Title: Something is wrong, how are we going to respond to this?
Post by: Younes on May 30, 2018, 10:13:31 pm
Something is incredibly wrong in Argonath SA:MP right now. Viewing the playerbase daily, the server is barely hitting more than 7 players (today the max was 7-8). We all know why this could be happening, but let's be serious about this. If the players were satisfied about how things are going in Argonath SA:MP, no one would ever leave it or they'd balance their time between where they moved and Argonath SA:MP, simply because they can't leave due to the environment.

I am a member of the SA:MP staff, and hold the position of an administrator. I alongside all the staff team have been doing our best in the past to improve the state of the server. I have been completely inactive in the past month and about a half, and admit I have not done much for the server and the groups I'am holding, however I did see the server staff doing their best to create a better environment for players despite the difficulties they ran through. It is understandable that players throw the blame on the one in charge, but have we ever thought how would us, ourselves respond to this kind of situations if we were to hold such a position?

The server is completely dead. I can see that no one (except a few) have motivation to join in game and expect fun. Why is that? Throughout my stay in Argonath, I have never seen SA:MP server in a state such as this one. Something is totally wrong here, and it has to be fixed. The problem in my opinion isn't in HQ only, every single one of us had done wrong and is to be held responsible for this downfall. If we had a single player contributing to the server the way he's supposed  to be, we'd never reach this state.

The concept of leading by example had died long ago. Players farming money in game, no one interacts.. it became like single player with additional features which allow you to interact with. Players in the past used to have fun with each other, but nowadays no one considers another player as a friend (unless they personally are), and rather enemies which they could even kill in real life if things go wrong.

This isn't the way the server is supposed to work. This isn't the way the players are supposed to act. Argonath does not work like this, and never wanted to be like this. We sure had  some bad choices by ourselves and HQ, but is this how we're supposed to reward our community which taught us a lot and helped many mature up and become who they are now in real life? We are supposed to stand up against the obstacles we face no matter what. The fun isn't just from scripts, its from interaction and it'll always be.

Now the server will get more new players, but if there aren't elders to guide them, they'll eventually leave. Are we ready to put a hand on a hand and help our server come back and raise and reach the vision it has always established, and shine even better than before?

This message is directed to me, you as a player, a helper, an admin, a developer, a manager, or a community leader. Argonath hadn't died, it just is being abandoned and not being given a single crap about. There is no other way on seeing the playerbase rise and the fun if we just sit back and cry in forum topics on how Argonath has become and how the HQ had destroyed it.

IV:MP T4 barely gets 15 players daily, despite the fact that it has much better features and improved ones than T3. Fortnite killed it. People are no longer interested in those old school games.

tbh that's what I've been playing on my very limited freetime lately, I'd rather chill with friends than have a responsibility to take care of and cancer to deal with. But SA:MP's problem @Hernandez is that players moved from Argonath to server X for various reasons.

There are reasons why I don't come in game, and the main reason is player's mentality and me getting sick of the players DMing and money farming and just crying when a roleplay ends the way they ddin't want (which is the way they win). You can't do something when you have no motivation, that's how things work.

SA:MP players count has been dropped from 90k to 30k by April 2018, according to some statistics site. It's obvious that samp doesn't please the gamers as It used to be 1-2 years ago. Let's not put all the blame on the community and Its staffs.

Most of them left cuz of the current management we have. Just being honest.

not true, argonath's playerbase would've been like 100 -150 ppl and 50-60 playercount on peak hours if those people still had interest in playing

I've to agree. Nobody is looking forward to roleplay, have a bit of fun without money farming or deathmatching. I myself have been one of the most active players, in a year and a month I've been playing for, but right now, I seriously don't feel like going in - game. Not motivated to do so.

perhaps we should look deeper in these various reasons
Mainly the environment, and partly the scripts. I'm preety sure that everyone who plays there can confirm this.

I can say the environment in there is great. No one moans in /p, admins/managers are very helpful. New players aren't always supposed to be qualified. They become so by time. Each one of us did. Right now, not even a new player would log in to a server with 3 players. Let alone a qualified one.

It was around 30k at Christmas time. Around 90k like 2y ago. now its - less than 20k

You first need to think "Why would I join, what do I expect?" and then you join. You don't just join because "it's argonath". We need to step this up and look for solutions. This isn't normal, Argonath doesn't just simply stand up after some time. Something has to be done. Staying back and saying it will be solved with time won't work.

I don't direct my message to anyone saying that something has to be done by him.. rather than to all of us. But honestly you can't do it alone, you can't go in game and roleplay with your own self.. you need someone else.. and to get that someone else, you need to bring some goals and reasons to join the game, otherwise no one would ever join and it'd rather have zero players.

The problem started when the CURRENT HQ forget the main reason why Gandalf himself open this community which is, His opinion being neglected by others and He want someone to hear his voice but No-one pays attention to him. This what the CURRENT HQ doing right now, They kept themselves in a close circle away from players and FORGET their main job which HELP THE PLAYERS to find the community suitable for them, I know they started to change but when. When the train had passed them.


I had the will to help the new players and I am not seeking any ingame rank because It's useless as it seems it changes some personality and Rises their Ego to the sky.


I personally found nothing to login for except to pay my taxes.

I made a similar thread regarding the player base lately and it got locked (http://www.argonathrpg.eu/index.php?topic=124526.0).
If you try talking about it and sorting it out, they will just lock your thread and make it seem as if nothing is wrong with Argonath ...

I really miss the old Argonath days. Yeah we were lacking some scripts but here's how it went:

2008-2014 = playerbase +++++    scripts +----
2014-2016 = playerbase ++-----    scripts +++--

2018 = players non existent...

The change is within the HQ first, then we the players next. As I said before, what needs to be done (at least trying):

1. If there is at least one part of RS3 or early RS4 that is still available, bring it back. I know that some of the staff said that it had security loopholes and stuff. Bring the old, simple scripts back and improve the security. There was no problem in the scripts itself or their concepts.

