I was wondering the same thing. Kia's posts have been bizarre non-sequitur lately, which is strange because he/she seemed like a fairly intelligent individual when we talked before.

I actually feel like something fun could be done with it, but when I tried a quest on era sadly you're right.

I wanna see a modern graal server, or a city in one, with an isometric perspective for the buildings like Fourside in Earthbound.

well I didn't mean shitty era quests, I was talking about a hypothetical "classic" quest-event-npc bullshit-sparring server that just uses like three gun types instead of typical sword/bomb/arrow



the only era quests I remember are the ninja hideout and the sewer with zombies and I don't ****ing remember when that was but christ were they a chore

We want hypershell

Do we get to pick a gun after the reset so we dont spwn with nothen

[LimetasticSlushy]

Well the execution of this certainly flopped ._. I'm not really wanting to wait until Christmas in February before everything falls into place. The reset should've been postponed until the Christmas quest in the first place, certainly would've left one less person aggravated, I can tell you that much.

I still stand by the idea that era should shift towards loadout based gameplay where you can login and jump right into the action. put 100% of the focus on pking, gangs, events, and completely strip away the economy. you could keep money in the game, but make pking the primary source of income. there are plenty of ways to give money a purpose. although players would have instant access to majority of guns in the game with the loadout system, you could require items like explosives and armor to be purchased, or allow players to have a specialty weapon in their loadout, but the specialty weapon would need special ammo that needs to be purchased.

I won't get too into it because it'll never happen. I suggested the same thing a few years ago and was met with a lot of resistance. yet here we are with a reset on the horizon, and I can not wrap my head around the idea of people actually wanting to start from scratch and go through a process that has been completely exhausted for how many years now?

maybe I'm wrong, but I truly believe that era and pc graal in general's only hope of getting "new" players is to attract older players back to the game. resetting the server with the intention of balancing the economy would essentially be shooting yourself in the foot at this point. you need something fresh to spark some life into era, not a "balanced economy."
