Popular Post Tomato Posted June 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2022 This is going to be a long post so bare with me for the time being. GL has gone almost pay to win and is catering almost exclusively to combat rather than proper RP. The admins and Zeeptin are actively censoring those who speak up against them making money. This all began yesterday when Ash was banned from the discord for having an opinion about the current state of the donations for GL. Ash was promptly told that he/she had an uneducated opinion and was banned when they spoke against the donation incentives. Zeeptin personally stepped in and I was able to share some messages to him in General on the discord. These messages were dismissed and brushed off and Zeeptin requested I make a forum post about them. Well, Here I am. Gaminglight SCP-RP has shifted form a RP based server to one that revolves around combat. Donation incentives over the past years have revolved around the following set of steps. Number 1, a new weapon is added to the game that is either overpriced or overpowered (Example, any of the legendary items). Number 2, that weapon causes havok on the server and is buffed shortly after release. The cycle then repeats indefinitely. The class D are given priority on the server and are handed ample opportunities to disrupt roleplay for those who wish to actually spend their time in a branch. Meanwhile, branches like Research and Medical suffer to the point where they are actively suppressed and forced to hide in bunks the whole day due to the near constant riots and unsettling in D Block. Can anyone recall a time on this server in recent memory where it was code blue and research, medical, and other branches could actually get RP done without getting murked by class D? I cant. Class D are given weapon after weapon to use against security. Now I know what you may be thinking, "The weapons are not JUST for class D. Anyone can buy them" and this is true, but from what I have seen, a majority of weapons bought on GL are used in class D riots. Why is combat prioritized over actual RP? Why are new weapons rolled out month after month and SCP's barley added. Why are Class D encouraged to not join a branch and keep playing as class D? It's simply, Class D make GL money. The server caters towards the random person who buy's Gmod, doesn't know what an SCP is, joins the server, doesn't know how to change a job and stays as class D, gets killed so they buy a weapon or two and they play for a month until they get bored and leave or eventually get banned for being racist. That is who this server caters to. Not the people who put effort into the server and spend hours of their time trying to make it better for others. This server has turned into team deathmatch with a sprinkling of SCP's on the side. Instead of putting effort into the models and fixing the horrible lag by mending the map, it's easier to put a weapon in the store that does too much damage, charge way to much for it so people think it does more, and sell it to class D. It's lazy. When is the last time a new model was added to the server that wasn't just ripped off from another game? For Christ sake we have a doofenschmertz model. Is it that hard to just come up with a dude in a science outfit? This is ignoring the outrageous prices for a custom clan/model. Or the Fortnite dances. Every weapon added makes the server feel like just another combat server and pushes the very ideals of the RP side away, making the server feel empty and hollow for those looking to RP. I can hear the complaining now. "Tomato, you have no idea how to run a server! You don't know how much it costs to run a GMOD server in 2022. We shouldn't talk about money open like this!". Well, why not? Why is money on the server such a taboo topic? Why proudly flash on the homepage of the forums that someone donated if it's such an issue? I have been a loyal player on this server for 3 years. I have put over 2600 hours of my life into this server. I feel like i should have some idea where the money is going to other than the pockets of the owners. Even if that is not the case, I feel like all that donation money should have some reflection on the server. But it doesn't does it. The server is still unoptimized. There are so many useless props on the server that serve no purpose. I cant go from LCZ to HCZ without getting massive lag spikes. God forbid the server count get above 100 players because then the lag is unbearable. How is that acceptable in 2022? If this was 2008 then yea I could see that maybe it would be hard to run a GMOD server. All that donation money coming in and the server runs like its being powered by a hamster on a wheel. There is a reason we make jokes about that. It's because its true. And the truth will get me banned. By the time you are reading this I will probably be banned for having an opinion. Keep in mind, I have not insulted anyone or called anyone anything derogatory. I have not threatened anyone or done anything to get banned, but I probably will be. This server and it's owners do not like those who speak up against their ways. Frankly that is not only insulting but also scummy. Unfortunately, I have to bring up the money trail in order to get any attention. It's not like we can just reach out to Zeeptin on the discord (why even be in the discord if you are not going to interact with anyone on the server). If I am banned, it just shows that we are not allowed to have an opinion on this server at all. As a business owner and a public figure, you should be able to stand up to criticism and not throw down the ban hammer the second an opinion is made that you do not like. This is the only part of this post where I am directly referencing someone. Zeeptin, let people speak their minds without fear of being removed. This is to say, as long as they are actively trying to better the server. If they are just walking around calling the admins the R word then yea, ban them. But if they are concerned about the state of the server and worried about the direction it is heading, then hear them out. Even if nothing is done at all, just let them speak their mind. Here are some steps that can be done to fix the server. 