[SSRP Suggestion] Default/VIP printer buff 4 years 2 months ago #1192105

Server Name:
SSRP
Suggestion Title:
Default/VIP Printer Buff
How would it benefit the server:
Even the slightest buff would be good for newer players and would encourage them to keep playing. At the moment, the default printers suck, and the only buffs new players really have is the pbu (printer booster upgrade) which costs quite the amount for a new player since they have to obtain an SCU (they cost about 180m)(then 100m to craft the upgrade), printer booster doubler, and Triple Tuesdays/Thursdays. Buffing the default/VIP printers would be great for newer players so they could start making some more money and get encouraged to play more. Another thing that would happen if the printer were buffed would be that there would be more bases! Even the other buffs that help the default/vip printers still suck, the best out of the VIP printers (nuclear) makes $648,168 PER HOUR even when doubled that is really bad, considering a good amount of cash for a newer player is 50m-ish maybe more. If you have VIP and buy every default printer and every VIP printer, you make $2,555,880 when they are all doubled, so if a new player has access to printer boosters, or the upgrade, they still only make 2.5m an hour... meaning they would have to print for 20 hours till they hit that 50m mark, and that might be too much time for a new player and it wouldnt encourage them to keep playing. Now, dont get me wrong, printers are not the only way to make money for newer players, but it would be a helping hand to them to have the default/VIP printers buffed.

As much as i think this would help it also wouldn't IMO. I think Zarp as got such a two sided reputation. By this i mean those who are new join and realize that everyone on the server already has a lot of OP weapons (even things like m202's could be considered OP to new people) and once they realize this is will probably leave. Even if you change the damage output or remove weapons or buff printers they will probably not join back since they wont be aware of these changes. The gmod community is inevitably decreasing so making zarp friendly for new players IMO isn't what will make zarp more popular again, instead its letting players who have already joined the server and think theres no chance of them getting anywhere in the community realize things have changed. That is once they've change obviously.
Hope this actually makes sense, it does in my head.

They most likely would ask around when raided and be told tguns are like 20m, suits 100s of mils and be like "This is 20m? I just based for 3 hours and made 300k! This is a trash server I am going to leave." But if they got more money from basing it could motivate them to play more and actually spend time on the server and have fun grinding towards items. That's my look at it at least

It's about increasing the odds of new players staying, not fixing the economy.

Even on 3x boost days the printers are ass, you can literally triple the print amount and it is still insufficient, definitely in need of a buff.
There is nothing more valuable in a difficult time than buckwheat. Granular gold, food of the gods.

We have already doubled the output of the all base printers (normal and VIP). We will leave them for now and see if we need to change them in any future updates!. Thanks for your suggestion.
