What would you like to see out of events?

[Lex]

Greeting HaloRP.
​

If you do not know me I am Lex, the current Halo RP Head Gamemaker. Our gamemaking team is always looking for ways to improve our events so that you all can have a better experience whilst playing on the server. Today, I am asking you guys to tell me what you would like the see. Please include anything you would like me to tell my team directly that would make our events a better experience for you to enjoy. Thank you to all who participate to this thread, have a nice day.

Lex​

I feel as if most of the time there is ideas set by the game makers but they are thinking in general, not how to incorporate it on server. A bit of before planning with events so players do not have to wait a hour on map just standing while there planning still or re doing ideas.

Maybe events a bit more often, right now its maybe two or three in 24 hours. I'm not talking about main events I'm talking in general including filler or mini.

A bit more communication and freedom between gamemakers and players. Theres been some events with zero to no communication, without a baseplate or leader, and some times lacking with a updated objective leaving players who finished a task like clearing a area sitting wondering "Well now what". This is one of the major things that make events great and run smoothly and keeps people happy knowing they accomplished a task or have some general idea to work towards.


Please do not take any of what I've said here in a bad manner, this is simply for improvement. I love the game maker team they make the server worth playing and bring the most fun moments.

♡Keep up the good work. It's nice you want to reach out and get our ideas. ^-^​

If possible could you get more maps?

 

[Slacker]

More Forerunner maps, Get some ONI Blacksites in there, Give us some NEW MOMBASA, Love it.

Make events that focus on divisions/units that aren’t Oni, freelancers, Spartans. If we could get an event were say SoS play a large role, or where say marines and oni need to work together to accomplish an objective. Right now it feels like every event story involves somthing detailed and lore rich for Oni, Spartans, freelancers while the majority of the server are used as guards or just walked down a path and given NPCs to shoot.

Don’t get me wrong I understand that the special operations units need stuff to do too but I don’t see why every event they need to go off and do it on their own, more often than not it feels like events are catered towards their enjoyment rather than the average player.

Lastly, event characters that are crazy over powered and exist to just slaughter anyone without shields. Examples of this would be cloaked snipers, cloaked guys with 1000 hp running around with spartan killer shotguns. No marine can kill these targets no matter how hard they train or play.

In closing I’ve seen some really quality events come out of GMs lately, and some no so great ones. I think I, and the rest of the players on the server with under 200hp and non overpowered weapons would enjoy events more if they focused more on us, the majority.

Sorry if that got rambly it’s 6:22am lol

If you know of some good maps under 80 mb on the workshop, we have a google doc in Lex’s head game maker channel which is for the gamemakers to suggest maps for next rotation. I’d say throw anything you think is along those lines on that list.

 

[Redacter]

basically what the others said lol

As an old long time player I would massively agree that we need some more maps, as of late we have had little map variety, when back then we had tons of maps to use. I understand things have changed since last year and everything but it would be a really nice breath of fresh air.

Also, events with depth are lacking, there are a few that are created here and there and are usually not too bad at all. Though sometimes I feel as if the GM is literally just making something to make their quota and not actually putting any effort into what is being put out at all, which becomes a boring event and players start to either DC or simply AFK till its over.

Thank you for your feedback.
A lot of your points I have been talking to my team already but will continue to stress in these coming weeks. We always wants events to flow and it to be clear for players what is happening on missions and why they're doing it.

Yes. We have map rotations every few weeks but are only allowed a certain amount of maps of certain sizes.

It's is a goal to make sure everyone gets a good amount of RP during their events. I understand where it's been focused and am trying to have my team allow ever group to have RP that would match what their regiment is. As for event characters, you gotta remember it's 1 person vs ~ 50.

I agree completely. I will be stressing to my teams the importance of bringing back the story aspects of our events and try our best so that the entire server is effected one way or another.

From the perspective of an SoS Jackal Commander, our players are treated like nothing with most events, with rarely even being given specific tasks so we just stick with the marines.
> Load in
>Wait for green light
>Shoot some shit with little rp
>Go home and wait on your ass for several hours
We need more off map events to include a more important roll rather than guarding shit for SoS, doesn't have to be ONI classified, but something simple enough to make our troops feel special. ​

(Of course keep in mind this is from my experience with all of the events I have participated in with the past month. I hear how some events are amazing, and I'm proud, this is just general advice for future events.)

More organization, holy shit. Half of the time I don't know what I'm supposted to be doing and I'm a PILOT
