lolol

But srsly.
If dual shotgun's awesomeness are taken away from newbs, then what would be the fun in that?
I'd rather have M3's stats buffed so then newbs could all want to buy that, and maybe the price would go up.

If dual shotguns are simply nerfed, then noobs will automatically mark shotguns as "noob wep" and the price will crash and burn for reg. shottys and m3 shotty. If they simply look at the stats for m3 shotty, they will realize it's absolutely the same as reg shotty after nerf and m3 will still be worth nothing.
If they went as far to make regular shotguns crap to make m3 look good, then it would just wouldn't hurt anyone to remove them from the game.

A shotgun should have huge spread, with a ton of small bullets that add up if they all hit.
The concept of dual shotguns too is insane

the damage doesn't add up lol
they all hit 20s and if 1 hits the others don't count.
i vote that shotguns should all be the same and do same damage, and each bullet counts as a shot if one of them hits, but the expensive ones such as pbp/pl9 shotty shld do like 3-5 more damage than shottys and m3 and have more bullet output than shottys/m3.

IRL: Shotguns lose power further down the road, in this game, the further you are from the player, the better you can spam them. tru****.

rep+

m3 needs buff dual shottys need nerf expensive shotguns can be left alone

at least you understand how the "balancing" makes no sense..wait til you get into the 200k range and see how m4 is better than shipka..

God you people always give me something to do when I'm bored.

1. You're not good at Era, I've never even seen you sparring; rofl.
2. Go mine? If you think your good you shouldn't require expensive weapons to be good. If you do require them... go mine.

Yes, shovelling (or even flower picking) is faster than mining at first. But then again, mining is the only job where anything EVER gets faster... and since we got Vimes to edit it about a year ago + Worker Potions it is utterly the absolute best choice for any long term money making.

Don't insult Billy Mays.

Dual shotguns cost $400 AT MOST (if you buy them from the shop). If you're going to make an argument at least do some COMMON SENSE research before spewing out words. Makes you look like an idiot.

M3 costs about 2-3k street at the most. I've purchased one for as low as 1k in the past. It has 20 damage bullets, and is much more functional (more accurate, less freeze, less reload time) than dual shotguns.

I don't even understand the point the rest is getting at. You say to buff/change a gun.. then say don't make it overpowered.. then say change the price.
If I had one guess, I'd say you obviously own one of those weapons?

Spam, see previous.

Spam, see previous.

Last I checked, this isn't IRL. The bullets technically do spread more over distance.. however making them lose power would be difficult.
Last I checked before my last check everyone was CRYING on Era that shotguns were too underpowered because I got Alfonso to fix the reload crap. Nerfing them further wouldn't be very wise.

God your comments are just repeats. We understand you want your gun to be better and worth more. It's just not going to happen.
Same with your other threads, lol@ snowball cannon firing mode 2!

Then buy the M4, save 150k, and shut up.
You make no sense.

I believe that's a Triple Kill; someone needs to add sound effects to the forums.
Haha :D

@Ikki
Buy an M4.

@iBreez
M3 is a superior weapon from a skill-based aspect.
Its able to hold its own as a beginner primary weapon, unlike shotgun (to a certain extent).
In other words, M3 vs. Shotgun, same skill level, M3 = Wins.
Got me?
Shotgun is a better weapon for support fire.
M3 is a better weapon for skill/combination in sparring/pk.

To better understand the balance, each weapon has his/her weaknesses in a Tier. No one weapon is way better than another if they're within the same Tier.
M3 and Shotguns are both Tier 1. The difference is not light years. Price is A FACTOR, not THE FACTOR. <- Understand that.

Ok, since I've laced this thread with much negativity shutting down most of the idiotic ideas that flow through here before Zeus/Alfonso can even waste their time reading them... I've got an idea to throw out.

This is based on events. Mostly PK events, but all events would technically fall under this system.

