Tribes could work for the Indian faction, but it would seem weird to me to have a tribe of cowboys, unless that makes sense and ive never heard of it

good point :)
they are refereed to as a posse I think

Crude offensive slurs?

And I had some suggestions :D

Turrets


Fix This Afk


Healing Gun


Healing Bombs


Walls


Barricades

gfy

Yeah, I agree with Distorted when it comes to healing, I feel that Raiding is all about playing aggressively, a support role would be a refreshing change.

Personally, I feel it would be an interesting touch to Ol'West if something to go beyond the average guild once your guild completes a major achievement, IE GST winner, or 1k hours. Once the milestone is reached, the guild leader could destroy the old guild and create a nation. A nation could hold up to fifty members, and would be able to raid for control over south and north, with each map section only being raidable at certain times of the day? IE 5 PM EST, whoever controls the different sections of the map at the end of the raiding period could have control over the section until the next opportunity to capture it. Nations could also have access to Nation Points which could be redeemed for major prizes, IE custom gun skins, base on the map, etc.

^- Just an idea to spice up the PvP of ol'west.

Also GOAT, thank you for your answer, that is all I wanted to know. As I mentioned before, I am new to Graalians.

I wish Classic had a super kewl dood like you. ;-;
@Alpho

Scrap everything BUT what I bolded, and it's actually a unique, interesting, and not-to-complicated idea.
Erases the guilds old hours and everything. The only thing that remains is the players still in the guild and the name.

Basing IS boring. Idk what basing is for. Maybe that's because I think it's boring XD

As leader of anarchy i highly commend Alpho on his effort and ethic towards improving Basing for us. Gang points is what distinguishes west from the other servers, excellent idea however be careful not to make the items to overpriced/underpriced or event items too overpowered or it will upset people and turn them off of basing (like the highly debated event staff).
Basing is fine at the moment however i think you should make it singular and individual points, for example for every 1 minute you are in the base you get 1 individual point and 1 gang point, the players can have the option to turn 1 gang point into 0.25 singular points, or they can donate x amount of points to the gang bank.
This is just an idea in which gives players the options to earn gang point for themselves, and their gang possibly (unless they exchange it for more singular points) the reason i think the ratio of gang points to singular points should be 1/4 is because i think donations to the gang should be encouraged as this shows who's willingly able to put themselves out for their gangs advantage, besides they are still getting singular points 4x as fast as the gang points if they convert.

In the gang bank should only be gang related items which can be used in basing, i dont think cannons would be a good idea (i heard this mentioned earlier, as it is ridiculously hard to program (think of poor Alpho haha) and it would take the gun combat out of graal in which we all love and turn it into a turret game if you wish. the items should be things which help members but only on tag and available to some ranks. This opens up a whole new pathway on the area of ranking (I'll make a thread soon)for example the leader can select which members have access to what, for example member x has access to a gang pick axe whereas member z doesn't.
There also needs to be a tool in which all players of the gang can see which player has donated how many gang points, this could help the leader do rankings depending on the donations and encourage other players to thank them or follow their actions. This aspect reminded me of the clash of clans donation system (players can see how many gang points have been donated and by who)

Another thing to take into account is to give the upcoming gangs a chance, for example, if you made the items available to gangs too overpowered then only the "better" basing gangs could get it which minimises uprising small gangs.

These are just my ideas conveyed into a spam of my own opinion haha, I'll post a proper thread soon on the subject of a whole new ranking basis.

I do agree that points should be awarded every minute, but if you die during that minute, then then you won't get the point. Seems a little unfar to me. Still award it once a minute, but make it so that you only have to be in the base for 55 seconds out of that minute. Sorry if this doesn't make sense..

A trap that pushes back an attacker 2 times only


This just came out of my mind

really gang points? wow such wow

GANG POINTS
 

-ADD COOL WEAPOnS 10-50k GP
-MAKE A GANG BAR 50k GP

I like most of the ideas given so far, but it seems as though this thread has died out.
No one's been contributing ideas in awhile so I thought I might add my idea.
Here it is:

Gangs like The Exchange have gang bodies that members can earn after being loyal, doing well, etc. There could be a gang body that you could buy off the GP shop. Only the leader can purchase it. After purchasing the gang body from the GP shop, the leader has to upload their own custom body which is to be reviewed by staff as though it is a normal body upload. Everyone ontag has access to the body for free (it's automatically added into their inventory), however when they leave the gang, go offtag, or are kicked they will lose the body. Also, it would be cool if it could be a 5th power for access to the gang body. It could be added after buying the gang body from GP store.

With this, gang bodies will be easier to distribute making gangs seem in unison.

Feedback on this idea please! (help elaborate on it or tell me if it's just a bad idea)

only reason this thread died out is because of the large gap in between the gang points being released and the shop still being unreleased. People have lost intrest for the time being probably until the shop opens up. I mean it is understandable but anyways your gang body idea is pretty cool it gives easier access to the members with less gralats

I heard 'someone' *cough* leaked GP shop photos so maybe everyone saw everything and then thought "Its been made, we don't need more ideas".

Yeah I wonder who that was *cough* YOU *cough* :)
