[Sirg2424]

Tried to register and I get this:

Message:
Registration disabled. We are preparing the game for launch!!!!

[4Mogger]

same here.

[Lance]

Should be fixed now. Give it a try.

[Kurtuleas]

I am STILL waiting on my e-mail for activation.

[HalfFastFord]

I am STILL waiting on my e-mail for activation.

[firemountain]

[TN-D90]

[Erik D_lux]

When I go wheeling I get money, then I break and it takes all my money?

Its flashing that I have 5 messages. I dont have any?

[Wisers]

Worked for me... didnt say anything about an email though.

[firemountain]

still not working for me.. keeps saying I need to activate my account through my email:confused:

[Project_Samurai]

waiting on email since last night

[Lance]

Everyone is in now. Get to wheelin! :flipoff2:

FYI - there still are a lot of small tweaks I will be doing to the game. Yesterday is the first time I had really even had time to sit down and look at it and play it. So over the next week or see expect to see some changes/enhancements to it. If you have any suggestions, feel free to share them.

[DRM]

In.

[Sluice Sally]

Thank you for finally getting it up and running! Now I just need to figure it out....:rasta:

[Lance]

FYI, I will be making a TON of changes/additions (that should have been done before it was released, but oh well :rolleyes: )

[Kurtuleas]

FAWK!!!!

I beat grendel who was sitting on $1,817,206,578,333 and it gave me:

NEGATIVE ,153,783,623 (the comma in front is there, i I lost more than that...)

You are only level 4...

I just kept training and moving up in level until I could hit you..

[Kurtuleas]

Cool.

Thanks. I think...

Zero is MUCH better than -500,000,000 somthing.

But I HAD like 11K

[Grendel]

Should I start monitoring for trainers?

[Kurtuleas]

Should I start monitoring for trainers?

:confused:

I am not doing that at all. :flipoff2: I just have a little system down :D

I just gotta make sure that i am AHEAD of Bobby.

[TN-D90]

bought 2 donator packs and neither one has showed up on my account

[Sirg2424]

Shoot everytime I log in after loging off from getting my Butt kick, I am still stuck in the Hospital. I think if your not logged in ppl can still challang u for some reason.

After loging off Randal106 has hit me 4 times while logged off for some reason.

[Sirg2424]

BTW this game is SWEET!!!!!

[randal106]

After loging off Randal106 has hit me 4 times while logged off for some reason.

[Sirg2424]

You've got lots of money, and i dont lol:D ill back off a little, got a system down that works pretty good for mileage....yeah, im at work

Thanks, Yeah I found a system to make lots of money, I just need to figure out how to make the mileage, and EXP. And I am at work too, LOL....

[Jamus2]

I just have a little system down :D

I just gotta make sure that i am AHEAD of Bobby.

I think I know what system that is.:flipoff2: Bobby isn't even registered yet.

[Kurtuleas]

Dude....Bobby is the MAN at these kind of games. He will log-in tonight for the first time and be at level 10 by tomorrow.

[Kurtuleas]

Dude where u up all night playing???? I went to bed around 11 last night and you where lvl 10, I get up this morning to mess with the game while smoking my morning cig, and I noticed you where lvl 14.:mr-t:

Thanks for breaking my rig this morning... :flipoff2:

[Sluice Sally]

Any word on donator packs? When do they take effect?

[smewhtguy]

Great now I have another way to waste time not working on my junk.:flipoff2:

[SIKJEEP]

I still get a error message sometimes at the bottom of the screen after you do a wheeling trip

[4Mogger]

Attn: Hammy *snort, snort*:evil:

[misterfubar]

This game is painful.

[Sirg2424]

I do to!!!! I think there are some bugs that they are still working out.:p

[BB1980]

Started a new thread about bugs in the game

[bspencer]

w00t

[bcoop2004]

can anyone give me a quick synopsis on how to play? what does each of the training modes get you? best ways to increase mileage and skill? how do i earn money other than jobs and crimes? Thanks.

[bspencer]

for money you do the #1 crime a job and sell glitter... also dont for get to do all 100 of your wheelin trips each day

the #1 crime is also the best way to add mileage and with each lvl you gain you get a bigger skill bar

[Jamus2]

One thing I noticed when I started out was that you need some stats before you can even complete the #1 crime. Also buy a rig.

[zukota]

we need the spy feature (maybe I'm not at a high enough level). remember from mw when you could 'spy' on a player and find out their stats - to determine how badly you could whoop up on them prior to attacking? p4x4 needs that.

