Stalker RP is temporarily "shut" for overhaul

[ISPYUDIE]

Hopefully this will make Traders useful again, as the rich people don't need anything and the poor people can't buy more than a beer or some ammo.

Also, faction wars are just stupid now but I'm not sure how that's to be tackled as  every person who lost wants to blame the other side because they can't take loosing, and the other side gets a bit over-defensive and points  the finger back the other way, a 10 min RP battle becomes an hour of bitching.

Its simply a way to Escape PK for alot of people.

Exactly. I've had experiences with people where they will have a PK auth on their head, and then they go "Oh, throw on a vo-coder, change my name and I'm good"

Edit 1: Also, I'm kind of looking forward to this wipe now. ISPY is right, traders have become useless because everyone is rich. Also, I have yet to be on the server without at least one person in an exosuit on too. Exosuits are too common, nuff said.

[Hotstarr]

I agree we don't need need people who have Exo think they doesn't afraid of anything They are in Exos a more HIGH PRIORITY TARGET

He speaks the truth, I have experienced this my self. Also those voice coders you all have, they just expose you even further. I don't even know where do you asspull those from.

[Genesis]

^ What he said. Also, we've got too many people thinking they are bulletproof. In the games, you can usually take out a Exo with 1 magazine from a AK-74m.

Particularly, we are actually trying to balance the script so it emulates some of things that you guys do in RP, this way, there is no temptation to break the rules.

Most factions agree that they fight once a week, even if they usually can fight more than once a week. With the script and map changes, this will happen naturally, to prevent temptation of a faction fighting another faction far to soon or frequently.

Here is a good one, STM was made to make firefights longer. With the script and SWEP base change, weapons have much more recoil and a little reduced accuracy. This way, players have to take pot shots (shoot, readjust their sight, shoot again). This extends the time that firefights occur. We are accomplishing the same thing STM does, but more naturally, and without players having to make the effort of it happening. It also prevents "sore losers" from switching to STK just to win the fight. 

Everyone is just shitting bricks for no reason, and their assumptions are brought upon by their impression that just the rules are being changed. I can assure you there is script and map changes to counterbalance a change in play style. 

[Ralazo]

Everyone is shitting bricks because they don't want to lose their characters and items.
Neither do I however.

It's natural really, I usually think of my items and characters as achievements, to see it all go down the drain and get removed, that's why everyone is freaking out.

[deluxulous]

There isn't going to be a wipe. Just for factions. At least, that's what I see. And nobody's been telling me.

I really don't think everyone's understanding the wipe.

Over the next week our administration is going to be working on rewriting the rules, gameplay and aspects, we may go as far as a full faction wipe because right now, not faction is "ok".

Faction wipe. Meaning FACTIONS. Unless I'm being too literal here, and Exile meant something other than what he said.

hurf durf

One thing everyone needs to realise is, the game isnt all about the items on your characters, its the passive roleplaying. If you passive roleplay, theres no need to have the best gear. But everyone thinks its just an RPG, get the best stuff, then kill everything around, no passive to be seen.

[RG4ORDR]

But people who passive RP with best equipment will think they can never lose

[Jazer]

That is somewhat of an exaggeration, and most people are using that generalization as ammo in an argument. Read what I said, that is what we are aiming for, logical changes that switch what would usually be done through roleplay, into natural occurrences. Anything else that cannot be done as seamlessly as that is encouraged to be roleplayed. Everyone needs to chill out. Virtually nothing is changing, just how much effort is needed to make something happen.

Remember when blowouts were just an event? See how they are REAL in chernobyl_beta now? No admin had to take their time out to describe what was happening in the event. Nobody had to RP dieing in the blowout, it all just happens naturally. Same result, but it removes the effort of the players making it happen, and stops sore losers from avoiding death.

This philosophy is what is characterizing the overhaul.

hey guys remember when duty was active- Oh ya, that was before nitro took over, see a connection lol

At least you see your items in that way. Other people are crying and whining about how they'd become "defenseless" after this overhaul.

Yeah, because it's sensible to blame everything on just one person.

A fresh start would be good for some people but meh i dont think one for now would be suitable :/  Could be for non-canon characters


EXAMPLE:Ex-monolith i mean seriously ?

[Steel]

Fact is guys, you need to realise this is for the best.
Stop trying to resist it, your not going to win.

[Fibritz]

Steel you have beer for me


Sometimes some trash and good things must be destroyed.. for the greater good
WE CAN AGAIN BEGIN LIFE ON SERVER!
for ressurection my brothers

If there's a wipe, it'll only take a couple weeks for things to start changing back to the way they were, may not be the same but it'll still happen. The Admin Team is gonna need to crack down more on what players are actually doing in the far.. dark.. corner of the map even if they have to temporarily sacrifice roleplay to do so.

This isn't about just weeding out troublemakers/minges/trolls/rule-breakers. This is a complete overhaul for RP PERIOD.

You talk as if we dont know that, as pistol said, its a complete overhaul.

Not me. I'd honestly just be happy with a AK-74m. It's a shame people won't Injury RP realistically unless you shoot a fucking nuke at them.

Agreed. Once you're a Monolith, theres no going back. It's like AIDS, it stays with you forever. Ex-Monolith is terribly un-canon

[RG4ORDR]

Not really Strider and his squad lost connection with monolith

[Goose]

We.Are.Not.In.COP.Time.Line.

[RG4ORDR]

Says the one who character is an Ex-Monolith

[Turkey]

Just so you know, Arguing about shit in this forum, Isn't going to change the fact that the server is in overhaul, And isn't changing the fact that Exile's redoing it..

[Plunger]

Right now factions are the main center of the role-play, meaning we could call it, "Manly Lumberjack RP", and it would be just as relevant as S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Role-play, we need to bring back Loner RP.

Ex-Monoliths we're only in CoP because: Spoilers Below
