TOPIC: SSRP suggestions for the current candidates

The best way to attract new players and keep them is to give them more friendly money making options than just afk printing. It'd also help to include some more rules to make RP possible and more common than it is now.

1) Give police jobs a 50% cut of the wanted bounty on arrested people. It's a small but easy and friendly method for newcomers to make some starting money.

2) With current Garry's Mod mods you can easy implement a job like Bounty Hunter who can go around with a list of current wanted to attempt to capture and escort them to the PD npc for say 85% of their bounty. (I know EMP and Chute hates using anything they didn't code themselves but you gotta get over it)

3) This one everyone has talked about forever and it's raising the sell price of drug planting and planting in general. Branching off into planting say adding more plants to the mix as well as adding a job that can say mix strains of marijuana or anything you grow for a higher price that have different effects that can be sold for a higher price is also an idea.

4) Many people may not like this but make the rule change and have self-supply against the rules. Bottom line is the server sells itself as a semi-serious roleplaying server but the amount of roleplay on the server is literally nonexistent. This is a small change that can bring forward a lot of RP from current players and new players alike.

5) This was talked about with Raeker and has a similar idea to his player upgrade for uranium units etc. Make x2 boost for uranium units, gem-o-matics, loot-o-matics, etc a purchasable upgrade PER unit that way it adds an element of HIGH risk HIGH reward and also includes the risk of losing the significant investment which in turn create a gold sink. This option can also be included for all normal and special printers for an x3 boost at a significant cost (the cost would go up for the upgrade depending on how good the printer is). Both options create a gold sink if people lose their printers after purchasing the per printer upgrade without breaking even.

Further ideas for gold sinks can easily be thought of but these are just things off the top of my head to make it more new player friendly while creating some more things for the server.

I think we should buff the SVU first

I mean this is not related to the post, I just have to say, fuck my life I love your pic <3 Alan Rickman <3 *cough* Snape *cough*

Always

Seems really good! I love the bounty hunter suggestion. It brings a new job and a little more roleplay. Definitley want to see that one

bumping for input

Someone good ideas here which could really be worked on and implemented into the server.

I don't know why self supplying got changed, made actually trying to play gun dealer pointless and you might as well just allowed gangsters to buy the shipments themselves, I'd also like to see changes to jobs like Medic, etc.

I tried to play as a Medic earlier for a bit just to see what I could get to happen, even when I didn't charge anything for my services I got NO roleplay or even gameplay, I sat in a chair waiting for 3 hours for something.

I want to see significant changes to jobs like Medic, etc.

Great ideas! Although I don’t know why I waste my money on a trash bounty hunter addon when I could just make one myself? I’ll put everything but the rule change on my list of possible ideas.

What's the point of gun dealer then if you can just swap and buy them for yourself and swap again? It kind of takes the point out of the job completely.

While I don't understand the point on allowing self supply, I would also deem it really stupid to punish someone for doing it, it's so difficult to police and loophole that there is no point, however I'm sure there could be an implementation that prevents gun dealers from somehow self supplying.

I've seen on other servers where you can't pick up your own shipment/guns when you buy them making it impossible to give yourself guns and to keep guns of your own in your inventory you have to purchase from another.

SoraJS wrote:
If we implemented something like this though, we would not be able to place them into a shop, which would make it difficult for gun dealers wanting to have a shop full of guns.

A long long time ago on the old top 5 ranked RP servers I was a super admin on one of them, the owner coded a system where you can hold c right-click your shipment and turn it into a gun lab that can hold however many guns you want it to as long as you combined the shipments before changing it into a gun lab (you could adjust the price to your liking or just use the current shop system the server has). When someone bought one the money would be stored in the gun lab so the gun dealer would have to claim the money from it (you can just have it go to your wallet instead, he only had to go into the gun lab so the thief job could lockpick it to get the money stored in it as a raid). In the instance of the server we have you can just make the gun labs physgun-able so we can freeze them and have actual shops without getting insta raided every minute.

I would really like to see more roleplay as Gun Dealers, Medics etc. I miss the days where my squeeky ass would sell overpriced shipments on bloc_42 when there was like 20 players on and I will still get customers because self supplying was punishable by death lol.

SoraJS wrote: Oh I'm not saying I'm for Self supply but I'm focusing on actual server changes not rule changes. That will have to be done in the lead team.

Shit please do the gun store RP was so fun with that system and made it so gun dealer was actually profitable while also including RP onto the server. Just have to make it so you can’t pick up your own weapons when you buy them and possibly include other weapon buffs so the variety of standard guns is more than just psg l85 and svd.

He had loads of more stuff on the server that made RP fun I’d just have to go through and remember aspects of it that could translate onto zarp well.