2. Advertise where appropriate. It does not mainly involve paid advertising in global gaming communities, but it can involve calling the old database of players. OUR PLAYERS. However, calling the old players requires a generous offer. They're not looking for millions, but they deserve at least to get back what they lost.

There is one other thing to talk about, old scripts were simple. That's the difference. Why on earth do you have to type /cash near an ATM, then go down to Access ATM, then choose withdraw/deposit, and then type the amount, and then what? Get charged for that operation. It improves RP yes, it is realistic yes, but I hardly doubt it that you will be able to convince an old player that it's better than simply standing face to the ATM and typing /withdraw 5000.

There are a lot of points that need to be discussed. Locking topics won't solve the problem, trust me. Nobody's provoking anyone else. I myself appreciate all contributions in scripts by scripters like CBFasi and many others, but critics need to be accepted at least.

You want to know what to do? What to change? Ask the RS2 and RS3 scripters what made the community great and numerous. Just ask them, you don't have to bring them back. Ask xcasio, Sharphis, Crimson, Jcstodds, and you will see.

I've been lurking for a good time now, and watching from the sidelines. Honestly, lock down the server. Revise all the problems that creates unfairness and supports non-RP. Why was it good before, why is it bad now. What y'all need is real fresh start, from scratch. Remove everything and everyone.

As everyone says; it's cancer. Cancer breeds and will continue to breed as long as the vessel lives. Set that bitch on fire, create a new fresh vessel. Y'all to fuckin afraid to pull some real triggers. Afraid of it will die if you pull the triggers? Dont worry mate, it is already dying. You wont lose a dime anyways.

From the ashes we will rise...but it will take time and Argonath has to come with something very unique.
Also, I went IG few times these past few days, with 1-2 players, what did I do? Drove around aimlessly and /q ...sorry but I am not mentally ill to RP alone....and I won't bother go around searching for the 1 person in the server so have a RP with him...

How about all players who are constantly saying ‘this should change’ and ‘I can just roleplay with 2 players’ meet up ingame for a specific amount of time and enjoy playing with those and ignore the ‘useless’ players? This creates a stable playerbase to have fun with, which triggers you to go ingame and triggers the ‘useless’ to adjust their mentality?

New players will notice a stable playerbase (so far I see about +- 30 people still caring for the server) and hopefully will stick around for longer.

Oh and for HQ, I am unknown with HQ but maybe implement some roleplay standards / rules?

Change starts at everyone, including the individual you.

Well, 90% of playerbase moved to server X where they had nothing and are building from scratch and having fun. So that doubt is out of the way.

Problem is, who will push the reset button? Owners ain't nowhere to be seen unlike other communities. And its the management people have problems with. People have spoken, it's just that. So many see it as "boycott" but no, its the community standing up against the wrongs that have been happening lately.

Funny thing, we can't even say what's wrong with the community without risk being muted or even community banned. The current leadership is not ready to accept they don't have a problem but they are the problem. And if they are not even looking to know the problem, how will anyone solve it? Well, its no more any of my business.

You want to sort the issues? Either hit the reset button or give everyone free grounds to speak. A single topic, to let it all out, without "e-dick powers" that I am manager/board mod and will ban you from forums or that I am a manager/mod and I cannot speak my mind because I hold a respectable position. Equal grounds, Equal voice.

There's a formula you should follow to lead a life without stress, sort out all your conflicts/problems before heading to bed, so next day is a fresh start. This community just isn't ready to do that. (though many did, by just turning argo off and moving to other communities)

But meth addicts will loose their virtual money and start bitching on people who will push the reset button.
I am all in to go for the reset button. Make shit work better, make it a roleplay server and get rid of this free roaming shit. Light RP my ass..even a light RP server has roleplay standarts. We do NOT.

I've been talking to the HQ, i've been rude sometimes, no one punished me because of expressing my opinion. Of course I would like to see more effort from their side, because except one or two people everyone else abandoned the community. Everyone shouting loud that no one lets them express their  opinion and in the same time they have nothing to say.
Here is what I have to say - Andeey is contributing a lot, Trane isn't, Brian is arrogant af most of the time, Bengt used to contribute, but I don't see him around anymore, Carbon needs to give more tasks to his subordinates. Make a donation system, use the donations to advertise the server, review the rules, hire more scripters, lock the server and until everything is fixed don't open it. That way people will be curious about the changes and once it opens they'll start coming back.

People would never be punished/banned/muted for speaking out a legitimate concern. The issue with many people is that they use these topics to vent out personal frustrations towards other players, staff members and their mums.

Those that do contribute in a good manner can be seen in this topic. Yes, it's fine to put the blame on HQ/management/developers if you can explain why or if you have some factual evidence to support such claims. No one will be mad at you and start punishing if you show that you want to contribute in that way.

Furthermore, no staff member is perfect. We also make mistakes. Sometimes we add stuff to the script that later turns out to work like shit. Same goes for removing stuff. As a developer, there is nothing more frustrating than 10 topics with the same moaning (my precious money is gone), but without offering ANY solutions/suggestions.

Although the player count really isn't good at the moment, I do believe that with the mass exodus we've seen in the past few days, we've lost many cancerous players. That's something to be happy about. With the good and loyal players that are left, we can do a lot to rebuild the community and restore it to its former glory. This can be in the rules, scripts, but also by adding new servers. In my opinion, those choices are completely open and community input is appreciated in all of those areas.

That way people will be curious about the changes and once it opens they'll start coming back.

It's not about being rude here, some stuff just can't be shown or said with out risking getting the truth deleted. what you stated is your own opinion regarding each HQ member and his contribution and not actual facts not saying you're wrong but thing here some people are holding valuable facts about the true nature if HQ's way of work. un like with a specific manager that was shited on constantly but the moment a guy who shited on him alot and I'm not saying shited in an offensive way it's litteraly throwing shit comments by that I mean offensive comments and accusations with out backing it up with facts or any thing except what it was seemed like and how it looked from their perspective but when we got to a mature talk and I lifted all the needed proves to show that manager never been and never will be biased or pro group or what ever shit was thrown at him the guy I spoke with agreed  and I cleared the manager's name ( shame actions were taken before invistigation was done but well some people just use power in the way they want and they don't need to explain anything) a manager that was modest enough to not actually step out and try to clear his name and a guy that went alot above hours on mapping developing certain future scripts and re writing rules and yeah I'm talking from a friend perspective but unlike others I state facts here.

