What do you want?

[Anderson]

Good evening / morning everyone!

Now, I've recently became an Admin on the CWRP server as well as a GH and I'm aspiring to become a GM. During the past week I've made some events and encounters. Some of which have been bad, like really bad, and some have been... Okay. The main reason I became a GH, and the reason I want to be a GM, is because I want to provide you guys with a fun and enjoyable experience on the server. Where you can participate in battles where you feel like Fordo during the battle of Coruscant. That sort of stuff. Provide situations where Specialised Battalions / groups (SO and SOBDE) can do their shady business either for the Republic or for their own benefit. I want to give you guys the opportunity to mould your own stories so you feel apart of the universe a little more. 

Now, the question I'm going to ask you guys (Which in all honesty I believe I've asked before) is, What do you want out of your events? 

Do you guys prefer typical "shoot-them-ups" where you gun down waves of droids only to push them off the base and call it a days work until an hour later when the same thing happens again?

Do you guys want more RP based events where you can investigate a shady individual, or perhaps delve deep into the many mysteries of the Galaxy?

Do you want custom lore and stories that fit for Synergy or do want to just stick to Canon / legends?

Do you want your "shoot-them-ups" to be more difficult? Do you want to be pushed back into the base?

Please keep this serious. As I know a lot of people are not happy with events, yet they hardly raise their opinion to anyone but those in their private channels. I just want to make events that are fun for you guys, to keep you interested. So I'm making this post for everyone's opinion what events should be.

Events with puzzles. 

It makes people use their brains instead of "Ooga booga, metal droid go boom"

I thought this was just a post that I could put what I want, I want to Base Ops to let me do my soil RP

[BigIron]

I want to see an event where there are drug traffickers in the village and there are two ways of dealing with the issue: going balls in immediately and having to fight off counter-attacks from the trafficking forces, or slowly stopping the shipments in and out of the planet with aircraft and land vehicles to bleed them out into attacking us.

Lmfao, but the ooga booga is fun sometimes.

Like I said please keep it serious guys. I want your honest opinions. If you guys don’t give at least me something to work with then you’ll keep getting same garbage that you complain about day in  and day out. I’m giving you guys the opportunity to give your opinions on events and stuff like that, so you can have a more enjoyable time on the server.

[Stockings]

Story driven series of events derived from puzzles, with necessary direction and control. 

I find the lack of event story arcs disturbing. 

[Gadget]

How about some actual rp that's interesting and trying to resisting the urges for those more mentally deficient to shoot everyone who isn't a "Shini Boi"

 

Shoot em ups get boring after a while, especially when encounters are basically just shoot em up events now a days

[DracoOdinson]

Have a story and do things that make sence 

[Chop]

Imagine a game master asking for people's opinion on what they want.

The worse part being he is still only a game helper. 

bruh

[justuscloud5]

@Anders0n I want you

[Ket]

I want a world without commando droid brainless infiltration events : )

 

On the other note, RP intensive events would be nice, or multi-part stories. / P.s. rakghoul events imo are hilarious and fun so do that yes?

[hop1003]

The puzzle stuff is not the best for one main reason it appeals to only a select group of people. Because reasonably if its a non dangerous kind of thing high command/ high rank usually do the puzzle and if it is dangerous SOBDE does the puzzle the average troopers will either A guard the area or B shoot droid. The times when it seems like we are all going to die is when a large enemy force is inside the base not two commando droids running around blowing shit up. Make an event based off the battle Naboo make the droids really op and have the batts be pushed all the way back then have the control ship destroyed and boom everyone safe now. Also please move away from hostage negotiations they really boring for like most of it then in the end when they leave they always just start shooting. Just do more interesting stuff like a bomb vest or something not the same trando with big gun.

To be fair game masters aren't the full issue. A large part of it is the community not being open and contradicting themselves at every turn. The community has to be open to stuff. But it should be easy for  GMs to realise they are still players, so it'd be nice for them to take that perspective and use it to there benefit.

Game Masters should be creative but also have a proper think about what the player can do. Make the event engaging.

Make sure you have the right people as the right event jobs, instead of auctioning them off.

When you have your plan A going make sure to have references to your scapegoat plan B in RP. This will help stop the randomness of some stuff.

Be creative but not to the detriment of the enjoyability of the event.

Story. Not just events that are thrown at us without any continuation. Make it a lit story line so people will be interested in it and not be like “another shoot’em up event”