1. Fix the lag. I don't care how it's done just fix it. Get better computers to run it. Hire people to optimize the map. Get rid of useless props. Something needs to be done. 2. Remove useless SCP's and add more interesting ones. I will be happy (as I'm sure others will) to suggest fun and new SCP's to include on the server. 3. Go out of your way to encourage Class D to join a branch. Make it as easy as possible to join a branch from the menus. Advertise it in big bold letters on walls. Something. 4. Don't rush it. Take your time and do this properly. Don't just rush out a new SCP in a week and hope that keeps us quiet. To anyone who has an opinion on this and wants to speak up, do so in the comments here. Don't target people or call names, just voice honest criticism about the server and suggest what can be done to make it better. I want this server to thrive. I want to see 128/128 players every day. However, if the server keeps heading in this direction, it's better off to just remove everything but gensec and class D and let them duke it out until everyone gets bored and leaves forever. Also, this is a totally unacceptable response to someone on the discord (see attached image). -Tomato 10 7 Former DHOR Tomato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PandaInShitpostLand Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 (edited) The server needs a development team to assist in running. Zeeptin should have plenty of money in the bank to afford one instead of relying on the managers who have to do school work and are in college. I can imagine many issues being fixed if there's a dev team giving critiques and fixing issues. We don't need more donator weapons, we need more optimizations and rp additions. 1. there needs to be a weapons overhaul. sure, tfa works, but its boring and unreliable. give us something, anything. 2. D-Class needs to be weakened. you can have D-Class be powerful but Gensec needs to be able to defend against them, if that means nerfing my favorite thing to play on the server then by all means go for it. Research insta die trying anything 3. a map update. Things need to be changed and D-Block made much more secure, not just gensec standing next to a fence, add a wall and gate with a keycard, so for d-class to riot they need to hack open a gate and rush at once. There is a general suggestion "What do you want to see in the next map update" where ive elaborated further. 4. Can we be less strict on what we can say. the "GL Filter" makes you feel like you are walking on eggshells, you cannot insult anyone. and gamers like to insult people. it doesnt need to be so you can be the most toxic person in the world, but can we not get muted for jokingly saying "go fuck yourself" 5. SCP's need to be buffed or changed. they need to be a force to be reckoned with and the primary threat for mtf, the primary threat shouldn't be CI, it should be an SCP who can wipe out squads apon squads of mtf. 6. Decrease TTK. this is an RP server, want it to be even remotely realistic? then dont make it so it takes 2 AR clips to kill one fuckin guy. it should take 4 headshots max If everyone who comments critiques gets banned/removed. it will prove your point, if the server heads down this path then it will die. it needs to be changed, reworked, and stuff done. even if that means shutting it down for a day for maintenance.

Hex-G Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 +Support @Tomato Thank you for saying all the things I wish I could say as a Security member. It has been an upward fight to be in this branch. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love it here and know everyone by name. I think that it gets progressively more difficult as time goes on. Security is in a state where we need to have number advantages against D-Class. None of the main jobs are a threat, only the CCs (and mobsters can be dangerous too). We recently made a Sub-Branch called Juggernauts in an attempt to promote more activity as well as have some stronger jobs to deal with the constant "sandwich battle" between D-Class and CI. Even then, getting any buff for Security was a massive battle with the higher ups and is still a struggle to get what we were told we could have. I miss escorting researchers with genuinely interested D-Class to an SCP to see what it does. Now, D-Class get even more chaotic with no researchers and when there are researchers the D-Class target them and kill them almost instantly. The only way to fix the downward spiral is to do some form of overhaul. This is become a server that is not "SCP-RP", its "SCP-Deathmatch". Pick a side and shoot all the other people. And if you wanted to play: Medical, Maintenance, Research, or RnD, good luck. I mostly feel bad for new players. They will join the server and see a warzone and most people will play for a while and never come back. The ones that stay will likely buy a CC and get banned a while later for toxicity of some kind, that's just the player base this game mode