  1. Im going to continue to strongly advocate for a road map or some sort of communication. Im sure the devs dont do everything for free, and at the end of the day I do not believe they would be crucified for missing a deadline, people just would like to know that things are coming or how things are coming along and if it wasnt set in stone that would be fine too, people would continue playing just as they did before. I completely understand they have lives outside of this game and that for some it is a passion project but its disheartening to play and see nothing change both in the meta, and overall. I raise these questions to heighten the experience of the server not bash on devs. Other servers do have a system where they either reply to most suggestions that have any popularity, A passed or denied section, or simply reply some of the time. I want to continue to feel good about the server im playing both in its current state and looking forward. Its hard to do when there is little info coming out.
  2. again somewhat agreeable, but I still dont see why radio silence on development is a good thing. not salty about like my ideas not making it in. Read my posts, that isnt my point. Just would like to see whats going on if anything because it doesnt appear to be and there is little to no communication which is almost never a good thing. and lets be honest if you are a crim, a civilian or a cop... the servers felt the same for a bit and the changes are just more commands for some scripted jobs, the addition of a few more drop/sell points for jobs and bug fixes. Oh and corners job. for months.
  3. Sure, not every detail needs to be in a dev blog, blog post or known coming change. Something would be nice though. The only changes i have heard about is DOJ and Casino. other than that theres nothing coming from the dev team. There are plenty of things they could share that likley would not be used to metagame as there not always actionable information. on top of that, its announced that we are adding DOJ, we elect a justice, then silence... until... its released? I see devs of other servers live stream them adding textures or vehicles, that surely could be used as metagame, but nobody really cares because thats a small small portion of the work that they do. Theres so much they do that we would like to hear about that cant be meta'd. Also... Just not replying to very positively supported forum posts clearly is not a good way to do it as there is zero communication as to it being possible, impossible, in the works, on the shelf for now ect... so we have a suggestion page on the forum and we are just supposed to guess what gets implemented? even if it has a massive outcry of support we cant get a simple "were working on it." If you replied to some and not others people would not instantly assume its denied they would accept that a dev hasnt seen it yet or that it wouldnt have enough support yet. Seems like advocating literal silence just isnt the way. Playing for months on end and little discussion of major changes. theres either MASSIVE updates coming... or there really isnt and we just arent talking about it.
  4. Again, Sure I could understand that. However no replies on the forum post, and very very very very few changes. could they at least say "hey were considering this in the future! we will update you if we take a second look" or "no way we could do this, Legit not possible with the engine" or "we are going to begin working on this!" instead nothing is said. No major changes in a while, every single serious post with serious support includes the pros, the cons, awareness of possible imbalances, current imbalances and consideration that these changes take a considerable amount of time and effort. Often mentioning how much they are willing to pay or donate to see these changes implemented. Sometimes other servers have some of these suggested changes, some of them are minor quality of life changes that could be so simple like changing fuel consumption. Im just not buying that the dev team is so busy adding minor bug fixes for 6-9 months that they cant consider a larger project, or even reply to it. Someones previous comments about how OSRS does it is correct IMO. If not community polled changes, which would be the definition of giving the people what they want, at least some more transparency or a more fleshed out dev blog of whats coming so people can feel like they are being heard or get excited about upcoming changes.
  5. not that Jason speaks for entire staff or anything of the sort but really could one or more people who are directly responsible for content creation on the server look at this? or any of the posts with massive support over 6 months on the forums? why do they never get looked at? why do they never become implemented? will they ever or we at a stand still? is there a labor shortage? it would be nice to have anything other than radio silence. I even see some mods/admins going out of their way to suggest clearly positive changes that would have a good lasting impact on the roleplay and even those are largely ignored.
  6. read the post its about changes not being implemented that have significant support over months and months and anyone criticizing is smited or silenced. Banks was an example of the poor state of the RP and how it could be fixed. 600k divided by minimum 6-7 guys is 100k... if you get out with all of it which is hard when the police can basically do any and everything and do. Helicopters supers 26 cruisers, storm the bank automatic weapons body armor. again people said they had too much power nothing changed. And it is very apparent that they have too much power please watch any police offer stream ECRP on duty you will see. on top of that its just the suggestions falling on deaf ears. We want improved RP in prisons, implemented changes for free lance or scripted faction jobs and so on... and if you read the forums you can see they get a ton of support and never go anywhere.
