Basing System Rework

[BiTzSam]

Gangs can already upload custom bodies/ earn hats. There isn't much cosmetics left to add. Gangs can also upload shields that are basically "banners" as you said.

It won't be something you can do on a shield. The point i'm trying to make is that whatever they end up being, they will not be significant enough that a gang with 10k+ hours would rather make a new gang and go for the items, rather than stay in the gang fort and aim for the gang hour rewards (gunskin/ melees etc) as their main priority, with the gang point rewards being on the side.
They are more orientated towards new gangs, the only reason they're included in the 10k hour base aswell is because if it wasn't the 10k+ gangs would complain they couldn't earn them without making a new gang

Quitting era once this system release. This is too much bull****. Farming rewards will be the only result at the end.

Yea making 2 gangs to farm 10k hours so you can show off to your friends that you have 2 different looking gang hats will be everybody's main goal

Recruiting also will be a problem for fortress. As usual, random people walk into base and ask for recruiting. When fortress released, the players won't be able to walk in base to ask for rec as only players with above 10k hours can enter a base. Moreover, 3 flags in a base, when a single flag is captured, will all the gangs in a 3-flags base respawned?

When would this system be released exactly?

Everybody will simply farm rewards, it’s pointless

Sorry but this 'farm rewards' logic is so broken.

People literally farm rewards right now, the only difference this change makes is you won't be able to farm the important reworks ie- 10k+ rewards and you'll actually have to work for them.

Stop going along with the crowd and actually think. We've already pointed out in this thread that the top gangs are currently holding base with 0 attackers, often 2 bases at a time even.

Nothing is stopping obsidian from right now making a new gang, basing on that instead to get a 2nd gun skin and gang melee, and it'd be easier for them to do it currently due to their alliances than for new gangs after this change, even just reaching 10k

so PLEASE differentiate for me how this change makes farming any more common/ impactful as it currently can.


If gang hats are so special (only rewards this change will give you up to 10k) why don't you see gangs RIGHT NOW making new tags after 2k to keep farming the gang hat reward. It makes 0 sense for you to think this will become even more of a problem after the change, when not only is there LESS incentive to do do, it'd also be even harder to earn hours

Yo if you guys aren't a fan of this new system, just come base on West, I'm assuming it will have the same basing system as to soon be Old Era basing system for a long time.

Bitzsam I do like the idea, but I am totally trying to steal the Era community.

I suggest you guys stop trying to debate with this guy, he asks for advice in every single one of his threads then when he is proven wrong in any area he will simply say the same exact things just rephrased until you get tired of replying. Just let him do his thing and ruin basing as he already did to all the guns.

Didn't ask for advice, said i'd be answering questions which I have been. You just choose to ignore the answers I give you, and parrot what other people are saying despite the fact I have said multiple times why what you keep repeating is not the case

This idea isn't something I just came up with out of nowhere and posted. I discussed it with other staff in our group chats for several days in pretty lengthy discussions where we went over possible issues and made sure of the solutions to them.
Everything against this idea that has been said in this thread, is something that we ourselves have discussed and catered a solution for before this thread was made. This thread isn't just based on my opinion it's of multiple staff including myself, some who don't base, some who are new to basing, and some who are part of large gangs.

What was posted on this thread was the final summary we came to after our discussion, which included things such as many of the issues posted in this thread. Just a lot of the opinions here are based on one aspect, and not looking at the bigger picture.

Same with the gun nerfs where players would just talk about the bar/ gm4 nerf, and not the bigger picture of game balance with those guns being brought down, making cheaper guns more viable

[Duke]

Answer me this one question and I may agree with you. Why do you feel as if you are deserving to change all the competitive aspects of era to your will although you have never been viable in any given area. You have no experience in anything besides forum posting.

Duke tryna give you ideas to make the game better cause he actually plays the game and knows how basing goes, you’re trying to fix it but you don’t base so you dont know what parts actually need to be fixed... The Base Fortress thing is a cool idea but gangs with less then 10k hours shouldn’t be able to earn gang points because then they would be able to earn more then higher hour gangs which doesn’t make any sense. Stop being so hard headed and listen to the people that actually base, cause with what your trying to do is gonna mess up basing even more then it already is.
