Definitely is. But I don't really know if that's such a bad thing. The lobby and our events is truly what makes us different from other communities/servers. It takes away from TTT, but as I've stated before, the sad truth is our 'formula' for a TTT server is now over saturated, and it's the least unique part of FRG.
I think a good step is making TTT more unique, not just from Inventory, drops, or items, but in other ways. Classes were a good step in the right direction, but thinking of new classes(I don't like the idea of classes requiring godlikes or other items), is pretty tricky.
The idea I had on discord is more for the Inventory, which was after I made the following system for ZS:
Quote:upon opening remantler, it requests a 'trait path' from the server(different per item), server generates it, higher rarity item = more paths/and or branches (instead of linear upgrades ,could have multiple branches you can go to)
the later in the path the trait, the better its effects will be for traits that have stats anyways.
Quote:What if you could dismantle all weapons excluding godlikes, for 'scrap'. And ALL weapons have a 'skill tree' generated for them(as in across all of our servers). Wouldn't be any existing traits, but a whole new pool of things you can unlock for your weapon. You would use scrap to unlock nodes of the 'skill' tree, just like ZS and the MP4 above. Wouldn't be anything like pure extra damage, but stuff you can just use to fine tune your weapon or have interesting abilities/utility added to them. Perhaps the total amount of progression slots will be lower if your item rolls with a bunch of traits too, or there could be a RNG chance for the final node to be something super cool/unique.
I think that idea would give more of a use to all items, not just for keys.
Please dont add shooting while phasing. I remember playing on another ZS server that had custom weapons that let you do it and it was completely overpowered. Especially with certain cading styles it can be easily abused :<
