hi to anybody who's snooping around in here
ok since i told the person in the databrawl server that i was gonna do this like a month ago i gonna do it now

Program Suggestion Event in Discord server

The Program Suggestion Event was a moment in the Databrawl Discord server that took place on December 15, 2020 that somebody (known as L1c0r1 at the time) asked me to write down as a Wiki post. So, I have chosen to write it here, and may possibly make a community post about this Program stuff for greater publicity and to fulfill what I stated I was thinking about doing. In the event, ideas on how to make Programs a better team in Databrawl (Battle Version) were discussed. This was the final comprehensive suggestion that was posted in the #suggestions-n-ideas channel of the Discord server:

Program Jobs Idea kickstarted by inky_108 and added on by members of the community

Standard: A speed buff to help get jobs faster

Operator: A chance to stun enemy’s when attacking and can buff firewalls

Bank: (bit emoji) X2

Library: Reduces machine time Hospital: Increases natural regen (or) healing amount

McDod, Software Sweets, Coolant Refinery, and Cookie Factory workers: decreased food spawning time and cooldown but only for the place they work at, BUT the food spawning time and cooldown is decreased by a bunch

Processor Follower: Boost attack speed by throwing Holy coolant on people

I gave my own input on what the Program team needs during this lengthy conversation that took place in #general, my input could be summarized via the following direct quotes:

Quote 1: "you know, about standard programs needing more options on what they can do to help, i agree

in the older versions of databrawl (2017-2018), standard programs were pretty good at the support job since before chubbs existed they were the only things firewalls and fellow programs could rely on for healing, they were truly useful support characters rather than the fodder they are now

i see people, they be wanting a token or to spawn as a chubb as soon as possible when they spawn as a standard program 'cause they know the standard programs are the least effective at the support job, and it wasn't quite that way in the past, even when chubbs were freshly added, standard programs were still considered useful during those early 2018 days

the addition of jobs would help remedy the useless standard program support trope and bring standards back up to the honorable position they had back in the ye olde days

though, i would also like something more for jobless regular standard programs"

Quote 2: "when it comes to buffing standards i definitely think the buff shouldn't be combat based (i.e. health and damage buffs)

some folks have suggested combat buffs but i heavily disagree with that notion since programs are meant to be the helpless citizens who support the firewalls, the firewalls are their combat, they're supposed to be two halves of a whole, the programs are the one half and the firewalls are the other half to make a full, sustainable team and to give programs combat buffs would make them seem less like a half of a whole"

Quote 3: "i've always felt that programs needed something more to represent how they're the ones in charge of the computer (in addition to the royal entities like motherboard, of course)

they're the ones running the computer

all these programs working together, background tasks, foreground tasks, all sorts of tasks in the background being run by programs

they run the show

i feel the programs should have more power over the environment

i remember in the past the program description would talk about them using machines, and when i played databrawl way back in the day, i always thought, upon reading the description, that the programs would have so many more machines to use than just the food machines (they could only use food machines back in the day, there were no doors or bridges)

so yeah i feel that the programs need more machinery to use, like machines that manipulate the environment

i remember one person also going into detail about programs getting more environmental manipulation: (picture shown of the person's artwork showing programs using elevator-like platforms)"

Quote 4: (picture shown of person's artwork showing programs activating hidden jumppads) "yeah

program traps could be really cool

instead of making them combat-based, they can fight using their minds

to make traps" (stated in response to another person mentioning program traps)
