Fame points to buy items.

[ZakkEvo]

The new fame point system is bugged or they just messed it up because every time i buy something it takes fame points from me.
i can understand having items and weapons behind a fame point/skill based system BUT.. taking fame points away for items i buy is stupid... i buy a couple of items and then i cant buy anything else even tho i have money because i have no points left.
This needs to change or ill just play dayz again cus this is stupid.

The idea is that it makes it harder to equip yourself with multiple weapons and lots of ammo. You need to decide to make or buy you weapons and/or ammo. I cannot say if I like this or not, to early for me.

Sorry to hear that. You can drink out of rivers, pumps and wells that are around the map. Dont drink from the Sea. It makes you sick. Eating fruit will also make you less Thirsty. I am just telling you what we, I, have found out after the update hit the server I am on.

Crafting and Building now gives you FP too. Yes it is annoying.

You are meant to be on a prisoner-island, not at walmart. Tec1 merchants reward you with shopping privileges based on how much entertainment value you provide to the masses. Find a water bottle and fill it in the river.

This is actually a thing? Huh I didn't even notice it when I went there to buy some mags and ammo for my m9 lol

[moltenfang666]

Well it is clearly said that FP will be consumed when you buy stuff in the patch note. I guess its because of the background story of the game which your character is in a live TV show. So audience doesnt want to watch you get money and buys stuff because its boring. They want to watch you pick up the rusted weapons and bullets and kill each other. Thats how you get famous. So the new FP system kind reasonable.

[srmacpherson]

they introduced an unnecessary "feature" before fixing the rest of the game, and now this unnecessary "feature" broke the game.

This time it was money, and purchasing things.
It was half-assed to get it out there for an update to say "hey, we're still doing things!" but because it wasn't properly thought out or coded, people complained.
So they came up with another half-assed "fix" that three people think makes sense, 46 people thing is stupid, and 51 people wish was never in the game in the first place.

again, this time its the money thing.
its always something new. and no, they never really fix it.

Not messed up, it's how it should work now.

a) I don't see a problem as you'll earn FP from playing the game. You can make 500 FP in few hours of play. If you sell stuff you'll earn few FP
b) I personally think that if 0.7 come back I'll leave the game as was so dumb to gear up.
c) take your time and come back later when new stuff will be added

Its designed to prevent people from collecting a bunch of garbage then turning it into a full custom kit in an afternoon.

It's funny, when the traders were added in everyone was "This is the end of scum, traders are to op, it's to easy to gear up!". Now everyone is "This is the end of scum, traders are useless, It takes to long to gear up!". Anyway, I like the new system, it makes people go out and do stuff, it may be a bit out of balance right now, but I'am sure that will get sorted out. It's defiantly a step in the right direction.

[thomas_1611]

I would like to hear some dialog from the trader NPCs to the effect of: "oh poor baby doesn't have enough fame", and "if you want something from me you have to entertain the people". Basically have the NPC dialog match the fame system.

They should be TEC1 employees who are driving you to produce content for the show, not so much money hungry merchants.

You can have 1000-2000 fame in 30mins, pick olives, sell olives.

While its true this is a problem its not a problem of the fame system but of how those items are valued within it. That kind of balancing is a given as time goes on but the system of spending fame has a goal which is still firmly working.

The truth is that it is not well done. With 21 fame points you can't even buy underpants.
