In the past few days I have been playing a lot of TTT and that means I have had the pleasure to play a ton of mini-games. Everytime a mini-game comes on there is two types of people that make their voice heard, those excited to play and those less than excited. I'll be honest and say that I am one of the less excited people nowadays, but only with two mini-games, OCC and Sword Fights. While I may not enjoy playing them, I still love the idea and want to see them brought into a better light. To start, I will discuss what I think needs to be adjusted for OCC to be more enjoyable for everyone.
ONE CLIP CHAOS
As of right now, OCC is pure mayhem when its played. I love this type of chaos but I feel that it might need to be toned down a bit to be more fair for the players participating. I suggest that the spawn timer should be increased, ever so slightly so people are not spawing and dying constantly, give them a break from the disorder. Along with that, perhaps adjusting spawn points to have more space in-between players when the server has above average traffic. I cannot express how many times I, alone, have been spawned into someone else, leading to me getting killed without having much of a fighting chance. I understand that this problem may be difficult to fix due to high traffic being so unpredictable, but I feel that this problem could be somewhat minimized if spawn timers were increased. The second problem I have with the gamemode is how people give up if they get close to the end of their magazine, then asking someone to kill them so they dont lose their progress. In order to avoid this I think there should be a timer for each weapon. For example, you get 30 seconds to get a kill or else it goes back to the previous weapon. I think this would require people to "participate" more and not sit there asking to be killed. I know these problems are minimal but I feel they would make the mini-game more entertaining for a lot of people. Next I have suggestions on how to make Sword Fights more enjoyable.
LONGSWORDS
To start off, I adore Longswords, but I still feel there is room for improvement. Everytime I have played this gamemode I see some fights that end in seconds and some that gone on for minutes. The longer fights are not because of people running but because each fighter keeps swinging, blocking, swinging, blocking, etc. These exchanges are fun but silly to watch and in order to fix this I suggest that people blocking should take minor damage. So when a player blocks an attack have them take 5-10 damage to make sure they arent just trying to play too defensively. Some may argue that "if playing defensively works then you do it too" but this leads to fights that take forever and that is boring for most people playing. I also suggest that there should be a stamina bar for this gamemode. I feel that if each attack used stamina, it would make players think more stratigically and reduce the amounts of random swinging to try hitting someone. Blocking wouldnt use stamina but the player defending would still take damage through their blocks. My last suggestion is to get rid of the -75% gravity on this gamemode. While -75% gravity can be fun, I feel that this makes the gamemode much less enjoyable and more frustrating than anything.
I know many of these suggestions may be hard to impliment and may even be unnecessary but I like to make sure everyone has a good time. While I may not express it all the time due to my salty nature, I love all the mini-games and want to see them enjoyed more than they are right now.
Easter Egg III
This includes a new Crate animation. You can revert to the original via Settings (as well as disable the sounds for this animation):
These are available on the Coinshop for rubies for now, and will be available for coins starting on April 1st. (You can obtain them through the various minigames though)
1 Brand new TTT minigame
Brought back 3 old favorites (Eggital, Egging Mayhem, and Egg Hunt rounds).
One new Lobby based Event.
Changes
Updated the HUD to have small little animations(applied to HP too):
Time played on servers?(!time username to check): 80 hours.
Where did you hear about this server?: Wayy back on NTG.
Have you ever been banned and why?: I have never been banned on FRG, and do not plan to be banned.
Why do you want to join?: I would like to join because this server is a nice escape from the other TTT inventory servers. The community is the least toxic community I have played with which I love,
Referred by: No one.
Additional Details: I will usually not talk in game, I am mostly on discord. But if you need me I will most likely always be looking at the Chat Box.
Have you ever been banned and why: Only once and it was for changing my name.
Why would you like to be promoted?: I would like to be promoted because I see lots of rdm when staff are not on and I always have to out of my way and contact any online staff, but by the time most people will respond the person has already mass rdmed or has left, and not much can be done from there. I’m also on late most of the time also because of where I live I can stay on longer than some people and I catch many late night rdmers.
Why do you think we should promote you?: I think you should promote me because I know the rules, so I know what people can and cannot do. I'm on the server very frequently now and. Finally I’ve play this server for over 600 hours now not much compared to other people but I would like to be a more participating member of this community .
