In-Character Thread 'BOUNTY: 2000 Credits Per Horizon Armband.'

May 14, 2025

Hello Keith here!
​

Too many issues with Horizon for what we're trying to do. If you spot them and tell me about it I'll give you 2000 credits. I'll give you 2000 credits per armband or the equivalent in rubles.

FAIR WARNING!

We've consistently clocked their response time to be one to two hours, but it's usually just a scanner patrol or two. They only tend to send hunters if they see a LOT of you or you kidnap them. It seems they just don't like it when you're doing something other than just shooting rank and file. They don't give a SHIT if two or three of them...

Would recommend you guys engage with this. I've set it up in an attempt to be in line with feedback. If I'm running the event I'll do my best to make it align with this. If you don't feel like it is let me know.

11901. His armband says CAM on it, whatever that means.

10000 Credits. 20000 if you can figure out what the fuck his job is.

We don't know what he does but he seems important. All the other cops seem to be afraid of him. He just has that aura about him.

This is a further addition to it.

Yeah I addressed this in one of my earlier posts. As time goes on, each side is retaliating against perceived unfairness by just being unfair right back. But rather than it balancing out and having two guys with equal unfairness, then the OTHER guy become even more unfair to retaliate. So everyone's tanking and dodging and NEITHER of them are happy about it.

I think using rolls to determine injury can be fair, maybe with each side giving the other a little bit of leeway so that the main cast doesn't just become a bunch of 2-week-old characters when every single veteran dies. Especially considering, you know, a majority of the rebel cast doesn't actually BELIEVE in any cause? And is only really here because a few prominent characters have their respect or trust. If Maddie or Schwarzkopf die we're kind of in deep bantha poo-doo.

Has to fall on the actual player in most cases. Good faith and all that.

weapon rebalance so that I don't have to kill a basic zombie with two to three bodyshots from a Tier 3 bolt action rifle?

Watching my M14 plink off of Zombies instilled the fear of christmas and the coming year in me.

This isn't really server feedback, it's more personal, but I don't want to be an attention whore and make a whole thread about myself so I'm putting it here.

A couple of you already know this but I haven't been the most vocal about it until recently.

Lately, I've been playing Lucas differently than I used to earlier in the storyline.
He's been more assertive, aggressive, and less trusting and forgiving than he used to be.

I did this because I was facing a lot of criticism IC which, to me, felt like it was intended to be received on a meta level, and I thought that I would be making more staff, players and their characters happy if I made these changes to my character.

But then I spent half of white forest, all of pripyat, and all of THIS map getting overwhelming negative reception for the changes that I've been trying to make in order to make other players and characters happy.

So uh, you know what? That sucks. That's not fun.

I'm going to find a way to undo this whole thing and go back to the old Lucas who was polite, trusting, forgiving, and actually enjoyable for me to play.

I don't know if I should just give him memory loss from a concussion, have him take mushrooms and vividly hallucinate Karol Norin-Rudstrom putting him back on the right path, or some other thing.

But either way I'm done listening to all the shit suggestions I get for my character.
I'm going to keep beating up Bogdan and simping for Red Peril and every other controversial change is going in the trash.

Thanks for listening love you guys sorry if I upset you

Aye, so look-

Characters change. Like in reality, people often aren't static, and can change subtly or in more overt ways than others. But, for our sakes, for Roleplay - characters change.

But sometimes the changes aren't healthy, either for the character, or for the person playing them. Aye, it might be words on a screen for some others who just get on whenever they feel like and don't really care, but for some this is a leisure activity after a long day of reality, you know?

Character changes should happen, but they shouldn't be forced because people keep a ring-a-dinging on your damn head like driving in a nail with a hammer. Fair criticism is one thing, but when it's repeated and over the course of several maps to 'grow a spine and be more aggressive' only then, reportedly, for there to be a negative reception to the change - followed by new people who will ONLY ever view you as a negative bastard, it gets tiring.

Lets remember to be know when the bit is funny, and when the bit isn't, sometimes shit can drag on our minds without us realizing first, and sometimes it can fester and get from being harmless to troubling quick.

No seriously this... I mean there would need to be a lot of testing in general, but some weapons (especially like shotguns), have different damages.. so like some are WAY better than like the Tier 4s, which is wild. (Also, Tier 4 sniper when?)

Tier 4 prolly gonna be a PTSR or .50 tbh.


Weapon edits will be added to the change list too. Some are wildly inconsistent and occasionally Gmod is to blame for it. Regardless I’ll up the damage on them.

Poggers. And TBH, definitely wasn't as bad as M9K TnB days LOL. You just get clipped by a single pellet and you were pretty much down for the count XD

Don't think that voiding or ignoring Lucas' change is the right call. You can obviously change his attitude but there has been no "controversial" change I have noticed. Lucas has progressed as a character and as an acting leader. Sometimes you'll get the tough decisions that people won't agree with you on - that's what a leader has to deal with. They'll comment and say stuff, but remember that it's all IC. No one ACTUALLY hates the player behind the character.

I don't think anyone hates me and I play one of the most hated characters on the server.

Either way, imagine you had gone through a rough period in your past. You couldn't just magically erase all those years because they made you into the person you are today. Of course you'd look back on it and learn, but there is no undo button. Lucas was a more timid man when this all first started, and is developing into a more no-nonsense stern leader. Some characters might hate that. Some characters might respect that. That's the whole truth about relationships. You will always have someone that will judge you, whether you like it or not.

Instead of turning the dial back and going back to how Lucas' was in the beginning, why not find a medium? Something in between. You won't have to ignore all that character development and so wouldn't everyone else.
