things that don't work and things that should be changed

After playing for a couple of days I noticed many changes (some I like and some I don't), but also many bugs.

Firstly, I will list what is broken and should be fixed:
1. The auto-reload (options>weapons>auto-reload) function does not work at all. Turning it on or off makes no difference, and this was actually a great option which used to work.
2. The Napalm Grenades (and probably also all the other explosives) deal no damage in gang bases. They work fine outside but even if you walk into the fire in a gang base you recieve no damage.
3. PL-9 Logistic Laser is disabled in events, makes no sense.
4. Players are able to inflict damage after they die. This incredibly favours laggers..yesterday in ULMS this dude kept warping and people kept killing him with melee weapons (his lag was THAT bad), yet his bullets still managed to kill people after he died..and there were a lot of bullets. The same problem occurs in gang bases, sometimes in a 1v1 situation both players manage to die.

Now, this is what I don't like and staff should CONSIDER:
1. HP limit at 140. Gives no motivation to go further. It's also a huge damage to the gelat shop (YES STEFAN YOU'RE MAKING LESS MONEY NOW) since your hp can't go over 140 even though you're using a vitality potion.
2. Gun stats. Having guns with lower freeze would give players a greater variety of "usable" weapons. I could go on forever listing the pros of the old gun stats but I've already been ignored too many times.
3. Gang bases. Take the staff blocks off from BH and move it to it's old location please (where avantgarde currently is, and where nobody ever raids). Raids are all at vortex atm (I've heard many negative opinions regarding the base), although it's a runner-friendly environment. Having BH close to unstick would help especially for raids involving smaller numbers of players, and you could still raid Vortex or any other base if you desire.
4. It would be nice to see some new hats since it's a while none have been released. The hats released should be old hats which no longer exist (nuada's fkn hat, blue/red juggernaut hats etc...) plus new hats, maybe obtained by a hat contest or something like that. I also think there should be a wide range of prices in new released hats, as well as rarity (i.e. 3-5 of each 50k hat, 10 of each 30k hat, 20 of each 20k hat and so on...).
5. Spartan Laser is OP (it's 60dmg and it shoots huge bullets lol), other gang guns maybe are too but I havn't had a chance to try them yet.
6. Barrels. Why have they been buffed? They do like 80damage and hit you even if you're quite far from them..it's only annoying and I honestly don't see who could enjoy it except if you like to camp barrels waiting for people to come in.
7. We need deathstreaks rather than killstreaks, all killstreaks do is give an even greater disadvantage to the losing gang and motivate people to run in order to keep their killstreak alive. With useful deathsteaks the losing gang would keep on raiding for longer, instead of just quitting and ruining the fun for all the gangs.

You keep posting things that try to benefit you personally, don't try to bring the other players into this. Guns are fine the way they are, they should never be changed again. The fact that you're now the only person who is still trying to fight this is a testament to how you're only trying to benefit yourself.

the second list is stuff that should be CONSIDERED by staff, you may not agree with one of my points but it doesn't mean that the others should be ignored, none of these points benefit me personally

Really? Gun stats wouldn't benefit yourself? If I don't recall actions speak louder than words and when I used to play with the current gun stats you would just sit at unstick and never pk. I know you're going to deny this, but I remember all of us Souls watched you just sit and do nothing. Also, new hats would benefit you personally because you have the money to buy a bunch of hats.

u have a vivid imagination, i played for a couple of months with the new stats then i stopped. it makes the game less fun and easier so it's probably one of the reasons why i didn't play for a while, but not the only one..i actually quit after the new bases were released since i was disappointed with them because they're very runner-firendly. i realise you have personal problems which make you angry, but talking **** on the forums won't make your life more enjoyable
it's quite sad that your "family" has nothing better to do than watch me lmao, i feel honoured though
oh btw i'm not the only person on era who likes hats or who has a lot of money

I think you're wrong to say all of these things would only benefit TK (although they do seem a bit biased to things he'd prefer in SOME cases).

As far as hats go, specifically, I'd like to see new/unused ones released as well. However..I don't think they should be super rare like that. I thought staff were trying to shift away from an economy based game, anyway.

So all of those masses I see on Era aren't economy related? Okay, thanks for helping me understand that.

It does work, just tried it with a tommy gun. Please give more detail, what gun, etc.

Quote:

Non-gang members can't do damage in bases (melee,projectile,grenades,fire,etc);
Just tested this too, and it does the damage if whoever started the fire (thrown the napalm) is in a gang, it does damage.

This can be considered to be removed, though.

Quote:
3. PL-9 Logistic Laser is disabled in events, makes no sense.
No clue why it was disabled, and since no one cared to leave a comment about it,
it has been re-enabled for the time being until an argument is brought forward to disable it.

This is true in those laggy situations. I have added a check for the ping.
Here is what it currently is (in a way most people can understand)

if the attacker is dead:
- if the attackers ping >= 300, don't do damage
- if the attackers ping < 300 do damage

You can now get up to 150 hp if you are using a vitality potion.

Not sure this is going to happen. I really don't think stats of the guns should be a priority right now, as they are already quite balanced and easy to use for all. Of course, all players have their own opinion on this.

Quote:
3. Gang bases. Take the staff blocks off from BH and move it to it's old location please (where avantgarde currently is, and where nobody ever raids). Raids are all at vortex atm (I've heard many negative opinions regarding the base), although it's a runner-friendly environment. Having BH close to unstick would help especially for raids involving smaller numbers of players, and you could still raid Vortex or any other base if you desire.
BH is still in proximity to unstick. With the release of the gang bonuses, I would have thought people would raid different bases because of the different bonuses... imo, the avant guard bonus or the BH bonus are the 2 best.

Zach released a shop FULL of new hats around june-july (I think).
But hey, its almost halloween! So expect some new hats.

Quote:
5. Spartan Laser is OP (it's 60dmg and it shoots huge bullets lol), other gang guns maybe are too but I havn't had a chance to try them yet.
The spartan laser is rotated every other week with gang events. They deserve the gun and it really isn't that OP since the winner is the only gang to have it.

Quote:
6. Barrels. Why have they been buffed? They do like 80damage and hit you even if you're quite far from them..it's only annoying and I honestly don't see who could enjoy it except if you like to camp barrels waiting for people to come in.
Should be good now, tested and only does 30dmg. The problem was that their was no time check between hits and the damage would just stack up (which makes sense, but degrades the gameplay).

Quote:
7. We need deathstreaks rather than killstreaks, all killstreaks do is give an even greater disadvantage to the losing gang and motivate people to run in order to keep their killstreak alive. With useful deathsteaks the losing gang would keep on raiding for longer, instead of just quitting and ruining the fun for all the gangs.
Would be an interesting concept, we could take ideas from players in-game and see their thoughts.

Get on with your ****in' life TK... god damn I thought you claimed to be some hard-ass badass, but all you do is complain about this game, and don't bother with replying to me because I won't even care what your punk-ass has to say.
