Greetings,
I'm pretty sure a lot of players are already sick of the guard feature we currently have, which has pretty much ruined the whole combat system somehow. I would like to suggest either nerfing the feature even more or completely disabling it for gangsters for the time being. This poll (https://cit.gg/index.php?topic=328923.15) right here clearly shows how annoying the guard feature is. Furthermore, a lot of players suggested its removal countless times but apparently, Brian just doesn't get how this feature has made the game unbalanced, especially in gangster fights. The feature is consistently being abused by a bunch of L9 group losers who can't even imagine fighting without having the advantage of guards. Show content

Here's a video showing how broken the guard feature is, lol. Despite all the nerfing which has been made, it's still extremely irritating.
Here's a few clips recorded by a friend showing how guards have made gangster PvP worse.

Their damage is quite insane and literally, every second kill on the clips is being made by guards. It's nothing else but a disgrace to the combat system.
A good solution to this issue is disabling guards for gangsters and making it accessible to Cops and criminals only, as it was initially implemented for CnR (to balance the number) and I don't quite see a reason for having it for gangsters as it's a whole different competitive side.
I do not know why you are trying to provoke people here. If you think that you are playing well, then you will not lose anything if you remove the guards.
Group lvls and donat has never affected the gameplay, that's why we love this server. After added these guards. It has become simply impossible to play against people with guards, it just annoy and pushes away from pvp content.
I have a lot of friends who don't like LV binds and they played LS until the moment when L8 groups began to actively use and abuse the guards system. As I have already said, it just annoy me up and pushes me away to continue playing here.
What about "L8" is easy to get... Are you serious, man?
Imagine you and your friends went to play on the server and you are simply destroyed by the guys with guards. you are not enough experienced so also players with guards are against you. to get the same privilege (i mean L8), you need to play actively for a whole year and get stress from players with guards.
It's funny to watch how players who have this privilege just joking here and think that this is normal
proof about abuse guards in save zone

i'm just gona post this ,half of your group members approving this suggestion meanwhile if they had the /guard command they would do it :kek3:
you just cant win a war so you come here nerfing what you cant do and what you cant reach to,anywayjust a question what about this lol
Your whole post on this topic is futile and off-topic. Also, I don't consider 2 people a whole group.
Lol. do you even read this topic?
do we also have no rights to use them?
To get a normal guard, I need to travel half the city to find a guard with a normal weapon and come to the war.
When will you guys be able to use / bind z guard. and just click one button to get it
as you can see in the videos that were shown above. At the same time, we can't kill your guard because he is in the save zone. But he can kill me. not bad.

P.S. on video I killed by guard (check kill bar)
Guards should be completely removed from the server, fair and square. That includes CnR as well. So no more /guard and hiring them from streets. Guards are just way too powerful (damage and accuracy wise not to mention MP5's fire rate and of course they sometimes don't die :hands:) and I got some clips to prove it. And also getting L8 takes times a long time but why rewarding that with such an unfair advantage, like seriously as I said before getting L8 takes a long time and you'd think that a group and its members being a part of CIT for so long would be somewhat decent in PvP, right (talking about law, criminals groups)? :cringe:
Here I acquired some clips showcasing how OP and just unfair guards are for those who do not have them, sure it must feel amazing having a bot that deals quite a lot of damage on your opponents. But it's a fucking headache and a demotivator for those who want to get some PvP not some cringe PvP+b action.
Let's go! These aren't some 3 months old clips, in fact all of them have been recorded this month. There's a date at the end of each ones title. You can slow the clips down to see the damage I was getting on bottom right corner.
Clip 1
So this cop saw that I'm wanted and proceeded to arrest me while having a bot but completely failed because of his lack of skills and took off worrying too much or trying to maintain his bad KDR (I'm assuming because a player with good combat skills wouldn't need a guard and wouldn't be fighting like this in a 1v1 :kek5:). I did the thing as him and hired a guard from street and when he saw me with it and proceeded to talk shit about me (check the chatbox at 1:40) as if he wasn't the same coward earlier in the clip. Hypocrite much? He can use bots but I can't? :smudge_cat:

Clip 2
I had hired a guard myself and that's how I decided to bully some cops with it but I had only recorded this poor newbie getting "rekt" by my bot while I was standing still. Sure he didn't have much HP but still you hopefully get the idea. I'll try to remember to do this the next time I play but on a bit more skilled players just to show how OP these bots are.

Clip 3
Basically I was killing a player but his bot managed to remove ~80% of my armor while he was dying, still think guards aren't overpowered? :cringe:

Clip 4
1v1 action with miniguns, I'd have killed him easily there if it wasn't again for his bot which was behind my back shooting me which I didn't know and guess what I got killed by his bot (death log shows MP5 icon not MG). Not to mention the player had 200+ ping which made him receive damage delayed, sure not his fault but still considering how bad sync and hitboxes are in this game guards are nothing but an inconvenience.

Clip 5
Again if weren't for his guard appearing out of nowhere (bind key guard). I'd have stayed alive because I got killed by this player's bot (MP5 icon next to my death while the player was using an AK-47).

Clip 6
Just showing how accurate the guards are, being able to damage me from such a far distance and you can see how the player who hired the guard crouches to get a cover while his bot damages me, sure another player hit me twice with sniper but that doesn't change the fact I got obliterated by his bot (again killed by an MP5). This allows a coward playstyle, start shooting, quickly hide, craft armor and by the time you're done killing his bot (if it dies LOL, they tend to bug too and not die) you'll see its owner popping up with an armor and will still die at the end. And now tell me how is that fair?

95% percent of people supporting this are gangsters.
Just remove the ability for gangsters to hire guards instead of the whole server :tetelaser: :kek4:
For the whole server, that includes CnR too!
here is my opinion about this matter:
1- unbalancing the combat system: nah it doesn't bcz you can create your own guard and "abuse it" as the other guy, so it's completely fair.
2- how this feature is distributed: it's not fair obviously. only a small number of people can use it(L9 or whatever), yes ik you can hire your own guard BUT L9 groups' members can use it anywhere so it's unbalanced.
3- bugs: yes it's totally broken and obviously Arran and other developers cant fix its bugs as you have already shown in your videos. not only your video, there are a lot of videos that can prove how this is broken.
my solution by priority:
1- fix its all problems(bugs) if you can't simply remove it like how you did with a lot of missed features.
2- nerf it or make it distributed fairly for everyone, either by removing that exclusive feature to L9 or make it everyone can spawn it(this would make a huge change to the combat system so I suggest doing the first one).
Or get rid of them completely so our lovely developers don't waste their time on this and can focus on other stuff!
Everyone knows that this server is mainly quantity based unless the side with the quantity are total trash then of course the side with less but higher quality members will succeed. Combat system is bad enough already, some weapons aren't as strong as they should and of course let's not forget the sync and hitboxes here so yeah.
I truly hope this gets finally implemented so there's a true PvP not some parody of it! :tick: :tick: :tick:
