What do you think about this idea?

Great idea!
No need for it, leave it how it is.
I don't like the idea, just lower the bank limit.
Make it like it was a few years ago, bank reset after logging off.
None of these, I've got a better idea.

getting old, tested LW gameplay back
« on: May 25, 2010, 08:03:36 PM »
Ok, it’s a big suggestion, details are in green.

* The advantages of this change happening
- Bringing back to LW pirate ship fights (basic way of making money)
- Bringing back to LW fights for properties (trials to kill the guy, who keeps buying your property)
- Bringing back to LW hunting for rich people(you press tab, to see who have got x0000+ $ and try to kill him in any possible way – also unfair ways, life is life)
- Increasing the value of money, as it was a long time ago (you will cry from happiness when you would kill a guy who had 20k with him ;D )
- Might bring back to life features, that now are not used: turf wars, rampages, bounties, pirate ship (because you will need to make money all the time)
- Making ppl care about their money instead of caring about their stats (you will run not because you don’t want to die, you will run because you don’t want to loose your hardly earned 7000$)
- Making the gameplay dynamic, variable during the time (poor ppl at the beginning of the week, rich ppl at the end of it)


* The disadvantages of this change happening:
 - Some people may prefer the  game how it is now, without caring much about money
 - Newbies can get confused when they money will disappear


* A summary of the changes that you want
  Reseting bank accounts like it was a long time ago, but not everyday, just every week so that people can have some fun with the cash they have earned. Details below, in green.



So, now you are wondering what he is talking about. Well, I’ve been thinking about this suggestion for a long time. I haven’t posted it before, because I wanted to wait and see how will the current situation develop. There were agreements, declarations of clans, players etc. etc., but they have not made anything. I’ll say it clearly: in my opinion the only way to bring LW up again is to bring old gameplay back. Not all the gameplay, but it main rule: the money, you have just earned will disappear very soon.
Ok, shortly: I want a compromise between the old LW (when you were loosing your banked money everytime you disconnected) and the new LW. Now ppl are bored, because after 2-3 months u can reach everything on the server. But I remember also the disadvantages of the old system – when you wanted to play LW you had to sacrifice at least 2 hours for it. Otherwise it didn’t have any sense, cause you won’t be able to even buy some good weapons. The reason of it is that 1 day is not enough to see even 40% of the game features. But wouldn’t a week be enough? I want the bank accounts to be reset after a week. This will make people care about their money, like they did before, but it will be also possible for them to make millions. It would be cool too if they will be able to use the money they have earned to buy “spawn money”, that they will receive at the beginning of every new game period (but very, very little, like for 1 mill u can buy 1k to help you at the start of new period).

Many players will say that I’m crazy, that it’s a stupid idea, that making money that you will lose in a week has got no sense, but believe me – making money, even over and over again, makes you much more happy that making money once, and just having it. Money have to move. Rich people have to be hunted. Pirate ships have to be crowded. Turfs have to be controlled. Properties have to be bought. And finally – gangs have to roll.

Not a bad idea .. largely agree with you, just think of poor players [beginners] not weapons, money, experience needed to get away with money or buy property  :o ... It will be very hard for them to make money even more, if the world will be without money when poor automatically make some bucks as a beginner, it will be searched for and killed ... I say that for us who know we should go with experience so this change...But for beginners I see a total disadvantage. My opinion   ???

I don't like this, going back that far wont be fun. I made some other suggestions like lowering the bank limit and adding more props, hopefully that would be sufficient. -1

Scott, do you really think it will change anything?? :/ For 100k you can buy full set of weps (ok with sniper about 130k). Once you will have your bank full all you have to do to keep it full would be buying props (you will have about 850k for it). People will still be sitting at nam and talk, while their money will keep increasing, instead of fight each other.
When they will have no money, they would have to go to the ship to get this minimum 20k for a small prop. Then buy wep. Then look for rich people to kill...

My opinion: It will bring a lot of acion in LW.

Oh and more props will just change one thing - people would not have to fight for props... Is that what we need?

I do think so, because 1million forces you to earn back the cash more regularly.

Yeah, buy when you've for 1mill, getting another one is not a problem. Even when youve got 200k it's not a problem, if you avoid fights.

But you still have to stop and earn the cash, and since more people will be doing so at the same time, it'll be a harder thing to do.

See my post in the other cash thread:

Quote from: Chainer
I can see this going one of two ways:

- It'll make the competition more fun as you have to work more for your money, OR
- It'll make regulars join less because every time one plays would require a pretty big time investment in getting money, etc. People won't bother joining for short amounts of time because it just isn't worth spending valuable money on guns for only 30 minutes of play.

Edit:
Also, the advantages section in your OP is extremely misleading. This change would by no means return us to a crowded server, which is a prerequisite for things like lots of turf wars, 5-10 people on the ship, etc.

Hmm who cares about money these days ?! You get spawnwepps: uzi + sawnoff. What do you want more ? I don´t buy wepps today. The spawnwepps are enough for me.

So I don´t care about reseting the cash. But I have to agree: Nobody cares about cash. Every regular is a richman !

I had to laugh xD

it would be nice if you could set a lower bank lmit, but not to reset it to 0..
as Scotte said i think it would be enough to let u bank maximum 1 million or something, so u have to earn cash in short time to have it in the next logins
