Graal is a game focused on pks/guns/basing so I think it would be very justifiable to make pking a viable source of income. Nothing crazy, maybe just a gralat a kill, at least enough to earn vip every month. I think this would make a lot of sense. Prove me otherwise.
winning 1 for death will be a good idea
don't you get body parts from killing people?
Like 1 in 5 lol it should at least be increased in basesQuote:

Well, how about this:
Cops are unable to take money away from other players with the same rank as themselves or under their ally gangs, but if it was a Gangster they killed, then taking money away is muy bien.
Gangsters are able to take money away from anyone, even if they're listed under Gang allies.
If able to take money:
Victim has to be over 25 hours.
Victim has to have over 500 Gs.
The amount being taken is considered by the odds but will always be guaranteed. The more money you have, the more money you'll be taken away. This is where Era Bank can come into play if implemented...
I like the Cop vs Gangster aspect you bring up! However, I don't think taking money from other players would work, because people would abuse that system. I was suggesting the game pays for each kill.Quote:

Let's elaborate in your idea though, S.L.
You said a 1G a kill, correct?
Alright, let's keep it to that.
Now, I can sense a lot of players coming to riot against the low wage, so what do we do?
Well, I have a few ideas to fix this issue.
Ideas:
- Every player who gets a (50 * n) [ n > 0 ] kill streak gets a reward. Let's settle with G(n) = (350 * n) : where n stands for number of streaks [in multiples of 50].
- A weekly / monthly event where there are ranks and the top three get a prize. This is a tricky one to implement but it can be a rank of 100. To have a fair bracket then it will all vary based on kills. (WIP)
- Everyday there is a goal (or goals?) and that is to kill someone from your opposite align tag (The more the merrier? 1 = 10G, 50 = 250G, etc.). That doesn't mean killing 49 of the opposite = 49G.
- The drop of body parts will vary based on the weapons used to kill. If killed by gun, then it's a normal probability, but using a knife, much higher.
How about the problems?
Well, to prevent abuse of this system, then you cannot kill the same person twice. Won't count. Also, same IP kill will not be rewarded. It's not much, but it's something.
Elaborate if you'd like.
Besides the body parts, you get money from basing which you can make the argument that is not directly from killing players, but basing does involve killing so i will include it. On top of that you also get money from forting and a very substancial amount from pk arenas (im talking $3,500 for the first place). You can also include bot events such as free-for-all and crab wrestle where you can get up to $1000 for winning those events. If you indulge in all the aspects of PKing i will debate with you that you’re getting overpaid.
Really like the systems that your are bringing up, however, I know anything extra that takes staff longer than like 5 mins to incorporate they probably won't look twice at. And with a system there is so many factors to consider to really see if it is totally "fair." I think 1G a kill is a really simple, easy, and fair way. Of course someone can create a 2nd account and spam kill themselves and make like 3 gralats a minute, which is a waste of time compared to other jobs, or pking masses. If staff think that players would abuse it too much, they could add the similar code that now prevents kills from counting after killing the same person multiple times.Quote:

Good points, but again 1G a kill really isn't that much. Just enough to purchase vip every month. Pk arena and forting do earn money, but I would still like to see a basic incorporation that rewards people for general kills. Right now there aren't a lot of people pking anymore, because it is boring and there is no motivation. Basing isn't much better.Quote:

PK Arenas only work when hosted by Admins, correct? I can't say too much about it because I haven't done that.
So sure if one person is in a good gang that bases non-stop, has amazing weapons, and is good in events, then yes, PK is overpaid.
Otherwise, it's not.

If iMagic thinks doing so will be too much, then there can be limitations added (which won't be fair, but I'll spit):Quote:

Pk arenas are automated in the same way forts are. I’ve actually used pk arenas to get VIP every month for quiet a long time now. I even made a video sharing my “secret” for having VIP every month with minimum effort since you only need to do 3-4 pk arenas a month to have enough for VIPQuote:

About 3 PK arenas happen within 24 hours. You can make 100k+ gralats a month from pk arenas alone. A lot of top players have been doing this like Knuckles from iFreeze. And it is an insanely profitable activity to do. Thats what i mean by overpaid.
Even if your gang is not holding the base you’re still getting bodyparts from the people you’re killing. And on top of that if the gang you’re in is holding the base then you also have that income, which is not a lot but it all stacks up. If you grind the whole pk scene you will know exactly what im referring to. I have over 250k kills and i back then when i was getting 2k-3k kills a day i was getting enough gralats from basing, forting and pking that i didnt need to waste money on the game.
