Deathmatch/shooting range server

[killingbot5000]

I always thought it would be nice to have a server that is sort of like the build server accept, its sole purpose would be for players to test out the different weapons on the server and generally practice pvp. This could also be good for reducing random gunfights happening when people get bored (iykyk). could also be good for events.

OMG I LOVE PVP WHAT IS RP ANYWAYS +1+1+1

not bad a thought, but imo fighting shouldn't be well practiced. you're either seasoned or you're not; that should be your character.  no trying to practice bhopping, strafing, and ADADADAD spamming trying to matrix hop over bullets with a movement-damage weapon build based entirely off numbers and meta that you've practiced for hours on end.

if its worth that much to you, buy what you need IC and practice that way

MAN PLS +1 PLS BIGGEST PLUS 1 EVER. Deadass pendred a PvP server would be so fun to play. Doesn’t need to be for testing gun builds. Would be fine using any random guns like every time you die you spawn in with something new and every time u kill someone u get points and with points u can buy better guns

ive always said this would b fun but understand the downsides and difficulties, but, still,,,, +1

gmod nutscript pvp has a lot of its own niches, hylics had a pvp server while it started out and it was insanely fun! i think it would be really fun for a more casual server (all ooc of course) where u can just do ffa and chill yk? 

 

gamers will always have the urge to shoot each other, having a server where u can do this instead of doing in the streets would be very beneficial to the rp, im definitely guilty of this of running 1v1s in city and understand it can disturb the rp, see the start of this clip for example https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/llbfZ8EZLxJzmeZvb. I think its a good idea and the only downsides would be server costs and moderation

I mean, a dedicated server for it is better than practicing in the streets; but practicing in the first place doesn’t sit right with me. I generally agree with one of the above sentiments concerning your character’s ability not exceeding anyone else. The average person shouldn’t be a jump down turn around 360 no scope crack shot. This is a semi-serious roleplay server. Why do we take it for granted that people brush that off sometimes and try to gain an unfair edge by deciding when or when not the Metagame should or shouldn’t be a focus. What happened to “find out IC” sentiments permeating to all things in the game?

i think it should be looked at in a different way, not as a "practice" server but more as a fun little side server where u can have some down time, maybe even make it donator only to help w the costs! 

pvp has ALWAYS been seen in a very negative light in the rp space and for good reason but when it comes to it, its fun!  i can PROMISE you, if it gets added NO ONE is going on there for 7 hours to "practice their gmod pvp", we already have 1942 rp for that lol, there are also 100x more effective ways to "practice" if your that dedicated to mafia pvp. it will most likely be used for friendly 1v1s or 2v2s ect ect!

and at the end of the day, if u dont like the pvp dont join the pvp server! (if it gets added)

 

ps, if it does become a thing, i would imagine it would be like the old pvp system with 3rd person and no recoil as that is what that majority of pvp enjoyers would prefer so you wouldnt even be "training" functional skills that you could bring over to the live rp server

i understand the perspective and that everyone has their own preferences for gameplay- and im sure most of us have done something once or twice that wasn’t the most rp-inclined thing at an off hour.  your example is a great one for why we shouldn’t get comfortable doing that on the server. i count multiple fresh to the city folk who have no idea what they’re doing and this probably isn’t the best precedent to set for them. 

as aforementioned i can only see it being used as a crutch for the people coming onto this server strictly to try and hone their skills, check weapon stats, etc- but additionally it would shell a chunk of the exchange that takes place between people and weapon stores. what’s the point of asking around for what weapons and attachments are good if you just get told ‘bro….. just go on the ffa server and find out’. 

optimistically an outlet would still be nice. as much as i personally don’t like the idea, the build server could realistically be able to host a more sandbox setting where people can switch between pvp/build modes. in prevention of people trying to min/max the shit out of an IC weapon build; every single weapon would likely need to be modified in movement, damage, RoF, recoil, draw, etc- until its marketably unrecognizable compared to the main server weapons. (i love your optimism, but there are definitely people trying that hard. we have some real urchins around here if you look for them)

it seems like it may be more hassle than it’s worth when we could just get GMs to break up the monotony for people looking for a breather from the RP with more occasional events. it really depends though, because i could also see a big enough chunk of people wanting something like this to make it happen
