Today I would like to announce our S4 Private Server project which we have been work on now for like 6 months. As of now we are going with naming it "Pentaleague" for the lack of a better name, but we are open to ideas.
This server is very different than the typical S4 Server concept, we are using a completely custom packet format and an entirely new way for dealing with the game's logic. Using a "man-in-the-middle" type of system, we greatly minimize the amount of data sent to and received from the server.
Written in a multi-threaded, asynchronous, and platform independent C++ model based on the open source library which guarantees the best latency. Instead of the classic S4 Design (Auth, Game, Chat & Relay Server) we've merged all these servers into one which closes a lot of security vulnerabilities.
We plan to run the server with the motto of Free-To-Play, meaning that there will be no paid advantages over other players, like Force Pack (FP). Items with FP stats will be easily obtainable from the in game store, with basic skins. Meaning the only paid content will be more skins for weapons and boosts for PEN and EXP.
We also intend to add our own fully custom content into the game, a member of our team is already working on making this dream come true! Meaning custom skins, maps, maybe even completely new weapons!
The server is still in development and has no release date yet. We're open mindend for new ideas so we'd appreciate your ideas in that topic!
[Current Progress]
TCP management is done and runs smoothly
Auth server is done (+ MYSQL management)
Account informations for Game & Chat are basically done
You've mentioned that spending ap won't increase damage like FPs on the other hand you must provide other cool features for AP users, as few people will buy ap just for skin. Maybe a unique badge or name color as well as unique animation in the weapon, you want to make it fair game play however, you need to gain money for your hard work.
I believe that if you increase prices of unique weapons but guaranteed to be obtained would be much better, as sometimes members spend tons of ap on capsules and still get nothing.
S4 league recently has shitty clan system in my opinion, clan wars would be very unique if winners gain prizes after a clan war, for example, after winning 30 clan war, members of the clan gets special gift and prizes should increase as wins increase.
