i'd like to see rare weapons getting recycled instead of deleted or a player logging off and never returning with them.

like instead of a rare weapon getting deleted, on a account thats on the verg of reset, take the weapon and put it in a shop at the price that it was when it was first released in shops. i know auction house is supposed to be there, but usualy its whoevers the richest gets it first not everyone has a chance of getting it. if a player is found to never return, take the gun off him and do the same. and refund him (in case he does log back on)

thank you.

I really hope New Era will have every gun in every shop, because like swift said, it will make an maximum price. Just what we need to fix the economy!

Era will go high!

I also want to add that there should be more then 1 way in earning weapons.

There could be a smith or some place in the sewers where you can create a certain gun. You have to gather all the supplies (which after the reset cost alot more then normal) and you just make it. Then you get it, with out having to buy it, which is why the supplies cost more.

Or, say the job added is some kind of Mafia/Hitman work or anything along those lines, maybe as you work your way up through the missions/ranks with this Mob you can earn a weapon from a certain mission.

Yes that would been really nice.

I guess my initial request was denied, very well... :[

Well, all these ideas are all fine and dandy, but mainly redudant.
What I want to see is PKing being more "mandatory" in a way, as well as structured so that to escape death becomes more of a chore than to face it.

Mainly: You are not able to use a healing item in any No-PK Zone but the hospital.

There's many other things that I doubt you'd get around to and would rather you didn't and hurry up with this reset.

Doing this will keep every item at a controlled price, thus solving the economy problem

this is pretty much what I wanted to do.

but make sure you balance the guns right. the key to this whole idea is balanced guns. if every player has access to a wide variety of guns, and there's a supreme gun that is better than the rest, guess which players are going to buy and have unlimited access to? yeah.. make guns more of a preference. not something that players have because it dominates everything else.

I hate the idea of npcs dropping guns, this is era not zod.

CharlieM · #24 10-19-2009, 04:43 AM

If guns were truly balanced you could still have rarity, because it would be based on preference not how good the gun is. But honestly I'd like to see some urban area with lots of nooks and crannies that would be completely pk zone except for maybe 1-2 hospitals.

DustyPorViva · #25 10-19-2009, 04:45 AM

More balanced PK. More newbie support, less laming... so on and so forth.

The hospital will be placed at unstick me, so the exit will lead out to a no-PK zone.

Less lag, it seems that every computer i play era on will constantly lag on the gmap.
It just randomly freezes sometime's, don't know why or how to stop it.

All of the primary systems have been (or will be) rescripted and are MUCH more efficient. We will also try to reduce the number of NPCs scattered around the gmap, and rid ourselves of laggy gani scripts.

I'm not exactly sure what causes the lag. I think it has mostly to do with the huge number of NPCs on the GMAP.

I don't experience (and never have experienced) any lag on Era's GMAP, even when using low-end systems.