This is similar to an idea/system I recall Sales creating/working on. So it shouldn't be too hard for Alfonso to revive, and finish. (Since that's what his management record is currently based on) < Sorry for that burn, have to keep this real-talk. <3
-----------------------------------
Okay so I stopped at this point for about an hour not knowing exactly how to present this in words. Haha :D
-----------------------------------

Basically instead of winning a EC just for being the last person alive in an event, you'll instead get X event points for achieving a positive goal in that event. (Or possibly lose them for doing something negative)

An example:
CTF - You will receive X event points for killing a player, Y event points for capturing the flag and winning the game(raiders), Y event points for returning the flag to the base(defenders), and Z event points for winning the event. (Killing a team member or getting kicked from the event (not through lag kicker) could even cause you to lose a small amount of points)

Every event will use this Points system, giving every active participant a small reward for achieving the goal. Even Lucky Grab - X points for being lucky (small amount obviously), and Z points for winning the event. Or Chance - X points for surviving a round (small amount), and Z points for winning the event.

**This will ensure you people out there soloing the team in TTS then getting lamed cause your own teammate tags you in don't go out empty handed.**

So now you have these Event Points, these will be able to be exchanged for EC at the event house at a set rate (could be set by the ETA possibly, or just be a 100% fixed rate permanently). Ex; 100ep = 1ec
-----------------------------------

Since events are 'over hosted' according to some players.. this could potentially help control the flow of EC better and make events more rewarding for people who actually PLAY them.

As opposed to the current system, where it just rewards the last person alive (somewhat flawed system).
Being that last player could be some person who didn't help his team toward the goal, or didn't actively participate in the event. (Happening a lot lately tbh, kids just tag out in TTS, hide in laser tag, or join by :Event 1 1 late in the match... and then win?)

That isn't very fair, fun, or even promotes playing events.
-----------------------------------

Combine this system with some new/updated event arenas and we got ourselves some full proofed happy-go-fun-times.
-----------------------------------

Thoughts?
Opinions?
Yes?
No?

Go wild- :cool:

Giving free ep to players in events that did nothing (afkers, leechers) to earn it would make the economy unstable because of the rate of ec's being output from the ep's. it should be like 150ep if a player wins a event (the equiv of 1 and a half ec), and 10 ep if a player only parpicitates, and a 50ep reward if a player gets a certain amount of kills or helps a team alot in a team event.

if u keep licking up to wil u might be able to join soul someday rogue lol, even donark made it in

That's pretty much one of the things it's meant to fix. The afkers/leechers wouldn't be rewarded (unless they somehow win) because they're not doing anything. Whilst the people doing all the killing/positive things on the team.. will get small amounts for doing those things. Currently there's no point to PLAY the event and risk a chance of dying when you can just conserve/save ammo, let your team do it for you, and then kill them all when it comes down to the final round.
Aka. do little/no work and reap the entire benefit/reward.

400ms lag pro right here guys

tk mad cause he sucks and gets merked

@rogue you are rich and you use mp5n so why are you even on this forum.
@wil you repeated the same thing rogue said and you also only use mp5n

i just want to know how you guys think its ok that m4 is better than shipka i mean pre-nerf there were differences between guns so what if there were a few .05 freeze guns but those guns cost 600k-1.5m.

ok here is the good part IN MY OPINION prices should be based on stats SO all the guns in shop need to have their prices changed. basically lower the prices of the 200k that have stats worse than the 60k guns..THEN i will shut up

This seems absolutely counter productive.
If mass-event hosting is an issue because of the output of event coins and only ONE player gets an event coin per event.
How does granting EVERY player that plays an event a certain degree of credit solve this problem?

Not a brain surgeon here, but that seems like it only amplifies the problem.
System sounds nice, again, if the flow of events are BALANCED.

@Ikki
Buy an M4 if its better.
Buy the cheaper gun if they're the same. <- Huh?

He's not big on consistancy.

