I've not been having fun on TTT the last few months (on the times i did play) and whether it was sweaty people or hitreg/lag or just flat out boredom its just not fun anymore. I uninstalled gmod a few days ago and have not had the urge to get on to play even when the event pass was out and the only content i really like is PVE (Kraken, Lyrus, Iod etc) and i just don't have a group to do them anymore.

Now i might pop on to do new PVE events (boss rush pls) if and when they get added if i see them but atm FRG/Gmod is just not fun anymore and runs horribly for whatever reason.

So i guess this is goodbye? or a temporary goodbye? Not too sure.

Also, i've left the discord and any that were related to FRG/Gmod so if you would like to keep in touch my discord is PandaCow#3452 .

To Brass and all admins/mods of FRG. Thank you for taking care of me/us on a daily basis for things ranging from banning assholes, RDMers, hackers, or helping with mental distress. Yall don't deserve most of the shit you get from the community...except mousey. #SplatTheRat

It's been a fun year.

I.E flamethrower from hellfire/dragonstrike don't count.
Valv-er, Brass, pls fix.
Wait, I need to be more specific. At least for the "X secondary kills" it doesn't work.

Sort of like how Lyrus or Kraken notify the server, instead of it randomly happening on TTT, instead on the lobby it can start a "Dilapidation queue" and anyone who wants to join can go there and partake in it. Should happen just as commonly as the TTT.

Its just a ballache on TTT because while I don't want to do it and its just getting in the way, even if I go to another server there probably won't be anyone there because everyone is too lazy. YES, this thread will have massive backlash, but if you like dilapidation wouldn't it be cool if it could happen more often, more freely?

Like, shit, I wanna play TTT, not shoot a fucking frog with 400000 life for 30 minutes. Its boring.

People complain about minigames, but jesus a 2 minute ball throwing fest is better than 30+ minutes shooting bullet sponge enemies just for 25 random crates. Its not even the reward, even if the reward was god-tier I still wouldn't CHOOSE to do it.

Now, I know you're going to say "JUST GO TO THE OTHER SERVER" or "JUST WAIT FOR IT TO FINISH" and I don't WANT to. The other server is DEAD. Waiting just means me doing NOTHING.

REEEEEEEEEEE
I hate it I hate it I hate it

Now that I have recently reached top 50 leaderboard fishing, I feel like I have an opinion on a fishing update.

Fishing at the moment is boiled down to getting two things, Rusty Keys or Loud Discombobs, but there could be a lot more to fishing in the future with how many I do see fish.


The two sections I'm going to put these into are changes/fixes and suggestions. Changes/fixes are going to focus on what is already in fishing, but could be changed or fixed to be a bit better. Suggestions are what could be in a fishing update at some point in the future.


CHANGES/FIXES
-Change the amount of tidals that are given within Rusty Keys

-Change the amount of tidals that can be given from fishing sequences (You are given one tidal even if you finish a 3 letter, 5 letter, or even 7 letter sequence)

-Change the price or buff the utility of the rods within the fishing shop (Most of the fishing rods you can obtain purely by fishing or for just a few thousand coins on the market are better than all the rods in the fishing shop)

-Fix bait sometimes not automatically disappearing once fully used (ex. https://i.imgur.com/DDAxwpw.png; sometimes this'll come out of the socket once fully used and sometimes automatically disappear as I believe intended)

-Change the amount of letters some certain sequences can have like Shark (Some shark sequences, mainly only the godlike sharks, have the same amount of letters as a stormforged sequence. Although godlike sharks are the best for fish bucks

-BUFF HYDRA (Was paid to say that)



SUGGESTIONS
-Rename "NoIdeaWhatToCallThisCurrency" to "Fish Bucks" or something simple

-Add new fishing-level specific items and drops

-Add "Lost Scrolls" as a fishing-level specific drop or kraken drop that can introduce recipes similar to inscribed tablets in TTT which include fishing recipes for new rods, bait, and other new fishing items.

