The state of the server is getting worse

[Tarone Idrin (mohammed)]

ive been saying it all the time roleplayers get banned while zergs and ppl who raid 24/7 r safeguarded cuz staff is part of their groups

u cant do drunk rp cuz u get banned
u cant do any creative roleplay because they want to be very strict only against roleplayers and not against zergers and 24/7 raiders

You know the majority of higher administration have spent more effort dedicated towards pd right? The majority if not all staff excluding devs are all pd mains/neutral. Even if they do crim its to such a miniscule extent i dont even see the majority of staff anymore on crim. A claim like this is so misinformed you can be in a org without zerging all day however plpd is much more draining and demanding than crim

this is by far the most retarded take i’ve ever read

You see I agree that most of the stuff that has been going on is raids, raids, raids, but at the same time the people that don’t raid always grow, grow, grow. Look at raiding as the counter measure to constant money farming (I am not saying that it is a good thing that the releplaying side is dying out, but it is a necessary evil).

I mentioned some of the problems that I have noticed in the crim rp is shit thread or whatever (top ranter @exrobite) and until they are adressed crim rp will stay the same in my opinion

I think org system should be wiped and deleted remove guns from the server and you wont need the pd as well, live in peace chat with other this server can be turned into a beautiful peacful passive just chatting roleplay server

The original PERP gamemode wasn't really made for Serious RP, more of a semi-serious or even less. It was based on Raiding, Basing and PVP stuff (Cops And Robbers).

So you can't really expect quality RP in a server using a gamemode that wasn't really made for RP (+ most people join gmod to have fun, not to rp their lives inside another game)

With V6, due to the map being (or feeling) bigger, more spread out (don't get me wrong, it's a great map but imo just doesn't feel as fun anymore as v5)
, you don't really have that many interactions with other players as before on V5 (Bazaar was the main spot for interactions between players, but now it's mostly empty, even at high playercounts)

Because 90% of this server's playerbase just join and rot inside their base for hours on end you won't find that many people to have interactions with (even at 128/128, not speaking about morning playercount when the map is EMPTY)


I feel like V5 was the PERFECT map for PERPHeads

drunk rp and it's just driving recklessly and tiering peoples' cars #PassiveRP

This is why I just ignore most shootouts. I find passive RP even if I gotta force it on people when I’m on duty lol

Bring back the old style of Paralake please. Bazaar was so fucking awesome in V5......


In v6 bazaar doesn't really feel like a 'bazaar' anymore, it's more like a shopping mall.

It's literally not comming back. People in community management called this "an eyesore" and complained about people there crafting all day with no risk.
The changes are literally to take people away from bazaar and create more raidable properties

Bazaar was the only place you could have interactions with other people, with the new one it's dead. I miss V5 and it's not even nostalgia at this point, it was a better map for the style this server has.

V6 is a great map, but it just DOESN'T feel like it was made with PERPHeads in mind.
Back when we got the first V6 pictures, at the 10 Year Anniversary, I expected V6 to be an UPGRADED version of V5, still keeping the same style. It turned out to be a whole different story.

V6 just doesnt feel like perpheads yeah, the lighting, the style even though theres alot of improvements in some areas some other areas are just plain wrong. Its very refreshing to see I am not alone in disliking v6 and prefering v5, I respect all the effort put into V6 I watched alot of the dev content but V6 just doesnt feel like V5 and I think thats the root cause of the issues spoke about in this post.

The balance in V6 feels so off, there used to be a good balance between RP - Social - Gameplay but now it just kinda feels like even if I wanted to Socialise nobody hangs out anymore, barely anyone RPs because nobody meets eachother and just has fun, PD is a seperate issue which isnt even worth going into lol

you have these snazzy opinions, but all I ever see you contribrute to the server are blackscreens and f6s

On raid cooldown you walk around insulting sweaters, hoping they say something threatening back, where you can then shoot them, for their lack of rule knowledge. You are a antisocial person

As much as I agree with you, making these threads gains nothing if we don't observe the reality.

Roleplay on the server, even when its decreasing, should primarily stem from the PD and other government jobs. The PD is literally paid by the server through paycheques and confiscations to roleplay. Responding to raids , yes we should do it from time to time, but roleplaying should always come first for them. Right now the PD is becoming combat orientated because of the way the leadership runs it, change the attitude from the top and it will change all the way down.

Encourage foot patrols, encourage PLPD Community events.

Another thing, implement a rewards system from Admins through tokens or some other form that can be given to players and redeemed for rewards. I am telling you 100% if there was a "Rares Shop" or Unique reward for roleplayers who got these tokens, there would be people consistently aiming to roleplay to a high degree.

Right now roleplaying is seen as a waste of time because no one engages with it, so the people who are literally paid by the server through paycheques need to be the ones who are picking up the slack.

I'm a Patrol trainer and I get paid but I don't touch this server at all unless I have to. I only do taser apps and that's about it. I'm not gonna go into detail on why I don't play on here is because my post on this thread will be taking down because I hurt someone's feelings with the truth

2023 bazaar was goated. We had everything back then but we took it for guaranteed. Waypo, Wong family with the spinning fish. Me and @JuJu always had our shop up. Emy as mayor.

 

[northnortheast]

nothing has been different

The PD is like this due to the server itself valuing CSGO gameplay (Look at the insane amount of shit montages as proof) over actual roleplay. PD leadership isn't the issue
