I don't even play anymore and feel like i am wasting my time typing this but sure..
I don't understand why you guys keep coming on and repeating the same things day in, day out. I read the same stuff in every thread and you guys are just going in circles..
You have the 4 gang limit, then change to unlimited gangs (if you pay) then we go back to a 3 gang limit, then we go back to unlimited gangs (if you pay, but with member limit) and now there is talk of going back to the 4 gangs.
What am i even reading? Really? lol
I've said it a million times, unlimited gangs would be good but the problem here is that the player count does not support it unfortunately and for those reasons i would stick with the 3-4 gang limit in the first place, stop changing back to something that proved it didn't work in the first place. Smh.
Reasons: It thins the players out.. imagine a raid, it's 2-3, sometimes 4 gangs raiding but let's be honest. It's only 1-2 people per gang that's raiding. How is that a gang? That's just 2 buddy's teaming up together trying to get some kills. A gang is suppose to be a gang, a force that's suppose to come in numbers. With the current layout of gangs, it's not working and it will never work.
What i would do is, if it were me as Gang Admin. Is focus on entertaining gang players, stop trying to be Einstein and coming up with the genius idea and it turns out that it was an idea that's already been tried and failed, just stop.
I would bring it back to 2 Gangs. Reasons: Big rivalry is better than multiple imo. Makes is more fun and determined to beat them. Raiding in numbers which brings bigger battles within the bases. It gives Leaders a bigger role and they will be more determined to Lead because they are at higher risk of losing their gang (Gang Admins need to be hard on them, they don't and this is why there isn't as much activity). Events.. I would make this more fun and interesting. It's simple, A team, B team. A team can't face opposite gang's B team, this makes sure that both teams of players get to play so that 2 gangs and their members get to play. However, the twist is. Events will have a leader board type and the most team wins is required to claim the victorious gang and lift the prizes. So B teams will be required to do well, this makes gang leaders focus even more on who to recruit and let play. We have GUI that gang leaders select the A team and B team and locks it in.. Can not be changed after lock, unless there is good reasoning. This makes gang events more fun and enjoyable and no messing about.
Gang Member Limit. I would make them both unlimited but here is the twist. You can't recruit anyone. Why? Because it will be locked throughout the week. We will only have 1 day where we can recruit new members and lock them in for the week. What's the point of that? Simple, we will also have a gang point limit of 100 and if it's not met by the end of the week, they will be automatically removed by the server so no work is required by the Leader. This wont matter because people don't care? That's fine, once they get removed, they cant get added back to another gang for 1 week so this will make people raid to get the 100 limit just to remain in the gang and collect the EC's for being #1 gang. Now, for the recruiting day.. What if nobody comes online or nobody is online for that day. Well here's the thing, they don't need to be. Make a GUI system where they can request to join so their request will always be there and the gang leader just needs to look through them and accept whoever he wants but of course, this is only active on the day of 'Recruiting Day'.
Gang Bases.. Let's be honest, they are repetitive and people are sick of raiding them day in, day out. So what i would do is, i would create new levels and which up the locations every 2 months or so. Yes, it requires work, but work i don't mind doing because to me it works and it will be a success so it would be worth it. Or you could make 10-15 different levels and have them on a schedule to change automatically. That could also do the job.
New Prizes and rewards need to be created and some updates on the gang shop is also required.
And as Gang Admin, they need to be online having fun with the players. Hosting special events, surprising them with things. Giving them random events, with special prizes. Giving gangs challenges and just general management if you ask me.
I could add more, i could talk about it all day but i know for a fact i am wasting my time, but anyways. I can't help wanting to see this done but i don't believe i'll ever see it done. Forever going in circles.