It's a shame rumors spread like this with out looking for facts or investigation that's how racism worked as well and over all any kind of hardcore hate towards people is created by spreading faceless statements and creating such a chaos and I disrespect any one that opened his mouth and layed such comments on a person or topic they don't have knowledge about and just by rumors from their friends. I never do so when ever I go and negatively talk about a person or a topic I state facts I research personally.

We need to possibility to have a chat that isn't working on assuming but an open discussion with actual facts thrown in and not personal agendas.

Well it depends how strong the evidence supporting the accusations are because there is information that can lead to actual destruction but trust me there is a reason some comments are being deleted if current HQ believes his operating way is perfectly fair and fine there is no reason to avoid opening such a topic. Of course relying on the fact the topic will contain valid points and not rage accusations and shit thrown.

Yup, all true. What matters most in my opinion is the intention behind the post/criticism. Is it intended to throw more shit than is already being done, or is it intended to make the community better? The first should be removed, the latter is more than welcome.

The only reason why I made this topic is because I only seen players actually crying and saying "I want the server to change" but actual haven't done anything so far. The solution for a problem isn't leaving it behind, it's facing it and fixing what is wrong, and I can ensure everyone if we actually start to care to roleplay and not the in game virtual money and items, server would be alot better.

We do not need scripts, we do not need drugs, we need words, roleplay, interaction between players.. that's where the fun is. You'd get bored eventually of money because it doesn't change. The same way you get it, the same where you spend it. If you roleplay daily, scenarios vary and the more roleplay you see in the server, the higher the chance you'll encounter one and the better you learn..

This topic isn't to criticize, it's rather a wakeup call for all of us.. this is our server, not HQ's. We play here, we love Argonath, and we spent our years here making friends. Why would be dump just because some players don't play the way we like? Why do we have to be so angry about losing items in game?

We either reconsider ourselves.. or we'll lose something dear to us.

There is nothing to research. There are few things that are known - Carbon has to put tasks - when he does that - Bengt, Brian, Andeey and Trane have to find a way to fulfill those tasks. I put nothing personal in the things I say. For example Brian and Trane are also scripters - their role should be to find scripters to work for Argonath, create a working environment and control and lead them by example. Andeey is lead mapper, currently the server's smallest problem is lack of maps - that means he is doing his job well. For example if Carbon gives Bengt the task to review the rules and rewrite them, Bengt can use the help of our senior administrators and they can use the help of the helpers. All together should have main priority to supervise the staff team, supervise the players and find new innovative ways to improve the server and when someone is doing perfect in his area he can help the others.

Scripters should script, mappers should map, admins should punish rulebreakers, helpers should help players and HQ should supervise all of this.
But currently that chain is broken and I bet there is either a complete chaos in the HQ or no one cares. Memes won't help Argonath to get over the hard times, hard work and dedication will.
There is nothing personal in saying the things the way you see them, Miki.
One tip from me to everyone playing here: Once you log in in the server, put yourself behind and the community in front. Don't be selfish. Don't be arrogant and enjoy your stay, don't make it harder for you.
I also want to elaborate with facts about what I said about Brian that he's been arrogant. Several people witnessed that when they ask him something, sometimes he answers adequately and professional, but sometimes he ignores them or replies sarcastically.

Well firstly you were one of the people included in talking about a certain manager with out actual facts in your sayings I mean partly. I do understand you described what was seen by your eyes but that doesn't mean that's what actually going there are alot of things we the simple players don't know about how HQ / Staff / Arun operate, due to that it's hard to judge as well I can easily clear things to you as I did with greasy yesterday and he entirely changed his mind as far as I understood at least. and I'm not saying re search certain people hold very valuable information right now that might change your mind entirely that's why I'm no longer seen and I gave my everything constantly to new players and the server's progress but the stuff I witnessed made me decide I'm not logging in  any more it's simply a waste of time and you guys and you  personally bogo know how much I wanted that change and how I worked. now you can assume how hard the facts I hold are.

Although the player count really isn't good at the moment, I do believe that with the mass exodus we've seen in the past few days, we've lost many cancerous players. That's something to be happy about.

Sure. Bring Khm back to manager/division leader first. He was literally the most dedicated person on the time he was a manager. He got demoted because he brought up a truth that the current management wouldn't want to come out. I noticed new players joining in that time as well. About the other people, I'm sure we can find a lot of persons who are willing to contribute for the server in the mean time.

Who's active enough and has sufficient knowledge and experience as well as interest to lead the community? Which developers? You guys gotta understand, a change in HQ will take time and will be far from easy. And out of curiosity, who would be a good enough manager in your eyes?

As for Khm, isn't the idea to have new management? He was part of that very same HQ everyone keeps throwing shit at.

Let's not complain about who is a good member and a bad member of the HQ team.

The management of a server does not come by one hand, it comes by several hands which work together to patch things up. Don't point fingers at people without giving them solutions on how to overcome the current situation.

The only way to solve this, if we really want to, is to start giving some interest to Argonath rather than just dumping it the way we did, where no one really cares about anymore except a few..

Tbh management should be active and healthy. Not inactive. Khm is pretty active atleast more than others. Andeey was pretty active when I played. I saw others rarely.

And it's not just about the management. Bring in new management and players will shit on them too. The most important part is to change the mentality of the player base. Just talking about whats wrong won't help.

Take fkin actions to fix the wrong things.

New management assigned is one stage if you already bring it up, you do understand current one won't be thrown off who ever suggests this crazy idea of changing management really knows the facts behind it's operation and it's not out of hate and I assure you there are reasons.
Inactivity is one but it's nothing compared to what's going on there.

