The Sprummer event is finally here.  I can't express how relieved, excited, and nervous I am all at once, I can't remember what its like to work on anything else. I've been deep in the trenches gamers... but the light is finally here... I can finally move on!!

Anyways, this seasonal brings pretty much all the goodies you've come to expect, along with some new ideas and twists on existing ideas.

Gregg is out on vacation this year, so there's no 1v1. But that doesn't mean there's not as much loot (actually more total than any other seasonal I've done so far).


The seasonal pass has been made more linear (xp wise), to account for the new longer seasonal format. This means you'll be able to complete it more times over the duration of the seasonal, at the cost of the initial XP being slightly more. You can now also gain a new e-shop currency - Flowerbucks from each tier completion!


Speaking of, the !eshop now has a new currency - Flowerbucks! These are obtained pretty much the same way as eggbucks, aside from also being able to get them in the Seasonal Pass.

You may be wondering what happened to my original plan for eggbucks, and why Flowerbucks exist. This is mostly because I didn't plan on eggbucks being around for as long as they were leading into this update. By the time I had this update near complete, people had 100s of thousands of eggbucks stockpiled, which obviously would hurt the flow of this event quite a bit. So I decided to separate 'em, and use the data from the Eggbucks system to balance some bigger things to buy with them. (Prices in eshop are still subject to change, so please give your feedback once all the items are revealed. Keep in mind the event is lasting MONTHS though!).


Renewal Chests & Grove Boxes
The 2 main seasonal rewards - Renewal Chest and Grove Boxes.


Grove boxes can be crafted with Renewal Shards, as you'd expect.


There's also now Enhanced Versions of the typical seasonal jewels that can be obtained from Geodes!

Anyways, I put a shit ton of time into this update and hope you all enjoy it, and as with anything, please report any bugs you find in #bug-reports in discord. Please include your steamID if its a missing item or related to one of your items.

Notes:

• Added new 2024 Sprummer Seasonal, with new pass, chest, boxes, and more.
• Last Prism now no longer procs traits as often until the beams converge.
• Glacier's Grasp's damage has been increased, but it now creates fewer ice shards per second. (It has a 1-1.25x random pve multi now to help make up for the fewer shards per second too)
• Added easter weapon bases, including a new one.
• Disabled older seasonal bases (oops).
• (Definitely some other things I forgot to write down)

Name of staff you were banned by: Unknown

Length of the ban: Permanent

Would you like your ban shortened or repealed?: Repealed

Reason for ban: Posting a Ukraine war video that had violence/gore in it.

Did you commit the actions stated in the ban reason?: Yes.

What really happened?: 3-4 Years ago, when I first joined and started playing FRG, I was banned from the discord for posting a Ukraine war-related video, that had gore in it. As my previous post stated, the video was related to the topic and of course, it was overboard, no excuses, I was just a freshie and I didn't care about the potential consequences. Of course, over time I grew to like FRG and regret the dumbass decision I made, being locked out of the discord and not being able to become any rank or grow in the community has come back to bite me in the ass. I believe over time I showed that I'm a pretty chill dude, giving away items, and money and helping out newbies when I see them and able to. It is my biggest regret on FRG by a long shot and honestly, I think I could provide a lot of trading avenues and other important substance as I have been coding in GLUA and playing gmod for over 8 years now, about 15% of it being in FRG give or take. Posting various suggestions and even coding up scripts showcasing said suggestions to add more clarity and love to the suggestion. Lastly, I believe a second chance is warranted after all this time and through various posts seeing all sides of this situation and the community responding and giving their input.


Additional details: Not John Smith personally told me to create another discord appeal so here is my fourth one. My previous unban discord request was denied due to complications with the discord potentially being deleted by unbanning me, however, I did do some research and even contacted Discord about it, as long as the post is deleted and is not up for a sustainable amount of time, the discord is fine. They also stated they wouldn't ever delete a discord without giving a warning first and a notice (however some research yielded 50/50 results about this), stating to change this or get rid of this user. I can follow up with conversations with the discord ticket DMS and follow-up articles online as well. The biggest issue is that I cant get member rank or any for that matter, see changelogs, and or have a reliable way to see or do bounties and trades. That is the biggest issue since everything is done through Discord and forums are lackluster and lacking in that regard. If there is any way I can get back in Discord, that would be fantastic, Brass said he would do something about that and add more love to the forums in terms of the changelogs the last post but sadly haven't seen that yet, but hey, thanks for reading

*In the previous post, I also stated removing my image perms is something you could do as I talked to someone who has had that happen to him besides getting banned.

Leave an honest opinion about this and give a third-party unbiased take about what the verdict should be.

Would you like your ban shortened or repealed?:repealed

Reason for ban:racism

Did you commit the actions stated in the ban reason?:yes

What really happened?:i played day in and day out from morning til night i joined one morning and said "hey what's up guys everybody having a good day?" and was met with "shut up you fucking monkey" as a roaster i fought fire with fire and responded with "well you're the only *hard r* here" to my immediate horrified surprise not only was the person not even talking to me it was Jerome who said it. a black person.

Why are you applying: To curate suggestions

Is this how you get it: No, absolutely not

What are your qualifications: I like to suggest things and I'm sure I'm a valued asset in curating them. Past creations include the primordial tier, all enhanceable weapons, many crystals, lots of quests, e.t.c. Very very good yes.
For modern suggestions, I'm sure the "Pin tasks/quests/dailies etc" will be implemented, and some of my other ones are pretty good (I'd think) - like my Ostara suggestions!

What can you bring to the team: Lots of gung-ho spirit and a whole lotta good ideas

Do you have anything else to put in here: Please don't mark this as cringe

Extras: Here's a picture of my cat Milly in a box.
