Rem

Prison sentence time gives crims a reason not to caught, and shorter prison time would kill prison RP all together. I suggest doing different routes or conducting your criminal activities in a different matter so you don’t get caught instead of make prison time non existent, it exists for a reason.

Currently the lock pick system is latency dependent, at 170 ping which I play on, I have to opt to not use this as part of my roleplay at all which is very limiting to what I can and cannot do. lower ping = better lock picking higher ping = several attempts usually My suggestion would be to instead make lockpicking a skill such as chemistry and robbery, making it so players with high ping are still able to participate in this core part of the server.

Just stumbled upon a archived thread of you saying you give free to play players the privilege of playing on the server because of your donations and then complaining about having to upgrade your 20+ credit vehicles and how you want to refund them now after the HSW update. Seems like you care about your credit vehicle stash and mask it with “I care about the server”. I’ve interacted with you before IC and unfortunately it was you met with you complaining every encounter in /b when things don’t go your way so I find your forum suggestions very contradicting because if you truly cared about the server like you say you do, you wouldn’t only be playing for your own benefit and W mentality. What is the point of donating thousands to this server, saying you care so deeply about it and then your actions prove the exact opposite? Do you want to be alone fishing on the pier with a 20 server pop and your massive credit vehicle collection? Because that is the direction it seems you want to push the server in. What is your motive with these community suggestions that you change opinions on weekly only when it benefits you?

-1 taxi drivers would have less roleplay and gives a IC reason to not get banned from taxi services. if you can’t afford it, don’t pay for it.

+1

first person shooting in vehicles is the only way, recoil or removing automatic weapon fire from vehicles completely doesn’t seem ideal at all.

+1 the server almost encourages you to not create roleplay, and if you do create a lot of roleplay scenarios, be ready for a messy admin panel. Unfortunately it doesn’t matter how loyal you are to the server or how long ago the punishment was made, and with all the petty reports people make due to taking a L on a roleplay server this is just bound to happen. People don’t report to have you be aware of a rulebreak for the most part, they report to get you banned. Especially with how low the pop has been and I assume it will keep following this pattern, bans should be used way more lightly and other punishments should be made more frequently instead. No need to kill the player base to the point of extinction. TLDR the player that doesn’t interact will always have a cleaner admin panel than the one who roams the map creating distinct roleplay with the community.

Seems like you bought a lot of credit vehicles and now that faster, better cars are now available it’s a problem.

+1 Cooking as a solo (unless the server is extremely low pop and even then labs are held most of the time) is fighting an uphill battle. Solo players or players that there gang is not active at a lab should have the choice to cook drugs as a money maker instead of default to house robberies, ATM’s or rob stores. Also with this being said, imagine you are a new player and find out recipes, where to buy drugs, where labs are, only to get run up by multiple players with heavies giving demands. This player should be able to cook by themselves if they choose to, if you are outgunned at a public lab that is one thing but being locked out of a huge part of content on the server because you are alone or in a small group is not ideal for anyone besides the big gangs. Public labs should have some sort of benefit for being held and increase risk for sure, but as of now, it’s definitely an “if you can’t beat them, join them” scenario.

+1 Players can spend thousands of real life dollars on multiple supercars and credit vehicles but the player that doesn’t should be able to obtain these cars with dedication to the server. If someone wants to pay $500 for the best vehicle and skip past all the money making grind that’s one thing, but having it unobtainable to the player that’s invested in the server via time and effort seems incredibly money grab and pay to win. also someone above made a great point, when you have gun stashes and a decent car as a criminal there’s really nothing else to grind for, seems pointless to money make when you have everything you want and at that point it’s look for RP on the map, logout or quit playing all together.

Hello I am Dean King and I have been playing the server on and off for the past 5 years now, Lately as I have been playing this server I have noticed that nobody listens to demands as much as they did a couple years back, people look for a win in any situation even if it is being robbed by stalling, going ooc or straight up not listening to demands whatsoever, everything has become a "save pov" war. additionally, my roleplay is extremely limited, I can't rob in public areas even if someone is talking shit due to "high traction areas" even though the server pop is extremely low and those consequences should be dealt with IC. ECRP has neglected the solo players roleplay of the person trying to create unique and fun moments around the map and favors big faction roleplay that is basically just lab pvp. It is more profitable to AFK at a lab than it is to create diverse roleplay and it is also safer for your admin panel to never try and rob anyone whatsoever outside of labs, this to me is one of the most boring playstyles. at the end of the day what is the point of having all these money/guns/cars if you can't even use them outside of a lab how you want to. In the case someone talks shit you should be able to pull a gun no matter the area and if someone doesn't listen to demands fully you should be able to kill them and everything should be dealt with IC instead of forum war. We as a server have moved backwards instead of forwards and the state of the server is a reflection on that (mostly underneath 100 players). Allowing criminals to play the game how they are meant to without slapping whatever sticks to their admin panel would be a great way to revive some life back in the server and make the game more enjoyable even for the players taking the L by getting robbed or whatever it might be. My question is why the server caters so much to this victim mindset and why there are so many rules in place to protect these players? Are players this protected by rules and forum reports on other RP servers? Criminals are the ones who are supposed to create RP and bring life to the server and right now it feels like they are locked to certain parts of the map for profit and everyone is just doing their own thing.

-1 , in my opinion the slots should stay at a poor rate so it draws people to more community games like poker, tequilala poker brought people together and it was something engaging for everyone to do, now with all the choices in the casino games like this become very rare if not never played and people play solo games such as blackjack, roulette or slots.

Server caters to big factions right now, new players don't have a lot of sense of direction (doing freelance jobs until they eventually quit) and only being able to rob around labs is incredibly boring and limiting RP.
