Gang Points

Howdy!

Basing on Ol'West, since release, never had any type of reward. Players have been complaining, saying basing is too boring, etc.

Now, exclusively on Ol'West, you can receive special points called Gang Points. Gang Points are rewarded to any player that is on-tag and inside of a base that the gang their in has ownership of. Every 60 seconds (1 minute) that the gang holds the base and there's a player inside, the player (or players) will receive a point. This makes it so only active players get rewards, and not the slackers.

Here's an example of how it works if you don't understand it already. I have a gang named 'Arnix'. I'm on-tag and I took over the base. My friend is outside cutting trees, but is also on-tag for my gang. I will receive a point every minute because I'm inside helping hold the base, but my friend won't because he's outside.

You must be thinking, well what do we do with the points? Well, I have the answer for you! We will be releasing a special GP (Gang Point) Shop where you can spend your points on special items such as: Another member slot so you can fit more members into your gang (above 25), items to heal your friends, etc.

If you have an idea on what items should be for sale, or an idea for Gang Points in general or how they should be obtained, reply to this thread and explain!

You can say showgp in-game to see how many Gang Points you have.

I plan on also releasing a gang spar where the winning participants from each match get a point or so.

Hopefully you all enjoy this!

Items that could be in the shop can be things that will benefit your gang when basing (traps, healing, weapons, etc.)

Some traps are already made such as poison trap, sticky trap, and a cute little mouse trap.

Basically the first two traps are liquids and can last a certain amount of time before wearing off on the player. Ex.) If the player were to walk over one of these two liquids, then it would effect them for lets say.. 10 seconds before going away.

The mouse trap is something related to Era's bear trap. When stepped on you will be held still for a couple seconds before moving again.

We need more ideas!  

So will the leader of the gang only be able to buy extra slots, what I mean is can you transfer the points you get from one gang to a different gang?

And will there be weapons to heal, or just little one time heal things?

Edit: Make a healing staff for like 10k points. (Heals you and others around, teammates obviously)

I'm thinking we should make a Gang Bank where members of the gang can donate points to it. The leader of the gang can then choose to buy upgrades that benefit the gang, and not the leader, so that there's no scamming or any problems.

The trap ideas are awesome, totally forgot that you sent me the images for it haha.

Healing items are great. I think as a weapon, like the heart staff thing from era.


Edit: Make sure you tell your friends on other servers about the basing rewards. I know a lot of you from other servers have been looking for rewards like this for a while.  

Also, I was wondering.

Let's say if I were in Gang A and earned 10 gang points in it. If I were to move to Gang B, could my points be used in Gang B? Or would they only be in Gang A?  

I think you should sell exclusive hats for 2k gp

Also make a leaderboard or something idk
 

I agree With the idea to have a gp bank for each gang. That the leader accesses and members request to spend points and if they are trusted or granted permission they can buy stuff. Also gangs Should earn points every week for holding spots on skill leaderboards.

Things that should be in shop would be a 4 person gang wagon. Healing weapons. A CANNON that takes 2 members to use in a base or anywhere. Sell boost like move faster for x amount of hours or more exp.

P.s. did this on my phone dont be hating on autocorrect@Alpho  

i havent really started playing because i donthave the time atm but I like the fresh ideas that are going into this server.
Im guessing unixmad would be in charge of this but can they make ol west+free for a week or something like they did with iclassic and zone and era
or just make it stay free like every other graal game because if some person never played graal but looks it up and is on the app store looking at the different mobile graal games the person will most likely not get ol west first because it costs money for the + version  

The idea sounds nice but there are cons in it..
i.e. just repetitively joining big squads that hold bases and chilling in base(not doing much/afk) and earn points..

Also what about these little gangs (few members) how are these rewarded maybe the less players you have online in guild while holding a base then you earn slightly more points
[1-5players on 3every minute]
[6-10 on 2every minute]
[10+ =1point each min base held]
(THIS IDEA would encourages lots more to base/pk and makes the bigger squads think about noob-recruiting cycle)

It's entirely up to the player, it's not dependent on the gang at all. The rewards that the player receives are theirs and they choose what to do with them. They can put them towards another gang, donate them and give back to the gang they got them from, or use them for personal items.

Special flashy and attractive hats for sale would be nice
Yes! A leaderboard for the most points would be fantastic. Top 25?

I like the idea of a mount / wagon that carries more than one person. Perhaps we can take that idea even further and make upgradable wagons and such?! Someone please reply to this idea, I feel like it can get really great! A cannon would probably be really OP? Would one person control the rotation and one person control when it shoots? haha! I like the boost idea, though it would have to be very limited.

Well, it's up to the leader to kick the slackers or whatever. I really don't think they'll get far from slacking or being afk, since you can't really trade points or anything to other members.

I don't know about the different amount thing. I think it's fair either way. Unless you all think otherwise?

Also, thanks for the rep got my 2nd bar finally!  

Do you have an estimate on how things are going to cost? Like the difference between things like 1 time use, traps for example, and let's say a weapon?  

Saying "showgp" in-game will bring up your total gang points.  

Make sure the weapons, traps, etc aren't trade-able. I also advise you not to make a gang bank, because the leader can have let's say 3 extra player accounts along with their real one on at the same time. The leader basically gets an advantage by having 4x the amount of gp for very few effort. Also, leaders could charge their members 25% of their Gang points to stay in the guild or rank up faster. Unless you wouldn't mind these things, then you shouldn't add a gang bank.

Oooh sounds good. When will the shop open and when will the leader board come up?

I'm thinking we should make a Gang Bank where members of the gang can donate points to it. The leader of the gang can then choose to buy upgrades that benefit the gang, and not the leader, so that there's no scamming or any problems.

There's still some flaws on this though, the leader won't be able to scam gang points for themselves and buy their personal GP items but they can still scam members for gang upgrades by promising to give something to a member if he/she donates points to the gang bank. After that, the leader can buy the upgrades for their gang then kick the member who donated.
