Events are dogshit and they never happen

[Jorrdan]

I'm just gonna be blunt and honest. The last couple of events I have been in and have watched have been yikes. The ONLY time good events happen is when Ryan is on the server and that's like 1 good event and then it takes 2 hours for another event to happen and its usually not even that good. So far on a Friday fucking night, there's been 2 EVENTS. AND THEY WERE PASSIVE EVENTS. Like most events are a resident sleeper and have no RP, no unique building and no unique story. There's no more storyline events and to be fair the best events are done by Joah but guess what they happen once a week. I'm gonna be honest I don't know who the GMC is, I think Dragon BUT PLEASE DO SOMETHING. The Events have been getting shittier and shittier. Theres 123/128 on a Friday and there hasn't been an event in like 2 hours. LIKE MONKAS. 

Events fuel the Population and at this rate our server should be at fucking 65/128 cause of the lack of events and fun shit to do. Its fucking embarrassing tbh

If you don't like my opinion then I mean YIKES

I got on for like 1 hour after 4 months and the monstrosity of a event I witnessed was 1 sith with a flamethrower who was TPed into a lobby and started killing people 

[zoink]

Any truers?

[Mike]

although IMO events have always been dogshit it's just we remeber the "old times" as better. I remember back on Rishi our event which im pretty sure was the base switch to a venator event was a hour of the gamemaster who I think was forseen using the headcrab canister tool to blow people up

Lack of quality events is only half the problem. There is an issue on the server of people always complaining that there is 'nothing to do' or shit like that, to those people I have one thing to say; It's an RP server.

What I mean by that is people need to get off their asses and create things to do on the server. Do medical check-ups in the Medbay, go on patrol, relying solely on Events to keep the ebb and flow of the server going will never end well. Commanding Officer and BCMDs can only do so much. The server needs more people to start thinking for themselves and start doing passive things around the map.

Passive RP events won't keep everyone entertained though. Usually those med bay check-ups and shit come from events. Friday shouldn't be a Passive RP day it should be fun. Our server is full and there's nothing to do. And the Passive RP that happens is usually just cancerous

It wouldn't be events, it would literally just be passive things to do around the server. Or even simulations or shit like that.

My whole point was that events SHOULDN'T be the only thing going on around the map or on the server

I mean, Jorrdan isn't wrong. The lack of creativity effects the server's enjoyment and it's getting lazy. 

[Blueberry Juice]

While I don't disagree at all with this post, it's an RP server so it's up to you as an individual to create stuff. However, that's hard to do when a GM is lazy and just spawns a couple of droids and calls it a day. When we were on the ship I asked some people to spawn asteroids for some RP. That created opportunity for some ENG RP and ship RP for the Naval atm. BigZach then took it a tad further by creating narrative of a tactical Droid on the asteroids, which then called in CIS frigates after we accessed it's data.

That story, as long winded as it may seem, is to show that it's not entirely up to GM's to create events. Create opportunities.

However, I am getting sick of CIS WARPS IN and a shit ton of droids attack. Create richer environments and narratives. That's what makes Joah's events so exciting and fundamentally the best events we have.

Jorrdan I mean no disrespect, but it's almost impossible to force people. And the people who complain about not enough, aren't doing anything either.

I have to go with Baxter on this one as well. Battalions are massivley at fault for NOT doing any RP on the base as well.

Yes. Somebody call DEFCON 1.

Maybe gamemaster applications should be opened for the community, as the rank of gamemaster can be loads of fun, whilst being a staff member means dealing with retarded internal politics and having to turn the server into a part-time job.

@Jorrdan Instead of just saying the Events are shit elaborate, please. Come with some event ideas instead of just roasting the Game Masters on the Forums.

Not before synergy/early synergy. I saw a lot of unique shit. Game masters just needa figure out they have a fucking brain and not just do the same old

*CIS warps in*

*hostile gets captured*

*15 minutes of interrogation*

*somehow dies or escapes*

Or some shitty rakghoul event or whatever the fuck. There were days where a lot of event jobs were constantly suggested for the greatest quality of unique events that utilize those jobs and have their own story. Only now do I see those events on the event server now and then.

Things need fixing, always will.

I admit that a shootem up is a nice passer by the get the spirit going and keep things lively, but not one after the next after the next after the next. That's my take on it.

In all honesty here, the events have not been of real good quality for months. It's not due to the gamemasters entirely but the players who get impatient and demand things to shoot at. Going to the base was an incredible opportunity to improve passive RP and hold new and exciting events, and it most  certainly did, but moving  back to a venator AGAIN does limit things heavily for amounts of passive RP (like patrols and watch stations, along with the other generic forms of passiveRP) Let's be real, Venators suck, they always have, for a multitude of reasons. Small scale deployment events should be allowed to happen because that should be what the bread and butter of battalions are doing. It allows them to operate as they should and let them use their specialization. It also allows for much more personalized enjoyment and a much more strong sense of belonging within a battalion and regiment. Main server events also lag and are usually just braindead point and click adventures (some can be fun to be fair) but the vast majority have no real reason to happen and can just be done as an npc sim. I dont know the requirements for the event server or even if there are any because I'm not a gamemaster or staff anymore but people should be looking to do some smaller scale, story based deployments with smaller groups of battalions to allow them to shine and get the recognition and roleplay that they crave and desire.

 

 

Also, NOBODY LIKES INFECTION EVENTS, THEYRE PRETTY AIDS (unless theres some reason for infection or if you like medRP) 

Thank you for listening to my rambling

This should be in general discussion tbh because this is a very important issue that keeps recurring. Discussing the issues that people have with the system and how it is being operated can help eliminate many unnecessary or straight moronic rules that inhibit the creativity of the gamemaster and decrease the levels of enjoyment that people are able to get out of these events. It also opens up the position for more diversity in how events are handled and operated. It can also help those in charge on how to best direct their efforts to help the events and server improve in quality through the events and sims that are being held.

You couldn't have said it any better. Specialized events with consequences are so much more fun than the lag fest of a few hundred droids.

I have to agree here. The events have been pretty bad from what I have seen (Keep in mind I am not to terribly active so I see a few here and there.) The could always approve but I also get where Joah is coming from. Sadly cannot force GMs to do good events.

This is literally what @BlackiSblack does. He is doing a storyline for the 212th and every action has consequences. Like we could either choose to go blow up a training camp or go to a research ability and things like an orbital bombardment takes up a lot of resources and may leave us without a few materials
