+1, tired of tryna help by giving good suggestions and they get ignored on purpose and nothing positive happens. It just seems as if no one cares, which is causing most experienced players to leave, when these well-loved players leave, it demotivates us as players, resulting in lower server pop. I generally think if we do something like Lucas mentioned above, I believe it will strongly benefit ECRP overall. By having a community suggestions team or even some OOC discord channel where we discuss problems or suggestions and such, staff, devs, and players will get an understanding of what we all want. (COMMUNICATION IS KEY) By allowing players to suggest things they want and getting feedback from majority of the server can definitely take things forwards, we just need people to take action so these suggestions can be implemented and would motivate more people to play more often. Everyone will literally be happy with the changes we discuss, and the changes will be enjoyable, as we all went over what we look foward to seeing, making ECRP more money, increasing server population, and ensuring we all have fun. I have so much valuable criticism to share that would benefit the server, but it just seems as if no one cares, I believe this post should really be considered and taken seriously, as this has a lot of potential to help the server and community. (NO HATE BTW, just saying how a lot of players feel rn )

yea you right g, I could of been a bit more professional with it, shits just annjoying thats all lol

Devs and those in charge please drop your discord below, I'm willing to have a productive conversation with you guys to help make the server better. This is strictly constructive criticism and no slander; I'll discuss different aspects of the server that strongly need improvement to better everyone's experience. This is me genuinely trying to help the community and make ECRP a more fun experience, please don't take this the wrong way, but I believe there can be positive changes done. I have a list of ideas that I think will strongly benefit the server, I hope you all will hear me out.

This is kind of a silly suggestion but sometimes forums do be entertaining, seeing some reports, it makes you wanna react to them so I just thought it would be fun to be able to react to them again.

100% all for what you said about that give what you get back, but tbh if people paid for their own shit, they'd value their assets and chracters more and just wouldn't be absolute units. Like no way you should be fighting a 1v8 cause you have ap and think your invincible, they should at least be able to lose that shit and they'd be more responsible with the guns and gear given to them. The heroic acts are getting out of hand now.

+1 if anything rushing medical rp forces rp more than completing to like it should be done, your getting forced to go to jail because someone rushed rp, rather than dying naturally, while getting rp'd on correctly.

Agreed, heavily for suggestion 1, criminals pay for everything which is why we know not to bring certain things to certain places or events, we value our lives and try not to get caught knowing it will result in jail time and asset loss. Cops on the other hand, have all this gear for free, giving them this mentality of "I must be a hero, or they can't die", this should not be the case. If cops paid for their equipment, they would value their equipment and lives much more and wouldn't run to every situation like rambo. I'm not saying all cops do this, there are cops that play right, and I appreciate you guys, but for those that just act like you can't die, please get a grip, it ruins rp scenarios completely. For example, the cop who took a 1v8 against OTF the other night, near Vespucci and died. Realistically, would you do that, knowing the outcome, which would be you dying? There should be some type of boosted budget like how the person above said, where cops need to use that money to pay for their gear, cause when they die, they will actually value their life and what they lose. Also, I think some type of cooldown should be implemented when a cop dies where they can't go on shift for a certain amount of time after being killed, this will make cops want to play more realistically and tactical, making it more realistic. They will actually be scared to die now and lose their stuff, it will actually make them fear dying and make things risky for them, just like criminals have the risk of going to DOC. By doing this we will see less hero cops and it will make the game more immersive for both criminals and PD/SD. It's a fair risk imo and I think implementing it will greatly affect the server positively, making it more immersive.

ONGGG, aint no way you gettin 40 other units and meta vehicles and weapons cause you cant catch me, grow up

