Gears

Name: Gears Suggestion: Create a Serious topic section for specifically synergy topics. Why should we implement this? I think we get numerous posts on the forums that have little moderation when people are actually trying to have a discussion and about the community/server only for them to be hijacked by old members or people who dont really care. Now I dont want to come in as the "fun police", i think we have our fair share of trolling and joking on posts and I dont think we should preventing that. Just feel we should add a section for topics that usually get hijacked would benefit us and actually create better discussion. How will this improve the Forums? More proper discussion.

They know, everyone has the same issue atm. As far as im aware the EXP curve was just reverted back to the previous version and they will put it back to the new one when its ready to go. Any EXP your getting will still count when it fixes. Just patience I believe. Im sure a dev can correct me if im wrong or inaccurate

Ive been advised not to comment.

Yea lets just attempt to kill the factions last chance without it even starting. -1

Eh, I've spoke you a bit in the last year, I can only speak in my own experience and you were fine. +1

Im getting some strange dejavu here. Let's be real, synergy is built off favouritism and the best example should be looking at blazins jedi order which was Head and shoulders above many others. The truth is people only care about favouritism when it's the decision they don't want, otherwise they don't say shit. Hypocritical as fuck (and I'm projecting cause I'm guilty too)

Despite me being around when this was implemented, Ive always hated arbitrary names, title and ranks. Its like navigating a minefield working out which rank is higher. For the sake off avoiding headaches and keeping it simple, I really dont want to see this in game. Side note Jedi Sentinel Padawan Candidate <Name> is needlessly longand after talks with conrad privately recently, He makes good points about importance of ranks and the actual value of these ranks overall. -1 till theres actual reason to use these names. abbreviating it to K and P is just kicking the stone down the road.

Seems fine to me

Tell me you dont play on the server anymore without telling me you dont play on the server anymore. Right now the Jedi is one of if not the strongest section of the server. The highest pop of Jedi we have had in over 4 years, along with this we have Every Master Position filled and only 2 Knight/Padawan remain, 1 of which is in the process of tryouts and the other if picked by the character who is in the tryout process. We have proven for over a year and a half now we can take new characters and when we got them we went full steam ahead and almost got them all filled. These characters are also long tenured with atleast half of these positions being held for numerous months. So I think we can handle a few more, but thanks for your opinion comics, keep being you. +1

It seems like every time there comes a time to release a new exclusive weapon, it needs to be more powerful than the last one. Right now it's getting out of hand. When the first exclusive weapon, the mandalorian rifle came out it was completely busted, that resulted in its nerf. So it's not out of the possibility that these weapons can be nerfed. Also this is a very common weapons, its delusional if you think differently, I see 15-20 of these every day. As for the pay to win aspect.. sure, pay to win is unavoidable in alot of aspects. But you can't buy this weapon anymore.. I cannot PAY to be of equal strength, this isn't pay to win, this is Pay to Never Lose, as the only weapon beating you is the same one. So the dual pistols win every time. But when it boils down to it. This isn't about balance, this isn't about pay to win and this isn't about keeping people's privileges. We get on this server to have fun and if a single item is ruining the fun for a large population of this community then the owners of this weapon need to suck it up and quit with the mental gymnastics. We had this happen with the mando rifle when it was ruining fun. We had it with other weapons and we will certainly have it in future. This is not an exclusive issue to the dual pistols. Unless people get comfortable with weapons needing nerfed or buffed then we are not going to get a fun environment in the future. It's either nerfing it or accepting fun is going to be gone for alot of players and accepting GMs are gonna ban your weapon and ruining your own (I can't even use the scorched shotgun). +1. Suck it up. The terms say they can change items and they have done it before.

In the last 2 Weeks alone Within the 2 years before (nice) Theres alot to say about this guy, He baits people into arresting him and then cries and tries to get them voided (to some of which are successfull) but overall he is being downright hostile to authority and coruscant guard, Hes now taken this over to Jedi and its causing issues for us. I thought I could tolerate this as a CT is just a CT, But hes on the top% of people who get arrested. Granted SOME people are looking to get him arrested and will do anything along with painting him as the villain, but this is overall self inflicted. Hes not contributing to the servers "positive" enviroment and just leaves after 3rd arrest. An extended ban is needed here.

