I have already suggested couple of great suggestions that might be helpful but you guys didn't even care to read them.

I'll keep this as short as i can...

1: We need to balance CNR and TDM make a system that fits both, to encourage more users to play.
2: We really need to have more legal jobs to do, with a reward that's actually worth something. Trying to play without getting wanted is impossible if your goal is money.
3: The official factions need updates to fit modern Ls-rcr
4: Fix the bugs... we still have some reported ones still not fixed.
5: Rework the donation store

(note: I have drawn out ideas/suggestions/plans for all of this, and would happily share if staff care to ask)

I've said this before, and I believe this post here is a great start... but find a way to get more opinions from the community. I understand why staff are secretive, but hire 1-3 supporters to work with who you can discuss the changes you want to make with, and have them give feedback on how they feel it would affect the community. I truly believe that if staff had this before V10, and gotten some community based viewpoints, V10 wouldn't have been so controversial, given staff had listened of course.

Suggestions to look into:

6: remove system about groups let other players to be member in all and it's up to leader/staff accept or reject the applicant

7: re added command for VIP rank in groups

8: Remove new screen when join

That's it and thanks!

I have no idea on how to please the old players, but I have been ranting about the new players' experience. I'm just gonna quote what Nyut and I said on Cover's suggestion.

2. Add weapons packages at ammu-nation that can be purchased for less money (i.e: Sawn-offs/Tec-09/Sniper/Deagle package that costs 2,000$ of money).

I agree. It is miserable playing as a newcomer. You can't defense yourself against a full equipped LEOs even after you rob 5 shops, it won't be enough to buy a couple guns and shocks. It doesn't matter wether the newcomer can win or not, what matters is they know, that if they play enough they might get a chance to fight back. They die knowing that they can shoot back, not dying hopelessly. As a recently accepted army, I've seen so many newcomers leave after being killed once, the ones that can figure out they can shoot back stayed for some time but they still left after another deaths.

Maybe cheap weapons/packets (more expensive than bm) could be made for people who can't enter blackmarket yet. And for old players, man up and buy your shit from bm lol.

I really agree with this. Titit got a point and it shows how LSRCR is not really newbie-friendly since you didn't spawn with any weapon ever since V10 was implemented. I've seen new players joins, tried the server, spawn as criminal skill, rob stores, and then got completely decimated by LEO players. Hence most new players just left and didn't bother to come back. The Ammunation suggestion is really good, since as Titit said it gave new players a chance to actually fight back as criminals.

As for the Ammunation suggestion, as a reference, BM sells a complete pack of Deagle, Tec-9, M4, and Sniper for $1200, added with sawnoff for $300 (correct me if im wrong), it adds up to $1500 for weapon and they gave A TON of ammos. Realistically, we do not want this in Ammunation. Instead, give the same price range ($1500) for the complete set, BUT reduce the ammo count down (ex. Tec-9 in BM gives around 1900 ammo, so we want the ammunation one to sell for around 700 ammo or so).

Just for an addition, Reduce BM requirements level so people can have something to look forward to (cheaper price for more ammos, BM items etc). Reduce it to somewhere between 200-500 score needed for entrance to BM. As for the items, we can limit the items sold with a score requirement (ex. Cop Bat requires 850 or more score to be unlocked).

As for the other suggestions by Cover, Its all good apart from the ATM in LV one. Main focus should still be in LS in my opinion.

[Nex]

bring back old system money

[saeeddi]

Adding items which players can use money on.
Old con artist payouts 1500$-1900 per shop robbed
New ways to earn legal money with decent payouts
Donation items prices should be reworked
Bringing back bm items in /dweap
Players should spawn with atleast a pistol.
Lsa checkpoint

Accessing weapons:

I think it has been stated for many times that there must be some change to make weapons more accessible. I however do not see bringing LSA checkpoint or the old bounty hunter style interesting. My suggestion here is to assign this ' free gear up ' feature to weapon dealers, but under some light job task that would provide content for users as-well.

Weapon dealers will have to perform an illegal weapons transport ( From army's desert base to any LS ammunation)- Reward : 2 score - 1 weapon dealer score - 500$.

