Bro it's horrible, it fucks me up so much pls bring back the old system plsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
 
The system never changed. The reason rations are handled differently at the moment is purely due to IC lore and RP circumstances calling for it.

I don't mind it. It gives it an interesting twist to get ahold of credits, food and water.
 
*Noo, I can't spam rations anymore and have to properly RP!! NOO!!! NOOOO!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!*

I like it, actually makes RP for ppl outside of ppl going AFK for 2.5 hours in-game time and then coming back to farm credits for Rebrel RP.
 
Player engagement is good. Can’t always get what you want. These limited rations is a good reminder to the cruelty of the Combine
 
I would agree with complaints about the ration system but Willards is actually a server with proper workarounds (and ive worked to fix some of the kinks in that system with another CM), so you can get an OK amount of food and water if you get the proper resources.

Need water? Get scissors, 4 plastic, and make a water bottle. Get water from a cache or pond in Indigent then filter it with a pot and camp fire, all of which can be obtained relatively easily.

Need food? Hunt NPC's, cook leeches, or trade with smuggler NPC for a high markup; you will have to work for the food by trading or working together with other indigent folk, but its still possible.

There are other methods that are more extreme (robbing people / CP's, having a rogue CP on your side, etc) but those are the base methods to get around lack of rations.

Or you can be a good loyalist and work for the Combine either in a Union faction or feeding them useful information.

The lack of automatic rations have opened up a lot of roleplay avenues.
 
I can't believe a totalitarianism government put restrictions on me from getting my rations! Such monsters!
 
It's on a trial period right now. The idea is that during peak hours, manual rations are in progress. Outside of that, automatized rations will still be a 'fallback'. This whole system ideally is going to be automatized via the code including ration announcements and the ration terminal activating during downtimes.

Think we might do a poll/survey in a week or so.
 
It does suck, but not for the reasons mentioned;

If you play vort religiously, get used to black screen
 
Rumour has it that if you add more S's onto your wish, you may actually turn into a snake.
