Before I get into my rant because I don't wanna do homework because I'm too lazy, THIS IS NOT A SERVER DISS. This is just me simply me talking about some stuff about SCP-RP and its ups and downs. I love gaminglight but I feel like has a few issues that need to be recognized.
Now I wanna kick the ball off about talking about SCP-RP as whole (But were focusing on gaminglight), Now I believe SCP-RP is a really fun and enjoyable experiences for gmod. It may not be beginner friendly due to gmod be quite complicated, but it's a very enjoyable experiences. I've made great friends on SCP-RP and I've met some of my enemies as well. So that's gonna be first point I'm going to make. SCP-RP can be toxic. Don't get me wrong there are a lot of nice and friendly people on SCP-RP but if you jump down the rabbit hole, you can find some really toxic people. I'm not talking about the guys that walk around saying ni**** because they think it's funny, but I'm talking about the people that are just really meanies sometimes. I can not express how many times I've seen a OFC have a power trip and kill every D-Class standing in line for doing thing wrong. I remember one time I had OFC walked straight up to me me when I was on my CC, and mag dump me right in the face for no absolute reason. Now usually it's fine when only happens once or twice but I've had done to me over a good 50+ times. I know these are usually new players and they all make mistakes, but I've even see this shit happen with players that have been on for a while. A perfect example of this is when people fight in OCC. Now I'm fine with player diss if they mean no harm, like people calling each other stupid or dumb, but omg so people take it way too far. I've seen a normal player get mad at SA (Super Admin) for "minging" aren't those guys right under SMT too. Cogs said this pretty well when talk about is CI and gensec thing. Also when I read Gordons LOA he stated one of the reasons he was leaving was because of "The community is overly toxic." which I agree obviously. Not saying everyone a big meanie just some people. To be honest I feel offended that Hoovy changed his pfp and signature to some Sea of thieves stuff. Like I feel betrayed (Jk lol). To be serious though, the community is very toxic sometimes, and someone needs to teach them a lesson. Now I'm not saying be more strict on it, but I'm saying fix it cuz it's broken. I come on here to have fun, not to be shit on by some Gensec LCPL who thinks he's better them cuz he has an smg, and it's 30 feet away from me. I don't wanna point fingers to anyone just wanna express my feelings about toxicity.
Now one more thing I think that's an issue is replay value. This server doesn't have any special way for making the server replayable but they do at the same time. You see I am a D-Class main because I am reckless, a minge, and just absolutely anilaghting gensec with a hammer. However doing the same thing over and over and over, just gets boring. D-Class never riot any unless there's a CI raid because they just buff gensec and not D-Class. Thus making the replay value to new players boring. I once invited a friend to play on the server, and he quickly decided he didn't like it because "All we do is get shot and killed and it's boring as hell" making the replay value for new players and old players almost non redundant. Gaminglight needs to tweak the replay value for players because doing the same thing over and over again is just boring as hell. I'm not shiting on gaminglight, hell I love gamimnginglight it just needs something new and special you know. The only way to get a new feeling anymore is to pay. That's why I bought a CC because I just got bored of using the same weapons over and over again.
I love gaminglight as much as I love DooM (But I still love DooM more) it just get's boring after a while. A lot of people are toxic and strict, it get's boring after a while, and just the fact I don't have a mini-gun on my CC yet upsets me (lol), but to be honest here gaminglight is a great server platform/community. However I needed to step away from it for awhile because of how toxic players can be sometimes, and replay value. I also had to stop because of some personal things I don't really wanna get into right now, but I'm just giving my opinion. I've spent around $300 on this server and first played back in february of 2019 so I've seen gaminglight evolve. Anyways I just wanted to get that stuff my chest, I'm not dissing the server, cuz I love the server, and I'm dissing any of the players either. I just felt like SCP-RP needs a few tweaks again and It'll be running better than ever.
I only poo poo farted for the good of humanity
