My Review of Ol West
Gave ol west a shot since Era freezes evry 2 secs. Here is my review:
1. Ol west has the best jobs of all of the servers. The jobs are actually fun to do, from mining to fishing very original great job.
2. Guns- you have to love the pre-bar era like guns with a western twist. It requires and promotes skill if consistently used, another great job.
3. Melees- probably the only thing I disliked with a passion, that is holding this game back from being the best server. The melees although look cool are way to OP, nobody fights they just rush to melee because they are much stronger than the guns. Most ppl in bases didn't even bother fighting, they just rushed the flag which counter acts the great skill promoting balance of the guns.
4. Respawning- way too quick, there should be a larger penalty for dying and along with the OP melees this just conditions people to rush even more. The time it takes to get to the flag shouldn't be a few seconds even if you hold the base already.
5. Random npc's shooting you- pretty annoying seeing tht when they die, they don't dissapear. They get right back up. To promote pvp practice there should be exp and lvls when killing these npcs to encourage ppl to practice on much easier opponents.
Overall ol west has great potential and I like the direction staff is going. If a few things tht promote more skill based gun play were implemented like nerfing melees I would rlly enjoy the game. It is the ol west after all where guns made a name for themselves not melees. If you keep the guns the way they are, this server can be better then it's previous counterparts.
HW has done a great job so far, I look forward to playing this game when melees aren't so powerful.
Thanks
