Hey guys, I am back! Though I still don't like the game much, but I miss the community too much, so I returned!
@Chickenpotpie The body will be done around November, sorry busy schedule.
This game has potential due to how unique it is when compared to other games. No wonder it is so popular. However, it has gone downhill. If we can make the game better, the game will be more attractive to new players. I have decided on what changes I would like to see, but feel free to contribute. This is just a discussion thread.
Gun Changes
With enough skill, all guns are equal in how good they are. However, that is not always the case. I feel like the Starter Handgun and the Handgun deserves a small change, as they are not very popular. If they have no freeze while firing, then they can be used as mobile but weak guns. The Starter Shotgun, I feel, should have its bullets deal 2 damage instead of 1, as it's stats make it bad for close range combat if the damage per bullet is 1. These suggested changes I am not actually expected to be taken seriously, but I just want to get it out there.
The Economy
People have been complaining about Era's economy. I know that reducing the prices would make the economy collapse and people would riot, but why not try improving in game jobs? The prices stay the same, more houses get decorated, and people who have payed for the BAR won't riot since they used it early. I am not against selling gralats, but I am against taking the fun out of earning money and making guns really expensive. A debate about the economy is needed.
The Toxic Community
Astros and the other less visited parts of Era are known for people being extremely toxic and racist. I am not exactly sure what we can do about this, but giving staff more power or hiring more to relieve pressure is one of my ideas. I will let you guys think about it, cause I don't know what to do about this issue.
The Lag
If the server will never be upgraded, then it will forever be known as the only the game that lag is everywhere. I understand when countryside is released the lag may lessen, but who knows when it will come back? If lag is low, then we wouldn't have people complaining about bullet eating and PKing would be more fun. If people won't camp in protected areas and spam bullets, then more skilled PKers would rise and reduce the lag since the amount of bullets sent out by the campers is absurd. If only protected areas won't protect recent PKers so that they won't run and heal and spam would reduce the lag a lot. I remember the PK and Protected area change was suggested by another guy, but I can't find the thread.
Please discuss how we can make Era a better game. This game has potential, but it has been abused.
Edit: I have decided to leave the Flamethrower and the Minigun out of this debate.
Edit: I am not saying the staff should stay in one place. I am saying they could be given more power or hire more staff members to relieve the pressure. That is what I meant.
