TOPIC: MAKE ZARP GREAT AGAIN

MAKE ZARP GREAT AGAIN 4 years 9 months ago #1126357

The "Darkrp" Zarp server or as i like to call it "TradingRP" or "Shop Owner RP" is quite evidently dying and something needs to be done to revive it, The reason the community died is because of all the stupidly over powered suits and over powered weapons. I've been playing zarp on and off since 2014, when i use to hop on back in 2015 you'd walk around the map and there would be bases scattered about the map people ACTUALLY placing props it was a community that was thriving but is now on its downfall.... nowadays you spawn in see about 10 floating shop tills and an empty map. You might want to argue that suits and weapons were added because of how overpowered the bases from Brotherhood, AoH, Harpers or whatever gang, but this was only being done with the one prop, the big container which easily could of been removed.

The suits and weapons have made the community overall unwelcoming to new players because they're base will just get teared through in seconds and then iron man flies through the door and just 1 shots you all

in whole what i'm suggesting is that Server 2 or 3 is taken and everything is rest and all the shite that got added past the blueprint cases (or just the stupidly overpowered stuff) is removed and given its own forum section in hopes to revive the community that we all came to love, after all what have you got to lose from doing this? im sure your total 14 averaging players between s2 and s3 won't mind.

I'd love to hear what each of you think of this and no i don't think this will get anywhere but just putting my last bit of hope i have for this community in before it kills itself off. <3

I don't know about that, I don't personally enjoy suits especially suit combat I think is dreadful but I'm pretty sure other people do like it and I'm not sure how the server would keep people interested without it.

I totally agree with you, but this isnt the first suggestion about bringing the "old" zarp back, i dont really think the CO's want to change the current SSRP system

vanilla server is already in progress by aspect but replacing s2 and s3 would be a great idea ( sad to see s3 go) but new stuf needs to be added every 2 weeks in order to make it entertaining

It had over 50 people yesterday but I do agree it's not as popular as it used to be and I would love to base on S1 like the old days but sadly they're gone :(

These threads are made every week or so, honestly. It's either in the form of a suggestion, or someone leaving and saying "I'm not coming back until 2015 ZARP is brought back", or sommit like that.
Your concerns are reasonable, and I realise that from people consistently making these suggestions, there's obviously the notion that people just want something different than what this server currently is. And it would be nice to get bigger numbers of players.
There are a few issues with a "reset" or a "rollback", but I don't think any of those issues really affect the idea of it just being one server that's changed into a rollback one. Anyway, we'll see how we go. Maybe Chute, Dead, EMP, Clarky, etc. will give it a chance.

That's because you're seeing it from your point of view and not Chute's or Dead's, making a "vanilla" style server that's wiped is a risk because nobody truly knows if it will do as good as it used to as it would feel stale to many of the community that are used to current Zarp and could potentially split the community.

and as well in your opinion what could they do to keep the server relevant if suits and all the specials aren't a thing?

At the minute, the server with the least amount of regular users is probably server 2. It used to be an AFK mining server primarily, and now it's got 2 or 3 players whenever I check it. Server 3 sometimes has a respectable amount of players just for the ele bases, tbh. But yeah, I'd imagine if they rolled back server 2, they'd probably have to consider changing the map - because I do recall some complaints about the map being too big. Though, I suppose someone's made the same complaint about server 3.

Anyway, I'd be willing to try this if they ever were to institute it.

@Narexa, I'd feel like maybe if they were to do a rollback, they could just roll back to 2015 - but remove certain items that are known for making basing specifically difficult. Like the handcannon is still one of the biggest damage dealers to bases. They wouldn't necessarily have to remove it entirely, more just nerf it. If they wanted to go the extra mile, they could fast forward to Easter 2016 with the Golden Egg which had GPPs, Gauss Rifles, Minigun 2.0 (maybe this could be nerfed a bit too because this is still an incredibly powerful weapon that can be holstered right away).

Taking a slight risk, they could possibly allow for the first power suit to be part of the community, which was the Jugg. That'd be the mid-2016 update which was the first GenCorp update. That's really up to them, though.

@Narexa That could take it in another direction where it isn't fucking all the new players that want to base,i can't give you a good answer for that, hence why i'm not a community manager or whatever the fuck the role is

If it doesn't do well then they can change it back, like i said s2, s3 only averaged 7 players in the past month for each. Also yes this could split the community but "vanilla" is more inviting to new players and could grow the community

People don't understand its really not that easy. What happens to all the security patches that we have done, remember when you used to base and the server would legit die Chute put countless hours into fixing the lag and doing a "reverting" would not even work. People would do the old exploits and the economy would be ruined. If you want a wiped server you are going to have to wait until we fix up the things that were giving so much money in the first place or it is just going to happen again

Unfortunately, that won't work. He would have to have access to code that only CO's are allowed meaning that we are the only people that would be able to make it

Appreciated. But that's not what I meant.
I understand that there were a lot of glitches back then, but I'm not saying literally restore that old point - I'm saying just take away the items that existed from a certain point onwards.

That said, I probably could have been more clear. Thanks for the response, Dead. I trust that any update you come out with will be decent.
