Fixing bugs are not in their priorities.

The only way to combat this is grabbing your shotgun and blow their heads off before they could even type a /me.

This when? Can we have some nice things? We don't need phone groups guys.

I don't usually disagree with you, @Jennie, A group of people must've been doing something silly in a couple ZR350's for it to warrant a nerf.
The nerf has been there since day 1, and they didn't even say anything.
There are more common cars than this, Komoda, Sultan Classic, and they haven't been nerfed, this car is slower than a Komoda without the nerf, I still don't understand why they did it.

It's not about speeding or not, the nerf has been there since the car was added, the car is slower than my Uranus Classic by default, the nerf is pointless when you can get the Calico for 30k more and it's a better car, or 80k less for the RT3000.
And it's not just the speed, its acceleration is garbage, have you ever driven a garbage truck? Well, they have the same acceleration.
this car was fine as it was by default, the nerf is totally unnecessary and it is unrealistic that this car is slower than a Blista.
It's not fair, less for those player who bought the car without knowing about the nerf.

The ZR250 is faster, and driving this 220k car you can get owned by a damn random 60k shitcar.

Am I missing something? I changed my character's hair color a week ago and I was able to save the hair color to all my outfits for a one time price of $100. Unless I'm just missing the point of this suggestion, pretty sure barbershops already have the option to save hair/color to all outfits.
"Save all outfit" replaces every haircut/outfit with the haircut you are wearing in that moment, the suggestion just wants the color, for all the outfits without replacing the haircuts.

What in the hell, +200K weren't enough, completely unnecessary nerf, this car was not as fast as other cars are, I can beat this car with a Futo.

I kinda repeat this from other topics, but just multiply insurance cost by how many driving related infractions are on your record. Eventually it will become too expensive to drive crazily. I think that's far better than putting speed bumps down etc. It would naturally improve people's driving slowly and steadily.
This will simply encourage people to run away from the police when they shouldn't, or to use namechanges when the price is too high.

I'm gonna have to say no, too many drifters as is and it's already out of control.
You know what is already out of control? Robbers.

I don’t think this is going to solve the main issue. Player ran mechanic shops never used to be an issue. There was almost a time where there were too many shops open at one time. The two main issues:
1) Lack of supply: Truckers don’t want to do the job. It’s anti-fun. Robberies are just part of the issue, albeit a big part. The grind of the script literally rewards getting as many deliveries done as possible in the shortest amount of time with no reward to someone’s RP.
2) When there is a limited supply, components get used so quickly that only a few cars will make it through before the shop runs out.
Trucking I understand is a larger undertaking but this problem has been building for a while. It’s very easy to get burned out. There’s no incentive to continue the job for any length of time besides people who enjoy grinding. People are just moving on to other things because of the frustration between constant robberies and non-rewarding roleplay. It’s not a sustainable job. It’s great that Nervous has adjusted the cash to bank payments, so that should help temporarily. However it’s just a bandaid to the larger problem with trucking.
The Garage script should be looked at with regards to the use of components. They simply use too many and truckers obviously can’t keep up. I’m aware the components adjustment was an attempt to curb mechanic pay for the garage and the mechanics, but instead I think the prices of the car modifications should be lowered rather than the number of components being used. I’d even vote for turning component use even lower than it was before the adjustment. This will result in a similar goal in reducing the payments to the garage and mechanic, but now garages can stay open for longer with less components being used.
Reduce the components and reduce the price for sport class, why do I have to pay 4k for a bumper when a Kanjo bumper costs 900$, it will reduce the cost of the components and reduce the income, if you increase the prices of the parts it will only cause the mechanics to get rich.

Whats the problem with that? A lot of places IRL do the same thing
IRL you can go to another place, on the server a garage is more exclusive than a house in Vinewood, why do I have to wait a week to do maintenance on my vehicle?

You have to report inactive businesses or businesses being misused so that people that want to run said business can get a chance to do so. If people don't report it we won't see any changes.
I have known people who reported garages several months ago and they did nothing.

