When I said "What I believe is making people not want to be an event character is that the experience of being an event character for a normal clone who does not have the power to dictate their role in the event is that they fulfil the role of a punching bag" When I said this I meant someone who can't spawn in a CIS sniper which I have noticed is something staff commonly do when playing as an EC. I did not mean that the ECs should be able to make up their own event as that would ruin events. My point when I talked about that was not to reintroduce it but to show that ages ago EVERYONE wanted to be an event character and so begging for ECs was not necessary. The events are supposed to be one-sided which is why I said I actually liked holding out against clones trying to kill me but for the average EC meaning for a non-staff player with a normal clone role they just get repeatedly killed by delta shotguns and dc17 snipers without the slightest chance of killing them due to their life span of 10 seconds. I think being in RC should mean you get a variety of equipment to combat any scenario but that does not mean each piece of said equipment should be soup'd up to extreme levels. I do know this but I was simplifying the regiment. for the most part most of these jobs get an OP close range gun, long range gun and a lot of health. some getting the ability to cloak and heal. I don't think I have the solution but nerfing certain key equipment like the dc17 shotguns and sniper, giving the same restrictions 212th abide by for the dc17rpg such as limited use. making sure no one has everything meaning blaster, navas and certain high command is a good start. you have missed the point of my post, I do like the way events are structured and the story behind them. I do not want to return to the old ways. I have a problem with getting repeatedly killed by the same ~6 people who have bs gear.

What your suggestion is: This main purpose of this forum is to raise a issue that is getting larger and larger on WG SWRP, I also have my suggestion of what it causing the problem and how I would fix it. In one month time I would of been on this server for five years, at the beginning of these five years we had a small 64 slot server which primarily operated on the predecessor to 'venator_vfinal'. When an event would occur there was no advert spamming in chat begging for event characters, it would be like a lottery, the staff member would just randomly teleport someone from the scoreboard and everyone would hope to be the lucky person chosen. Unfortunately being an event character has become dramatically less interesting to players on the server five years later. My reasoning why is that being an event character is no where near as fun or fair as it was five years ago, then it was a case of having one life, 15k hp and a gun and you would be let loose to cause terror, sometimes with a small piece of story behind it. What I believe is making people not want to be an event character is that the experience of being an event character for a normal clone who does not have the power to dictate their role in the event is that they fulfil the role of a punching bag for the clones to destroy over and over for an hour, this in its self is not that bad of a situation: holding a room as long as you can against various types of clones. The biggest issue however is you just end up getting one shot killed and spawn camped by certain ridiculous pieces of weaponry namely: sp_dc17rpg, sp_dc17shotgun, sp_dc17shotgundelta, sp_dc17sniper, sp_rpg. And if you somehow get the upper hand on the types of regiments that have these weapons they will just grapplehook out of reach, go invisible and heal themselves. I understand that the people that have the power to solve the EC issue are the same people that are using these ridiculous weapons so this is not going to go anywhere but this is the solution and it's up to you if you want to solve it. TL;DR: RC, Battalion, 501st, 41st and 212th get ridiculously overpowered weaponry that make being a event character boring as shit which is getting events cancelled. 501st, 41st and 212th I don't mind as they only get one or two of these weapons and have low hp. Battalion and especially RC basically get massively overamped versions of these already broken weapons and every single one of them plus massive hp, invisibility and their own medkit. Event planners should not have to cancel events or even bribe people with money and op weaponry of their own. Any additional information: Please don't reply justifying why you deserve more power then other players on the server.
