• Other minor QOL improvements to the sit panel (staff)
• Fixed a bug that prevented Santa from being selected when using a legacy reforger
• Added support for custom reload animations for mastersword reskins (useful for models that do not use VM_ACT_RELOAD)
• Make zombies roam around for a bit after spawning to reduce the chance that they get stuck on each other
• Fixed a rare issue where a new player could receive more than one beginner lootbox
• Fixed a rare lua error with gang quests
• Fixed players being unable to use a legacy reforger if they had disabled the "legacy job popup" in the help menu
   
• without these bug updates and quality of life the sever would fall I understand what your saying but I would love for rubik to do what he enjoys best it’s him doing this whole sever I would love to see big updates every so often but I have been off and on this sever for 4 years it’s the only sever I have ever played I enjoy it the way it is but would love to see updates that are interesting

Letting something that has been worked on by multiple people over a decade fail due to your passion not aligning with what people want isnt a thing most people would appreciate.

I think it's common sense to agree on this, it stinks when a game you love has updates you don't agree with. How else is content going to improve? However, I believe it's a fair balance of taking in critique and keeping to the original plot of the server. Creating content with a passion is all I'm asking, which should also be common sense. I'd personally play content pushed out created with love then something created to appeal masses (pet boxes I'm looking at you).

Like where's the 2025 memes? Maxwell went hard, server needs like Tralalero Tralalala or a fight where a buncha players fight 1 gorilla. That would fix it. (sarcasm pls don't downvote)

When players ask for "content" they arent asking for singular items that only serve 1 purpose and dont exist for anything else. The issue most people have is that any new content added only interacts with itself, unlike most jobs/ content of the past where they would interact with 3 other jobs and 5 other systems already in the server. Yes this takes more time to implement but it makes the server feel rounded and like everything in it actually has purpose as opposed to just being random gmod store/ addon content that got tossed haphazardly into a server(which is the issue people have with 90% of darkrp server.) Imagine if trash man was able to dump trash into dumpsters, which would make them respawn faster/ have better drops, then have a health stat for the server that goes down when theres too much trash and it makes covid more common. Small simple overlap between features like this would make a lot more people interact with them in depth, instead of playing them only when a battlepass asks them.

propose new content instead of just asking for it

[Jake Skylynx]

too many replies (some of which once again are so idiotic and wish to excuse very ridiculous server issues simply because they don’t want to appear “mean” or “unfair” to the wholesome super administrators, some of you gave good replies though) for me to reply to in full. in closing my opinion is not that i oppose fixing bugs or changelogs fixing things. my point is that the battlepass seasonal style updates are not good, they are rushed and forced updates that add hardly anything of substance. my argument is not that the devs do not do literally anything (they do, but it’s only bug fixes and bad battlepass style updates. they MANAGE the server… not introduce new things). the previous content updates primarily spearheaded by sugar were superior. players such as myself are not “burned out because you play your decked out custom class” or whatever (i actually play a wide variety of jobs including cp which i think is long overdue for some new updates).

 

asking me the question “what ideas or content do you want then?” please refer to the suggestion regarding trash man for example. the server content updates shouldn’t be gimmicky schlock like do your battlepass task of process 1 million dollars in trash cubes or something in order to get your new recipe for novelty tool that i will never use. i promise you the core population of players on the server who join who are not habitual discord or forums users such as those who have replied have ever completed one battlepass. they enjoy roleplay (meaning playing cop, playing dumb jobs, building things, shooting people, social interaction, etc). they don’t really have any strong opinion on the battlepass either, they join to mess around. even those on the server who “base” i imagine are not really super excited to do a battlepass. it’s a chore more than anything. i also see that some of you (roughly more than half according to the current poll status)  for whatever reason believe that these current updates are good. you are wrong. I think some you would be satisfied with just about any update even if it was literal dogshit if you are of that opinion (because you are effectively bovine cattle).
 

also, the idea that we cannot get good updates because it will lag the server or something I also refuse to accept. we can get as many new custom class items as pay piggys pay commission rubik to add that have all sorts of sparkly effects that make it so I can’t even spawn my base due to the model limit or whatever but we cannot get a cool update. all my points still stand. as is always, quality over quantity. less CONTENT updates but with more depth to them (nobody denies that we need bug fixes) spaced out rather than forced seasonal battlepasses would be a good start. as mentioned previously by someone a boss fight style event with the goons or something of the sort is far more interesting than any of the new battlepasses.

 

edit: another issue is this. what is the point of me or others writing new ideas for the server developers (that is their job, by the way)? what would happen? oh right it would be almost totally ignored because it requires more than 20 minutes of effort, or take literal years to be released likely half-assed like the gang update (disappointing lackluster update we waited years for). these “be the change you want to see” platitudes are an excuse. for example at release gang members couldn’t even use the gang bank (key feature) after rubik said he couldn’t code officers to have access to it. now only co-owners can use the bank (since rubik can’t code this) not even officers. the co-owner “solution” for gangs was not even an idea from rubik but by players. get over yourselves. look at the absolute state of the server. find someone to help you super administrators, be honest with us and stop blowing smoke up our asses. lets see when you finally make it so you can click on your ui to join an event rather than type it in the chat. overdue change ETA: next year maybe.
 

thank you
