    Introduction
    If you are reading this thread, you're one step closer into joining Syndicate Gamers Community. Please read the following thread carefully as it is essential you follow all the detailed guidelines we give regarding our recruitment process. It is a long process to get into Syndicate Gaming, but it could be well worth it.

    Agrippa reacted to Face in War3 Christmas Mini-Event (Dec. 23 - Dec 31)   
    50% Bonus Experience for the duration of the event. Gold Bars will spawn randomly (as is tradition).
     
    Level bank will be given out as such:
    Most Gold: 15 level bank
    2nd Most Gold: 10 level bank
    3rd Most Gold: 5 level bank
    I will probably give out a few level bank here and there throughout the event as well.
     
    Event Only Race:
    Kris Kringle
    Portly: Gain 100 HP
    Joyous: Your joy inspires those around you
    Gift from Elves: Your elves packed you a special gift before you left the North Pole
    Presents: [ability] You give presents to nice children below you when flying on your sleigh
    Reindeer: [ultimate] Calling upon your reindeer makes your sleigh take off
     
     
    Kris Kringle will be limited to 2 per team. An extension of the MOTD rule since this is a limited time thing: if a player with less levels wants to play Kris Kringle, you have to let them play. If you do not allow players to play the race, you can be punished.

    Agrippa reacted to Face in War3 Expertise/Buff/Nerf Essay Submission   
    I will be fulfilling at least one request for a buff, nerf, or expertise (assuming anybody actually puts in effort). In order to apply, you must abide by all rules outlined below.
    Write an essay (preferably in story form). There is no word requirement (quality > quantity), but I would suggest maybe around 3000 words Try to format it decently (I know we are on forums so that can be harder) Try to be as grammatically correct as possible (the better/funnier the essay is, the less emphasis I will place on grammar) Feel free to mention other players, within reason (don't be too offensive or harassing) Follow all relevant sG rules Don't be too simple or too obvious. e.g. A story about an orc fighting the oppression of Nazi Germany (sG). It's too obvious unless you put some big spin on it. Try to be original and not steal ideas from others Feel free to post the story here or to use another site (pastebin, etc). Low effort posts will be removed/infracted. I will place a lot of emphasis on the first couple hundred words of the essay. If I am bored or I think I know exactly where it is going immediately, I will not waste my time finishing it.
     
    Beyond the first couple hundred words, I will place all the emphasis on originality and humor.
     
    I will probably stop this after New Years.

    Agrippa reacted to Face in War3 Survey Results   
    Survey Responses: 56
    Number of Survey Responses Deleted (not included in count of 56): 2
     
    If you want to look at the raw responses, you can download my excel sheet here: http://puu.sh/lilzi/290719ce6c.xlsx
     
    So first I’m going to start out with the good, TL:DR friendly info… charts!
     
    Balance, 1 = atrocious 5 = perfect
     
    Change in Balance, 1 = much worse, 5 = much better
     
    Balance vs Change in balance: The columns represent balance and the rows represent change in balance. You can see the majority of the players believe that balance is good and/or is improving.
     
    How long players have been playing sG War3 mod
     
    How much players play every month
     
    What players think the priority of engineers should be
     
     
    For votes on what to nerf and buff, the results are pretty much how I expected with a couple exceptions.
     
    Out of a total of 88 races mentioned for nerfs, 65 had 3 or less votes to nerf that race (that is nearly 75% of races mentioned).
    Out of a total of 122 races mentioned for buffs, 92 had 3 or less votes to buff that race (that is just over 75% of races mentioned).
     
    What this means to me is that 75% of the time if you think a race needs to be nerfed or buffed (to the extent that you would list it on a survey) you are probably in the vast minority.
     
    The story still isn't very different for those races above 3 votes. A large portion of them still had less than 10% of players vote to buff or nerf them.
     
    On the buff front, only 9 races had more than 10% of players (6) vote to buff them.
     
    On the nerf front, again only 9 races had more than 10% of players vote to nerf them.
     
    Even then, the most voted for to be buffed, trickster, had only 17.9% of votes.
    The most voted to be nerfed, Impetus, only had 23.2% of the votes. The next race (Chogall) falls quite far behind with 17.9%.
     
    Again, what this means is that likely if you think a race needs to be nerfed or buffed then the best case scenario is that less than 1/4 people agree with you.
     
