TheAtrocity Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) So I've been inspired by a certain fellow member's idea of what they call "The Purge". Basically, it's when teamkilling is allowed. To be honest, almost everyone enjoys it. I'm pretty confident that an overwhelming majority would like it if they weren't so new to the HG server or the concept of "The Purge", or even possible the suddenness of it. What I propose is to make The Purge a REGULAR "ZS Event" open to the general public, say every 24 hours. This will STILL put emphasis on traditional GMod ZS, as many players are used to and enjoy playing, but at the same time introducing a "Hunger Games/Purge/Walking Dead-style ZS twist. There could be a small timer on the top left to indicate time left for The Purge so as to give 1) earnest players to prepare and 2) unwilling players to leave for a short amount of time before rejoining. I believe since many people find this innovative idea interesting and actually entertaining in numerous aspects, this may raise our 1) ranking, 2) popularity, 3) retention rates, and 4) overall population (and core supporters) Here are some suggestions (note form): >The Purge Event every 24 hours, probably in the afternoon. >A SET of specific maps ideal for the event (some for variety; run n' gun flatgrass? Team vs. Team abandoned mall -smaller cades may add some fun-?) >2-3x longer pre-wave 1 "intermission" so as to allow sufficient load/barricade/planning times. >Allow ONLY fresh dead to spawn >Restrict higher tier weaponry until the waves progress >Increased human HP by some amount >Intermission: no zombie spawning, no team killing, all those alive are returned to FULL hp >Last human alive gets 300-400? (just a thought, numbers can be changed) *Some feedback, additions, subtractions, and edits are appreciated! :') Edited December 15, 2014 by TheAtrocity 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noun Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) It seems these purge events are popular with the players and that can possibly boost up our population numbers into the 90s-100s with this event.

the kitsune queen Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Carnage is real! I hope this gets at least the greenlight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAtrocity Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 i dont think flat grass would work out Just some thoughts on the map, I have no way to test this out for myself and see which maps are good for the event. I will say, if we restrict sniper rifles, how would that be then? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the kitsune queen Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I feel like maps like infected square and such wouldn't be good. Even without a sniper, it could be too easy so some players to pick at others below them before they can do anything about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webflashing Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 What do you think would be a good map then? Bigcity, or unless you want the whole human team to die in 10 secs play one of the regular zs maps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa John Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Sounds like a plan. I am currently working to overhaul our existing event system to make it more robust and structured. The Purge, along with other events, will be included in this new system and it will follow a schedule (albeit a slightly randomized one). Thanks for the suggestion! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knifes_96 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 yea i think a DarkRP map would be good and one that nobody really knows so we can all be noobs on that map Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenDover Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 yea i think a DarkRP map would be good and one that nobody really knows so we can all be noobs on that map There's an old very good map for ZS called "zs_final_fantasy" or something like that. It's a complete arena and could be used as scrap for your event plans. If not, I'll provide an excellent map in my gmod folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
