Point 1
Add Ping Limit! People Lag on Purpose or are Australian ruins the basing experience
Point 2
Make Food 1 Gralats
Point 3
Food disabled inside bases + outside (outside part of gmap name where base is located)
Point 4
Models nerfed...Nerf Blow Pipe aswell/
(cbow since its harder to get nbow shouldnt be equal in power)
[Point 5
Add more bases why?
Ol West doesn't have many players but if we have merely a few bases it means alllll the people join the same gangs whereas if more bases the population is spread making it easier for new people to claim one base because less players inside each base
Point 6
Make GP items cheaper + Weaker
Point 7
Make the fist stacked instead of fast only so it wont be abused to rush flags
Point 8
Add freebies if one takes a base like 3x cheap food, 250x ammo, 1 hr revive
Point 9
Bigger bases would make it more fun since it requires a little bit more skill instead of rushing,lagging,spamming gp/shotguns, healing
Point 10
Remove healing beds at BattleField and re-add healing water at Mohawk
Point 11
Mining at MH gives double mining exp, fishing at bf double fish exp, blackwood double firemaking exp...why? Because its like 2-3 rocks inside mh which also promotes mining + u get double exp for waiting times
Point 12
Make gp a turn-in activity
You collect gp through kills! Grab a NPC and he checks if you have any pk rewards/gp items(mainly the gp guns)! And it gives you the gp points. But! Kills of the same people are duplicates and wont be awarded gp by the NPC (must appear 2 different graalids in the list or itd counted as duplicate kills)! If you have gp items/pk rewards you will have from now on only ½ of the gp points...if you have for example cbow and models it will be ¼ and if pk guns 1/5.
Point 13
Its commonly known...spar is quiet since...basically almost ever! Perhaps award 4 gps per spar kill in streak spar to encourage "skilled" play
Point 14
At events option that players can choose either 10k GP or 1 HS/-CTF awards no hs pieces but only 1k gp from winning.
More stuff!!
Am just brabbling stuff...Dont mind the grammar it pops in I pop down it in words...?...!
7k Gang Hat kindoff Useless, for example second place GST was merely a hat...Gang hats in west became useless since there's over 20 gangs with 1.5k hours...Winning GST means you're the best of the best of west doesn't add up, anyway!
What if! Since we got no gas nor Dynamite (in shops) that a 7k gang hat/GST Champions Hat! That makes you immune versus GP Items!!! BUT! BUT! It also forbids one of using a GP item as well whilst wearing the GST/7k gang hat. Making it stand-out from ordinary 1.5k hats.
Final Note...Mainly add ping limit or lagging disables one from receiving gp + Make fist stacked so the speed wont affect the flag + No food (makes it fun)
On your question to make basing more challenging? 1. Do all the common ideas of mine and others memtioned OR....
Increase movement speed inside bases!!!!! For fast-paced play, where guns shoot slower to balance the speed and shotguns dont work.
To those that wonder why hs items are better then gp. Or that the spar guns are way better then the pk guns?
This is why
1.1 Pk means you can just randomly fire inside bases/-outside and get a kill, 0% skill required. If you look you'll see most top pkers right now are mainly always running+use food+(few cheat by vpn/lag)
1.2 Spar means you need 100% skill
(unless you boost or go against new players) whereas you have to win a 1 vs 1 with no running or healing and if you lag you get meleed and it counts as a loss. You have to be alert every match until you can afford spar guns. Simply more effort.
2.1 GP is similar to PK ... Just run inside Blaze out your guns and see it rain gp, hence ask any decent sparrer that guns are of no excuse! people can out match cbow or other guns with merely a starter pistol, it only means you have to put effort like spar and can't just spam mindlessly.
2.2 HS is similar to spar...(Exclusive) You have to win from all the other players competing for it, these are mini-games and in every game these award special items that usually are better then other rewards as you have to win for example 30 times that's out beat...80-100 people in a race? And if you're bad at races you practice and if you end up third always. Move on to pc it makes you a little bit faster in races.
The difference between these categories is all in the effort.
Pk gives you more targets and chances then spar/events whereas you die you cant run back and finish the job, no! You have to replay it all.
That's why Digging Events/Arena's usually has more Pkers/Basers
And GST/Spar Tourneys having the Event/Spar players.
