How much work would it take to make pus go auto into persons inventory?I dont program but its been ask before if it were possible and with new patch coming can an admin or programmer tell me if its possible?I think this would be a good change for the game but its just an idea!

what do you mean with "go auto into persons inventory"? adding instantly to a current gun?

No i mean instead of pu dropping to ground the person that kills mob get the pus directly into there inventory.

i think he means that instead of pu's being dropped to the ground, to just instantly put them into the persons inventory that kill the monster. That could be good and bad though...

it would be good that yes the person that kills the monster deserves the pu but it could also be bad that some people do not like to share. and if they get all the good pu's then it will be hard for the lower level people to get stuff such as inf's

Ya moon it can be good and bad i agree and perhaps thats why its not been done yet.But many new players are still given pus from higher lvl members even when they are unable to leave the area and i know many will adjust to make sure new players are given pus.

The really bad thing about that idea is if the person has a shit-load of crap weapons and no inf.......he's essentially screwed.

Only thing I'm reading here is "Is there a way to stop people stealing PUs?"

I think I've seen Joey or another admin saying the whole point on letting them drop was to promote team play. Merely allowing the person with the strongest weapon have all the pus by kills. So it goes from "YOU JACKED MY PU YOU N00B!" to "YOU STOLE MY KILL YOU N00B!"

Leave it alone IMO.

when i read this i thoughyt you where sedgesting a new pu but no border is jsut complaing again about him not being fast enuff to get pus. heres somethign to think about. what if its a powerup you dont want or if you already have the max amout of pus for that catagory. and how would tossing pus work if they go directly into people inventory?
