Sheriffs and Boosters

Why was such an idea not properly thought through?
An patch (update in this sense) that includes the use of paying for better & faster gameplay but you're limited to the rules of Sheriff's and other things, in this case like you said, you lose actual money.
Not the most thought out thing but it's surely a start for helping Brawl.

 

3 counterarguments:

1. Sheriffs aren't OP. I used to process drugs in presence of 8 sheriffs and nothing happened to me, I think the rest also could try, if they don't think only of KoSing sheriffs.

2. Faster processing, more drugs, more money for sheriffs who are poorly paid.

3. Processing boost is processing boost. Failing on drugs? Try processing ores, you'll process faster.

I think developers should connect drug processing time with mining boost as well as harvesting boost with ore processing time.
To let players choose if they go for drugs or minerals.

 

Maybe we should implement a rule where sheriffs can't hunt players at a base when a processing booster is active? I know this is a bit unfair for sheriffs, but we don't want to discourage donations. An alternative to this is maybe a $3-5 booster that specifically prohibits sheriffs from going to drug bases- well that probably violates EULA so I am not sure.
Let me know what you think.

 

Can someone explain this to me? I don't understand how sheriffs can ruin boosters. I mean, how long do they last?

Where are these boosters, anyway? I looked in the shop, and I don't see them.

 

When a booster is active @Gehenna_Beam you would expect everyone to go " Lets do some drugs" but sheriffs know this so they just hunt bases. Keep doing this for an hour then you just lost 5$

 

Nah, sheriffs can be killed

 

Sheriffs keep coming back and they do this cause they lose nothing and have no risk. If they die they don't care they just come back with more free gear. This seems to be a reoccurring problem.

 

I would recommend introducing a counter measure to the Sheriff.

Why not introduce the Villain?

- They work the opposite of sheriffs, can free you, kill a sheriff, and their powers are similar and like Sheriffs there are only a few.

Sheriffs should lose their gear like everyone else.

 

have any of u see a cop in real life driving the car with both of his hands having out of the window holding handcuffs and slap the handcuffs on every black guy they see and say "haha ez arrest"? if u want this team to be realistic, add a handcuffing time like 10 seconds, if the player moves during that time, sheriffs are allowed to shoot, @18kss

 

This is all I want in Wild west

 

Just time it right so that it runs when there are no sheriffs online. Also, there's not that many sheriffs. The most sheriffs I've seen online at once is two, so that shouldn't be a problem. The player needs to think about this. Plus, if there's only two sheriffs allowed when the booster is up and running what about the other sheriffs in the game? They won't be able to play for a long time, which is unfair. And if sheriffs lost their gear when they died how will they come back to the players? The sheriffs make money by arresting them, first of all. So if one of the bandits killed the horse and then the sheriff then the sheriff is powerless. It's just the cycle of things. You're basically suggesting to change the cycle and even it out. Again, if you bought one of the boosters you need to time it right. If this suggestion is implemented into the game then we can expect everyone riding their horses to drug bases, buying illegal guns, and warfare. Overall, hours of madness.

 

Agree, I felt like 2 of my 3 hour booster was wasted due sheriffs

 

I've seen 13 at once when there was an event and 7 at once when there was not

 

are u saying sheriffs are not a problem? their guns can one shot u in full diamond, their handcuff can instant make u cry (eZZZ one slap and ur done), they got none-skill, but anyone can nail a few shots with a shotgun, their shotgun does the 2x damage as the model, basically one shot u in full diamond, their repeater = t-gewehr, those are not the real problem, the REAL problem is - they get those for FREE!!! they can come back many times as they want, soon or later u die

 

Again, timing is the key.

Yes, sheriffs are not a problem. They do not get their items for free. They apply on the forums and if they are mature, respectful, and active enough they get this privilege. It isn't really the sheriff's or the communities fault. Have you ever read the sheriff handbook? It states that they can only come back for up to five minutes. If they see you committing a crime then they have another five minutes after they die. Try to read the sheriff handbook before you reply. (NO. They are NOT overpowered. You just need to put more thought into what you do. If you really hate getting arrested by them just play the legal path)

 

They just come back right after they die, they don't care about the details on the handbook, they just wanna have their revenge

 

The last few i've been in, sheriffs have seemed to respect the booster and not do anything besides like mine or something. I don't think this is a good idea because it's honestly pointless. :L
