  2. As far as I'm concerned it comes down to an IC issue at the end of the day - Why aren't there any mechanics at LSC? Could there be a way for there to be more activity and people actually wanting to work there? I'm not naming specific instances but I do see where you're coming from.

    Unfortunately, the pay for LSC is just something that'd need to be brought up ICly via SAGOV. However, I can make note of the suggestion about differentiating LSC/Bayview mechanics for the auto repair system and see if it's something that devs would be interested in looking into - I cannot promise anything however.

    If you were to make auto repairs at LSC a thing because nobody clocks on at LSC, and there are still some at Bayview, Bayview would become obsolete, unless you once again jack up the price and time it takes to make people want to go up north.

    No thank you.

    What I would like though is some customization options for the chatbox, size, font size, the ability to have a background etc. That would help a lot, especially at resolutions larger than 1080p, where the chat gets relatively small.

    This would be great.

    it is beneficial to turn off distractions like colorful rgb pattern of ads that flashes between your eyes and is a high-seizure risk, why would anyone want for some poor kiddo to have seizure and die in front of their monitar?

    Lets just focus on that for a second.

    Anyways, there are IC and OOC restrictions already in place to avoid spam.

    The trees have returned. Known bugs have been fixed, and in response to the feedback, we have also removed certain objects from the DLC that were seen as too obstructive for driving fast, like immovable bollards, concrete  planters, etc., especially if those places had poor aesthetic value and were too scattered. The purpose of the mod is purely aesthetics. Criminals might be able to leverage the new trees as well, as police cars can also crash into the new terrain, it might be good for cover from bullets and hiding from the police helicopter.

    It does indeed look a tonne better. Cheers!

  6. I can see how its bad, because as something as simple as "/vpm 69 Hey nice bike man!" Gives you their character name and it can be used for malicious ways, for example metagaming what masked members of opposing gangs are hanging around. On the other hand if that information is used in-character it is considered a rule break, so you should probably be noting and reporting those instances too.

    I can't remember the last time I was ever seriously /vpm'd (sent or recieved) in my 4 years of being in this community. It doesn't really have it's place, and would probably have zero downsides if it was removed, or you could change it to how the regular /pm works, with aliases hidden when masked.

    Small +1 from me.

    I think the short answer to your question is yes, they are wanted.
    That being said, I can actually completely understand why you would question whether they are.

    To be real, ECRP doesn't do criminal very well anymore and hasn't for the past two years.
    I've spent hours and hours making suggestions and trying to offer advice to these man. Responded to threads like this. Pushed and pushed people making the decisions to make changes but nothing comes of it.

    I love the server but we're really poor at this criminal thing and for those that are interested, I'll explain why I think so.

    Staff Team

    • People are passionate about what they know and are involved in. Almost all of our head admins are cop role-players. Almost all of our Senior Admins are legal role-players. Almost all of our Administrators are legal role-players. A lot of our Senior Moderators are legal role-players. A lot all of our Moderators are legal role-players.
    • It's possible for people to have ideas and an interest in areas outside what they are involved in or enjoy but whether it's a case of time consuming or personal feelings towards the other side or whatever, it's easy for criminal stuff to get dismissed.
    • Criminal Roleplayers are in my view, woefully represented. You're not going to push things that don't benefit you personally, that's natural but if there's not enough people to do it for crims, then you don't get stuff pushed.

    Rules

    • The way we approach violence in the server really doesn't help. There was a point in time last year where ECRP was legitimately becoming like The Sims. People that did make moves were catching warnings left, right and centre. 
      Some people call ECRP a Cops and Robbers server. It's not, it was a Cops and Civilians server.
      It has improved but it's still way off.
    • Criminals have to have the freedom to do criminal shit. Criminal shit in a GTA RP server means fighting, robbing and building a reputation for being the baddest. Everyone wants to be the hardest, the deepest, the roughest, the toughest. 
    • That doesn't mean it has to be a DM fest but you got to address the balance. 
      Think of it like a pan of water on a stove. You don't want it to boil and spill out onto the stove but you want that shit to be simmering.
    • Reality is, shit popping off brings everyone into the mix and gets people active again.

    Script

    • Burger Shot turned out to promote some actually good RP for civilians, Vending Machines are a nice touch but criminals NEED their content update so fucking badly.
    • I don't even consider the criminal update to be just for criminals. Do you know how many cops are sick to death of the same bank robberies over and over? It feels like so many long time players are just biding their time waiting for this update to drop.
    • It's a misconception too that criminals need a lot of shit adding, they don't. 
    • Get criminals out of apartment labs and cooking in the world again, in chop shops they set up and run themselves. BAM OVERNIGHT SENSATION.
    • Get criminals setting up their own chop shop that they run themselves. BAM ANOTHER ONE.
    • Add more locations to rob, even with the same script. WE'RE ON A ROLL.

    Prison

    • It's a miserable experience for crims and it's selling a fantastic faction like DOC short by it being miserable for them too.
    • A poker table that no one uses because it's obsolete, digging for ore in the middle of a concrete prison yard, alt tabbing to watch netflix or beating the shit out of someone for no reason to pass the time is not a good experience.
    • Add the burger shot cooking to the prison.
      Allow crims inside DOC to play poker for a viable currency.
      Look at the many prison suggestion threads for other items.
    • If the prison was better, criminals would be less OOCly hostile towards cops for taking them there. 
    • "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime' is a BS attitude to have as well. Going to prison for a criminal is like being stuck at the impound all day for a cop. Miserable and counter productive. An RP server is supposed to provoke you into roleplay situations, which you then manifest, not encourage you to ALT-TAB. 

    Standard of Criminals

    • A symptom of the above issues is some of the poor quality factions that we have rolling around today. I'm not going to be toxic and name names or dig people out but with each passing wave of factions, the quality seems to drop and becomes about trying to exploit the meta and all about trying to fuck over/beef the cop factions because they are the only real challenge or they take getting arrested so personal.
       
    • The way criminals carry themselves at times is dead. You look at someone like Lola, who puts time and effort into her character and almost every action her character takes, makes fucking sense. None of this asking for badge numbers even though you don't want to make a complaint or whipping your phones out to record people for no reason. Maybe chatting shit based on how someone's voice doesn't match the character or jumping on cruisers or any of that dumb shit that makes no damn sense. I don't want to big people up too much but RPers like Lola fucking get what its supposed to be.
       
    • Some crims don't help themselves or their factions with some of the bias in their threads or suggestions. End of the day, I've been almost exclusively a cop on ECRP for three years but I put as much time/effort into improving shit for crims as anyone. Better criminals means a more enjoyable server for me to play on. I'm really not the only cop that feels that way either, i think a lot of us want/need criminals to be better supported and be more interesting to interact with as a result.

    There is a real, genuine disconnect between the different departments in the community. Staff are predominately legal role-players and think criminals should behave in a way that criminals either have little interest in or they are incapable of doing so in a meaningful way. Criminals get frustrated and pissed off because they don't feel they are taken seriously, so they fuck around or make "state of.." threads. Ultimately, we just go around in circles until the next thread.

    That being said, we live in hope x

    There it is, a genuinely amazing post that needs to be heeded by senior staff. Please take this and use it to further better the server.
