The Vending Machine Adjustment
- Thread starter elelmon
- Start date
New players are given 10,000 yen at the start of their game, with an additional 500 yen every 30 minutes. It gives them plenty of money to afford food from the vending machines. I experimented playing a "greenie" and running around asking for food, in about 48 hours my inventory was completely full of food. Like, there was no space in my inventory LOL

Drink buffs sound like a bad idea; refer to what Caxan said
SchoolRP also really isn't "difficult" for greenies persay, they get the 10,000 starting balance as stated above and the current food prices are not any part of the reason why they don't stick around

10000 is like barely anything, either is 500 yen per hour，you'd be surprised to see how fast ur hunger drops(when u are exploring as a new player). There are so many others things they have to spent their money on such as a phone(kinda important ong). Also begging for food is not a great RP experience if u ask me.

I really don't have much to mention for food, the current price seems to be reasonable, plus you have access to free school lunches when chefs are there.
As for the buffs, I think it's a good idea. Alcohol gives players a lot of effects, and drinking energy drinks could give a slight speed/jump buff (not a ton, just enough to notice). For other drinks like juice and water, effects aren't necessary. Although effect changes may bump up the price or give sports players an unfair advantage...

Drink buffs wouldn't be good, as I can see them being used and abused in many different situations. If they increased your speed or jumping, then it would be used in many gangrp situations and make it much harder for KPD to be caught, or any manhunt. Not to mention the price they are sold at will have to increase by a lot if they were implemented. There is a lot to adding effect to drinks and it would make things much more chaotic.

Instead of directly giving you special effects, I think it'd be better for drinks to boost your attribute gains. A QoL update for attributes is scheduled to happen at some point, and I think giving certain drinks the ability to boost your attributes would be helpful for those who haven't maxed everything out yet.
To provide an example, say drinking Beast will give you a 10% buff to your speed for 10 minutes. It's not too terribly realistic, but neither is slamming your head against a short ceiling 1,000,000 times for like 2 full OOC days or running around with a melon launcher (which totally isn't cosmetic abuse) until you're running twice as fast as a normal minecraft player.
Clearly, if we were to implement something like this, we'd need to take measures in order to make the drinks fair and balanced. Perhaps, performance boosting drinks could be set on a cooldown timer? Maybe they could only be available in certain vending machines / shops? Maybe after the buff expires, you'll suffer from a debuff which makes you slow or "tired?" Perhaps, there could even be a form of steroid sold on the black market, which would give you better gains at a higher price and risk.

no thanks this is basically just cosmetic abuse but it's ic money not ooc money
By your strand of logic, we should remove naginatas since they're more expensive than pocket knives and give an inherent advantage in combat. I genuinely don't understand how the addition of a small buff to attribute gains obtained purely through IC means is comparable to cosmetic abuse.
they're literally already adding. a gym to do what you suggested lool

We're already working on a system to give new players free food on their first join amongst other things.
Food prices in the vending machines are more than fair with the current rate of inflation and average balance of new and older players. Adding potion buffs to Drinks is not something we'd be looking to implement, however we will give drink items saturation/hunger
