G-mod laptop users this is my rage directed towards you
Ah, now you know what I was talking about with the dagoth ur gaming laptop meme in loocI don’t even use a gaming laptop I use some shitty dell that can barely run chrome
yet im still baallin
(please end my suffering)
ngl idk why the combine isn't allowing negotiation with sympathisers etc, considering the city (was) apparently filled to the brim with people.Alright, it's my time to give feedback, I've played both the CP, and civ side and felt it was time to let it all out.
At first, it was new and refreshing, However after the 1st map, it got stale rather quickly. It turned into doing nothing until an RL or admin came on to pull us out of our outpost for either a patrol, or mini event. Although the mini events are typically cool, It gets very very stale when you can't do anything besides wait for people to get on, go out and S2K and repeat. Luckily, the army put its green weenie down on me so I got a good week long break and figured maybe I was burnt out. Since I've been back its been more or less the same. I was able to get a friend interested into the server and decided to make a civ character with him for us toi play together. Very quickly we realized just about the only thing to do is be a rebel. We tried to branch away from that, trying to find a middle ground and keep to ourselves. Somehow that became playing basketball because it was the only form of RP that wasn't "god the combine suck" or Overly friendly everyone who just gives handouts (which is nice, but it's EVERYONE). there is no "rebel groups fighting each other for power". It's just all faction warfare. We had a combine sniper literally decide to S2K us last night mid basketball game (we weren't even armed) then today he shot the ball out of my hand and it was deleted. For no reason. On the civ side, Playing gmod basketball has been the only source of fun on the server. We don't want to be forced into being a rebel, so after our ball got shot we were like ok, let's head over to the combine, talk to them, we have some information on the rebels and weapons we can trade just to get a basketball back.
We get to their gate, and begin speaking with them at first it was going rather well. Then we let them search us, they take our weapons and whatnot (which we told them we had prior to being searched). We merely asked for their sniper not to shoot us, and if they could procure us a new basketball. In exchange we would give them Names, locations, and the radio frequency of the rebels.
The RP we got was as follows:
CP: "Your deal is improbable"
Me: "What about it is improbable? We just want our basketball back"
CP: "we'll spare your life and thats all we dont care about actionable intelligence, and thanks for the guns."
The whole thing just makes it seem like everyone's so conditioned into S2K that event trying to foster some semblance of RP that isnt Rebel V combine is impossible. I get it may have been slightly cringe to want it back. But its is the only fun we've been able to find on the server being civs. I get the server is sorta geared towards this rebel v combine thing now. But gosh is it stale. I was hoping I could be pulled out of all the faction BS by making a civ char, but unfortunately it seems pretty impossible. My buddy is already bored as hell, I feel bad because I sorta hyped things up to him, hoping to have a good experience. But sadly from both ends its just the rebel side is like overly "Love us love us love us" and the combine side is just so used to S2K (I am a CP this is coming from a place of love), that they can't find a way to interact besides "we'll let you live muahahaha, get out". All it would've taken is for them to be like give up the info, and you'll get a basketball. It didn't even have to be true. but they didn't even take the information! I found it pretty hard to wrap my head around. We even explained that the rebels gassed out our home and it pissed us off. Idk I guess this sounds like i'm malding over a basketball but its deeper than that. The overall RP has kinda dipped in quality on the server it seems.
All in all, I think a break from the S2K constant war stuff would be nice, There should be some middle ground to foster RP in and make it possible to RP being a displaced civilian. The rinse and repeat of S2K is growing increasingly stale. in my opinion, and no amount of map changes will keep that from happening.
Me neither, truth be told. Allowing and encouraging collaborators would be sick as fuck.ngl idk why the combine isn't allowing negotiation with sympathisers etc, considering the city (was) apparently filled to the brim with people.
I think there should be some sort of accommodation for those trying to roleplay as a refugee/citizen character, someone who doesn't want to fight, just to live y'knowAlright, it's my time to give feedback, I've played both the CP, and civ side and felt it was time to let it all out.

I was not the CP in the basketball incident and I wasn't there, but I can say we have found ways to collaborate with certain people loyal through various means so it is definitely possible for that type of RP. We have a few people actively working with us currently, it's just kept under wraps (for obvious reasons)ngl idk why the combine isn't allowing negotiation with sympathisers etc, considering the city (was) apparently filled to the brim with people.
It's an unfortunate truth that people still get pissy over gmod s2k and try to min-max that shit. I try to avoid those people, and do my own little ic shit on the Combine, from intentionally fumbling to genuine fear/pain RP as one would expect. It keeps shit fresh, I'm not out to win every engagement I just want to make an atmosphere for others.Alright, it's my time to give feedback, I've played both the CP, and civ side and felt it was time to let it all out.

Some good feedback, but I want to give some context for this, because you're making it seem like we shoot every bluesuit we come across.Somehow that became playing basketball because it was the only form of RP that wasn't "god the combine suck" or Overly friendly everyone who just gives handouts (which is nice, but it's EVERYONE). there is no "rebel groups fighting each other for power".

missed the opportunity not to reserve this for a north American xen infestation setting, which is basically happening just in the least eastern European looking map possibleAnother thing is that it's a bit odd to use one of the most American looking maps to roleplay being in an Eastern European city
GUESS WHAT THE RANCH EXISTS FOR WE NEED PLAYERS THANK YOUI think there should be some sort of accommodation for those trying to roleplay as a refugee/citizen character, someone who doesn't want to fight, just to live y'know
