However, I do have a question for you. What would you like to see on the current server? What kind of updates are you looking, or do you believe would have the best outcome and can generally be used by a large portion of the server?

I have yet to see any effort being put into a new gang system, which I would really like to see on Era. sure, the idea of a new one has been talked about for a while, but it's about time development on one actually started.

specifically, gangs need more of a purpose. there needs to be benefits from raiding a gang instead of just "haha we took your base."

gang events should be hosted weekly again, and there should be at least 4 or 5 different events. 1 event a week. rotate the events this way an event doesn't get old. having a koth every week would make gangs get bored of it. having a koth, then 4 other events over 4 weeks, then koth again, it won't be as boring!

have different bases around the server that gangs can capture for advantages. maybe one base will allow them an extra +10 HP, and another base might allow them +5 damage on their guns. these benefits would make gangs want to have these bases, and there will be huge conflicts for the territory. it would be neat. these benefits will only be useful if you're on gang tag, so this will encourage a lot more people to join a gang and be on tag.

what else???? idk!!! so much!

make pking a bit more rewarding. maybe killing people can give you points and you can spend it on little stuff such as increased clip size or shorter bleed times. a lot can be done here.

just a few ideas. most of the stuff revolves around gangs.

It has. Just hammering out the details with Chris and I will start on it soon.

There will be much more of a purpose to gangs, and I think you'll like what we have in mind. There will be several options when it comes to leading a gang, and leaders will be able to choose them based on their priorities.

Gang events are fun ocassionally, but they're really just a sad attempt at trying to give current gangs meaning.

We have something similar in mind, but it's a little more thought out than this...same concept.

I've also thought of some things that will help with this, mainly in the area of sparring and have started discussing them with Chris. Hopefully we'll be able to see some updates in this area as well.
