Give Sith ex-SO privs pls. Guy goes ham on idiots in TTT gmod.

With the way our rules work, suspicion isn't really a mechanic of the game mode and sus callouts in our servers are almost always jokes. Killing for being sus or "high sus" is considered RDM so if this happens to you then report it and the guy will be taken care of.

One of the last anime shows I watched was Ga-rei: Zero, pretty cool with lots of action. It's a prequel to another but I never even looked into that one. The character development was great and leads up to an amazing final episode.

Are these commands?

Bae and her idiot frands got me into Supernatural. They were busy splooshing over this young idiot heartthrob

but I actually enjoyed the premise of the show. The two main characters go around hunting monsters, really similar to what Witchers do in the video game series but it's set in the modern day and age. Most episodes start out with them checking out a mysterious unsolvable murder/super grotesque death and I love this Scoobydoo aspect of the show: not who killed the guy but what. I also used to be really interested in folklore & mythology (and by extension mythological creatures) so it was pretty fun in trying to deduce and then recognize what the monster the guys were hunting as they themselves try to figure it out. They end up hunting a huge range of different monsters so it was pretty cool seeing them problem solve each monster's weakness using modern day tech (e.g. sometimes they could use shotguns loaded with salt to end a ghost encounter ezpz, others they gotta research some ancient & long forgotten incantation because thats it's only weakness).

10/10 would recommend, if not just to see Jensen Ackles smile. It's been running since '05 and the 14th season starts next week.

Curated race list (not too many healers or knife races etc)

1 race per player per half (no spam swapping)

A curated race list is fine imo. I do think we should allow racechanging between rounds though. As much of a meme as it is, the game really is balanced towards countering other players' races. If a sensei is causing too much trouble for your team, you swap to dreadknight or bloodseeker. If someone is getting real sweaty is 24-0 with 20 headshots, you swap to Krillin or Nightelf. I wouldn't want someone locking in a knife race then finding a Dreadknight on the other team without being able to swap for half a match, those 15 rounds of hell would ruin the whole tournament for that player imo.

Would be pretty interesting to see the team compositions tbh, especially if races are limited. I don't see an issue with having them not limited though -- our current restrictions are fine enough. 5 Orcs is annoying to deal with but there are tons of other comps that I can think of off the top of my head that could easily beat that.

As for levels, I think it'd be best for them to all be fully leveled races. A fully leveled race tourney vs a lvl 10 only race tourney are two completely different tournaments, entirely different categories imo. The latter would also completely eliminate knife races, since most of them aren't good/playable until they're fully leveled.

However, I wouldn't have had that tearjerker with our spider-man fading away so that was a good scene for me.

 

The only thing that should deal even CLOSE to this much damage in this fast-paced super competitive ranked online multiplayer first person shooter video game is a well-placed headshot imho.

I think there must be a mistake???? Human alliance is in the C-tier section when it should be in the S-tier section.

Also idk about this

If the average of all players is absurdly higher (like >2 standard deviations), than it's obvious that it's inherently stronger.

Just look at league, kha'zix/rengar are insanely strong by anyone who knows how to play him but the majority don't so they're viewed as "weaker" champions. Hell there was even a season where Lee Sin was sleeper OP and very powerful but noone played him, then Riot buffed him and he dominated for a whole season or two.

I liked the days when everyone would have 6 outta 6 items if you playerinfo'ed them since items were so cheap but at the same time we're only a little bit away from that since cash is given out constantly nowadays as opposed to the considerably less amount back then. I still often find myself swimming in cash overflow enough to by a mask of death+claws+chainmail and still have $10k+ to respawn.

I love the idea, but wouldn't this have the same effect that the hero idea had. The better players will be able to have legendaries active more often than shittier players.

It's true that playing more means having more legendaries but I don't think having more will mean much imo, mainly because you're limited to one per race. It's simply a small buff to a race's theme. If anything, I feel like adding the system will maintain a new player's interest in the mod as they'll want to strive for a legendary for themselves once they learn about them.