    52 races (over a quarter of the races on the server) had votes to both nerf them and buff them. What this means is you guys disagree a lot.
     
    The following is a dump of what was input into the "Remove/Heavily Alter (nerf)" free response box (blank responses excluded):

    The following is a dump of what was input as "Other" for the focus of engineers on the server.

     
    Things I immediately plan to do as a result of the surveys:
    Put a timer on Cho'gall mines OR they expire after hitting 1 player. The timer would be something like 20 seconds. Demon Hunter's respawn block will trigger on death of the player instead of on hit (regardless of who kills them). The chance will be calculated as the amount of damage a Demon Hunter dealt to that player divided by 100. (1dmg = 1%, 100 dmg = 100%). Give Impetus teleports a charge. This will use the overlay (i think it already might be used for teleport marks but that isn't really necessary). I was thinking something like regenerate 1 charge every 5 seconds. This allows impetus to maintain similar mobility but requires it to be a little more conservative in its teleport useage (and nullifies spamming teleport). Adding a VERY brief cooldown to Master of GO's heal on jump. All this would do is devalue sitting in a corner jumping under a ledge to heal to max HP instantly. Lowering the duration (and maybe also the intensity) of lobotomize and increasing the passive skills of Lobotomist to compensate. More will follow, probably including a poll.
    Thanks again.

    Fixed model bugs with ESP where the ESP model did not match the players model, so it made it look weird (like this: http://puu.sh/kNKWC/4c77e7abae.jpg). Will be fixed on restart.
     
    I'm also doing a Server 2 Playtest tonight.
    All players are welcome, but I'd appreciate it if I can get some regulars in on it.
    It will be at approximately 8PM CDT (4 hours from the time of this post). You will be able to join the server by pasting the following into console:
    connect 162.251.167.177:27019; password playtestXP from the play test will not be saved and I will probably be handing out xp/levels/cash like it is candy (just to get more use out of the play test). There will also be no level restrictions on the races that are ready to be tested (~26 of them). There are also 10 new items.
    Be aware, races are all tweaked to be substantially stronger and it is based more on countering other players races.
    Balance is probably really poor as well since it is 26 unplayed races and 10 new items.
    Hope to see you there.

    New invisibility is LIVE.
    Invis looks slightly different. Some lower-invis values seem a little bit stronger but not much.
    Invis will no longer be impossible to see if they are against certain textures (e.g. the back of de_dust2 bomsite B).
    This means we can eventually add sprays.

    Lowered ultralisk evolution on zergling hp by 50 Fixed bug where all HP changes in evolution resulted in zergling having 25 more hp than it should (e.g. if evolution gave -20 hp, it really gave +5 hp) Buffed stalker evolution from 80% invis to 85% invis (keep in mind it correctly has 50 hp now instead of 80) Fixed bug where musicians firestarter effect was stacking and also could damage players while the musician was dead.  
    Also new command useful for testing or debugging problems.
     
    IN CHAT: "/debug"
    It brings up a menu with 3 options accessible to players: Pre/Post Dmg, Trace Attack, and Bufflist.
    Each option has 3 settings, OFF, ATTACKER, and VICTIM.
     
    Examples and explanations:
    Pre/Post Dmg prints two things every time you attack someone (if set on ATTACKER) or every time you are attacked (if set on VICTIM).
    Example of the PRE print:
    PRE: ATTK: sG | Face [ENG] (98 Anti Mage) || VIC: sG | whitelightning [ENG] (62 Zergling) || Dmg: 111.88889
    What this print means: Face is the attacker playing 98 anti mage, whitelightning is the victim playing 62 zergling. The damage amount is BEFORE ALL MODIFICATIONS. This might be an AK-47 headshot for example. Whether I have claw, he has chain, he has 100% damage reduction or 100% evade, etc. is irrelevant. This damage number is what the attack would deal WITHOUT warcraft 3 effects.
     
