TOPIC: Why SSRP?

We understand that they could base but with all the new starter items they get they can still be raided very easily.

bring back evocity innit

i think aside from map change, just wipe cash, item eco is fine but it sucks for newbies tryna get items when a suit + gluon is like 600m+ and without them you cant defend yourself to make said money, not to mention that when you do get them you'll probably have to replace them pretty soon after, items need to be affordable for newbie budgets or said budgets have to be raised with better money making methods (not 50k for 5 minutes of mind numbing lawnmower simulator for example) bring back 70m juggs and 20m gluons, the money required to buy shit keeps going up but the printers arent being buffed to match so the time required to get your first suit is ever increasing

also a tutorial or a help menu would probably be nice, especially considering the map is now so huge that the chances of running across NPC's and learning that way are lowered by a fair bit, a way for newbies to actually know what to do and how to do it would help a lot

just more shit for newbies, theres enough content for people with money, we dont need more suits that cost multiple billions or weapons that 1 tap the multi billion suits, we need stuff for the people who cant afford those, maybe an achievments system similar to daily tasks where you can earn suits and specials etc, or literally anything, double crafting week once a month or somethin, a new craftable case that contains one of each existing case so you can get those without p2w, im kinda just saying the first ideas that come to my head rn but you get the idea, newbies cant get a footing in the gameplay and thats why its dying

Where would you mark the starting point at then? such as what update would it pick back up from? the introduction of suits, or no suits at all? I feel like to pull this off it would require a ton of community feedback, which should not be a problem, especially with the implementation of the community council, if they even do anything. The type of server you're describing would work 100% as it would be a almost seemingly new feeling, and an old reminiscent feeling for others. just gotta have them (the cm team) put the effort into it.

Start it back when the only explosives were a Milkor, RPG, M202, and Orbital Strike. With prop protection gang upgrades, that was one of the best times for the server in my opinion. Even just a Juggernaut suit would be fine, but things went out of control when after just the ACS, Nano, and Jugg suit in my opinion.

Morgan wrote: Thats how I picture it. Though I would personally want two suits, and for fairness, have the jugg with terrible mobility and extreme sustainability, and the nano with extreme mobility but terrible sustainability. I would also personally leave the hand cannon out of the image and instead reimplement the gauss to its glory days.

Seems like the the thought process to creating an update is, What new weapons that are so OP can we add, instead of what gameplay changes can we make, what themes can we go after,.

Zarp went down hill from the handcannon for me, that was the first way to over powered weapon.

Both angles of the rp need a challenge, basing and raiding, but raiding became to easy due to weapons like the handcannon or people with enough money to not care about losing the weapons.

New jobs/change current jobs as they don't look different from when i first played, add progression through jobs.
add features to the gang system that integrate with normal jobs, progression through a gang gives progression through jobs etc

In my opinion, zarp needs to go backwards a bit to then rebuild up. Less weapons and suits, but more challenges and achievements for basing or raiding, maybe a new form of ingame currency that you can not buy with money

Gunfights last for barely 3 seconds as the person I am facing has a gluon gun or any other op weapon with a suit on top of that while I'm just there with a useless PSG. I definitely think the LT needs to seriously consider adding an SSRP server where everyone starts from scratch and gets rid of the extremely overpowered suits or guns. If people prefer the Star-Wars level of fighting then they should have that on the normal servers while anyone looking for the simple and satisfying SSRP experience can find it in the new server.

This is an idea worth testing and we should simply just let the server stats speak for themselves over the time the Simple SSRP-server is up and running.