-Add more items into the fishing shop like rods, baits, and maybe even some items needed to craft items from Lost Scrolls

-Allow for certain high tier rods to be "enhanced" by purely fishing with them, unlocking new abilities and additions to the rod, some of which can include
Chance for rod durability to not be used on a catch by x%
Chance for bait durability to not be used on a catch by x%
Increase the amount of fishing xp gained by a catch by x%
Increase the chance to catch bigger fish by x%

-Add new low to high tier fish based on fishing level, some of which can include
Dolphin (Desc : Squeak squeak.)
Whale (Desc : Impossible...)
Hammerhead Shark {Alternative} (Desc : HOLY DJINN! How did this get in the lake?!)
Clownfish (Desc : We found him.)

-A new assortment of "Addons" that can be put on some rods to increase or change something about them. Some of which can include,
Bait Synergizer, allowing for two baits to be used at once.
Wood/Metal/Steel Rod Handle, increasing the chance to not use rod durability by x% (depending on handle).
Treasure Singularity, giving an x% chance to double your reel rewards.
Reinforced Shaft, giving 50% more durability to your rod when equipped.
Tasty Bait, increasing catching rate by x%

-A new primordial gun type called Deep Sea, which has...
-10% to -20% Accuracy
5% to 15% Damage
-20% Deploy Speed
0% to 10% Firerate
0% to 10% Mobility
30% Stability
35% Reload Speed
Has two given traits :
*Deals x% more damage while underwater.
*Deals x% more damage to enemies with more than 5,000 Base Health.
Also has one secret trait in which you take no drowning damage. This is meant to be an interesting hydra alternative.


These are just a few of the ideas I have at the moment for a cool fishing update. I will add more if I see some really cool ideas.

I need money big moneys.

There's a quest where you have to scan and kill 10 traitors with the traitor tester gun, and one where you need to follow the DNA to 10 traitors and kill them.
The latter isn't that bad, but its still a very slow quest and it only rewards 8 fragments. For example, the buckshot quest (Kill 10 people who have a shotgun) gives >25< fragments. That's also WAY easier.

These quests, if they're easy, should become something like "Scan and kill a traitor with the tester gun" (You still need to be a det, buy a tester gun, survive until its usable and scan the correct player, AND get the kill), and the DNA one should just be 2-3.

Age: 21 (5-21-98)

Steam Name(Current): Not John Smith

Time played on servers?(!time username to check): 189 TTT (614 total)

Where did you hear about this server?: I was very active on NTG and joined FRG late 2014 I believe, when it first started.

Have you ever been banned and why?: No

Why do you want to join?: I've been a Staff or Development member on every ttt inventory server since 2013, I think (other than wogs lol). Now that I'm very active in FRG and its community, thought I'd work my way to staff here as well to hopefully help out a little.

Referred by: old ntg friends from years and years ago that I still see on here all the time (:

Additional Details: It's been really fun reconnecting with old players, I missed you guys. For those new faces that I've just recently met, you all are very friendly and a lot of you have helped me learn everything new there is to know about this server and its community. I hope I can continue to help new players as you all have helped me.

At least it did on dilapidation. It did NOT work on oxylus though. I basically had infinite HP regen otherwise. May/may not work in other events? idk I don't do them

I think the biggest issue with FRG's TTT experience* right now is the amount of mobility a player can gain. While it's fun to ZOOM around, it's really unfun to encounter/play against people zooming at mach10. I'd like to read peoples opinions on this matter here, if it should be nerfed, how it should be nerfed, or if it should be left alone.

I personally think it got out of hand, I saw mobi stuff was people's favorite type of item/trait, and got a little out of hand with it. What do you guys think?

Denizens of FRG! you may log on sometime soon and notice something a little... PECULIAR... when you go to access the Septimus Forerunner Fragment shop.

IT HAS RECIEVED A TOTAL OVERHAUL!!

Yes, the forerunner fragment shop now contains more kinds of EPIC guns!!



As you can see, there is a high variety of multi-traited and rare guns of limited quality in this shop. How exciting! HOW... [EPIC]!!

Also, something something the quests themselves got changed. WHO CARES! : )
