ah ah ah No freedom of speech here pal, this is the CCRPUK, you get what ur given and u BETTER BE GRATEFUL UR NOT BANNED. (oh wait cheeky 1.6 for this hahahaha)
Anyway i think people need to be realistic in how they view this server nowadays unless staff make a active attempt to better the experience just stop worrying about it, atp after 5 years of being in the community its clear that people put in so much effort to try and break the echo chamber and it never works. People will say i'm salty for whatever reason maybe they think its because i'm banned or my character in game got smoked idk. But people have been crying out to help the server if you look through the forums u could find everything you would need to change to re involve the community, whereas they choose to ignore it and let shit like the recent police report on the convoy happen. Let the people who reinforce my ideas stay and get out if you don't agree. Now i'm fully expecting a forum ban here but i at least want to say the truth AGAIN. Staff need to WAKE UP and realize that the server is dying. Yes ok Player numbers may be semi stable but the quality is not even present anymore. 2 gangs exist in pre 2024 state, Ballas / Cutlass (maybe occult idk what they get up to) this is dire every gang is full of people who don't play. Now the staff gangs are fine Lost probably have a great experience rn and police are still having fun, But this is where the echo chamber comes in they don't see the reality of the player bases experience i think now 2 staff are in gangs maybe 1, they dont even play with the main player base anymore (Lost/firm doesn't count you can spawn in as many mats as you want obviously you will have fun with shit like 20k head armors and 100k revs).
This happened on Arma in the exact same way and i'm going to call it they will handle it the same way (nothing added until its too late and people don't care anymore). This videos is a relic but sums it up perfectly (
) a 2 YEAR OLD video about the issues you have rn, There's no change, i stopped playing in early 2021 and returned late 2022 and i still knew how to do everything like i had not stopped playing. I reckon now if i still had only come back early 24 i would have only not known how to do banks, everything else wouldn't have changed. ARE WE SURPRISED PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO PLAY, its like playing fifa 20 up until now, its outdated, the formula has been improved elsewhere. People need to realize that the server can be fixed in many ways the drug system is 5 characters away from being able to be used again (not kidding its a broken bc of one value). Crim update is finished bar some tweaks they just don't want to release it, it was first that we weren't behaving now whats the excuse there is no one to play the update so we cba releasing it. Before people reply to this by saying oh why aren't u a dev then, ill happily do the dev work if they want me to but i shouldn't have to. The devs are more than capable but they are forced to make everything run super fast instead of the scripts being good, they are forced to prioritize latency in scripts rather than intricacy and depth, or are themselves too focused on wanting the server to have vr chat elements, eg focus on only changing configs not actually making scripts, Forcing every script to be unique is also slowing dev time down dramatically why not use some paid scripts with all that donor money, Or is it the Spagetti code that the server is built on which means everyone's games to run like ultra settings Cyberpunk.
I think that the player base is also to blame like lets be fr some people who claim to be RP Gods just want to frag *ahem*, which fair enough i like to ego people on occasion but still the player base is to blame in part for the state of the server, people have found the most fun way to play and a playing that way with no change making it seem like everything is shit and nothing is going on. Which in part is due to the lack of content, i bet money that people would be less likely to want to play the server for shooting and want to have fun stories if they had methods to create these stories but they don't. Now fragging is not a RPUK issue is a fivem thing you cant get rid of it however you can have things in place to remove the whole server becoming a place where these people congregate. Staff need to make a ACTIVE effort to improve the whole servers experience, and this will be hard which is why it hasn't already happened. Now credit where credit is due some staff are trying to help the issues like Archie did in the past or Sammy now but these both have there own issues but tried to help but staff are sometimes sucked up into defending friends or people they like but thats human. However we know for a fact staff have targeted gangs in the past and what has this done, Kill Aztecas, make cutlass basically the next faction and kill vagos, mara, grove, changa, padrinos, coa and the many other gangs just abandoned yes some of these still play but they are no where near their former glory. Staff try to help and realize its a lost cause or they can't single handily fix it themselves and give up. Now not gonna bait anyone out but I've been told this first hand and can tell how mind numbing it must be to try and work against the flow this server is in. Also the anti cheat is COOKED many people cheat and haven't been caught and some of us know its a surprising amount of people, invest in a Paid Anticheat that catches more than just spawning items in, so these videos cant be made anymore (
) even tho they are quite funny.
As soon as people see what can be achieved with actual change they might realize how refreshing it is. but let it be known CONTENT IS NEED FOR THIS SERVER TO LAST ANY LONGER. I feel like we are waiting for Gta 6 to release so we can blame it for killing the server, bit like Arma was old so the server died, but this was just false the OTHER arma server only shut down last year (u know the one i am on about, some people came from there to here) so we cannot say that was the issue as other servers still run. Its a issue with how the server is ran but as long as people reinforce this current behavior it will never change and people like Hugo will start to see it, you cannot pretend a problem isn't there. Even the most loyal Bootlickers cannot pretend the server hasn't got worse, we have all seen it, its IF they decided to address it.
We will see if i get banned from this (Probably) but hey its the truth of the matter and many have said it before me its not some great epiphany i've just had.
