  1. This would complicate matters for both factions, as they'd have to have to keep track off all their members to not order anything besides what would be allowed, and for staff who would have to continously check if these limitations are enforced correctly. Experience has shown us that this isn't as easy as it sounds for factions to enforce limitations without script support.
  2. We will not be giving out vehicles to player factions. Founders have made it clear that this is something they wanted to step away from. Furthermore, there would only be so many unique cars remaining. most of these cars that arent in the server haven't been added for a reason. We could look at implementing the dune buggy for dealerships with a future vehicle release/gta update. Additionally, giving vehicles to people individually would be a nightmare to keep track off and simply not workable. Adding them as a faction vehicle would introduce even more complications as they can only be spawned by people who are on-duty and have a faction parking. This is something player factions dont have and we are also not planning to add.
  3. Hey! I see some good suggestions in this post which we can discuss further amongst senior staff in our next meeting. I can only directly comment on the gun price changes, which will happen with the upcoming gun update. Bakmeel
  4. @Bala I dont think anyone disagrees that it'd be better if we could offer rewards that'd require development changes. However I do think it is important that we can offer something that we can actually deliver instead of having to say its something we can look at in the future. The reason we dont offer a higher faction member cap as a reward is because we do not believe this would improve the faction variety in the server. We believe this would have the opposite effect of that as more people just join an existing faction, get the rewards that they are looking for and don't take the effort to create something unique that'd benefit the server. Keep in mind that the tier rewards are an extra on top of the "standard rewards" that official status would bring. Most of these tier rewards were not offered prior to the tier system or even during the F4 system prior to official factions and Faction Services as a whole in 2018. We offer factions, official and non official, the opportunity to create and apply for unique RP opportunities that they can setup themselves with the help of the Event Team and FS, which in turn could further their type of RP. Feel free to suggest rewards that'd be more of a pat on the back. We are always open for suggestions!
  5. @Marksy Weapon prices will be reviewed with the new gun update that is in the workings. @Rocky BolognaAt this time we don't believe that shrinking factions is the best move. However, this does not mean we won't consider it in the future. @MortemWe have discussed the topic of a "black market medic/criminal medic" before. However, to properly introduce this feature we would need some script changes and can't offer it as a tier reward at this time. @Beet Did you read the original thread?
  6. ((Hello everyone! Since this was an event that influenced most of the server, we feel that it is necessary to post a final message on how to proceed with your RP surrounding this event. This RP is now officially over and NLR will go into effect. This means that Matthew Burns will start roleplaying for the government again unharmed and with no memories of this situation. We have given the LEO's the opportunity to continue with forensic RP on the remains of Matthew Burns specifically from the 06/JAN 2200UTC until 08/JAN 2200UTC. From now on this situation must be referred to as the kidnapping and murder of "a government director" instead of "Matthew Burns".))
  7. Hey Mr. Bakmeel. Big fan. 

  8. After discussing this topic further amongst senior staff we have come to the conclusion that our current rules cover this issue sufficiently already and no changes need to be made. 7. IC and OOC Interactions Offensive Language, Sexual, Torture, or Disgusting Roleplay Players are only allowed to engage in sexual, torture, or disgusting roleplay if all players involved including witnesses give prior OOC consent. Such roleplay should therefore not be held in public areas or areas where players commonly visit, e.g., prison/jail. Usage of ethnic and/or LGBT+ related slurs is considered disgusting roleplay and all parties involved must give prior OOC consent before it can be done. In addition, it must make roleplay sense for your character to want to use any racial slurs In Character. Racism Out-of-Character is strictly forbidden. Players using offensive language excessively In-Character through text or VOIP must stop if a player asks for it Out-of-Character. Players are not permitted to use offensive language Out-of-Character to others. Punishment: Anything from a warning to a permanent ban, depending on the context, severity, and occurrences. If a player continues with this kind of behavior after they have been asked to stop, they can be reported to staff who will then deal with the situation. Bakmeel
  9. Thank you for making a considerate reply. Merrry Christmas.
  10. Hello everyone! I would like to give a small update on this. As you are all aware, when I first posted this message we pitched this idea originally as a test and to begin establishing a format for the events. So far, we have done 7 of these events and we are very happy with how things have gone so far and are proud of all the people that have participated. I would now like to announce that we are moving into the second stage of testing and expanding this event. The second stage consists of involving factions that do not have handlers yet but have made IC relations with the cartel and whom we believe to be positively minded people. This does not mean that every gang who starts out will automatically get an invite to these events nor should they intentionally seek out a relationship so they can participate. However, we have heard your feedback about expanding inclusion and are seeing how we can develop this expansion through IC interactions. I would like to remind all the gangs who have participated so far and gangs that will join in the future about the following: What do we absolutely not want to see? - We do not want to see these events turn into shootouts between factions or with law enforcement. - We do not want to see these events turn into situations where poor RP standards are displayed. - What should you do if this turns into a police chase? You can evade the cops all you want though it should not end in a shootout. Please continue to give feedback as this will help us to improve the experience for everyone. Faction Services Management
  11. No. We haven't encountered a situation like this before, but I am confident we could find a solution for that player/faction if this was the case. Every tier can already request altRP every 2 months, we have no intentions to make this longer for factions below a certain tier. We already offer something like this at Tier 5 - Ability to import rare drugs such as Shrooms and Steroids via LFB/Cartel. These are drugs that can't be obtained any otherway currently and can be resold by gangs to actual players. I like your idea, but it would require development work which is why we can't offer it as a tier reward. The time required for someone to get official is completely depending on the faction itself. We have had factions go through the tier 1 stage quite quickly where as others needed some more time to be ready for tier 2. Our tier system is not something scripted, this means that if we give a faction an F4 menu theyll have access to taking over turfs and ordering, this in turn means that Faction Services has to keep an extra eye on all of these factions. With your reasoning this would mean that you can tell each other to save POV easier with an F4 menu whilst we already allow factions to have a discord where they can send OOC messages to each other. We mentioned starting in tier 1 or tier 2 in our F.A.Q. Q: What tier will I start in? A: A faction will be placed in either Tier 1 or Tier 2 once they recieve official status. This is due to a large number of factors including reviewing how our Official Faction system is working in conjunction with the present amount of factions and server environment. Too many official factions, especially those similar in nature, as well as too few official factions, have different impacts including but not limited to minimizing perks of official status as well as crippling potential criminal roleplay. Because of this, the tier system's starting flexibility is important. This is definitely something we can look at in the future. At the moment the modding team is still very busy getting the first batch of outfits in the game. Once that process is running smoothly we will look at expanding rewards done by modders.
  12. I have removed some comments that did not follow the rules for this thread. Please remain on-topic. Original post can be found here https://forum.eclipse-rp.net/topic/133247-faction-services-tier-sytem-explained/#comment-436351
