Perpetual Code Bombs and Perpetual CPD's

Phrack

Very simple, really.

Perpetual items that when activated by the player, would initiate the "Code Bomb" or "Code Pulse Device" effect... then have the standard 5-minute-or-so reuse timer.

You mean an FX item that would create the explosion effect?

Why can't we have the real thing for luggables or something? That would be so much cooler and interesting, would add more fun to PvP AND the vastly un-fun luggables.

There's already terminator bits being used at every other Recursion Syntax event as a pvp device now.

May as well make and ballance one thats actually intended.

PvP has had enough "fun" added to it, in my opinion. Between FFA combat, the Intruder bits, Smith Rage Pills, and other consumable items, luggables and buffs, why not let something like this be strictly for effects? I think the last time the RP community got any real love was when we were first given the Prop Vendors.

Sounds like a good idea to me. More RP items are definately needed in-game.

I'm for this, especially since I was never online when any of those devices were detonated and couldn't witness them firsthand.

My only problem is seeing it used in PVP to lag people out. That or, say, a Mech uses it near a Zion/EPN/Merv org-locked building to mess with the event.

See, I thought about that too. But this is what I came to the conclusion of...

1. It would be a Perpetual Item, meaning it would only be obtainable as an event reward... so not everyone would have one.

2. In the off chance enough people with these Perpetuals were to get together on the server, they'd only be able to fire the item off once without having to wait for the reuse timer.

**nubious81**

or atleast make them a vendor item but say make them like 10 million a bomb or device

To me we almost need an RP area for stuff like this. Yeah, I know it'd get kinda annoying to have to go somewhere for it everytime, but that way it could stay out of pvp and live events. That way we could get spawns outside of just override bits, stuff like cpds, code bombs, etc.

**GodTier**

Yeah, I'll love seeing twenty code bombs/code pulses go off at events every five minutes.

RP construct? Players can use special effects and NPC spawns till there hearts be content!
Open up all the buildings so events can be run in peace.

Sorted.

Take a section of Downtown or something? A bit like with Sati's Playground.

RP construct wouldnt really work when trying to free a bluepill.

Why?

Uh... just... god damnnit. >_>"

Interesting concept... getting rid of RP in Live Events.

And here I was with the idea that that was all Live Events were. o_O

**Archangel**

Roleplay in a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game? Surely you jest.
