Sheriffs

With my alt, I was able to successfully 1v4 a group of sheriffs, until one of them handcuffed me.

I also notice you don't complain when it was a 5v2 bandit matchup, which results in us dying over and over again.
Also, in comparison to bandit guns, sheriff guns are actually quite pitiful. It takes four well placed coach shots to kill a player in Indian Amor, and 5+ Repeater shots to knock out one in full diamond. With the sheriff guns pitiful BPM, you cannot be killed if you drink Morphine, which supplies you Regen II for a short period of time.

Sheriffs are not OP as many player believe, but we can achieve a compromise.

 

It's supposed to be (very) hard to do anything illegal >.>

I understand what you're saying, but before Wild West got popular there were about 30 players and 1-5 Sheriffs. I never had real issues playing as a drug processor (when assaulted by Sheriffs), or seem too powerful as a Sheriff.
Nowdays when I visit my bud @Pyrotheum I see 40-50 players and only 4-5 Sheriffs. Atleast in my timezone.

Also the ones frowning on logging off are bullies bumping into others' gameplay just because they play differently. In reality they are getting frowned on.

P.S. Take my opionions lightly since I stopped playing WW before the latest reset.

 

Erm, a few of us were promoted, so at peak times, it's like 40 players and 7-10 sheriffs. :3

 

I'm not sure about the sheriff shotgun, but your rifle is definitely strong enough, I was in full diamond last night fighting @randomcitizen1 and I was at 7 hearts, one shot later from a rifle and I was dead.
but yeah, maybe shotgun needs buff?

 

The sheriff mechanic overall seems okay. The only issue for me is the number of sheriffs and how quickly they are able to get back to the scene of their death. There should be a 90-second delay before sheriffs respawn (in comparison to the bandit's 10 second delay) to give players the extra time to have a chance of escaping. I believe that players who have successfully killed a sheriff or several sheriffs should be rewarded with the possibility of escape.

There simply needs to be a maximum sheriff limit. One sheriff per 10 players. If too many sheriffs get on, they would be told to get on to an alt (which isn't a sheriff) to continue playing.

ALSO there, as @Verlyn suggested, be a no-sheriff booster available for purchase. It would boost Brawl revenue. Some of the most fun Wild West moments are when it's all bandits and no sheriffs. People would also be inclined to purchase the no sheriff booster after purchasing the processing boost.

And as some WW player suggested (I think @RMST1), killing a sheriff is somewhat of an achievement and should result in getting 1k immediately deposited into your wallet (in addition to the sheriff's head, which would be worth no monetary value, available for pick up on the sheriff's body).

 

You can't simply remove someone's ability to play the game with a booster, and I have said this before. Although I believe a booster like this would make money, it is just very unfair to sheriffs.

 

Maybe a no-PvP booster?

 

1. Yes, a 90 seconds cooldown upon respawning would be perfect. I believe the sheriff should be teleported to the sheriff headquarters, but the sheriff wouldn't be able to teleport with the NPC.
2 - 3. No. Sheriffs shouldnt be limited to play. We cant just buy an alternate account because the server disallows us to play.
4. Yes.

 

Sheriffs dont have the 300k horse when they get the rank.

 

What you forget to mention two things. One, is that most of the time you are not in a horse race with a sheriff. What happens most of the time is people run on their horse, but even if they have the speed horse we can shoot the horse, essentially making it useless to race horses anyway. But there is also the scenario (Which never happens, because some people don't even think of this as an option) You kill a sheriff, then run. The sheriff than has to respawn, go to the town, and wait for their horse. In some cases it's minutes before we can get back to the scene. If your run even with the 2,500g runner horse there is no way that we can catch you. People however refuse to believe that this is an option and think that you can only kill them.

And second, there is a reason why you can't buy cheap horses faster than sheriffs. Brawl needs to make money, and sheriffs present a good way to make money. So, you can't buy (Before the EULA) a premium horse with gold, so people where caught by sheriffs. So, because of that they bought the premium horses. There is a reason behind the horse speeds. Now you can even buy the horses, so yeah. You also have a more steady income than sheriffs (Not to start a debate here about the income) so you can earn money faster.

There is also mining, it's safe and you'll never meet a sheriff there.

 

PvP is all I want, if someone bought a no PvP I would just go play mc-war xD

I believe the sheriff horse is .5 slower than the fastest horse, but still that is very fast and many sheriffs already have the 300k "speedy" horse. Also, from all rebel bases (where 95% of fight occur) it takes a long to for a horse to arrive when called. At the Wild grass base, I know from much experience, it takes 90 seconds to call a horse, but this is something you cannot do because the sheriffs are able to get back to the base very fast.

unless we are rogue- which we are, for 5 minutes when killing a sheriff

a lot of sheriff v. player fights have been going down lately

very few players actually mine, aside from sheriffs because the rate at which you get money is very slow, (unless you have a rank with perks, because it speeds up processing time.) hopefully the new system of chopping wood for money will be finished up soon, and offer players another safe, legal way of making money.

 

What I am thinking about the "No-PvP Booster" is the idea of you being able to process without sheriff intervention and not being able to kill each other. Sheriffs would not be allowed to enter illegal locations with this booster active. Should you combine this with a processing booster, you could easily make ~200k per account.

18kss has already approved of this idea, though it would cost a little extra.

 

Even with a 3-hour processing booster of non-stop processing wildgrass, we could not make 200k per account

But yeah I guess if 18kss approves the idea of this then it could work out, I wouldn't mind some peaceful processing I guess

 

Sorry, my post was a bit confusing. I meant to say that players like TwisterPvP could make 200k during these processor boosts, as he plays concurrently on his main and two alts.

 

Ahh ok yeah
