Rapp

4/4/5 Overall it was alright. I liked getting lost in the sewers with Xaze and the last bit of defense was fun. I wish there was a bit more direction or intel since this map was very large. Thank you GMs for taking your time to make and host the event.

Gameplay: 5 Care and Effort: 5 Server Performance: 4 Great event. I had a fun time running with the recon team and forging our own path into the base. I took off a point for server performance because there were a few sections where the it was very laggy. However, the performance was the best I have seen in a long time. Great event, lots of fun.

I'm rather new to the community but I have a few friends who have been around for a long while. So, here's my take on the server and the player base: Server performance - performance is spotty at best. I understand that when there are 80+ people on there is going to be some lag. However, sometimes the lag is so bad that it makes it impossible to enjoy my time playing. From things like certain force powers not even being recognized because of the lag or accidentally shooting someone when they were no where close to you just removes all fun. The massive update - I think an update was needed. It was nice to finally change maps. I know the devs and the staff team worked very hard to get this update out and some of the new features are great. However, the update broke the Jedi progression system. Although this was fixed, there are still no active drops of hilts, mods, and crystals. This really stinks for someone like myself who pretty much mains their Jedi. I think that a lot of people believed that the update would magically bring the server numbers up and it might have temporarily but I think the retention of players falls on the community and not new updates or content which I will touch on in my next point. The community - I am going to break this up into a few parts because there is a lot I would like to say here. Roleplay - Why is rp so discouraged? On my Jedi, my master and I rp every time we are on. Both with one another and with others. I keep seeing a few individuals who are crying out for better rp but it overall seems to be discouraged. There have even been a few instances where people have actively refused to rp with me and have made fun of me trying to rp. I don't get this because it's supposed to be an rp server. It just seems that no one really cares anymore. This needs to change if you want to keep a good player base and not replace it with a bunch of minges. The elitists/gatekeepers - So much of this. I'm happy that you are the fictional rank of Colonel and you are an ARC trooper. That's neat, truly. However, when I ask you for information on how to obtain or reach a certain goal I shouldn't be met with hostility or outright ignored. Everyone has to start somewhere and I am less inclined to try and achieve higher stations if I am just going to be put down at every turn by individuals already in those roles. You are to be role models and community pillars, not assholes. Now, this does not apply to everyone in those roles, of course. I have met some incredibly friendly individuals here who have helped me as much as they could. However, I have been turned away and looked down upon more than I have been helped. Debriefs - I have sat through a lot of these and many of them have been very unofficial or mingy. When everyone is called to a debrief, that debrief needs to be professional. I am tried of hearing officers walk up on that stage and yell/be obnoxious when they are shouting out other battalions/ promoting their men. More tact needs to be used at these debriefs as they are mandatory and you are essentially pulling the entire server to one place for this. Also, if there is ever another mandatory call to debrief so we can stroke the egos of the top richest people on the server, I will gladly leave this community. Bounty Hunters - What even is this job/faction for? I have never seen a bounty hunter do anything other than cause problems on the main base or start all out conflicts with the Jedi and Clones. This job seems like it's just an excuse to minge and kill/kidnap people when they have no real reason to do so. Care for new players - You are just essentially just thrown into the proverbial shit when you join the server. You are pushed into joining a battalion and when you do, not much else is explained. If you don't know much about military ranks or structure then you would be very lost. On top of that, there is no real explanation given to new players on what they need to do (rank and training wise) to reach certain goals they have set for themselves. Battalion Advertisements - I don't particularly mind them but they often get spammed and become annoying very quickly. I feel like there needs to be a formula for these however. Seeing advertisements for some battalions that are promising quick promotions is just dumb. I understand that these battalion want to recruit people into them to fill out their ranks but, they should advertise based off the uniqueness of their battalion and the special tasks/equipment they get not how easy it is to get promoted. Closing remarks: Overall, this is one of the better communities that I have been apart of on gmod. There are a lot of decent folk here who really care for the server, it's image, and RP. However, I feel like RP is on a steep decline and emphasis needs to be placed on both active and passive rp. If you made it this far, thanks for reading.

5/5/5 - Thank you all for letting me tag along. Great stealth op. Lots to shoot. Great group of people!

5/5/5 - The roleplay was great. The dupes were fantastic as well. One of the best events I have been to in a long time.

4/4/2 - server performance was rough

Gameplay: 5 Care and Effort: 5 Server Performance: 4

9/10. Best event (I've been on) yet. I liked the objectives and that it wasn't just shoot and kill everything. Very well done.

4/10. Very linear and short.

8/10 Wish it was longer

7/10 Not bad, a little bit lackluster but I think that was because of the lack of coordination between battalions.
