Been working the ladder connectors for their rewards. Would like to see more of the rewards be "special" as in the only way to get them be through working that ladder. If they offer a contact V-chip don't have that V-chip in general circulation for random loot drops. If they offer safe houses don't have that location available for purchase at a real estate agent. Make the gear unique in some way like you have done with a couple items already unless it's given out very early in the connectors ladder. Because of the way things are now you can easily get much of what most of the connectors offer without jumping through the hoops needed to have the connectors present you with that reward. My current CK had already gotten handed King's V-chip several times before Cava gave it to her. Same with Investigator Shahin and Texas. Wanting to work BO for Victor I baught the safe house in the narrows only to have him give it to me at a fairly high rep. While not every reward needs to be unique or special I think more of them should be so you really feel like you've earned something with your hard work.  |

I am always happy when I get King's chip because it means that I won't have to deal with the Fennians. I can see certain chips being restricted to never being in drops -- top of Cava's for instance, but my style will be severely cramped if the only way I can get the Gentleman King's chip is by completing the Blue Ox ladder.
The Water Damaged Apt is scheduled to be removed from the real estate offices, I think. Fallen wanted to, I objected on the grounds that we need two places to rest in Oxland or else a bad heat experience would demand a trip through corps territory. Now that VIP lounges rediuce heat so effectively, I have withdrawn the objection since you can blow off heat there. Assuming you have enough rep with the Oxen to be allowed in....
I'd be happy if Victor's and Texas Powers' chips stopped being available for general drops, though, the same way that Cognac Brawn's and Cava's are not.

Having Victor give a safe house is great just wish it was in another of the OX Zones so it would be really special. Then you could leave the Water Damaged Apartment in the real estate office as a second bolt hole for those not interested in playing overly nice with BO.
Not sure how hard it would be to change code so a location could be used as a safe house, so just removing the WDA from the real estate listings might be the only reasonable solution.

xdesperado - that very suggestion caused a deadly badger-storm last time. I am running for the hills  More seriously, #CK-911 for us to re-evaluate at some point.

A bit off topic but is there any chance of a safe house in AzTek Zones? Realize they have a large number of hotels already but a CK can never have to many safe houses...  |

Yes but suppossedly the safe houses will be getting some added features, hopefully in the not to distant future, so having at least one in each factions terratory could be more important... |

If the WDA goes MIA we'll all be SOL in my opinion.

ntsheep - thanks for sharing the opinion. It's been contested numerous times. I appreciate you weighing in, as the issue in our ticket system just says "Evaluate removing WDA" -- which means we need more information and it's not a done deal!

Here are some ideas I have about safe houses that could add to the games flavor,
1: If your leasing them then how long is the lease for? Adding an actual time limit to the lease might make things more interesting.
2: Having a limit on how much property you can own at one time could also be neat.
3: If your safe house is in a faction you have negative rep with, they seize it to prevent you from hiding from them.

Made new wishlist thread regarding Safe Houses. Hopefully will get this one back to the original topic of Ladder Connector rewards. LOL |
