I can pretty much guarantee it's not donator status, it's not access to the donator forum and it won't be a special friends list. Whatever that is.
Conman27 [239575]

Any ideas then? Cause I got none then. Because its not passive, and requires 25 job points. So it can be used only every 3 days.
Beerstein [1322136]

You're bad at ranting, there was almost no complaining. Also when you complained about yours you ignored the fact that bonus weapon damage is better than 25% bonus strength.
Beerstein [1322136]

I believe it means everyone was complaining about a special I was excited about and ready to dump money on so now that special no longer exists anywhere and you get "special privileges" instead0...Dicks!
kyle8048 [488020]

That's actually dependent on stats if it's better or not. Also it's just melee which will lack in strength compared to the boost weapons will get when the new ammo and attachments come out.

I think for the fitness centers instead of the life regen and happy loss specials they should have something like -10-20% drug cool down, and a passive increase to defense since you can't trade job points for defense anymore. And I don't get why the education special was reduced since now we will have to be 10 stars just to do what we can now I didn't see any other special being cut down that way unless I missed it.
Beerstein [1322136]

A few were cut down like that. My main gripe is that the same special was reduced when respo came out with the reasoning "it's going to be better when 10*s come out so we're gonna get a jump start and nerf it, in the long run this is actually an improvement" then it got nerfed again, it's not at all better than it was as a pre respo 5* company, it just requires 5 more stars to get there. That just doesn't sit well with me at all. I don't like the whole "nerfing it for when things change later" stance in the first place, nerfing it again after the fact feels dishonest. IMO learn from the mistake, cause yes doing this IMO is a big mistake and stop tuning stuff to how it will be in the future until that time comes.

I think life regen is super important. Next time you war you will quickly find out how quickly that med CD fills up and you're screwed with only a 25% life regen revive as your only option.

I quite frankly think the proposed Zoo perks for 7 and 10 star are hit and miss. It is the perks for 1/3/5 stars that as mentioned, pretty much blow. But I would like to share thoughts on all 5 perks.

1* - plus happy. Honestly never used it and after update still won't. Not sure this is actually even a benefit with any value. Whether it is plus 20, plus 50 or plus whatever, there are so many better options based on other companies, being stat related, item bonus or otherwise. Travel bonus for travelling hunters. Shorter flight times to SA (special tickets to SA only?)

3* - plus 15% hunting bonus. Ok based on being passive and being a zoo, but again only beneficial to long term hunters looking to get the 3 merits and max out their hunting skill. Would certainly provide a larger incentive to hunt and/or own/work a zoo if the % was either much greater (like the proposed awareness) or was stair-step increased to coincide with hunting skill increase, so as people continued to hunt they would see even larger long term gains worth the time/energy investment.

5* - plus ketamine drug. So trade job points for a drug no one uses or sell on item market for $13000? That is our fancy 5* benefit? The happy might be better. This is a useless perk. Almost any change would be an improvement. Like job points for speed (accuracy) to go along with other accuracy related bonuses associated with zoo.

7* - plus 70% awareness. So instead of having a ok chance of finding a $3 item in the city after searching for hours, I can improve my chances with merits and this passive bonus to having a great chance of finding a $3 item in the city? Since Ched has mentioned previously with awareness that the improvement is only is frequency not quality, this seems like saying "good new you have a 90% chance of winning the $2 scratch off ticket". Would much rather see the progression of other important perks zoo related as mentioned by others during the initial comments on the proposed new perks by company. Unless this also changes the value of items found considerably...

10* - plus 25% accuracy. This seems like a nice passive perk. As long as it stacks with any other speed bonuses from merits, education,etc. This stays in line with other accuracy type perks and would coincide well with the replacement of the 5* bonus to be job points for speed. If I am missing this and it is actually bonus weapon accuracy, then well, chit...

Love to see some feedback from zoo owners or any positive suggestions to the perk changes.

Despite the miniscule 3 energy per job point. Which i feel should have been raised to 5. I still feel furniture company has the best overall special . I like options. & Being able to use points on E or str. with the 25%passive str, increase gives the best overall experience imo.

Clothing store coming in at a 2nd. agree with you though its kind of disappointing that there's not more to spend the job points on.

& Oil rigs would have to be a 3rd for me. & thats only because of the increased bank interest. But due to the way Ched said the new sytem is going to work. I don't see my self sitting in 1 for a whole month just to end my bank investment by a few days at most.

Pubs & restaurants still look pretty much the same just with a small tweak when you hit 7 & 10 * But i like them still mainly for the fact that they have more than 1 special that basically isin't fluff.

Some of the other specials for other companies are pretty nice aswell. But it seems like most are only limitied to 1 deceint benefit while the rest are useless rubbish.
_T_ [1009930]

I had that same opinion at first. & thought E special should be the same all around for companies offering that perk. But when you think about it. The rest of the specials suck pretty hard. If it weren't for the E specials farm's & gameshop ( i believe, sry dont feel like going back to look through the list again)wouldn't prolly cease to exist.
Conman27 [239575]

I agree these need to be fixed. There needs to be a sync for job points other then happiness, because it is insulting that Ched thinks that 5 job points is worth 12k for ketamine. IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. He said he was going to change things around, and he ended up changing things for other companies completely ignoring us. The other top 5 tier companies have WAY better specials, and a means to actually make money for the employees other then just their daily wage. We need to compete with Oil rigs for employees with high enough stats to actually work for us and our specials DO NOT help at all. Give us something to work with here.
_T_ [1009930]

Another thing to take into consideration is. The importance factor for all these companies can change instantly depending on the new crime system (crimes 2.0) when it's released.

Ched mention special perks for completing so many of some crimes. & depending on what these perks are & how they will influence gameplay. Companies with specials that boost certain crime's success rate's are likely to attract more people just to attain a perk, regardless of how popular the other specials are
Beerstein [1322136]

Special is fine, Ketamine itself needs to change for the better IMO. All drugs need to be improved minus a few IMO.
_T_ [1009930]

Drugs 2.0.
Best be taking all the Xan. we can. While we can. But not stocking up on more than we'll be able to use, or get rid of.

Not saying it will be for the worse. But im skeptical if it will work out in our favor.
