[CSI] I'm somewhat new, but hear me out

Hi,

for starters, thanks for your input.

16 views and not a single yay or nay on any of it? You guys could at least tell me my ideas suck or something.

Only management and developers can reply here, hence the amount of views and replies.

First of all, someone should fix/update the map of properties; buying the same ones all the time gets old. And it's not cool for the people who don't need money (admins and OG's) to keep that information away from the people who do need it (noobs). Just seems like it would make things a little more fair, which is something I've noticed LVP tries to do.

It's not that every admin knows every property. In fact, I started buying more properties again lately and I don't think I even know 1/10 of them all. Next to that, if the map was back, there is no fun in it anymore, there's no so called property-hunt. People would know all of the properties. And, admins can make their own money, but not everyone does so(taking myself as example).

Secondly, I think we should all vote on whether or not molotovs are allowed; that's one of the most awesome weapons in the game (in my opinion at least). Along the same lines as this, I think melee weapons (especially the knife and baseball bat) should be more common than they are, I've found the pool stick in the bar and the chainsaw that everyone can only pick up once (wtf is up with that anyway?), but that's about it except for the lovely flowers you receive upon your departure from jail. It shouldn't be about guns all the time.

Molotovs can be fun indeed, but for our regular gameplay, I think people would be rather annoyed. Lots of people already cry about nading. If they cry about that, I don't think they'd like having fires everywhere.
As for the melee weapons, agreed. There's flowers somewhere in SF too(and maybe more places that I am unaware of), but it's not too much.

Also, jetpacks could make for some awesome air battles, just sayin'. You could have them at the airport with the rest of the shit that flies. There could even be a minigame where everyone's in a jetpack with macs/tecs and can't leave it til there's one person left. Just a thought.

Jetpacks are an absolute nogo for me. It's easy to spot people hacking as it is, but having everyone allowed to use jetpacks would make it a lot harder. Not to mention having 20 000 jetpacks spawned around the cities, as if you leave them normally, they tend to multiply. I give them out sometimes for fun, but imo it should remain something special.
As for the minigame, that'd take ages to get people down. It can already be hard to hit people well whilst running the ground(the people on the ground and you in the air), let alone both parties flying.

And fix the bug that makes it so you can't fly over the ship without your helicopter/plane disappearing and dropping you from the sky.

I believe TEF already made a ticket on Mantis about this. This will be fixed. However, there are more important bugs that need fixing.

1. Pedestrian killing minigame with all weapons and no "friendly fire"
2. Driveby minigame at the driving school, cars don't take damage from crashing
3. Taxi options to Los Santos and San Fierro
4. A one-time "loyalty bonus" (2x pay) for owning a property for over 3 hours
5. Have a scheduled "hack day" every month where hacks are allowed
6. Let there be gunfights (but no nades) indoors

1. Define this a little more please. You want a minigame with every gun in the game(this isn't possible as you can only hold 1 gun of each type, but we could go for the strongest of every type) with teams and no FF?
2. I personally see no point in a driveby minigame.
3. There's both /taxi 8 and /taxi 9. Not to mention that you can 'fly' there from the airports(I do not mean by plane or helicopter, but you can 'fly' there with a menu alike the taxi).
4. This sounds good to me, but 3 hours might be a bit much. We could also make it an achievement!
5. Hell no. We do not allow hacking, at all, at any time.
6. We've just written a handler and all for it, we won't just change it back without a reason. Not to mention that a lot of people find it to be annoying if they can be shot inside the 24/7s etc. Including health loss, that is.

And here's my complaint, which has probably been brought up before: ease up on what we're allowed to say in-game. Seriously, who's playing a game called Grand Theft Auto and hasn't heard/read a cuss word before? TEF told me that "fag" is looked down on because there are openly gay members of the LVP community, which is understandable. But if reading a derogatory word (that may or may not be directed toward you) makes you feel bad about yourself or negatively affects your gameplay, then you're being far too sensitive and you need to chickity-check yourself before you wriggity-wreck yourself. I would have put "*snip*" on the end of that last sentence, but I've seen people get banned for that, which is stupid considering it's part of the game's dialogue script. I'm not saying we should turn the in-game chat into a cesspool of cussing and racial slurs, all I'm saying is that the admins should lighten up a little bit about it.

Grand Theft Auto or not, 'flaming' in the game itself or not, rated 18+ or not, there's a lot of minors. Not to mention we see no point in insulting each other. You can use swearwords, but actual flaming and/or insult is prohibited, and it will remain to be this way.

Other than that, LVP is the best server I've found on SA:MP, and I hope my suggestions get taken into consideration.

Of course.