IMHO MW is where its at as far as text based games... alot of nice features etc on there

i like the being able to heal option, mugging, assasinations and being able to see if a players health and if hes in jail or the hospital by just looking at his profile

[Jamus2]

One thing I'd like is a 1-click fight, if it's possible. Going round after round with someone is not only annoying, but I'm sure that it slows the game down for everyone else. Much like doing the #1 crime 70 times. Which is the only reason I do the higher crimes, the #1 crime would take forever.

yes a one click fight would be nice.... especially when im at work on dial up at night......lol

outlaw life had it and so doesnt 4x4 country

[TN TJ]

count me in for another addiction.:D

[Kurtuleas]

It's lonely at the top :flipoff2:

[Sirg2424]

It's lonely at the top :flipoff2:

Hey I am on my way to the top, I missed a day playing and fell from 5th to 10th. Shame on the mess!!!!!! :flipoff2:

[randal106]

It's lonely at the top :flipoff2:


send me some glitter and ill be up there with ya lol

[bspencer]

Hey Kurt. think MOR Inc should be gettin ready to roll?

[Jamus2]

Notice our testing gangs are still up? Need to delete the first MOR before staring fresh.

[Kurtuleas]

Hey Kurt. think MOR Inc should be gettin ready to roll?

Yeah...

Especially since we created the Sierra Club and are at war with you fawkers! LOL!!! :D

[bspencer]

if i wasnt on dial up here at work i might catch up...lol

i havent even been playing 4x4country the last few days

[Grendel]

Well, we can add a few things to spice it up a bit... shall we? :flipoff2:

[zukota]

yes please :D

[mopar redneck]

I've just been way too damn bored. I got up to level 20 and I'm done. Takes too much time outa the day.

[misterfubar]

I've just been way too damn bored. I got up to level 20 and I'm done. Takes too much time outa the day.

It will soon become like every other game... whoever has the most free time or money to waste will be at the top.

I would enjoy it a lot more if the server it's on wasn't so painfully slow. Click(5 second pause) Click(8 second pause) Click...

[bspencer]

a one click fight system would be the best thing for this game right now

[Kurtuleas]

a one click fight system would be the best thing for this game right now

???

Just about everyone but Janus seems to be a one click fight. :D:laughing::D

[BB1980]

I am on DSL, but the game responds like Dial up......

May not have been a good idea to run it off of the forum system.

[Jamus2]

One cool feature of a game that I can't remember the name of was high speed training. You could basically dumb a lot of glitter into a specific training all at once, without the refill-train-repeat cycle. Things like that, one-click attacks, and reducing some of the repetitive windows could speed things up. However there really aren't many people playing yet and it's already slow, so imagine what will happen when we get as many people as we would like playing. I'm not a computer guy and don't really know how these games work from the insides, just trying to help improve.

Cove of Pirates was it

[Jamus2]

Could have been.

[bruteguy]

OMG this game is so f8cking gay why are yall playing it?

Why did it take you guys so long to put it together it would take like a day cause you have it on the main website which is gay as hell cause you cant see shit on the page your on

[SIKJEEP]

Hey,
My rig capability did not refill today what the hell, it stayed at 0

[jimhat]

How do u guy have so much money already?? and how old to you have to be to get the Mustard Dog account?

[Jamus2]

I think the mustard dog bank is level 50. It gives 2% with free withdrawal. As for money, you can always sell me glitter or bacon, that can get ya lots of money.:D

[Lance]

It's not on the same system(s) as the rest of the website. It is on a crappy server though.

[yjwith60s]

It's been going long enough I think I will try it.

[tdktank59]

New FASTER Server

http://woodlawnwt.com/pirate4x4/

Old url will forward to new server. Soon the url will be an actually forwarder and stay the same. But for now its just forwarding to the temp url.

Let me know how the load times are!!!!

[bspencer]

YES game is ALOT faster now!

[misterfubar]

Much better. I'll actually play it now.

[Sluice Sally]

Thanks for fixing the load time:bounce::bounce2:

[mopar redneck]

Damn now I can't keep up with it!

[tdktank59]

lol boo hoo...

I think you guys will live...

[Nav8tor]

Every night it should replenish but theres limited qtys to help the economy be pricey!!!

So yeah lol

Ill probably setup a fun script to randomize restock times!!! so that way its never the same time.

[santacruz77]

[STEW<CO>]

Um, all you do is click buttons and read text, pretty lame when your used to games where you can create a whicked rig that you can see and control on real live terrain. I'll stick to my ps3 thank you very much.:confused:

[Arizona_Jeep]

Okay I'm giving it a try, same username, so, what are the gangs for?

