ANEURISM IV - Garry's Mod RP Without The Garry's Mod

[Alexander The Great]

Yknow
no one ever made "offworld relocation hl2rp" type of thing

feels like aneurism iv is somewhat closer to that.

dropped a cool idea though,
time to vanish.

what was the latest drama about this game?

what was the latest drama about this game?

recently the devs wiped out a good portion of the discord server in prep for making specific discord servers for each of their games (so a dedicated ANIV server, dedicated server to their upcoming game) etc, but then they dropped it midway through so now there's just a huge amount of server history missing

Imagine we're all wondering what "off-world relocation" might be like just so canonically citizens and civil protection officers are just getting spaced like in amongus

New map dropped!
I'm back home tomorrow would anyone like to prole our lives away for a bit?

I could be persuaded to finally buy the game and live out my best life as a cremator

Liquidator (the cremator equivalent) is the fate most liable to get gunned down in the streets by scum

you need to either have good map knowledge so you know exactly where not to be unattended, or be GOATed at fighting with a flamethrower

I am a scum main and I do hunt liquidators for sport
Never use to, but they love to grill scum that let them live.

If I die, I die knowing I served the Cortex to the best of my abilities.

If I don't die, the zealots will learn to fear my Brain Scorcher.

I have murdered my first limitator in Misery
that's what you get for jumping infront of me at the forge to farm amnecytes and credits

 

[Kafe]

So far I'm not too hot on Misery, thinking I may go to servers running the original map again.
good few level design gripes, more playtime might help but so far I'm not engrossed by the map

i didn't get enough playtime to get much gameplay gripes because the server i grinded on died, but the map is a step in the good direction of addressing the issues of nightmare (lack of properties, verticality, etc.) but it simultaneously lacks everything that made nightmare good (parallel battlegrounds for scum v. cortex, polished look and vibe, etc.)

it's good to see the game with activity again though. they need to add some more content. apartments were cool but you have to understand the core gameplay loop to engage with it, which estranges the lower engagement players who are there to fuck around

edit: kind of reminiscent of the lack of activities for citizens to do in hl2rp. time repeats

Tbf neb should have its own server, could be cool. Maybe introduce some players from it to the community, idk

as cool as it would be, the main issue is that the game's playerbase is only enough atm to sustain the official servers, community servers are almost all empty.

the game is frequently under attack by hackers and DDoSers and 90% of the playerbase only play the game BECAUSE it is unmoderated and lets you yell slurs without consequence

I think the main thing for me right now is that faction conflict has been made a massive pain in the ass because of the vents.
every underground path has a crawling vent you need to cross through, so the access points are easily camped, it's a lot like the nightmare wartime plaza entrance that was typically just a spot cortex and scum shot at eachother but didn't frequently push through.

Misery vents are all chokepoints, and a lot smaller to boot in comparison, only one person can get through at a time and movement is hindered, so crawling through is an easy way to get jumped.

it's been a couple days and already cortex will hold the vents waiting for scum, or scum will lie in wait around the vent corners when cortex get ready to raid. it got stale surprisingly quick.

Added - random crits to balance this.

I wonder what they can actually do about it.
Maybe fatter vents, stun nades or whatever

I mean this was kinda solved in nightmare already, multiple exits and covered with darkness, movement wasn't the thing to worry about as much as the risk of getting ambushed in the dark.
the crawling vents in the wartime plaza was just one variation of many kinds of exits you could take, Misery uses the same design for them all.
