  1. The code for the disintegration already exists for the fifth shot (assuming the weapon is coded in gLua), and if anything, adding the disintegration to all shots would simplify the code to that weapon, since it currently has to check the state of the magazine on the killshot to determine whether or not to apply the effects. If changed to be applied to all shots, it removes the if statement. Coding Examples: (syntax will prolly be wrong, this is just to show the process) Current Code- ammo = 5; onKill : if(ammo>1) [ ammo = ammo -1; ] else [ applyEffect(disintegrate, killedPlayer); ammo= ammo - 1;] New Code ammo = 5; onKill : applyEffect(disintegrate, killedPlayer); SInce the disintegrate effect is tied to the combine energy ball, I believe the multiple effects that are mixed to make it are bundled as a single function/effect
  2. +1 Would be very useful for small, RP focused dupes or other similar things
  3. Isn't 3rd winner from when we were on Titan base?
  4. Name: Merrill / The Mayor Helpers: Friskie, Snadvich Encounter Name: War Preparations Description of Encounter: The Mayor of Sanctuary communicates with the Anaxes Base that his Peacekeepers have detected weird signals from the region. They had triangulated one of the signals to a region just outside the Crystal Caves, and believe the signal to be CIS in origin. As the first site is investigated, a bomb and an EOD crew are found, planting it in preparation for a future assault. A medium sized transponder sat in the area as well, and allowed the Peacekeepers to track the other locations for the GAR. GAR responded to the new sites and defused the bombs at other sites with varying degrees of success.
  5. Wasn't present for the event, but I will say this, do try to proofread your recaps for the AARs. Good grammar and clarity makes it much easier to read
  6. Sad because at 2:09 they didn't acknowledge that SHD is a thing Also, how'd you make that, that was good chuckle
  7. Fenrir is right on this, and tbh, your responses show a lack of familiarity with how to deal with problems during your events.You have two options to deal with potential problems: In character or as a staff member. As a staff member, you can and SHOULD respond to any form of confusion or rule breaking as quickly as possible, through answering questions or RAOSes on those who need it. Not doing this says to the playerbase, in the moment, you don't care about what the individuals are doing and are giving them a free pass to continue acting the way they are. As I recall, you continually complained in staff chat about it being metagaming. Instead of complaining, you could have spent that time warning individuals or RAOS if need be. In terms of IC problem solving, change the story. If players expect a certain course of events to occur due to the reputation and history connected to the chosen EJs, then change it. The fact of the matter is, your event fell into the same stereotype that always occur with Senate Commandos: horribly poor at their jobs and corruptible by outside forces. This is something even seen in the show. In all honesty, you should have expected the clones to be immediately not trusting of the SC. This is the best advice I can give you to help you improve, as someone who always looks for new ways to improve events. Everything in an Event is the GM's fault, the good and the bad. It is never an EJ's fault, as a GM's instruction or lack thereof allowed the EJs to exist as they do. It is never a helper's fault, as a GM's instruction or lack thereof allowed the helper to work as they do. It is never the player's fault, as a GM's intervention or lack thereof allowed the players to play as they do. You can choose to be salty or you can choose to improve, not both.
  8. Name: Merrill Staff Rank: SA SteamID: STEAM_0:1:223673880 Length of LOA (Please specify date if possible): 1 Week 12th to 19th Reason: On vacation with the fam for a wedding, no real time for staff Do you understand that if you go LOA on a named Jedi Character for more than two weeks, go on LOA on any RC character, or go LOA while being clone commander, you will be removed from that position: Yes Do you understand that if you are going on LOA for more than two weeks you may lose your leadership position?: Yes
  9. +1 Yeah. yeah... Everyone else is saying what I'm thinking.
