SirQubed Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) There should be a training server for all these new players so they actually understand how /me and /do and /b work. To many times as a medic I try to do medical RP and they don't get it and then I have spend half the time explaining how it works which kinda ruins the RP experience. This should happen post test and before they get into the real server. Also they need to have a better understanding of a NCZ Edited March 30, 2020 by ImQub3dttv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanro Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 100% agree. With the new influx of players, I am seeing less and less RP (or will to RP for that matter) from new players. +1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moment Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Yes, i do agree the new player system needs fixing and some additional tests. +1 Edited March 30, 2020 by PhenomenalX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandroXiX Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Harder UCP and more stricted to pass, some tutorials or free to play training server. Why harder UCP application? Because the players who pass it will more appreciate while playing on server and be aware not to break any rules so they won't get banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaesarSeizure Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 The quiz needs to have some practical testing with realistic scenarios, to let people try the commands they are being asked about. Currently, you just have to explain what is a /me or what is a /do. Personally, i answered the questions from the handbook/rulebook, but it took a few live encounters to actually understand what they mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirQubed Posted March 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 The problem with just having a quiz is people cheating and messaging people for the answer's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WobblierDog15 Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 +1. There should be a harder\stricter quiz or there should be a mandatory practice server before new players get access to the real one. In recent weeks, with the influx of new players, the roleplay quality of the server has been dropping and rulebreaks have started to get much more common.

NotMattch Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 +1 I'm honestly not even sure what the point of the quiz is anymore. In an hour i'll usually come across 2 or 3 new players that are up to like 1000xp and still have absolutely no idea how /me or /do works, most of the time they completely ignore /b as well making any form of RP impossible. Forcing RP onto them isn't teaching them anything at all and they'll just come to expect it, or more than likely not even realise it was forced. Standing around waiting for a /report to be answered wastes everyones time and puts even more strain the staff involved who could be dealing with more important stuff or actually playing the game themselves. Either some form of training server like suggested or a much harder quiz thats enforced a lot more to improve the quality would be super beneficial. Not sure how the /goodrp /badrp system works on the backend but maybe just something similar where you can quickly mark an ID as a non-rper that can be tracked by staff to weed out the worst offenders quickly? Either way, something definately needs to be done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaquan Smith Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 They don't need anything like that, the only thing that they need is to not copy their application from someone else. If someone applies alone he must know how to roleplay at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaquan Smith Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Harder application is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WobblierDog15 Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Just now, Jaquan Smith said: the only thing that they need is to not copy their application from someone else. I disagree. There is no way to enforce how applicants get there answers. Some copy and paste from the rulebook. We can't expect applicants to just "not copy from someone else".

WestAus Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 G'day All, Whilst not a newbie to RP, I am to GTA, and naturally Eclipse (first post). thought I'd share my thoughts. I have a friend here I used to RP with, why I'm choosing Eclipse, however I've been away from it for a few years (life) plus all my previous RP has been done on A3, so it will take me sometime to get used to all the keybindings, commands, emotes, scripts, etc, Like learning to drive a car, reading a manual and doing a multiple choice quiz test, doesn't turn us into drivers, getting out on the road, making mistakes does. However when those mistakes impact on others, it can cause road rage, in the case of a small community like this, like living in a small country town, frustrations build like a volcano. A second server operating with the same scripts would be ideal, time spent learning, making mistakes with others similar, hopefully/eventually be observed as a great role player, be promoted to the main server, like things used to be. Failing that... mistakes will be frustrating for both of us, I can only hope for your patience and understanding (rather than bullets). As per some of the comments above, I've also noticed a downgrade in the quality of RP, IMO there's a few reasons for it; Since the increase to server pop (not because of it), it seems most majors have dumped their 2nd/public servers (training grounds) that were feeding the whitelisted servers for quality. Those that do get access (sometimes only via donation), are either newbies to RP with only the knowledge they have from watching streamers (not all are a good examples), or, they have some RP experience, but retraining their brain/fingers (distracted) to a somewhat different coding environment (all servers have different coders, mods, content etc). Either way, their all going to be interacting, perhaps frustrating RP, with people/characters that have experience/knowledge with that particular server. Only one way I can think to fix it, bring back the training grounds, bump them up when they prove themselves. Finally; I've been going through all the rules, guides etc, on the "Roleplay Guide", got down to the "Criminal Roleplay" section, where it has a link to "Commands List", great! I'll print that out and stick it on the wall next to my monitor for reference, however, unfortunately its a "Dead Link". Wonder how long its been like that without someone reporting it. Looking forward to some fun (hopefully not frustrating) RP with you all. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
