Hello beloved Argonathians!
Today is the day where we change gameplay of Argonath's SA:MP server quite abit. For the past few months the management team has been having daily meetings and discussions about the server's state and after all the agreements and disagreements, we are here to present the changes and improvements.
Before we go into the big game-changers, here's a list of the small changes done to make the game a little more enjoyable or to fix the issues.
- Quality of life changes (implemented few weeks ago)
Simplified a few longer commands, the following is how you use them.
/microphone - /mic
/reply - /re
/switchweapon - /sw
/gunpoint - /aim - /gp
/attachfarmtrailer - /aft
/paytoll(opentoll) - /pt - /ot
/weaponequip - /we
- Changes within the current official groups
SAPD:
*New payroll system. Official SAPD members get paid based on their activity and effort within SAPD. (implemented few months ago)
*Official SAPD members get automatically equipped with a Desert Eagle, Shotgun, SMG and an armour after going on-duty.
*SAPD members with special permissions are now able to hide their /area during operations. (Also applies for FBI)
Most of the changes within SAPD also apply to FBI.
SAFD:
*SAFD is now a fully active group again with a new leadership. (HQ will be leading it until we find a suitable leader.)
*Official SAFD members are now able to use EMS skins and have access to the /heal command.
*Raised the payments per mission.
More updates to come within SAFD after the new leadership has been chosen.
- MISC
*Added /siren for ~15 more vehicles
*People that have level 10 notoriety can now go to jail.
*Fixed minor issues around several scripts.
*Added the ability to remove your notoriety at the LSPD
*Added the ability to purchase custom mapping (Houses, objects at your current property, containers, RP blockades, etc. for all players.
- THE GAMECHANGERS!
After hundreds of discussions with the management team, we've finally decided that it's time to change the game once and for all. It's time to stop (or reduce) the amount of deathmatching festivals with your friends (which usually end up in friends reporting eachother) and "enemies." WE'VE IMPLEMENTED THE NEW WEAPON PRICES!
Reasons for raising the weapon prices:
1) Realism - As of until now, 90% of our online players were heavily armed at all times due to the ridiculously low weapon prices. Nobody cared for their weapons and losing the $400ARD desert eagle was no biggie. We had a large amount of rich players buying RPG's and shootin them in the air for no reason on Pershing Square, giving the newer players a cozy deathmatching server vibe.
A new player that joins the server is granted with $5000ARD. $5000ARD before this update granted you a Desert Eagle with around 3000 bullets. We as the management saw this as a massive problem and it was one of the reasons why we started thinking about the new weapon prices.
Before this update, getting heavily armed was more than easy, there was little to no effort needed to aquire those special items.
2) Economy - The economy system that was implemented at the start of RS5 is completely ruined, with alot of spawned money and so on. The idea of this is to have a yet another money sink (besides the custom mapping system) which gives back to players, in this case it's weapons, which are considered as exclusive items. Players will now have to actually work for their weaponry, since it's not that cheap anymore.
The new weapon prices can be seen in the ammunations and black markets!
These changes will for sure help us fix the economy by atleast a little bit and lower the amount of deathmatching within the server.
- NEW (NOT SO FINISHED) DRUG SYSTEM!
We were hoping to finish this script and announce it with the new recognized/official groups, but ran into quite a few big problems. The system is being worked on as I am writing this, but UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE, THE DRUG MARKET IS ONLY ACCESSABLE FOR RECOGNIZED AND OFFICIAL CRIMINAL GROUPS.
And now... The topic you probably scrolled down to first before reading any of the things I wrote. THE NEW RECOGNIZED AND OFFICIAL GROUPS!
I personally wish to congratulate all of the groups that have made it this far, this is not a rank you just get by doing nothing. All of you have earned this by showing initiative, activity and setting a role-play standard for the other players to see. Well deserved!
New RECOGNIZED groups (alphabetical order):
- Corleone
- Gvardia
- Sforza
New RECOGNIZED businesses (alphabetical order):
- Easy Taxi Co.
- Shady Inc.
New OFFICIAL groups (alphabetical order):
- Angels of Death M.C (AoD)
Again, well deserved everyone! The HQ is very proud of the input and effort these groups have put in and we hope to see you continue the good work, to make Argonath a great place to spend time on!
From now on the HQ will review all the groups on a monthly basis and promoting/demoting groups will happen monthly.
WE WISH YOU ALL A GREAT 2018!
SA:MP HQ

@Bengt What was the motivation behind improving the weaponry cops receive uppon going on duty as criminals are no longer heavily equipped now due to weapon prices? No criticism, just wondering.
-
Very very nice!
Now i hope we get fighting style buyable in Gym :D

I was thinking same, like over again...too much focus on SAPD now its getting very overbalanced. They already earn good and now payroll.
Im negative, but i think that part was not needed for SAPD. Otherwise weapon craft should be back
-

Oh please don't start this over and over again. You got so many ways to make money, have you ever wondered the profit from drugs and shit? Yeah go ahead and do that...

I do agree with you Hevar, you can even call that my own personal mistake. However we have new ideas and more to come soon to fix everything step by step. These small updates were just the beginning. Constructive criticism is always good.

The addition to weaponry within the SAPD was added quite a while ago, the first part of the message was mere to remind of the changes we brought, for those who had not noticed them yet. The weapon prices are the most recent update, added today. We're still tweaking this but what we did today is a start at heading in the right direction.

Congratulations, well deserved AoD!

HAHA nooo, but its always focus on SAPD or FBI, like cmon /siren on 15 vehicles? is this Disco RPG? We need focus on criminal life too or make other business profitable too, its always SAPD. Now weapon cost a lot, then weapon craft should be back and we all happy.
ARA is goverment, we dont get paid and we still not moaing about it.

Like we said, it's the first part of many updates that we plan to roll out. Criminals won't miss out either, we plan on doing things that will benefit both sides. This is really just to see how the updates to the police system will work in the current server environment, once we have some data to go off we can then make changes to the police system to make it more fair for the criminal side of the server too. As always, criticism is always welcome, we'll need it to improve after all. :D
-
Weapon price raises are not necessary and probably won't work in the long run. You already have the capability to solve the rampant "TDM in broad daylight" problem. Those capabilities have been around since the beginning. It's called utilizing /ban and punishing up to and including group closure to offending groups.

Not an option for a server suffering tremendous playerbase loss.
Removing the access to the temptation is a far better solution.
-
A big congratz to the groups, with the activities I have seen you all deserve it and HQ made a great choice!
Also, gratz and a thank you to Hq for finally doing shit i been arguing about for a year. @Bengt .!.

Congrats to everyone, and not any dealership got status?

Strongly agree.

Tremendous playerbase loss is yet to be seen because of these new prices, possibly starting with myself.

About the new updates, you never know how good or bad is it unless you implement and try them. By these new updates, HQ will surely get the idea of likes, dislikes and issues on the system that players are facing.
Great work on the updates.
-
Congratz to everyone. :)
Its good to see that something is being done, in the name of server shitty economy and cops n robbers game play. If direction is good or wrong is different subject. Thanks to HQ
