Didn't they just update the travel plane icon literally a while ago? How did they already scrap it and change it directly into travel inventory slots

Instead of adding a new travel inventory page, they straight up replaced the flight screen she designed lol

 

when the faction needs a lot of Xanax, we can just ask members to camp abroad with zero cash to minimize any risk of getting mugged.

Then, we have the whales fly out with massive cash to bulk buy Xanax (high-level players have a super low risk of getting mugged abroad), and distribute them to the other members who are already there to bring back.

Even if they actually get mugged, those big factions can just use it as a pretext for being disrespected to launch a surprise war, completely counter-mugging those weak factions who dared to disrupt their Xanax buy.

 

what those big factions might do down the road

I'm on a PC monitor though, do I seriously need to change some extra settings or something?

Also, quick question: if I pop a Xanax mid-air and OD, will I be hospitalized or what?

Is it gonna be like hardcore mode where you emergency land on the spot, wait for your health to recover, and then resume the flight? lol

Noko_Sudama [4247546]

Since I found out we can send items to friends who are in the same country, would this lead to factions mass bulk buying? Like, a bunch of newbies just stuck in the foreign hospital while a faction whale buys everything and distributes it to them?

Noko_Sudama [4247546]

Maybe in the future, big factions will set up shop abroad to bulk buy and forward items to hospitalized newbies to bring back. Plus, you can use Xanax to stack Energy while abroad, and just fly back to train once you're capped?!

In the worst-case scenario, you disrupt a big faction's bulk buying abroad by attacking them, which triggers a surprise war declaration

You’ll be hospitalised when you land in the country of destination. So there’s 0 risk if you just pop it on the way back, you’ll just  be hosped in torn but then you’re wasting an item slot, which are already more limited when one slots been taken away. 

cdrxby [3881565]

Makes quite a lot of sense. Imagine getting 15x noobs with no money for xans from your fac to fly to UK with a fac banker on-hand and one 1bil+ stat player who’s less likely to be mugged. Buy 30 xan, send to noob, give them a cut, fac banker sends more money, rinse & repeat. Faction/player is insanely stocked on 750k xans. Noobs are at 0 risk of mugging & losing cash, can just fly back whenever they’re out of hosp. 

pdk [3626257]

... or just get the noob to fly, buy, leave? if the noob doesnt have money for 30xan, then they likely arent flying enough. Besides, the cut would have to be huge for the noob to not just buy flushies and make actual profit from the flight. Like if you tell a noob, heres 30xan, fly back for 100k instead of buying 30 flushies and making 3m, theyd tell you to fuck off

RoeFlo [4104474]

There are items with limited stocks which restock at unpredictable times as of the update. It's hard for new players to camp abroad and it's impossible to plan your hosp out time, until we can use morphine, with the restock.

 

It is possible and easier to hosp yourself and wait until a faction whale fills your inventory when whatever item you or the faction is after restocks.

Knirt [3033570]

Would suck to od and need a revive in another country lol.

 

I like the idea of a lot of this.  Need to see how they do it.  Almost anything to make flying interesting is good imo.

cdrxby [3881565]

Yeah, understand where you’re coming from. But again, they run the risk of mugging with 25m on-hand buying them themselves, and if you do it at a decent scale e.g you get 200x of the Xanax stock, it’s still profitable to give them each 2-3 xan for one flight which is 2x more profitable than a plushie run to the UK rn. & this hypothetical at that scale would most likely be to benefit a faction for war, 200 xan at 750k cuts down xan costs & increases war payout, so they’re winning regardless. 

Avery [2765920]

I'm mostly with you. Hate this phase 2 part with no items, but I'm cautiously optimistic for what comes next.

 

It does suck that we're down to 28 items though, then 23 with armor, and 20-22 depending on taking a single weapon vs full gear though.

What I meant is, when the faction needs a lot of Xanax, we can just ask members to camp abroad with zero cash to minimize any risk of getting mugged.
