GamerM231 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I know this has probably been done before, but I seriously think that Crack-a-Book has been declining in usefulness. Most of the time I only find paper and MAYBE a few books. Maybe in A21 they will get some buffs with the new "Learn by Looting" system? Only time can tell.

meganoth Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) Roland could playtest A21 already and has reported that instead of paper or empty book cases he finds a lot of magazines now. And as the game balance needs a lot of magazines to be found just assume all the paper you found in the crack-a-book will be a magazine in A21 and you are probably near the truth.

Roland Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 In A21 bookstores are useful to almost OP proportions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripflex Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I honestly believe Crack - a - book was easy mode when you find one early game. My suggestion to The Fun Pimps is to have magazines lying around in their appropriate POIs like Mechanic mags in Gas Stations and garages, or Medical books in Hospitals and pharmacies etc. That way it will encourage players to visit these POIs and the less visited POIs like farms for crop growing and seeds and cooking mags in restaurants. My 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Crow Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 It'll be nice to see the stores become Crack-A-Book instead of being Lack-A-Book. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2 cents. That is the plan for A21 with the new magazine mechanic. You can still find other magazines in those places (after all, in real life you well see a variety of magazines at those types of places), but you will have greater chances of finding appropriate magazines where you expect to find them.

Either way, looting is going to be a lot more promiscuous.... Edited January 7, 2023 by Roland (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
