HOW TO REDUCE GHOST LANTERN SPAMMING ROYALS IN SILENT SCHOOL!

Hey guys, JustLeafy here, and I have found one of the few major problems in Pixel Gun 3D, and one of them being the ghost lantern spamming royals.
You might not know who they are, but I'll fully describe them here: ghost lantern spamming royals are a new type of players in PG3D, which are usually a combination of the two worst types of players: tryhards (before, multiple OP weapon spammers, now, Ghost Lantern) and daters. (Teacher: Hey class, what is tryhard+ dater? Kids: Ghost Lantern Spamming Royal!) But seriously, now that you know, let's tell you how to reduce them.

How to reduce royals from competitive servers:
You know, in Silent School, don't you usually find these type of players? They no kill, date, and become a tryhard when anybody, and I mean anybody, tries to kill them. The exceptions could be their "pro royal friends", because sometimes they fight themselves to become the "best clan ever". All they spam now is Ghost Lantern in the main hallway with endless dodging, making primaries, if not all of the weapons except the most OP ones, being something too weak to encounter these type of players. Well don't worry, I will tell you how they should be vanished.
  • First of all, remove Silent School from Deathmatch. If you like this map and you are not a royal, I'm sorry, but this must be done, because these players must also be done with. Silent School should turn into a less creepy place, renamed to Happy School and put into Sandbox, or maybe keep it the way it is, but in Sandbox.
  • Remove clan leaderboards. It is one of the few purposes why royals play PG3D.
  • Sandbox should be deleted from PG3D, but however, it will still be in the Adventure menu. It you tap on Sandbox, it will automatically lead you to install a free app which is Sandbox mode itself. That way, royals, and not just them, but most of the daters would leave PG3D and move to that app.
"But JustLeafy, what about other players using the Ghost Lantern?"
Well, good question. Some royals may not completely quit PG3D and would come back to spam the Ghost Lantern, and other inexperienced players may spam the Ghost Lantern and all, but we got a solution to stop the Ghost Lantern spamming.
How to reduce, or completely remove Ghost Lantern spamming:
There are three solutions. Either:
  • Default ammunition should be 1 with a maximum of 4 in reserve.
  • After firing each ghost, there should be a "Reloading" feature.
  • Completely remove the Ghost Lantern. By meaning completely, I mean remove it from the game. Previous owners will no longer have it.
Thanks for reading!

now this sounds pretty good, but we know Rilisoft wont see it :\
regardless, you got some pretty solid points here, i personally think sandbox is a waste of resources and memory.
and for the time being, my current answer for your whole thread will have to be...
Let's hope Exxotik's video does something that mines and others didn't.
 
You should paste that into Rilisoft's Facebook page. And send it via their inbox.

Do it, I wanna see the replies. @_@

Alright, since some fans are royals in their FB page, I'm gonna do it. Royals will get triggered easily. ( ͡| ͜' ͡| ) In addition, I also posted Exxotik's rant video where the comment baits RiliSoft, saying that it's a vid about a guy who will spend 5K$ on PG3D along with an average "like if" YT comment, which says "Like if you want this game back (PGW image)".
P.S. I'm Swegz Filberz in FB.

Anyways, Ansoa, since you rant about PG3D, why not spread this post and Exxotik's vid?

tbh, the game is past it's play by date, it's stale, you gotta find a new game.

True, unless you set up custom games with friends and set your own rules then there is really not much point playing anymore.

Anyone who plays the game for 5 minutes would see how a weapon like the ghost lantern would be abused and make gameplay considerably worse, unfortunately updates are based on adding new weapons to encourage more spending instead of ensuring that they also improve the quality of the game.

What is this Royal?

I've already described them. They are players with over-fancy fonts and shaded skins who no kill and spam the Ghost Lantern on any killer. You can easily find one in Silent School.

I think he means that they are the worst offenders of spamming the ghost lantern, but I'm not totally sure.

Yeah, since they spam the Ghost Lantern with endless dodging, it makes almost any other weapon weak to encounter. You also need a one shot kill weapon other than the Ghost Lantern in order to kill them.

Any other opinions, suggestions, questions??

How the ghost lantern can be further nerfed....
1. Bullet radius should be decreased. Sometimes I predict it coming and move in advance, but I still get hit by it somehow
2. User should have to "charge" it before they can use the weapon. This allows more people to see the weapon and act appropriately to it.
3. User's movement speed should be decreased. So that they can't just walk into your face and shoot it
4. User damages himself when using the ghost lantern. Maybe a 20 damage to yourself?
 
I disagree with two things: removing Silent School and Clan leader board.
Like Daters, these sorts of players are a community problem but Rilisoft doesn't help the cause. If Sandbox and Ghost Lantern was removed from PG3D this wouldn't be as big of a problem.
I myself like Silent School as a map and i like the eerieness and spookiness it has, not to mention it is one of the surviving old maps that are still in the game besides campaign. I don't like the idea of changing it up and putting for sandbox only. It should stay on DM, and a modified one can be put on Sandbox.
Also if the clan leaderboard was removed it would give even less purpose to clans. I don't care what happens to player's leaderboard but I like having the clan leaderboard because it gives some motivation to clans.

Clan leaderboard doesn't seem that useful, since you receive no reward, but about clans, we would make a new mode called 'Clans Wars', which is basically DM but the only teams are clan members associated in only one clan. No close range maps, or maps with short hallways. That way, clans would at least have a bit more of a purpose.
Even if Silent School was removed, at least it will still be in Campaign. You know what, let's make Silent School exclusive to Co-op Survival, remove the chat in Co-op Survival (chat seems to be pointless in that mode) and that way, we wouldn't see that many royals being tryhards on us, and less no kill servers, because the royals will be forced to kill the monsters.
Are these good enough now?
 
The ghost lantern damage should be seriously debuffed. The area damage is massive, but it's really slow so i can kinda deal with that. The thing is, this thing can one shot you if you're wearing the mech. i also do not think that it should be only 115 gems. This thing is OP. It should be renamed "Bane of Fun" or something and reprised at around 200 gems.

Just forcefully remove it. By meaning removing it, do not just remove it from the shop, remove it from all of the players who own it, and they will be refunded with 60 gems.