This will grant them access to a certain amount of free and full weapon sets from ammunations until they've consumed all of them, their weapon dealer level would play a role in how many times they can use this free gear up option, let's say:

from 1 to 99 --> 10 re-fills
from 100 to 499 --> 15 re-fills
500 and higher --> 20 re-fills

Adjusting the server's name:

I've had a thought about this so why not share it here as-well. There are many Roleplay servers out there and I think we can agree that Lsrcr is far from functioning the same way they do. We however have the word 'Roleplay' mentioned explicitly in our server's name which gives certain expectations to newcomers. I suspect this for being a reason that pushes new players away as it's frustrating when you expect players to drive by speed limit rules but then you find players car-surfing instead. (Just one example)

Gangs system:

I suggest having gangs skin options within civilian class. Players can pick one gang to represent each week, there'll be turfs around LS and gangs have to capture them to get a 25% robbery buff if they happen to rob a shop within their captured territory. This resets every week and players within the leading gang should get 1 gang score, there should be a top 25 for this as-well to know who has been doing a great job.

[Ginger]

simple answer it is mostly will agree on this point they loved the old lsrcr because it was fun its a game you don't have to make everything logical removing things like car surfing, sawn offs etc so mostly prefer old system completely old system nothing new nothing old.

!

Warning - long post ahead! I have compiled what in my opinion needs to be tweaked, updated or removed.

!

General stuff

• Decrease the money loss upon death to 25% instead of 50%
• All civilians spawn with colt 45 as a starter weapon
• Add Blackmarket items to /dwep but blackmarket items prices should be lowered a bit
• Add weapon packets at Ammunation for a decent price
  - Packet 1 has Sniper rifle, Uzi, shotgun and AK47
  - Packet 2 has Desert Eagle, Tec-9, sawn off and m4
  - Packet 3 has MP5, combat shotgun and country rifle
• Reduce the weapon prices in general

Criminals

• Rob more money during night time 22:00 - 04:00 in-game time
• Money bags are dropped instead of disappearing upon player death / leaving the server
• The higher the rob skill, the lower chance you get caught on the police radio (let's say 50%)
• Tweak the wanted system
  - Robbing small business like a tattoo, barber, bar or pizza shops etc = increase wanted level by 2
  - Drug dealing - increase wanted level by 2
  - Raping or robbing a player - increase wanted level by 3
  - Robbing a casino or a betting shop - increase wanted level by 4
  - Robbing a bank - increase wanted level by 5
  - Murder - increase wanted level by 6

Law Enforcement

• The higher police rank = the more weapons you spawn with (still can obtain other weapons from the checkpoint outside)
• /taze should be removed and the tazer should be the silenced pistol (aim and shoot)
• Increase the amount of paychecks to all Law Enforcements depending on the police rank and even get double pay on Sunday in-game time
• S.W.A.T & Army vehicles should have more HP than any regular vehicles however, certain commands like fixing tyres etc should be removed.

Classes - Legal money

• Mechanic
  - Able to tune other players vehicles
  - Able to scrap cars for a fixed amount of money depending on the car rarity / how badly is it damaged
  - Able to tow vehicles from impound or car dealers for free
• Bistro
  - Make this class useful and expand the bistro to the pizza boy missions - Add checkpoints at player houses around Los Santos and deliver pizzas
• Medic
  - Just like Bistro, Medic is pretty much useless these days with everyone having drugs or injections. Keep it as it is however, add checkpoints at player houses around Los Santos and drive patients (NPCs) to the nearest Hospital
• Taxi Driver & Pagati
  - Nothing much to be added AFAIK

Skills

• Rapist - Nothing to be added
• Drug Dealer - Keep it as it is but add the ability to deliver drugs to drug houses aswell just like Pagati with the exception to get wanted level (let's say 50%) when delivering the drugs
• Weapon Dealer - Nothing to be added
• Hitman - Remove the 50 score requirement (that way we can introduce hitman to new players aswell) and should spawn with pistols, combat shotgun and m4
• Private Medic - Should be removed completely IMO as it is useless. If not, keep it as it is
• Bounty Hunter - Nothing to be added
• Con Artist - Nothing to be added
• Kidnapper - Nothing to be added
• Private Lawyer - Nothing to be added but remove the ability for cops to release prisoners
• Salesman - Keep it as it is but add the ability to sell items to various 24/7 spots around San Andreas. Add vans like the Benson to use while delivering items.
