Some of the most fun I’ve ever had on the server involves cops almost always, being chased, hiding from them, being in shoot-outs with them. The reason being that there is consequence, the fear of spending time in jail/prison is what makes these interactions intense and exciting. Crims and cops need each other to exist to function, this is why when either one is heavily outnumbered (daytime cop heavy, night time crim heavy) shit doesn't work and it's way less fun to play, alot of crims won't do shit or log on in the day because too many cops, and A LOT of cops complain at night because the safety of numbers is gone and they don't like getting shot at most nights when they feel they don't stand a chance. I think the biggest problem is just that everyone wants to win, or at least the majority of the server has that mindset, myself included most of the time. Harley touched on something important too, the player count itself effects things much more than you think. People log on to have fun, not sit in a speed trap hoping there will be no crime for hours, or sat in doc for 3 hours because you dared leave a drug lab in the day time. Another issue is the fact we don't have NPC's, If a cop is bored and they see the first car they've seen in 5/10 mins they are going to pull a u turn or whatever they need to do to go check your plate, check if they can see a .50 clipping through the driver seat or find any reason they can to interact with you, and you can't blame them, there is barely anything else for them to do, no one else to interact with sometimes, and they logged on to play the game not watch youtube shorts sat in a speed trap. If there was another 200 people driving around the server then the people that log on every day would fall into the background, but 1 gang is often 20% of the server pop so you're going to get alot more attention from LEOs than you used to. Over recent years I’ve stopped giving grief to LEOs as I started realising the above, as well as playing some LEO myself. Both sides are just bored. That's it. Cops need to chillax a little, some care way too much, and crims need to stop crying and start being a little smarter. PD shouldn't HAVE to charge stack, let the arresting officer drop some smaller charges if they RP well/don't stall/did something that made the interaction fun. there is ZERO incentive for a crim to go above and beyond the bare minimum in terms of RP standards especially when they're already frustrated. There are way too many problems to discuss on a forum post, and allowing anyone and everyone to come complain about their very specific issues is not going to help. If you want to actually make change, you need a discussion with devs + a few high up LEOs that are staff + a couple notable crims who have been on the server for many years. maybe do that discord space thing where everyone can listen i can't remember what it's called. Because the lack of communication and mistrust between staff/devs and criminal players is crazy. mb for the spam, I’m no good at conveying my thoughts over text.

+1

huh? i made the suggestion for that exact reason, the fights aren't fun, that's the issue.

the problem is the passengers and the fact there is no recoil with autos

Currently you can driveby in 3rd person, with a 360 view with 0 recoil with automatic guns. This is extremely unfun to deal with no matter if you're the one doing it, or the one on the receiving end, essentially because there it is too easy. I'm suprised it's taken this long to fully catch on by the majority of the server, but now it's at a point where every crim has a driveby at all times, and most fights are extremely boring. Everyone should need to be in 1st person to driveby, also add some recoil while you're at it, make it rewarding at least. We need to change alot of shit up tbh but let's start here.

don't agree with private labs, but do agree with Requiem's suggestion. I voiced something similar recently, place an NPC somewhere where you can pay x amount of money to open a lab of your choice, the more tables the lab has the more money it will cost, for an hour then it closes again. Just have the hp of the tables go down over time until they break, that way if people came across one that they didn't open, they'd know how long it has left.

big +1 Iv'e recently started streaming on the server, and having to have a cover over my radio freq on the right at all times is bad enough, also whenever I change my bind, the new binds shows at the top of my screen. having to change my scene to hide my whole screen whenever I change freq is kind of annoying. I understand that dev work is better spent on other things rn, but if it's easy to impliment and doesn't take much time, I'd apprecaite it a lot!

haha no

just literally forum design: @britbritxo

no one buy car or bike or even boat

development is needed in 100 other areas before looking at buffing tazers i reckon

i will refrain from interacting with this man, thank you soldier.

bro, have you seen the RP from the average crim? MOST LEO's that have 1 year+ under their belt have decent enough RP for this server that lets be honest. actual roleplay on this server has been on a decline forver and to think it can try and impove in that aspect going forward as the player base declines is a pipedream. IMO all we can do is patch up the major issues, stop expecting A++ RP from LEO's and factions with all the ooc trash they have to do to simply exist, let them play and enjoy what time we have left, which can be a decent amount of time. I'm not all doom and gloom, I think there is plently of fun times ahead. But we need development assistance or we can continue to rot and cry about the same shit everyone has been crying about for years now.
