That guy just had a bind that sent the notice in /b. He formatted it nicely to catch your attention using ~r~ and shit I +1 this. We have many members of our community who would benefit from this, such as @Spextrum

I said it in the LEO thread and I'll say it here. Crim content has been stagnant for years. Crims are bored. There is nothing new to do, and there hasn't been anything new to do for a long long time. The crims who remain actively playing today spend 99% of their time in drug labs, cooking drugs semi-afk until a fight happens. The most recent "criminal" activity that has been brought to ECRP is... Illegal Archeology Look at the active gangs in 2026. Look at their most active activity. It is holding a lab, cooking drugs, waiting for a fight. If the server had more content, more things to do, and more often, people wouldn't resort to the crim alternative to salary farming waiting for PvP. You've witnessed this yourself Lewis. Your crim is level 685 in Chemistry. I can't imagine how many hours of holding a lab that must have taken, but I can tell you if I were in your shoes I'd be itching for a fight. No amount of rules, faction management, or admin meetings can do anything about the fact that the server is bone dry for content. It is up to the developers of ECRP to wake up and realise that without consistent content updates, people will always fall back down to what makes the most money, and what type of gameplay is the most engaging. And that is labs, drugs, and constant PvP.

Adding fleet to SD/PD was a great first start. Next, we need to add inventory management and banish /fl. Regardless of how many rules and regulations we implement, people will and actively ARE using /fl to replenish ammo, armour, etc. Mid-fight. Remove /fl. Use an armoury system. Wouldn't even take new development. Use the prison shop system. Make police have to plan their loadout before they leave the station. Make them buy their guns, their ammo, their armour reserves, lockpicks, all of it at the armoury. Then store those items in the cruiser if they want. Not only does this prevent the bad eggs abusing /fl to their liking, it actually adds an element of gameplay that LEO just don't get to do. Inventory Management. I find it quite fun and interesting to actually have to plan what I want to take with me. Just the same as crims planning their kits before going to a lab for example

Being a cop is just as boring as being a crim is right now. The server has had no new content for crims added for literally years. The majority of our criminal playerbase spend hours in a druglab, semi-afk, cooking drugs. This is barely gameplay. This also barely involves police, unless it turns into a shootout. Without stuff for crims to do, cops get nothing too. So those in PD/SD who can will hunt for things to do, so everyone isn't sat in silence in speed traps. This causes people to be mad at cops for doing things such as patrolling closeby to labs, when really they're just looking for something to do. The biggest thing ECRP can do is implement new things to do. Content that involves everyone, criminals, police, EVERYONE. The majority of criminals have been here for years. We've all done everything there is to do. So now we resort to cooking drugs semi-afk because thats the meta! That's how you make money, that's how you can afford heavies, 100AP, and drugs for fights. That's the criminal cycle nowadays. It is up to the devs to implement new content. And if they don't have the time to develop it, BUY IT. We are moving to FiveM in less than 2 months. If we REALLY don't want to increase the size of our dev team to more than 2 people, utilise the immense amount of developers who have been making FiveM scripts for years. Buy the scripts. It's better than sticking to the content drought we have been in since 2022. TL;DR: No single player is to blame. We are ALL bored. Crims and Cops alike. Bring new shit to do and things will get better. Leave us with the crumbs of half a decade ago and people will resort to PvP and hunting people for something to do.

It's probably been suggested before, so I'll keep it brief. Add a blindfold functionality, either through /blindfold or the context menu. If you blindfold someone their screen goes black. They can still see chat, and all things necessary to roleplay, but cannot see around them and cannot see the GPS or map in the pause menu.

Still a LOT in here that needs to come. Accessing bags without dropping them, furni store fixes, etc, yes pls!!!

+1 - Server needs a bit more modernisation. Phone UI update was a great step in this direction, now lets modernise the elements of GTA we use. Animations are built into the game, lets use them to make ECRP feel like a game that wasn't made 20 years ago

