Suggestions

[Tim_Rocks]

Heres My Suggestion:

Boats/HouseBoats. -GG works with boat just like in a car-

Gas/Oil Companys.

Docks.

Player Owned Shops -You Must Pay Rent and Your Taxed Big Time-

Car Shop. -Fully Customized Car- Example: Color, Wheelz, Stripes, Colored HeadLights.

Helicopters. -For Everyone This Time!-Costs Alot, Maybe EP Or Even Both?-

The Ability To Lend Your Car To Friends -Just Like You Could With Helicopters When They Where Owned By Gangs-

More Ways To Make Money. -I kinda Like How Any One Can Make Money At SP-

Dirt Bikes/Motorcycles. -Completed-

Tree Cutting -use the wood to make Boats ect.-//It's Just A Thought...

House System/Appartments -As in make your own Furniture with the wood you cut-

Some Kind Of Pet. -Maybe Ones That Could Harm Others-

Animals That Try And Kill You.
-As In Wild Animals that will try and Harm you for example:
Crabs -Sometimes while digging for shells one will try and attack you-
Snakes -If your digging in grass they will try and attack you-
Wild Dogs -If your trespassing Or Entering Certain Areas They Will Attack You, maybe you could use dogs for a quest-
Deer -Kill for the meat and make some deer jerky-Biz could use the meat and make jerky-
Capture animals and use as pets.-One Pet at a Time-

This Is All I Can Think Of Right Now.

Qustions Or Comments?

[Sinkler]

I would love an oil company on Era.
Helicopters would be cool but has to be expensive.
Boats, we need fishing to make it fun.

[Tim_Rocks]

Fishing Would Be A great Way To Make Money and Would Make Good Use Of Boats.

[cbk1994]

Some suggestions are decent, but a lot wouldn't work well. For example, how would mobile phones work? I think they said that a larger overworld is pretty much done also. Customizing cars would be kinda cool, but I've already customized mine.



I'm also not sure if it'd be possible to allow a lot of customizations without making tons of different versions of the same car (some parts of the car might lag behind, etc).

I don't really like the idea of wild animals.

Why do you capitalize every word in the sentence?

[Frankie]

bigger map? probably half of the map isn't even used. if anything we need a smaller map

[Tim_Rocks]

Well The Map Thing Was Just Kinda Thrown Out There And So Was Cell Phones... Don't Really Know Why I Have All The Letters In Caps, Just Kinda Felt Like It. Lol

I See What You Mean About The Car, But Maybe You Could Just Make A Few Different Versions Of The Same Car And Just Offer Different Colors

These Cars Are Just An Example Of How You Could Customize Color...

[ArushenP2P]

You need a smaller map, because there isn't much development going on. So it stays the same. You need to add more things in order to go bigger than car demands would get bigger, and the cars would be of much use.

[Demisis_P2P]

the map needs 2 be smaller so its easier to find ppl and slaughter the crap out of them.

also car customizing wheels? lol. when do u EVER see wheels?

[Tim_Rocks]

Ok The Wheels Thing Might Of Been A Bad Idea, But What I Was Thinking Is You Could Change The Wheels For Different Terrains.

For Example: When You Drive On The Grass Or Sand Your Car Slows Down, I Was Thinking Different Types Of Wheeles For What Ever You Plan On Doing.

The Cheap Wheels Would Be For Just Roads.

The Exspensive Wheels Would Be For All Terrain, Which Makes It So Your Car Only Slows Down A Little Bit On Grass Or Sand.

-Oh Forget About The Map Thing, That Was Dumb For Me To Say That...

[Tim_Rocks]

I just thought of something, I'm not sure if anyone will agree, but here it is...

Make all gang guns available to everyone... but what I was thinking was that the guns are only as powerful when your on tag. So lets say I had a Black Holster and I'm not currently in BH. It would make the Black Holster to not be as powerful as it would ontag, it would just downgrade offtag and would have more freeze while shooting and during reload, less bullets in the clip, and prob. hit less... This would encourage others that are in a gang to be on tag more often so they can get the full advantage of their gang gun and allow anyone to use the downgraded version of the gun. This would make Era alot more fair for everyone that can't get into a gang for whatever reason to be able to use gang guns and would allow other gangs to use rival gang's guns.
-Also I have posted a poll:
Should Gang Guns Be Available To Everyone?
*Yes.
*No.
*I Don't Really Care...
-I hope this made since if not I will try to make it better, but what ever
-If this didn't really make since then here is an attachment that might be a better example...

