One idea I've been toying around with is turning the world map into a sort of game-board, where factions use resources gathered on the server to then launch missions and capture tiles on the world map, with each sector having resources, a set map for the event to take place on, etc. If a faction...

Please do take into consideration the points brought up in this thread about how the rebel faction should probably be encouraged to interact more with the citizen faction. I hope it can at least help a little...

While I appreciate everything the French team is doing to actually get V3 out, if the Rebel faction can't actually impact the server or storyline in any meaningful way then we're just going to get repeats of today. Set the server post-Episode 2. Please let us just fuck around and find out.

I was looking forward to seeing how ConGen played out, and it was the reason why I decided to return to Willard so I could watch the binders play politics and see how I could interact as a citizen. Seeing several staff members being involved in ending the ConGen before it even began is that my...

As someone on the outside looking in, the only question I have is: how does mass PKing a passive citizen faction and committing a mass shooting of tier-1s improve roleplay on the server?

The fact that the rebel faction in HL2RP quite literally never has to interact with the Citizen faction to survive is one of the largest issues in the game mode. Actual resistance movements have deep ties with civilians, using them as a financial and material support base. In the Server Triad...

At the moment, I am writing a bit of a conceptual theory for how best to operate the HL2RP framework, using over a decade of experience I have in being a member of multiple communities, both as a player and as a staff member. While this design theory isn't specifically for Willard Networks, I do...

In my opinion, one of the largest reasons why S2K CvR is so prominent (which requires cops to be heavily armed) is that there is essentially nothing for Civil Protection to do in HL2RP besides getting into shootouts with rebels. Non-violent crime in the HL2RP game mode is essentially...

Yeah, it was for two weeks in C8 before peak was destroyed because CvR addicts were having withdrawals.

We should go back to C8 only if we bring back the Yakuza. The dragons must ride again.

tl;dr for below: Factions lack goals because they're not allowed to change anything about their circumstances, meaning players only care about their individual characters and not a wider storyline, and as a result will prefer to avoid engaging in any roleplay that might cause them to lose their...

Fucking 白人 had to come and ruin the City 8 peak… I still cry.

I've had this thought before. Having one of your stats affect how well you're able to hide something on your body would be cool. I counter the inevitable "Just RP it!" argument by saying this mechanic would cut down on the risk of metagaming. You might beat a cop in a roll and successfully hide...

Since TBC will never come back and we're forced to suffer with S2K, I agree with everything here. Especially gun skill affecting your skill with a gun, as opposed to magically making your bullets hurt more.

>make basic, small, sensible business move >get arbitrarily fined by a faceless, bureaucratic government ministry >demotivate businesses >nobody wants to sell, nobody wants to buy We reinvented Brezhnev-era Soviet stagnation!!!!!!

>All these people saying my idea to remove dispensers has been a positive change Goulashnikov: TOTALLY EXONERATED

So get this: the rebels had three corrupt and ineffective dead Russian governments to choose from for their LARP, and they went with the one that was most corrupt and most ineffective!

CvR MFs will see this and be like "there is no better way to do combat, sorry"

oh dude you know its gotta be the double glazed apple fritters

jfc I watched the entire thing and idk how anyone can enjoy even a second of S2K. +Support but idk if just making it take a chunk of stamina will be enough, since people with maxxed stamina will likely still be able to bunnyhop. A cooldown mixed with stamina drain might be the ticket. Would also...
