Gang system suggestion

[Rave_J]

why not just go back to the only gang system that works since era history ?
Have gangs that sell gang weapons and gang ammo (gang weapons not gang locked) and make it where you can only buy the gang weapon and ammo from a gang member.
So gangs can be profitable too, Did no one wonder why their was ammo to stock or mines for gangs ?
One example was LC had the hyper shell gun that sell hyper shell ammo. Might cost a gang member 10k to buy it and they sell it to the public for 20k etc their is profit margin but you can also make it where only high ranks can buy and sell thought. Maybe you can throw themes into gangs as well like Vampire gang in the sewers, a bank robber gang in the subway or BB their hideout would be in the subway. etc There tons of things that era hasn't done yet

What gang system would that be? Cause as far as I'm concerned, all it consisted of was gang tags with basic player hire/fire. The players have changed and that basic system will not work.

I'm working on it because I believe players will enjoy it. It wasn't my idea, but I do support positive changes within the server. That being said, if the system ends up being unsuccessful it will be very easy to revert back to the current system.

P.S.
Why do we let people who don't PK develop our gang and pk systems?

You hate anything that's even remotely different. Aside from that, PKing is nothing more than arrow keys, shooting, and reloading. Let's not make it something more.

Also, the draft system is open for suggestions. If you don't like your leader, then you'll be able to report them using the internal draft tools that I will be working on. It would be very easy to swap leaders within a gang.

You're still missing the point. The way you want gangs to be just makes the game more individualized. Chances are no matter who is leading, you will most likely not work together as a group like you would with others. This system will not work. As neat as it can be, this does not work for gangs, especially changing gangs every week.

PKing is more than just pressing arrows and reloading and shooting, someone who has been an avid player would tell you that. Eclipse has a point as well, staff members who were not players in the past do not know what the players want. In all honesty, most of the Era players do not know what they want.

Tim, we know you work hard and you provide a lot of stuff in the development areas, but in all respect, I do not think you should have much input on gangs and PKing.

Let the Gang Admin make those decisions, along with other staff members who have been players in the past.

This is why your system will suck, because "Pking is just hitting arrows and reloading"

When was the last time you raided, owned a gang, pked for more than 3 minutes. You were NEVER a good pker or even relevant in eras past, yet you are going to cal the shots

it's like your the admin that slipped through the cracks and everyone's like, "ehh alright he can stay"

It's not even my system nor my idea, this system manages gangs through captains and drafts.

I've been calling the shots for a while now, not every little change I make is advertised. I don't have to PK everyday to know what players will enjoy.
