I think it'd be a great idea if the regulars on the game without any payment receive a skin or 2 that is obtainable by purchasing. I think it is unfair of how they are not allowed to at least receive one skin, but however it's allowed for Jihad's. I suggest very strongly on this, i understand yes, it's the server's income, but i don't think 2 or 1 skins would be the end of the world. I'm sure many people of the serious community would find this appealing and i hope you reconsider on your stance for restricted skins
Well I can see some faults in this suggestion, one of them being which regulars get it? Is there a certain list of them that they get it? Or is it based off of how many hours you have on the server?
Yes, there are faults, but it would make the community happier i guess to an extent you might lose income for the server. I feel it should be any one you'd think be the best and putting the price to a high standard so they would basically have to play a lot to get the points.Any regular should get it honestly, by the time you accumulate the money to get it you deserve it. If you want to give them the shittiest skin ever, heck i'd love it.
Yeah i understand that, i don't want them to just go balls deep and give everyone everything i'm just asking for A SKIN. I'm not asking them to open the market for everything i'm just asking for a skin that could be hard to obtain and the only way would be per say, playing on the server a lot.
What he's saying is that, since some Jihad sounds are available to the mass public, why not some skins as well?
Because they were put in that tier for a reason. If you made some of the skins available, then it would be pointless to have some of the donator ranks in the first place. So I don't think it's necessary. In the words of MangoTango, "I didn't donate for nothing".
Skins are there as a perk donating. Why would someone donate to get a skin if they have skins available? They wouldn't. This has been suggested a countless number of times and unfortunately for the non-donators, will never happen.
There is another aspect to this. Every map has a theme, and within those maps there is a variable to set the default player model of all players. If we do this for non-donators; even if it's just for regular HL2 player, it completely wipes this out. If we're willing to do that, then we might as-well have everyone non-donator spawn as a random HL2 citizen model to mix up gameplay so that not everyone looks the same. But that just brings us farther away from what the first T in TTT is about, Terrorists. We might as well rename our community Trouble in Trouble Town then, and be laughed at by the entire GMod community. Don't make regular users have their own skins, you'll be laughing at by the entire GMod community. #skinsKill
If there were skins for regulars, then A) They would have to be for the most dedicated of players (@seriousmike), probably for ones who had a month's worth of playtime on the servers or more B) It would have to be so fucking expensive 90% of people would succumb to donating (I haven't looked into donator perks that much so I can't remember if donators get discounts or not based on their rank...) -1 though. Whether or not Communism is a good or a bad political philosophy will almost always be up for debate, but Mango's comment made me think of today's America and how everyone thinks they're entitled to free stuff just because they're too lazy. Donator rank is just $10, a one time payment. Just think of it like getting DLC for the Sims games, except it's not ridiculously overpriced (F*** you EA, making us pay the same price for the game itself just for some DLC packages).
Im a Sprinklist and believe that if we do give out skins they aren't going to be a dirt cheap ones. Lets give them nice skins but not to nice. One the other hand VIP and VIP+ with certain amount of hours should get certain rewards. Skins, upgrades for certain amount of hours would be awesome.
When it came to skins, I thought Sprinklists believed that you are a blasphemer if you don't have a skin depicting a type of pastry or desert.