attracts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nydekore Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) I'm gonna break this down bit by bit here in how I see things as 1 hour ago, Tomato said: These messages were dismissed and brushed off Zeeptin is a rather busy person, as little as some would believe it. 1 hour ago, Tomato said: SCP-RP has shifted form a RP based server to one that revolves around combat This is rather true and it's one of my bigger issues with the server as of right now. I do believe that this is perhaps partially due to the amount of utter chaos we have at any given time. 1 hour ago, Tomato said: Class D are given weapon after weapon to use against security. Does it really matter though? Regardless of selection, dclass having any weapons at all could produce results like this. I don't think the weapons are at fault but rather the players who use them with no intention of roleplaying. 1 hour ago, Tomato said: Every weapon added makes the server feel like just another combat server and pushes the very ideals of the RP side away, making the server feel empty and hollow for those looking to RP. Again, does quantity really matter? Like, it doesn't really make much of a difference. 1 hour ago, Tomato said: Zeeptin, let people speak their minds without fear of being removed. You won't be punished so long as you don't verge on calling anything "scammy" or otherwise insult the community's business model in a way which would make it seem untrustworthy as that is how you will lose the server revenue and thus cause major issues. If communities could be made free of charge I'm sure there wouldn't be as many VIP weapons but it is an affront to the business practices to call it a "scam". I am almost certain that as it stands no one is going to be punished for this as this is simply discussion. This isn't a police state, it's a gaming community. 1 hour ago, Tomato said: Fix the lag. I don't care how it's done just fix it. Get better computers to run it. Hire people to optimize the map. Get rid of useless props. Something needs to be done. Easier said than done but I believe SMT try their best on this one. 1 hour ago, Tomato said: Remove useless SCP's and add more interesting ones. I will be happy (as I'm sure others will) to suggest fun and new SCP's to include on the server. Go ahead and suggest them! 1 hour ago, Tomato said: Go out of your way to encourage Class D to join a branch. Make it as easy as possible to join a branch from the menus. Advertise it in big bold letters on walls. Something. We do have the decals, though if you have something further again, suggest it! 1 hour ago, Tomato said: Don't rush it. Take your time and do this properly. Don't just rush out a new SCP in a week and hope that keeps us quiet. Playtesting is necessary for balancing, otherwise I don't think SMT are "rushing" anything, SCP-354 was a rather balanced SCP, for example, it simply needed to be tweaked a little following community feedback, which Coltable/SMT in general took quite well and made a change which I think helped. Overall, I think you're worrying too much. Sure, RP needs a bit of a boost and I think cutting down on the constant guns-only approach we currently see on the server would help with that but this is nothing catastrophic. Perhaps SMT could host a server-wide discussion aimed at tackling some of these issues and getting concerns out there. Communication is vital to the health of any roleplaying experience.

_Alpha_ Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I definetly support this, its simply not fun at all to have this constant fighting with nothing to do.

The Gaming Goat Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 GL is on a collision course for certain destruction. Shitty mega events churned out, rules in ET are not even enforced. The life and soul that was in ET has slowly died out. Also for those wondering, I did not resign. Instead I was removed by TAlila & SMT then the rest of ET were lied to about it. If you want to remove me for inactivity, at least be honest about it. (Yall really wanted Kieran to be AETL. Going as far as to promote him to SET without an app, and without him even being a member, barely 1 week into ET. Then removing me and putting him into my position. I sadly was an ET for a year at the time of my removal. I implore everyone to re think what you do with your free time. As I do not see how you can gain anything positive from anything GL. That is my honest opinion on GL and I honestly regret almost every moment I have spent on this server. 3 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post NeoID Posted June 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2022 The biggest, and most agreeable factor I read on this post was that the server has turned to Combat. RP Branches are barely staying above the water right now. Research has been taking blow after blow these past couple months, Medical and Maintenance are constantly in this battle for the past 2 years, and R&D sunk low for the past 5 months. The fact that D5 can now do Tests takes away all purpose of being in Research. Why just test, when you can now shoot and test? This has been a problem for months on end, and has been dramatically increasing at an alarming rate. I really hope people will take this into consideration, and help the RP Branches provide more RP. I have made countless suggestions to make R&Ds RP more pronounced, and much of the time, MTF Highcommand will either decline it, or disagree among themselves (being the 3 MTF Branches) about it. Because they like to keep their branches oriented and structured. When I try to meet to compromise these terms, people either failed to meet, or compromise. I do not say this to discriminate any members of MTF Command. I have highest respect for MTF Command, and believe that they do an excellent job in comparison of their predecessor‘s. However, I beg that people would have a better openess to deal with the struggles of new implementations for RP Branches. As RP Branches, our branch updates often can’t just feature new SWEPs, or guns. We need new systems, and options for people who don’t carry weaponry to do, and be beneficial as an outcome. Utilizations are a perfect example. Please consider this, as It would be huge for the RP Portions of the server. 