I'm so down, come work legal jobs with me

"As for this argument about not being able to beat PD, you know why? Because you ain't supposed to be fighting the police! If we're armed to the teeth and decked out with all the best shit, why on earth would you even think about fighting us. I know people love the realism angle so if gangs start shooting cops in real life, what happens? They get wiped and jailed for life. On ECRP, you get prison for 4 hours and then you're out." where exactly is it realistic to be decked out with all of the best shit. This is literally our point g, no department has 600k bikes, 400k vehicles to give out to everyone, camaros, no one uses their personal vehicle for work, especially with the chance of it getting easily wrecked or damaged, no one has 100 ap, carbine rifles, fuckin snipers, john wick armory in your trunk. its completely unrealistic, the most you will see unless it is a highly trained unit is a damn firearm and maybe...just maybe a shotgun or smg. I've seen more cops respond to a damn citybee chase than chasing 2 people who just robbed a store. it's just not realistic. Majority of PD doesn't even have the right mindset of a police officer, protect, serve, get home to your family. Not run into a dangerous situation that you obviously wouldn't run into in real life, knowing you would die, thinking "they must go to jail at all costs". It's just not how it works, PD/SD being decked out with all of this unrealistic gear is what makes those who are in PD/SD think that it's okay and it just doesn't promote good rp. I'm not bashing any of those people because they prolly don't even realize it because they have all that gear but change definitely needs to be done. You don't see criminals robbing stores and banks fully armored cause they have to pay for all that shit and can easily lose it. That's how it should somewhat be for PD, not endless care-packages of gear.

FELT THIS SHIT TO MY SOUL, Big +1 You know you had enough of OP PD when you went legal, so you never had to go to jail again. Can't be asked to have 40+ units with 100 ap and sports cars and bikes chasing me, plus a Heli that literally never runs out of fuel. It's to the point where its unrealistic. If you look up the North Hollywood bank robbery, you will see a realistic scenario and the budget that the department had to work with, attempting to stop this threat. You won't see no typa sports bikes, crazy ass armor, or sports cars. Please nerf PD, tbh its not fun interacting with them anymore, its unrealistically overpowered. Also, can we please do something about cops baiting crims and shit. Not even a week ago, there was a cop sitting on sealabs road acting like he was running radar, when he was literally there just to try to hear gunshots to fight. It's to the point where criminals barely get to even rp with each other because once cops get involved, you have to escape because you can't fight them off and completely disregard whatever rp you had going on prior to that. It's completely outta hand.

-1, your not gonna remember people who constantly change their fit and cars every day tbh g

The idea of this was to make a suggestion to repopulate the criminal world with second chances, but I get what you mean

look at all the swipers and trappers with all the nice cars, they definitely do lmao, it happens irl, Idk about pd supers, sports bikes, and sports cars tho

Although some of this is correct, the response is often overkill, this is the reason why people evade before they are even pulled over, to avoid getting chased by 30 other units. It's not fun evading from 40 vehicles with air one either my friend. Just believe there should be some type of nerf to make things more balanced. "PD cannot just patrol around in a high-speed car or bike for no reason." The number of drafters and such I see on the side of the road says otherwise my friend. "do you think it would be realistic for criminals to be stronger than law enforcement?" I don't but, it's not quite realistic to have access to all these sports bikes, performance cars, and such as a police department, taxes don't even cover those expenses. All we are saying is, there should be a set balance that makes traffic stops and evasions fun for both parties, not one sided. Crims passages have been nerfed immensely, while it keeps getting easier and easier for PD to catch crims, it cannot be fun to constantly know you're going to catch someone in a chase due to the accessibility your department has.

That doesn't quite make sense, if you are a criminal, you're going to prepare yourself for success. Not drive a car you can't get out of sticky situations in, the whole point is to not get caught, it's not really a play to win mentality. If your pointing out a play to win mentality, then PD shouldn't be set up to win 90% of rp senarios. Most criminals earn money for these expensive vehicles after a LONG time of grinding to obtain them. I'd say it's fair to drive vehicles with such performance, when most PD vehicles reach 200+ on straights. There's honestly no need for high speed vehicle when you have 30-40 units trying to catch one person, that's just me though.

well said, if we are going off realism, have you guys ever seen a police sports car in your area in real life before? More than likely the answer is no, although it's possible, I don't think any of us ever seen one, or multiple in our lifetimes. I am heavy on getting rid of the police shinobi, I've never been pulled over by a sports bike a day in my life, pretty sure the department near me doesn't have one as well. It's quite overpowering, if you ask me. Most units I've seen at a normal traffic stop was 3, I could see if you were wanted and such and PD has decided to go all out and get everything they got in their arsenal to arrest you, but that's about it. I believe there should be some limit for these traffic stops, there should be a fair number of units that can respond to a traffic stop or chase depending on the level of the situation to make it somewhat fairer. 30 units on a chase is so overkill tbh. Even if we may be going off realism, we must take into account what's fair and enjoyable for other parties. PD obviously has more players than criminals so, all of the high-speed vehicles and buffs are useless in my opinion, gonna be challenging to getaway as is, that is just my take though, big +1.