And do you have to be on to gain energy?

And do I get paid for my job?

[Jamus2]

Okay I'm giving it a try, same username, so, what are the gangs for?

And do I get paid for my job?

Gangs are just for amusement, as is the whole game. But you won't gain much from them. It's kinda like, you train and do crimes to become stronger, so you can put that strength to use in a gang, and beat other gangs. Survival of the fittest, or the one willing to spend the most cash as is usually the case.

Your stats regen while you are offline as well. Just come back on a regular basis and do what they allow you to do. Here's a tip for training in the gym, wait till your energy is full, you'll benefit more.

You have to apply for the job, then go and clock in everyday. You get pain at the time you clock in.

[Arizona_Jeep]

I'm out of gas and I got $10 bucks and no can, how do I fill?:confused:

[dragon51]

You have to go to the shop and buy a gas can then you can fill it and do the comps.

[dragon51]

Competitions, do they do anything for you other then give you money if win it.

[proskier101]

the game is slow...what is the secret to makeing big $$ lol

i hate robbing the quickie mart for $10 lool

[bspencer]

now with the new version you have to use real money to do anything on the game

[Arizona_Jeep]

I'm considering the $10 dollar donation, only thing I'm affraid of is if they reset it, my money is GONE. right?

[proskier101]

do the schools do anything besides give you strength speed etc(like the first school does)?

[dragon51]

Do the The Wife beater Tshirt,& Small Quiver of Arrows do anything I can't figure out how to use them for anything?

[proskier101]

holy fawk i think yesterday was beat the fawk out of proskier day...bastards

[Arizona_Jeep]

If I buy two 1 gallon cans will that make it so it will be like have a 2 gallon can?

[Jamus2]

Pretty sure you can only have one of that item in your inventory.

[papee]

holy fawk i think yesterday was beat the fawk out of proskier day...bastards

Are you going to join or what? I accepted you the other day.

[Skippie]

Papee, how can you beat me when you're 2 levels lower than me and not in the top 20 of any stat? This game is faaaaaaaawked.

[papee]

Papee, how can you beat me when you're 2 levels lower than me and not in the top 20 of any stat? This game is faaaaaaaawked.

I am admin and not listed on the stats pages. I won't be playing the game much after it goes live, I'll just keep strong enough to keep people in line if they get out of hand.

[proskier101]

Papee, how can you beat me when you're 2 levels lower than me and not in the top 20 of any stat? This game is faaaaaaaawked.


ive attacted someone a level before me and lost...i guess it depends on how ou build yourself in the gym

[Arizona_Jeep]

I'v attacked people a few levels up from me and won.

[Skippie]

Yeah, and if you're an admin in the game, you know exactly what stat to train to beat people 2 levels above your level. ;)

[proskier101]

Yeah, and if you're an admin in the game, you know exactly what stat to train to beat people 2 levels above your level. ;)

well then dont fawk with him :D

[Jamus2]

well then dont fawk with him :D

That should probably be a given in most situations. It's like callin out Lance or Camo on the board here.:shaking:

[papee]

I'v attacked people a few levels up from me and won.

Yes, I attacked many levels above me in other games. These guys make it a race to the top game to see who can get the the highest levels while others sit back and build their stats. So when someone beats them they cry foul because they have no idea how to play the game. SO for you people that don't seem to be moving fast enough. Work on your stats. That's my suggestion.

edit: some of you may recall me from another game as TommyC, I had fun, gave packs away for contests I had and built up stats and kept quiet then ended up as one of the most powerful in the game. It was not my game BTW and I was not admin.

[Jamus2]

I usually try to level quickly, within reason, since at the higher level you can train better. Staff isn't on the list though, so who knows where they stand.

[Pto]

so whats up with the basic repair kit? It says "use" after I put it in inventory, but im not sure what it will do?
Also- is it a one time item? (hipe not, spent $1500 in it, to only get 1 time use out of it)

[papee]

I usually try to level quickly, within reason, since at the higher level you can train better. Staff isn't on the list though, so who knows where they stand.

Eggsactly, there is more than one way to play the game. Getting beat by someone 5 levels below you isn't a big deal. If you play the game different you may be stronger than people above you, maybe not. That does not mean you are cheating, just playing different.

Any way, I'll be moving on to set up and test new weapons and things to do in the higher levels.

It's real simple, just don't attack an Admin. If we attack you we are testing something and will either get you out or give you something to help get you out. Thanks to everyone for the help so far.

