I think wild west is due for another rework. I've remixed the following ideas (https://www.brawl.com/threads/58749/#post-741154) to fit wild wests current state and added ideas of my own. Keep in mind, most of the ideas can be easily added and I've tried to keep it minimal.

*this would be best implemented with a reset imo*

First off, why should we rework wild west?
-Players have been yearning for a long time about wild west getting certain things fixed or added
-It would help bring players back
-Opportunities to revise a once abandoned gamemode (though its seen light recently)

Lets start off with the main aspects of wild west:

PVP

Now, without changing major aspects that would take a lot of work to edit and make balanced, guns will not be added / removed. I will also not talk about sheriff weapons in this section and save it for its own.
Imo, the sawed off doesn't need a nerf, its very short ranged and takes a decent amount of time to shoot. It also only shoots 3 bullets, so its spread is minimal.
Seeing that pvp is the main aspect of the game, why make it so expensive? Currently it costs around 30k for a full set. A diamond set is 10k, but as @JoergSprave has said in a previous thread, helmets are essentially pointless. So, realistically, a dia set only costs 7750g. This should be reduced to 5.75k ( a 2k reduction, 1/3 of the original cost). This is a decent change in price, but it also allows new players to buy armor off the bat, which can let them get a taste of PVP off the bat. After doing so, they feel more obligated to process drugs or mine to buy more armor etc. Illegals cost 12400g in total. TG-6300, Model-3600, Sawed-2500, the reduction would be targeted towards the TG and Model seeing as they're the most expensive. TG-5000, Model-3000. New total: 10500, a 1.9k reduction. A new set would cost around 23-25k (if you don't buy a diamond helmet)

Old set
helm 2250 model 3600
chest 2900 sawed 2500
leggings 2750 pots (starter + 6 e/a) 5400
boots 2100 ammo 2240
tg 6300 total 30400

New set
helm n/a model 3000
chest 2250 sawed 2500
leggings 2000 pots (starter + 6 e/a) 5400
boots 1500 ammo 2240
tg 5000 total 23890

Drugs

This is the main way to make money. I'm going to be honest, who finds a game appealing when the main way to get money to fight, is by AFK-ing? If this is going to stay the same, I propose a rework, similar to what @TheMafias said in his thread (https://www.brawl.com/threads/71809/) we should amp all the prices of drugs. This will be especially beneficial with the new maps / bases we have planned. The tiers of drugs will be re-worked.
Tier 1
Tobacco & Poppy
This tier is meant for players who have recently joined the game, It's price is suitable for them to work on gaining money while not attracting the interest of experienced players. The bases will also be re-worked and suited for new players etc.
Sheriff radar : low to minimal

Tier 2
Wild grass
A middle tier, made for new players moving up in the game, ranked player may also find it beneficial if traffic in higher tiered bases is extreme.
Sheriff radar : medium to low

Tier 3
Shrooms and Coco
This tier is meant for more experienced players; more fights will happen at these bases because of their proc time and price. More people will be here trying to process aswell.
Sheriff radar : high

Old drug prices can be found here :https://www.brawl.com/wiki/wildwest-economy/
New prices are calculated off of the old ones and, and are made to be similar to those in their tier. Proc times have also been altered to make certain high tiered drugs favorable to others though they have similar prices. This will create a minor difference in-between the drugs of the same tier, but keeping the price relatively similar. It will then allow each tier to have its main high traffic processor.

@TheMafias (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vOuAKMZgADLN4YG5cWi7n0oikceEbYuAoCWYFk5nkpk/edit#gid=0)

Tier 1
Tobacco : 12 proc : 2.4
Shrooms : 15 proc : 2.65
Tier 2
Wild grass : 25 proc : 3.6
Tier 3
Shrooms : 37 proc : 5
Coco : 52 proc : 6

Sheriffs
There are a few core problems to sheriffs
-Cuffing (mainly on horse)
-Pistol spam
-Price of their heads

Lets start off with cuffing. The most simple solution being: put in the hand book, its recommended or, not allowed to cuff on horse. Pistol spamming can be resolved with a recommendation from @SoullessAngel_ and @Hitchens being that the clip of the S&W should be reduced to 5, rather than 9. Finally, Sheriff heads should be buffed to 8k, this is far more profitable for bandits and makes cuff wars more interesting.

The sheriff radar mentioned previously is meant to be similar to how robbing conductors works. Meaning sheriffs focus more on the high tier bases rather than low tier.

Mining

https://www.brawl.com/threads/71940/
an update seems unnecessary.
Overall I don't doubt I've left things out in the thread, feel free to recommend any ideas or re-works you think wild west should have.

 

I agree it should take more time between shots.

I think that the goal of future updates should be ones that create more interesting gameplay. Making it player friendly and popularizing wild west should be the intention of the community. By targeting our updates towards new players it shows that the updated gameplay is worth playing. This will also be persuasive for our current players to want to stay. I don't know about you, but imo, updates to games are what keep the players playing. For example; any game thats doing well currently or for instance minecraft. Though it has controversial updates, because its getting updates a lot of the people who play the game stick with it to see new things and how it develops.

I fixed most of the proc times so that they're the same, If i missed any let me know. Also, I switched the order of drugs in their tiers to match the new drug bases planned on being released or the already released ones. Whats the point of having more suitable and new PVP based bases if they're going to be low tier / low traffic areas? I think the new high tiered drugs should be biased towards the #soon to be released or already released bases. A lot of people (@SoCool21 @Hitchens @Pyrotheum) have vouched for changes in the most expensive drug.

It should stay similar to how it is now, but changing the prices to go up slightly especially towards the bottom. (definitely agree)

+1

 

we put our prices the way we did so it didn't change any of the current proc times. Changing this has a huge affect on gameplay, take for instance when they changed poppys price and proc time. Also please take a look at mafias spread sheet :https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vOuAKMZgADLN4YG5cWi7n0oikceEbYuAoCWYFk5nkpk/edit#gid=0, he already worked out everything for these prices.

 

95% of the time when a sheriff horse cuffs they don’t need to. It’s very uncommon for a sheriff to actually have to horse cuff.
