Conrad Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Name:Conrad RP Rank: Palpatine Suggestion:Bring back individual battalion buffs. Implementation: Through myself work with the BCMD and the founders/development team to find a fair balance of buffs to give each battalion more specific strengths. Buffs may be things like more health, armor, move speed, jump height, weapons, or unique items like potentially gernades or shields. This is not an extensive list as gmod has changed a lot since this was last implemented and I’m sure new cooler things could be added. I have been told by forseen if this is accepted we can work on specifics and get them implemented. Lore: Some battalions where better at one thing then another. Workshop content if applicable: N/A Other: This would still need specifics worked out, I would be more then happy to talk and discuss with all battalion extensively what they want and how to keep it balanced within a scope set to me by the founder/development team. A note of interest at the BCMD level after a very brief convo/discord DM's: BCMD's that want this: BCMD Bacara, BCMD Gregor, BCMD Fox, BCMD Cody, BCMD Doom, BCMD Claw, BCMD Rex, BCMD Gree BCMD's that don't: BCMD Wolffe 1 5 Report Link to comment

I was not here just as many others who joined in the past year and a half I wasn't here at the time either but I believe it was things like 41st and CG having a speed boost, DU having their shields, 501st and 212th having 100 extra HP, etc. Assuming buffs of this nature are what Conrad is suggesting then +1. I think it sounds very interesting and the extreme push for battalion standardization over the past year or so has not been one that I've been a huge fan of. Eliminating uniqueness from battalions makes things less enjoyable for many even if it creates a more "fair" experience. 1 Report Former: Jedi Youngling Link to comment

Dono Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1+1+1 I cant support this enough. Each battalion needs to have its own focus and a special tool for them that helps elevates them in their focus. As long as weapons are balanced under the DPS standards it should work out. Also I would even say that more battalions specific utilities would be dope to see. For example: 41st and Ghost company have the actual grapple hook weapon. 5 Report Link to comment

Who's making the bring Sith back post or the Synergy is Dying post? Jokes btw This is a really vague suggestion. Would have liked to see more examples of buffs that certain battalions would be getting rather than +1ing and hoping everything works out later on. Not much of a server suggestion on that end. A poll probably would have made more sense tbh just to gather community support since that seems to be what you're looking for.

I strongly recommend reaching out further into the battalions then just the BCMD. You can do this by sending out a poll or google form for anyone to fill out on an Idea they have for a battalion buff. It would be also nice to see updates on this topic in the high command meeting notes to see what buffs are discussed and which ones are dismissed in those meetings. Link to comment

Gadget Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 So, some batts are probably not gonna get buffed as much as they still retain their uniqueness/buff - Like CG run speed, Rancor having ARC everything, DU shields and SOBDE load outs. Also, obligatory "I did not a accept this being added so I could suggest the 70 damage wester back." That demon is locked in hell and can stay there. If was great but also one of the leading factors batt nuffs were removed. Batt buffs need to be impactful but not broken. Fit the battalion and actually be useful. You don't want to give 41st shotguns as they are a recon focused batt in many aspects. Same with giving 104th a speed boost... when they just drive tanks. It will be thought out and we will ensure no one gets the short end or the long end of the stick. +1 What? Were you expecting some colourful thing denoting my past achievements?

Stockings Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 +1 In my time, since we've removed the Battalion Buffs, I have seen old players return, only to watch them get upset when they found out that battalion buffs were no longer a thing on the server. They'd stick around for maybe a week get bored and leave. I think adding something like this back will certainly boost our player pop. once more. Hell with a dope update just recently the server is popping, I know it'll take a hot minute to figure things out, but I have no doubt that it'll be a popular update for the community in general.

Mavelle Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE IS FROM COMICS "The introduction of battalion buffs will overall create more individual battalions and more reason to go to seperate group. It was one of the original attractive parts of synergy however I think it's important we consider battalions who already have an improved position from other batts, namely RANCOR & DU (I wouldn't count SOBDE as they've never got the original batt buff anyway) While batts such as 212th, 41st, 501st all deserve a batt buff due to not having any inate buff compared to other batts, if you don't count sub units of course, DU has shields and previously had Z6s which they kept even without the batt buffs despite those only being there because of the buff. RANCOR suffer from the same issue of all jobs being ARC troopers making them insanely buffed compared to every batt. I think it's worth at least discussing whether or not all battalions require a batt buff depending on there current situation. I would also discount CG since they need the speed buff to arrest. However it seems unfair to give some battalions more despite already pretty much having a buff." 2 2 2 Report Broooo that's literally insane brooo Link to comment
