It's weird though. When I said Era was P2W (which is def is) on Era-Go everyone decided to bash out on me saying they need some way of funding or how can you buy EC with rl money lol. I get that and all but seriously as I said there, that job buff they had on Black Friday? Yeah, they should have kept it. Not only are all jobs horrible and time-consuming but they pay so little. Meph did a really neat thing of comparing digging to real life money and it shows that digging pays so little value for so much time consumed. It's sad they buffed the jobs for one day then revert it right back to normal like the normal ones are fine.

Economy concerns and melee speed? ***** wtf no just put down triple job values. Economy concerns will be taken in anyother ways other than making more shekels. Cookie is basically saying buff the hell outta jobs.
Melee speeds put down melee speed boost cause speed = swing speed.

R u srs? Ok graal is a player made player runned game. Staff can easily manage the economy. Can they control the IAPs? No. But they can give players who dont want to pay a chance to win by buffing jobs and unix cannot say anything about it because it aint his game.

snk has said no to increasing job pay-outs. If it was up to me they would be improved. I'm going to work on giving the current jobs a makeover, making them more fun. I can't promise that the pay-out will improve though...

When it comes to commercial servers we don't get a say in everything. The economy is one of those things. The only non-toonslab staff member who could change the economy is snk. Many of the big price/item issues have to go directly through snk, and sometimes unixmad. Everyday staff have no say in it.

I can put down on our list "increase pay-outs from jobs" and "improve the economy" but things like that will most likely get shot down.

I'd prefer we focus on things that developers can reasonably be expected to able to handle, not complete overhauls of an economy which have to be talked about at the highest levels of Era management/toonslab...

What reno's saying is correct.
Only snk could change the pay-outs and he might need permission from unixmad to do that (if it's drastic enough).

As far as i know, the iservers are much more strictly controlled than playerworld servers/hosted servers using the pc client.
I could open a server on pc and have 100k per shell digging and nobody would care.
But since toonslab makes most of it's money through these servers, it's tightly controlled.

If you want change in that area, email snk or toonslab- nothing we can do.

Well theres no saving this server if job pay gets increased. Doesnt matter how much stuff is on it. If you cant get money to do that stuff it dont matter

I have played Era occasionally and I feel it lacks a few things:

-Starting point: FFS starting a game in the middle of the map with a bunch of people advertising looks horrid. Make a starting island or something like Classic.

-Improve payout of jobs: or lower the price of some items

-Clean up map: it is so complicated, confusing, and hard to understand

-Clean up playerworld: somethings should not even be on sale or around.

The only pro I can think of is the furniture. That ****s beautiful

We're going to be remaking the tutorial at a later date using a system we think will be much better. Hopefully this extends to a more ideal starting place.

Can you be more specific in terms of cleaning up the world?

It's too late to add this to the report because it's already been created and approved but I'll look into cleaning up some of the less necessary things if you provide some examples and reasons why they shouldn't be there.

I hope, feedback is still accepted.

I feel the PKing on iEra is too easy, why not put some challenge on it? like bleeding if you're cut with blades

Hows about bleeding when under 15 heath, too. While bleeding, you can be killed in a non-pk area. It'd be a good way to punish people who run off into the nearest building and eat when they are low on health.

Make the casino actually not worthless, bring in betflipping?

I'd actively play if betflipping was implemented,

I think the PR team is bigger than the Dev team.

And thus get 500 underage kids into gambling problems?

Yeah, I don't think so.

Or just use the idea Ol West has for the healing.
It's better than to try and heal when you're so low, it doesn't even involve any other skills in both PKing & basing (except for Neo Base).
