Insurance for Lootable areas
« on: January 30, 2013, 09:29:30 pm »
I suggested this to the devs a long time ago so i thought now would be an appropriate time to bring the idea up again to them...
How about Insurance terminals ... such as bronze/silver/gold insurance,where you can buy different levels of insurance appropriate to the players gameplay style... so "resources" could be covered by the Bronze tier insurance,"valuables" could be covered by the Silver tier insurance and finally the "Items" could be covered by the Gold Tier insurance....So if you are killed and it is inside a lootable area then depending what insurance you have taken out it will cover you upto that level of insurance and it is upto the player which one he feels compfortable buying/needing from the terminal.. if the player feels he can take a chance and needs no insurance that is upto themselves ... So when a player is killed he will lose the insurance (or one of the points if it is a bulk buy)... gl

For both my bounty suggestion, and your insurance suggestion, what needs to be taken into consideration is it is not balanced correctly, a player will let themselves to be killed (to be looted/insured, and to get the bounty). I think my and your suggestion are good ones, but they need to be thought out so that they are not taken advantage of.

the insurance idea is simple its nothing to be taken advantage of ... some people in AW can spend hundreds of $/£ on some of their gear they are carrying and needing ... So to have insurance for your items is not so far fetched.

How about ...


really.... pity u ..u just found out u need some Insurance

i sugest u to let the items in stor is the safest place , more than any Insurance or.... even more, just dont go there this is safest Insurence i ever heared, is no1 to puss u to go on L's

if u get an insurence why is called full lotable? ofcourse everyone can buy those insurance, so why not a simple L3 pvp and everyone is happy ( SC mostly i m sure ) no need for all this truble

the insurance idea is simple its nothing to be taken advantage of ... some people in AW can spend hundreds of $/£ on some of their gear they are carrying and needing ... So to have insurance for your items is not so far fetched.

If Player A loots Player B of items worth 1000awd, and Player B bought "insurance" for 100awd, then the two as a pair, could do this a unlimited times for 900awd profit each time, in between them. This is the kind of advantage i'm talking about. Agreeing with someone to die for some sort of benefit. creating awd out of thin air, so to say, this is my only concern.

I think insurance is a good idea, because if you pay at a terminal then the devs make money off it, and if you have valuable stuff, its a really good idea.

Example: any of the bonus items from this promotion or from previous competitions. just as an example, i don't think anyone would want their E2 hk looted.. and the main purpose of an E2 would be for pvp, probably, so leaving it at home in the storage wouldn't make much sense

I want to clarify i did not mean insurance where you pick up some awds from it for being looted ... i mean insurance where if you bought it you DONT lose your items but lose your insurance instead so no awds are made.

A one time "get out of jail free" type card i think would be excellent. Wherever you revive though, from there and to wherever the terminal is, you'd be at risk though, until you manage to get to the terminal that allows you to buy the stuff. The Attacking player would simply get some sort of message "no loot was found" , and they would have to assume that the player used insurance (or really didn't have anything). Something of this sort would be simple and satisfy my concerns. Only thing then left to decide would be the insurance options and prices/when/if they'd expire
