  1. The staff team had a lengthy internal discussion about snow which later escalated into a discussion between the subteam leaders and manager in order to determine whether it should snow or not. We came up with a very simple solution. The server will follow LA's weather due to its location. If it snows in LA around Christmas, January, June or any other random time of the year, we will make it snow. If it doesn't, we won't. This way we follow a consistent pattern of weather in general which also makes sense in terms of the map's location. Some of you said snow shouldn't happen at all, some of you said snow should be a thing - the actual weather in the region will be the deciding factor instead of either side. If the forecast shifts towards snow or any other 'unique' weather type I promise you we'll make it happen IG. The weather is not automatically synced at this point which is why we'll have to adjust it manually which is what we've been doing for awhile now. If you wonder why the weather doesn't match LA's forecast the reason is simple - a staff member hasn't had the change to adjust it. I hope you can appreciate the decision regardless of which side you took. I'll quote Ike as I feel it reflects this thread perfectly:

  2. I would like to add that I was the main defender of snow as you know, however I gave the final no for it due to one simple reason: If tomorrow we need to take a difficult decision due to continuity, or even a ban, the victims of these decisions could just tell us: « You are punishing us for not respecting continuity and yet It snowed in LS LOL ». Not all decisions come with benefits only, and not allowing snow is one of the sad but necessary result of being strict about continuoty.

  4. Short description: Do not lease property to convicted felons or characters convicted of dangerous crimes (drugs, weapons etc.). Detailed description: The property leasing application contains an IC portion. For whatever reason, property leasing is not currently handled IC by the Government or other entity but is considered an IC lease (as it should be) that your character holds IC. There is no reason a violent felon would be given a lease for a liquor store, a night club, etc. by the Government or by a private leasing company. I can understand an office space being leased by anyone, but certainly not a large public venue. Property leasing is supposed to be a way for legal characters to set up a business, employ other characters and promote the 'legal civilian' side of RP. To the contrary, many characters that lease clubs or liquor stores are violent criminals that use these businesses as a front for their enterprise. There would be nothing wrong with this if these characters weren't already convicted of murder, drug possession, illegal weapons, attempted murder(s) and so on. Becoming a 'hardened' criminal character is a player's choice. These choices should define your character more on GTA:W. If you choose to be a more serious criminal individual that gets caught then other character paths should become harder. A hardened criminal should not be able to operate a 'legitimate' business on the Government's or Leasing Company's money. I am NOT suggesting that criminals be barred from owning businesses. They should have to pool their money together and buy a business outright though, not lease one for a very, very small fee. Commands to add: N/A Items to add: N/A How would your suggestion improve the server? This suggestion helps to create a more clear distinction in character paths. Choosing to develop your character as a criminal will have the repercussion of making going back into legal civilian business owner life much harder. More realism. Additional information: What do you guys think?

  6. So a fella such as myself has been thinking, instead of only having one hospital why don't we have multiple? Reason being is that if I'm RPing in Paleto Bay (which I am) and I end dying I don't got to spawn all the way back in Los Santos. I really think that for us simple country folk that we can get a hospital in Paleto Bay at this location... And if possible maybe even add a hospital in Sandy Shores? That way no one is struggling having to return to their beautiful country side properties on foot due to lack of Uber/Taxi services at the time. Now I can see this working in one of two ways, we can either have it so that you spawn at the nearest hospital (which would be more realistic) OR you can spawn at the hospital of your preference? Either way I think we need more hospital locations.

  8. This needs to be implemented in some way shape or form. Modding out a supercar should be VASTLY more expensive than modding out a beater vehicle. Even the paint job should be pricey on a vehicle that costs 300-500 THOUSAND dollars. Anything that adds a more realistic cost to owning and upgrading a sporty/super vehicle is an absolute 100% from me.

  9. I believe in FD we do acknowledge all if not most hospitals on the map, as we must take patients to the closest hospital for treatment. I think having the idea to have multiple hospitals to be able to respawn at would be handy if you die in a far to reach area. What would also be handy is to have the hospitals appear on the map. I remember starting out in FD trying my best to remember the exact location of each hospital as only Central LS MC is on the map. I have them memorised now, but it's a difficult thing to get used to for new members of FD.

  10. We are after all in 2018. Hospitals can take care of most problems you will have. Including being shot or brutally wounded. All depends on the situation. And since this is the US all depends on your health insurance or money in the bank. Dead people generaly don't pay for expensive operations. That's all IC issues though. I'm all for multiple hospitals. Sometimes one just needs a respawn. For example admin activity is low and/or you died alone where none probably won't find to RP with you. So I don't see there to be a reason for the other hospitals to not work. Unless it is a scripting issue.

  13. None of you seem to read the topic or understand the issue. There are already properties / houses in Sandy, all they're asking for is something like an ATM, a general store, maybe a small gas station? I'm all for it, honestly. Screw people saying ''it'll drag RP outside of Los Santos'', no, it will not. If people are already RPing outside LS, it would just help them and won't force them to go to another town to buy goods from a general store.

  14. I had an issue similar to yours turns out it was RivaTuner Statistics Server overlay from MSI Afterburner that was causing this issue, even if I had the overlay disabled, simply having it load up with windows would cause this issue even after killing the process, I had to rename the .exe from Rivatuner in order to use MSI Afterburner without it triggering, but if it ain't the case, do you have any overlay software activated? If so try disabling them.