5 1 With Best Regards,CI R&D Deputy Director Of Operations|| - Retired SCP-RP Event Team Leader || Retired SCP-RP Admin || -Retired CI R&D Head of Research|| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Boi Sawrunner Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 1 hour ago, IgnisNuts said: you must be really bad at the game if you think this is right fr, most dono weapons gargle dick at this point. KBS Longbow does 95 damage a headshot, the only place that damage is good enough it class D and its restricted there. Also, JRs are the most effective and violent motherfuckers on the server. You see a JR with a five seven solo a prophet? I have. It aint that hard to cap an MF with 100 100. Anyways, git gud aside, my honest take on GL is the following: 1: Rp fucking sucks. We dont HAVE rp, we have to force it. It got so bad that medical, a dying branch, had to be the only place that could have medkits other than medical units, but then la di da i have a CC in every fucking branch and could just hop on and off throwing my medkits to the boys, or just keepin' it for myself and being my own medic. What rp can you truly do that isnt /me /roll and thats good enough? I wrote test logs and only one was actually done in rp. What happened in game wasnt even rp, it was a floating chair that we threw at the walls for 10 minutes cause it was fucking hilarious, because thats how bored research got. Being RFA was tons of fun, and had good rp, but oh boy, hand selected exclusive force moment. SFs are fucking stupid. Most are either A: Not lore compliant, and just seem like edgy powertrip OCs, or B: Shouldnt even be a hand picked force or SF? Like why is RFA handpicked, half of what research DOES in lore involves its agents on site and in the field. We are just givin exclusive perms to kids and teens who haven't had power over anything greater than what they want in their lunchbox that day, and now we let em boss around people just tryna play a video game. Here is the SFs we got: E4, the generic edgy lone wolf group that lore wise is super cringe, but is mainly just a free-pass to minge with the other E4 and do dumb stuff. I mean, sure. I dont have any respect for pretty much any SF, and I think out of all of them E4 are given the most pointless power, but thankfully, the current E4 kinda just do sped shit, which is funny. So, respect to them. D4, human tumors....robots...cyborg...whatever the fucks. They have the most sped weakness too, which I wont say here, but I know, and its like, cmon, of all the things yall edgy motherfuckers arent immune to, its that? Its a moot point, cause the scenarios that INVOLVE that problem are literally non existent. But no, otherwise its half the scps countered, you take my comms oh dead mans hand, oh you take me im a fucking nuke, like bro, yall called yourselves "Coldsilver" ( REMOVED IMAGE, ~ TALILA) RRH, im largely fine with. They actually exist in lore, and truth be told, I dont know much of anything about em. Technically not an SF. Why aint they just a branch you gotta work your way into? Thatd be 80x better. Plus, code of silence is cringe, you wanna type everything? Have fun. Nice to not have to worry about that somewhere. HSU, or should I say D4 but not D4. What is it now? HTF? ATF? NFT? I dunno it was the same shit as D4. Same problems. RFA, oh my baby. I dont really have too much of a problem with how we work, I just dont think we should be as secretive and serious as we were startin to get by the time I resigned. That, and we shouldnt be handpicked. Agents are important, and too much of Research is already just sittin' on your nuts anyways. The RP itself with SCPs is put on the back burner, the best you get is events that usually just end in chaos and violence at best, and maybe like one good scenario if you are lucky, or you lag the server, crash it, cause a mountain of problems, etc. Combat is playing ping pong with the new meta. Oh hey, gun rework, this gun is great, time for it to be in, yknow. Every. Fucking. Branch. You want a unique loadout? Make a CC. Its what i did when I got recon force, and i stopped givin a shit and now we just have meta weapons. Yee haw. Like bro yes you are cracked with your m98b and m16a4, bro same i just killed half the server with this shit. It dont mean dick, I can run it and spray and take W's cause they're god tier guns. And in a month, they'll all be ass. Just once, I want weapon balancing to make everything viable, EVERYTHING. Not this is op this sucks everything else is aight, but everything works if you can make it work. We are a combat focused server nowadays, but even that can be a kick in the fucking nuts with hit reg and lag and shit. Donor store is kinda...inoffensive to me, to be honest. Some shit is good, some is bad, the rest gets you more shit to do, end of story. Not really concerned about anything there, I picked up some stuff, seems fine, worked well, good enough. CC prices and addons, bro, im getting my balls tap danced on just reading them. My