Title: A day of Direct Democracy
Post by: Arran on 18 10, 2014, 01:40:23 pm
The next news topic was going to be 'Staff Changes' but I'm quite certain that people will bring things up which happened to them months ago, even though the staff team has changed a lot since then, so I'll leave it a bit longer until people have recent bad experiences that they'd like to share.

This topic is going to be a bit like 'Development Changes', but just for today. The player count is high right now so it's an excellent time for some direct democracy. All you have to do is post something like what people posted in the 'Development Changes' topic and then if it's a half decent idea I will hold an ingame vote on it which will allow every player to have an equal say and as long as something gets over 50% of the vote then it can be done.

I'll reply to each post with the voting results and then implement the change immediately if it's a small tweak, or leave it for another day if it takes times to complete. Anything that isn't explained properly, rubbish, never going to happen, etc will be deleted.

It is quite clear that people who voted are stupid. 54% voted for the sale change yet everyone hates the update and seem to think they also have the right to complain when a democratic vote doesn't go their way. Therefore there will be no more democratically voted for changes.

I'd say we should start of with LV, the old RPG system should be back like 2 RPG's every 30 minutes. And the claiming rate while turfing is too slow, should be increased.

Should implement 'halo system'  to cop medics and criminal medics so that they are likely to be seen easily.

Considering in criminal event, it is hard to differentiate which ones are criminals, which ones are medics.

In previous update ( when paramedics were still able to go criminal events, it was easy to identify them due to difference colour name)

(e.g. same as paramedic, you able to get a halo if you reach 1 million heal points.)

F7 auto refresh after a specific time kicking all the AFKers, people leave their VIP/Medkits etc on sale in F7 and go to sleep, specially when they have big amounts because they donated, leaving no chance to the others who are actually being active in the market to sell their stuff at a good price. Which is considered like farming money while sleeping/being AFK.

Adding a course in /shit or /courses called X-ray vision. This allows the person to see the people through walls but instead of those thick and annoying lines make it thinner. and change the color of police medics to 10 255 90.

Removal of satchels as they are only used in a very small distance and the whole "trick" of using them is actually desync (as most of the time you don't get damaged by your own satchels).

CAN PEOPLE PLEASE LEARN TO DESCRIBE THINGS PROPERLY. I HAVE DELETED 5 POSTS FOR EVERY 1 DECENT POST BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE SEEM INCAPABLE OF EXPLAINING IT ENOUGH FOR ME TO CREATE AN ACTUAL QUESTION OUT OF IT.

"I want the old DM rule back" WOW REALLY THAT'S SO SPECIFIC, PLAYERS WILL TOTALLY KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN BY THAT

Well, if satchels are removed then why aren't grenades? LV used to be a place of skill, now all you hear is the constant sound of grenades.

Adding a limit for grenades like the one the RPG had , for example you can only buy 5 grenades in 30 mins. Also same with Molotov. Since LV should be a place for gang wars with guns and etc. not nade spam.

Removal of turrets from criminal events as they only delay the team that played the best from winning and give the losing team the ability to camp behind them and suck kills and damage.

You added a job called "SWAT officer" to LSPD, half of the server liked it, the rest hated it and were disappointed to see what was just implemented.
Since it's a good day to vote, and the whole community is currently voting, we should make a vote:
Remove SWAT officer job from LSPD ?

 When you want to get a low amount of VIP hours, you get like 28 and sell 24 that way you got 4 VIP Hours. Why do all this when a tweak change can make it simpler? I suggest the ability to buy 3+ VIP hours. The question may be : "Make it so you can buy +3 VIP Hours, Y/N".

Decreasing the requeriments to level up as Bus driver in a 60%, since it takes +600 hours to reach L10. By this decrease it'd get to 240-250 hours (Just like all jobs).

Assuming the bugs in it ever get fixed:

Decrease Fire Fighter promotion requirements by about 30%.

Due to the amount of stupid posts being made here (I've had to delete about 10 pages) I think that'll do for today.
