I have a couple of questions I'd like some feedback on. Please Answer by replying to this post.

1) Is the game fun? Really fun, kind of fun, funner than going to the dentist?

2) Can you think of anything that would make the game more fun?

3) Is the game too hard? Too easy?

Thanks
-Ben

I think that if you were a player who was just starting out, and you got lucky and received an item that you could sell for $5000, that would make things a little too easy for awhile. You could bribe indescriminately, and not really worry about false accusations.

I could make it so that high level favors sometimes award lower level prizes. As long as people wouldn't be too upset by that.

Just a suggestion for the agency toolbar button, in case Sleuth Admin hasn't decided on one for himself yet... How about a safe?

I think that's good, so higher levels may sometimes award "lower" level items. No objection.

i object... i havent even made it to ver hard favors, and i definately don't want to drop back to getting grey umbrellas. especially for unsubscribed people, who have only have one chance for a favor a day and don't have an agency equipment locker to get better stuff...

I guess it's just me but I find the "more valuable" stuff isn't.

Ben, I think the not fair thing is kind of moot, since there are already beginner agents who sign on with big agencies, who are tackling early cases with a plus 12 charm modifier from the goodies they get from the agency locker, so it's already not an even playing field.

Maybe an equipment level requirement wouldn't be a horrible thing, along with these suggested changes...

Perhaps a beginner should be allowed to wear an uber-item (to make it fair for freelancers who don't have locker access), but not get the item's skill bonus until they've accumulated a certain amount of experience.

I second Fat Chuck. I think some "lower-level" favor items -- like seal skin stuff, tommy guns, white lab coats -- are very desirable. Maybe at least let these things get through if not the grey umbrellas and plaid scarfs of the world: that is, maybe have high-level favors give *both* 12000 and 8000 value items (and even higher level favors give 14000, 12000, *and* 8000 value items).

I agree with Sirgarr and Fat Chuck. Jwonie, don't simply object without knowing what it gets to be like later :) You're not getting Rasputin's Eggs and other such fun "high" level items (no, I love the eggs though, honestly). I could certainly have voiced the same opinion back in my time of endless grey umbrellas, but times do indeed change. Nowadays, I would not mind at all if I received an umbrella or two every now and then :)

Negasong is absolutely right about beginners having access to high level items anyway.

And the last thing that has bugged me lately: when the favours only went up to Really Hard, I did that for about 2 months (ok, not nearly, but it feels like). Therefore, after the update I've jumped straight to Incredibly Hard favours, which in itself is absolutely right for me. But - does this mean I've missed out on a whole level of fun items?

Yes, sorry. There is a bunch of items associated with Really Really Hard favors that you advanced detectives missed out on.

I'll tweak it so that favors can give you items from further down the ladder.
