Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo
-
@ThisGuy Aoa was kinda like one of those places on Tiger King. It was Shoddy and Shady as hell. The owner and a chunk of the staff was nuts but everyone one was having a good time or so it seemed. Then you start peeling everything back you find sexual harassment and abuse.
-
@ThisGuy That ungodly horrible shuttle system is the whole reason I got a ship at all. Seriously, who wants to risk being stranded at the arse-end of the galaxy just 'cause there’s no shuttle going off-world (yes, there were literally worlds that had incoming shuttles, but none going offworld)?
But even with a ship, I still go offworld as little as possible. The coded spaceflight system is a needlessly overcomplicated mess.

@Popes well…
I have the entier sereitei put together. Working still on the human world and then need to put together hueco mundo. Just finding time to sit and do descs is the problem. I got dss to work only to see if I can make it function the way I want. More as a reference for rolls and abilities than a true skill system. Only reason it was broken from my source was because dahan misspelled something… Which isn’t uncommon for him. And cg is in place but needs to be set up. Using a lot of faraday stuff.
But yeah fuck AoA. Just a bad vibe man.

The real reason Cujo refuses to remove transit times for space flight is because of how many planets have vendors on them, and how many people are insanely obsessed with going to as many vendors as possible. Some went to so many planets that he actually has the how many planets a player has landed on in a day tracked, among many other things.
Ironically one of the absolute worst vendor obsessed people was given a staff bit and now likely has access to seeing the entire list of valuable vendor items that are on vendors at any given time. Which he had made so that he could see what was where and could remove really valuable items from that vendor if someone he didn’t like was heading there.
Dude created a system that forces players to visit vendors to get items, and then he punishes them for it. Just another of the AoA puzzles.

Imagine taking this iconic sandbox people from multiple generations grew up on and deliberately extracting as much fun from it as possible.
It’s like a time gated monetized grind but with the added layer of absurdity stemming from the fact that nobody’s making money. What the fuck?
-
@Zephyr NOT ONLY THAT, but there used to be a secret vendor with crazy mark-up prices… so that you could buy, say… 10 personal scanners for 2,000 each, then sell them for 25,000 each. Or some similar crazy markup.
Who needs to abuse the trading system, when you can abuse the vendor code, instead?
-
@Zephyr That explains why I never found anything good on a vendor.

That seems like a lot of effort just to set money = 9999999.

@Jumpscare but of course they’re so worried about properly balancing the econ system for ordinary players. /S

I’m not surprised that they’d do that though. They also have it set up so that you can always see who purchases what on a vendor at any time, and for how much, so buying things for cheap and selling them for more had been eliminated for the most part, outside of a few instances that were unintentional and fixed. This is all outdated information by a year and a half though, I haven’t been on the game since then so who knows what other gross ways they’ve found to screw people over.

@Zephyr and to think. I couldn’t name that one vendor on tatooine ‘The Janitor’s Closet.’
I miss the simple days.
