Title: [Danzy] Add a Mystery Box
Post by: #AsTa on 10 08, 2021, 05:50:14 am
So my suggestion is adding a mystery box that randomly spawns anywhere around the whole map (this could be reduced to just inside/nearby the cities depending on where you support).
This box spawns every 15 minutes - 30 minutes and respawns to another location if no one picks it up. The box can be divided into different rankings. The content of the box is also random depending on the rarity.

[
Now Here's the Fun Part!
When you pick these boxes up, you can choose either you open it up or you sell it to the server via F7 This is also open for auction (if the Auction System suggestion will be added). The pricing of the boxes has the minimum of 25% and maximum of 75% depending on the highest worth of the box.
For example a Common Mystery Box which has the highest worth of 10,000, pricing will be 2,500 - 7,500.

 Common Mystery Box
The content of the box will be worth 5k - 10k
Pricing: $2,500 - $7,500

 Uncommon Mystery Box
The content of the box will be worth 10k - 100k
Pricing: $25,000 - $75,000

 Rare Mystery Box
The content of the box will be worth 100k - 250k
Pricing: $62,500 - $187,500

 Unique Mystery Box
The content of the box will be worth 250k - 500k
Pricing: $125,000 - $375,500

 Legendary Mystery Box
The content of the box will be worth 500k - 1m
Pricing: $250,000 - $750,000


For the probability of the spawning of boxes
Common Mystery Box       - 40%
Uncommon Mystery Box    - 20%
Rare Mystery Box             - 5%
Unique Mystery Box          - 0.01%
Legendary Mystery Box     - 0.001%

I am not really an expert in calculating the probabilities so I'm open for all proposals
.


I've replaced my suggestion with Danzy's since my values are absurb and the idea is lacking. The credits are all his.

The existing mystery bag script can be adapted to this, considering the mystery bag has been the same for at least a decade, and I'm working on it.

Just to say, the values you provided are overkill at best and there is no way any Administrator or developer will agree to a value this high.

There are 5 rarity types: common, uncommon, rare, very rare and legendary. It has the same blip and physical characteristics as the current mystery box.

When you pick it up, you'll be given a choice:
Press 1 - You open up the box, take the risk of getting the goodies (which are decreased for very obvious reasons), or you blow up, and the chance of blowing up increases the rarer the bag is. :D
Press 2 - You sell the bag to the server and get an amount at the lower limit of the rarity for that bag at no risk of blowing up.

Common bags, high chance of spawning:
Value range: $15,000 - $35,000
Sale value: $20,000 or lower
Chance of blowing up: 1 in 10

Uncommon bags, not as high chance of spawning:
Value range: $35,000 - $55,000
Sale value: $40,000 or lower
Chance of blowing up: 1 in 5

Rare bags, decently low chance of spawning:
Value range: $55,000 - $80,000
Sale value: $60,000 or lower
Chance of blowing up: 1 in 3

Very rare bags, low chance of spawning:
Value range: $80,000 - $130,000
Sale value: $90,000 or lower
Chance of blowing up: Also 1 in 3

Legendary bags, very very low chance of spawning:
Value range: $130,000 - $200,000
Sale value: $140,000 or lower
Chance of blowing up: 50/50

Don't we have such a thing already? Every X period of time, a box that is marked by a '?' symbol on the mini-map appears in random places (I guess only in LS). If you managed to open it, you either get exploded or get some ammo of X weapon/resources, etc...

Yes the principle is the same but the utilization is different. With the mystery bag you can't sell it and the content is only worth less than 100k. But with this mystery box you can profit or you can lose money, depending on what you'll do with it. For example if you open up an uncommon mystery box, you get a 10k worth of resources or money. But if you were to sold it for 75k and someone bought it thinking it might profit them, you can earn more.

This would be a good idea, but how about we make it purchasable instead of a random event, so it would be an interesting way to spend your excess money, since you can also get more money from what you paid for. But in my honest opinion, if this were to be purchasable, I don't think the mystery box price and what it contains is good enough.

Common Mystery Box
The content of the box will be worth 5k - 10k
Pricing: $2,500 - $7,500

 Uncommon Mystery Box
The content of the box will be worth 10k - 100k
Pricing: $25,000 - $75,000

 Rare Mystery Box
The content of the box will be worth 100k - 250k
Pricing: $62,500 - $187,500

 Unique Mystery Box
The content of the box will be worth 250k - 500k
Pricing: $125,000 - $375,500

 Legendary Mystery Box
The content of the box will be worth 500k - 1m
Pricing: $250,000 - $750,000

How about

 Common Mystery Box
The content of the box will be worth 5k - 10k > $5,000 - $125,000
Pricing: $2,500 - $7,500 > $25,000

 Uncommon Mystery Box
The content of the box will be worth 10k - 100k > $15,000 - $375,000
Pricing: $25,000 - $75,000 > $75,000

 Rare Mystery Box
The content of the box will be worth 100k - 250k > $45,000 - $1,125,000
Pricing: $62,500 - $187,500 > $225,000

 Unique Mystery Box
The content of the box will be worth 250k - 500k > $135,000 - $3,375,000
Pricing: $125,000 - $375,500 > $675,000

 Legendary Mystery Box
The content of the box will be worth 500k - 1m > $405,000 - $10,125,000
Pricing: $250,000 - $750,000 > $2,025,000

And I suggest to add 1 more box

 Immortal Mystery Box
The content of the box will be worth $1,215,000 - $30,375,000
Pricing: $6,075,000

That way you can get 1/5 from what you paid for and up to 5 times what you paid for, I would be addicted to this for sure :d, Positive.

