Repeated healing should have some punishment

[Meph]

I agree with Meph 100%. In addition to today's flawed raiding system, there was a time when only the most skillful players possessed rare weapons like Mp5s. Obtaining those weapons was capable through winning major events by demonstrating your superior ability to spar, raid, and pk. They started from the bottom and practiced for hours, days, weeks, months, and in some cases even years to perfect their style of fighting.

Players like Wil, Corey, Smasher, Arc, Raven, Meph/Diaz, just to name a few that I can think of off the top of my head, are capable of pking with ANY gun you give them, because they are skilled THROUGH PRACTICE. Those that didn't want to put in their time to practice chose to obtain those weapons by mining and picking flowers, thus buying them off the players who won them. Doing that kind of labor to afford rare guns would take months upon months. What I'm trying to say is that nothing came easy, you had to work hard in order to get the things you wanted much like in real life.

The generation of Era players today doesn't have to do any of that, all they focus on is obtaining an Mp5 through betflipping and once they have the gun they just hold D and wall. Take away the Mp5/Souizen and they don't now how to defend themselves. Same goes for raiding, logic and tactics don't exist anymore, it's nothing more than a brainless pack of kids without any leadership charging into a base without a plan. The guys with the biggest guns win by laming and eating food.

The gang admin needs to make a wise decision and bring back the original bases, 4 gangs, and remove food/elixers/armor inside gang bases. Perhaps that could influence the kids of today to start using their brains.

This is the iEra Forums pal
You should get on iEra, man; it's more happening than PC Era nowadays.

Dang era pc is interesting might check it out sometime, and anyways, there should be mo punishment for healing. People who have bar or pbp while streaking just run around spraying and when they are low they run and heal nothing wrong with that?

PC Era has been getting progressively worse since 2006. Nowadays their guns have hardly any freeze to them, meaning there is absolutely no repercussions for spamming since your movement isn't impeded when you fire a shot. This makes it very easy for people to pick up PKing, therefore not challenging at all.

While I think iEra's guns need about 0.04 freeze added to each of them, its currently much more challenging than PC Era. For a first-generation PC native to say this, it speaks volumes. Actually, if they released iEra to the PC clients, or made a standalone client specifically for the iOS servers, I'd wager more PC Era players would migrate here.


On the matter of healing items, I believe there should be a timer added. People are so reliant on healing items that I they undervalue the worth if good old fashioned PKing. After all, who needs skill when you can run around slamming hot dogs in your mouth at your leisure? Its kills gameplay. One healing item every 10 seconds would be reasonable.

Finish em quickly and don't let em escape, problem solved.

I guess your just the greatest pker on graal. I'm sorry to have wasted your time with this thread.

I never said I was the best but it's the easiest thing to do, rather then let them escape.

[Noroup]

I agree. This should be done with streakers too who run and heal at low health. Hah! Puzzies! I usually just shoot streakers and don't let them kill people. I make sure they are healing 24/7

How bout you have to wait 10 seconds to began healing.

Lmao i love that idea, just instead of dying when you eat too much, you become slower, little bit faster than when poisoned by gas bombs, fatness lasts for 5mins after eating more than 15 food within 5minutes, and to get rid of it you need to go to the era gym and run on the treadmill for 30 secounds

LOL GREAT IDEA

PC Era's food system is great.

You eat a bubblegum item, and your HP goes up by 1/10. (This is a 5hp bonus, off the bat.) Then, you regain 5hp every 5 seconds, but you can't eat any more food. A little cooldown bar appears, it's about a minute between heals. You can't heal more than once, and if you use your heal, you're almost goated into fighting because you can't run, either. If you've shot someone, or been shot, you get a red "PK" sign over your head. If you go into a no-PK zone, you must stand there, still, for 5 seconds. If you run, the counter starts over. If someone else is ALSO in PK mode, (triggered by shooting a player outside of a no-PK), they can kill you while your timer cools down and you go back to no-PK mode. This is mostly to deter streakers from running and healing, forcing them to skill-up. Era iPhone isn't entirely skill-based, it's whoever executes their running/healing strategy the best.

This system, although confusing at first, could PROBABLY save Era iPhone's Streak and PK healers.

So basically
Eat too much food = get fat and die

Oh god.
