Why aren't 40 member factions healthy? To be more specific, recently Rooks and LostMC both hit 40. Before that Irish was at 40. What's not "healthy" about these factions? Seems like your arguments here are empty. The larger factions that have been around recently like D6, Rooks, Irish. Are extremely more harder to join than the smaller factions such as Rising suns, Ballas, Underground. So this point makes absolutely no sense. Anyone could walk right into these small factions but the big ones? No way... People have different time zones, they play at different times. It's a fact. I want to login and have faction members to have fun RP with everytime and lowering factions members just makes that chance lower. In real life they're are gangs of 100 and then there are gangs of 1 thousand, on this server that can be reflected with gangs of 20 and gangs of 40. You'll never see 40 members, rarely you'll ever see 50% of that. So there isn't a problem. Forcing gangs to be the same size just OOCly forces you to be weaker ICly. The result will be clap crews going around easily defeating these new tiny gangs. You'll login, and log off quickly bc no one in your tiny gang is on and then when your tiny gang has a fight against the other tiny gang, the one who has best shooters wins. So the crew with all the best shooters in can just go round beaming every single gang. -1

@Melody Frey Your suggestions for getting gang scripted parking lots and /fspawn command for gangs isn't ever going to happen, for the better. Also these suggestions are for non-scripted rewards for tier system...

Couple ideas: Increase in faction members from 40 to 45. Decrease heavy weapon import price. Increase shipment power thats generated on main turf. A couple Special vehicle imports through cartel. Higher tiers shouldn't have to wait so long for Alt RP.

Thing is... the players who turn off shadows are the players who primarily shoot and evade. They're not the civilian RPers...

@TheCactus @Bala The relevance of hearing Xray is out the question. Your acting as if this suggestion is to get rid of X-Ray. It's not at all... Let's stay focused. Using the OP resource of Xray to pull a green car over because you knows it's Irish with guns shouldn't be a thing. And that's what I and many others had to deal with. This as you can imagine ruins our experience and stops us from creating actual RP opertunitys that PD can get involved in like chases or shootouts. Criminal players are leaving the server more and more, how bout give us a break and let us comit the crime before arresting us? Cuz if I spawn in with a .50 and get in my paragon, I shouldn't be paying ridiculous impound fees, gun charge fees and 2hours of AFK cuz a cop saw me. The suggestion is to stop using Xray for the purpose of intentionally looking for gang affiliated vehicles to catch them "recklessly" driving as an excuse for ground units to search them. Crims can drive at 80 and yield at ever light to prevent this but it is painful. PD themselves drive round at speeds of 80 to 100 in the city without yielding. EDIT: If Xray sees a vehicle recklessly driving, a unit should be called to confirm this by also catching them. XRay don't have to turn a blind eye but they themselves shouldn't be confirming recklessness so you can search and force us into an AFK box.

+1 I'd suggest to make Los Santos Bank and Paleto Bank both robbable too, removing the unnecessary NCZ. However, making it much harder with a higher price per pack.

If that costs 15k then why r u doing that. Park and unpark it lmao

Whats a visual repair? A normal repair costs 1k. Never been more for me unless on 0 XD

It's great to see some insight from experienced legal players like yourself and I think your statement says it all. If a rulebreak can't be handled in game then of course a forum report can be made by anyone (PD or crim). However not everyone has your mentality @Bill Breacher of PMing them to fix it between yourselves, then doing a /report 4 and finally doing a forum if that doesn't work. Right now, players jump to the forums straight away with minor rulebreaks and 0 attempt to resolve the issue themselves. In the Player Report Requirements it says "reserve player reports for situations that have caused severe loss" "Purposefully broke a rule" yet this is not enforced by staff creating a toxic win mentality environment. This quote from report requirements should be a requirement: "Reporting another player should be reserved for your final options when a rule breach has occurred. Always try to teach other players in the community"

@Bala As a criminal it is imperative for me and for others to see Player Reports and their outcomes. This is how we learn about the rules which we can most definitely not do from the rules. Criminals check through player reports everyday to stay up to date with the what Admins are banning people for. Where in comparison, I've met players in legal factions who've never even clicked on it. The issue at hand is that reporting has become a way of revenge due to IC feelings which is blatant toxicity. I've never been in a community that hates eachother so much. In comparison with other servers where players simply help eachother and move on. No one banned, everyone happy and outcome is ultimately more positive.

