad Idea right from the start.

[RobbyZ]

I should probably remove gold as a reward from reward blocks entirely, since people have been exploiting them

GREAT!  If you do that then make skill points worth something.   (I have 28 skill points and nothing to do with them)

 

Maybe make special blocks that you can only buy with skill points and cannot trade.

[RobbyZ]

That's a good idea.  I had planned to make it so you had to unlock blocks with skill points, but then I added the leveling system which pretty much covered that.

[Thanatos Hades]

Well I think the best thing would be to return all the rewardblocks to owners and reset them, then fix them as guestbooks only. This brings up another problem though. Whats the point of having a guestbook when it can be moved. Guestbook should be built into the townstone since its unmovable anyway. Doing that though renders the rewardblocks 100% useless.

 

There should be something that can be done about proper rewards though. The problem is how do you prevent it from being abused...

How about unlocking SPECIAL items with the skill points, not special, SPECIAL!

Sim, there can be special blocks that any level can get. Like 10 reward points gets you some armor... shield etc.   Since we don't need scum to make many accounts to get reward block stuff then trade it, all of the stuff should be un-tradable. And every month the reward blocks reset where you can get more points.  Like 10k points gets you invincibility.

I agree. In the case of armor/shield, it could probably be incorporated into clothing, just giving a bonus when worn, though I'd quite like to place them as blocks

 

If the reward block system changes though, we who purchased them should be given the option to get an at least partial refund should we choose.

I don't particularly want to have wasted plat if the system changes and I'm not so fond of the new one.

[RobbyZ]

I like the idea of special rewards that are non-gold/non-tradeable.  Solves a lot of problems
