Gang raids and earning points.

It's always the same with every forum thread. All i see is people trying to be a smartass and say it won't work this and that but never anybody saying hey, what about this and that, good idea, let's do this, and let's do that.

Vicious circle, either somebody being a smartass, going off topic or the thread getting locked because some douche bag can't keep his mouth shut.

We will never get stuff done or achieve anything if we don't start working together on these issues.

What happened to this?
Your last few posts have just been you bashing on ideas.

Also, what's your motivation for wanting to earn points without having to raid to get them?
If you're just transferring it into money, you could easily just do something that gives you money directly.
(Jobs satisfy the criteria of being doable while no one else is on, as well as giving you money.)
Beyond that, what else do you even do with points?

And wouldn't it be a better goal to encourage raiding instead of giving people less of a reason to raid?
(Which is what you would be doing by giving people a way to earn points without raiding.)

Nothing happened to it, what ideas am i bashing? I like rogues idea and said about others that i liked their ideas. Rogues just trying to bash me, as always.

Well, that's the idea behind this thread to see if anybody else had any ideas or suggestions because i honestly don't have many myself. I'd like something to do because clearly raiding is dying out and it rarely happens nowadays.

Well of course but where have you been all these years? Obviously this doesn't happen.

You can ask any GBA and they will tell you that i was never of their back about trying to encourage raiding. I'm all for that, i wish they'd do that. Raids never happen now, most points all coming from bh pk and gang ulms and gang events, sadly.

I only log on this server to raid and do gang related stuff. I remember logging in and there was always gang activity but now when i log in there is none of it. I have to mass over and over to get people to come and i'm lucky to get 2-3 gang kills in 20 mins and then i just give up and log of.

Gang base is to repetitive, always raiding the same base over and over again.
Gangs are so thinned out now that you will only fight 1-2 per gang.
Gang guns are so OP that they have now put people of even raiding against them.
Gang events happen less and you only get to play a handful of events where you use to get to play a lot of events. They are also hosted a lot slower. (3.5 hours on sunday for only a handful of events).

I could go on and on but it seems to be the people here talking like they know what's going on when i never see them raid or do anything gang related. Smh.

I welcome ideas and suggestions from people who want to see changes and takes part in gang related activity. This is what this thread is for and what would be even more better is somebody who can listen and do something about it.

If you don't raid or take part in anything gang related then i guess this thread is probably not for you.

Coming from the person who threatens people irl more than anyone. Hm.
My solution is to increase playercount by 100x. Go buy advertising and better servers and fix the subscription system.
Good work team.

I threaten people irl? What are you even talking about. I don't threaten anyone. I'm like 3k miles from probably the closest person on the server. Let's not make things up now. I don't even know you, you just came to me one time and told me you had phone sex with tina and then she denied it and you fell out with those guys because you made it up. lulz. Cool story bro. Already proving my point, going of topic and running your mouth.

For somebody who talks a lot about how bad this server is, always running down staff and players. You seem to find a lot of time to discuss it and log on.

Stop contradicting yourself, Kid.

Edit: How many times have you also made a thread saying you where gone and weren't coming back and said your goodbyes. Yet you're still here, over and over again. Do us all a favor and stick with your word and don't come back unless you have something good to say.

The player count is only as low as it is due to banned players, half of the population that used to play are banned for ridiculously stupid reasons, another half are banned for no reason at all just a personal vendetta. If you really want to fix the server, unban everyone, no longer ban people but simply reset and jail them for large amounts of time.

Honestly, Koho is right, stop the crying, stop the personal hate and stop the ****ing kiddy **** you guys keep doing, if you want the server to succeed and move forward, you have to do that together, if you want it to crash and burn, continue to be down each others throat every chance you get, oh and when you get a staff tag ban anyone you don't like.

You do.
Though it requires being #1 gang, so you wouldn't know.

Considering we are just a new gang and have finished #1 every week bar one since we have been here. I'm happy with that. Also, why work your ass of to finish #1 when you get nothing for it.

@Shrimps, I am not 100% on it but from what i have been told that's how it worked. Maybe somebody here who can check can tell us what it really does but regardless of that, it's not good enough.

You "'work" your ass off to be the #1 gang on era.... Get a job, a life, and a girlfriend.

Sorry for being a smartass? I caught chronic hypocrisy from all the posts on this forum :/
Anyways, I'm not sure unbanning everyone would suddenly revitalize the game. For the portion of the banned players that do come back, some will inevitably try to destroy the server again (like MD's spawning spree), some will get bored or fed up with the state of things (could the server even handle double the playercount? struggles at ~100 lol) and stop after a few days/weeks and some will try really hard to get back into it and possibly stick around hoping to make Era everything it used to be for them.
For all the other people that are banned they probably just won't care that they're unbanned since they've moved on and found better things or are too busy irl to come back to Era.
It could definitely add a few (maybe 50?) regular players but I'm not sure it's an end-all solution.

[shrimps]

But I am 100% sure.

Let's add these to the gang bases.

Awesome, how would they work though?

I can see these being used in multiple ways. If you have caped the base, they become taged to your gang and if they kill other gang members points get added to your gang. If they get damaged a gang member will have to go somewhere and collect the parts and bring it back to repair it or something along those lines.

Or we could kill these turrets for gang points. Though will they always pop up? They couldn't always be there as it would just be a bullet fest in every raid.

How do you plan on using these, Tim?

[Tim_Rocks]

Very good question, basically I was thinking of allowing these turrets to be built using parts acquired through raids, points spent, and repairs.

What I was brainstorming the other day for combat use was to allow the turret damaged, but not through PKing. I was thinking they could over-heat or jam causing you to have to fix them. I was also thinking that they'd act as a regular item, you drop the turret on the ground, then load ammunition into the turret. As long as the gun doesn't break down or run out of ammunition it would remain active defending your base.

To make things more fair, I was thinking the turret would only do 5 damage max, and have an ammunition limit of 1,000. Everyone can be hurt by it's bullets, but only enemies are actual targets.

You're welcome to provide feedback, as nothing I have said is final by any means.

Good idea but see some potential issues with it. Would it be worth purchasing this? That's the question. It couldn't be cheap as everyone would just be dropping turrets. It also couldn't be expensive because would it be worth spending your points on these turrets if they're not as effective.

You might have to earn them as a perk or something.

How could you purchase this at a reasonable price that is worth it but not reasonable enough for everyone to purchase them as it would cause issues within the bases and it might also cause server lag.

I really love the idea of turrets but cant get my head around how they would work.
