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

So there's no kind of list or way to "snap to" properties in the map editor? I don't know much about how you guys add stuff to the server so I could just be talking bullshit, but it would seem to me that there would be some way of finding them all relatively easily. And as far as it not being fun goes, I can see your point in that. But while scavenger hunts can be fun, making money can be difficult for noobs (at least it was for me when I started out). Buying and being able to find properties would be more efficient than standing on the ship, and would gain them access to spawnweapons, etc. faster, which would in turn make them want to stay on the server. It's a stretched-out line of thought, but I think I've explained it enough lol.

There is a way for admins to do that, of course. But I don't use it as it ruins the fun! I admit I sometimes did, but I try not to!
I believe making money is very very easy, I tried several times to start a new account and make money(unregistered even) and I made several millions in less then an hour. I might add that I didn't buy a single property. I see your point but I think the 'fun to find them' overrules it. But that's just my opinion.

They would be annoying at first, but a fire is easier to spot than a grenade explosion, so it would serve as a kind of "warning" that molotovs are being used in the area, whereas nades just come out of fucking nowhere and piss you off lol.

Yeah ok, but it still remains annoying as well
Not to mention the no-reload bug which comes with the fire.

As far as the melee weapons go, I'd mainly like to see the knife be incorporated into the server outside of the minigame. I'm aware that it's possible to do a one-hit kill with it, but the chances of it happening when everyone's using tecs and sawnoffs all the time isn't as high as one may think. There should be a bat at the baseball stadium, a (pimp)cane in one of the lapdance rooms of all the strip clubs, dildo in the porn store, brass knuckles outside the boxing/martial arts buildings, maybe put a knife in jail and let people fight when there's multiple people in jail together.

All good for me, except for the knife. The knife is bugged, desynchs people if you fail the kill. Happens quite a bit. We sometimes fool around with it and give it out, but not too often. Should remain special too imo.

Maybe you can hide just one on the map somewhere and not tell anyone about it, that way there wouldn't be a million of them all over the city. And as for the minigame, it could be in a small room (like boxing ring sized) so people couldn't run away and it would make them easier to hit. And I hadn't thought about the flying hackers part, that's a good point. So if/when you hide the one jetpack, make it so that you have to have 50 hours on the server to be able to use it. Most hackers are new/unregistered so they wouldn't be able to use it, and it would be easy to tell which of the two people flying was the one hacking.

I guess you don't know this, but, if you leave a jetpack, it sometimes multiplies. So if you go out of it on like the strip, 20 people pick it up, leave it at some point and get it to multiply etc.
Putting it in the boxing ring is VERY small
As for one on the map > if one finds it, everyone will know it very quickly.

That's what I meant, a selection of the best weapons in the game (deagle, sawnoffs, macs, M4, sniper rifle, molotovs, and the chainsaw for example) in a warehouse or similar sized building packed with pedestrians. You could either have a kill quota to meet or a time limit where the peds keep spawning and players kill as many as they possibly can before the time runs out. Everyone enjoys a good massacre every now and then lol.

Sounds like fun, I saw this before on some server, got a pretty good idea for this. They had it in some dock area, was a good place for it imo.

I suggested this because I owned a property for 502 minutes when I sold it and thought to myself "I should get something for that, I bet it doesn't happen often".

That's indeed quite long

True, but a lot of people (like myself) like to run inside when they're about to die, and it's lame to chase someone inside when they're almost dead only to not be able to kill them until they heal up. It protects my ass a lot of the time, but it shouldn't lol.

Not everyone always wants to fight, there's several things done to prevent people from running, but there should be things to be able to get away from fights.

Like I said, the chat shouldn't be a cesspool of bad language. But people shouldn't get kicked for calling someone a fag or for saying the now socially accepted N word with an A on the end instead of an ER. I was trying to explain to TEF that while it's a nice gesture to aim for friendliness, it keeps away some people who get into the game enough to spend hours on at a time.

I don't think anyone would kick right away for it, a mute is a definite fit, but a kick at once, nah.
As for the N word, that may be partially accepted among black people(saying like 'yo wassup my nigga?'), it's also used as racist term. Which is why we chose to not allow it at all. As the reason for saying it isn't always clear. Leaving out that one word shouldn't be too hard I think.

My main point in registering on this forum is to suggest things that might bring in more people from other servers and make them stay. I hate how the only time there's more than 20 people on is when I'm about to go to bed. I'd like to help make LVP more appealing to outsiders than the shitty RP servers they play on, how they prefer that over this as it is is beyond me. It's a genuine concern of mine.

Which is much appreciated.

What times do you play(tell me your timezone in GMT too, so I can check it on servertime)? I rarely see 20 people. I'm guessing you're an American and play at my nights, which are indeed less busy than your nights.

And despite what TEF has said, I'm not a troll, I assure you of that. I've got 170 hours on LVP, I don't come here to cause problems. I just love this server and want to be a part of making it better.

Which is, again, much appreciated. Despite that you may troll at times(no idea if so, but let's say it's so), if you can put in good things here, why not?
