iMingo's Ideas For Wild West

This thread includes player balancing issues with sheriffs, syringes, and more ways to make money.

The anti tank rifle is a joke, here is something that you can make a change.
That thing is an anti tank rifle m8, why does it seem like a carcano sized normal rifle? Make the big rifle only have 1 bullet, but have a decent reload time, one shot to the head, 7 hearts to the body, 5 hearts in the legs/arms. give players slowness when having that gun in their inventory, so make the player nearly impossible to run. Making it a camping gun only, change the sound of it aswell, make it the Barrett sound from warz or stronger sound than it. And make it extremely expensive, way higher than the normal rifles and add anti tank rifle bullets, and cost like 200 each or something, making players unable to use it like a normal rifle.
So that not everyone will have one of these, making it crazy expensive to balance its damage out put and to make lower skill group players unable to get, add slowness to make it useless when rushing, due to the problem of the player can't run.
This will lower the frequency of seeing this crazy 6 feet anti tank rifle used in the game, the changes I just suggested, made it hard to use, but op if you know how to use it correctly.
And sheriffs have to buy their own weapon, they spawn with a new sheriff pistol that is only decent against leather armor, which is pretty much like the lemat or volcanic, but it's free for the sheriffs.
Guns will be as expensive for sheriffs as it is for bandits, make it coach gun 2 bullets, cause it's a double barrel shotgun, how will it have 9 shots in it? But the bullets will be extremely op, the time between each shot will be longer, but the reload time will be faster than the Winchester. Making it a "peek and shoot" gun, while the bandits have the "rushing" ones
Add a new rifle that's has the same stats as the current tg, making it an actual better usable rifle than the carcano, but not crazy as the tg
Make the sheriff have 2 rifles, one with the same stats of the carcano, costs the same as a carcano, the better rifle with the same stats as the current tg, cost the same as the tg.
And make sheriffs able to pick up bandit guns, and bandits able to pick up sheriff guns, if they all have the same stats, there is no difference except for the clip size/amount of ammo it holds, the new tg will be pretty much useless for sheriffs because it's a terrible rushing weapon due to its new changes I listed above, but the sheriffs can sell them for some extra cash to buy the guns they want
Add smgs, a good example can be the tommy gun, the damage wont be extremely high, it can be a weapon that's used to finish off a wounded enemy, and used as a support weapon, low damage, low range, but decent recoil, making the player unable to run the shoot like a p90 in csgo, if the player run and shoot, the recoil of the gun will slow the player down a lot, but when standing still, the gun recoil won't push the player back too far. It would cost higher than a carcano, but lower than a Winchester. With separate ammo type, sold by clips (sold 30 shots at a time) and 1 clip costs about 100-200. This will make newer players have a chance against skilled players. They might not know how to use rifles cause they not have that skill, but smgs can make them have to chance to make a come back and keep playing again
And lower the accuracy of rifles when you're on a horse, shotguns, smgs, and pistols don't matter. If a player has a tg in his inventory while riding a horse, the horse will be slower depending on the horse type. Making it impossible to horse pvp with the new tg. So the tg will be a camping weapon. It will only be useful when it's shipped to a place where you camp, you are extremely vulnerable when shipping it, rushing with it, and trying to spray with it. This gun will become a gun that's used by higher skilled players.
And make sheriffs able to earn more money and more ways to make money, but keep it to a minimum, make them actually able to do stuff to get money, not only cuffing people and search them or mining. It can be shipping an item to a place: go to an npc, the npc gives the sheriff an item, the sheriff takes it somewhere, and he gets paid. The players can do the same thing, but they get paid less.
And make sheriffs get paid every hour from their stats, if they made xxx amount of arrests, found xxx amount of drugs, they get paid xxx amount every hour they're on, and add a plugin that if a sheriff is afk for xxx amount of time, they get kicked to lobby. So that they don't earn mad amount of cash from doing nothing
The tg change will make the skilled players win, not the amount of players on your team anymore. Making it truly skill>numbers. Adding smgs will make lower skilled players able to play and enjoy the game, they might not even know to aim with a rifle cause they're so new, they can use smgs and actually kill people to have fun, but it won't ruin the game because smgs won't be very overpowered, it will be bad against armored enemies. The gun equal & pick up change will balance the game between sheriffs and bandits, removing the balancing issues players and sheriffs have, and this will lower or remove the frequency of arguments of this topic. Sheriff earnings change will make sheriffs able to earn money that's a similar amount like bandits do, making the game fair. The sheriff have to buy guns change will fix the 1000 waves of sheriffs problem, sheriffs have to buy their own guns, and bandits can pick up guns, making bandits able to earn stuff that's actually good from it, sheriffs lose money if they lose, so they will actually care about losing their own stuff. Making the game more fair towards bandits. Making these changes can lower the toxicness of the game if everyone is happy and it's a fair game

OK, about the forever syringes, Mingo admits that maybe a bad idea. He didn't really want me to put those in there.