+1, Great Idea

+1 Lets unban this guy before the map releases!

it takes about 20 Seconds to get from Temple base. -1

I not usually one to +1 suggestions like this but due to the current status of shields this could make a good compensation to consider. +1

Lets be honest. The entire Jedi Force Power and Skill Tree system needs ripped apart and rebuilt. So +1 to any actual change to it

+1, But I would say change Guild Leadership to Civilian Leadership

I mean in the 3 I was involved in. Only 1 got to the end in a appropriate manner, which was the one I spearheaded as Director. The other 2 was 1 as HA (which was mostly just setting peoples health and the like) and the other when it was handed over to the GM Team who specifically requested to do it. So maybe your right.

Personally not a fan of it. While I would be for more events that arnt just your standard deployments. I think a tournament that lasts 8-9 Weeks isnt going to conclude well with the experience that I have had organising/overseeing it. Ive been heavily involved in the last 3 to 4 BVBs. The one thing that happened almost every time was about 3-4 Weeks in, Half the Battalions didnt care and motivation went south. If you ask me, The reason we didnt bring it back wasnt its toxicity, It was the lack of general interest in it and the amount of investment needed with the slowly depleting population at the time. It also didnt help when we handed it over to the GM Team, They gave it to someone who then gave favourtism to their own battalion for then as Management needing to step in and order a rematch between the 2 Battalions, at that point BVB was dead in the water and just ceased to function. Scheduling was a nightmare. Either you left out EU people or left out NA people, There was a struggle to get an inbetween. When you had 4-5 Matches in a day, The late matches meant the battalions with EU pop would suffer greatly. So when theres stakes for these matches were high, it didnt have much competitive integrity when the majority of the battalion couldnt participate. This can be solved by giving larger time slots. But you were in a tough position when scheduling a match between a Majority EU and a Majority NA. If you want this to work. At most it should last a month. Keep it quick, fresh and simple. Capture the Flag and S&D were flawed and without actual development of a addon, It will likely suffer the same issues. Protect the VIP just turned into someone hiding in a corner and turned into a standard TDM on the bridge. Elimination and TDM were the way to go. But personally I was more of a fan of the dodgeball and more minigames, They arent going to cause the issues we had in the past and just give battalions the time to have fun together. Toxicity, Its whatever, deal with it internally and fall back on the Chain of Command to deal with it. Even with all that I think just straight out bringing BVB isnt the best choice. I personally believe its a relic of the past that just needs to stay there. I think just giving more variety to the weekend deployments, such as similar game modes as suggested is a better way of doing it and stops people getting overly competitive over Gmod. So for me its a -1

Goes on a massive tirade towards people after banned and then begs for forgiveness? Retired people arnt gatekeeping you mate, they just call it like they see it. Toxic as fuck. They are entitled to vote on things like this as much as anyone. -1. (Reduce to 6 Months)

I mean it existing in our files isnt exactly hurting anyone. The Requirement is there, if we dont meet it then thats that. If then in the future do reach the pop, we already removed the battalion and have to do the whole process again. Surely this is more of a issue of it being Doom's Unit being hanged over us.. and not another battalion, Is the incentive being Doom's Unit not a good one, is there another battalion you would propose could be brought in if we reach pop. Your not thinking this correctly.. We need to reach an average pop for ANY Battalion to be added/reinstated.

Only really the Chancellors office and the one Senate bunk is used on the regular +1

I dont get this. I remember this being the golden rule for being ARF or ARC back in the day. You dont pull out your RPS unless you intend on firing it. This was routinely beat into your head so you understood it. Whatever happened to this standard. This Ban Appeal is a massive teachable moment, We should be stricter on fucking around. we need to bring back proper etiquette for pulling out weapons. Now id be a massive hypocrite if I didnt +1 this. Arroyo is a long time member, I dont personally believe he did this in a malicious way. But we just had my ban appeal completely unanimous (besides the shitposters) saying that it was an accident and my ban was too harsh, yet here we are again and suddenly people are changing their opinion? I got 24 hours, I deserved the 24 hours for not taking enough care and plus I caused a massive headache behind the scenes. But 5 Days? Seriously? I feel my ban is no different to this situation. This is Staff taking the max ban length and assigning it to every situation. The punishment guidelines say UP TO 5 DAYS, Why is an accidental MassRDM, who fucked around getting the same length as someone who would maliciously Mass RDM in the effort to cause an incident. Either Staff need to have their guidelines checked at or something needs to be done to the guidelines so that its not set to the maxinum ban length every time. The guy fucked around, found out and got shit on for it. 48 Hour Ban at most. Let them man free. +1
