How about an explosive as one of the event prizes?

[Coco c]

Who else would like to see this? I like that we are getting some nice vehicles lately, but an explosive as an event prize would be awesome. It doesn't have to be a grand prize, even a small one would be nice since that's about the only thing in the higher levels that will actually increase our stats. What are your thoughts?

There are the Loaded Dice from back in April, around Easter.

I don't think they would be too keen on the idea of a lesser than grand prize being an explosive though. They charge a premium for non consumable explosives in crates and as limited items, and people still go stupid spending ridiculous amounts just to get them. Giving another one, possibly for free, doesn't fit the direction this game has turned. (The cash grab at every opportunity direction.)

Yeah, I know what you mean. It would cost a fortune, and some people are addicted and/or willing to spend a fortune on this game. It's a similar tactic to how pushers get you hooked for little or no cost to get you to keep coming back, and before you know it you've given away tens of thousands of dollars to fund your habit. Just a little more... Just a little more...

Lol, Payam has 500 hellfire missiles. Koralene had 300 hellfires and 100 of various others like briefcase bomb and claymores. More people than you think have a lot of non-consumerables. :P They are s big incentive for a lot of people to spend gold on.

This is very painful to read!

Let's do the math:

Vault of Gold = 1,500 Gold ($80 on discount)
Hellfire Missile = 150 Gold

500 Hellfire Missiles = 500 x 150 = 75,000 Gold

Vaults needed = 75,000/1,500 = 50 Vaults

Total RL $ Needed on Gold Sale = 50 x $80 = $4,000

$4,000

Let's do the math:

Vault of Gold = 1,650 Gold ($80 on discount)
Hellfire Missile = 150 Gold

500 Hellfire Missiles = 500 x 150 = 75,000 Gold

Vaults needed = 75,000/1,650 = 45.45 Vaults = 46 Vaults of Gold

Total RL $ Needed on Gold Sale = 46 x $80 = $3,680

$3,680

Vault of Gold = 1500, not 1650.

75000/1500=50

50x$80=$4000

$4k on sale, not including taxes.

You can tell how many vaults I've purchased, lol!

$4,000 for just explosives hurts my head

They already have...loaded dice was a 10th item

Edit: I'd like to see a non-consumable explosive as a RP item. Maybe around 25 A/D for 1000 RP

Agree, but I would be willing to pay a considerably higher price tag for an item like that. 2000 RP sounds fair. The top tier RP items are all better than the best cash items with the exception of the Exelero's defense score. An explosive at 25/25 would only be equal to or weaker than the best cash explosives. Since explosives are pricey to start with and you should pay a premium for it being non-consumable, I think 2k RP for a 25/25 non-consumable makes sense.

To make a non-consumable explosive really appealing I think something like 4000-5000 RP for a non-consumable at 40/30 would be pretty nice. It's not a huge stat boost over the cash items which would leave big spenders not feeling threatened by free players, and it would give free players something to work hard at that they can't have "taken away" by the super strong gold buyers.

[jobadass]

I think 1200-1500 would be more fair. Also, maybe loot drops could include explosives... we laugh at the Styr Aug, but an explosive drop with same stats wouldn't be so bad...and they could be consumable.

Pipe dreams tho, it's Funzio and they only sell stuff.

[dudeman]

True. Talking about what we'd like to see in Crime City on the forum is about as effective as talking about it with my pet cats.

They just yawn and walk away too though.

Sidenote: You're not around lvl 145 with same name are you? Keep getting a dudeman on my rival list, and I try to avoid attacking forum members.

[dudeman]

Nope, I'm sitting up there at 200. That sounds like it might be my old doppleganger "DudeMan". My name in game is "Dudeman", and that's only because autocorrect capitalized the D and I never cared to do anything about it. I used to beat on that guy every chance I got, and at the time I even changed my avatar to look just like him which for some reason seemed to save me a lot of beatings.

LMAO. I won't leave him alone anymore. It's been buggin me, but I never remembered to ask you.
