ability to sell loot to NPCs?

[Phenixtri]

So yea who here would like the ability to not only buy from but sell their loot to safe zone NPCs for extra cash?

Like selling weapons, armor, ammo, food / water, & items to various NPCs for a set amount of cash.

Just a random idea of mine make of it what you will

By selling items to that designated NPC, the value of cash or TMD currency would be lowered. If this idea was to be implemented, items should cost more in shop or the looting rate in locations should be decrease somewhat. But then again, it's just an idea.

This wouldn't work considering people with infinite money could abuse this and make millions of cash.

Sell price could be half the buy price.

 

[Gangryong]

Sell price could be half the buy price.

that wouldn't work because all the stuff in the shop is free to people with infinite money, maybe instead you could find money (as a rare drop) in bags and get some when you kill someone? And then you could exchange them at a SZ for ingame money? They would be non trade able of course.

Also, the inf. cap is 130k, why would someone buy 130k worth of items an sell it for 65k? lol

I agree with it, it would greatly impact in the economy since it would be a great alternative in money incoming (besides killing walkers, that's way too much work and voting crates). But that impact would be very slow and progressive, since it would require people to go out and scavenge for real. This would bring a whole new perspective in the survival aspect of the game.

the reason we would turn 130k into 65k is because that 65k can be used for trades, but the 130k can only be used in the shop

 

[seuboi]

That would be terrible lol, it shouldn't be available to do such convertions. Maybe the "inf. money" should be a different form of currency used only for npcs, like gold coins (silly example)

I really enjoy the idea. In comparison with some custom warcraft3 map, the exchange rate could have many value. As example to make it more realistic, as its hard to obtain medicine in the show, why not selling loots for 1/10? If you fear its too much, why not 1/15? That way it would require like 10 Antibiotic to buy one! Or more realistic; 20 guns to buy an antibiotic, as example to save your mommy health!

As a curiosity, I would like to offer characters like Tina an another faith than selling herself when she ran out of medicine!

Thats kinda what i wanted ... to expand the whole looting and survival mechanic to the mod

I think that would be a great idea! But the problem is, Its hard to do. If you buy an item and sell it for more, its a way to make more money! If you do the same amount, theres not much point, besides if you don't mean to buy something and get a refund for it. I think you should only be able to sell the items you CANT buy.

 

[Phenixtri]

yea no making the sell amount lower that the buy price IS FAIR as items like this can be found and farmed for cash anywhere items spawn in the map.

limiting to selling items that cant be bought is what sounds pointless to me imho.

 

[Al_Cool]

What about some kind of black market like on Havoc horizon, or on some others server where players set their price and hope they will get money for their items...

 

[Sleep__Away]

Mhm.. if this was implemented then I could earn about $400,000 worth of items a day from pvping servers. ^-^

Isn't the infinite cap going to be removed?

You make a very valid point. The theoretically infinite non transferable money could be turned into theoretically infinite transferable money.

This has been suggested too many times its unreal. Its had a , mainly, negative response. This should not be added because its too OP (Over powered), this would allowed you to get infinite money. Just by popping to Atlanta and staying there selling and selling gear, tio

that all depends on weather or not you can get "safely" back to a safezone ,,,, And yea I know teleports for P2W players makes this unfair but said teleports are unfair to begin with and as such need to be removed as a feature for all but the highest ranking server members EG builders and server admins / owners and only for community events.

IDK about any of you but last time I checked teleports NEVER were in The Walking Dead TV Show let alone any of the comics and as such has NO PLACE WHAT SO EVER in a PVP / PVE """survival game""" based on said show >_>

I also find if incredibly hypocritical that you and potentially others like you are going to ***** and say this is OP but then at the same time allow for if not outright advocate P2W features like """"infinite money & TPs"""" that completely break all survival aspects of this game all for the sake of waging stupid jug / riot wars as if this was primarily a COD like TDM game instead of again a TWD based PVP survival.

The only negative feed back to my knowledge that you are referring to comes from all the P2W players who just want to maintain their incredibly OP advantages over regular non paying players

When you really think about it people It comes down to a simple question :

Do you want a COD like team death match oriented purely around wars or do you want a real survival PVP game thats "actually" based on the show and its lore?

You can have one or the other but not both people.

 

[Al_Cool]

It is not the proper thread to discuss such pvp game mecanic topic. I suggest you create a new one, since this is a good idea !

As for selling loots, what about 1/30 of the value?

well that is why the owners are making a realism server

That post is so ugly it put me off reading it. If you're going to quote my response to a thread please make it look nice and make me want to read it. All the " and the little emjoi >_> like no. Only weebs use those emojis, stop it. All these points you made are utterly stupid. This suggestion should not be added. It will be way to overpowered, thats why its been declined so many times its unreal.