We lost playerbase in stages and at some point I saw people accusing management and I was like -  lol they are just butthurt they get punished and things don't go there way and now I regret that and instead of moaning when topics like this come up I'd love to share all I know but I can't and in topics like this I point out the biggest problem in my opinion and it's the angels up there and covers in many field I rather them be inactive honestly with how shit went and whole Khm history is even more fucked after all he got demoted due to the shit storm that went against him with out people having facts behind and he doesn't feel bad about it and he didn't go clearing his name instead he stood silent and saw the destruction that was caused, I personally tell you guys this guy was un reachable due to how busy he was not only he was probably only active manager during that period of time instead of playing fortnite he wasted the time out of game on mapping scripting and developing new ideas how many times I called him IG to RP and he was too busy for his closest friends just to contribute to this community.

What did he get back - several people developed rumors on him not relying on facts and any one that wants to hear the truth is free to PM me because I'm as his friend and as I see how much time he spent and effort I want to clear his name because i feel so bad when people go shitting on some one they don't know shit about.

There was a current group that mainly shitted on him but honestly they did it not out of hate or stupidity more out of lack of information the moment I provided the information the whole idea about Khm from the core of the rumor spreading changed.

Wipe the idea of HQ is holy from your head they aren't as holy as you think they are human like every one and their mistakes are currently not out of experience or any thing. they know what they are doing and they are fine with it.

I do think it's time for the community to move to five. Gta sa is old and even if 30k people play samp then also its divided over thousands of servers and we can't really drag all 30k to argonath.

Moving to five will not only raise player count greatly but also will present a lot more opportunities to the community. And about the legal issues, I don't think there would be a problem hosting a server on fivem. Hosting.

Idk how people play vcmp but samp and vcmp are basically old and ready to die. Ivmp is also dangling. Focus has shifted to five.

Argonath exists since 2006 and it's been twelve years now and still we are able to reach 80 at peek times and that of course relying on the thing that some left- ignore the current condition because what happened now is that some server took advantage of the current chaos to it's advantage I mean after all there is nothing wrong about it I personally don't go there but it reaches around 70 players if not more it's not related to SAMP in any way I mean SAMP dies yeah but after all this community holds up due to friends and connections look at SAMP's graphics no body likes them lmao look at new games not but still people stick by because Argonath is more then a part of SAMP platform, it's literally a word of it's own.

More developers isn't dramatically going to increase the quality nor quantity of the scripts. Even though large changes are upcoming, that clearly isn't enough in the direct future.

As for your remarks about /myproperties that "you guys" took one year to complete: the current scripting team isn't even in charge of RS5 for 6 months. So, don't put that on us.

Making new stuff and updating existing stuff takes a long time. Why? Because the script is big. It's old. It's been worked on by 10-15 people who all added their own parts that were in their area of expertise. As a unintended side-effect, this resulted in overly complex scripts and modularity. Every developer has his own coding style and it is very hard to manage such a large script with the multitude of coding styles that are in it.

Argonath hasn't died, was never even close. It's SA:MP that's having a hard time. Ever since release of RS3 and the 0.4 client, the VCMP server has seen extraordinary activity which is more than enough for a map of this size. IV:MP is doing fairly well too. So it isn't Argonath, it isn't Fortnite, exams or any other ridiculous reason that people try to come up with. It's you. It's the decisions you all collectively make, all the way from HQ down to the players themselves, who seem to have forgotten that it's called a Multiplayer Game because you are supposed to interact with players, not with scripts. It is also in the player relationships with one another. From what I've observed, you guys treat each other as rivals, enemies, instead of friends and collegues. In the meantime, VC:MP manages to circumvent the issue of the server owners being inactive to provide a stable host for us by having members of the community who are willing to pay money to keep the server alive themselves.

For those who are annoyed about the fact that even though I left SAMP a while ago but still keep giving my input, just remember your own attitude towards us when we were experiencing hard times, and realise that you really are not in a position to complain  :)

This has to be like the fifth topic like this in the past few months. Nothing changes. Just organise an event with the concept of all currently still active players to get in game at once and actually roleplay, forgetting the money farming. People will get to experience what fun it is to actually roleplay in an active server again and perhaps such activity will become a much more often occurance. New players will join, seeing the online player count. It will be up to you whether you will take your time to teach them and guide them so they stay, or go back to fucking mining and deathmatching over weed spots.

Good luck.

I truly appreciate you taking the time to summarise all of the issues we have pointed out. I can honestly say that I do have no idea what you mean about us treating each other as rivals at all my good sir. You came off your high horse opened this topic again to take an unneeded and unnecessary shot in the back of what a bad day for me already trying to do all I can to help. All I asked was that we stop being rude and actually try to come together and simply that we end this topic.

I appreciate you showing so much class in this regard. If anyone else wants to make any long drawn out stupid comments that have been pointed out please he just opened the door for them.

Hopefully, this is the last post I beg and pray.

No offense towards Marcel, nor Chase, they have lifes too. But I was told that there is a new update coming months ago...word got out, everyone knew about that BIG update coming, so we waited...and waited....and waited, few months later we got few bug fixes some minor features added the infamous drug nerf. But that BIG update still hasn't come.

No offense to all the mappers (including me :D) they have lifes too. But we were told about the mall! The big rework, even constructions were mapped there. So we waited...and waited and waited...until in the end nobody mentioned anything about the mall-...The BIG mapped change! Same as SAPD int...
Again I don't blame the people who were given/took those tasks, but at least keep us update (or don't mention what's coming up unless you are sure you can bring it) My point on what's wrong...more organization is needed, you give a task to someone - you follow him you ask him for progress ask him what's his deadline.

You give voice to the people, you ask them what they want YOU ACTUALLY LISTEN to what they want and TAKE IT into consideration. Don't just pass it over....As much as this would sound bad for you and maybe even crazy, give the people what they want..not the opposite, yes you can't make everyone happy but it's with a little bit of thinking you can come to a middle ground (of course if you have a vision of the server try to stick to it) not saying turning the RPG to TDM :D but you don't need the server if there are no players. If you don't aim for a higher playerbase, be loyal to the few people that play and listen to them.

