New 6k hours reward

Since there are no remaining subway stations for 6k hours myself and many others were thinking there could be a new reward for the 6k milestone. Since there are already many hat rewards and level rewards are difficult to get completed (as they can take up to 1/2 a year...) maybe the new reward could be something such as a custom melee. This could be any class of melee (sword, dagger, etc.) with hunter knife statistics (9 damage, speed, hit timer) and possibly a special gani (putting on back or spinning move or whatever) and be given to X amount of members 6-10 would be reasonable. If you have a better reward idea than go ahead and suggest it.

1000 members and allies and unlimited nukes and boombooms

Ok banshee you can leave already. Good idea spread the word

If it is a melee or something I think it is only fair that current gangs over 6k get it too. My reasoning behind this is that a melee is very practical and useful whereas a subway station that has no benefits for the gang and is never used is a bit of a downgrade from that.

i think you could get a free area of graal

I can agree a new reward is reasonable. So long as it is balanced.

Your own costum car/skateboard is cool

basers dont use those...

Lol^

And I just wanted to point out there is still 3 subway stations that are not being owned by any gang so could any staff explain based on what did you guys decide that there are "2 subways remain"? Btw update the guide the 2 subways were taken by iFreeze and Grims

-A custom freebie, basically it has no benefit to the gang itself but spreads a legacy to other players.

- A optional 6k reward with two choices
1.A shop with whatever the gang wants to sell and say 15-20 members(must be chosen by leader/ must be in gang to receive) get a certain percentage of the sales split equally between the 15-20 members each month.
^ now that I think about it this is like a 20k hr rewards..
2.A hangout hut, basically a two room hideout

- A VIP item dedicated to the gang

- A sewer advantage place. It'd be a set of tunnels connecting to each base that takes half the time to get to verses main land. Basically only gang members with 6k hrs+ would have access to this.

Ebizou Base got like 20K or something, they never got a shop. :P so the shop thing is an option still.

We would be happy with a shop.

I think it's a good idea, Alan, but, instead, the melee should have heal staff stats, in my opinion; a customized kiwi blade/hunter knife wouldn't be that useful as some chosen players might already have something better, in stats, than a kiwi/hunter, and thus, they wouldn't be able to use it. On the other hand, a heal staff is a very useful melee which, sometimes, even light saber owners use, no? Consequently, the chosen members WILL use the rewarded melee and have the chance to show it, instead of just dumping it in the inventory. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

Light sabers basically have the same stats as a hunter/kiwi other than the blocking feature which no one even uses so odds are you'd opt to use your custom melee over the saber anyways. The only melee you could say is better statistically I guess is the Champlain which very few basers have so I think the hunter stats are still appropriate.

I think the shop idea is really cool. Or have a gun skin for that gang. I know Ebizou Base had it for BAR, but it might be cool if other gangs could make a skin for 3-4 guns that only the gang could use.

No to the gun skin. It is already the 15k prize so no need to have it twice.

I think that a new 6k reward is called for. Of course, lord Greg, gangs that have already reached 6k hours deserve the new reward as well, even if the gang already has a subway station.

Alan, I like the melee idea. I know you guys (iFreeze) already have a custom heal staff from winning the Halloween zombie survival competition, but something along the lines of a heal staff seems a reasonable reward for 6k hours to me.

I personally think that 6 hats for getting 2k hours is far too little, considering most gangs that reach 2k have more than 6 loyal, hard working, deserving members. It's unfair. So, for 6k hours, I think 10 people at the least would be reasonable. Some may disagree, but I think that makes sense.

I know what you mean about the hats but isn't the 10k prize getting a new hat for 5 members and 10 members get the old one? Also at 4k the hideout means everyone can get the hat anyway.

10k hours is a lot more than 2k hours. And 2k hour alone is a lot.

That's true and I think 10k is such an achievement that it should be rewarded with something other than hats. Putting the hats to 6k and putting something else at 10k could be better.

I think a hat reward along with something else would be good!

The idea of a special melee that only 6k hours can get isn't balanced. Maybe a hat or a sign saying how many hours but not a weapon because that would be unfair to the other players

ONLY 6k hours, lol? 6k hours isn't easy to get, and not many gangs have been lucky enough to reach it. The gang that have, and the gangs that will reach 6k deserve a reward like that.

Nobody wants more hats. You get hats at 2k, 4k, and 10k I believe.

What would you want? Some huge shark mount that shoots laser beams from its eyes and has mini guns strapped to its fins that can be used as an npc to help base with?
Making a gang more powerful by giving them weapons that help with basing is a stupid idea. It hinders every other gang attempting to reach their milestone.

