Yes, newbie support is what era really needs if we want players!

This is such a Bounty Hunter-centered idea it's ridiculous.

Here's one idea that I think is pretty neat:

Expand the gmap: Separate the gmap into 5 parts (north, south, east, west, and central) and each sector has a unique purpose.

1. North Era: This is the industrialized sector of Era.
  • Shops: This sector contains unique gun shops only found in this sector
  • Jobs: Salvage (metal found in scrapyards) can be used to make parts for guns or sold for profit
  • PK Area(s): Box Factory
  • Gang: Blazian Bandits in an abandoned warehouse

2. West Era: This is the suburban sector of Era.
  • Shops: This sector contains player houses, the Hospital, the bank, and the mall
  • Jobs: Mailing and trash picking
  • PK Area(s): Regency Theater
  • Gang: Tachi in a mansion (like it is now)

3. East Era: This is the rundown ("ghetto") sector of Era.
  • Shops: This sector contains underground, Black Market shops
  • Jobs: Maybe a daily quest where you have to rob a bank or a store
  • PK Area(s): All of the sector
  • Gang: Los Carteles in a rundown apartment complex

4. North Era: This is the mining sector of Era.
  • Shops: This sector contains a mineral shop and raw materials to be used in the Industrial sector
  • Jobs: Mining
  • PK Area(s): Abandoned mine shaft
  • Gang: Black Holst in a diner or something

5. Central Era: The OSL, the only No-PK zone

This separation of the map makes everything less cramped and centralized towards the OSL. Perhaps there could be special quests in each sector or events. Also, this enlargement of the map allows for public transportation (trains, buses, etc.)

We need a smaller, more PK-focused GMAP, not one like Angel was planning where everyone will be spread out (much like your plan).

I personally love this idea. I suck at pk'ing on Era, so it's really upsetting to play around on the beach digging, get attacked, and then manage to not only chase the guy down, but grind them down to 10 hp, only to have them duck into a shop, heal, kill me, and "ownt noob ez lol". I'm sure other newer players are turned off by this too.

I could see disabling healing items to a certain extent, as well as limiting the number of no PK zones as well. I'll keep this in mind.

NO! Limiting the number of pk zones is a foolish idea, Theres plenty of no pk zones already. Plus if watch your gmap you can see when someones coming down there, just go away for awhile or find a new spot.

You said you were looking at limiting PK Zones.

His point is
Do not limit PK Zones, there are already too many no-pk zones where people can hide.

Now to break it down.

PK Zone=Where to shoot, aka players take damage.

No-PK Zone= No damage done to player if you shoot them.

However the sentence structure you used would link the statement you made to limiting the pk zones that healing items can be used in.

Here's what I want if era is divided into 5 pieces.

South Era
Got a beach and must remind us about Miami, with alot of lights, nightclubs, bars and other Special structures.

West Era
West Era should be just chaos, and have alot of dead bodies, blown up cars and alot of "Badass" content spread around. West Era does also sell alot of weapons.

East Era
East Era should be a city like place, with many houses (Playerhouses) and shops that sells funiture and other great things for houses.

North Era
North Era should be a huge mountain side, with a huge mine and many jobs to do there (Hard work.)

Central Era
Central Era should be a beautiful place, with parks and Mall (Of course.) There should also be gas stations and cafe's and shops, that sells alot of "Fun items" like on GreenRoads Cafe. They should also sell Cigarette packs.

Event Items
Many events items are just odd, you should be able to buy bubblegum and cigarette packs in gas stations and shops. Also event items should be VERY hard to get, alot of time must be used to get these items.

I think that was it.

I don't play Era much, but this seems fun and would attract me to Era.

Best idea so far. I like the whole "dead bodies, bar, lights ect.
