5/10 I know it was your first event but I have a lot to say. When you deploy specific branches, in this case it was Shadow, Sentinel, and Investigator, you want to make sure your deployment suits their roles well. Even before I joined the event server, I was under the impression that there was going to be something to solve or an investigation would be put into place. Turns out we were just going to a Sith Temple and using artifacts as the keys to the temple. The deployment could've been the entire Jedi order from the beginning as the story/deployment never called for the specific skills of Sentinel, Shadow, and Investigator.

Because this is a Jedi deployment, it's just the nature of the beast that you would need someone to give out trial sabers to everyone when they die. Every time someone put in a ticket for trial sabers, no one responded to it. At all. It was left to the responsibility of the SA's that were deployed to give out the sabers to the rest of the Jedi. That should be the responsibility of the GM/GH's to handle that. If everyone was busy and couldn't do it, then get more GH's. Nova correct me if I'm wrong but I believe you were an event job during that event, which is O.K., but when responsibilities are ignored because of your involvement in the event, then why did you make yourself an event job?

Another small but still noticeable issue is the model you selected for your NPC's. For some reason Gmod just doesn't allow model-overwritten NPC's to always keep firing. Like they would initially fire, but eventually stop and do nothing at all. Make sure you're choosing a model that doesn't have that issue.

Make sure your event jobs are enjoyable to fight as well. It's not very fun if half the time the Jedi and Sith are force leaping in the air.

I forgot I was writing this so it's been like two hours since the event but one last thing is that make sure the goal of the entire deployment is worth it. Having a sarcophagus full of kyber crystals really isn't that exciting. Make it like the body of a Sith or some ancient sith texts. Something exciting.

I do hope to see you create more events in the future though. Keep at it and listen to the criticism of others. See you the next time you host an event.

Thanks for the feedback, if i'm gonna be honest my GHs kinda took over and did there own thing, for example the crystal and the robots those were the GHs doings, although I have to disagree with you on some aspects, its kinda hard managing three things at once, I was spawning in NPCS, I had to be an event job and it was chaotic, and I also had to manage giving people sabers,  for some reason I don't know how but we were giving people sabers. you also mentioned how I should have done it branch wise , that was the plan but you can't really do a branch deployment when only 5 people show up. but initially thank you for the feedback but I feel like you have to realize  its no so easy to get picture perfect event jobs. I did this to have fun and entertain people and jedi since I haven't really seen any deployments for them.

A lot of your issues could've been solved if you had more Helpers and planned it out a little more. Improvisation can be good and sometimes even better than what you had originally planned, but you should have a general plan of action of how things should operate/how and what your event jobs and helpers should go about doing their part. Overall, don't be afraid to ask for more help, especially if you plan on being an event job during your own event.
