Developer's Diary - Did somebody said PIZZA?!

[Fuzzie]

Hello, Argonathians!

In today's developer diary, we'll be going over the changes that were made to the pizza job. Let's get right into the changes.


Pizza Deliveries

Previously, pizza deliveries are tied to an individual player. Now, pizza deliveries are generated as a list. Every 3 minutes, 2 new deliveries are created and added to the pending deliveries list. The maximum amount of pending deliveries is 30 deliveries.

When a delivery is created, one of three sizes is selected for the delivery. Small ($95), Regular ($120) or Large ($150).


Delivering a pizza

Delivering the pizza is similar to the way it was done before. Drive to the location shown on the minimap, and you'll get paid. Every time you deliver a pizza, you'll be given a random tip between $5 to $25. Make sure you deliver the pizza under 5 minutes or the customer will only pay half of the cost of the pizza.

Some deliveries may be a special case delivery. There are 3 different special case delivery. Head on in-game and check it out for yourself.


Rival pizza man

Since every delivery is now "global" as opposed to being tied to an individual player, be on the look out for other pizza delivery men. Both of you will get the same delivery and only the fastest delivery man will be paid.


Billing

Tips are given straight to your hand upon delivering. When you deliver a pizza, the cost of the pizza is added to the potential bill you will be paid. When you return to the pizza shop, type /billpizza and you will be paid straight to your bank account.


Hope you enjoy the new pizza script. Wanna find out more about the new pizza job? Head on in-game and check it out for yourself.

Pizzaboy for Life. Can we team up for pizza deliveirs with multiple poeple however instead of being rivals?

May I eat the second pizza if someone delivers it before me? 

[Silent]

Sorry to bother but i'm still getting a bug with pizza boy job if someone could explain why the following happens that be great.

So i went to do pizza boy job for the first time and i gte the pizzas from little Haiti and start delivering but someone left there car in middle of the road so i fell off. I then go back to little Haiti to pick up more pizzas but it doesn't let me. I walk in to marker but i don't get the pizzas. If someone could help me with this that be great

I think Fuzzie has fixed this already, but the fix hasn't been uploaded yet.

Try leaving job and entering it again in the meantime? (if it doesn't work, clean your session with F2 and try again)

As for the update itself - while it makes pizza less grindy, which is good, it does make it much less profitable compared to the previous pizza system (which could be "abused" for as much as 700$/min) which will probably make players prefer other jobs in the future.

As long as it remains balanced with Garbageman and Trucking it should be ok. Fishing is illegal so it's meant to be more profitable I think.

Sounds nice. Good job

The fix has been uploaded and should take effect during the next daily restart (about an hour from this reply)

I'll be looking into how the new update affects pizza and garbage before I think about reworking and balancing both scripts.

[Radon]

Please make them better or the same before. Make them profitable 'n' easy like before.

[Fuzzie]

If by "easy like before" you mean return the possibility to abuse a bug like in the previous script, no.
