What Era should look like

[Jugglernaut]

It would still be nice to have instruments though, and simple to save all the scripts, graphics, etc to reimplement them immediately after the reset. The instruments really drew a lot of players in anyways, so it doesn't need to be at the bottom of the priority list.

Also Chris, now that rollbacks are no longer saved, what will you do if another player decides to glitch more money into the economy?

Event items (instruments) never should have never been able to be traded in the first place (at the time though I think it was just so we could get the rich players to actually spend their money). Instruments should have only been a main priority to participate in events. Then the main focus would be at making money for weapons and ammunition.

Era should look like this:

If there is gonna be a melee shop after the reset, how about restocking the melee weapons every once and awhile? Especially since they break

I think you're misunderstanding the whole concept that makes Graal unique. The point of having multiple servers in the game is so that you have different options of game genres to choose from. If you want to play an RPG server, play Zodiac or GK. If you want to play something that's more focused on player vs. player content, play Era or Zone. I think I've made my point clear by now.

If each server catered to the needs of every player, there would be no individuality among all of the servers. Simply put; if you don't like what Era is based around, go somewhere else.

[Komali]

Actually, Era SHOULD look like this after all the nukes the rich players spam in raids...

[swift]

I correct my mistake, THIS is what era should and will look like

Yeah.

[Jugglernaut]

Idea time: So everyone knows how there's a Casino on Era, right? Why not add Poker to it after the reset? I bet there would be atleast 5 players on average playing with each other. There would be tables you can make with set options, like blind amounts, pot limit, etc. Just make sure you put in a script to kick alt accounts from the Casino, no one likes a cheater.

This baby.. I love it! Pokeeeer <3

[Jugglernaut]

Yeah, another money making method!

And it will be hilarious to watch e-fights over losing money to this hater, that hater.

[salesman]

I've always wanted to make a cool poker game, but it's too big of a project for something that definitely isn't a priority.

[LordSquirt]

sales do it so I can own you like the noob you are

[Jugglernaut]

Well, it was only a suggestion. Don't forget about it though!

the current inventory has an unlimited amount of item slots, you just can't see them until you use up all the space on the first "screen" of the inventory.

no. it goes on and on as you obtain more items. i was just trying to make a point that inventory slots really have nothing to do with how much you can carry. that's all with the weight system.

[KrimsonSky]

O.o hope there's an option to keep everything how it was. :X

Cool idea i thought of awhile back:

New way to get guns. There are hidden shops through out the sewers or hidden where ever. Not like a place to buy a gun, but it's where you can make the gun. Kinda like a black smith or whatever. You just have to gather the parts. We have a parts shop in current era and it's pretty useless. This way you have to collect all the parts, and then go make the gun and you get it. Not like the Colt shop in the sewers where you have to make it, then buy it.

Also i thought it'd be cool if there was a blueprint shop for some guns, and then you have to buy the blueprint and take it to a blacksmith, gather the parts, then make the gun.

Idk, seems alittle bit to like.. old timed/Role-play i guess but it'd be kinda fun i guess.

[Supaman771]

Gunsmithing skill, the higher your level the better % you have to successfully make it, and you can make new guns every few levels.

Level 100 = Mp5 with like .01% chance

This.

Why not make it, also, so that certain things can become better with time, sort of a skill factor in a lot of what you do. A bit of an RPG element, only a hidden one.

For example:

as a start - AK-47 will begin with high freeze, slower fire rate, and quite a bit of spread (too much to be a good thing).

Make it so that as players play with a weapon, they have a hidden mastery level so that the weapon they use can reach a point of actually being good as the player him or herself gets better using x weapon.

So basically by the end of its complete mastery, the AK-47 end up with a lower freeze/recoil in this case, and a fire-rate that accurately matches the guns limits.

Uh isn't there a store full of gun parts? or some gun parts at least like barrels n ****?

[Robocop300]

Yeah, but it doesn't serve any purpose to regular players. It'd be cool if you could use those parts in exchange to build yourself a weapon at the weapon shop or something so it makes the player much more involved than just paying cash up front.

But like Swift had said, it might be even better to have that ability used by players in like underground weapon shops throughout the sewer, each with their own specific weapon, a collection of materials needed for em, and a percentage rate of success accounted for by the amount of your "gunsmith" level and just a base rate of success given on whatever weapon that underground shop offers.

-------------

But back to the original question, that store only really serves purpose for the businesses. It's used for stocking certain weapons, but other than that, it doesn't do anything for the rest of the players.

Maybe you can get a little more graphical with the gun stats(radar chart):

Nothing. You would relabel them with the existing stats.

Using an individual bar for each stat is much easier though, and is simpler for everyone to understand.

[KrimsonSky]

I Might actually come back O.o ... seems like some interesting stuff is going on.

[Robocop300]

Interesting discussion, but not really much of anything just yet.

It's just a thought. The ability to make players gradually test the limits of a weapon as they get better with it makes it so that a player can spend more time with a gun rather than just making Era the current trading/market game it is now (barely anyone actually plays for the intended PK-ing purpose, half of Era spends its time on 'unstick me' playing on instruments and sending messages to other players about trading weapons.

One thing that could be done to help equalize just playing with a weapon all day, or shooting at a blank wall, is give some small goals that must be met with the gun to reach the next level.
I.e: kill 5 people using only AK-47 to reach next level of efficiency.