[Jamus2]

I'm sure someone who knows will answer but I'm curious too. Did it say how many positions you had for it in the inventory when you equipped it? If it said unlimited, then it probably is a 1-time use item, which is what I suspect.

One time use to heal

Basic repair kit.
Stat: 10 Rig Heal
Durability: 10
Cost: $500
level: 5

Yup, unlimited - so, D'oh! (spent too much on black market)

One time use to heal
Basic repair kit.
Stat: 10 Rig Heal
Durability: 10
Cost: $500
level: 5
Ok, 2 things here- rig heal- skill and energy, or health too?
and 2=on the announcements I saw a note posted about the items, and how that was goingto be checked, and no cheating, etc
I bought the repair kit on black market- but im still just on level 4 now - so did I cheat>? I didnt mean to, and once I use it its gone so...
(Its not in my announcments section here from home computer, but I read it earlier from work=did it get deleted, or is it my cache on 2 machines)

[Pto]

Another thought. Early in testing,I took several jobs, and quit, started more etc. So, my question is, can we maybe get that info added to our page or something, telling us which job we have, anbd maybe what it pays each day?

I'd hate to quit as President, then have to start over again at chump.

I'll talk to tdktank, maybe not on the profile/user page but maybe on the jobs page where you click to clock in for the day.

[Pto]

Cool Thanks!
(I have no idea what job I now hold)

[Jamus2]

So I'm sitting here in jail for another 40 minutes and a thought occurred to me. What if we were allowed to attempt out own escape while in jail? You'd need the proper energy, and the completion percentage would probably be lower. I think the option would be cool. And instead of adding an hour on top of the 5 minute jail stay, something more reasonable like 10-15 minutes added on if you fail.

[goinbigger]

What do you use to refill your energy? I go to the gym, and at the bottom it says to go to your inventory to get more energy, but what do you actually use to get it?

Maybe down the line, right now we're just trying to get the game done. We'll be adding more stuff as the game goes on.

Your energy refills on a timed basis, you can get a faster refill rate by being a donator.

[goinbigger]

So why does it say to go to your inventory to refill it? Is there a plan to later offer something else to refill it?

[Jamus2]

Well, bacon would refill it, but I wouldn't wast it like that.

[proskier101]

is it possible to add a small chatroom or a comm board in the gangs so that members can post in their own gangs about stuff?

[papee]

is it possible to add a small chatroom or a comm board in the gangs so that members can post in their own gangs about stuff?

It's in the plans, I'm just not sure how I want to do it yet. I was thinking of using a separate chat client that you could have your private room also for your gang. This way in a war you could communicate with others in your gang while at war. I think this would be more effective than one in your gang. What say the players?

+1

[proskier101]

is there another way to get bacon without having to buy a donator pack.

[papee]

is there another way to get bacon without having to buy a donator pack.

Yes>
1. Read the announcements
2. Get faster at sending messages

:flipoff2:


We are working on a feature that will refresh your energy using glitter. But the answer to you question is no, bacon can only be had by getting a donator pack.

[proskier101]

i think i sent you a messege faster than tjsooner...it just didnt relate to the announcement. lol :flipoff2:

using glitter would be nice because all it does for me is refill gas right? and use 1 to attack. lol.

[papee]

I think I moved the price up to 5 glitter for an attack, if I didn't I will be before we go live. Yes you are correct, right now glitter is used for attack and refuel. We are working on "Camo's Glitter party" now, it will refill your energy so you can work out in the gym more often. it will cost 25 glitter to refill each time.

[papee]

Just an update.

I got the stays in the hospital, jail, and impound down to a reasonable amount.
Now you can use the sporks and band aids and it won't take as many. There is also C-4 and Red Bull in the level 5 store that are more expensive but get you out while not using near as many.

You cannot attack someone that is already in impound or jail now.

The "Camo's gliiter Party" will be done soon so you can refill your energy with glitter. It will cost 25 glitter to refill your energy so you can work out more often.

I set both the regular player and donator energy refresh rate up so they refresh a little faster.

Things we are working on.
You will not be able to drop players from your gang while you are in a war.

You will not be able to attack someone in your own gang.

You will not be able to work out if you are in the hospital, impound, or jail.
I have reduced the stay times so everyone should have enough items to get you out of these things unless you get slammed more than others. If not, learn more about what you can do so you don't get put in jail or impound so much! Thanks all for the help, we will be going live soon. Nothing will change in doing this.

[papee]

Camo's Glitter Party is now up. You can refill your energy for 25 Glitter. You can find it under "Things to do" on the explore page.