brother in christ, its not technically a lot for anybody with a job, but you got broke ass teens buyin shit and its like plz bro think about your financial stability. They're PAINFUL to look at. Jolly fucking CHRIST. The server itself needs more depth. The map, is just kinda... i mean it aint bad, its just, it just is. Thats it, its a map. Maybe it was cool to all of us when we joined, but like, its really just halls rooms halls room and nothing more interesting than that. The server is unoptimized, every simple thing seems to make it lag, to the point where shit gets denied because everyone assumes it causes lag. Its not the biggest secret to figure out the costs of running a gmod server, its not like you cant look it up and find shit about it. Even if this was super pricy, does it not make a bunch of money? The server is nothing if not profitable, to say the least. The daily highest donation is waved like a flag, and the top ten of all time wave their banners high on the store main page. The home page of the store, the FIRST thing you see when you click the link? Highest donations, the profitability being swung like a flag for all to see. At time of writing, the highest donation for the day is 250$. This doesn't show who else donated though, does it? Who was the last highest donator today? how much did they spend? I got outclassed when I bought my fucking CLAN within an hour for how much someone spent. At the end of the day, this is a gmod server, this game is sped. We need to stop catering to pussies and idiots, and start catering to a bigger playerbase. No, someone isnt gonna die because I called my friend a tard, no a black man casually sayin the n word to a friend isnt gonna end the fabric of reality, all these slurs and shit, what the fuck ever, words are words. All in all, GL has to shape the fuck up. I dont play much anymore, and it was a rough burn out. I gave this server weeks of my time, months even, been around for over a year, gave it plenty of money. Gl should strive to make a server where I dont have to look back at those investments and wonder if it was worth it, or to more often than not, regret it. Cmon zeep, you are chill as fuck from the times I have seen you talk, like in the premier jokin around and shooting the shit with people. Why we hidin and insulting people now when they say shit? When i asked for transparency, you said it would help to not assume things. Would we have to assume shit if there was transparency between the community and its staff, even at the highest ranks? No. Cmon man, we didnt come to this forums post because we have hated this place from square one. Make it one of those servers we were happy to play on, make it something we adore again, something we can look at and say "fuck yea, i wanna get into this shit, I wanna play this shit." We all didnt keep on stayin' for nothing, make us remember why we did. 1 1 Daddy D Boi |Previously CI SGM XB1 and RAM|Formerly Agent Starboi| CCs: Frank West | Doctor Samuel Hayden | Solid Snake | CI Recon Force | Drip Hank Hill | The O7 Bois (Owner of Sunsetters) The Femboi With The Fubar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly i was going to make a post like this back when i was high command but just decided to resign and fuck off. 8 minutes ago, Some Weeb said: What gaminglight IS suffering is Snowflakes, bitches (in the annoying version), slight to mediocre friend groups and corruption (RP leadership) and people who don't know what dafuq they are doing. I agree with most of the things in the post, definitely the server has too much lag, it is simply not optimized and looking at other servers that have the same amount of players the lag of these is not compared to this one.

I felt like it'd be more appropriate and a kind gesture to say you resigned, then announcing 'Goat got removed'! I also promoted Kieran due to his dedication, considering he also had multiple promotion recommendations by SMT & was doing extremely well at the time. he was one of the most active ET... If you actually announced he got demoted/removed for inactivity everyone would be like "the fuck?"

Jack (utility one) Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 dang man. Honestly I still enjoy GL till this day and can't say much wrong about it. Is it the perfect place, no, but I don't see it as a place that is defined by who runs it or how it is run. Do I disagree with some things, yes, do I really like some things, yes, but at the end of the day I have full faith that zeeptin and SMT put their best interest in thought when doing something, as it will effect them much more than me or the players. I also don't get angry about it as I enjoy the people in gaminglight, not the server, but the people in it. You can join any server and get the same experience, but the people is what truly makes this place so damn fun. It's literally the ONLY point I spend so much damn money on this place, so people can enjoy a free experience while playing a game they enjoy, with people they enjoy. So no, I don't think anything is wrong with gaminglight, as there are still people I enjoy on here, many more people to call friends and hang with, and make more fond memories with people I enjoy. There are gods in Alabama: Jack Daniel's, high school quarterbacks, trucks, big tits, and also Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edited my response, that's all I'll be saying on the matter as there's no more to say regarding it. 1 𝐒𝐂𝐏𝐑𝐏 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝 | 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝 - 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐨𝐬 𝐋𝐭.
