Era Dev Feedback and Suggestions
 

Hello everyone,

As many of you may know, I have recently opened up the Era Development server to the public for a preview of what the staff team has been working on. This thread is for you to provide your feedback and give us any suggestions you may have. We always enjoy hearing from our public, so don't be afraid to voice your opinion here!

The development server will be open until 23:00 server time. If all goes well, we will open up the development server every Wednesday for you guys to give us your feedback on.

For more information on the development server, you may speak to one of the staff members online.

Thanks,
Era Administration

Is there a list of updates/new content on the dev server somewhere?

Not sure but what you should be able to find is an altered gmap, fishing system, ferry system, and some other things

i logged on just in time to see era dev for around 1 minute -_-

I bought a bunch of houses :D

i attempted to spam 20k worth of P4.

doesn't work :(

shuda got a super potion...oh wait the trains were closed :(

Oh can you open it or add me- i was asleep in bed =[

the only time i saw era dev was for 10 seconds when alf opened it for people to go when era was crashing, and i saw a "shrine" to nich. anyways i sent a feedback on polls

i hope era dev's point isnt to redo the gmap which is like the last problem there is

i didn't get to see the gang points shop either :(

The GMAP looks really good, and I like all of the level renovations you guys did. I do hope though that you guys are working on a new business system, because even though they aren't as meaningful as guns, gangs, and pking, they're still a pretty big part of Era. Let's be honest, businesses suck and have sucked for a while.

Bull****.
Businesses are the butter to the gang bread.
I'd say almost 60/40 importance for gangs/businesses.
Player-owned businesses were the backbone of the economy.

and still are

I'm kinda annoyed at businesses.
The GBA isn't doing **** to improve them (what else is new?).. and the same dozen people have owned all the businesses for the past 2-3 years, and I think only two of them actually had to pay ANYTHING to own their business.
It just got passed to them from a friend then forgotten about. The owners login like once a week and cash in 10-50k (depending what business) without doing ****.

It's pretty lame.

Let me put this in prespective about the gba, basicly he is a assistant ET admin first/gang admin, and not really a busniess admin :\ i blame the ETA for misranking him:\

He was GBA first.
Then with the new gang system, theres nothing for him to do as Gang Admin.. meaning his only job is Business Admin. Aside from that there are two AETA's.. so it's not like that job requires his full time/effort.

this is stupid. Don't blame me for someone else not doing their job.

also, the business system as it is happens to be pretty dead as well. it'd be like improving on a cancer child.

Not so sure there's nothing for GBA to do with gangs.

auction a biz that sells gun attachments..oh wait 2 much work for staff

If that's your argument, then fire him.
Seems to me that he has absolutely no purpose in that department.
So keep him as Events whatever, and fire him from the other duties.
It's the simple.

he's already quit, someone else is GBA. calm yourself

which you'd know if you didn't get yourself banned
how's that working out for you anyway

He's on Combat Arms.. headshotting me like a ***.
ololol

Tbh, I'm not banned.. and I didn't know he quit GBA; I play more than you.

I just had an idea: Why not after the reset make a system in which players can create business that creates guns! As in, it costs about 100k to start up a business, they must hire a gani and a scripter as well as a gfxer, or whatever they are not able to do, they can pay to make a factory, standard house prices. The way they make guns is by costs per stat, so the better the stat, the more it'll cost, the worse that stat, the cheaper it will be, so say a .1 freeze gun stat would be 300k, and the other stats would costs around the same the better they are. After the raw production stage of the gun, it must be finalized by... whats that... a gun admin!?!?? Anyways, once its accepted, along with the gfx, gani, scripts for the gun, you must hire stockers and material makers, which they must make a barrel, stock, etc, for the gun and give those materials to a stocker which they put together and release into their store. All the profits go to the "CEO" of the company, which he is expected to distribute amongst his workers accordingly. If he fails to do so, he can be fired from the position. Would bring in more guns, but more importantly, more things to do.

Don't really need a scripter; last I checked you just copy the template for a gun class and input the stats/gani images. Unless it's some custom projectile thing.

Wait? Since when was there going to be a reset? :confused:

Would probably take forever to make the systems themselves. Then be a pain in the ass to moderate. And I don't think it would actually present anything positive or better for gameplay; There's already businesses... already too many guns.. (aren't you the one crying because gun stats are too similar?) and the only guns worth making would be perfect stat weapons which would **** up Era more than it already is.

You serious? :confused:

1. It costs more to make a perfect stat weapon, as you should have read, so those who don't have the profits to create a perfect stat weapon, won't be able to. Your always against almost every idea at this point, and saying "it would probably take for ever to make the system themselves", Don't expect good things to come like a piece of cake. I don't see how it would be a pain in the ass to moderate, all that needs doing is 1, or maybe even 2 gun admins that go on era dev and test out the weapon. Nothing really hard there. This present entrepreneurship in the game, a new aspect. There is a way to regulate how guns enter the game, so don't cry about people abusing it.

It's a well thought out plan and I think anyone would be thrilled to be able to implement it, but the simple fact is that it's way too much work.

You're the one who was complaining about the stats being all the same on guns, more guns with the same stat range obviously = more guns with the same stats.
If someone has the money to start a business in this fashion, they're obviously going to buy the best gun possible or something for their personal needs more than anything else. IE. perfect stat weapons as pre-stated.

Have you seen the past many GBA/Guns Admins?.. Obviously moderating ANYTHING is a pain in the ass/too hard, since they've all failed.

What I was saying was we already have the implements of: too many guns, and player run businesses. People (you) already whine and ***** about the guns, people (me) already question and complain about how businesses work, and people (GBA/Guns Admins) already fail at their respective positions. Using common sense I foresee this turning out bad.

That is.. if they even do it (tons of other crap that needs to be done, rly..)

I say it would take forever as-in the development process. If you had seen the rate of development, or looked at the gang system lately, you would understand the concept.


I know how to, and did read your post. Obviously I diagree or I wouldn't be posting. You don't need to forge some sort of argument.

I don't have to do much to get banned, I'm that popular with staff.
But uh, there's not much of a difference actually, not until I feel like it.
I still log on just as much as I did before (seldom).
Difference is, I don't have Venom_Fish sitting next to my name.

In any event,
How's the race to get a second chance to fail at Administration going?

So, even though you were banned/reset after account sharing, you made a new account without a MP5, and still play. I'd see that as a ticket for (myself) to quit era.

I'd see that as success. Just like you complaining about guns after I set their stats.

fixed it for you bro

don't even try and pretend that you weren't happy when i was manager, you nancy boy. and horribly. getting the run around from nich and alf and a week away from just calling it quits

reopen it

lol ^^^^^^

my question is now that there is fishing/all this renovated buildings is there MORE to do? it looks like all this is just decoration...no point in a big gmap if people are still going to just idle at unstick and alf is going to ::all /mj or wateva he does..
