[Fastest Fix] Make items duration game-time. (READ Goodman)

[ikerhoek]

So,

Quote:6:00 pm. Get back from work
6:01 pm. Settle a bit
7:00 pm. Start BFH
7:01 pm. Buy a wep for 150 VP, 1 day duration
9:00 pm. Close BFH
>>> [fast forward]
6:00 pm. Get back from work
6:01 pm. Settle a bit
7:00 pm. Start BFH
Where the hell is my wep?!?! o_O

Many of us will waste 150 VP in a wep that lasts for 2 hours.

I can take all the other stuff that you've already done to BFH since I know there won't be turnback, can you at least change weps so duration is while logged in-game?

That way my 150VP will be a lot more worth to me and even clothes will be something i could consider.

I was thinking the exact thing.

I'll buy it for a week knowing it'll actually last 168 hours in game-play time.

NOT from the time I purchased it, the time I actually used it.

I totally support this idea, 100%. It'll also help the VP prices a bit, as you won't have to play for 5 hours a day anymore.

You'll still have to, but the bonus is that you won't have to do 5 hours in 1 day, since the thing will last 24 hours game-time.

In fact, you'd end up with enough VP to buy the weapon for almost 5 days afterward.

edit: read that wrong, nevermind. You get my point though.

But, it will never happend since it conflicts with Dice's gr33d™ strategy...

[V3N0MX]

Yeah nice idea

[connorhea]

easiest fix was to keep old weapon prices make uber weapons new prices for regular weapons and get rid of crude aids. Crude aids cost so little you were able to abuse them without even using the 7 vp you would win for that round.

there strategy is to get MONEY lots and lost of MONEY so they can live good and be happy wile we complain and they ignore us.
but i totally (950%) agree with you!

[DrGooch]

would be nice to see but will never happen, this would cause prices to in essence be cheaper that what they were prior to the switch, the average "casual player" does not play this game 24 hours a week thats roughly over 3 hours a day. I totally support this concept but the odds of it happen are a snowballs chance in he11. the downed servers this morning caused me to lose half a day on my uberwep at 450 a day I would love to get that back too.

Please make this happen.
I would like my crude bandages back too please!!!

That would be a plus ^^

I think your weapon being actual play time is great and would actually solve the problems people are having atm. This would also be a happy medium to EA wanting more cash as weapons wont last a month before they expire.

How is the current time used on weapon calculated?

For instance I've equipped the Rudolf's Uber Rescue for at least 4-6 hours in-game but it registers as 1h 13m in my most current profile update.

An explanation could be the time used when you fire the weapon not the total time equipped.

[xPaRaNoIAx]

asked so meany times since update. And Suggested before the update by myself (link in signature).

[Thrackk]

It really should be game time and not real time.

[FatGazelle]

I like the sound of this idea, although it would need extensive testing... btw, doesn't this thread belong in the Suggestions forum?

[iRambo0oOo]

i support this idea 100%

[onered]

Agree.. i am also one of the unfortunate ones that have to work! These prices are rediculous!!

[Tea_and_Biscuits]

Sensible Idea, value for money, and less punishing to any downtime experienced by users.

I love the by game time and not real time thing. Unfortunately it must not be a viable business model, Ive seen a couple Korean games try it and they both went back to buy for real world time. S4 League and cant remember other Wolf something
