My opinion @ gangs

Once you earn a two-kill streak you should earn two points(three-streak *three points*, four-streak *four points*) once you kill another enemy, so on and so on until you reach a five-kill streak. Once you reach five kills it will reset your points back to one.
• Secondly; I think Riot Squads and Watch Dogs could be implemented. Probably if you were to achieve at seven-kill streak a notification would pop up on the bottom right. Once you open it you can pick from riot squad (3npcs with riot shields & glocks), and Attack Dogs (npc dogs). Thirdly; twelve-kills streaks could award players with torrents. I've seen Tim working on torrents myself; so that project shouldn't be to hard.
• Basically, what I'm trying to get at is; its not gangs who need to be revamped, but the style of raiding. Raiding has now become a act of laming, placing p4s in entrances. These features will promote fun rewards for raiders. These assets will make gang members look forward to when raiding.

Oh god do this please. Merc & I would get retarded amounts of points.

Just kidding ofc, the kill streaks are already pretty decent incentives, leading up to those supply drops that can actually give players tangible rewards. (crates could use a updating, they've been the same since I made them)

I never liked the NPCs on Era. Using projectiles vs Melee NPCs is just dumb (lol kiting Halloween event for 30 minutes). And projectile NPCs aren't well made and can easily be trapped/glitched/flakked/dodged. I don't see how this could work but I like the idea, especially using that turret concept we brainstormed about awhile back.

The one constant through every gang system though has been 'Raiding', or the practice of PKing inside a gang base in a team fashion. I'm not 100% on how you'd modify this to suddenly promote gang activity, you didn't even get into it.

P4s and bombs and **** have been discussed before, and basically the entire administration agreed with me on some glaring issues/exploitable behavior of these things. I reminded Zao/Blue on a few occasions during our usual conversation... but nothing ever changed.