-1 Honestly, it's perfectly fine in my opinion, when you order a shipment, you are taking a risk of it getting comped. If you aren't willing to take the risk of a drop getting comped by rival gangs, it's best not to put in orders or order more strategically. One thing, I'd absolutely love to see change is other factions asking a faction to put in an order to have a reason to pvp and attempt to get around the backup breach rule to use it as a reason to show up, which has been happening recently. By the time you comp a drop with this new general area idea, you probably won't find it in time. That's just my take though.

Agreed, nearly every time I am in scenario similar to this with PD/SD, it's always ended shortly. As crims, it takes forever to prepare for these scenarios, for situations like this to be ended off quickly because some people put catching the criminal first rather than thinking of the potential rp, (it's pretty damn annoying when this repeatedly happens btw). I haven't got the chance to build suspense and fully bring such a scenario to a decent closure because some players think catching the criminal at all costs without thinking is correct. Opportunities like this don't happen frequently, so at times when it does happen, why can't every party make the best of it? At the end of the day, we are all here for a good experience. Do we really have to go overkill and ruin the enjoyment of a situation, rather than just having fun with it? We must take all parties enjoyment and rp into consideration, if you were a crim, would you have fun spending time to prepare a high-risk scenario that will cost you so much jail time and money? Personally, I wouldn't, all we ask is that when rp'ing with crims, take their side into consideration as well. Think about all the possible outcomes that can be fun for each party and not just shoot, ram, etc to end a scenario, it's not about winning. Now, I am not saying just let criminals get away, but leave room for people to rp and enjoy themselves and not just intentionally doing things to ensure that you catch someone. Keep in mind that PD/SD don't ever lose their gear due to it being a part of their loadout when they are on duty. Criminals don't have that same luxury; we have to grind and prepare for these things just to lose it like this. It feels as if these situations aren't even worth it anymore because majority of the time it ends up with an outcome such as this.

Jorden Sperry I don't even know where to start, I went from a petty thief, to a mechanic at LSC, to a dude who get's pulled over everywhere he goes. It all happened so fast, it's crazy how one talk at the high end market can make such an impact on your life. I remember the day vividly, I woke up, got dressed, grabbed my .50, and went out the door. I took a ride down to the market in hopes of a new car. I didn't find a new car, what I found was a new path. I decided I would walk on that path by joining LSD. I hit up Smoke after our talk at the market and I told him I want to be apart of this crew and I want to grow with this crew. It turns out that same day, I would be changing my cars color to that breath taking orange color. After I changed the color of my car, I met Moda and Smoke, we talked and then they took me to the HQ to meet everyone. Upon arrival, after meeting everyone, I knew that those people I just met were soon to become family. Not too long after my arrival we went racing, I won't lie I was some shit at first, but as time progressed, I got the grasp of the different tracks. After a few days of joining LSD, I knew that I needed to make a good impression, I grabbed my BF400 and began hitting stores with the crew. Just recently, I was called into HQ to meet with Moda and Leo, when I arrived, we walked in the club and walked upstairs. I took a seat, and Leo began telling me how hard I've been working. Leo dropped the bag he was carrying on his back and opened the bag. When I peeped into the bag, I saw a LSD steering wheel with my name on it. From that moment I knew it was only up from there.

I completely understand with what your saying but as to someone who just got scammed it’s it’s pretty frustrating. I get exactly what you mean and tnank you for your response.

Agreed, I was just scammed in a bank. Federal property, with CCTV and everything. In real life no ones getting away with that and I do believe that there should be a rule where you can’t scam on federal property or something like that to ensure that you and the person you are trading with do not have to worry about getting scammed. I’m currently dealing with a scammer right now he scammed me for a GT and what I find a lot is most of these scammers have been doing /do and haven’t been fulfilling their characters actions which are against the rules. You aren’t allowed to lie in /do and a lot of people are getting away with it as well. I’ve been a the bank a lot recently and I’ve been hearing a lot about people getting scammed and i just believe it shouldn’t be allowed. It has created a lot of frustration in the community and I believe it’s unfair that someone can just take someone’s belongings that took them so long to obtain without any consequences. This is just an opinion and please do not take it as disrespect but out of experience I wish that something would be done about scamming or at least a rule not to do it on federal property. thank you.