@Kaz Gotta enforce the fact that the garage owner/workers are almost being punished by loising business by allowing this though. Otherwise people will just NPC and make thousands from not opening a business they should be actively running.
Maybe they should open when they have the components and not use it privately for their friends.
Yes, I was in a workshop recently that was "closed" but I saw several mechanics working for their friends, I'm not gonna name and shame.

I personally have kept it IC and made my main (and legal) character move out of the city & stopped spending time in-game since 2 months or so. I only roleplay coming to Los Santos on weekends & that's about it when I log on my law abiding main character. I think if more people were willing to do such sacrifice, the thing would only grow more & more obvious and something must be done to fix it.Instead of fixing it, what the IFM has done is allow them to rob anywhere on the map (They can rob you on the beach at 11AM, a beach with hundreds of people, but you cannot role-play NPCs, therefore, the 600 users who there are on the server are the 600 people who live in LS) and at any time of the day, planning robberies, finding people in alleys or robberies at midnight are a real shit because it's no longer necessary, you see someone in a place, you take out the gun and ez win, run your pockets and showitems, and don't do anything stupid or report.
But hey, if you try to defend yourself because your character suffers from PTSD, you are already a mallrat, PF warrior, no fear rp, and also the Staff asks you to have a background similar to that of an ex-military to accept those kills, a child of 12 Davis year old is fucking John Wick but an adult to defend himself can't hit 2 shots because "nO bAcKgRoUnD", shit, I don't fucking need to know how to aim to shoot, I can kill you with basic notions.
About the garages, yes, the client is not interested in your RP nor is they interested in you, in real life when you go to a mechanic shop you won't look at how he works or make friends with the mechanic, you leave your car, you leave the place, you come back to pick it up and you leave again.
Do you want to solve the problem of the garages? Fix the incredible theft rate, fix the trucker script which is a pain in the ass, fix the cost of components from the workshops, and then you will have something working, but instead of doing these fixes we have bugged scripts, which nobody has asked for , un-fixed bugs on the bug reports subforum and more facilities for the "ayo run your pockets naw" to rob you.

It's not just an issue of truckers being lazy, it's also an issue of truckers being targeted more and more. Most people do not see what happens to truckers on a daily basis, they get robbed, pulled over, mugged, etc. The whole quarter-mile pretty much. To add onto this, there's also tons of people that go out of their way to harass truckers along their routes, I've seen this countless times myself.
This is 1000% what causes truckers to stop trucking. And security, police ,etc. Is not a solution because of the fact that if they do get caught, they'll go to jail and once they're out they just go back to robbing all over again, it's the current meta of RP that is the problem, as in going around in an all black outfit, black helmet and black motorcycle and chasing truckers around to rob them.
It's shit RP tbh, and it's annoying. And the fact is lots of these people that do target truckers with this shitty type of RP get away with it too, because they call it fair RP for their character to constantly rob truckers, and they're well aware of the chain robbing rules and they dodge around this rule by on purpose waiting their last robbery out before targeting a new trucker.
This type of roleplay meta; dodging server rules and providing toxic RP, where it makes no sense to have a character dedicated to rob 24/7. It's shit RP, it shows zero development of your character as a whole, and I think if you're one of these people, you should rethink why you're playing on a RP server with a play to win mentality.
You're the cause of truckers to stop trucking, hell you might even be the cause people quit the server, it's at this point of time a server continuity problem in my eyes as well, because I can see it degrading further and further where in maybe a couple of months from now you'll barely have any truckers, barely any truck companies.
This, the thing is out of control but we gonna give them more facilities to rob, we're going to allow them to rob in the middle of the day anywhere on the map, let's make any place on the map an unsafe place (This is what IFM wanted and is allowing), let's rob the truckers and bully them telling them that their RP is poor, when there are none working we come to the forum to cry that other companies cannot open because there are no components.
The robber gets a CK? nothing happens, it's the fifth character in 3 months (nice character development bro), he creates another character or uses a name change and keeps robbing.
The robberies have been out of control for too long but nobody sees it, the server looks more like a Brazilian Favela than America, you are safer among hungry lions than in LS..
The harassment of users towards other users is also uncontrolled, it's allowed to laugh at them both on the forum and on discord, people don't want them to laugh at them so they avoid working as truck drivers, there is also another cause, and that is that trucker script is a pain in the ass, component cost is another joke.

