P4x4 Game Q&A

[Amanda G]

(Papee, is it okay that we have this here so you don't have to answer the same questions 8 thousand times and so new players can get some tips?)

So what are the optimum conditions to be able to 'bust' people? What do I need to be able to do that?

[Jamus2]

One of the programmers would have a better idea but it seems like the higher your energy, the better chance you have. It also helps to bust people below you, though in what stat I'm not sure. I have busted people with higher stats and higher levels before however. I think there is some randomness involved but again, the staff guys would know better.

Along the same lines as this, did anything ever come of that contest for writing a FAQ for the game, or whatever it was?

Sure thing Mrs. J, It's getting kind of busy here. Generally, if you can beat someone by attacking them you can also bust them.

[Hop]

how do you gain respect in a gang?

[Jamus2]

Start a war and attack the members of the gang you are at war with. Leaving them to rot gives 4 respect, mugging them 3, and the ambulance 2. You loose respect when they beat you.

[Amanda G]

Do you have to buy 4 tires, or is buying 'one' one set? :laughing:

I only ask because it doesnt say, yet you have 4 slots for equipping tires...

[Whitewater]

what benefit does bustin someone out give you? Is it just experience?

[fpkites]

Experience and good karma :D

[papee]

It's a set of 4, you have 4 slots to put in rig improvements. Each improvement helps your rig capability when doing competitions. Doing competitions also helps your driving skill which counts toward your success or fail at a competition.

So if your gang goes way into the negative respect, or stays in the negative for so long does it vanish? Last I looked I was -16, but had gotten beat some more over the night so I know it got lower. Now I don't have a gang anymore :confused:.

- Lee

[papee]

If your gang goes -10 for more than an hour it gets deleted

[bigdaddylee82]

Only and hour? Guess you've gotta stay up all night just to keep a 2 person gang alive.

[Jamus2]

Most other games have no negative or any leniency time. You hit zero, you poof.

[Mustard23]

how do you tell what Item is better then another one? If i went off durbility then Yukon 4.10 gears would be better then a Aussie Luchbox Lockers. is there a way to see how an Item modifies your rig stats?

[Jamus2]

It would be kinda cool to see how they modify your stats but I go by the money value. Either what they cost, or what you can sell them for.

[Mustard23]

that what I been using, just like it would be cool to see stats on the back market.. like what dose a hammer do? is it better then ramobo knife? or is a for your rig? etc before you buy it..

[papee]

As far as resale, I am going through and making everything %50 resale of what you paid for it. No need for that one. The problem is I only have so much room to display the information. I don't have room for two more columns.

The stat for rig mod is already there, whatever it says is what it add to your durability.

If it's a personal item, you go by the price it's relative to the power of the item. there's no real need to have another number there. If one item is $1500 and another is $3000 it is twice as strong. This also depends on your stats so another number there is useless. It may get one person more experience or put someone in the hospital longer than another depending on stats.

so if it baised on dureabilty, runnning cheaper gears with a 10 durbaility is better then running lockers with a 3 that cost a lot more?

[papee]

yes you are correct, I'll fix the price.

[dragon51]

Ok with the duribility being the other stat of how good a item is then I really hope that my lv 15 Bicycle Helmet is a lot stronger than the lv 1 wife beater shirt with a 10/10 durability, it just has no info other than I paided ALOT of money for it, and I did not see any diamonds or rubbys in it! lol

[sixteenquad]

What is the purpose of using the spork. It doesn't get you out any quicker.

[proskier101]

yes it does. i cuts out a percentage. when you get down to like 8 min a spork only takes off 1 min.


also is it in your inventory or in the garage. you can use it in your garage but your right it does nothing when you use it there.

[sixteenquad]

Dammm all those wasted sporks.

[bspencer]

whats up with the high DP prices?

[papee]

Gotta pay for the bandwidth somehow, If more donated we could lower the prices.

[bigdaddylee82]

So is the clock in time supposed to reset when you get a promotion? I had about 12 hours left before my next clock in time, I asked for a promotion and got it but now I've got to wait 24 hours to clock in again. I got the promotion but didn't get paid, no money, no glitter, no stats. So why did the clock in time reset?

- Lee

[papee]

The clock resets every time you clock in. If you move to another job it also resets. You don't get paid until you clock in next time.

[SIKJEEP]

how about a list of what each job pays, and is the job info correct, do u have to meet that stat and level to get that job

[papee]

There is a list under job info

[SIKJEEP]

how about a list of what each job pays, and is the job info correct?? do u have to meet that stat and level to get that job???

[bspencer]

how about you upper lvl players get off oyur asses and get some new active players into the game!..... more action makes the game better for everyone involved! maybe even split your gangs up into a main gang and a training gang and wreak havoc on everyone!!

WTF is wrong with everyone....... need an established good/bad guys to get things goin

[jeepron]

it says that i don't have a rig when i bought one the other day

[fpkites]

Send a message to Papee in game and he'll take care of it.

[jeepron]

My name in the game is Daniel@usa6x6.com. Don't get much more "bad guy" than that.:flipoff2:

Maybe CWenzel_from_SLO? :flipoff2:

[Jamus2]

Been there, done that, got bored and went back to Jamus.

[Teutonictxn]

I see tons of stuff on the Black Market pages that is not in the regular stores. Where does this come from? Is this from "Wheeling Trips"? I am just curious as I am wanting to acquire some of these things, but I notice several lower level players are selling several items I do not have...

[Jamus2]

Each town has shops, the higher level players can buy this stuff. Then sell/give it to lower players. And it disperses further from there. If you want the stuff, buy it off the market, find someone higher to buy it for you, or wait till your level lets you buy it. I don't like the lower players having better stuff, but it's unavoidable I guess. At least the rigs are limited by level.

[Teutonictxn]

Gotcha. Thanks Jamus!

[Dwheelz4]

Gotcha. Thanks Jamus!
teutonic why do you have 2 accounts?

[papee]

teutonic why do you have 2 accounts?

Oop's someone better read the first rule. I don't have the time to mess with this so when I find a user with multiple accounts all are deleted and the IP banned.

[Teutonictxn]

I don't have 2 accounts. I changed my name on the first and only one to be Krom - still same account. Did you not know you could change your name?

[MercedesTech]

For "wheeling trips"

It says you have 'X' amount per day. Does that not refresh ? I can't go wheeling right now.... How long do I gotta wait ?

[bspencer]

it refreshes at 1am eastern
