Make Random Kindness scale.

I think RK should scale based upon the targets energy tank. As it is now, RK is next to useless for anyone with a large energy tank. It doesn't have to be alot more, but a person with a 30k energy tank should really get more than 50 energy. Don't you think?

  • How  is RK next to useless for someone with a big energy tank? They can do exactly the same amount with the extra 50 energy as someone with a small energy tank can do with  50 extra energy

    If scaling was introduced it would be better to scale it to Level. And possibly in reverse, so that baby Glitches get a bigger boost than the powerful ones

  • -1 Nope. I disagree. Someone with a 30K fuel tank is on their own. I think we should be doing everything possible to avoid this kind of misuse. I get a finite return for meditation. Why should you get more RK than someone else because you have a bigger tank?

    50 units is 50 units. Deal with it. There is food you can eat and you can meditate. RK wasn't meant to be used as a mining assistant or a refill for those who feel that they're too good for or otherwise shouldn't have to "bother" with food. It's called Random kindness for a reason. Not the "targetted help yer networked buddy refill magic spell"

  • Haha true Irenic, bad wording on my part. Scaling with level probably is a better idea...

    Nah Woochi, I wasn't thinking of anything high enough that people would want to abuse it. Just a little something. The reason I thought of this was because someone summoned me, and I RK'ed them, and then I realized i'd have to RK them a few times to cover the cost.

    Maybe random kindness shouldn't even give energy, maybe it should give some sort of buff. Since most people don't really use it just for energy because it doesn't give all that much. I know I use it more as a greeting type thing.

    anywho..

  • I'm with Woochi on this one. Even though I don't have an insanely huge energy tank like some Glitches, I bestow RKs because it's nice, because it helps. You know the saying, "Every little bit helps?" Well, there you go. I can only see something like this being useful for someone who has asked another person to help them out with a project (like people without furnituremaking), but even then, they could just spam RKs.

    If anything, I get too many RKs as it is from gardening, so if you want to RK someone with a huge tank, grab some spare RKs and use them up.

    If you seriously want to do something like this, then I'd hope it uses more than one charge, if it's 50 energy per charge and you're RKing someone with a huge tank, then the entire thing is worth 1k energy and then it's gone. Make the charges scale with it too so that there's not a whole ton of RKs dropped all over the place (like there is currently) because they're easy to get (with Croppery 3, or the Tower Quest).

    And let's not forget that RKs don't just help with energy, but they can help with mood too.
