Archived [suggestion] Crackin' Open Chests.

[Leon Vill]

It's me again, with another idea that some may or may not like! I am fairly new, I know the works, but I have only been here for 2 weeks or so. I was in a faction, and they were raided, BUT. I have no idea what they took, other than all my stuff I was holding. Fire doesn't spread, so they can't burn anything. They can't break blocks. All they can do is kill the defenders and take their stuff. But, with this whizz bang new idea, that will be nonexistent! How about a new skill, pick locking. You can pick the lock of a deadlocked chest, thus getting a more fulfilling reward. It can be trained like other skills, making the success rate higher, a BUNCH of stuff could be done with this! Tell me what you think.

I dont think this is a good idea cause if its just a skill then we can all just train it and pick everything,if they make it into a premium member thing then the server is gonna be a cash to win scenario which is not that fun

 

[illogicalleaf314]

Yeah... No... Players will never have everything they've worked so hard to earn taken away in seconds by some lolraid faction just because they have some obscure mcmmo skill.

I like the idea, but there would have to be like 5 to 1 odds against it plus some cost, like 2 iron plus a dia

 

[Dogdude1284]

Ehh agreed about the skill thing people would spend countless hours boosting this up till they could just break into places and steal everything

 

[favoured]

Seems like the perfect troll skill for a someone to master and basically cause everyone to ragequit.

 

[FireSoap]

No this will not be added. We have the deadbolt plugin for a reason.

 

[Aeromis]

The idea itself is not the flaw, but the way that it would be used is.
Massive craft is gaining new members everyday and the amount of rage there would be in global if someone were to get their items stolen would be unbelievable.
If it were implemented as a plugin the use of it would be very basic, loot someone's stuff to get better at looting someone's stuff, by doing this you are just creating a snowball effect for trolls. (bandit)
For you to get the most out of it the idea would be better implemented as a mod, with actual lock and keys for chest that could be enchanted with different traps and security levels. That would really make a raid more exciting, even enchanting your lockpick to access more secure chests!
Note: I remember seeing a spotlight on a mod like this I will have a look to see if I can find it again

Rather than picking locks on chests, It should be used to pick doorlocks. And it should allow us to open enemy doors at a certain level. With iron doors requiring a higher skill level. It should have a success rate, along with a material cost per attempt.

 

[Aeromis]

The mod I was thinking of earlier is called BetterStorage by copyboy.
Has some really neat ideas and planned features including vaults (which I love the sound of )

 

[Leon Vill]

Wow, a lot of opinion here. I think the door one and the fact it has a cost is good. I reckon, four fifths of the time you get a heart or two of damage?

 

[Aeromis]

I agree, the fact that you are getting access to someone's items should come at a large price.

How about a new skill, pick locking.