One more thing that's been killing this community for long, long time....the God damn hate..and I am not speaking player to player or player to HQ hate, hate in general, admin to admin admin to mod, mod to helper, helper to HQ CAUSE I DIDN'T MAKE HIM EMS CHIEF - I'm joking. But even if there is hate in the staff team, how can you expect players not to dislike you or each other....both the people that hate each other are here for one simple thing to play and make this place something better. Hating one another and sabotaging your work makes it worst....HELL it's the worst thing that can happen.

I won't say go IG and raise the activity, I'd say help the community one way or another.

Sir from my grave I come to try to help as you continue to not be able to listen just like when you were in the SAPD. How about this you let me try and at least I did?

The SA:MP community is too heated, topics end up with many pages with posts, yet nothing happens. Like seriously, by only watching, and not contributing, I've seen hundreds of these topics. Same results, lock and loaded. Honestly, if y'all want to get things stable in the community itself, let the fire burn out. Lock down the server, wait a month or two. You'll have plenty of time fixing server issues, attend IRL responsibilities and let this frustration burn out.

You, the developers, are working in mid fucking stress, you're heated and fucked in every corner, yet you're trying to do something. Kudos to you, but I don't want y'all to end up like Teddy; getting your brain fried and going mental. Shut down the server, relax, plan, execute and roll.

Lemme illustrate this with a picture, currently this is Argo SA:MP:

I fully agree but at the same time by closing, you have no guarantee that people will come back. Before we take that step I think we need to try to just actually respect each other and roleplay and want it to work rather than want something new.

Is it possible to restrict poll-voting to those who have above 100 posts? If so then the following can be made:

Developers go around the posts and collect enough information on different demands the players are asking for (Whether it be going back to old scripts or fixing the current one) make a topic and display it on a poll. Whatever passes first start working on it and then repeat again... And again... Until the necessary demands are met.

I didn't read all the posts but it seems you people get offended too easily and are too fucking emotional and half of the posts are half dumb and half stupid or another attempt to raise the post count. Fuck your freedom of speech if you're gonna get butt-hurt by someone's opinion or the truth. - 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what, that doesn't help does it?

The solution is right there... It's literally right there and nobody wants to work. It seems like everyone wants the same bullshit but nobody wants the same shit in the same time, what the fuck? Otherwise why the fuck are you fighting.

I think the developers should start a topic announcing how they're going to deal with it, hopefully that will ease a lot of minds here and little by little we'll pick up the bits and fix this. Otherwise, expect more of these topics and only these topics.

Best of luck to Marcel and Chase, thanks for sticking around appreciated much.

If anyone got offended by my post, keep on reading it.

Lemme save you some time: I can't login in the meantime, I'm using my backup laptop I have limited internet where I am and not very much storage either. For those who can, happy gaming.

But meth addicts will loose their virtual money and start bitching on people who will push the reset button.
I am all in to go for the reset button. Make shit work better, make it a roleplay server and get rid of this free roaming shit. Light RP my ass..even a light RP server has roleplay standarts. We do NOT.
Well i heard in 2015-2016 the meth p/g used to be around 50-60 meth equipment price 10k and not sure about ingredients. The HQ made the mistake made prices to 116+ and ruined the server, it's okay you made it 116 then why to again low them? because people are already addicted to meth. Did anyone notice none cried about heroin? because heroin is dead none cares about heroin if you'll make 100g+ from 1 order everyone will start grinding heroin and if you'll suddenly make it 20g from 1 order then people will criticize because you give them chance to and you give them chance to grind and then take the food from their mouth because you suddenly realises it's wrong, if you'd lowered the prices slowly slowly abit abit then this shit won't hurted the server and SAMP isn't dying, the argonath players are play A "xXX" server and you won't believe after seeing it's Playerbase.

I had a talk with Jimmy few hours ago in discord voice chat, and he knows a lot more about the situation than you think. What are you doing here anyway? You always talk shit bout' SAMP, go find a place to posthunt somewhere else.

We get it, Management sucks, they're all evil, people left because of them yeah yeah.
 Who's gonna replace them then? How do you suggest that works? Don't just point at the problem, suggest a solution.
New management and developers. I've names in my head as well, but people are gonna come up with " no he's biased " just to shit on them

New developers? Alright and what do you suggest they do? RS5 isn't exactly a beginner script. The only people who are experienced with it and still active are Chase and myself.

Let us hear the people you have in mind of taking over.
Don't get butthurt without even trying to listen. I don't really know much about developing, but I know that we need new fresh scripts, that players will enjoy. Everyone is bored of the old ones. We need more developers, you guys literally added the /myproperties command one year after it was suggested. I mean, come on, one year for a small ass update? That's why we need new developers.
/Myproperties still only shows 10-15 properties and if the names are bigger than it's a "WASTE"

Im saying because mostly people got 10+ properties and if you are in a Reco/offi group then that group HQ would come on that list.

Bollox, I refuse to contribute to something if it's going to waste, it would hurt more seeing it fall for nothing. You're one of the people spreading false accusations around aswell so you aren't off the hook from this.

Why because there we're some people who started in based rumors about him and shited on him with out bothering really digging into stuff before they throw accusations and he got demoted in the most pathetic and low way.  In his place I'd do the same I'm still amazed he is silent about everything . And his work not only wasn't appreciated the work he'd submit will go to waste I knew almost a month ago we will end up right here. 

Next time get your facts straight people about who is biased who makes players leave and who is a harm to this. Community to remind you player base was 50 at least when khm was here but from there it went straight down hill now wonder who protected the decenty of the community and who fucked it.

There are reasons why I don't come in game, and the main reason is player's mentality and me getting sick of the players DMing and money farming and just crying when a roleplay ends the way they ddin't want (which is the way they win). You can't do something when you have no motivation, that's how things work.
Exactly my man. My man. Remember when you punished like a bunch of _Gvardia members and began calling us DMers and what not, even after being told by HQ members that you were wrong? Yeah, that didn't happen once, it happens a lot, and not only by you, or admins, players do it too. And that's why I (we) lack motivation.

