Title: What perks or benefits should Donors get, as a "Thank you," from the Community?
Post by: Cadaver on July 13, 2013, 03:58:46 AM
Ok,

We need more donations, cause well, running a Community is not cheap.

So, what do you want to see as a perk, or benefit for donors?  Give VALID, non-troll answers.

No: We will not hand out Admin Powers. We will not hand out ranks, or positions, other than VIP...  But, yes, a mere color on the Forums is, well, lame. 

Valid thoughts?

Cadaver

Reserved slots is a common thing used on other servers that isn't too bad of a hindrance I don't think.

Perhaps things like a larger avatar size to feel 'special', donator-only emoticons (might get spammed, but it is a thought), possibly a reserved slot on servers that constantly get full and people can't get on when they want to play (maybe make that a high $ donation thing), a donator only board on the forums (not sure what use it would be, just a thought), I'm just throwing out ideas off the top of my head before going to SLEEP. 

I know with sourcemod you can change colors of text in the chatbox, maybe something that gives them a special color in text chat on a server?

Might post more tomorrow if I think of anything better than these

Donater slots on servers, special forum section, and its a stretch, but access to ATMA?
Oh and maybe if the credit thing and shop ever gets going, extra credits per post or extra credits monthly.

Reserved slots tick me off to be honest, there's nothing I hate more than trying to get into a server that has 1-5 slots "open" and then getting booted out because it's reserved for someone not even playing... just my thoughts...

I could see a use for the reserved slots, if not for donors, then for an admin who needed to get into that server, and had an open slot for him/her to get into without having too much trouble (waiting for someone to leave, etc)... I wouldn't see much of a use for this for Hidden since it would leave it at 8/9 removing a grenade permanently from the Hidden's repertoire unless an admin were playing, same goes for ZM a bit because I think (and I could be wrong...) that the Zombie Master gets more points to kill people with if there are more people. TTT would be good though since (and I could also be wrong here too)a few slots saved for these admins isn't too much of a difference to the gameplay... This would end up leaving at least 1-3 extra spots for the admins to get in if they are needed. I don't know enough about the other servers to give my input on them... That is all...

Recently I have been playing on the HG jb server on CSS when I get bored and they have the point system where you can buy what they call "HG bux" and you can buy different skins for your character or attachments for your gun like laser sights for your sniper or bullet tracers and I know a lot of people buy that shit :P Idk maybe we could try that out on gmod

Forum
- .GIF's at normal size for avatars.
- Personal backgrounds on profile?

TF2
- For TF2, could make it so that you can have your hat painted, or have strange effects (fire/etc), which you CAN do from the server.
- Also for TF2, could make projectile [Grenade launcher, rocket launcher, etc] weapons have a tracer or the likes.
- Saxton, could have a choice of what hale to be.
- Saxton, unique skins for all hales with premium.

Hidden
- Different skins (you can do this) for both IRIS and Hidden.
- Weapon tracers.

Zombie Master
- Trails for players.
- Skins for players.

Zombie Panic Source
- Skins for players.
- Trails for players.
- Higher infect chance? (Probably not)

TTT
- "Unique" weapons either "bought" from some kind of store or chosen on spawn, say, reskins of most weapons, like being able to buy a Barrett M99 with a unique sound, but has the same stats as the scout, or the Kal-Tec KSG for shotgun - same stats... you get the idea, try to think of easily known weapons to cater for those who have seen them in other games, and instantly want it in this game.

- Able to choose if Minigun is fast and weak or slow and a little more damaging.
- Hats (which I think is a terrible idea, but people will get donator just for them)
- Faster prop meter refill when dead.
- Name in green/colour on tab menu?
- Laser sights, like Muffins said.
- Custom models with actual (non-zoom) scopes, like holographic sights, or red dot sights, easy to do, but takes time, may be easier just getting someone to do it for us.

Hm, would it be pay for each server's benefits, or get it as donator, either by default or if you pay higher than X amount?
Could have something on the servers, every 10 minutes or so you get a couple of tokens or something which you could use to buy items and all from here, or you could get them in a bundle by buying them from a store page of ours, to use in any game?

I think I'd donate for these perks... (Granted the skins have been shot down before, or at least the idea of specifically customizing them has been) I think it might be cool. Would also be cool if I could get my name in dark red, not like a CL but just a shade of red of my choosing, would you get to choose your name colors? If that was an added feature I think that would e cool as long as it was reasonable.

Leet, what do the skins look like?

Skins can be ANYTHING at all, so long as they're properly set up on the server, I don't remember how to do it myself, though it should be somewhat straightforward.

So yeah, it's up to the HA of the server to think what's appropriate/good and what's not.

To be honest I wouldn't want a trail if I were a donor, what if I was in TTT and running away from someone? I run around a corner and there's 2 ways to go, the person following me doesn't have to question which way to go because they can just follow my trail to lead right to me. Ive tracked people down in other random TTT servers because of their trail multiple times when I would of otherwise lost them.

Just beat me to it Abka

TTT should probably be left alone in regards to changing things in the game. The addition of special donor guns should only be skins, nothing more since having a special weapon would upset the balance between Traitors having access to more firepower then innos. I'd be for a Detective or Traitor weapon but nothing for innos. Same goes for skins on characters. I've seen it on other servers before and it just looks silly. The whole point as a T is to blend in when possible, not stick out. I'd be for custom commands, a special forum badge and some reserved slots but outside that not much else for TTT.

Yeah, but the 'hats' I always see are computer monitors, and stupid things from Gmod. Its not Hat Fortress 2, and since its so easy to die as an inno, and since there is no death cam, there isn't any time to showcase off a hat. Then as a Traitor who wants to be called out because of their hat?

