Ayooo

Goodluck !

+1 I think only official gangs should be allowed do it and the "graffiti" (images) has to be sent to FM and approved in order for us to be able to do it. Would be nice to put a gang logo in our area. To stop it from being abused only let up to 3 images be used as graffiti and every member can only have 1 of each image somewhere sprayed in the city. If i spray image 1 in the hood and then try spray image 1 again in paleto then the one in the hood disappears.

+1 This is actually a good idea. Like the hints could be "word on the street..." 1) "drop is in the city" 2) "drop is in sandy" 3) "drop is up north/paleto" OR "on the north/east/south/west part of the map" I don't like the idea that they can see when the weight drops and then get 15+ people to go check them all rolling the dice that one of them cracks and with enough people checking it will always crack 95% of the time. It also doesn't make sense that a dealer loyal to a gang gives up this info for free.

I WANT THIS !!! +1 Labs would be SOOOO active if this was a thing!

+1 i would like to see faster cooking times than the current 200 secs (preferably 30-40 secs) + FREE materials because i dont think many people will risk bringing materials to labs if im being honest. Since the static labs were boosted i havent really seen an increase of people at labs and i feel if you want a big increase in people at labs (player interaction) it needs to be boosted a lot. Labs are high risk and its hard for normal people to go there without being robbed/killed within first 20 mins so reward should be very high and worth fighting for.

+1 One of the most overdue updates ever.

+1 They are basically cheats. They give players advantage over others by installing software to their computer. And with pd/sd knowing this they intentionally install it to use it to their advantage. You can never have a good big fight with a rival gang anywhere on the map whether it be chilliad or garbage without pd/sd showing up stealing your loot!

+1 Everybody but hackers and Mass DMers should be brought back. I have 3 DM punishments and was banned twice. First ban lasted 4 weeks (DM #2) and after 2 weeks back into the server I got banned for 2nd time which lasted 6 weeks (DM #3). I was allowed back into the server for the 2nd time around 7-8 months ago and have learned my lesson and I feel like i contribute positively to the server. So if i can be giving 2 chances to come back after few weeks off, then people that are not as lucky as me to be given a chance after spending multiple months away from the server should also be given leniancy. How low does the player count have to go before people realise its not just the lack of updates but how harsh the punishments are. I couldnt even estimate how many players are banned its probably that high. I heard player count use to be 600+ at peak times. When i joined 12 months ago it was around 400 at peak times and now the player count is on average 250 at peak times. A year from now it will probably be around 150 and I dont even think these updates will make it go up. We are never going to be a high tier roleplaying server. The server is so strict and anytime you wont to do some crim shit you cant because your always thinking of "am i allowed do this?". So many ooc guidelines restricting us from having fun.

Theres probably 1-2 factions at max that is still "going around" at this time including LSD because they race all the time and have something to do. All the other factions have disbanded or are dying/dead ever since this update came out. What ever happened to multiple gangs being 20+ deep? Clearly we are not going in the right direction. The city has no gangs left. Its built for legals. All these updates are just crim nerfs. Havent seen a single change that benefited a crim yet. Clearly this "roundtable" of people deciding on what to implement are majority LEOs and have never spent any time on a criminal character. I wouldnt expect you to understand what every criminal is going through right now.

+1 theres no need to spam. Just a waste of time.

+1 would be a nice thing to have

Change is good, however ATMs and the ability to rob gun stores & clothing stores was definetely not a good replacement for banks, atleast not for the bigger gangs that is. On average Shenzhen would do a bank a day with a average cut of approximately 20k-25k per person typically cut between 10-15 people which isnt even enough in surviving the criminal day to day lifestyle - mors/impound fees, prison/jail/camera fines, equipment/.50s lost daily due to fights or cops. And thats not even involving the heavy weapons/body armor lost. ATM packs after laundered give an average of approx 1.5k. In order to make up for the bank cuts we would get, we would have to do 14-17 ATMs EACH everyday. I would say its only possible to do approx 15 an hour and that is without any disruptions from police and finding an ATM that is actually opened asap. Ive tried ATMs and i typically have to evade from police every 3-5 ATMs which will lead to me spending more time evading then actually doing them. This is just a long and grindy process to merely survive day-to-day crim life. Dont get me wrong they are fun to do but its just not a good replacement for banks. I feel like if static labs go back to the way they use to be (also with lsd lab re-opening) it would be the best possible move made for the server in terms of criminals and people will actually log in to play because yesterday a 36 person gang who use to be 18-22 deep at peak times not too long ago had 0 people on yesterday during peak hours after i logged in and seen i was the only member online. This is obviously due to the update (banks/cooking changes) and obviously a lot of gangs disbanding, leaving us with very little to do. The sooner it happends the better.

+1 also if your knocked out you cannot VOIP or use IC text to talk.

Do you have a timeframe of when this will be introduced? And will it be like it use to be?

+1 That update has demotivated our entire gang and probably a lot of other gangs. Banks and cooking did not need a change. .50 takes more skill than any other pistols, costs more and weighs more in terms of ordering and therefore should do most damage.
