2016 Improvements

[DonJason]

The experience playing on iPad pro in my opinion is just great. How the game feels and looks is just awesome. However, the joystick for movement and shooting are hard to reach. Also the squares to input your weapons are as well impossible to reach unless you have extra large fingers ( I'm 21 by the way and I don't think my fingers will get any larger lmao). iPad Pro users would appreciate to set the joysticks closer to the screen that would make the gameplay more comfortable and less awkward. The only option that we have is to make the controls larger and that makes it even worse lol. It would be nice to have an option that allows you to place your controls wherever you wish to put them and set your size preference not only for iPad pro but for any device.

Straight forward.

Improving events: make ECs only obtainable by winning events and create another currency for fb uploads, achievements, player rewards, and christmas present gifts and make a seperate shop for such currency.

Improving pk: nerf every gun -1 damage because it's getting out of hand. Players die within half a second when entering in a base if there are 3 bar users spamming the doors.

Improving basing: make an option to choose between either 50 members gang and have a maximum of 4 allies or a gang with 25 members with 5 possible allies.

Another thing about basing we all see is the same gangs owning the same bases every day with no chance for new gangs to be built therefore in my opinion we need 3-5 new bases asap.

Amen.

Also, PR's should be assigned to check every so often on areas that are notorious for rule breakers. (i.e. Spar complex, start, events house (mainly profanity goes on there and the staff does nothing about it), Astro's, bases, etc.)

Connection Improvements

New map areas? For example Westridge or Southridge. A larger protected beach area also.

Countryside.

By the way, this is not about 'new implementations' thread, post something that can make era better not by adding things.

Thank you guys for all the suggestions, I will read over these!

This could actually be an improvement for 2016, Storm. Don't create threads and then come back to view it 4 months later. I mean, there's more of course, but this would really be great.

I'm referring to all your attempts on different threads you've made in the design section as well. Maybe responding to players in-game too? Some people in-game actually have some pretty good ideas and from what I've heard/witnessed, you won't respond to the simplest of questions or someone's proposal unless they're someone who was impressed you in one of your little contests and they want their prize. Sure you're a Dev and all but answering one message a month isn't going to kill you.

Not trying to come off rude, but it's getting old.

I'm sorry to hear you think this of me. I'm usually busy in game trying to work on updates/items or I'm afk working on graphics for items. I'm sorry I'm not able to answer everyone's questions or respond right away.

When it comes down to it though, would you prefer me answering a billion questions or working to improve era and release content? Last year was quite rough I'll admit and a lot of projects got pushed back, including quests, contests etc. Which is why I made this thread so I can see what you all would like improved this year. I did not forget about this thread nor would I ignore it.

It's good to hear. Hope you keep your word, Storm.

50 members? Lol new gangs already have enough trouble as it is with the new lethal changes. 50 members in a gang would just destroy the slim chance the newer gangs have of coming up. Most big gangs have subs. All those subs are usually filled with pretty decent people. A few new players here and there though. Anyway, if they were to combine, the base couldn't be contested unless another big gang steps in. Let's be real. No one wants to join a gang with 0 hours unless it's like your friend or something. So I am using small in the context that the gang was just created by a random person who wants to get big.

Just my 2 cents.

Make more cool melees and I guess make head uploads 15k or extra gang base
The second one is stupid

I think Ren's idea deserves a little more attention. Also, if that actually gets fixed, then the 1HP glitch should be too at some point.

Here are a list of reasons why it should be disabled and the 1HP glitch should be fixed:

-People boost in the arena now. (House healing)

-The soda machines shouldn't be a way to escape from another player.

-Some people come to the arena frequently and also have paid for unlimited healing elixers just to find out that they respawn with 0-1HP while those who did not, respawn with 25HP

What I think should be implemented/reimplemented:

-IMO, gassing and explosives were fun to use in the arena.

-There should be a player count in the arena, when it reaches a low amount of players, the individuals left SHOULD be able to use /leave to return to the lobby. Edit: there should be a 15-30 second timer before warping players back to the lobby to prevent running, if the player moves the countdown stops and you will not be warped.

-A free walking spectator mode, if enabled, your player can turn translucent or "ghostly" to watch other players battle without getting hit. (Noclip with boundaries)

-Misc. Whenever you spawn, no more than 3 players can hurt you to prevent teaming.. Though the only issue is: if one dies, there will have to be another player put on that "roster".
