Post your ideas that will fix the game below. Emphasis should be on player retention, as we have new players that come in and leave on a daily basis. Small esthetic changes, new gear etc. Secondary to fixing the game.

(Idea brought to you by those that came before me)

[HappyDays]

We need a complete overhaul of the four gangs and REALISTIC STATS to represent them. All the inactive accounts from lvl 80 to lvl 1 are clogging gangs and the true representation and their realistic activity and standing.  Can we get all the inactive accounts beyond a certain time point removed from being added to figures.

 

Also zorg said years ago he would remove accounts after they reached a certain time frame from gangs because before they used to be deleted and now they can't be. Can we put them in some holding area and if they return they move back into the main rosters.

Not saying whom, not publicly at least (cow gods know where to find me)  but there is a practice, a trial by fire, hazing, whatever you want to call it.  There are a handful of players that specifically target us lowbies in the WL with the sole intention of running us from the game.  This even had an effect on me, and on a few occasions I thought to leave, yet I am stubborn, and it's hard for me to back down from a fight.  But this fight isn't fair, I have no choice but to run or be killed.  Then a chase ensues, and I am  like a rabbit on the run.  Fleeing to the hive helps, after the initial attack, but still, it makes me feel unwanted.  I am a loyal HCS gamer, and I feel I deserve a modicum of common respect.  There is no respect in this practice.  It is bullying plain and simple and it's bad for the game imo.

I have been under attack likely by the exact same people, and it is a definite problem. It is like a gauntlet of hazing that in my opinion should not exist.

 

This is without a doubt bully behavior, and the major factor in bully's being bullies is because they are in an environment that support it. I do hate to say it, but Zorg's attitude related to this issue in the past was "WL is for AVs!", so no matter if he realized he was doing it or not, he approved of such horrible conduct. This gave the bullies a get out of jail free card that clearly continues to this very day. The same can be said about trolls (people just intentionally trying to get a rouse out of people for their own amusement/insecurity etc.). Legacy is a breeding ground for this sort of activity, as well as blatant sexism. We have a choice of saying "well that is just the way it is!" and putting our nose to the air, or admit that it not only hurts Zorg's bottom line, but it also effects our abilities to create a safe space for new players.

 

This is a problem.

 

I feel on this #WeThePeople Roadmap we need to find a way to address this issue with a creative solution. I am not sure if this will help or not, but perhaps if we have the Elders abide by a strict no bully or trolling policy, then be giving the ability to favor and disfavor, it might help the problem. That is if the Elders themselves don't have any trolls or bullies in their ranks >.> <.<

 

That is something I feel should be addressed in this Roadmap. With that said I will try this;

 

PROPOSAL: A strict "No Bully and No Troll tolerated Here" pledge Elders make, as well as the ability for Elders in good standing to be able to D-fave and fave. In addition this should mean that whenever someone is D-faved, another player is Faved (such as the person that spoke out? The person that was bullied?).

 

I add that secondary amendment to the end, as I fear D-favs were handed out like candy for quite a bit there which created a hostile environment.

Make  a Bounty Board for Legacy xD good way to earn extra money too similar to the one on FS. 

 

Prolly put a lvl restriction on it as well so that lower lvled players cannot be targetted in the hive by avatars.

@ Ninewonwon

 

That's a fun idea! I play a zombie game that has something similar to that. Can be fun.

• Gang balance - Balancing gangs via level and not by members would help, limit gang max lvl to avoid gang hopping.
• WFP weapons - Coming soon anyway.
• Huge Plat update - There is so much that could be added, impliment a plat store admin that can do weekly deals etc.

List of small updates that can tweek and help:

 

• Double fatigue for none avatar kills, for avatars.
• Double radiation for entering enemy sqaures in a 9 square radius of their base.
• Increase movement time in WL to 20 seconds.
• Increase move time with fatigue.
• No move restriction for lvl 50 and below.
• Increase daily revive to 3.
• New jobs.
• Lower Level weapon exp for none av weapons by -80%.
• Add a new hunting tier 80-85 that drops small and mediums.
• Allow hospital to stay open via platinum.
• Allow energy refill via platinum once a week.
• Inventory stacking.
• Multi IP accounts should not be allowed to be in the same gang.
• Cap platinum at 75c (LOL)
• Triple reputation and add new gang items.
• Make better gang loyalty rewards.
• Make 'Quick Information' on the main screen stand out more, you can't even tell when a vote is on.
• Add some of Rod's script to the game

All I have to say is yes, yes, and yes

So many awesome ideas here!

My only problem with some of those ideas ..well mainly one is the multi ip one... Me and Vinny are on the same ip because we live together. We are both in oc. I don't think we should be banned from being in the same gang...

Any more submissions now that we have Zorg's attention?

And remember, we have the Dev as well as a voting system. No need to fear making things worse, and even if we do, any change is better than no change at all.

 

We can do this!

[GAGANB]

When it comes to player retention, I think we need a small daily reward system put in place.

 

So each day, for the first hour a player logs in, every 15 minutes they are awarded a "gift box" from Zorg.

 

This could include a small amount of currency, credits, energy, focus, platinum or tokens. Randomly chosen of course.

 

Perhaps put some rare items into the mix, healing, pills, focus refill.

 

The options are pretty limitless here..

 

As there will be 4 "gift boxes" each day, the figures do not need to be large, but would help newer players, as well as giving something to the veterans, even if it is of little use.
