[IV:MP] Poll: what is your reason for not joining the server?

[Surena]

mastering aim was impossible, desync was VERY annoying.

Lol mastering aim in T3 was easy af, try the same in T4 and you'll be confused how the system works. There has been some sync improvements if stationary with aim right onto someone but even that still isn't perfect. You could practise on T3 easily but in T4 it's random. Only bad thing was the Z axis not working but that wasn't a huge deal most of the time since swimming and flying as SU wasn't allowed and most common guns don't have the range to shoot far up/down anyway.

As for content, new guns and cars won't do shit. We need whole server script overhaul.

[Kowalski.]

That and we should migrate to CitizenIV due to its great features, sync, and capability which will only further enhance the game mode and its possibilities.

And I'm not trying to say that our server isnt good for someone to try and visit it, I swear the server was really fun whenever was active but what I'm trying to say is that our mod itself is outdated and the developmet for both of our client and our server are heavily stuck in the mud buddy.
 

Sorry but, when IVMP had players, I haven't seen any roleplays other then cops suspecting criminals for evading and have a pursuit for 20 minutes and the other half of player base grinds some money as a fireman with 0 roleplay and the other half afks at mgs, that's what I experienced in ivmp. We might have experienced different things but still, it's been like that for a long time honestly, that's why rules play big factor in this, players had will to refuse rp and do whatever they want (freeroam server) and were stubborn/tryhards win only mentality

If you haven't seen any proper RP through the years we have played here, you have truly missed out on stuff.

I may have described that wrongly, but by impossible I meant people with 200+ ping could just spray n' pray and hope for the best.

If someone's ping was under 50s, mastering it is A LOT easier since you know where to shoot most of the time. But it was still complicated because most of the time it depended on the enemy's ping.

Content didn't do much for me. I mean in T3 I didn't join the game because the server had features which didn't exist in multiplayer. People were ok with the content flow in T3 (there was no content basically) and people (as far as I know) were ok with that.

Also we were ALOT more popular than Citizen:IV back in the day, why do you guys want to move there? Better support for modding?

Come on, just advertise the server and once we gain people, management and new people will actually care about adding new scripts and improving the server, if I was the developer working on this server, there would be nothing to motivate me to start implementing new scripts. I would have lost hope by now.


I am actually surprised that there is people actually still download a multiplayer client from 2015 for this game, I am starting to believe that this is fake, is it that popular that 17 people today downloaded it? WHAT?



I am sorry if my images are too big.

[JackDockz]

Ayy Cjay what's your discord man?

For T3, I believe what kept the mods popularity up was the fact that it was supplied along with cracked Gta 4 which t4 is not.
T3 doesn't have any servers anymore afaik. The problem with T4 is that it ain't supplied with cracked games.

Advertising is not easy and there would rarely be people who will play Gta 4 instead of Gta 5 which has a much more active community and development.

I think whatever is left of Gta 4 online community should stick to one good client be it t4 or citizeniv.

[psyron]

coz its time to dump ivmp and move on to fivem.

[KEKW]

Name one good thing about IVMP.  I'll wait.

That's not what I'm saying, let me repeat myself. I'm talking about in general, what happens in ivmp. You're talking about Rp events that are organized/held once a week or so. This is a fact, also, the organized RP is usually lcpd ceremony, car show, and some other events, it gets kinda boring. You're saying that I have missed out on stuff yet I have been playing a lot, almost every day in the past and alll all I have seen is evading ts or some shitty bank robbery rp which end up in a shootout. There are many other players who confirm my statement as well, considering that you have been banned for a few months, you won't be able to know.

T4 client, and who ever you are don't hide behind new username, do sign your comment while you are waiting

[Kowalski.]

I mean this with no offense at all:

IV:MP T4 is certainly improved from T3, but still isn't as good as CitizenIV. CitizenIV allows for custom modding which can enhance the experience (even though it's not 100% necessary), perfect sync like single-player (which I've heard from other players) to name a few. I am not degrading the efforts made by Armelin to develop IV:MP T4, it's a nice client, but I'm rather stating the facts about how CitizenIV may provide a more enjoyable game experience.

[KJ_deactivated]

For me, it was interesting while I discovered that cars cant be broken like in a single player. Also, I had to find a way to install liberty city stories to get in the server, not a clean GTA version that I already own. So that killed my interest in joining. So there is nothing with leadership and also admins, the problem is that IVMP has no stable client for full features but probably I'm wrong with this all but that's my opinion.

[Jones3106]

Since the server required EFLC to play instead of simple GTA 4, I gave up but after a while I got EFLC and though of joining the server. At first, I mostly had to run on foot since there werent any map icons for vehicles and so most of the times I could not find any vehicle. I tried doing some jobs but there wasnt much information on how to do it. I tried asking the other players about it but none of them would help me. That made me lose interest for IV:MP and I just moved back to SA:MP.

So for newcomers you suggest that server prints a message to try /tutorial? (which opens a GUI where you can choose to do whatever you want to learn with rewards)

EDIT: And presumably the script would stop as soon as you acquire a passport?

Why don't you try it yourself? I have tried but outsiders just fuck it up by advertising Citizen and 1star rating T4 or not caring at all. And the few that do want to give it a try get instantly demotivated whenever they see that servers are empty or when there is barely anything fun to do in the server alone. In RS1.8 the system was more simple and people would grind that way and keep server alive in dark times but even that's gone now with the complicated scripts that had roleplay and working together in mind rather than doing it on your own (multiple biz? higher tax, the HQ was forcing people to cooperate with others rather than one man army)

Proof of spreading #1
Proof of spreading #2 (also give attention to the comments here)
Not to mention countless of videos about our server by the entire community over the years.

[JackDockz]

Kerrar is right imo

-> Grinders left cuz rewards dropped
-> Advertising is no use. Citizen is a superior client with more developers and more features and it can run all EFLC CONTENT IN GTA 4 ITSELF. So, it doesn't need EFLC itself and anyone with regular iv can play with anyone.
Advertising t4 on bigger platforms will make people comment about citizeniv and lets not talk about no players in t4.
T3 is completely dead according to my knowledge aswell.
-> GTA 4 itself is not as popular as Samp or Gta 5 since it lies literally in between the two.
