The League

1) I like how you think, although your the only person who thinks like this, it's interesting to think about your ideas.
2) they still bring there own gear like 99%of the time
3) no offense but you make the it's not healthy to promote a sheriff watching... like sheriffs are new born babies xD
4)it's just events for people to come and fight at for fun

 

According to the Sheriff handbook, you're required to arrest anyone who has illegal weapons, or who goes rogue, in your range, certainly in your sight. But let's just crap on the handbook, and on the gamemode, so Fadaad can watch people have consequence free pvp. This gamemode isn't about consequence free pvp.

 

I would rather listen to staff when they say don't cuff them for the time being than a handbook, and it's not like it's for a week just for about an hour

 

How exactly would we realistically display wild west in an event? Nvm, I got a new idea: Standing by proc for 1 hour watching youtube. You won't want to miss this exciting event!

 

Offering rewards for controlling an Indian Camp, Gold Rush for only one mine where all the ore becomes Gold for an hour, even a Base Specific Proc boost like only Tobacco 200% boost 1 hour could be a lot of fun, and more relevant than this.

 

All of those ideas require dev time though, which we do not have. The only potential exception might be controlling an indian camp but even so....

 

It only requires Dev time for the FIRST time, then just give Staff the power to turn on a Gold Rush, Indian Camp KoTH, or Rebel Base/Cartel Bonus Hour, and we have events forever.

It wouldn't take too much effort to have all ores respawn into Gold for an hour at a mine, or to add in one chest at an Indian camp that would spawn epic loot at the end of an hour.

 

FIRST time is still time.

As much as we would love to do these ideas, we just can't.

 

I like the first idea but like chilled said dev time and time
Gold rush meh good money I guess but not much time for non ranks and yet just making ppl go to mines and min boring
Specific proc booster would help but not really an event and noobs wouldn't really be able to get there because the pros would take it

 

edit: @meepism I like fights, what I don't like is having zero consequences for dying. Also, I regret that brawl doesnt have time to make WW better.

Fine then here's some ideas for No Dev Time Required Events that also are more representative of Wildwest gameplay:

Manually run KoTH: Designated Cartel (easiest, as it displays who is in control), base, Train location, pvp village/drug base, or other location is set as the goal. After 30 mins, the winning team gets a prize. Imagine if Sir Boodle's pen was a KoTH, whomever was left inside it after 30 mins won a reward.
Great Horse Race: Everyone pays a fee to enter, and runs using a horse with speed of 0.25 (pony or donkey). They race from one location to the next, with no violence between contestants allowed (maybe some Episode I Sand Raider shenanigans could happen, but no one who is racing is allowed to go rogue). If need be, they can race to various points around a town. At each checkpoint a staff is watching to make sure no one takes a shortcut but hits all the checkpoints. Winner gets a portion of the entry fees. An example course could be Shaniko Conductor -> Shaniko Sheriff Station -> Southern Shaniko Drug Dealer (the one who is in his own little base) -> Shaniko Home Improvement -> Shaniko Conductor = One lap.
Hide and Seek: Just like tracking a Rogue, except you don't have a compass to point out the Person you are looking for. One staff hides, and tells everyone a town. They could be inside the town, or at any of the locations nearest the town, including locations that are not marked on the map, like Ellsworth Mansion or Frisco Train etc. First person to find them wins a prize. Maybe they give hints, idk.
Lumberjacking Contest: Wipe inventories somehow first. At a specific town, first person to reach 100 logs wins a prize.

 

OMG YES. sort of. Create more incentives to succeed at the actual gameplay! Don't just give anyone who will only play for free fights a place on an open world rpg gamemode, that kind of play is for battle royale etc.

 

Yes! to both. edit: I would be opposed to both

Part of the KoTH is getting to the place that is contested, it should be dangerous just to be anywhere near the contested area.

The horse race should be announced so that people have plenty of time to buy a pony or empty a donkey and get to the starting line, no need for TP there.

edit: for some of these ideas, I am assuming mods can fly and spectate and stuff

 

1) You told me that you provide gear to people who don't have it, and then wipe inventories. The experience of top tier pvp should be behind a gameplay gate
2) I oppose all staff TPs or gear giving for events, reread my answer. Yes I oppose TP to both KoTH and Race

 

KoTH at Kootenai Indian Camp, whomever controls the large fire pit at the end of half an hour wins 50k. boom done. everyone can get there.
Race at Shaniko, pm for Fee and Checkpoint Details. Or post it on the forums on a wednesday for a saturday race.

@meepism
This is pvp without consequences, that is what I am referring to