We do not use the speed only to decide the price. The car design / model is a huge factor in it.
I hope that the new Futo GTX, which is the same car as the current Futo (I say this because the Beater Dukes is more expensive than the normal Dukes), doesn't have such a different price, as well as the Remu (Silvia S13), which is a car with less power/worse design than the ZR250 (RX7 FC3S), I hope the car may not be priced similarly to the Penumbra (240K), as well as the new muscle car and the other vehicles, because some vehicle prices are excessively high and they don't make any sense.

Message to the STAFF; The new vehicles aren't that fast, please, think carefully about the prices and put them accordingly, Futo has a handling and speed similar to the Futo GTX, do not raise the price too much, Remu, ZR350 and RT3000 have a very normal speed, just like the new muscle cars.
P.S: If any of you need help testing them on the test server to decide the price, DM me, I'll do it for free.

The best solution would probably be that when you buy a vehicle you write a small reason why it makes sense and then if an admin checks your profile they can see the reasons you wrote. I am just honestly tired of everyone being Japanese.
You're not going to stop human stupidity by having them write an app, they'll just buy another car and be an asshole, like muscle car owners doing wheelies, Cheetah, Ocelot owners drifting in Vespucci, if you want to avoid that the only thing is deleting all the vehicles from the server and go on foot.

I never said you needed a JDM car to be a racer. I just said if they add all that shit it will just become more rampant. If you want my opinion I'd rather JDM cars be behind an application because everyone and their mom get one and pretend they're some Japanese godsent drifter.
If they do the stupid with a certain class of vehicles they will do it with another, are you also going to put an application when they start doing the stupid thing with those other cars?

This just sounds to me like more racers.
You don't need a JDM car to be a racer, I'm tired of seeing rental Blistas/Asbos and European/Muscle cars doing the assholes on GTAW.
Because of this stigmatization, the JDM cars cost twice what they should cost, a curious information is the last added vehicles, the JDMs are usually the most expensive, and another thing, the ZR250 costs 165k and the Ariant (because they didn't know anything about this vehicle) which is another JDM car and well known for drift costs 88K, if they had known it was a toyota chaser jzx100 the price would be 150k.

Hi, yes, this is my first serious thread here, and I want to expose something that has been going through my head for a few months.
What is the suggestion subforum for? Is it read by the Staff?
There are dozens of threads to improve the user experience, which don't have a single message from a developer, founder who could say yes or no, or if the suggestion is viable or not, examples:
I'm not going to fill the thread with suggestions, these are many that could make the server a better place, but they're ignored even after being read/bumped over and over again, the only staff who say anything are the admins/support team who sadly cannot do anything.
Why are these suggestions ignored and others added that no one has asked for? Why are these suggestions ignored? they would make the server a more comfortable place, we have been requesting notifications on phones for months, also requesting to remove the animation when someone calls us, simple things like these aren't added or ignored.
Many of these suggestions are a simple change in the code, and yes, it's easier to remove the animation than to create a script from scratch like the billiard/pool one, but they still prefer to spend hours on a script than improving others that are a pain in the ass.
We don't need more mods for the PD, we don't need more dogs or cats to be added, we need QoL, we need improvements in the current scripts, currently using the phone or the barbershop menu is more of a hassle than an improvement, they are slow and tedious to use, we need a notification system for the phone, we receive messages and we don't know it until it's too late.
Both players who play in illegal and legal factions need changes to the current scripts.
I understand that you are doing it for free and you aren't forced to do this, I understand that possibly the orders are from someone with a higher rank than you, but this thread is not to demand, it's to show that users need improvements in the current scripts than new scripts that no one has asked or will use.
Another thing that I want to clarify are also the suggestions being denied/closed due to simple ignorance, I've seen suggestions such as adding the Sanchez with livery because said person believed it was impossible, when they're two different bike models, but the thread was closed without possible discussion, let people debate, maybe someone knows more than you in this.

Make streaming distance clientside
in Archive
Posted
Won't work, this is server side, it's like a Minecraft server, the server is who decides how many chunks will be loaded, here is the same thing with the streamer distance.
