Ideas, suggestions, and discussion!

[Frankie]

I know that there's already a thread where people have been posting ideas and suggestions but I wanted to start over on a clean sheet and make this thread a bit more official. I also have something to say regarding my activity so I thought it would be nice to start a new thread.

School has just started a week ago for me and I'm still trying to get used to having to go 5 days a week then spend my weekend working my job. It has caused a bit of inactivity because I've been really tired. I should be fine now.

Anyway, to the real deal. GOOD NEWS.
We have a dev server. No 30 day temporary dev server bull**** that Stefan offered us. We have it for 6 months.

We want to add a lot of new things to make the game more fun and enjoyable. Most players agree that right now the server is extremely boring. I agree with you 100<percent>! My ideas are limited, and so are the other staff's. I want you all to post your ideas here and open them for discussion. I will read every idea posted here and also give every one feedback on what I think.

I'll start off with one of my ideas.

I want to change around gangs a lot. Right now people don't really have any incentive to raid each other. Points? You can't do anything with points right now. It's just a number. Letting gangs buy things with their points wouldn't be a bad idea. I don't really support that as much as others do. If we do add a shop to spend gang points, we would most likely allow people to buy base upgrades. Adding HP to certain doors, making your medkits/beds heal more, allowing an additional gang gun to the rack (this is off of another idea with gang guns) etc etc.

What I really want to do is create main capture points around Era that gangs can take over and gain certain advantages (sounds a lot like Zodiac but that didn't occur to me until after someone pointed it out) These capture points will only open when the player count reaches a certain point, or when a certain amount of gang members are on. For example, when 5 or more players from a minimum of 2 gangs are online, a server message will be sent saying that the capture points are open.

Having control of these capture points will give unique bonuses to the gang members that control it (if you get off tag while you have the 'bonus' you will lose it) I had in mind speed increases, gun damage increase, wound resistance increase, etc (feel free to add on!!) I think it would be really fun. The demand to join gangs will increase and more players will be on gang tag so the bonuses effect them.

Please, post away! Please do not flame each others ideas. Constructive criticism is welcome. All will be taken into consideration.

Thanks!
