    Lower beanbag range

    in Archive

    Posted

    What's the logic of beanbagging people off a moving bike during a simple traffic stop? There is a high risk of injury, right? There definitely should be some official guidelines on what's acceptable when using the beanbag shotgun.

    Noticeable increase in shootings and violent occurrences

    in Archive

    Posted · Edited by sCrax

    We don't need a national guard, we need a competent staff team that will enforce rules properly and punish people that break them instead of giving them 7 unofficial warnings. If you get away with mass murder once then you'll just do the same shit over and over because it's clearly tolerated. If people were getting banned for this blatant rule breaking then we wouldn't have 250 murders every day. It's not rocket science. You can't battle OOC rule breaking by putting new IC measures in place.

    Staff team needs to step it up and give out harsher punishments for DM and poor escalation. There are factions getting block wiped every day but the perpetrators get away with an unofficial warning or a 20-minute ajail after waiting a month for a report to get solved. IFM and management should push factions towards using their fists or melees instead of grabbing four people with ARs during every hit. There are factions with 5 pages that are already posting DM montages. Seems like IFM doesn't wanna do shit about these DM factions. And these factions are usually led by the same players that have been previously banned but somehow always end up unbanned. Just scroll through unofficial groups, the quality of roleplay in most of the illegal factions went downhill. We had New York gangs, we have gangs using UK slang and then factions that beef half the server just to have an excuse to shoot. The quality of the roleplay here is slowly turning into shit as IFM and RPQM idly watch. Can we see some permanent bans for players that repeatedly break rules and create characters to only DM? Stop giving out unbans after 3 days.

    Basketball current scene

    We are setting up an amateur basketball league that will bring events to the city but also funds and things to do for people that make basketball part of their development. It will also bring promo opportunities for businesses. If anybody wants to help out or simply get involved - PM me here on forums or on discord: sCrax#2153.

    Unpopular Opinion: The Thread

    I mean we're not gonna sit here and act like 90%+ of the black chars you run across in game aren't allK bangersK. It's a unpopular opinions thread and maybe it's an unpopular opinion but that shit is kinda cringe. Personally I run across WAY more diverse RP in factions that aren't black. It's an issue I think reaches towards a few races being RPed on the server but the black portion definitely dominates the memes. There's a reason why a lot of people completely stray away from that type of RP. I'm black as shit and I refuse to interact anywhere near Davis anymore. Maybe the issue is that most of the people who RP black chars are mostly interested in criminal RP? Who knows. 

     

    For the sake of the topic tho, I hate how almost every crim is basically a fucking serial killer with no mental toll. I rarely ever see down spiral RP. 

     

    To single out black characters is just dumb. Most Hispanic gangs here act like they time-travelled back to 80s with their cholo lifestyle and vocabulary of a Mexican immigrant that just crossed the border. Most white gangs here act like they are straight out of American History X. Not even going to mention all the characters that are part of European groups that can't speak any English IC but somehow got 3 cars, 2 houses and a business.

     

    Are we gonna sit here and act like 90%+ European characters aren't part of a questionable criminal group? 

     

    Overall RP quality here is not the best and people lack proper knowledge when portraying any characters but to single out black characters is just stupid.

    The problem of money being both IC And OOC

    The main problem with this are businesses, menyoo and mapping are problems as well since it's mostly for privileged people who have decent enough hardware to run GTA V on Ultra with some kinda mod to make them banger pictures. You could arguably map on a shitty computer, but it isn't as comfortable, especially when you have to map a business for someone, in which case - look back at the first sentence.

    This is the one thing I will agree with regarding OOC money - blips. To anyone who thinks blips being locked behind a paywall is a great idea because it prevents fifty different places being opened at the same time - get your head out of your butthole. We need competition on this server now that the economy is somehow good more than ever. I am sick and tired of seeing the same shit open. If we want more populated streets and less incentive to grind menyoo and mapping, but more roleplay, we need to have a lot of places to roleplay in and around. If we see three different bars open next to each other on a street, one's a punk one and the two others are more generic, everyone will find something that will suit their character. People will finally socialize together instead of being forced to drive across the city to the next blip once something closes down.

    I have played on servers where ten different businesses were open next to each other, it doesn't cause unfair advantages, bad competition or anything of the sort. It boosts people's creativity because they might get drunk and leave and go to the taco truck that opened up next to them. Or they might get their nails done and go to the bar next door to ramble to the bartender and show them off.

    Think about it, Management. Because I know it is you who keep pushing this whole agenda that many blips are a bad idea. They're not a bad idea, let people run their businesses how they want to run them, with free blips. Let people get paid for menyoo and mapping too since it takes effort, this is not as big of a problem as people make it out to be. 

    I understand that the server needs to be paid off somehow, I really do. You already have namechanges, plates, phone numbers, even furniture slots locked behind a paywall. If we need some sort of mechanic to keep the server running, we should definitely keep the aforementioned things behind a paywall because at the end of the day, you do not need them to roleplay. You do not need a different phone number or plate than the one that the server assigns you. You DO however need that blip if you want your business to be successful, so once again - this is the only thing that I will fully agree on from this post. Menyoo and mapping can stay, I don't care. It's sad that only the people with high end gear can do menyoo but that's life and life isn't always fair.

    This comes back to what I said about driving culture on this server. Sure this is America but we're a RP server, we could do with some more pedestrian population and roleplay and not just driving from blip A to blip B because that's the only businesses that pop up on the map.

    Sorry for going a little bit off topic here and there but this isn't as simple of a topic and it does connect with what I said.
     

    More open businesses give players more roleplay options. And also competition is never bad. There is no downside to having different businesses opened at the same time. Whoever decided that you need to pay for a blip doesn't give a fuck about RP quality at all. I know a bunch of people that have unique business ideas but are not in a situation to pay this much money every month just because they want to have fun a few hours a week. Shit's insane. People complain that there is nothing to do besides going to clubs/bars but will make you pay a shitty fee just to open your business in a video game.

    Knocked out cold

     

    During the programming, Ron Brazy gets knocked out cold by CrashOut. The crowd is concerned about RonBrazy's health but he eventually regains consciousness.

    Effectiveness of Housing Price Controls

    in Archive

    Posted

    This will only make market prices go crazy. We saw it on ls-rp when there were no restrictions. Houses in the hood were selling for tens of millions just because there was a shortage of houses and people were taking advantage of it to farm the most money they can.
