rewards for sparring

bloodykiller · #1 11-12-2011, 09:13 PM

it has come to my attention (now) that there r 70ppl online and no1 wants to spar..it's 10mins im massing and toall:ing...it's not just a today thing it's basically that all new players (who've started playing in the last 2-3 years) never spar. this is prolly y the new players never end up being any good..sparring gets ur basics right and after a while u spar it becomes rly easy..i'm way better at raiding than i am at sparring but the fact ive done 8.8k spars in small and 9k spars in ranked, plus all the spars before the reset helps me be the best raider, even if at sparring im only 1 of the many good sparrers

why do ppl not spar anymore?
imo it's cuz sparring gives no rewards..ranked spar and small spar stats are useless, you don't even get money from kills in the spar complex and if ur sparring the same person multiple times or the same 2-3ppl, only the 1st time u kill them will count towards ur hp levels
this is y i think sparring should be rewarded in some way, like a spar shop to spend points on?

Can't understand because of all the abbreviations.

I like the concept of adding spar rewards, but PLEASE GOD don't try to add ANOTHER type of point shop..

oh i forgot to say u also have to pay for revives to spar...for me it isnt a problem but for many it is to spend 10$ every time they die+ammo

You don't need the revives to spar.

Also how would you stop people from boosting? Have spar mods like on UN?

That doesn't mean you "need" them, that just means they help with convenience.

Having difficulty reading poorly written posts with non-existent grammar and few actual words?

I remember when you rarely got rewards for anything.. there was few events hosted and gangs didn't even have points.

Now people want compensation for everything; Pay me to kill people, Points/Rewards for me to raid, Pay me to spar, Give me rewards for helping my gang, etc. Pretty soon you'll have to give them mp5s just to login. (Already sorta happened yakno that whole dealio.)

how do u guys not realise that era has such a low playercount since earning money is boring (i.e. mining, digging...). ppl play era to pk, and if u were to get money by pking as efficiently as other jobs way more ppl would actually raid or spar instead of idle at unstick and play chance..there would be raids all day if pking were to be the most effective way of making money

The way you put it makes me wonder you even want money to be a part of the game at all.

Perhaps Era should just switch to a CoD model of gameplay and quit ****ing with the whole "economy" part of the game.
