Gameplan

I don't think this should be called Wild West if you're doing this massive of a change. (*Note*: What i'm about to say next is simply just my opinion, don't get mad at my opinion now ;v). Some things listed are actually somewhat good ideas, but most of it, i don't, along with other people, don't like the ideas listed since they branch off too much from the original experience that Wild West has brought.

you seem overly excited, calm down.

 

I look forward to seeing the future!

 

Or maybe just make a few sinple changes..

No one have ever explained why the myth "A complete rework is needed" is in fact true. It is just accepted as a fact without questioning.

A few changes would do wonders. There really is no need to rework the server completely.

Making the economy more fair while adding a team memer limit (@tr1kim), changing the /profile command(@tr1kim), making 1 team proc per base thingy (@tr1kim), and changing how sheriffs work (all kos, have to go for top team etc) (@randomcitizen1, @tr1kim ) and just a few other changes would already be enough.

 

A team memer limit would certainly stop the enormous trafficking of illegal memes. Seriously though a team member limit would stop gigantic teams from ruling over processors, but cross teaming is still an issue.

 

Do you even read our posts, or do you just try to find something "smart" to point out?

 

Is this going to lead up to a reset?

 

This isn't going to need a reset unless there's irreversible damage to the economy.

I'm concerned about what the "low information" players would think. You know, the players who aren't on the forums or don't care about using the forums. They make up a good portion of the playerbase. In fact, they maybe most of the playerbase. Things just seem to happen out of the blue to them.
It would be a good idea to advertise this thread on Wild West.

 

How about balancing the game?
I farmed stuff for 1 hour and then some douchebag just randomnly 1-shots me.
Not as bad as War, but WW is still one of my least favorite gamemodes, because new players get backstabbed 24/7

(goat rant over)

 

I agree with this. One of the reasons I enjoy Wild West so much is because it's different from the rest. There is no tiers and instead 3 types of guns.

Also, for guilds I kind of don't understand. Does that mean that the whole purpose of teams is removed? Instead we will just have 3 mass factions/guilds/teams?

 

Reread the op.

 

I think Indians are super cool, but not good enough for people to want to play it.

Maybe if you're an Indian you get to sell drugs 1.5x more per drug. Thoughts?

Having horses better and maybe cheaper would be good too. Giving them access to to a purely Indian "town" may be really appealing too.

 

They don't have access to good armor, and are kos to sheriffs which is a little op. I dunno, I just feel like it would need to be buffed if people would want to play it.

 

First of all, I really want to thank you @randomcitizen1
Thank you for taking in feedback and showing that you really care about Wild West! You are really showing interest in making Wild West better, and the community appreciates that.

Okay and now for some ideas:

Sheriffs- Stated by Verlyn, sheriffs would not need to apply on the forums and would instead be able to just pick the Guild. In my opinion, that's a little absurd. ANYONE could be able to pick sheriff and abuse anytime they wanted. Wild West really doesn't have a lot of staff on all the time. Because we all know that even staff have a personal life, and can't be on 24/7. Unless Wild West has a huge spike of staff, there will be a lot of unnoticed abuse going on. For example: -A new player decides he /she wants to be sheriff and knows he'll/she'll make a lot of money abusing it. Of course, he/she knows not to go for big players since they will report him/her. So he targets new players at the different bases, around towns, and mines.-
See the problem? Most new players don't know where or how to report and can easily be unmotivated to keep playing.
Yes, there are a few ways to prevent this abuse, but people will find ways to exploit the system and abuse will be much more prevalent. Yes, of course, the Sheriff Guild should be a thing, but I suggest there at least be some sort of inspection before someone is allowed to join the Sheriff Guild.

Indians- As stated numerous times above, Indian is just not powerful enough to be appealing to new players. Yes, the idea of not being able to be cuffed is a great factor of Indian, but the weapons will most likely have not a great chance up against the Bandits and Sheriffs. Though I am not fond of the idea of tiered guns, I would be definitely all for tiered Indian weapons. Also, there should be different and multiple weapons for each tier. (If anyone plays Destiny you would know there is primary guns that are "tiered" you could say. The Auto Rifle, Hand Cannon, Pulse Rifle, and Scout Rifle are all the base primary categories.)

BOWS
just some rough examples of what types of bows there could be in each tier.

Gatling Bow
Would fire insanely quick but wouldn't do a lot of damage per arrow, has great knock back.


Sharp Bow
Does great damage but fires very slow.


Rifle Bow
Does moderate damage and fires moderately fast.

Though these bows are not historically accurate (quite obviously), they are based on historically accurate Wild West guns. (Gatling gun, Sharps rifle, and Spencer Rifle.)


I'd also think tiered axes would be a great addition as well. For axes, a neat idea would be the ability to throw the axe like a tomahawk. Most Native Americans didn't use axes, they used clubs as striking weapons. So if axes were to be added they should also be added with a throwing feature. I would imagine also that throwing would do less damage than attacking with an axe/tomahawk as well.
