Suggestion for a New Event
 

Zodiac has Classic Spar for one of their events and im wonderin why era doesnt either. If you do not know what classic spar is its basically sparring with swords like in Graal Classic on iphone. its a rectangular spar for 2 people, each person has 3-6 life. hitting someone with ur sword takes away one life from them. every time zodiac hosted classic spar, me and scama joined in a flash. me and him had a pk record of over about 37,000. im wishing era would put classic spar into their events list. its alot of fun. Anyone who agrees with me, give some support

era is about guns, not swords

Horrible suggestion. We have ninja LMS, that's as far as your suggestion will get.

You mean like this?
That's an awesome idea!

They should probably put Gun spars on the other servers too.

or era should be more like pro evolution soccer, isn't this also a fabulous idea?

sorry for even putting my suggestion here. next time ill remember that u guys dont want any...

they consider suggestions every now and then, but not if your suggestion has nothing to do with the style of the game

yaaaaa.. cause u know how era has events relating to nothing but guns... lets see, there is boxing, racing, mazes. ohh boy, those sure have alot to do with guns alright. if u dont like the idea, there is no need to be an ******* over it

those are a problem for era, unfortunately many ETs don't host 90% pk events

Remember when ULMS was hosted every 5 minutes for 20 minute time? That was fun.

wow give the kid a ****ing break. it's a simple yet fun suggestion that can realistically be done compared to some ideas for events that would require such complex systems and rules to be done efficiently.

as if era even has a "theme" anymore. it's turned into nothing but a modern skinned unholy nation. there's tons of bullshit items that don't make any sense yet an event for classic sparring is suddenly going too far. it's not like you're opening up a spar center for sword sparring. it's just an event. it's meant to be fun and could sometimes be out of the ordinary.

Completely out of the question. That's the most unrealistic idea I've ever heard.

#eraproblems

all era should have is 15-20 pk events (with 5-10 maps each except the spar based ones), 2 races and maybe chance. people who like the game play to pk and they dont enjoy all the non-pk events that are hosted, only trials do cuz they can't be in gangs, suck at sparring and have a small chance to win

Lol. ****s.

I enjoy them as well, and I'm obviously not a trial

'thats bcuz u dont pk nrd'
RIGHT. Because i'm not part of your erian demographic bullshit


Doom, There is (or was, might not be in eventlist anymore..) an event called Melee fight that was exactly this. Many players enjoyed it

what exactly does the server benefit from by limiting events? if you don't like a certain event, skip it and play the next one that will be hosted.

The closest thing to classic spar is boxing. the ninja event is everyone going at it in one room with both swords and projectiles, but the boxing is 1v1 and had only close combat. boxing gave that close feel to the feeling u get in classic spar, but not close enough. classic spar doesnt require more powerful attacks like the upper cut in boxing. all players r equal and have the same strength. its all determined by pure skill. thats what i love about classic spar. no projectiles to trap ur opponent. no grenades or teaming. its just u and ur wits. i feel that it would be a great event on era just like it is on zodiac. the zodiac classic events there got about 10-20 people joining in. they have classic spar for sumoflake, spar ring, and a few other events

Thank u

there's already boxing and knockout




i don't like to sit around waiting for real events to be hosted

dont make events. make the actual server interesting.

we're still waiting for the "gang eventbot"

You could just play classic.
Problem solved.

Lol @ gang event bot. Sales was wanting to do that and I don't think it will ever happen.

Yeah, I apologize for our staff team's awful way at responding to the player's suggestions. Don't worry, though. The last good thing they actually accomplished for the good of the server was...
Oh, nevermind. :d

You know, just
Gang Point Shop
Gang Bases
Holiday Events
Quest
New HUD
etc. etc.

I can say one thing, players are not really motivating volunteer staff to work harder.

You ladies sure know so pretty big bad words.

they just release stuff that's fun for a week or two then it just dies out

This Year in Review (cont.):
Betflipping
Holiday Shops (That weren't just recycled old crap)
Gang Buffs/Capture bases
Healing/Food revamp, balanced, + new type
Kill Streaks & Passive Buffs
Eventish Stuff (Outbreak, Rat Race, etc.)
Constant New Weapons/Auctions (Helicopters yo)
Gmap Revamp (still UC too)
Job Updates (Fishing/Flower Levels/Trash Levels)
New Car stuff w/ paints (still poof doe)
Complete Gun Stat revert & Complete Gun Price alteration
etc. etc.

I forgot nothing happened this year? :asleep:

GG 2012 Era. What's next?

@OP, go play classic then.

Uh Mall?! I think people still use that, I should add some new features I planned on doing.

Not really...

Business System
Era Lottery
Instaheal Hospital (w/ 5sec unstick)
Event Subscribe (new warp thingy, and hosting gui) & Team Ec
etc. etc.

Just going off stuff I've seen the past 2 minutes. I'll stop now you get the point.

Completely forgot about kill-streaks/gang bonuses/betflipping/healing foods
Lets not forget about that Halloween!
And kill-drops.

Ya, so if anything, you guys (non-staff) are the lazy ones.

it's extremely hard to keep players occupied with limited resources. you should be thankful that unpaid staff members give the slightest **** about the server to develop new content. someone's gotta do it, right? if you don't like the content they release then play something else.

They should either leave or join the staff team and try and make your own content like I did.

What, leave or join? Or both? :)

I was directing that statement toward the complainers.

I meant nothing really game changing has been released in a long time. Yeah, the little things you guys have added are pretty cool, but nothing has been done to really pull in new players or keeping the older ones playing. I just miss logging in and having a nice raid just waiting on me.
It's the one issue that needs to be at the top of your list. Gangs.

all this bashing and no love..

Working on it, it's really not that simple.. I've been shuffling leaders and making 'new' gangs. But it's the playerbase's attitude more-so than anything we can do. It's not like it used to be where we'd raid all day just for the sake of raiding and competing with each other.

Now there's all these incentives: points, money for kills, rewards for top points, tons of guns to unlock, even more money for point exchange.. the bases are how people *****ed and wanted them... even updated with anti-run & new doors & new captures, the guns are back at .05, the healing is superior and more balanced than ever, you can get up to 150hp and always be at max speed. Yet people simply dont want to raid.

We got activity up, everyone's forced to be on their gangtag. Yesterday with 70~ people online; exactly 50% were active gang members: BV had 15, BH had 9, TS had 5, and BB had 6 (Wil fired 2 of them for not participating, so 4). Yet they legitimately refused to raid or fight us (15v4), I even tried to do some prizeless mini-gang events and BV only agreed to one after Wil logged off.

I thought it was just them being lazy, so we purposefully spoon fed them a raid by hosting BH PK, yet still only 4-5 of them joined and the rest sat at the casino/unstick (a very small margin were actually 'afk'). And not a single one returned to the base after the warp ended.

I'd love to hear some ideas. You guys love to talk about it, but never participate yourselves. (Anfo, you recently lost gang leadership because you yourself never participated?)

I don't get it, what would make you guys want to participate? :confused::confused:
