  7. The terror of Sith Lord Conrad

    in Events

    Posted

    Just gonna leave some constructive feedback for both GMs and players, despite not being a part of this event.

    1. Events are for the playerbase and playerbase alone. EJs having fun is nice and all, but it should not come at the expense of the playerbase. On top of this, the design of an event should always keep the playerbase in mind. Does the group prefer RP over shooting, shooting over RP, or a nice mix of both? How likely are they to get frustrated with certain challenges? How much communication do they need to understand what is occurring within the event. Keeping this in mind will be a great way to ensure that as many individuals are satisfied with the event as possible.

    2. Additionally, take into consideration the restrictions placed by the map in use, whether it be main server or event server. The map is one of the least controllable variables of an event. You are stuck with all the features of the map,no matter how good or bad the map is. To control the map, you have to use props, objectives, NPCs, EJs, etc, since popping open the Hammer editor is more stupid than assuming someone is good at PvP because they bought the 17m shotgun. A good example of a bad map feature is the warp system. It is slow, requires typing to use, people get stuck inside each other really easily, and most warp points do not have cover around the LAAT and so can be easily camped, which can be quite frustrating when travel times are taken into consideration. 

    3. Players, if something is going wrong, communicate it. One or two sets of eyes may not be able to see the problem one individual out of 40+ players is having. Obviously, if the GM does not respond to said issue, that is a whole other can of beans, but if you never communicate that something is wrong to the GM, how are they supposed to fix it? Acting like a toxic asshat is the exact reason why some battalions don't get deployed. GMs are doing the equivalent of volunteer work, and are not required to take abuse from prissy bitch e-boy #45. The best events I ever had were because a couple of players pointed out, RESPECTFULLY, that they had issues with thing 1, 2, and 3, and I fixed it for the next event. Easy peasy.

    In summary, there are two sides to events, the playerbase and the GMs. Players, don't be dickheads. GMs, don't be dumbasses. Nice and simple.

    We're not renaming Shadow Company, we're just replacing it, since everyone always get confused with "whats the point of shadow company they don't have their own jobs!!!!111!!!"

    However everyone here mass -1's a good ass idea because they only wanna listen to one person and be delusional and lunatic instead of actually seeing OUR issues in the battalion. Nonetheless even reading what our suggestion is. With this new unit will come new armor (models) for 21st, and it will make Jet's unit stand out from SO even.

    We are utilizing Jet in lore and adding his unit and by doing so we will replace SC.

    "We're not renaming Shadow Company." 

    -Yes you are. 

    "everyone always get confused with "whats the point of shadow company they don't have their own jobs!" 

    -It doesn't help when there are at max 2 active SC at one time, hence why me and Slak worked on an actual tryout to make it not a inactive mess

    "they only wanna listen to one person and be delusional and lunatic instead of actually seeing OUR issues in the battalion."

    -Aren't you only wanting to listen to one person rather than listening to all the feedback people are putting in?

    "With this new unit will come new armor (models) for 21st"

    -Have you contacted a modeler? Talked to anyone that deals with models? Last I heard (when I was still in the bat) we never got our models we were owed after winning BvB Season 2

    SC doesn't have a lore commander during the clone wars and Jets Unit was actually seen in 3 episodes of the clone wars. SC is dead. No one likes it. Jets Unit would Give the LORE Character Commander Jet his LORE Accuracy. It would give others in Spec Ops as a whole something cool to look forward to.. For the people to shit on my idea and my work to make the battalion a better place for all your just honestly very rude. You don't see what happens behind closed doors in the battalion. There's a reason that this Idea was posted and sadly it has to go through the community who not all are in the battalion. Therefor not all of you understand the struggles in SO and the Drama with SC. The 21st Is on board with Idea and I'm tired of being shitted on for anything I post. I guarantee if Oxen put up the suggestion that it would get more +1's than mine would. So many of you are just so controversial for no reason. I put my blood sweat and tears into my battalion and all I get out of it is just massive disrespect.

    "Jets Unit was actually seen in 3 episodes of the clone wars."

    -Yeah, that's called SO. That is what everyone calls Jet's Unit.

    "Jets Unit would Give the LORE Character Commander Jet his LORE Accuracy."

    -Okay? You want lore? Get a Commander Jet Job. Done. There's lore. 

    "It would give others in Spec Ops as a whole something cool to look forward to."

    -This was the point of SC, what stops Jet's Unit from being just as dead? New models (that probably won't come in the first place) only attract people for so long, and I guarantee that they won't give Jet's Unit both Cloaks and an extra piece of equipment on top of branch loadouts.

    "You don't see what happens behind closed doors in the battalion"

    - Considering how previous members literally shut down a previous iteration of this idea, the fact that you waited for them to leave the battalion before posting the idea again is some shady shit

    "Therefor not all of you understand the struggles in SO and the Drama with SC."

    -Oh trust me, I know, and you should know it very well yourself.

    "I'm tired of being shitted on for anything I post. I guarantee if Oxen put up the suggestion that it would get more +1's than mine would."

    -Yeah, it would, cause people like and trust Oxen. 

    "all I get out of it is just massive disrespect."

    -I swear, I hear this phrase every single time someone posts a thing and gets feedback on it they don't like. I wanna do a callback to a conversation me and you had back when you joined SO. We talked a lot about ARF and ARC, professionalism, that type of thing. But the main thing, was respect. There were two things I know for a fact I talked with you about, although it moreso applied to some NCOs at the time of the conversation. The first, is that you don't need to be an officer to get respect. Self explanatory. The second though, apparently not. The second is that respect is never deserved, never given, but always earned. Earn respect, and you'll get respect.

  11. Jet's Unit

    Nah mate, this is the exact thing that I was against when in SO.

    First and foremost: You already have KU, SO, and SC (which SC is now empty save for legacy members) and ARC is really the main job people in SO go for, since ARF is decent but doesn't give much for RP other than Recon, and Medics are, well, medics.

    Secondly, why? Why do you NEED Jet's unit? Jet's unit WAS SO. Take care of SO and SC and there is literally no reason for a Jet's unit. If you replace an empty branch, what you get is a new empty branch.

    Finally, making Jet an named ARC Job. Did you contact Rancor about this? Changes to ARC jobs like that should be discussed, just like the old concerns with the KU Assault trooper back when they wanted to require ARC training for it.

    You need to learn to take situations in context and chill when it comes to dealing with issues. Activity also hasn't been the best (still waiting on that meeting from a month ago). You've got experience in fixing things, and if you can apply that to yourself, I'll give ya a +1. 

     

    For now though, it's a -1. You know why.