Explain to me how this would make the gang more powerful. It's a melee with stats which are pretty common... It's only for a limited amount of people in the gang and the odds are those who are awarded it would already have a melee with these statistics. The only reason that I pitched the idea in this way instead of a melee skin was so there would be more customizability and uniqueness.

Actually that's really cool. I don't think that the melees are meant to be better than say, katana. They're probably skins of gold knives or some other melee that have really basic stats.

I d k

I don't think that's what I said? Honestly, a heal staff is so easy to get. The melee itself isn't hard to get, and many people have them. It would be cool though, for a 6k hour reward, to get a customized one.

It is extremely hard for any new gang at this point to compete with the power house gangs that are constantly basing era right now. And the average player isn't going to care much about a simple hat. When you add a new one off weapon that only the gangs can get that makes it unfair for every other small gang who is trying. It only makes the big gangs more powerful.
I've seen this before on PC Era where Tachi got katanas and then everyone joined that gang just to get the weapon.

Hats are just fine as a milestone for gangs. Or better idea, they could let someone customize a body for the gang and then make it sellable in the game for the gang members to buy.
Personally I hate the idea of giving a weapon to a gang that is already known for how good they are.

I see what you're saying, but it can go both ways. If players see that there is a cool melee reward at 6k it may make players want to start up there own gang, or join others that aren't necessarily as superior like iFreeze.

A weapon is a milestone as well.... It's just actually useful. If it were to be a heal staff, there are already plenty of those that you can get in the ec shop,yes,but it would be a customized version. If it were based solely off the power of the melee, then there would be no difference. As a weapon, they are technically the same. The only difference is that it represents the accomplishment of getting 6k hours.

It would work like a 2k hat reward where only a limited number of members would recieve the melee. It would in no way make the gang more powerful when almost everyone in game already has a melee with these statistics... You wouldn't be able to join the gang just for the melee you'd probably have to be in it from almost the very beginning to get one depending on how many are given out.

So you are saying that Ebizous bar skin gives them an advantage? Because this will basically be just a reskinned melee that would probably be only given to 5 members. But for the love of god don't make it like the gun skins that people can join the gang get the skin then leave and keep it.

Exactly! It's the same exact thing. There are no advantages to having a basing heal staff to an ec heal staff, except that it's "cool," and shows the accomplishment of reaching 6k.

How about a.. Body? Idk I'm out of ideas. A regular body for the gang that reaches 6K. It's free. I don't know! I just really hate this bickering.

You can already get custom bodies so it wouldn't make a very good reward unfortunately.

That is where our opinions don't agree. I don't like the idea of only a few people getting a weapon (even if the stats suck)
Ebi's BAR Skin is just that, its not an actual weapon so most people look at it and don't care if their bar has that skin or not.
You have to think out of the thousands of people who play iEra only about a dozen people will ever own this weapon and that makes it unfair.

Uhm no? I'm not sure if you know what temps and perms are, but basically, there are really only 10 perms (permanent members; loyal members) that are with a gang through and through. With that being said, that's why there are no basing rewards (except changing a gun skin at 20k), that give the reward to more than like 10 people.

You said that only a dozen people would get the ebi bar, "and that's unfair." No it's not. There can be an unlimited amount of people with the ebi bar. All you have to do is be recruited, and go grab the ebi bar skin, if that's the reason you're joining ebi. On top of that, the ebi skin gives no advantages to the user whatsoever. It's just another skin to show off ebi got 20k basing hours.

That is the whole point of earning rewards, if you think a small gang that hasn't earned the hours should recieve the items for free, then perhaps you should rethink what you are saying? If you personally take a guild and get 6k hours tell me you shouldn't recieve a reward? Yes you can have your opinion, but gang rewards like that don't effect your play at all. We would just kill you with our katanas anyways if you want to be realistic. Or we could just shoot you. Giving us a decorative melee with hunter stats wont impead you attacking with only 4 people anyways I am sorry but that is just a flat truth you with ignorance refuse to believe. If your gang earns those hours you would be able to recieve the item as well. iFreeze wasn't born and made pro in a day. We have based for two plus years and earned our rewards and we started out small when EBIZOU, Obsidian, Grim Gegs and Gets dominated, so we have just as much say on whether a small gang can compete with larger guilds or not. We didn't have pirate zone to run to our Emines starting out, have a no pk timer base to fight in, mass amounts of low freeze weapons, base layouts that allowed rushing. We had each other and grew larger with work and sweat, not physically but you know what I mean.

27 to yes 6 to no I think the community agrees anyways.

I recommend looking up Icemans gang guide, made by a gang leader for those who want to bring success to their young guild.
