I recently joined your server and it is clear to me it's very new, and there is a lot of room or improvement.
The very first time I joined, my first reactions went something like this:
So, in short, I really like this server so far.
I have one issue with it though, and that is that the jobs are quite laughable. No, I don't mean you should add any more, because quite frankly you shouldn't unless it's something really worth it. Currently, basicly 50% of all the jobs on the server are VIP. Nothing but a quick, easy and boring cash grab, that's it. If you want to make VIP jobs, that's fine, it'll get more players to donate and you'll have more money to fund your server. But making the only fun jobs VIP is really boring. Why make SWAT VIP? SWAT Leader and/or Sniper are fine as VIP jobs, that's great, but may I suggest removing the paywall behind all the fun jobs like, for instance, a simple SWAT unit? The VIP jobs on the server (such as SWAT and the other thief) have clear advantages over regular players, and that is not the way to do it. I don't want to have to open my wallet just to get that job that nobody else can get so I can become more powerful than them. Certain things like, say, making a VIP job spawn with a better lockpick, but making that lockpick also purchasable with in-game money through normal means as a normal thief would be quite nice.
Another thing which bothers me to hell and back about the jobs is the fact that the police units are limited to 4 players. Only 4? That is a ridiculously small amount. 25 people on the server, half of them going around raiding, stealing, mugging etc. and we have 4 officers, most of whom are probably not even doing they're job correctly either way.
TL;DR: Server's great. Fun. Jobs are laughable.
EDIT I
I'm new here but I looked at some of the applications on the forums, and I am in no place to judge, but I must say there are certain decisions regarding staff applications that I personally don't agree with. I know the staff manager handles most of it, and I know that I don't have a say in it. I'm just a regular player. Just feels like there are some sloppy, bad written applications that are instantly approved without a second of doubt. Just thought you may have wanted some input on that, even if it isn't you that handles the applications.
May I also suggest to allow Adv Dupe 1 to be used by regular players ASAP? Servers that disallow Adv Dupe kills the whole concept of base building and raid defending for me. Spent 2 hours building the perfect base, only to realize you have to leave in 10 minutes? Some would say Adv Dupe is easy to exploit, and it is - but it's also very easy to limit the tool. Adv Dupe is an essential part in basing, to save your creations - imagine spending three hours into an RPG game completing side quests, only for the side quests to reset every single time and never save your progress?
The very first time I joined, my first reactions went something like this:
- Great FPS, rare these days.
- Not pumped full of shit addons. Most servers you join, you'll find yourself running around with batmans and anime prostitues. Not fun.
- Admins aren't utterly handicapped like on most servers.
- It's simple. I really like that.
So, in short, I really like this server so far.
