TOPIC: Should the suits be removed?

The only reason you make money off this server is because people buy booster packs to get the newest suits and stuff you need to work on a update and you might actually have more players bothering to play if you actually do something instead of removing people's shit they paid lots of money for .

If you take away suits you need to take away a good deal of special weapons. It's not so much that suits are the problem it's more of special weapons are king when it comes to raiding. One player with a gluon or tgun can take out 5+ people within seconds and if you're a new player with a nuclear printer (if you even purchased VIP) you're not going to make enough money to even afford a 7m tgun for a long time unless you waste away your life having zero fun afk mining and even then it'll take you a while. Plus don't even get me started on people with specials raiding the new players the instant their base is put down holy shit. On top of that all once you can even afford it it can get ripped so easily then there goes all your work and you're back at square one.

The problem with the server is the economy, special weapons, and how difficult it is to make money without being given a helping start is too annoying for fresh players to come on and stick. Not to mention the minuscule amount of RP that even happens on the server. Our "SSRP" server is more of a Base Wars server than an RP server. In RP servers it's actually profitable to RP and sell shit it bringing more fun to the server and is more friendly to new players looking to start making money while having fun and enjoying the player interactions in-game.

PS - If you actually do remove suits and some special weapons at least keep the suit models and change them to a player model cosmetic like the red dress shit from the ice case.

Firstly much people bought booster packs for suits!
In my opnion if u have suit on inventory create coins like for jug suit change suits with coins and add coin npc like jug coin hyper coin evo coin for 300m and problems fixed or directly nerf suits

If you're going to talk about removing suits you also need to think about the explosive and special weapons that are in the game because they all go together. Without suits the weapons would be overpowered because theres no suits to give extra health and defensive benefits. But without special weapons suits would be way too overpowered.

My point is that if there is discussion about removing the suits then a lot of things will have to change and zarp will have to work differently. If you removed it all or only kept weapons like the rpg, milkor, and m202 then it would be just like zarp used to be years ago. But we moved away from that for a reason.

So things would have to be changed and implemented to create a new experience but one that will keep players around.

It's a lot more complicated than just removing one part of the server.

To be fair weps worked fine without suits in 2014-2015. Normal weapons was used the majority of times as you'd often find yourself in tight spaces so that explosives would carry the risk of damaging you and your team, rather than your opponents. There's alot more to say about this argument, but experience speak for itself.

It was still being used every now which is good by the way (back then), creating an element or a wider experience in general, in most eyes. Morphine and such would obviously still be in play with the removal of suits.

Either way for your perspective from someone who played back then I can assure you it was not as problematic as you may think without suits. Surely your theory sounds good on paper. Sure, there are more explosives now compared to then also the psg isn't as strong. However as both defenders and attackers will for sure have their hands on some kind of explosives I believe the nature of explosions would ensure enough vollatility, making sure not one side being favored due to their expensive weaponry as fire is being fighted with fire, which creative fair gameplay, compared to now.
