-hg- Clan Application Game Division Garry's Mod In-Game Name MomsSpaghetti Location Melbourne, Victoria How old are you? 16 Which games (servers) do you play on? Zombie Survival How long have you been playing on our servers? A few months now, roughly 6 months What is your Steam ID / GUID? (This is NOT your Steam name!) STEAM_1:1:46403614 Why do you want to join HG? I wish to join HG as you all seem like rather enjoyable individuals to be around and it's nice to just pop on the server and start playing as it doesn't require really any skill. Furthermore, it'll be nice to be apart of a community new to myself as it will allow me to expand more and get to know more servers. All members are required to be on our TeamSpeak3 Server whenever playing on our servers. Will you agree with this rule? Yes Do you have any current VAC bans? No Who (if anyone) referred you to apply? N/A Any other information you want to include? There is nothing more for me to include :)

I don't agree with upgradeable groups as a means for acquiring gameplay-changing perks. Balancing the Zombie Survival game mode is difficult enough as it is -- adding group perks adds an extra layer of complexity the game mode doesn't need right now. Additionally, a group who has all the perks would stand out as the group everyone wants to join because they will have the best gameplay bonuses. That creates unnecessary divisions in the player base, and we want to avoid that. From your suggestion, because XP is now an available currency in the game mode, I think it would be better to have members in a group be able to contribute the XP they earn to the group XP pool, allowing groups to level up and earn purely cosmetic in-game bonuses. We definitely want to stay away from making points a leveling factor because we already have the Cards system, which is a major points sink, and there are people with point banks past 6, even 7, digits, so any group they join can easily inflate it with levels. Below are examples for how group leveling and receiving group cosmetic bonuses would work. Ex.: XP Contribution: A member of a group who earns 50 XP will contribute that same amount of XP to the group. From a design perspective, this means the required group XP to level up a group would have to be significant to accommodate group leveling, otherwise, leveling a group would be too easy when it isn't one person alone achieving the same levels normally designed for one person. Ex. - Receiving Group Cosmetic Bonuses: Your group is level 4 right now, and to reach level 5, your group needs 250,000 XP. Your group eventually hits at, or past, 250,000 XP and reaches level 5. They unlock a cool badge to display on their in-game profile that is unobtainable by other means. We also want it where leaving the group removes group cosmetic bonuses. Ex. - Removal of Cosmetic Bonuses: Your group reaches level 20 and earns a cool emote to use in the text chat, which is unobtainable by other means. Should this person leave the group, or be kicked, they can no longer use that emote. It will disappear from their list of available emotes. Improving groups this way gives them more value, without disrupting the gameplay currently being worked on for balancing. With the current group size limit and custom group names, by making all the rewards the same for every group, the only uniqueness comes from the group itself -- the rewards are an icing on the cake. Thus, the contest between groups would be based on who's part of the group, and not the game-changing perks a group can provide.

Attention please read this before proceeding I am simply suggesting that the cards have special abilities after some certain level, the following are JUST ideas that I think would be good and are not FINAL, if you like the "suggestion" itself but not the following ideas or think some of them need some change then please reply what you think should be changed or added. But if you don't like the "suggestion" from the first place then feel free to object with a reply stating why you don't like it or why it should not be there. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why, what is the difference between this and normal upgrading? The reason I have suggested this is to encourage people to spend and have more reasons to collect points, other than the fact there are some cards untouched by the majority so it would be fun to actually see people seek to upgrade them and the difference is that these special abilities are a one time thing unlike the normal upgrading which attributes slowly upgrade till the card is maxed. And you might notice some of the following abilities have a unique power to them and you might be like if they are used by multiple they will be kind of overpowered while that is partially true but you have to remember that not everyone has the same number of cards, or even the same cards themselves, and maybe not even the will to upgrade in the first place. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keywords On kill --> In kill feed, it only shows your name as the killer no one else with you On assist --> In kill feed, it shows that you assisted someone in killing On use --> Applies only when you are using the weapon Consecutive --> One after another without a gap (miss) in between --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let us start, I will not cover all cards but the ones I have thought of ideas for.
