- Bungalow (Camden St) and Church of St. Patrick (Southie) are now Paramilitary Connectors
- Balanced job prices & better distance pricing
- New Connector types respect XP, more dangerous locations
- Package Hubs stopped sending jobs to Data Terms & hidden locations

- Fixed Weapons/Armor shop bugs
- Typos & Clarified CyberSword desc

This is the push point Things are starting to acelerate in job system rewrite - THANKS to everyone who helped find and eliminate bugs as we re-did the system's underpinnings. It's paying off, I think.

The new paramilitary connectors ARE:
1) Interested in you delivering threatening, raiding, capturing and assassinating
2) Interested in a certain set of targets, the enemies of their faction.
3) Interested in targets on the outside of the wall
4) Balanced in price to existing NBZ contracts you can get from other Connectors.

These paramilitary connectors are NOT:
1) Identifying themselves as different in the UI.
2) Respecting your increased Reputation and providing you with better paying jobs.
3) Making any special allowances in their offers based on NBZ Rumors and Conflicts.

Both paramilitary and package hub connectors ARE NOW:
1) Recognizing your Knight's XP and sending you to potentially more dangerous locations

We'd love any feedback or reports on job bugs if you are taking jobs from these new connectors!

P.S. a Raid is a job in which you go and kill a group of enemies camped at a target location. We are working on a system such that a raided shop would be closed for a while after being shot-up.

Sounds great! Hurry Up Google! I want to go raiding.

[Xmadblood]

Just updated time to go raidinh and bug finding

[fallen]

Thanks all! Let me know what you find, comment on job prices, and the new job type!

[brass]

great! fallen just curious since it is a raid and you referred to shops being closed after a raid gets done: will you randomly get stash from the available inventory of the shop?

[fallen]

brass - interesting idea ... but its a raid (revenge killing) not really a looting. I will look into it.

[dann]

fallen Thanks for all the efforts! Package hub prices and end points haven't changed

Dang now im torn... i want to try new raiding jobs but i didnt realize until it was too late that the cost of converting runners goes up... so now i need about 100 xp to convert each runner... this is gonna take awhile... so ill be running with 1 runner for awhile... maybe i can take on a few raids

[fallen]

dann - I think you'd see prices in Package hubs should have increased. Anyone else can comment on this? Tested it pretty extensively on that front? If you are doing really close jobs, then maybe they look similar?

[dann]

fallen I rolled back and saw the same prices. Assuming a high xp, 100+ rep, what price range should be showing?

[fallen]

dann - guess I must be confused. Rolled back and saw the same prices? Maybe were talking apples to oranges. Currently, Connectors are not giving you any price bonus for high Rep or high XP (new Connectors types [Package Hub, Paramilitary] or old Connectors).

My expectation would be that Package Hub and Paramilitary Connectors would be offering prices for jobs that are very similar to the prices for jobs offered by other Connectors who are not Package Hubs or Paramilitary Connectors.

Hehe, gotta find an easier way to talk about this. The goal is that V2 jobs(Package Hub, Paramilitary) prices are equivalent or near V1 job prices.
