Wild West Big Update [Achievements] [Skills] [Gambling] [Balance Changes]

Howdy, cowboys!

It's been quite a while since we pushed a Wild West update, and today is the day that we finally release our next iteration of Wild West.

Balance Changes

• T-G damage changed to 17 (from 19)
• T-G fire rate changed to 20 ticks (from 22)
• Repeater damage changed to 17 (from 27)
• Model # of pellets changed to 4 (from 5)
• Fire rate of model changed to 17 ticks (from 15)
• Coach Gun # of pellets changed to 4 (from 7)
• Fire rate of coach gun changed to 17 ticks (from 22)
• Diamond Armor damage reduction changed to about 64%

With these changes, this finally enables a fair, even balance of guns/armor between Sheriffs and Bandits. Additionally, anyone with Indian armor+ can no longer be one shot by the T-G, Model, Repeater, or Coach Gun as previously they could. [The Sawed-Off can still OSK them. It's low RoF and clip size balances it's high damage however.]

Economy Changes

• Leather chestplate changed to 500 G (from 1200)
• Leather pants changed to 300 G (from 700)
• Leather boots changed to 100 G (from 300)

• Golden helmet changed to 300 G (from 900)
• Golden chestplate changed to 1200 G (from 3300)
• Golden pants changed to 700 G (from 1900)
• Golden boots changed to 300 G (from 550)

• Diamond helmet changed to 2250 G (from 2900)
• Diamond chestplate changed to 2900 G (from 10000)

• Model changed to 3600 G (from 8000)
• Sawed Off changed to 2000 G (from 5300)
• Mauser changed to 1500 G (from 3100)

• Carcano changed to 1500 G (from 2300)
• Blunderbuss changed to 1000 G (from 3000)
• Volcanic changed to 800 G (from 1500)
• LeMat changed to 300 G (from 1000)

• Emerald changed to 27 G (from 19)
• Diamond changed to 19 G (from 13)
• Gold changed to 13 G (from 9)
• Iron changed to 9 G (from 6)
• Coal changed to 6 G (from 4)

• Kevlar changed to 19200 G (from 7700)
• Sheriff head value raised to 5000 G

One thing people requested is for items to be cheaper thus making it easier on newer players. So, this is what we did. On top of that, we also increased the prices of some of the ores in order to atleast make mining a little more worth as before there wasn't much worth to mining.

Processing Changes

• Emerald changed to 3 seconds (from 2)
• Diamond changed to 2.5 seconds (from 1.5)
• Gold changed to 2.25 seconds (from 1.25)
• Iron changed to 2 seconds (from 1)
• Coal changed to 1.75 seconds (from 0.75)

• Wild Grass changed to 4 seconds (from 3)
• Coco changed to 3.5 seconds (from 2.5)
• Poppy changed to 3 seconds (from 2)
• Shrooms changed to 2.75 seconds (from 1.75)

(this will be explained further down as to why processing times were changed by 1 second)

Achievements

We have added an achievement system to Wild West! There are 72 obtainable achievements and you can view all the achievements by typing /achievements in-game. Each achievement has a reward (x amount of money), and that reward is higher depending on the difficulty of the achievement

Skills

We have added 4 new skills to Wild West. You can view your skills in-game by typing /skills. In-game, the GUI we have for skills goes a little more in depth about each skill, their perks, and what is required to level them up.

• Mining Skill
• Drug Harvesting Skill
• Ore Processing Skill
• Drug Processing Skill

Obviously, you level up these skills by performing actions that relate to the skill.

IE: If you want to level up your drug processing skill, you have to process drugs.

As you level up each skill, your perks for the skill increase proportionally.

For example, in the drug processing skill, there is a perk that will lower your processing speed by [x] amount of time. As you level up your skill, your processing time is lowered. This is also why we raised processing times, so it can balance out with the processing skills.

Each skill has a max level of 10 and your overall skill (the number that will appear next to your name) is the average of all your other skills.

Coin Flips

We have added a new form of gambling to Wild West! If you've ever done a coin flip for money, this is basically similar to what that is. To play, you simply navigate to the "Coin Flipper" NPC, right click him, and either join a game or start a game. When creating a game, you can enter any stakes you want as long as you can afford it. Same applies with joining a game. Remember, this is also Player VS Player, unlike the Bartender NPC which is Player VS The House.

You can, at any time, view your coin flip stats by typing /coinflipstats

Other

• Added the Bartender NPC to the navigator (NPCs -> Bartender)
• Show correct processing times on the Ore/Drug Processor NPCs
• Sheriff bodies now drop all loot (excluding sheriff gear) (1/4 of ammo is dropped)
• Fixed multitude of bugs that have been present on our trello. View our trello here

 

Other than kevlar, sheriffs and bandits equipped with full d / illegal weapons are actually on the exact same playing field
