Surely, it must be false considering the fact imports had to be cut off by faction management to prevent a made up story. I didn't know speaking facts is toxic. Roleplay has never been limited on Eclipse, the only roleplay that has been limited over time is the one that promotes poor interactions and rightfully so. If the only roleplay you have on this server is robbing people, cooking drugs and buying guns maybe you should start reinventing yourself or opt out for another genre of games. I am not sorry if my arguments and factual statements are hurting your feelings and do not match your opinion, because they are not intended to, they are not for the faint-hearted. You wanted to speak issues, I am giving you them, but in regular fashion you write them off and say I provide nothing useful. Great suggestions are being forwarded on your thread but you would rather argue with me, that is on you, not me.

Is the staff team as well as the whole server willing to adopt another doctrine because 'some players' feel that their stance on things is not taken into account? You further prove my point with your following statement; I will go ahead and stop here, you take your time to read this ^ and try to figure out the issue, assuming that you are not part of it.

The continuation of these threads is evident, and 90% of them preach a rule change as well as a looser approach to robberies, the reintroduction of labs and so on. If we're objective for just a minute you would most definitely notice that the rules, server changes and faction management are not the issue, yet the players themselves. Let's be real, gang roleplay isn't gang roleplay anymore, it's just a few screenshots for your thread and the rest is cooking, robbing and shooting (correct me if I'm wrong here). Nothing original came up for a while now, people make gangs for the sole purpose of allying a bigger gang and base their existence on that which is ridiculous to me. Now that all of the action is gone people go back to the forums and deface the work faction management does, blame the poor ruling and include law enforcement as the issue as well in hopes 'crim rp' makes a breakthrough and you can finally rob someone in the middle of the street once again, please. Let's all start by bettering ourselves first before going out and blaming everyone else for your poorly planned actions.

The suggestion is very aesthetically pleasing and would definitely find use on the server. It is highly unlikely that a few lines of code would mess with the backbone or hardcode of the server, very clean and simple suggestion. Hopefully the devs can experiment with this system and create something more complex that could find extensive use on the server. +1

If we are being honest, this rule is being disregarded on a daily basis and that goes without saying. Myself being involved in mass conflict and the only official war on the server I know for a fact this rule is not enforced as much as it should be, so does everyone else, and should receive proper revision with clear guidelines, restrictions, do's and dont's. In regards to people pointing out there is no potential for future roleplay and that wars can be technically ended in one fight, this is not true believe it or not, NLR has not received any enforcement in the first official war, ever, nor it will besides the 30 minute rule which should definitely stay in place. If people or groups seek to capitalize on one issue to convey and produce even more issues for the sole purpose of sparking wide-spread, constant conflict then I totally disagree with this. This rule is here for a reason, and it is to prevent people from having a reason to constantly escalate unnecessarily just to produce more issues, chaining and looping them as they seek justify their actions. +1 to groups/people being able to capitalize on reoccurring issues and conflict -1 to groups/people escalating/capitalizing unnecessarily based on past interactions, singular or diminutive

It is an issue at large, the rules are very simplified in a way that abusing them is relatively easy, I do not prefer using the term vague but some rules do have apparent loopholes and roleplay in general is suffering because of this. Hopefully the staff team can clear this up and define ruleplay as a rule breach and issue clear and strict punishments. +1

I believe the function was removed to improve and promote better quality roleplay, being able to use your phone and not radio is a valid argument, yes, the system has inconsistencies but removing the ability to use your radio is a relative gray area, what if my phone died and my only resort is to use my radio to save my life? As previously mentioned people usually shout and give callouts over the radio while gravely injured which to me has a counter-effect, you are most likely to get shot and 'finished' for using it rather than not, if you really value your life you are going to focus on getting help, not telling a group of people about the whereabouts of your enemies rather than your location and seeking medical attention. +/- maybe we can reintroduce the usage of the radio while injured with some guidelines in place, for the better or worse.

kifflom!

Remaining true As time flies by, alliances are formed, friendships are hardened and respect is earned, yet the everlasting hatred and division between the underground and law enforcement remains the same. There is no line, there are no rules of engagement, the sweaty favela of crime and money is ravaged by the government as the criminal underground resumes to exceed expectations, set new grounds and show their teeth, resilience and wisdom. Law enforcement having an unbeatable budget, new ways to fight are sought after as they slowly but surely encroach whatever they set their eyes on. A common enemy shared among rivals they remain as the main antagonist of any criminal. Expectations Kris, during his time with his long lost family he has gotten a chance to get a head start, a step ahead the danger in blue. Continually finding ways to outsmart law enforcement which they add onto he is forced to find new ways to provide for himself and those around him. Drug dens and portable labs are a common way for the above average criminal to further his craft, expand his area of operations. Recent changes requiring an influx of drug sales to satisfy the needs of merchants, mechanics and off shore pharmacists Kris is expected to provide, to earn himself favors. Time remains unbeaten, the everlasting struggle for power is at large and reaching a peak, what faith has in store for him, he can only wonder.

