Some positive input regarding the New Perm. Riders from someone who actually uses one.;)
I think the introduction of permanent riders by Outspark was long-overdue.
And despite the barrage of complaints they are here to stay...
Firstly, when purchasing one, it comes fully fed...so no need to feed for a while :)
The rations ARE NOT consumed when you're not riding.
Consumption is very slow...after 6 days i still have 250/300 of the original amount, so haven't used any of my rations, and I play 6+ hours/day!!
At this rate i won't need to use them for another month...
This equates to 5950 sc for rider and 5040 sc for 12 months rations.
Compared to over 40k sc with the old riders!!!
Secondly, and most importantly, the ONE thing that bugs me about temporary cs items is WASTE. :mad:
I want to use those items as much as I can to get good value-for-money and
because I have more than 1 character, this can be difficult at times.
I might be lvling my fighter on a 7-day grind while my cleric sits idle.
But hey, I just remembered that ext, crit suit and raccy on him aint getting used :eek:
And that's what I love about the new perm. riders!!
I can concentrate on 1 char for weeks without worrying about wasted sc.
And lets face it..who enjoys walking from Uruga to BR???
In a perfect Fiesta world, everything would be permanent with just 'maintenance' costs to consider.
