@Hamsterman234568 Not true at all. I encourage you to actually look here [xG] XenoGamers.com | Morbus [garrysmod] Garry's Mod at our gametracker. Our Morbus server is currently doing great, and even better than all other Morbus servers. On Friday nights and weekends we usually have a full server/ high populated server in the evenings. Even on weekdays we get good population with around 10 to 15 people on simultaneously during the evenings. To say its deserted is false. You should play on it once in a while and see for yourself ;) I personally have no interest in other game modes other than Morbus right now. People want servers but they're not willing to help populate or moderate when the time comes. This is what killed TTT when we launched it previously, you can't just launch a server and have it sit dead, you need to have people from the clan actively playing on it for it to be successful.

It's counterproductive to send someone a warning and then not be able to slay/ban if they continue. Spawn protection would be a good idea.

A warning then slay if continued/repeated would be sufficient imo. I don't see the harm in that for an issue that doesn't even pop up that often. People camp because they think it's the best tactic, not because moving around the map is a hassle (which it isn't). This and players camping swarm spawns are two different topics. That would be a good idea if they were to ever create it.

Fix Teslas - Teslas aren't spawning No Spawn Camping - Would you object if I put a rule stating that players can't camp swarm spawns? Some people were doing it a lot tonight on Spaceship and there were complaints.

It started yesterday, not sure which patch. You can reproduce it by simply joining the server at any point in the game, you will the the notifications in the top right unaligned.

DarkRP would require a commitment from more than just me and Stickz to keep populated and moderated. DarkRP requires at least 1 staff member on when the server is populated as it is the #1 game mode for trolling, and dealing with rule breaking can sometimes be time consuming. Staff would also need to learn all of the rules of the game mode, and there are quite a few. I know that Stickz and myself are not fans of the game mode, so if a DarkRP server were to ever come about, it would be up to those who actually want the server to help populate and moderate. If the clan wants a TTT server then we need staff and members willing to play on it. This would be a good idea if we can't get committed staff for TTT like last time.

@Stickz The text notifications at the top right are all unaligned with their boxes. The Brood and Swarm shops also have a similar issue. Another player on the server was able to confirm that the text was unaligned for them as well. You can see here: Steam Community :: Screenshot Steam Community :: Screenshot Steam Community :: Screenshot UPDATE: There is also a bubble/water sound effect when joining the server/joining back from map change. Other players were able to confirm. I found this in my console after map change, not sure if that's any help. >SoundEmitter: removing map sound overrides [3 to remove, 0 to restore]

@Stickz sorry for long reply, i'm willing to test it but I need the info for the test server and idk what to do with that file on GitHub.

@Stickz Put the Tesla back on? We've had it fixed and ready for a while now don't we just need to put it back on the server?

I can't figure out how to change it. Store is gone so can't buy a name change there. Any help?

@Stickz ya I think it would be good

@Stickz I wouldn't say it's as strong as the M16. Remscar's nerf looks fine, focuses on more than just dmg.

I agree.

lol how are the mods supposed to know? And why are you giving kids special leeway, why not all players that don't know how to play? And again, you can't really know without giving them a warning and talking to them first if they are trolling or genuinely don't know how to play. Why don't you just keep it uniform; warn them and then ban if they continue, that's what you want isn't it? conflict resolution? Honestly you're making it way more complicated than it needs to be.

Putting the reason for the slays would be bad yes, besides I don't think ULX even let's you put a reason for them. You could just do the message through ULX like !ban <user> [<time>] [<reason>] and it fills in a generic message based on the info. eg " >[user] has been banned for [Time], Reason: [Reason]. @Stickz

Broadcast Ban Messages - Make it so when we ban a player on the server it broadcasts a message like "Vertex has been permanently banned for Mass RDM". This way the players on the server know we are actually enforcing rules. This is something I have been approached about by players on the server several times. I do not want players thinking we let RDMing occur, having this message will show them that we actually do something about it. Perhaps we could even make it so it broadcasts when we slay a player, since we are doing that a lot more now? @Stickz

@Stickz I'll put it so that we warn them and then ban. I am just concerned about the times when the player commits these major offences the second time after the warning. It does make it look like the staff aren't doing anything about rule breaking on the server which, like I said, has been brought up to me on several occasions in the past.

@Stickz For serious offenses we shouldn't be so lenient, it usually isn't a kid who doesn't know how to play who's claiming a room, massing, or ghosting. It's a troll or some guy who just doesn't care doing whatever he wants. Those people deserve to be banned. I agree with pro resolution on regular RDM's and small conflicts for sure, but for serious offences, it just gives them another round to break the rules and ruin the game for regular players. Note I have had players complain to me about our ability to moderate the server on numerous occasions because of this. For ghosting and claiming rooms, I say get rid of the warning, just ban them, if they are doing those things, they know they are ruining the game and breaking the rules. Keep in mind at the end of the day, it is the players job to read the rules of the server.

Might as well if they are supposed to be banned anyway.

@Stickz revised the N-word section and added a claiming room definition and instruction. I kept it separate from semi mass as I don't feel they are the same thing.

Makes sense, would make sifting through the logs a lot easier.

I agree with that, I rarely see players with haste and leap so it might encourage a few more players to buy that upgrade. You will have to show me what you mean, I'm a bit confused.

Welcome to the Xeno Gamers Morbus Feedback Thread! Edit By Stickz: Below is where server improvements can be suggested for our Morbus server. We (the Morbus staff) would love to hear your feedback for improving the server experience; also, to involve players in the decision and inform them of changes currently being made! Gamemode issues should be reported on the Morbus Github, instead of inside this thread! Let's get this thread started with changes currently being implemented.@Stickz Some important things I think we need for the Morbus server. Many servers have these things but as of now we are lacking some of these features. 1. Spray Tracker - It is close to impossible to enforce the "No Pornographic Sprays" rule without a spray tracker. Whenever I see or am contacted about a pornographic spray, there is nothing I can do because I have no way of knowing who sprayed it. 2. Tool tips/Server wide messages - I don't think users on our Morbus server even know we have a website. If we had tool tips displaying messages such as "Visit XenoGamers.com and sign up today!" I strongly believe we would have more members joining from Garry's Mod and maybe even a few more moderators which we desperately need. We might even get some feedback and suggestions on ways to improve the server. Another way tool tips would help would be to give the newer/inexperienced players some tips on how to play the game, because as of now, many of the newer players are really struggling as Brood Alien. Having messages such as "Press C to use upgrade points and V to transform" or "Shooting as a Brood Alien does significantly less damage and lowers your sanity" would help those players out a bit and improve the enjoyment of the game. 3. !unstuck command - Rarely do players get stuck after the rubber banding issues are gone, but when it does happen, a user has 2 options, either an admin has to be on the server to !tp them, or they have to kill themselves. Both are very inefficient and slow for the player and the admins. With unstuck, they can just free themselves from the wall. It is a very common feature on most servers. 4. Skandalon and Turbatio - We need to see if the drowning code can be put back on the server so we can get these maps put on. We haven't officially tested Turbatio with players yet and I think we should give Skandalon another go, it has been over a year since we've played it and I do not know what public opinion of the map is. I will add to this list as time goes by and as more things pop up. If anyone else has any ideas please add them. preferably with a reason why.

@Stickz ghosting has been changed to a warning then 1 week ban. Added a section on meta gaming. Also deleted a few old threads in the forums.

Ban was invoked on 03-02-15 and was for multiple rdm. I don't remember anything as it was a long time ago.
