Please Rate 1-5 on each of the below categories (5 being perfect, 1 being horrible) Gameplay: 2 Just shoot and droids and shoot and vultures really not much in terms of gameplay. Could have really used anything to spice it up like the droids having an objective to give us something more interesting then just sitting in MHB. Care and Effort: 2 Droids attack the base with no plan or strategy just throw bodies at the base and see if they give up. Honestly not much in the form of feedback other than they needed an objective or something other than just invade. Server Performance: 4 Nothing crazy here.

Please Rate 1-5 on each of the below categories (5 being perfect, 1 being horrible) Gameplay: 1 Least favorite type of event. Basically just run here and shoot things until they stop moving. Mindless gameplay. Care and Effort: 1 Would honestly rate as 0 if that was possible as there wasn't any substance to this event. Hard to even give feedback as terrible as this event was. Personally Comms RP with out anything else is just garbage. Server Performance: 4 Some stuttering from spawns but nothing out of the ordinary.

+1 If Bacta didn't write it was I about to.

Sorry about the oversight just fixed.

Please Rate 1-5 on each of the below categories (5 being perfect, 1 being horrible) Gameplay: 3 Great mix of droid tactics and how the droids were coming in reinforcement style was an awesome feeling . I feel it could have used more like side objectives or at least better communication regarding what the main objective was as I had multiple troopers asking what the objective was. Care and Effort: 2 The objective was very milktoast. Capture HVT and throw everything resource and every dead clone we have at them. I feel that this event could have used a planning phase to discuss tactics to make it more effective. Server Performance: 2 With events of this size lag is a given. With that said, with all of the droid spawns and props down it was having a adverse effect on performance. I think having the droids coming slower in like divisions of droids rather then just spawning them everywhere would help lag and would keep peoples attention focused.

Name: Bitter SteamID: 76561198047426244 / STEAM_0:0:43580258 How long have you played on the server? [Hours]: Far to long From 1-10, what would you rate your knowledge of the Clone Wars?: 9.5 + Why do you want to join the Gamemaster team?: Joining the gamemaster team would be a natural extension of my passion for crafting immersive stories and providing enjoyable experiences for others. My background as a Dungeon Master in D&D demonstrates my adeptness at world-building, character development, and creating engaging narratives that captivate players' imaginations. Do you understand that if you are inactive, you will be removed from the program?: Yes, I understand https://docs.google.com/document/d/15OG3seYzfGU7-hvxuSegfV92jvb8ldNcM6WdkjlT3RQ/edit?usp=sharing https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Py6boZiRWCaimkrj3J4gbC8WybEcmVRK5zXdD-7KWLg/edit?usp=sharing I am also still learning the planning process for event creation but I'm a fast learner and love a good challenge.

Please Rate 1-5 on each of the below categories (5 being perfect, 1 being horrible) Gameplay: 2 Gameplay was fine however, wasn't much to it other than shoot things here and then shoot things there. Could have used some RP to change up the just shoot enemies. Care and Effort: 3 I loved the concept of having Republic R&D testing to see if we could reprogram destroyed battle droids and that's the only reason I didn't give it a 2. If you could have fleshed it out further to connect any story bits or giving out a side objective to figure out the droids true programming. It was very close to being something I would have had more fun with. Server Performance: 4 Some rubber banding from the flying LVS vehicles but nothing out of the ordinary.

Please Rate 1-5 on each of the below categories (5 being perfect, 1 being horrible) Gameplay: 1 Honestly there was no substance to this whole event it was just run here shoot here. When there was even an objective. Care and Effort: 1 Not much to say about a late night deployment other than this didn't need to be a deployment! You could have ran this same event on main map and would have gone the same. Hard to even rate it as there was no substance. Server Performance: 4 Didn't really have any problems with lag or anything but that's because I was just walking around most of the time.

Rest easy now

I have been apart of synergy since about late 2017 to early 2018. I joined after leaving my previous server behind and wanting to join into a larger community than the previous one I was a part of. First day on the server I decided to join into 21st and met a lot of good people that I am still friends with to this day. I have given Synergy hours upon hours of my time and I have gotten nothing in return. It has turned into a one sided relationship and I can't do that anymore. I need better and healthier uses for my time so this is it for me. I want to be honest with you all and say that this letter has been one of the most bittersweet things I've ever had to write. It's not easy to say goodbye to a community that has been such an important part of my life. Over the years, I've made so many great memories and friendships with all of you, and it's hard to imagine not being a part of this community anymore. But the truth is, I've been feeling stuck for a while now. I've been trying to find ways to contribute and make a difference, but I've been spinning my wheels and not making any real progress. I've wasted too much time trying to figure out what my role should be, and I've come to the realization that maybe it's time for me to step back and let others take the reins. I want to thank each and every one of you for making this community such a special place. I'll miss all of you, and I hope that our paths will cross again in the future. To all of the hold outs still in synergy: @KaiserWilhelm @Gadget - I apologize that I couldn't continue on with you two. Wilhelm you have fantastic potential to be the force that 21st needs to continue on. Gadget I've known you for a very long time at this point and we didn't get along at points but I feel that your insight and opinions about 21st are just what it needs. I hope our paths cross again for the both of you. @BadDog - I am sorry to leave so soon after our chat. Thank you for all the insight and constant drive to wanting to make 21st a better place for all troopers. Continue being one of the greats. @Brooklyn - You and I got to know each other while being in SOBDE and I have enjoyed every interaction since. If I needed to choose who to be in a trench with and knew had my back it'd be you boss. Keep in contact and lemme know when to get on 76! @Tomm - I wish we had more time in 21st. Keep being a great Wrecker. @ETsilvian - Gotta get that chair under control. You've been a great Yoda and I really appreciate all of the times we talked. @Quassont - Lots of late nights full of stupid shit that made me almost fall out of my chair. Thank you for all the good times. Keep in touch. @KaiserNeiner- Thank you for all of the fantastic events. Keep the life flowing through Synergy. @Marvel - Was great getting to know you over our time in SOBDE. Don't drive yourself crazy. @Xaze - Time and time again your drive and creativity have pushed this community back into a state of greatness. Thank you for all of your efforts. Make sure to take breaks!

+1 Love quality of life improvements

Name: Bitter RP Rank: BCMD Suggestion: Currently the rank structure has allowed for people to stagnate in either SNCO or low officer ranks. As a BCMD one of the main struggles with the new structure is rewarding players for helping and playing the game. Work is a requirement for any of the ranks, problems with rewarding that work without over promoting and putting yourself into a corner is basically impossible. I think the best way to continue to reward good work, activity and allowing for better seeing progression is adding back a few ranks for this purpose. I have heard and have two ideas on the best way for this to help. Bring back two NCO Ranks and 1 Officer ranks This would even out the differences between the two as the current list looks like this Major Captain LT WO SGM SFC Sergeant The NCO ranks only have 3 ranks to rank work and to reward activity and prepare them for Officer Positions This is the adjusted list to allow for more flexibility and time negate stagnation in ranks Idea 1: 2 Commanders Colonel Major Captain LT WO SGM 1SG SFC SSG Sergeant The other way that it could be reordered is by adding 1 officer rank and 1 NCO rank and 1 additional commander slot Idea 2 : 3 Commanders Colonel Major Captain LT WO SGM SFC SSG Sergeant Implementation: Changes to backend things like MCS Lore: More Army Lore!