In light of recent development a team is formed assigned to preform a specific task, a chain of them. A new directive is set and the goal was made very clear, extortion. Law enforcement started noticing a rise in missing vehicles, chained robberies and bank hits, this is due to the demands of the few holding the criminal underground, manipulating power, status, and most important of all, shipments. Illegal contraband and drugs are the alma mater of the underground, without that a criminal organization can not flourish under poor conditions given by them. A cold war, an arms race is in progress and this selective group of people have been on the radar of many for the past few weeks. The people pulling the strings remain unknown, this is just the beginning.

extremely well thought out, the amount of detail is astounding to say the least, i hope the developers see this +1

very aesthetically pleasing thread, best of luck, hopefully you keep the standard you've set

I firmly believe the firearms license and the access it gives as of right now is completely fine, however, small, but useful additions could be made such as the introduction and legalization of the flashlight weapon modification, it is merely a cosmetic addition with the only pro being that it emits light, increasing target/object visibility while pointing your weapon. Realistically, the majority of the US has access to weapon modifications such as rails, bump stocks, extended magazines (with exception), scopes and so on, but I believe these should be reserved just to criminals as it provides advantage in certain situations, and it is made like that purposefully. The recent update allows criminals to get body armor for the price of $10,000 which I find ridiculous, I mean I got it the second I could but I feel in a few months time when people settle well with money you'll have people driving drags with body armor on, civilians at the bank and NCZs wearing them purely cosmetically and even government workers such as MD and LSC utilizing them at their work space, highly unrealistic in my opinion. Snipers, muskets, flare guns and addition of other weapons are a huge no from me, people hunting want to make money, not to spend money on ammo and guns just to pay it back with their meat, I get it, roleplay, but you would only have people utilizing them as criminal tools, I can already see people abusing this. Flare guns are unnecessary, even if they're inducted in the server they should serve as an illegally obtainable item, I hardly see it being utilized by civilians for any purpose (maybe MD for MEDEVAC calls?). Overall, big no to snipers, muskets, shotguns and flares, the machete in my opinion could be a decent addition but would serve no purpose as a roleplay tool, we already have a hatchet and I believe that is enough, I am a fan of diversity and having a plethora of options to choose from, but I really do not see it happening.

+1 surely, with the recent addition of life invader it most definitely proves something like this is possible. the forum itself is going to be accessible out of game still, yes, and it should be because i already see writing emails in game via the phone is going to be a pain in the ass especially with some factions utilizing formatted replies, extensive bb codes usage and whatnot, with that 'small' screen it'd be infuriating to scroll up and down, find issues, correct them, preview and do that all over again. some kind of notification tab could be useful as well giving us a heads up that we got an email just like the text system works, a beep and a pop up message. also adding onto this, maybe the in game laptop could serve a new purpose, maybe add the government site to the laptop itself and have it stretch out over the most of our screens (the size of the laptop weapon import page per say) so you can easily fill out forms, reply and email without having to tab out, open the forums, navigate to the desired forum and so on, this would not benefit crims as much, if anything it would be a blow because people would be buying laptops out leaving them empty handed at times, maybe the laptop price and overall use could get a makeover?

-1, its more of a cosmetic thing if anything, people just like being seen in one as it looks cool i guess, i dont see any roleplay in people running around with kevlar vests all the time like we're in the purge. sure, and let's give criminals and civilians attack helicopters and insurgents so everyone is equal since we're in a tdm server.

+1, and to all the people voicing their concerns regarding extended magazines rarely ever do police use or have extended magazines, they're predominantly used on pistols to broaden magazine capacity up to 12-17 rounds but on rare occasions as in real life the extended magazines heavily effect ergonomics and weight of the weapon making it harder to control and shoot. never will you see a real life swat operator carry a 45 or 60 round mag, they're unreliable, unnecessary and overkill, as said, attachments barely effect any parameters of the weapon anyways besides the silencer which just reduces noise while shooting, everything else is pretty much cosmetic and i dont see any issues civilians having flashlights on their pistols and swat having an occasional scope and grip as they do in real life.

the gang most definitely left an imprint on the server that will forever live on, overcoming adversity is not easy, while many dislike you, they have to respect what you've done and acknowledge the sheer will and dedication throughout the years. i've had my fair share of giving shit to others, but right now you just have to stand up, applaud and appreciate the hours, days, weeks and months of work. you've outdone yourself and you deserve nothing but respect. may the odds forever be in your favor. omashala :^)

stunning graphics, best of luck in your endeavors

interesting theme, best of luck

good luck

Integrity is something that you obviously lack, it's an obvious paradox you're stating things that are self-contradictory meaning you don't stand behind what you say, it's having an opposite effect, you want to get the rule removed because it gives you no leniency yet when it comes to you getting robbed you impose it blindly, I do not expect you, your leader or anyone else reading this to understand, but the neutral parties surely will. I'll avoid replying anymore since some people are using the thread to unleash their pent up frustrations and I do not want to be a part of it, I hope your voyage to improve your perception of criminal roleplay goes well.
