I like the reimplementation of pvp combat in war code, but losing a gang spot for losing respect/war is a bit much. Mandatory hospital time is better solution in my opinion. There will no longer be large gangs, and the smaller gangs will always have the advantage with more targets available. Also, there will not be gangs anymore with a wide range of players. This old war concept was geared towards one gang domination. The new code changed that....

You think you have whiners now, wait until players get hospitalized for days on end and lose gang spots. You folks out there that weren't here for the old code read carefully before saying woohoo....

Also, this old war concept was geared towards spending. The one equalizer was not being able to be attacked in anything less than fair condition. If you remove that, and you exit the hospital in serious or critical, now you will have no protection for traveling...you will be forced to eat nimbus before you exit the hospital, thus costing more money. Don't forget the many energy refreshes that will be necessary to fight off an attacker.


Some of the ideas out there are great....districts for non warring gangs....where you could choose the type of gang you are...warring, peaceful, criming, manufacturing....and each district had its benefits to the individual gang members. Like to have your hideout in the warring district would give the greatest bonus for combat, whereas in the peacefull districts you would war but not for respect.

The respect idea is great. Giving wars a meaning and having repercussions for both sides is most definitely needed. But, losing gang slots needs to be rethought imo.

edit: " Any win in a gang war will stop a gang battle and vice versa"

if that is implemented, i can see the combination of using gang points for refilling respect and being able to stop the battle/war with either system might work.