On my free time today, I updated Fortnite and LoL, and didn't play a single game because I had to go, I could have spent well over an hour on the server, but I'd rather not really, not like this.


The problem isn't lack of motivation or scripts or developers. The problem is there is nothing being done by the HQ to change things (not talking scripts).

Exactly my man. My man. Remember when you punished like a bunch of _Gvardia members and began calling us DMers and what not, even after being told by HQ members that you were wrong? Yeah, that didn't happen once, it happens a lot, and not only by you, or admins, players do it too. And that's why I (we) lack motivation.

What does this have to do with this topic? Besides I still stick to my opinion even though I have been forced off and never talked to until I myself went asking why what happened has happened. Afterall I'm in no position to judge an HQ member as it's the job of whomever is above, but I still have an opinion and no one could change it unless he gives me solid arguments.
Now you understand some of reasons why I do not play anymore and lost 80% of my motivation to go in game and went back to a server which I left a year ago for SAPD.

This topic isn't about your situation or mine though, it's about Argonath. Argonath did not die, we will stand off but not if we just stand back crying.. not if nothing is being done to get people motivated again.

You ask me why I'm sitting back and asking players and mainly HQ to work out something.. well this is because I'm quite tied now and I do not know whether anything I do would be valuable or would be another idea dumped in the inactivity of the server..

I still have like two more pages, but reading the title, I pointed out what's wrong. Guess I'll have to write all of that then, but you can also go through my post history and find a lot of suggestions/ideas on how to improve things around.

I don't want to make this personal about me and you, as I said, there are many more instances, I'll only use it as an example. You punished us, we showed you wrong, you still have your opinion. Well here's the thing, when you punish a player, it's not about your opinion on that player, it's about him actually being wrong. Now you may go around saying you're not biased and all that, but punishing people because of your opinion on them is wrong. And that makes players angry, and eventually, leave. (Miss that boycott meme man, good ol' days). Argonath isn't only SA:MP, but SA:MP is on its death bed, let's be real.

Well, why wouldn't someone question you for sitting back? You're an administrator of the server, good or bad doesn't matter, you have that position that you applied for, and you volunteer for it as well, no one is forcing you to do your job. Yet, you call people DMers but don't punish them? Hmm...

Well there's my point proven, no one bothers to listen. And now you want to get heard and your topic to make a difference? Dude, I don't want to argue with you, nor prove you wrong. You can't solve something if you don't know what the problem is. I'm pointing at the problem(s), let's figure it all out and then start finding a solution. And no, the solution isn't a simple thing as just "remove this/them, add this/them", because we lack people/rules/scripts/etc.

If I don't mention what happened between us, it's just "complaining/moaning/being butthurt", instead I just gave an example. You don't even have to talk about it, just how to fix it.

I never said you're wrong or correct. You had your point of view and so did I. There are no clear rules that cover your statement neither mine. I always had and still have the utmost respect to you and Gvardia members and everyone in the server.

We need clear rules for everyone, people no longer have common sense, or common sense is now different among people as everyone has his own point of view supported by arguments which at last end up in a discussion being forced out by someone who is higher. Why even allow such things to happen in first place? It's your job to provide clear rules for a better environment, not leave everyone play in doubt and their own rules and when an admin punishes using his common sense, you come up with your own and say "no" "I'm not with this group" "I'm not biased" and calling people kids when all they did was do their job as written..

The server changed scriptwise, but the mentality had never changed. Argonath had gone to a point where it started imitating other servers' scripts and keeping the mentality to its oldschool, resulting in a total downfall and confusion between players..


I'm glad at last a step was taken and I do hope for more to come soon.. as they said, we got to start somewhere.. and I hope this be a good start for us again..

Hey Younes look, I know many players didn't leave, they just got some exams, and I know many that just witing for holidays .. they're not died, they still here and reading the forum topics..Like me.. I didn't join since January 2018 but now I came back.. and soon the other players will come one by one no need to wait..
I knwo they look like they don't care , they don't think the Hq is the problem.. they got also real life, I belive that they will back as soon as possible..
Ignore my fool english or trying to write something well  :lol: :lol:

Get ingame, do your thing, problem solved  :lol:

You first need to think "Why would I join, what do I expect?" and then you join. You don't just join because "it's argonath". We need to step this up and look for solutions. This isn't normal, Argonath doesn't just simply stand up after some time. Something has to be done. Staying back and saying it will be solved with time won't work.

I don't direct my message to anyone saying that something has to be done by him.. rather than to all of us. But honestly you can't do it alone, you can't go in game and roleplay with your own self.. you need someone else.. and to get that someone else, you need to bring some goals and reasons to join the game, otherwise no one would ever join and it'd rather have zero players.

Well If you wanna make it that complicated, ask yourself before buying/downloading a game: Do I really wanna play that game ? Why would I wanna play that game If I'll leave it anyhow eventually ? Might aswell ask why eat if you'll get hungry anyhow  :lol:

Just get ingame, Its been said millions of times now - crying over forums about low playerbase aint solving a thing. If you're tired of your roles in the server, well have a change, try something else. Right now is the perfect time to begin with something new, creative. The cancer people are after is gone, you surely wont get randomly shot down or rammed right now, go host some roleplay scenes.

Just because the response to an idea doesn’t float your boat does not mean a developer is rude or does not listen to the idea.

Some ideas are better than others and some are technically impossible. Your special snowflake attitude says enough. We do not do EVERYTHING the players want, we do what is good for the community.

Nah man, you are wrong here, many many suggestions that are doable got ignored and all of them were good for the community. You are not doing what is good for the community you are doing what you and I assume the HQ or Carbon (no idea who knows about the updates) thinks it's good for the community, those are two different things.
I suggest you take in count what the players want and what they suggest more, so you actually do an update that is good for the community - because with no people there is no community.

In the end, developers decide what is doable since they have the technical know-how to determine that.