Well, I've already experience this type of suggestion and it is really fun because it is really rare and too hard because you need yo be faster just to get it but what I experience is the mystery box is "Black Van" (the van that you can sell armor) and the black van will gonna give a random resources and it is really cool and enjoyable to participate, so adding this will me more active a player because they know that they are already a Mystery Box which is can give you money and you know some player especially a newbie will gonna love this one, Positive.

Another idea of getting money? aren't we making the game more balanced? Well, actually most of the suggestions are about spending money since the players we have right now does have alot of money and the things we are spending on is mostly not that expensive. This is a fun idea ngl but I don't think this is necessary at this point. I'm voting negative.  :cros:

We already have enough jobs, events and such as collecting money from, your idea isn't that bad but it's giving too much money. Let's be honest, everyone wants to make a ballance to the server and "specially" to make ballance in the income money. Thus, as Mitrok's said, many players got a lot of money to spend, if we add this such of ideas, they will lose the motivation to keep playing the game.

The worth of the boxes are waaaay too much. One reason why I suggested this is I want people to spend money, not make a lot of profit. And the boxes spawn every 15 - 30 mins so I think the maximum worth is too much. I can also support having a fixed price for the boxes, but for it being purchasable, I dont think so.
But yeah, I like your idea and I am willing to include the Immortal Mystery Box, but the worth will be $1,000,000 - $5,000,000.

One reason why I thought of this idea is because I want people to spend money. Who won't get tempted by a mystery box that might contain a lot of cash/resources right? This is RNG (Random Number Generator) so you won't get profit all the time.

Also since we're talking about "spending money", I want to insert something to my suggestion.

When you're about to pick up the box, the server will ask you. For example, Will you pick up the Common Mystery Box? for $7,500?. So generally, you're still going to spend money. The RNG Gods will decide wether you'll profit from the box or get something else than what you paid for. I am hoping you'll reconsider your vote and ponder more upon this suggestion. Thanks for voting!

This is a very bad interpretation of the good idea which can be designed and implemented into the game. Buying loot crates with money to get money out of it? Gotta go negative for the lack of imagination.

Common bags, high chance of spawning:

Sale value: $20,000 or lower
Chance of blowing up: 1 in 10

Uncommon bags, not as high chance of spawning:
Value range: $35,000 - $55,000
Sale value: $40,000 or lower
Chance of blowing up: 1 in 5

Rare bags, decently low chance of spawning:
Value range: $55,000 - $80,000
Sale value: $60,000 or lower
Chance of blowing up: 1 in 3

Very rare bags, low chance of spawning:
Value range: $80,000 - $130,000
Sale value: $90,000 or lower
Chance of blowing up: Also 1 in 3

Legendary bags, very very low chance of spawning:
Value range: $130,000 - $200,000
Sale value: $140,000 or lower
Chance of blowing up: 50/50

This is a very bad interpretation of the good idea which can be designed and implemented into the game. Buying loot crates with money to get money out of it? Gotta go negative for the lack of imagination.
I think you kind of misunderstood, this works almost the same as the current mystery bag. You're not buying anything, you're finding a bag which has a certain value of money (or other stuff depending on what team u play, of that value) based on the 'rarity' of the bag. Once you pick the bag up, you can either risk blowing up to get more money, check my list above, or you can just 'sell' it and get the bag at nearly the lowest amount for that rarity.

Your idea is more plausible than mine. This idea will be just giving a buff to the already existing mystery bag. I am willing to change the suggestion to this as long as the community supports it.

Since this has been unlocked I'm gonna give the credits to Danzy and replace my suggestion with his.


It's actually a good idea, but as you know there is an event in State Official duty. Already state officials are hosting mystery box events, so why mystery boxes will be special? Civilians will not try to find mystery boxes state officials put. Even prizes are so much, so, a State Official mystery box event maximum pays 100.000$, you are saying 750.000$ for us. State Official's mystery box event will not be special then? We will not request mystery box event from State Officials, already every 15-30 minutes it creates mystery boxes, when State Officials will create mystery box? They will never create it, because people will not search it, they will search 750.000$ mystery box. I apologize but my vote is NEGATIVE

Kindly read the suggestion again, I've edited something. Thank you.

Well this would be a fun activity to have beside the scuba diving thingy we already have but the difference is that this one is going to be on land so It will be more competitive for people to drive fast and try to reach it as fast as possible so they can seize it before anyone else reaches it and claims the reward I don't see why we won't add this in fact I think it will add more fun to the game and will make people have fun chasing each other and racing to reach the box which will be very exciting and fun.

If there is not SO Mystery Box Event, I would vote positive but there is mystery box event and it must be special for State Officials, I explained above, when it is added for every 15 minutes, we will not miss SO Mysterybox event, we will not want a mystery box event from State Officials due to there are mystery boxes in map every 15 minutes. Really that idea will be so bad for CIT. Due to those reasons, I am negative.

I am not replying to you anymore because Danzy's already working on this and I felt like its worthless to reply to you anymore. But to make you UNDERSTAND, this is NOT only for civilians, this is for EVERYONE. The SO Mystery Box Event is only for civilians and can only be placed by SOs, so it feels like you're attacking the civilian side wanting to remove a feature they enjoy. AND also please read the suggestion again, the Mystery Box will be an improvised version / adapted of the ALREADY EXISTING feature called "mystery bag". Nowadays, I barely see anyone race to the mystery bag so adding this will give it a boost and improve competiveness between players.
Which part of the suggestion is so hard to understand, I wonder?

Yes, it's finished. Check [Danzy]\CDdanzy\mysteryBag.slua

This might need some more testing as I feel it hasn't been tested enough for potential exploits, although most anti exploit stuff has been transferred from old bag script anyway so...
