Balance question

[Murphy]

Hi,
let's say I had two chests in my Fable map, totally hypothetical p), and they were welded shut at the beginning of the game and took a little while to open, what kind of item would be appropriate to put into them?
Armor is only 200 pounds so I don't think it's valuable enough, but I don't want to go overboard because I want this to get on the whitelist.
So what would you say are good items for chests?

 

[SMIFF]

Any Tier 2 weaponry i suppose

Katana's are always a treat though

 

[Murphy]

Would a crossbow be ok? That's something everyone can use, regardless of perk, it fits Fable, and it's only 400 pounds so it's not that huge an advantage. Or would you say I should put in something more valuable. Like in the 700-1000 pound price range?

EDIT: Maybe combine items?
If I put in a vest, two or three grenades and a random choice between a Crossbow and an Axe, would that be good enough to make people want to open the chests or would it be overpowered for whitelisting purposes?

yea, but you cant get all of these items at the trader. So most people will likely have them when the chest is open.

Maybe have a ton of money in there, then use a destroy actor tag, so they dont respawn

From what i've seen so far, Tier 3 weapons are not acceptable (except the xbow because its only 400$). But since you are not making a weapon room, jut put something worth 600-700$ in it and it should be fine

 

[slavek]

Honestly, I don't think its the contents that matters, but the fact that people let the items respawn in their maps. Like Fel said, make it non-respawn and players won't be able to abuse it.

 

[SMIFF]

Even though the crossbow is game breakingly powerful, i think it would be ok to put in there, seeing as people would probably of bought a crossbow by the time its open anyway

You could just put some dosh in it, maybe change the money static mesh to gold coins or something...

Grenade launcher with limited ammo. A sort of pump and dump. Doesnt matter what you put in there since people will ninja it and sell it. So may as well make it fun and potentially allow them to survive a sticky minute giving them say free 10 shots with the launcher.

set thrown=true and it wont sell for very much cash
put whatever you want in there, i think it depends how hard the person has to work to get the chest open shouold be rewarded fairly.
if i have to give up 20 silver keys to open that chest, it better be worth it.
