Synergy

-- [Clone Wars Update Changelog ] -- Date: 07/02/2022 [Added] [Updated/Changed] [Removed] Arrival on Onderon As most of you may have noticed from the recent teasers/trailers we have released with time, we are proud to announce the official release of our very first Synergy exclusive map. Onderon has gone through weeks of constant testing, pushing, and optimizing to reach a refined state for all to enjoy within the community. With thought put forward to appeal to the GM team, battalions, and players as a whole, we have dumped our hearts and souls into assuring it is as refined as possible. There is no single point on where to start in description, so we look forward to you all exploring the map for yourselves! To give that extra push for your ventures, we have a map key to assist in your journeys. Modular Character System Moving forward into a new era of role-play and character management, we're proud to announce our very own custom Modular Character System. This system will be instrumental in upcoming content and development to allow a brand new feel to how you play. With this update, everyone will have access to four character slots, providing they have VIP. The slots are as follow; Slot One - Clone Slot Two - Jedi Slot Three - Naval Slot Four - Bounty Hunters New DRG NPCs With the recent release of the DRG NPCs on main server, many of you may be aware of what exactly we are facing with this new system. Not only will this rework the style in which GMs host events, but with most certainly revamp how you as players find yourselves combating them. They are clever, versatile, and will keep you on your toes regardless of where you are. We have created and ensured multiple variations of droids that all function in unique ways to keep the action rolling. A full list of the new droids can be found just below. We look forward to your reactions on just how different they are! B1 Commander B1 Grenadier Commander B1 B2 B2 Rocket Variant Droideka Droideka Sniper Commando Droids Standard Commando Droid CQC Commando Droid Grenadier Commando Droid Sniper Commando Droid Commander Commando Droid Tactical Droid Super Tactical Droid Grenadier Super Tactical Droid Weapon Overhaul Something we have kept a little more hush for this update; the weapons have been overhauled in specific areas, not only for optimization, but to address and resolve issues like hitreg, weapons underperforming, and general bugs/concerns. Aside from that, things like the DPS tables, rates of fire, etc have been otherwise tweaked and optimized to fit these new changes and fixes we have addressed. This will be something everyone will be able to feel, and should hopefully serve as a refreshing change of pace! Note: If you find any bugs, please don't hesitate to report them through our bug report forum section as soon as possible so that we can proactively fix issues. https://synergyroleplay.com/forums/forum/36-cw-bug-reports/ Friendly reminder that the below steps will help you if you see errors after loading in: [ HOTFIXES ] Currently N/A

==========[ Blacklisting Rules & Guidelines ]========== Blacklists may not contain uninformative/inappropriate reasons (blank reasons, ‘not fit for X battalion’, undescriptive terms such as ‘minge’, reasons that use disrespectful language, ‘suspected of X’). Blacklisted individuals cannot be re-blacklisted for a prior offence they’ve already been blacklisted/banned for, or old offence (if blacklisted for MRDM, may not blacklist again for that same MRDM after time served). Blacklists may not be ‘no appeal’. Blacklists must have an issue date and issuer of blacklist (X High Command/ N/A not allowed). Active blacklists must be on a current battalion roster to be valid. Blacklists may only extend to 6 months of their initial issuance. 3 blacklists equaling 6 months or more in a battalion can result in a permanent blacklist with appeal. Permanent blacklists with appeal can be added to players who have caused irreparable damage to the battalion. Directors can be approached if an exception needs to be made for the Permanent Blacklists rulings. To transfer a blacklist to an-other battalion it requires High Command approval. Directors can be approached if a permanent blacklist needs to be transferred to another battalion. ==========[ Approved Permanent Blacklists ]========== To find the list of all approved Blacklists for unlimited duration, click here.

Community Ban Information For the sake of Community transparency, this thread will serve to house our list of users who are permanently banned from the Community as per the rule of the Founders. These people will not be unbanned alongside others in the event of our ban wipe that occurs every 6-months. If you ever find yourself on this list, you will need to contact a Management+ to schedule a meeting to plead your case and a decision will be made on whether or not you will be allowed to appeal to the Community. Most members on this list are here due to either an extreme amount of repeated offenses or offenses of a high enough caliber to warrant a permanent ban. This thread will be utilized by the Management+ with comments to update the community on permanent ban information. For the privacy & protection of the members below and members of the community, specifics will not be given as per the reasons for these bans however where appropriate, specifics may be given at the discretion of Management+.

Clone Wars Server Suggestion Guidelines and Templates Disclaimers: If you want a modification to a weapon/lightsaber then you must put the weapon string in the suggestion. Ex. tfa_e5 (You get the string from right clicking the weapon/lightsaber in the Q menu and clicking "Copy to Clipboard".) If a suggestion is denied, 2 server suggestion cycles before it can be posted again, If the same suggestion is denied on 3 separate occasions you must get permission from Senior Developer+ to repost the suggestion. Suggestions relating to a specific battalion must have appropriate approval, otherwise the suggestion will be automatically denied. Below are the battalions that require approval and the required rank. Certain suggestions might take longer to be looked at as the development team are awaiting further community feedback on those suggestions. Suggestions that aren't something that can be implemented by simply uploading something from the workshop. Bothering the community leadership and/or the development team regarding pending suggestions and its implementation time may lead to the suggestion being denied. Battalions may have a MAX of 1 sub-unit, so if you wish to add more then you must remove the current one. We are more likely to accept a change, if you are also providing things to give up in exchange. Ex. Remove 50 hp and gain 100 armor Denial reasons: (These are some reasons that your suggestion might get denied for.) Not providing sufficient information. Ex: Just linking the workshop and not giving us the actual model path you want to use. The addon's size is way too big compared to its content(s). Ex: 35mb for one model. Lack of feedback. Ex: Post has been up for 3 weeks and only received 1-10 votes. Majority negative feedback. Bad optimization and/or causes bad performance on the server. Having multiple suggestions within one thread. Bothering leadership/development team regarding a suggestion. Suggesting a previously denied suggestion within 60 days of denial. Suggestion prerequisites: (You are required to be this rank or received permission from someone of said rank in order to put forward a suggestion pertaining your battalion.) (If you do not have the permission from the battalion you wish to make a suggestion for, then you must receive permission from a member of management to post the suggestion.)

Community Development Trello Trello is a browser based application that will allow the upper echelon of the community to keep track of changes that need to be made within sections of the community. Access to add, remove and change items within these lists will be subjected to a small amount of people that will be trusted with the ability to handle suggestions and bug reports (roster of these individuals below). However, members of the community will be able to access the board to view the progress of items that are being developed and to watch the updates form.
