Focus Thread - Tiered Gear and Level-Up System

Tiers, yes, they would be good. It'll actually give a goal for people to play in the game. In Wild West currently there is no 'goal', you just need to do illegal/legal stuff and get money and fight. Tiers would be great.

 

Personally I don't like change in this instance good idea but I'm not digging it

 

I feel like if you're a solo, and don't really have any friends, leveling up those first 5 levels would be really hard. Maybe making tier 1 guns and armor available at the starting point would be better.

 

nooo not the vote stuff
yay a reason to vote on brawl tho

 

I think teams should have a down-side so there is actually something worth it going solo...

 

In my personal opinion, tiered guns will just make Wild West WarZ. But hey, that's just what I think.

 

You would regret that the day that was implemented..

 

No tiered guns please. Too much WarZ. How about just having some guns be better than others like rn. I don't really like the idea of leveling up to buy guns :V But then again you could just kill for the higher tier guns.

 

Of those in big teams, justfamouz, poiz and stef wouldnt regret it a secound. Some just rely on numbers ye see.

 

I dont know that i am saying he wouldnt want that. I never said that.. i said he would regret it.. which i only partly agree with btw. I mean its impossible to predict exatly what would happen.

 

Make experience based on certain weapon, e.g. when you keep using pistol tier I, you'll gain experience on this gun. More experience when you shoot a player with higher level. More experience on the gun, less time to reload. Don't make more damage along with experience, it'll crush newbies. Reload time is enough to take a slight advantage in equal fight. Also, experience on the gun will unlock buying the next tier of the gun if the current tier is already unlocked.

Experience on armor should be gained similarly, but each part of armor will soften different kind of damage (and experience will be gained accordlingly):

• helmet - headshots,
• chestplate - normal shot,
• leggings - melee and fire,
• boots - fall.

Don't forget tiered bows (more chance to daze an opponent? less time to reload?) and melee weapon (more chance to parry an attack? maybe a shot?).

Horse will gain its own experience while running. Trained horses will jump higher and run faster. A player will gain experience for riding which will allow to train horses faster in case the current one dies as well as buy better tier horses.

The player may steal someone's horse, but needs time to successfully steal a horse. More stealing, more experience, less time to steal.

Similarly stealing other players from behind (but for a single item).

Also, experience for sneaking, repairs, robbing, chopping trees, consuming drug/alcohol.

Thoughts?

 

I've considered and suggested implementing a sixth town that only grants the newer players access (rank 1-5?). That way, they'll be able to acquaint themselves with the gamemode without being in the same pool as the best players. It's kind of like Frisco pre-Eula, but for newer players instead of donators.

The current planned system will give you access to better gear, rather than abilities. We're probably going to be keeping the /skills system and there are some really neat ideas out there. I'm a little against altering gear however, as it kind of screws over the PvP system and doesn't really favor newer players. Remember, we're trying to focus on retaining these players this map.

Not really supporting the "newbie friendly" aspect we're trying to achieve :n. I believe that the current system is working fine. You shouldn't have to worry about going afk to come back and realize that someone nicked all of your belongings.

 

It will make it too much like warz like others have stated and honestly I love the gamemode the way it is

But then again that's just me