  7. Thats true sure still there are serious improvements small and large that could and should be made that are not. Not saying this as i want to bring up the development teams failures I just want to play in a city where we are heard and any changes are implemented. We make posts saying we want better prison RP with detailed explanation, support from other admins, nothing. Similar for minor police nerfs for realism, still nothing. More jobs? not that either. how about quality of life like improving the motorcycles gas tanks so they are useable? still no. every topic i mentioned has one or more forum posts with multiple pages of support and replies some are 6+ months old still receiving support and not a word from an admin or anyone... on anything. Even if you commented, "we cant do this at this time but good idea" or something it would be more valid. The progress does appear to be stopped and thats very unfortunate.
  8. sure that is the case. even if you make 65k you are limited to one a week, and theres a good chance you dont get away with the money due to the PDs insane numbers and unlimited tools. In order to improve the situation, either nerf PD, or loosen restrictions on criminal activity, Or buff the cash from some lower level criminal activities. And to reply to the potential archiving of the post, the discussion was not bashing staff, just asking to address the issues we see and that many others see and have asked about in the past only to be banned for mentioning it.
  9. somewhat understandable, but i also hear PD say theyre bored and pull people over for no reason because they are bored. Police do consistently MG particularly illegal firearms we really need a holster system or concealed carry, two things that were suggest forum posts months ago with significant support that went no where, with no reply. Doing other forms of low level criminal crime legit makes no money. if you did the math you would make more driving the bus. Even if i had a gang of 2 rob 5 stores simultaneously they still make max 13k total. divided by 10 people.
  10. Again you either blast out, Take hostages or attempt a stealth, all of which either dont pay hardly at all, have insane penalties or even if you have hostages ive still had PD think they're superman and storm the bank with no RP regarding hostage life. Most other criminal activity pays like less than a free lance job unless you are in an offical faction of 35 people with import power, even then you wont be getting a ton of money from it unless you are at the top
  11. Regardless, There are larger issues to address. Many many times people have had valid criticism and in a constructive manner addressed it and were banned or silenced. furthermore if you play the server you can feel the issues. Theres a hundred posts adressing issues similar to the root of the problem with the current meta of RP in relation to PD/Criminals like this and a thousand more. Still a lot of valid complaints being swept under the rug and a lot of criticism not being addressed or resolved. A ton of great forum posts with incredible ideas some small some large and very minimal progress, most of them are left on the chopping block.
  12. still gotta do 10 hours in prison with basically nothing to do. even the DOC workers months ago were begging for script jobs inside or even no script jobs but more areas/commisary to do something. Go to prison for 5-10 hrs, use your stamps to buy pickaxe, Mine, Get robbed or fight and lose the pickaxe even if you live, then you have no stamps and no pic so you have to rob someone else and thats all there is. fight too much you go on lockdown or solitary.
  13. Could not agree more, I have seen others great posts in all categories especially legal/freelance jobs get passed over, even basic ones like fishing. I myself made a very long, thought out post about how to improve the RP inside prison as it currently is near non existent with no bashing of anyone and addressing any potential problems that would arise from the new additions as well as referencing old posts on how to improve it from admins like Kat and it was deleted. no explanation, just was a considerable amount of work. The Police are very very very measurably over powered and have insane numbers, the gangs roll 20+ deep which is fine i guess but in other places that is restricted to a much lower number and the people in this place are less concerned with RP and having fun then they are with making money and killing others. Multiple other people with a following have made these issues known only to be banned for criticizing.
  14. +1!!! Prison Jobs,(both RPly and scriptly) Luxury items in the stamps shop, and more ways to earn stamps! the rp inside the prison system needs to be fleshed out. I would love to have a character permanently in prison and RP prison, even prison gangs, befriending guards and so on but currently the only things to do is fight and rob people. Even if you mine for more stamps, if you are there for 30+ minutes you will probably get jumped or fight and if you go down, even if revived you will lose your pickaxe. The only way to get another pickaxe is to rob someone and so the cycle continues. Even as a crim you can feel that the guards have little power, they either lock everyone in cells which isnt very fun or put them in solitary which is actually super boring and non rp (not that its their fault) there just needs to be something else here!
