The fists literally the most pointless weapon in the game. You start with them, but you also start with a much better melee. They deal the least possible damage... Well, I have an idea. Instead of dealing health damage, implement a second "health" bar, a blue colored one. This, my fellow graalians, would be the stamina bar. Now, me go into detail about reworking the fists. Instead of the normal second stick fire button, there could be 3 buttons: punch, kick, and headbutt. Punching deals roughly 10 out of 50 stamina damage. However, it takes away 5 of your own stamina. Kicking deals around 15 and you lose 10 stamina. Headbutting deals a lot of stamina damage, around 20. But you lose 15 stamina, and upon a successful you damage yourself for another 5. All but the headbutt cannot bring yourself down to 0 stamina, only going as far as 15, so you should plan you moves carefully and not headbutt too much! The logic behind having 3 different moves is to make it less of a spam-fest and actually incorporate the necessity of strategy. Upon losing all your stamina, you get K.O.'d for 10(yes, 10. You're freaking knocked out, you shouldn't be able to get up a few seconds right after getting the living daylights beat out of ya!) seconds, and you "drop"(not from your inventory!) some gralats and a occasionally a nice stack of grenades or healing items. On rare occasions, quite a bit of gralats could be dropped, around the 500-750 range. This would give people the incentive to actually make use of this system. Every second when knocked out, you bleed for 2 damage. Now here is a sorta "optional" part of the suggestion: rework the starter knife into a new, fully gani'd switchblade. It could deal the usual 2 damage, but it could also deal 10 stamina damage and take away 5 per swing like a punch, as well as coming with the kicking and headbutting, so you could use it to K.O. someone with the intention of them taking bleedout damage. Also, upon being K.O.'d by a knife, you take 3 damage/second rather than the usual 2.

Oh, and of course stamina would slowly regenerate, maybe like one or two points per second.


And maybe there could be an area implemented where players are restricted to fists, so they can safely and consistently duke it out without having to worry about getting gunned down  

A good idea never gets recognized if everyone is just "TL;DR" and moves along. I know this idea is big, but it'd be nice if one of the 11 people that viewed this so far actually took the time to give feedback...  

Its a good idea lol.. so much math in there i didnt read most of it. Its more like ninja moves than street fighting xD  

Allow me . I love this idea! Insteading of just boring Pking you can do this which is more fun and unique. Great idea man very well thought out. I would give rep but I have no idea how to so ill just say it lol +Rep

Well, I sorta want everyone to be equal in terms of power in this.  

theres one problem with this though, the main problem is that everyone in era will own a gun, so if one person starts beating the crap out of someone else they will whip out a gun and people will then get into a street gun fight.  

Fist used to be the best basing melee. For doors and the flag.  

maybe you can click more actions>challenge and you can challenge someone to a fight. then you two can fight for a wager in the middle of the street.

then fking daggers were released. But not against doors, melees won that.

That's where the special fists-only area in my idea comes in.

You must be dreaming, there's no equality in a P2W game like era

Just because guns are Pay to Win doesn't mean everything has to be. We're talking a sort of diversion here; it's meant to be a fun alternative to usual combat. I'm sure even Stefan could find it reasonable to make sure no one is more powerful because they have more money to waste on a diversion. As long as Stephane doesn't try to manupilate his opinion on it...  

Pretty cool idea!!!! Love it! Maybe if considered, there could be some areas in Era where you can't use weapons and only can use the street fighting moves. It will be a blood bath.

Ooops I see at the end of your post you suggested a no guns area

Ha ha ha love this idea too. Great concept!

The only thing I hate about this whole idea is I didn't come up with it.