Every single update in the past months has been created directly by looking at the suggestions board. The inventory sorting? Suggested. Fighting styles in gyms? Suggested. Phone numbers of CMB staff in /cmb? Suggested.

I suggest you cut the crap.

Awww

I've never witnessed a what you call " rude " reaction from a developer here when a player suggested an idea of his/her. I don't get why all of a sudden a train full of hatred towards the developers appeared and a bunch of kids got on board. Apparently it's just fashion to hate on them every now and then. How lazy are the players are becoming.... Some post complained how the ATM functions like really? Dude really? That's one of the reasons you think? Because our players are too fucking lazy to type in a few extra words the server lost its playerbase. I honestly do not see how the scripts forced some out of here. Ohhh my bad it's also the Scripted Jobs boohoo who the fuck forced you to go and do it? EVERYONE is complaining about how - Scripted jobs are brainwashing the newcommers bla bla... Umm the script ruined the core of roleplay and turned players into cops and robbers and bots etc... I don't understand how an addition of commands and script made you lose interest it's .. What in the name of fuck?

So tell me if I'm wrong but this is your case:

Less scripts before - More players
More scripts now - less players

That's your logic... So in other words this is what happened:

Guys we added more scripts and features for you to interact with IF you wish to

Players: More scripts? Dose dat mean no moar roalplay? fuhk m out.

EVERYONE agrees that you don't need script to roleplay... So why can't you roleplay if it's there or not?

Some of the complaints:
-The pricing of weapons .... Don't get me started

-Scripted Jobs... Really? So they give you an easy way to make cash if you want to and you get pissed at it? Faster way to get your weapons.

-Apparently people are bitching about drugs? Not fully aware of that but back in 08 the drug system was a COMPLETE fuck up but we still enjoyed it. You could use the field only ONCE every 10-20 minutes and you get a maximum of 25 weed, the prices were different, laws about it etc..

You don't get how it was back in the days, people were being banned for things they haven't done, the scripts were overwhelmed with glitches and we'd brush it off and continue playing. You don't know the things we had to go through and there are two on my minds right now because I'm half asleep:

- Whenever you go off duty you keep your on-duty weapons with you so you had to shoot it all off then resume playing otherwise you'd be banned if you use it against an other player.

- We had no command to give another player weapons.

Now the major complaint apparently is the poor communication between the developers and the players of the server well that's an easy one. Not alllll of your wishes will come true, this isn't X's server nor is it Y's nor is it for both of them it's for all the A's and the B's the Cs and the D's etc.. They cannot fulfill all your ideas and suggestions and for those who assume that NONE of the player's ideas are being implemented... Big fucking DOUBT IT

Your point of view is not always shared by others, what you find beneficial, could be beneficial, but it also could be more harmful than helpful or just useless.

Don't fucking start whining because of the simplest things, grow the fuck up and start dealing with it properly because shitting on the developers will get you absolutely nowhere. Get on their good side. Apparently there's a group who has something personal against them or one of them or whatever, if it's personal keep it personal. If it's on a professional level then report it - deal with it professionally please... Please stop whining. Communication solves everything but not just any form of communication, maintain a professional/healthy one and the community will be on its way to prosper and rise. If you feel this was directed at you then it probably is. It seems that everyone wants the best for the server and that's great but work as a community for fucks sake. The world is not happy place and it's not all sunshine and candy and it's not always sunny in Philadelphia a but you still have to deal with it. Don't hate each other and I don't care if you love each other but what's most importantly is that since you both have the same goal put your problems aside, lower that ego of yours and work together to achieve it.

- Those words you see as "harsh" oh it fits what you're doing perfectly thus not used out of context.

Nobody's whining, and yes, sorry but it's the truth, the current ATM system is non-sense. Besides, it is just an example of many things that need a review at least. If you don't accept critics, then probably moving to North Korea or Cuba would suit you more I guess.

And yes, I myself did notice some strange and unacceptable behaviour from some of the staff (Unacceptable by the affirmation of Andeey, so don't say I'm alone).

And yes, I've seen some people calling ideas "stupid" rather than "not effective" or "frankly useless". If you're not willing to address people's ideas and suggestions respectfully, then maybe you should lay the ground for someone else at least to reply to them. This doesn't mean that someone is b*tthurt or something, but I myself for example would accept such vocabulary from someone I know well, say Toto_Gvardia for example, but it would be strange from someone that I don't know well, staff or regular players.

We need clear rules for everyone, people no longer have common sense, or common sense is now different among people as everyone has his own point of view supported by arguments which at last end up in a discussion being forced out by someone who is higher. Why even allow such things to happen in first place? It's your job to provide clear rules for a better environment, not leave everyone play in doubt and their own rules and when an admin punishes using his common sense, you come up with your own and say "no" "I'm not with this group" "I'm not biased" and calling people kids when all they did was do their job as written..
Yeah that's a huge problem, interpretation of rules.

I for one know that when a cop engages you, you can engage back. But no you can't go after the cop, just because they are on your minimap, lose them, your goal is to escape! Well if I kill the cop stopping me from escaping, then I can escape.

But sure, even if that passes as a valid reason to the administration members, there's still a whole lot of arguing to be done with what's engaging. And yeah, it does take a while to find a link, but I believe Murt/Kojak have addressed this in the past, engaging is basically when a cop is prohibiting you from escaping (rhl doesnt go down). So just by being on the minimap he's engaging you. But if I go ahead and try to explain that to a cop admin, he will say something like "Senior Officer ordered everyone to not engage, he is just following, blablabla". We have the same words for different things, we have rules being taken out of context, and the admins probably don't even have guidelines. I don't know what you get trained in, I'm speaking out of my ass here, but really that job is lacking some knowledge because it has happened to me that not only one staff member has any idea what's going on and will just go with what he knows.

