Definitely +1 for constables getting marked prowler. It can suck when you're stuck with nothing but hatches (Cause let's be honest, none of the other vehicles constable can get are useful, they're all strictly worse than the hatch)

The jet ski thing is very much not my point. Like I said, it's funny. But the majority of people will quit if that shit happens when they are new. Imagine hopping on the game. You run 30 feet down kavala and then you hear "hands up or die." You get downed cause you don't know how to put your hands up. Then your screen turns black and you hear someone taking their greasy hands out of their doritos bag to hit the push to talk to tell you they're gonna have some fun. 3 minutes of driving later you get unblindfolded and thrown on a jet ski to go straight. You now have to sit there for 10 minutes doing nothing. On a video game. Do you guys really think shit like that makes people want to play this? lol I promise you right now players having a negative experience in the first hour or day of playing is the #1 reason they leave. -
A problem on servers for all games, especially in "RP" servers, is trolls who aren't there for RP at all. There are so many ways for people to troll your gameplay experience. For example, earlier I was kidnapped and thrown onto a jetski and it was driven off into the ocean for me to sit there and wait 10 minutes. Wow, so fun. Engaging gameplay. I can't wait to do it again. Why is that allowed? Sure, I found it funny for a moment, then I just tabbed out for the remaining few minutes. But how would a new player react? Does anyone think for 5 seconds that a new player would experience that and not immediately leave and never play again? This just hurts the servers playerbase. I don't understand why it's allowed under the guise of "RP"

I've been playing on and off since 2016, I'm not new. And I'm not saying that new players should instantly be able to go make meth. My complaint is mainly the population who just go around in full rebel gear and don't do any RP, they just kill whoever and take everything. Nothing is fun about that when *all* rebels do that. As for doing legal things, I am fine with how much they net you, mostly. The problem is if a rebel sees a truck at all, they will stop you. It's almost as dangerous doing legal activities as illegal ones. And buying guns for new players is a waste of money, they will get smoked by experienced players. Again I have no issues with money. I had plenty before the wipe from playing for 8 years and in general I don't spend my money on anything. I only spend on a house for scotch and vehicles to make money. It's the new player experience I am talking about here. It's just a consistent shitty experience. Clearly the owners/admins have tried to do something with the passive mode thing, so my opinion isn't outrageous. But I think it's not enough. Perhaps you should be able to be in passive mode until you've made your first 100k. That way new players can learn a lot of basics before being swarmed by a clan every time they spawn. I've been a cop since 2017, though I lost it to inactivity so I'm a cadet now. But again these complaints aren't for me (Except for the lack of RP, I think that really brings down the game mode)

So, this is something that has always been a problem imo. I know I'll probably catch shit for this, but idc. The people who sweat, buy a ton of rebel gear, and then just go around shooting everyone they see (Not RDM, but within rules) It's helping to kill the game mode and always has, but people just deny it. This is RP, not call of duty. If you wanna just shoot people, play cod or battlefield. I've gotten 10 friends to try altis life with me in the last 8 years. EVERY single one has quit within a day because of people just going around RDMing, or running around with their pistol out "Hands up or die" every time they see someone. You try to make some money at anything illegal, and there is *ALWAYS* a full geared sweat who has been sitting there watching youtube videos for 2 hours just waiting for people to shoot with zero RP or anything. So your new friends experience is waiting around, driving for 15 minutes, sitting AFK while waiting for heroin, then driving for 5 minutes, then instantly killed by someone with 50k in gear. So, the last resort is to do legal things like mining or oil running. I usually just do oil. But then you gotta drive around in this slow ass fuel truck, you finally get some oil, maybe you finish a run, you get like 40k. That's not too bad, I guess. But at any point during that if some rebel player spots you, they WILL initiate and take your shit. It's not even RP, everything is just "hands up or die gimme your shit haha I blew your truck up nerd" And EVEN if you complete an oil run and process it without someone hands upping you, you could always lag out or have someone VDM or RDM you. It happens, and it really sucks. Yes, you can report it. But do I really feel like always having a recording software running to record 5 minutes, recording it, then uploading that shit to youtube and filing a report? It's so much work when you just want to play the game. it's just griefing. Rebels doing that shit has its place in altis life/RP, don't get me wrong. But the fact that almost every encounter is like this... And as I said, yes, you can run oil and be somewhat safe (And pray that you don't randomly get VDMed or something) but that's not a solution to the overall problem of these players who don't give a single shit about RP and just want to kill people. Getting robbed for your shit by a group of heavily armed thugs shouldn't be the standard encounter, it should be a rarity. Imagine an altis life where you've done 3 runs and on the fourth you get run off the road by 2 quilins full of armed guys. They say "Give us half your product and we let you live, and won't bother your next run" or maybe even "give us 25% of every run and we'll even protect you if you message us you need help" Imagine that? Actual RP. Then it would even be fun to be robbed. Instead it's just "hands up or die" then you lose everything you've got (so no point in even trying to RP) or you die... and lose everything. It is just not fun. I'm tired of not having friends to play this with because the new player experience is just so atrocious.

You say that but earlier I had 6 6.5mm bullets and all to the chest/arm didn't kill someone, but if I had 30 I would have killed them.

I disagree. Just about all the videos like that you see have the same type of music, and I don't think it fits at all.