Add this question in report format - "What have you done to inform/educate the reporting party of this rulebreak?" Quote from Player Report Requirements - "reserve player reports for situations that have caused severe loss" "[For players who] purposefully broke a rule" "Reporting another player should be reserved for your final options when a rule breach has occurred. Always try to teach other players in the community" yet this is not enforced by staff creating a toxic win mentality environment!

Problem: The community of eclipse is still very toxic. The most powerful and used tool for these toxic members are forum reports. When you don't win in game, you go for the win on forums. Solution: Have 0 tolerance for it. Punish those who petty forum report players without trying to resolve the problem themselves in game or using a /report. Make sure forum reports are used as a last resort instead of a first resort. Recently, I've seen dozens of petty reports stemming purely from a win at all costs mentality. Most reports go against the forum guidelines stating it has to be a severe loss. Majority of reports from cops are so cringe worthy, it's not even funny. They've lost nothing and yet still report with 0 attempt to resolve it in game. Does that not speak for itself? The sever would be much friendlier place to play if the community looked out for eachother and helped eachother when rules are broken. Your friend drives offroad in a sports car and you don't think twice but a rival does it and suddenly you strive to have them banned. I'd honestly love to link some reports which are horrifically petty but I won't.

Big +1 Let's remind ourselves that when criminals loose they loose hours of their IRL time. Also, we play Eclipse for fun. Everyone drives recklessly (breaking multiple traffic laws). I mean all you gotta do is not yield, go slightly into the wrong lane and speed. Who doesn't do that when no one's around. Helis should only be used to provide further prospective and assistance. Instead of purposefully looking for gang affiliated vehicles to catch them "recklessly" driving as an excuse for ground units to search them. All you've done is ruined that players experience on the server. Note: Helis can be heard but it's not as loud as a cars roaring engine. Also game sounds have heli noises all the time.

This seems like an entirely different server to what EclipseRP is. This would be a huge change, a change for the worse. -1

There is a huge variety of freelance jobs and they're all very simple. Grinding money isn't fun, same with cooking drugs or being a DOC guard with 0 prisoners. But you do it for the reward. Freelance jobs pay higher than gov jobs who start on 4k or 5k per hour. Fishing at $171 per 1.5 minutes is $6.8k an hour and you have freedom of doing it with friends. Yes, pier was ruined ICly by law enforcement and speed cams but now there's roadworker job which is insane!

They are bringing out leases soon so people don't own a gas station for the rest of eternity.

-1 If you want to do one of these faction activities. Join the faction. Or drive a friend around XD Factions like Weazel and DCC create alot more RP than a freelance job will ever be able to do.

I think its bc your ICly cuffed to the stretcher/bed in hospital.

Thanks for the update Osborn! Silence from Devs and Admins is probably the worst thing so it's nice to see.

Last week I got 5hours with $60k+ in fines. This was for a situation which lasted just under 10 minuets from my first interacting with PD. The suggestion for change at DOC has been requested for years apon years. Idk what's the point of trying anymore. Allow for fun criminal RP. Yesturday, my friend tried to smuggle in a knife inside a cake for me. But we're told your not allowed to ROLEPLAY hiding weapons as they physically show. New script doesn't have to be implemented, its honestly in the hands of the SADOC faction leaders and Admins. If they want RP, tell your guards to allow for it and to get rid of their win mentalities. Smuggling RP is OOCly not welcomed. Break out RP is OOCly not welcomed. Prison fights are OOCly not welcomed. Illegal RP you'd see in most prisons are OOCly not welcomed. Fun is basically OOCly not welcomed. Standing still causing you to tab out however is OOCly welcomed...