I'm not going to name anyone here, for the sake of keeping this topic from turning into a shitstorm, I got punished for "come back when you know how to speak". What happened to the rules then? Where in the rules can't I speak however the fuck I want to someone, for as long as I don't break any other rules such as provoking or insulting, and even then I could have been punished for one of these two reasons, not "come back when you can speak". Yeah sure, I'm able to write English better than I was doing at the situation, but what about those that can't? Why are those people not punished? If you treat the players unfairly, and they can't change anything, well we'll just stop playing. Why are there 60 people on the forum yet only 6 IG? We didn't leave this community, we just refuse to play and deal with the bullshit that goes on.

Post by: Younes on June 01, 2018, 11:38:01 am


Everyone actually has his own point of view regarding when to engage a cop. Some managers still say you may never go after a cop just because he is in your minimap (not on your sight).. while some say you're able to engage because he is freezing your RHL.
Different opinions, I and you are stuck in the middle.. things end up unpleasant..

Though a topic explaining some points you mentioned was created by Andeey and I hope that'd clear confusion now.. and hopefully more to come in future.

Not sure whether you know what 'cancer' means in this case, but looking at your recent posts from a different angle and perspective, you're the one spreading hate, pointing fingers at people who you think are responsible for stuff you came up with pretty much.
 Speaking of contribution. do you think coming into the server and paying the taxes is a serious contribution from your end to question mine ? Well..someone should moderate this guys hate speeches over the past couple of weeks because Ive got no clue why is this guy still here or what he's after, because he surely isnt here to play, he's here only to push blame onto people.

You shouldn't even start talking when it comes to atittude. You're literally the last guy who can. Go spread cancer somewhere, no one needs your shit talking here. I come in game for 5 minutes, just to check something, and you alredy provoke me. Bravo, you're contributing a lot to the community.

Not sure whether you know what 'cancer' means in this case, but looking at your recent posts from a different angle and perspective, you're the one spreading hate, pointing fingers at people who you think are responsible for stuff you came up with pretty much.
 Speaking of contribution. do you think coming into the server and paying the taxes is a serious contribution from your end to question mine ? Well..someone should moderate this guys hate speeches over the past couple of weeks because Ive got no clue why is this guy still here or what he's after, because he surely isnt here to play, he's here only to push blame onto people.
 
 I agree with Bogomil, these topics should be locked already, enough of the moaning, solutions are right infront of ya'll, get ingame, play and If you dont want to, move on.
I point fingers at people who deserve it, I don't hide shit, I always say my opinion. Oh so you're contributing? By provoking everyone who comes in game? Bravo, keep it up.

I don't know how this server is going to fixed with veterans like you. I seriously mean it, change your atittude, contribute to this community, or gtfo.

Don't lock this topic, don't make it another win for people who actually just know how to whine around on forums, but don't do anything for the server either. And yes, that's you Thomas.
Stop being such a argumentative little cunt and only reply when you actually have something useful to add. Last chance.

One of the reasons why I left Argo was how rude some developers react when players suggest something, you guys are looking to have more playerbase but you act rude and you dont even bother to listen to their ideas, do what players want and you'll have the playerbase you wish for.

It's definitely me who is a argumentative little cunt, not the one who started it. Amazing logic. Bravo, you're doing nothing but taking this even more to shit. Keep it up, I'm out. There's no hope for this community, with people like this.

This just adds fuel to the fire, Marcel.

Nothing more. I seriously couldn't care less about Tom, but a guy who keeps talking so much trash on forum, does that in - game, I can't be quiet. I get that you're tired as well, everything is going downhill, but being rude won't fix shit.

Nobody's whining

Please don't bullshit me.
If you're not willing to address people's ideas and suggestions respectfully, then maybe you should lay the ground for someone else at least to reply to them.
This doesn't mean that someone is b*tthurt or something,

Come again.

So in your logic I could say:

If you're not willing to stop whining then please lay the ground for someone else at least to reply.



There's a huge difference between filling a constructive complaint and whining. I'm not saying you should convince yourself that all is good and go on with it. If you and a good amount of the players find something bothersome address it properly and respectively. You guys are just attacking the developers and it really seems you're trying to start a "riot: and it's cute but no. We don't need that.
I'm not saying they're saints, they might fuck up at times we all fuck up at times. However you need to respect them as much as they need to respect you and pull a whole different reaction.

With that being said..

And yes, I myself did notice some strange and unacceptable behaviour from some of the staff (Unacceptable by the affirmation of Andeey, so don't say I'm alone).
Nobody's whining, and yes, sorry but it's the truth, the current ATM system is non-sense.

Report it with proof. And yes Before you race yourself to conclusions, I'm not assuming you're lying but such posts are worthless.

Some players are more bothered by the attitude they've been receiving  umm like this:

And yes, I've seen some people calling ideas "stupid" rather than "not effective" or "frankly useless".

So what if he called your idea stupid? What is the big deal? What if it was stupid? Laugh it off. Do you believe that you're like the chosen one ? What's the deal with that.

You guys and your egos I swear.

What you call whining I call telling the truth. The truth that you and many here do not like to hear. Get over it.

Normally I don't say this, but you force me to. I did file a report and got a follow from a community leader. That is just so you know that some kind of a shitty attitude was not only noticed by players.

If you're okay being disrespected, I'm not. I don't like to question whether you have dignity or not, but meh...

Maybe you should see things objectively rather than standing with someone you closely know.

It's 2018 get over it. It's not worth it anymore, just let it die already.
Other communities are standing still with a high a playerbase, why? because they have something to cling on, and keep players coming. What does Argonath has? Nothing except '' We are unique '' and all that bullshit. It gets pretty dull with what Argonath has to offer.  Go ahead and take a look at the owner's account and see when is the last time he logged in, the owner himself does not give a fuck about his community, do you for a second think the players who left would? There are a lot of games out there, they are not going to be upset if the server gets shut down.
Bring a proper roleplay server for this community on GTA V and you could see some change, SAMP is dying for Argonath.

Since this topic turned to shit with insults, provocation etc it'll be locked as well.

In the future any topics of similar nature is to be constructive.

EDIT: I know you're all heated about the current situation, but it is not an excuse to go break the rules on the forums.

Discussion will not "censored" but rules will be enforced.