I've always thought if fun nights were a regular thing; that donators could get admin on fun night to fool around.

Otherwise in games like zps having a reserved slot and voting admin rights would be cool; as long as they can't do actual map votes or gravity votes. Just fun votes like "Who catches the pokeman" or what ever.

In TTT I can only imagine something like a differently colored nametag like admins to show they're special. I can't imagine anything else that isn't gamebreaking.

Forums? Disabled ads maybe since they paid their due to the community, and I would enjoy something like a personalized theme for the forum. Otherwise a title under your name on the forum would suffice.

If the Minecraft server was in direct control of me/CG I would even say donators can get creative on Minecraft if they choose.

Low tier donors get, reserve slot

Medium Tier donors get, reserve slots, unique access to special features, ie skins but features that DO NOT Change the game's/mod's gameplay.

Highest tier, Everything mentioned and an audiobook of 50 shades of grey done by a member of CG.

Just my thoughts.

Almost every server that had a point shop on it had "Guns" as an option for purchasing which meant the people who were extremely good with one gun, never had to go searching as they could always buy it at the very beginning.

That's what breaks the game, hats do nothing.
When you have a guy who only uses the sniper and can head shot almost anyone at anytime being able to buy a sniper on maps that aren't supposed to even have one, that's when the game breaks.

Please no point shops in ttt. There are almost no good ttt servers without point shops. I feel everybody should look the same in TTT, it works best that way. Not only that, but I don't like some of the players point shops often attract.

EDIT: It's not "game breaking", but saying it doesn't alter gameplay is simply not true.

I like the reserved slot option. I also like the idea of added paint and hats in TF2.

Shit I was on a CSS server the other day and they had some people with fucking sailor scout skins.

May be volunteering to admin on the server, but we'd also like to have fun while we're at it, so no.

I hope that was sarcastic.

TTT: Reserved slots only - This game is so delicately balanced that its hard to even tweak the base guns to make it fair, let alone a slew of custom ones. Custom skins also make you easy to identify when using a disguiser etc.

Hidden: Customized features could be nice as could skins.

NS2: Theres a lot we could do with this server when it gets back up if ever.

TF2: Custom skins etc could be implemented.

In general, because donators are the one who are helping to ensure that the servers they love stay up and a float, they should have the guarantee to play on them whenever.

I actually found the trail option quite an idea to have. It probably not the best to have on TTT but it is fun to use when playing ZPS and ZM. Also for ZPS and ZM they should have a custom color. These items have made servers pretty popular in the past. Also people complaining about a trail it would be easy to have a binded button to turn off and on a trail with the press of a button. Still trying to remember what made some of the TF2 servers popular.

TTT: Reserved slots only - This game is so delicately balanced that its hard to even tweak the base guns to make it fair, let alone a slew of custom ones. Custom skins also make you easy to identify when using a disguiser etc.

Custom Crowbars ? Lightsabers, maybe some TF2 stuff, Lolly pop, Baseball bat?

My old ZP v1.0 clan did models... was hugely popular... but that would require all servers to use a model plugin.

Skins/trails are all awesome on everything but TTT, we should get those on the other servers. I think reserved slots are also good on everything.

I assume you are talking to me. And my question is WHY THE HELL NOT?

Crowbars are rarely used and maybe this would be a little fun

I think VIP admin is reasonable. No access to slaying/banning/kicking/muting/slapping but access to votes (with minimum of 60 second intervals)  and making achievements and the such could be fun.

Trails and shit would just be silly.

Different textured weapons would be a neat idea though. Donators get a Golden Crowbar in TTT, or something like that. I know that'd be a little difficult to manage but I'm sure that would satisfy anyone who donates for TTT.

The different skin IMO is stupid (no offense) because if you want a skin get it. I currently have skins on my  Deagle, scout, and m16. Get a skin I of donate just seems silly

Most people dont know how to do that, and i still think a VIP skin on your person would be cool

VIP skins on weapons/player models would be cool for hidden... It wouldn't make you a target like it might for TTT, might encourage tking but that's easy to take care of if there's an admin nearby or if they get banned via console.

Well I don't mean for user only- I mean for everyone to see, which like I said would probably be difficult. Really everything non-game breaking for TTT would be kinda stupid,

Simple idea here. RESERVED SLOTS.

I have NO idea why we don't have them. The amount of times I've sat in waiting cause the server is full is unreal. That should be added as an admin/donation thing....

Nuff said.

It shouldn't, most reserves slot systems/VIP work of the admin mod, so the admin is also protected from the reserve slot kick.

Either way, there are some good ideas in here, and hopefully we have either a vote or something where we as a community can decide which ones would be best to put in place, because I'm sure we can get some of these implemented without too much trouble.

Are there any of these ideas that we can implement? We need to give donor's some sort of incentive, as we need more donations!

Custom in-game titles that I suggested before still sounds like a good idea to me. Reserved slots sounds alright. I know some servers give donators custom weapons that replace the crowbar, like a lightsaber or something, just a cosmetic change though, not an increase in damage or anything. Maybe donators could also get an extra credit as D or T. Just throwing some things out there to help.

Pointshop haters won't like the cosmetic idea..

My idea:
Donators can mute/gag players (Of course any abuse found/reported will revoke their powers) understandable if you dont want this though lol

Pretty positive it's been declared that admins powers will not be just handed out. So that's probably out of the question. I hate the idea of people paying for powers myself. You don't need to be able to gag/mute, you can just mute the person yourself in tab.

Make a poll/vote to narrow down all the ideas here into the best ones, then after that we can have another vote to pick the ones we implement, or at least the ones to do first.