[SIKJEEP]

it should be 10 like the old game

[papee]

it should be 10 like the old game

The number is relative, I'll be adjusting wheeling trips so you get more and I'm also adding more glitter to the jobs payouts.

[Jamus2]

Man, I'm on a bad roll. I've gotten no glitter for 2 days wheelin and my job stopped paying me too. I quit the job though and started a different one.

[papee]

try dumping your cache, I'm not having any other complaints.

[fpkites]

Man, I'm on a bad roll. I've gotten no glitter for 2 days wheelin and my job stopped paying me too. I quit the job though and started a different one.

Are you clicking the clock in for the day link? Gotta do 'dat.

[Jamus2]

Yup, was clocking in every day. I suppose I should have stayed in that job to help figure out the bug but I quit and got a different job. Works like it should now. Not much pay but it does work.

[papee]

I'll be adjusting the Jobs, I've also added some more gillter to them. I have some of them done.

[proskier101]

what is the difference between the game going live and now? lol

Schools, I think it was asked before but I can't find it. Any how I know they give you some stats. But do they do much anything else for you?

They are starting to get expensive. And this game dose not pay out very well, so far I just enrolled in junior high school. I did start from the fist school.


Also with the rate this game pays by the time you make the next level were you can hit the shops you have not made enought money to even get the up grades with out getting a few of the $10.00 donor packs. Is there any planned change for that?

Just some FYI on this subject.

Schools and Job have the info on now. I will be adjusting the dollar amounts as well as the glitter given by each job. Unfortunately, there will always be someone complaining about this issue. The people who rush to be the highest level will always be short of money because they didn't take the time to slow down, work on stats, and gain the stats needed for a better job as well as schooling.

This game was never meant to be a "race to the top" game and if you play it that way you will always be short on funds. Sort of like living beyond your means. If you don't have the money, you just have to slow down and wait until you do earn enough. I know what you are saying but I also don't want to flood the game with money.

[dragon51]

Cool, that makes perfect sence.

[papee]

I have adjusted the jobs so you get 75 glitter a day, between that and wheeling trips it will give some glitter each day for working out, attacks and working on your stats some. Wheeling trip glitter is random, you may get more than others, maybe less.

Thanks for the stuff(glitter/money/etc) for everyone. I had serious doubts if this game would recover from the restart but I can honestly say that I like the new version. I may not be at the top but I think it's a "funner" game now. Not kissing butt either.:flipoff2:

[fpkites]

Nice job guys - thanks.

[papee]

what is the difference between the game going live and now? lol

The only noticeable difference is the money and goods everyone just got for the help patience during testing and also you will have to be in the same city to attack someone as well as the rigs being level restricted. That's all I can think of.

Hey thanks, Tdktank deserves a lot of the credit and our new programmer Jon has taken the game over the top. We'll be adding new stuff as we get settled also. We know thre is still some work to be done and we are working very hard at making this game deserving of the pirate4x4 name.

Nice job guys - thanks.
Thank you for playing!

[KyleQ]

Ok - I feel dumb.. How do you gain experience? I've got 67pts after a day of wheeling, robbing and spending a crapload of money...

[randal106]

Busting people. crimes, attacking, training. i think busting gives the most exp it seems

attacking? How do you find people to attack. I found some people - listed under the gang wars area.

[randal106]

"Explore" "Members List"
look for people close to your level

[Jamus2]

One good idea is people who signed up but never played much, if at all. Find the level 1 guys who haven't been on in a long time. They should be easy pickens. And hold out till you get past level 1, the first level is the hardest and most boring. It gets better the farther you go.

Thanks for the heads up - it is a pretty tough level...

[Jamus2]

Well, there went the game economy.

[papee]

why do you say that, it was planned?

[Jamus2]

Maybe you know more than me then. A whole lot of money in peoples hands and not much to buy. However money becomes useless in most games like this.

[Jamus2]

Looks like the free money is over. Mugged a guy with over 100k and only got a little over 1k.

I would hope so being the one that set up the economy.

Because of some people abusing the feature we had to take the omney from non players to prevent crashing the economy.

what is your game ID? I'll look at it. If you have a problem please message me in game, I don't always get a chance to look here often.

[proskier101]

is there a way that we can view everyone in a city? its hard to fight people when we have to travel all around to get them.

[papee]

We'll probably add that later on once we get some of the other new stuff finished.

[Whitewater]

was the difficulty of crimes increased? Seems I'm getting busted more and I also notice larger numbers of people in the big house.

[dragon51]

Its all random, I have good stats and level and I still get busted alot on crime 1

[randal106]

EDIT. seems back to normal now

[Whitewater]