@wil see you obviously arent thinking...if a gun is 200k and there is a 70k gun better than it shouldnt the prices be altered to match the stats..you said the stats wont change anytime soon..nothing about prices

yo dawg so we heard you like derp

Okay, screw anything I've ever said about anything else, but woodcutting needs to be fixed.
I can't cut perfect logs on v5 or v6, even though I get 5 perfects on a tree, then my friends told me that the system was broken. so yeah. supposedly they "might" fix it...
yeah but if they decide to fix it, woodcutting should have more craftable things from logs..
eg. a improved woodcutter's axe that requires 10 lead 10 iron 25 perfect logs, and it is a equip meele that does 10 damage and cuts trees just like the regular wood axe.
would be great for those moments when your woodcutting and a newb jumps you while you're cutting, forcing you to abandon your tree and probably forget where it is, but you'll be able to get revenge on them >:)

Just an FYI, but, i haven't seen anyone attempting to fix the woodcutting problem.

as ive already said u dont play era, my average latency (in italy) is 200 and has always been such since server change, i hate to repeat myself

i thought you lived in jersey.

-__-

yo dawg, i herd u hav 200 lat so i added 200 lat so you can 400 lat while you pvp

yo dawg i herd you like being off topic so we put more off topic in your off topic post so you can be off topic while you be off topic


there should be. isn't zeus good with scripting, but has a management job?

trators with italian origins live in jersey, not to confuse with real italians

ya... ba da bing to you to.

You know how in some shooters, there's a taunt where your player takes their gun and raises it up and shoots it into the air?
There should be something like that for a cannon guns, when you press f you point your gun up and start shooting ammo into the air (doesn't do damage tho, just for the lols like colt6's spin). This is just a random idea I got, not anything I want.

There should be like a Master Lumberjack's Axe with a gold head or something that makes the perfect zone 2x bigger, and it requires like 100 perfect logs and 25 gold. That would be sick, and would take actual skill/alot of money (I price my perfects @ 250$ each) to buy all the perfects needed for it, and would make woodcutting a really good way to make money w/ it.

Your guns won't be buffed/changed in any way, shape, or form.
Give it up bro.

Don't be such a downer. Just because you're rich and own everything valuable in both era and zodiac, doesn't mean that you have to ridicule everyone else for wanting changes to their weapons.
If everyone could have the guns they wanted in era, I'm sure nobody would complain about buffs/changes because everything would be equal. or how about have everyone use newb guns and have all the overpowered ones deleted.

But on the topic of updates, I've brought two bugs/annoyances to the attention of alfonzo that needed to be changed.
Woodcutting Perfects bug fixed so players can obtain chainsaw from the 10-Perfects room.
Wood Axe being able to be hotkeyed, so when you get jumped by a newb and have to abandon your tree to equip your weapon while cutting you can eaisly equip your axe again.

Your guns won't be buffed/changed in any way, shape, or form.
Give it up bro

na,
also who the ****'s idea was to reduce ak damage by 5 and give 100% accuracy
now ak is usless for spamming nubs
and is completely overpowered for pros because of the 100% accuracy
so y doesn't SG556 get100% accuracy back if ak does

check out that trial gun


woot

Lol? Mad about Trial Ak?

Why are you allowed to post anymore.

emancipation proclamation of graal newbs

rogue u only got ur stuff back cuz u licked alf's balls for months..ur so fkn greedy u decided to macro when u had mp5, over 1mil and other ****

First of all, the correct way to say someone is sucking up to someone would be to say "You sucked his **** for your **** back" or "you're on his ****"

Also, you of all people calling people greedy? lol you usd'd 4 mil cash, you just never got caught. You always come on here and run your mouth, whether it's about your supposed "PK skillz" or all your money and guns (quite of bit of it was usd'd), you always have something stupid to say.

If you're going to post here, make PRODUCTIVE posts.

I didn't macro, this was already agreed upon after talking to Nich+Zeus about... one time?
Alfonso wouldn't get involved.

You just qq cause you suck @ Era.
Rly.

Off-topic. everyone one of the past 20 posts

A theme tune? Something you hear when you log on maybe? I think it would be a nice addition anyway.