By the way theres two options you can go by:
-Option 1: To get full advantage of your gang gun you must be on tag
-Option 2: To get full advantage of your gang gun you just have to be in that gang

[CharlieM]

With the system crow is doing it wouldnt matter, this poll is irrelevent to suggestions because of what is being done.

[xAzerothx]

Lol? Why's it called a Gang Gun if everyone can use it and you don't even have to be in the gang?

[Tim_Rocks]

First, what system is crow doing and i just made poll because I was bored...

Second, It would still be a gang gun because if your in the gang that the gun belongs to then your gun gets a stat upgrade... Which basicly means Nothing would really even change with the gang guns, but every one would get to use it and the gang gun stats are downgraded...

Third, Its just a suggestion so this is pretty much pointless to argue about it because it really doesnt matter...

-If you know what crows doing please tell me where i can find it

[xAzerothx]

You have a good point so I won't argue with you.

It's just when I think Gang Gun I think a special weapon only people in a certain guild can use. Kind of like those uniforms in World of Warcraft.

I guess he was talking about the gang gun system the new gang system will have, which is a gun rack where gang members can take out a gang gun (there are 5 in there if no ones are taken) if they have the right to do so. When they log off, the guns go back into the gun rack, and the guns cant be traded, dropped, or anything else.

I don't play Era, but I really like that idea.

[Crono]

Enable assembling guns in your gang bases with feasible materials.Again.

Ok that sounds pretty cool and its a great idea... Sorry for my last post about the gang guns as it was probably a waste of time to even post something like that, but i was not aware of this wonderful system lol

[DuBsTeRmAn]

Great Idea's, I would love to see them all released in the game XD

[Yocas]

Just throwing this out there; is there any point what so ever in gangs raiding each other than gaining bragging rights?

[Tim_Rocks]

I don't really see a point to it, which is why i really don't wanna be in a gang to be bossed around and yelled at for no reason...

[Tim_Rocks]

Well since were just throwing things out there Lol, I think Era needs some new quests...

-Ones that offer either new rewards, like new guns like how the colts were introduced or more hp is always good.

-Not sure what you will think of this, but the quest could start off with this new gang robbing a bank and this old man (Bank Owner) offeres a reward if you goto their gang base and kill every one and collect all his money back for a reward, maybe a new gun or some more health, who knows it's up to the staff, if they like the idea...

Which is why I've never stayed in a gang longer than a day.

No. The quest that are out are already stupid as hell.

Oh... Well the only quest I have every found stupid is that dumb ninja quest that makes you constantly restart all the time, the rest are all to easy

[Crow]

Yocas, thats why we need new ones, and we also have to dump the current ones. All the quests we have now basically suck.

[Tim_Rocks]

I agree, but if we dump the current ones won't we lose are hp? donno... But we need some new quests with some good twists are turns, something that will challenge us...

We (As in Everyone) also need to brain storm some ideas and themes for possible quests so staff could have something to work with, then maybe things could get done at a faster rate.

[DuBsTeRmAn]

Well, Era got 3 LAT's.. And the only thing i see coming new, Is alot of events.

[Yocas]

The only reason I hated some of the quest was because you needed a group. If you were to take some "vacation" you'd end up having to team up with some trials who have no idea what the hell is going on and never finish the quest. Also the fact that this is a modern server; I never had the idea of a genre like that to have quest until I first logged on this one.

Speaking of trials, staff really, and I mean really need to make some sort of newbie course for them. They log on and are instantly killed once they walk out side of "unstick me". And once they actually learn how to even get a few bucks in their wallet (based off the fact if they stay on long enough to learn), they easily get scammed by some Era veteran.

This is why Zodiac usually has more players. They have a course in the beginning that gives them an idea on what the hell is going on. The newbies on Era end up leaving after about 10 unexplained deaths.

zodiac really isn't any better. as soon as you walk out of OSL you get slammed by ***gots farming kills off of low levels. just like you get killed on Era.

That's why they made other ways of getting out of the osl tho ;o

A newbie course is planned.

No kidding. But at least by the time that happens they know how to avoid it and they know what that whole bull is about. On Era, they can't even tell where and what the difference between a PK zone and a Non-PK zone is.

