Title: Minimap Blips
Post by: SheedaOx on June 24, 2017, 06:55:25 pm: Imagine no Mini-map blips (Only for players). Wouldn't it be more realistic and fun?. This some time happens somebody is making meth and a cop shows up in his/her radar and he dumps his vehicle and escape in a Maverick.
In my case im the one making meth :cowboy: and it would be challenging for me on who might show up without knowing it via minimap which makes the game more interesting and fun to play. It would also be good for ambushes same as irl. If this no minmap blips thing works, in my opinion it would be great.

What do you guys think? Is it possible? Can this happen?

About this, this topic has been posted several times, as a result it wasn't added, neither will as Gandalf said by his own words.

According to this paper written 24 years B.C. and before glasses were invented, that would be unwise and absurd.

Ye ofc, 10/10 argument. Why would a player joining a RP server stick around in a server that has no blips? It's not like the top English RP servers have no blips. Come on guys, get real.

You are talking about servers that have average 150players+, we don't have that.

But at the same time new players who join and are actually willing to roleplay quit instantly when they see blips because they assume it's a DM server.

Post by: Pizza4_Games on June 24, 2017, 11:35:26 pm: Removing blips doesn't make this a heavy role play server, the problem is the server's playercount, and if we just remove these blips, it could have damage on the activity/playerbase.

I understand people want blips removed due to Police and Gvardia dothunting people and blaming them for crappy role play, but shit. Make a rule against dothunting I guess.

Argonath has gone south and is smaller now, removing blips or public chat will just result in boringness for new players, even having them lost in the server. Best if things stay the same way in terms of blips.

Post by: Bruce. on June 25, 2017, 01:17:15 am: stop using the fucking new players excuse....its fucking disgusting. We do have blips because the inactive as fuck owner wants blips. If he doesnt give a fuck why would any new player want to join argonath anyway.
inb4 he is paying for the server. Yes we all know he is, but he is taking 0 care about it.

lol like tht one guy who hasn't played here a single day in his life but got banned just for having unexpected in his name.

Post by: Hidduh on June 25, 2017, 12:53:35 pm: It's funny how people defend blips with the 'newbie excuse' when there aren't any, or they leave after a minute or so because there is absolutely nothing for them to do.

Unfortunately it's far beyond gone and even if it was possible to remove blips on this server, it wouldn't increase the quality of roleplay anyway since people's mindset is fucked up.

Probably some hacker who used to put his nose in a shootout so his friends can win and he's still able to browse forums. Shit logic isnt it?

He profits more than he pays, just for your information. Else he wouldn't keep this running.

How does he actually profit out of a samp server?
Title: Re: Minimap Blips
Post by: Jeremy. on June 25, 2017, 01:13:26 pm: The fact you didnt understand is this wont happen.. like ever. Because our precious and so loved community owner aka gendelf said himself tha he tried removing blips on MTA:SA server along with his friends umm like ten years ago and guess what, IT DIDNT WORK WELL.

He doesn't know what's actually going on with the server and apparently he doesnt give a fuck about it. If he would actually spend some time in-game with an UC account he would realise that removal of blips would only bring benefits. Using silly excuses like "new players" is already ridiculous. There is like 1 player out of 100 who might be interested in playing around, rest are hackers and banevaders lol.

He actually does not profit from the samp server, but from the bullshit here in forums.

More bullshit means more page views, more page views means lower CTR, lower CTR means greater CPC, greater CPC means better income.