Phone Update *First of all I just wanna say how awesome it's been to see swift and huge improvements to the phone. From a simple suggestion in general chat to an incredible new phone in a matter of a week. Seriously Paulius, thank you! That being said, there's a couple things I think could be added/improved with this phone to take it from great to amazing* Instagram App *Looking at how other modern servers do this, Instagram is yet another social media app, that in my opinion is even more fun to use than Twitter/Bleeter. It's almost identical to Instagram before it become an app full of reels. Players can post photos and videos, both taken in game and external source image URLs. I think it's important to be able to have the ability to use external photo URLs to allow more creativity with player photos. People like to edit, crop, and touch up their photos so they look much better than what is possible with the camera app in game. And while we're adding Instagram, move the Live feature into Insteagram as one merged app. People can go Live on Instagram, which then appears at the top of the page like stories do on Instagram IRL.* TL;DR Add Instagram Allow for posting Photos, Videos, and external image URLS for edited photos Add Livestreaming to Instagram, merging Live & Instagram into one add, livestreaming shown as a story at the top of the page Business/Services App *This app allows player-run businesses such as Food Services to list that they are on duty and their services are available. For example, player is a worker for Pearls Seafood. They clock on, open the services app and click a + button to add themselves to the active services app. They fill in their business name, choose a type of service in a drop down menu with multiple different services (Such as Mechanic Service, Food Service, Law Firm, etc), and toggle if they'd like to include their location on the listing. This then lists their name, business, phone number, and location in the service app under a title of that type of service. So for the Pearls Example, you'd see something like the below* Example: Food Services Pearls Seafood *Harley Pavlovich - [471-4790]* *[Set Waypoint]* TL;DR Add Businesses App for people to list their player-run businesses are open and available Allow players to choose their type of service, and toggle their location on/off Allows for players to quickly see which businesses are currently operating and open, allows for passive businesses like food shops, etc, to be utilised mroe Other Improvements Allow for external Image URL's to be added to phone gallery, so people can share edited photos, etc. Replace location map from 3D map to 2D map (Same one in the pause menu) Add audible ringtones to surrounding players, so they can hear if somebody is getting a phone call, a modern version of the old /ame that used to display using the Gen 1 phone Add ability to use custom ringtones (Perhaps a feature behind a credit payment/VIP) Limited to 30 second audios, can use YouTube links for this

I'd like to suggest something I've seen be super successful in other communities, and I think would really help iron out any issues with upcoming changes The Playtesting Team Currently ECRP relies on trusted members of staff to log onto the dev server to playtest updates. This is definitely an improvement on the past, but the next step would be to open up Playtesting Applications to players, and not limit to just staff. Playtesters must apply through a form, applications should be reviewed by senior staff, just like Staff Applications. The application should include any QA experience, and the players membership within the Playtesting Team relies on them actually testing the updates and leaving feedback/bug reports. Once a player is accepted into the Playtesting team, they recieve a role on Discord that allows them access to: Bug Report Channel Suggestions Channel (For non-bugs but things that could make the update better) Test Discussion Channel for just general chat about the update Scheduled Playtests - For group playtest sessions, mainly useful for updates that require grouped activities, like vehicles for pursuits, etc Changelog - Each patch/update added to the dev server listed here Testing VCs This will only benefit ECRP by giving devs a larger pool of playtesting QA data for upcoming updates. The Playtesting Team should include all sides of the server, including Criminals, LEO, Civilian, etc. to gain the feedback from every demographic for each update. Of course only members of the community who have shown their dedication to the community, are known for constructive criticism, or have built enough trust would be eligble to be accepted into the team, but with very limited access (Except logging into the dev server) the risks are extremely low for ECRP, but the benefits of free QA testing is huge!

Also, UI tends to stack ontop of eachother: e.g

First of all, I wanna say the update to the business UI has been a long time coming and I can say we all appreciate the update! No longer am I squinting with a 4k monitor looking at 2 inches of UI - Great update! There's a few things that I think are an oversight that are missing with the new UIs that are vital for this new UI to be successful. Those are: Purchase Logs Treasury Logs for Owners to monitor treasury activity Manager Permission Handling: When assigning a manager they currently possess all permissions. There needs to be a manager permission handler system to allow for business owners to assign set permissions per manager. Currently a manager of a vehicle dealership can see treasury funds, withdraw treasury funds, change prices of vehicles, etc. The permission options that are needed are: View Treasury Deposit Treasury Withdraw Treasury Edit Pricing Edit Businesss Name Import Stock Maximum Expense Limit Any other permissions that the Gun Store UI allows you to toggle Oversights/bugs: Trucker payments default to the same price as the import of the item. It should default to the minimum payment. (e.g if the cost of the item is $8000, the trucker payment defaults to $8000, it should default to $1000) Anyone else with businesses, if you spot any other issues/oversights please feel free to add to this post. Lets get this update done right!