  10. o o f Come here my little commander report
  11. Pretty Well thought out, nice job. 8/10 Do you not know what the E-5s is? It is one of the weakest, if not the weakest, sniper rifle on this server. There is nothing less powerful
  12. You can't just make claims without any type of example or evidence bruh. Also like everybody on Synergy talks shit to each other, this doesn't add much of an argument anyways
  13. -1 I ain't gonna BS on this Bud. I love ya as Staff, but this ain't it chief. I will share the most important saying you are ever going to hear. You don't need to be a commander to fix shit. In this case, you don't need to be a Reg CMD, to fix the shit going on with 501st. Someone else summed it up pretty well saying that [ 501st, is probably in the worst state I've seen in my time on this server. Every single decision that I have seen been made has ether negatively effected the battalion or done nothing. TC was wiped, and no one no wants to join it cause the batt has 5 people at peak pop. 332nd is non existent as Guac said. being dead is not a stable position. ] Prove you are Reg CMD material by fixing your own shit before going off to "fix" other battalions shit.
  14. Alright, first off. I would like to point out that this re-app is about the same size as mine, and I did not see ONE single comment saying mine was a short app. If y'all gave me +1s, you can give him +1s for the size of the re-app too. (If its -1 for other reasons, go ahead) +1
  15. 9/10 Plenty of Player Choice Good spawning, EXCELLENT Last Stand and Exfil Fog was quite much in the beginning, led to some deaths
  16. To sum it up in its entirety: The DC-17m shotgun is a pay-to-win weapon in a game where "winning" gives you nothing but brownie points. There is no skill in the 17m, beside knowing that "shotgun no do far stuff". You pull the trigger, things close to you die. The DC-17m can be defined as a crutch, as it requires minimal effort to use, and is used as a "get out of jail free" card in any type of CQC situation, save for crashing ships or Rockets All in all, DC-17m is an OP Weapon, but the issue is, the DC-17m isn't the reason why people have a problem with the DC-17m. It's the people using it. Many users abuse the weapon for events, using it as an "RP Stopper" by excuting EJs or others in seconds, rather than go along with the RP Many users abuse it for PvP, knowing it is the ultimate weapon for CQC and very few people will have it or be able to counter it with the other downgrades. Some users act as if they are better than others at PvP or in general, purely because they are using a poor financial choice as a weapon. Frankly, the server would be better off if the DC-17m had more of the flamethrower vibe going for it: Wacky, fun, and debatably useful. Perhaps downgrading damage but jacking up fire-rate, making it akin to the AA-12. Or, increase magazine size, jack up the spread massively, and have it be the "vomiting bullets" gun. Anything could go, except for what we have right now.
  17. RP Name: Merrill / Wavebreaker Steam ID: VIP (Y/N): Y Age: 22 Timezone: CST What was your previous staff rank?: SA Are you currently staff on a different server?: No Why did you leave the staff team?: Not enough time due to work and school, plus burnt myself out Why do you want to rejoin the staff team? (3 sentence minimum): First and foremost, events. I miss the craving, the story, all that jazz, and I am bringing my groove back. Secondly, RP could use a hand with more creative builds and stuff (like the ship BigBoss built). Since Covid has me running a longer break from school, I got time to do what I wanna do with events without feeling crunched for time How do you feel your previous time as a staff member went? (3 sentence minimum): While I was good, I burnt myself out way too quickly. Being both HA and GMC at the same time not only took away my drive, but it took away my ability to focus on events. Events were an art form for me, as any peeps who remember my events from before GMC times would say, which is also what I would be focusing on with my stint in staff this time. 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
  18. I mean, this is dope as shit. Getting people to memorize is a pain, but if we spastics can memorize a bunch of formations we never use, we can memorize two words that we will often be using
  19. Apple and Beta was reference to old shit from BF5 AN basically stands for Anaxes, so Anaxes 1 and 2
  20. So, an actual response to the question at hand Outpost Apple and Beta Outpost Gamma and Ultra Outpost Hydro and Canyon Outpost AN-1 and AN-2 (more numbers can be included) Outpost Zeta and XRay
