Events

[Matty]

Be arsed making this a suggestion as it's just more for staff to realise but can you please stop using shitty maps which are meant for around 20-30 people for the server when it has around 80+ people on it

Its lags to fuck both tick rate-wise and FPS-wise, Everyone is too crowded and half of the regiments get barely any use during them, for instance, that last planetary despite it being average fps and tick rate for it, half of the people just get fuck all to do.

WP can't fly over the walls because how narrow and small the maps are
GC can't snipe from mountains without staff getting pissed at them for event skipping
212th can only drive so far with their vehicles due to how close everyone is together
327th can only frontline, most times can't fly and if they are the pilot is going back and forth
CG can get very easily taken over with EEs appearing over the mountain and shooting them with how close the spawn is

And then at the end its all just CQC so that takes 90% of the regiments out and leaves it for RC, GM and 501st but everyone wants some action so they get in the way.

Most regiments can't do much on small maps so can you please stop using them when you have so many people on, Make use of the big maps and before people/staff complain saying "It lags too much" then think of an idea to stop people from running across the map right away and you needing to spread EEs/NPCs around the place.

I was talking in-game before to some people and when looking at other servers they have invested in some Event Servers, now if this is good or bad its debatable with how you use it etc, but if the main issue with events on the server is they are too laggy, Maybe start considering doing events much different than what everyone is used to, idk a quick idea would have it so every week staff have to do events for different regiments randomly so maybe on Monday: 501st and 212th with either ARC/RC/SDW, Tuesday: GC and WP with either ARC/RC/SDW and so on, make new combinations for different regiments and be creative with them. That just some idea I quickly came up with, I'm sure there are 1000 things wrong with it but think it's about time to start looking at a new way of doing events for the server since it is getting very dry and boring most days for regiments when its all CQC/the same.

So yeah idk what do you think, do you like doing the constant events of every single regiment going on the same planet, everyone running around like headless chickens only to for maybe 3 regiments to be fully used and the rest sitting doing nothing at all or would you rather just sit there brain dead as the event goes into 10 hallway breach only for people to complain

So basically like a spec-ops server but for events? I assume that's what your second point is about. The map choices can get quite tough depending on the dupe or what maps already been used sometimes. Obviously it also depends on how many people are even assisting the person thats doing the event.
I think IF the spec-ops server were to be added I think it would be fun to host regimental events type a thing which would include 3 Regiments or something along those lines and it would be an event tailored around them. But it would just force some stuff from a standard event to be left out which might overall be a good thing but a bad thing as well as it can make it seem a bit dull. Sorry for the waffle, neat idea but might have some complications.

I absolutely agree.

I try to stay positive about EVERYTHING on the server but man these maps are so ass. I feel sorry for the Jedi we're trying to lead also as they just can't do anything in a tight corridor map like that when 80 troopers are trying to push through it and it also then leads to troopers complaining that Jedi are in the way when in reality we're just trying to play the game too

Yeah sorta, Or just make us of the spec ops server more by sending half the regiments to that instead of the main map.
Something to either split up half the regiments just so regiments who can play big maps/with range: 501st, 212th, WP, GC any others can do that on the main server and any other regiment who might get much use of that such as RC, SDW, GM etc can be sent off to spec ops server which will go on during the same time as the event and have a different mission to do

I just wanna be able to do stuff during events which isn't "You land on a planet - You gotta push about 30ft before going to a building - "GM set up breaches" - All EEs/npcs are in the breach - Regiments who isn't RC/GM stay on standby - WP might go in and rescue someone - Event over"

Make events fun with it, Have staff in a VC who is doing both servers and have RC and SDW open RS for the main server so its affected that way and give the feeling of actually being on different planets

I agree. The maps are very basic and it is difficult to give everyone something to do. I tried to give CG and GC something to do while the main base attack was going but apart from sending dropships and NPCs there isn't much else to keep them entertained. I couldn't see a way for the event to go on for a decent amount of time either without stopping people from going over the mountains. There probably were ways to do this but tbf, I didn't plan to do the event today so I was unprepared.

Maps like GM fork are amazing for incorporating everyone, more maps like this would be ideal or making better dupes for the current maps.