Do you have any administrative experience: Yes I have been admin on a other TTT server a few years back and dealt with lots of people breaking rules.
Do you agree to FRG's policy on applications(yes or no): Yes
(By agreeing above you are agreeing that you understand you are not entitled to said promotion, and that we have all rights to deny or approve the application
for any reason we see fit, you agree to not stir up any trouble if the application outcome is not your desired outcome.
Failing to abide by this can result in a full demote, or perma-denial.)
Additional Details: I’m on very late most of the time and catch many people doing bad things that I want to stop. And this server and its community is very fun and I hope to help out more with it.
Basically the ability would allow blocking (depending on your skill that is, make it like the djinn fists where it requires different swings) of the bullets in a small arc infront of you, but maybe extra damage from every other spot if you still take a hit from a different direction.
Back when the server had a community weapon poll I had submitted ideas a few of my own, but sadly none of them were put in. After talking to a few people, they felt that the one of the weapon I made would be an exciting addition. This gun was "The Artist's Brand"/"Artist's Smite."
"The Artist's Brand" would be a godlike M16 with +30% firerate, -20% accuracy, -15% damage, +10 clip, -10% deploy speed, +25% reload, +5% mobility, and -10% stability. I know these stats are somewhat silly but I think it would be a more interesting type of m16 that doesnt exist as of right now.
For the suffix on the weapon, I thought of "Doodle Assault." For this effect, I wanted to collect a bunch of sketches from people on the server and turn them into part of the suffix. When the effect is proc'd, the victim will be seeing a bunch of drawings swarming and twitching around their screen, obscuring their view and doing minor damage over time, similar to phoenix in its time and damage.
As for the skin, I was thinking of an all black and white m16, resembling sketchpaper. Another idea would be making the M16 bright yellow to resemble a pencil.
I know that most of these kinds of suggestions dont get put in, but I figured I'd give it a shot since the next community weapon poll is unannounced. Thanks for reading and please leave any recommendations/changes to the comments. Lets get a community item that has part of the community in it!
Hello everyone, I wanted to start this with a story.
A long time ago, there was a man with a dream to acquire his first godlike; a goal not unlike many other.
This man had perseverance, passion, and patience; so much so that his goal was not a question of if, but when.
He worked in difficult times when there was little to show for it, he saved what he could for this dream. The man planned tediously, months in advance towards his goal.
Unbeknownst to him and all around him, he had been cursed
Cursed by misfortune, betrayed by random number generation, and eventually done in by his own ideals.
The man put all of his hopes onto this one day, August 5th, a day he made a spectacle of himself that is now remembered as "Unboxing 1".
I'm here to start anew on that tradition and to hopefully right the wrongs of the past.
In one week from today, on April 1st I am hosting my first unboxing.
This idea may seem like a shockingly new idea that nobody has ever done before but I think I will be able to manage it.
April 1st happens to be the day that Easter is on as well as April Fools, I think it'd be the best time for this unboxing as
1. It's the weekend
2. It's a holiday
3. It's another holiday
4. It's in a week so now people can't complain about announcing it too late or too early (whales man)
5. No one can complain about me scamming their crates that they "generously donated" because
6. ???? (in that order)
The theme for this unboxing is "Halloween on Easter" as I'm opening so many halloween themed items on that day and because Christmas in July is already being done by someone else.
I've saved up for a month and a half in anticipation for this and while that may not seem like a long time, I'm literally FRGs most rich, handsome, ironman (in that order). This amount will continue to grow throughout the next week until the day.
Realistically this is a culmination of a ton of different points in time, an upwards of maybe a year in advance WITH a djinn from 8 months ago sprinkled on top for good measure like some kind of sick birthday/christmas present hybrid
I'm unsure of the likeliness of a giveaway as I'm an ironman (btw) and am unable to trade but I will try to seize the means of production so I can give things away. If all else fails I can basically chuck everything into the giveaway and call it a day, but I'd much rather be more tactful than that.
I'm very happy with how far I've come on this account and to be able to do something like this, given the circumstances is a really big honor.
To anyone who actually took a second to read this, thank you.
