    Putting it bluntly, as most of Synergy has a "I can do anything and everything" mindset for some unknown and unfounded reason.

     

    This rule is in place to ensure people don't stretch themselves thin and either burn themselves our or give themselves unneeded stress by trying to spin too many plates at once.

     

    This rule is mainly for the more important roles, as outlined above. These roles  require a high level of activity and dedication to the relevant faction. Many of the people who would have reservation about have likely not been in a situation where you are in too of these. 

     

    About year ago I was Bacara and a VA/HA. Both these roles took a lot of my time as staff needed me to monitor the whole staff team while Bacara needed me to monitor those in my battalion and those outside it.

     

    I have seen many people see position as titles or trophies to win. That is an incorrect mentality to have. Positions are proof of competency, the person above believe you can do it, it's not something given mindlessly and has responsibilities associated with it. 

     

    Every position has a different work load, so unless you have done them all, dont be quick to judge. The higher you go in synergy the more it becomes a pseudo job, for lack of better words.

    3 Decent Gameplay but I have seen that dupe before and the you leaving near the end kinda ruined the end.

    3 Similar to above, but a semi-interesting concept with the puzzle and everything.

    While I fully understand, A big part of Navy weakness I have seen is how much the faction has been nerfed when it comes to the power of the server, there isnt a single thing Navy has a leg up on clones and we want to work to fix this to make it inciting

     

    When it comes to fixing ANYTHING on the server, i am fine with saying my thought process is not to rely on the GM program to save their bacon everytime, the GM team as someone who used to be high up on it changes and mixes every month or so, forcing them things to make 1 faction happy wont do the trick, but giving Navy tools so GM can play will do better, GM program can die tomorrow for what we know and there goes functions of the servers, I need to make sure when it comes to changes that we are giving the power to the PLAYERS, which is partially why of the thesh idea, i cant rely on the GM team 24/7

     

    Navy are not respected on the base, every job can be done by a CPT+ and is walked over by any navy, this was talked to by members of Navy, why join when you have no power to control and manage the base when a half the server can just leave without PTL   this is just the first things me and Marvel want to change with Navy to make it more engaging for the player base, I cant just throw blame at the GM everytime a part of the server struggles, I will always focus on the day to day operation, us doing the PTL changes aren't the solution its not even the start of what we wanna do, but this sets the tone of what we want the direction to navy to be, to have respect and give the power back to them and give people a reason to join and get promoted in the faction

    with this we have been toying with a PVP idea also partially cause of player reason, we noticed players either fucking hate PVP or love it, and we want to have a way to have a place to have PVP while having a divide for the area, I dont see this as HC being out of touch, i see this as we are trying to tackle things we know the community fights about and work with the community to try to make it the best part of it.

    One of yhe underlying issues for Navy, which I half outline, is that they have very little to do and, as you said, get stepped on by CPT+ alot.

    Back on the Venator, Navy had so much to do and felt vital. Ever sooner the base maps they felt less useful and just decorated doorman

    HC has had some dumb choices recently but a designated PvP takes the cake.

    It'll just make the server feel like a Dark RP server or something else, also don't we want to Foster relationships with the BH, not just shoot them? 

    Take Thesh away just to be a mindless PvP area is the High or idiocrocy, same as trying to bolster Navy by preventing movement, especially when any CPT+ can just type granted. You don't join Naval to be a doorman. The only way I see for Naval to feel more value is if the GM program tries working with them more or if they get some sort of new unique RP that isn't tedious or annoying like bunk inspection and PTLs are.

     

    Idk, this is how I see it, but it feel like HC are a little bit out of touch, but maybe I'm being to critical...

    Right, The formatting makes me cry but I understand what you are trying to say and have had the pleasure to work alongside you in both GM/21st and 41st. 

    You are a hard worker who sometimes struggles to get what you mean across, especially in text. You are always happy and easy to talk to, but you are also firm when needs be and not just here to fuck around. 

    You are dedicated, honest and always someone I can talk to if I need to.

    +1 - Good Luck

  16. Cloaking removes notarget

    in Resolved Reports

    Posted

    Um, this isn't a bug - This is how the commands work.

    /cloak will no target you and set you invisible and do the opposite.

    The cloaking device is similar. But it's a simple switch, so if you no target then use the device then you remove no target and become invisible. (You might have seen some NPC shoot invisible staff members)

     

    Obviously they might fix it, but it is working as intended. Having it not do this may result in someone running around while no targetted.

     

    If the Forum mods get mad at me for responding to this, then so be it!

  17. Add ranks back for progression

    in Implentation Phase

    +1

    I don't know why it was changed but it now feels you move through the ranks way too fast and too easily.

    NCOs don't necessarily get the time to be ready for officer as they may get promoted to quickly, resulting in battalions become top heavy with high ranked NCOs waiting for promotions (this is not a general problem, but can occur as I have had to deal with it in the past.)

     

  23. False Information

    3 | 3 | 5

    Was meh if I am being completely honest.

    Simple or even careless story with minimal to no RP what so ever

    Was just a linear path with droids and tanks and a few EJs

    Clear a few building then move on, no nuance to it.

    Spawn points were terrible, often resulting in people getting stuck in death loops.

    A bit laggy, but that was expected.

     

     

    A very simple, safe and bland event, just follow the AT-TE/conga line of droids until told otherwise.

    Posted · Edited by Gadget

    RP Name: GM WO ARCO Gadget

    Steam ID:  STEAM_0:0:89827130

    VIP (Y/N): Y

    Age: 24

    Timezone: GMT baby!

    What was your previous staff rank?: VA

    Are you currently staff on a different server?: Nope

    Why did you leave the staff team?: I left the server, the reason was just complete burn-out and tiredness. I had played on the server a put my heart and soul into a lot of things and felt that I got no appreciation or even a thought about it. Felt like I was being ignored and just seen as the guy who did X and Y. I wanted progression but was stuck in a hump and just decided to distant myself and just relax. I was getting to annoyed at stuff that shouldn't really matter, but hey, I'm back now.

    Why do you want to re-join the staff team? (3 sentence minimum): I have noticed the staff team is lacking in some categories, namely some of the events being cookie-cutter and bland and a general lack of rule management and movement when events aren't going on. I assume this is due to lack of staff in my time zone or some other factor I am not aware of. I just want to help, as I said to Xaze, the server achieve the goals he has set out ahead and ensure the server and the community is prepared for this future in the best way I can.

    How do you feel your previous time as a staff member went? (3 sentence minimum): I was the rule monkey, angry old man and SA Dad. I would often get on to people and not be shy about my opinion on something. I was not against and would pursue punishments against those who broke the rules or caused issues. I was also a builder, building many building and boardable ships for people to enjoy. I was also a fairly good Pirate by the name of Cap'n Black Tooth.

    Do you understand by re-applying to get your previous rank back that you will be tested on your knowledge of the server rules and practices?: Yes.