That's pretty much why I voted for an indoor "unstick me". If you're worried about people door laming, just add more than one entrance, or even a sewer exit.

[CharlieM]

The outdoor stick is great because you have so many places to go, I think maybe like a multiple choice unstick dunno if thats possible though..Atleast it would take a little work like let people say "unstick 1" or "unstick2" to go to different unsticks so people cant camp them all day

[Tim_Rocks]

Well I think thats a good idea, but I also think this is a good idea... When you die a menu pops up like when you wanna be revived saying North Hosp. Or South Ridge Hosp.

You (Sun Sep 07 03:46:04 2008):

well thats good, so i need to know something what is the problem with eras economy is it too much wealth or too much items and not enought money to back it up i really have no clue

---
Opposite (Sun Sep 07 03:48:07 2008):

Well to be exact, the problems that faces the economy are; High prices of every item in the economy, too much money in people's pockets. Probably more.


---
You (Sun Sep 07 03:49:48 2008):

ok thats what i thought the problem was, because i have a hopfully great idea to fix the problem but it might require a reset, and i might post the idea on the forums 2marrow

---
Opposite (Sun Sep 07 03:54:06 2008):

A resert is what the staffs are trying to evade. I know restting seems evitable, but that is the last resort I think the staffs will do if else fails.


---
You (Sun Sep 07 03:56:26 2008):

well yes but ill suggest my idea which might require a reset not sure i havnt written the idea on paper yet

---
Opposite (Sun Sep 07 03:56:50 2008):

Oh, well good luck. The Administrators are close minded and concieted and They won't accept any ideas from the community.


---

You (Sun Sep 07 04:06:02 2008):

lemme ask you something, do you think eras economy would be better if there was a limited amount of money on the entire server

---
Opposite (Sun Sep 07 04:06:22 2008):

What do you mean by that?


---
You (Sun Sep 07 04:09:23 2008):

well on my test level i have an example safe that represents the entire servers money and economy... and lets say theres only 1mil in that safe... when you make money like sell one shell for 5 bucks the economys safe drops 5 bucks... now lets say theres only 800k in that save, which means the 200k is with the people now and i release a 5k gun money goes back into safe and so on lol long

---
You (Sun Sep 07 04:10:16 2008):

so wouldnt the money stay the same??? it was just go back and forth from the people to the serversafe

---
Opposite (Sun Sep 07 04:12:09 2008):

Nah than the safe would be bankrupt, and whatnot. One way I would do it is that the economy will be monitored. It's similar to yours. It shows how much money is out there in the economy meaning putting everyone's money and making an estimate. Than monitor items, so that duping may be detected, etc.


---
This is a conversation I had with a friend on Era yesterday, and my question is could this work, if not what could make it better?

[Yocas]

One thing I don't want to see after the next reset (if there is one) is speed levels. For the love of Allah, DELETE THEM ALREADY.

On a side note, claymores could use a little tweaking. If they are going to be a one hit death trap then they should have a delay or some sort of way for the player to avoid them. It's kind of annoying coming out of the hospital, after waiting for your entire health bar to regenerate, and having to do it all over again because of the claymores that are laid right outside.

A three second countdown would be nice.

Opposite (Sun Sep 07 03:56:50 2008):

Oh, well good luck. The Administrators are close minded and concieted and They won't accept any ideas from the community.

This is my Testlevel.nw I was talking about, I hope this makes my last post a little more clear... If not it's still a fun level to mess around with a gun offline...

Lol, I'm thinking the only reason the speed levels are on Era is so we all stop carrying so much stuff and so we all put it in a locker and spend alot of money for Locker time and for the locker itself... Maybe, but i do enjoy the speed system because it makes it easier to kill people who are carrying alot of stuff...

It makes it easier to kill people who haven't spent their time leveling up speed in a virtual gym. I got to level 1 and stopped because I couldn't see my self doing this every day when I could be at an actual gym working out.

As I mentioned this before, the fact that some people can move as fast, if not faster, than a bullet is stupid as hell. I rather the default speed just kept at level 1 or 2; none of this leveling system bull should had ever been added.

[xAzerothx]

Create a bot that will do the work for you while you're at the gym in real life.

Simple.

[ArushenP2P]

If you do multiple unstick me's, than your bound to have warpers. Locations will be easier to get to. Leaving a lot of things unbalanced.
