also you should probably post this on the discord suggestions @Biggie Bear

Hi, old player SwaVe (DJ SwaVe) who came back from a long break from when I quit in 2019 here. I came back recently cause my friends have been playing and I genuinely have been having a good time with them on the server. I have been viewing the rules and getting adjusted to them as a lot has changed and I'm not used to a lot of them and slowly I'm getting used to all of them. However there is one issue with a rule that keeps getting me and others in trouble constantly. There are a lot of issues with the name on doors rule and it's causing multiple people to get in trouble for nonsense that can be solved and also causing staff to go out of their way to get people in trouble for it cause they're so used to this rule. Rule that I have an issue with: In order to defend a base, you must be on the front doors of the base or inside of the base before raid starts. Reasons why this rule causes so many issues (I've experienced these personally as well). If you lag out, crash, disconnect somehow someway, your props stay but your name instantly gets removed from the door. Admins will view this as "Well you don't own the door so when you reconnect you can't defend the raid." SOLUTION: Tying the door's ownership to the player's SteamID just like how DarkRP's base gamemode prop protection keeps the props in the server for a few minutes to allow the player to reconnect. This could also be fixed by creating a function off of the hook in the code when a player disconnects to view if said player owns a door and instantly assigns said door (alphabetically or whatever way) to another owner own the door instantly. Hobo bases or as they're called -- "free-standing-bases" would be heavily affected by this rule because if a group of hobos are being raided or attacked, no one can defend their base because there is no DOOR to own to defend it? POSSIBLE SOLUTION: Review the server's in-game party rules and raiding rules and possibly think of a way to allow people to defend their party members or simply make a base limit just like like Rust. Another solution that is more challenging and weirdly new for people if implemented would be (thought of by Moderator -- Sewer "Nong danCX") to create an entity that registers base members to the entity such as a flagpole or base claim system that can only hold a certain amount of people. Cause if we allow people to defend purely by party then people could have up to 10 people defending one base which would seem overpowered to some. Garage doors do NOT show names on the garage door. The reason this is such a problem is because there are some base locations that PURELY use a garage door as an entrance. I know this is an easy simple fix to put the text on the garage doors and this can easily be fixed. SOLUTION: Get off your cute asses and put god damn names on the garage doors if we're going to keep this name-on-doors shit, it's causing so many issues (only joking with the vulgar comments). Waterfall bases or other base locations that are completely allowed to the playerbase to base in but don't have doors. This causes so many issues by having a "name on door" defending rule because there is no doors on these bases and the rule "Must be behind dupe in order to defend waterfall base" is probably the dumbest rule I have ever seen to try to fix this issue. You are basically limiting a player to ONLY grinding in their base and not allowing them to leave their base because of a potential raid. You're basically telling a player to sit in their base all day and encourage grinding like a gremlin in their base instead of roaming around doing fun stuff and not being able to defend their base raid if it happens while they're out and about. POSSIBLE SOLUTION: Check the second possible solution listed above as this falls under the same issue. This thread isn't to bitch about things that bother me, just a friendly post to try to view ways we can change things that are constantly causing issues for players and also STAFF. I've never seen staff situations take so long over a rule change. This rule has caused me to sit through 30 minute sits to try to figure out what's going on.

kiss swep - 5 prestige tokens jetpack - 20 prestige tokens idk. just an idea. would be cool.

I've been meaning to make a stink about this. A fairly huge chunk of the bases on the map can be cheesed with this method, some even worse than others depending on which way the door opens.

With gambling disabled you can still: 1) Participate in Lotteries created by mayor. 2) Purchase scratch offs from PD. 3) Access extreme gambler npc. I think these features should be removed for individuals who have chosen to disable gambling such as myself. I appreciate your time reading my thread.

Stupid bug/exploit needs to be patched asap please. You can carry objects through walls with the gravity gun. You might expect a large object getting between your gravgun cause it to lose connection, but it doesn't. This becomes a problem once players start carrying C4/Timebombs around walls. Drop a c4, pickup with gravity gun, wrap it around a door, and walk around the bases walls to destroy the base dupe inside. The people inside the base are completely defenseless against this move, this gives the raider an unfair advantage practically making the base pointless. Many of the bases on the map can be easily raided with this simple exploit such as the corner farm house in suburbs, the yellow house at industrial, and a couple of sewers bases, and more. Please make it so players can shoot the C4 and time bombs out of a players gravity gun, or make it so a wall between the gravity gun causes it to drop what it's holding. This simple solution would create new opportunities for bases to live in without fear of easy exploitation. I made a similar suggestion before, and it had been so long since I had actually based, I assumed it was already patched, then today Terrry raided Nierxi's base this way. The raid started like normal, shooting at them as they dropped C4 in, then he realized he could do the exploit, and all we could do was stand and watch and wait. There are only 3 or 4 bases on the entire map worth living in which are not affected by this exploit.