Balance-wise, I wanted to keep it around the same level as WoW's. It felt good to duel people who had legendaries while not having any yourself and win, especially knowing they have better stats/gear. It's what I prided myself on back when I played.

Hiya guys, thought I'd share an idea that I was hyped about working on. I'm calling it the Legendary system, modeled similarly to World of Warcraft's legendary equipment system. Equipping a Legendary will alter a race in a way slightly, much like an expertise. Unlike expertise though, you can acquire and store a currency called Shards in order to unlock a Legendary and potentially have one unlocked for a race you have at level 0. Each race will have a handful of Legendaries; I'm thinking 3 each for starters. Players are limited to one Legendary item equipped at a time.

The main way of acquiring a Legendary would be simply playing the game: obtaining a kill (higher chance if headshot) or planting/defusing/hostaging/winning the round/healing as Trinity+Holy Paladin+Priest will each have a very small % to obtain a random Legendary. A smaller chance will give you a Shard instead, which will allow you to pick which Legendary you get. Shards could be given away freely every 500 total levels or so. Mabey a present could even drop at a low chance on kill similar to eggs/pumpkins, which yield either a legendary or a Shard. Crazy freeforall rush for the loot!

Here's some quick visuals. The Legendaries menu will be brought up by typing "legendary" into chat, similar to changerace.

Then, selecting a race will reveal you the Legendary available to it and what each does. Selecting the Artifact will then equip it if you have it and then close the menu (similar to picking a race). Here's an example screen of someone who owns two Undead Scourge Legendaries(notice the third is greyed out because he doesn't have it -- if he had a Shard then the text would be red and selecting it would consume the shard and unlock it for him).

I like the system for two reasons. One: It adds another layer of depth into the game, something else to strive for when killing people. Currently, the two things players can obtain by playing the game are server rank and levels -- this adds another reward system to constantly fuel that desire for dopamine.

Two: The system will certainly add a small level of powercreep but will be a great way to finetune older races into importance and we'll finally see some races being played again. Additionally, it adds a small level of customization into the game. Our diehard Trickster Assassin or Shadow Lurker fans can choose which route they want to specialize in to suit their playstyles.

The shard system also allows additional p a y 2 w i n options in addition to our current ones. Supporters can have an increased drop rate for legendaries. Players could also flatout buy Shards, similar to buying credits for other our pay2win servers like JB and ZE. We're gonna be rich.

Please share thoughts! I was excited to work on the system myself but wanted to create a race first in order to prove to myself that I could code. I'm busy & putting it off for now but if anyone wants to start refining/working on this (if greenlit by Engies), go right ahead. We could also have a War3 event to kickstart the system with increased drop rates for the duration of the event. Events are always fun.

Tbh creating a notable character from the universe will simply be a combination of races and abilities and I dunno if we want that. For example, Muradin Bronzebeard would simply be Human Alliance with Orc's Reincarnate ability instead of invisibility. IDEK what his ultimate would be, since all the dwarven heroes in Warcraft 3 had the same thing ult, Avatar, and it's not relatable to him at all. Even in the games, each character is simply a beefed up unit of a class (Uther is simply a Paladin in Warcraft 3, Arthas is simply a skinned Paladin and later Deathknight, Jaina is simply another mage in a WoW instance). Honestly I just roleplay as Lord Garithos from Warcraft3 whenever I play and scorn anyone who's not a Human Alliance. I do think you're right about our server becoming less of a Warcraft server and more of a Superhero server though. I'm just waiting for a Morpheus race with skinned dual mp7s tbh.

In a similar vein, when I was in my coding mood I came up with a few ideas that I wanted to propose to our engies but wanted to fully refine them before doing so: "hero races" was one of them, where they were limited to one hero per team, accessible at any level, beefy and easy to kill with/lots of skills (though not totally broken of course). The idea was to help newbies out or anyone having a bad game and playing one required a bad KD/less team round wins and/or playtime was limited to a few rounds per map. Idea requires refining like I said but it's been a while since I've been in that coding mood so it's on the backburner.

Oh boy we're populating Rust!..... aaaand we have 2/75 players =[ I was genuinely excited cause I forgot about wipe day being today and just got home.