    Example of the POST print:
    POST: ATTK: sG | Face [ENG] (98 Anti Mage) Claw: 1 || VIC: sG | whitelightning [ENG] (62 Zergling) Chain: 0 || Dmg: 84.32223 Weapon: weapon_ak47 W3S: 0
    What this print means: Same as the pre-print, except it also tells us the attacker has claws (claw: 1), the victim does not have a chain (chain: 0), what the ACTUAL DAMAGE DEALT is (84.32223**), what the weapon is (ak47) and that the damage is not "warcraft damage" (W3S: 0). Warcraft damage is defined as any damage that we deal with the warcraft mod. E.g., bonus dmg, poison, fire. Modified damage (such as steves +30%) might not show as W3S damage but it also may, it generally just depends on how things are coded.
    **calculated as 111.8889 * 0.7 + 6 because zergling has 30% dmg reduc and the attacker has claws
     
    Example of the TRACE print:
    TRACE: ATTK: sG | whitelightning [ENG] || VIC: sG | Face [ENG] || Dmg: 39.9999 Hitbox: 0 Hitgroup: 0
    What this means: whitelightning did an attack that had a base damage of 40 (39.9999 rounded up). when I say base damage I mean it doesn't account for hitting in the foot or the head. e.g. an AK47 will always show a damage number of like 30-40, even if you hit headshots. Hitbox: there is lots of hitbox numbers, I do not know these I just added it in case it is useful in the future for us. Hitgroup: 0 = knife attack (I think?), 1 = head, 2 = chest, 3 = stomach, 4/5 = arms, 6/7 = legs.
     
    Example of the BUFFLIST print:
    ======= Buffs for sG | Face [ENG] =======
    ======= Buffs for sG | whitelightning [ENG] =======
    Buff: 12 || Value: 1.70000 || Race Applying: Zergling
    Buff: 22 || Value: 1.500000 || Race Applying: ZerglingBuff: 41 || Value: 5.00000 || Race Applying: Zergling
    Buff: 44 || Value: -30 || Race Applying: Zergling
    What this means: this prints buff IDs, values, and races the buffs are from. Here, Face has no buffs while whitelightning has many. I'm not going to post or explain the IDs (as they could really change) or make it print buffnames (at least for now). This is mostly so someone could send us the information if they think it is relevant. Important Note: Not everything you think of as a "buff" is a "buff". Examples of things you probably won't see: armor shread, custom damage effects (shadespawn), screen fading, ammo shredding, any type of temporary buff may not appear (depends on how it is coded). Just because you see your Bufflist and there is 0 or 1 buffs but your race has 4 skills does not mean the race is broken.
     
    There are also two more options that are developer only:
    Player Info (this prints health, armor, and whether or not the player has a helmet every time damage is dealt or taken)
    Distance (this prints distance of players within either 600 or 1200 units every 2 seconds)
    These are developer only because I know someone will try to use it to their advantage.
     
    All debug messages print to your console.
     
    Other easy commands:
    /debug off (this sets all debugs to [OFF])
    /debug attacker (sets all non-developer to [ATTACKER])
    /debug victim (sets all non-developer to [VICTIM])
    developer only /debug status prints in console if any players have debug settings turned on and which ones they have on what mode
    developer only /debug kill sets all non-developer player's debug settings to OFF
     
    I know the vast majority of people will have no purpose for this, but hopefully this can help testers and people who report bugs.
     
    Please for the love of god, turn some of these settings on before you report a problem related to dealing/taking damage or buffs not working, etc.
    This is brand new, so no harm to the past obviously. However, if you send me a message that shows your damage you dealt from the regular console damage prints and say "I have bonus damage why didn't I get bonus damage" I will literally begin convulsing uncontrollably. Please make use of /debug attacker (for problems related to you DEALING damage) or /debug victim (for problems related to you TAKING damage or another player dealing excessive damage, e.g. the Rottweil Ult bug before I fixed it).
    Your console will get spammed by this. I don't suggest setting it on "for funsies" because you will probably get a quarter of a screen of console prints every time you deal damage (attacker) or take damage (victim).
     
     
    UNRELATED TO THE DEBUG PRINT NOTE FROM ENGINEER PLS READ IF YOU EVER REPORT BUGS TO ME:
    Also, in general I've had more than one person report vague bugs to me that give me essentially no help. I will come back, the person who messaged me offline and I will have a message like "this rottweil bug is fucking stupid." Okay... what bug? Where do I even start? Or something like "zergling hp is broken" okay... how is it broken? Is ultralisk hp broken? is it hunter HP? is it the HP regeneration? Are you upset that you spawn with 50 and regen up to 70? I don't know and I don't like to join the server and spend 20 minutes testing a race because somebody can't take the extra 5 seconds to type out what the actual problem is. Sometimes I ignore these messages, sometimes I ask for more details. I'm by no means referring to any one in particular as it seems like everyone has done it to me at least once.
