You wouldn't hear me complain about this, would +1 without a second thought.

I'm not saying they're a "crutch" for the less-skilled people, but completely negating any sort of Armor / Heli for their price is just ridiculous. If Bamf doesn't nerf the damage, he should double the price.

Even as a DS member, I'm getting tired of seeing RPGs at every cartel and turf because of their strength. Just nerf them already please.

Increasing cost of loadouts will only make people even more tied to them than they already are. If a standard loadout (MK / CSAT + Tac Vest / Smokes / Y) suddenly goes up to 35k+ (just a random semi-high number), people will be all the saltier when they get killed / caught by cops and less inclined to re-kit back up. New players won't want to buy expensive loadouts thus hindering the growth of rebel activity on the servers.

Confused why this seems to be a surprise for you No RPGs no win.

it's all good! not like it makes a difference for DS. xd

@Roice How did you go from this vv to have Daddy's Darlings facing the winner of Jeep Guild v Envy? Wouldn't you just remove Ambition, move Daddy's Darlings to semis to face the winner of APD v Oblivion since they're on the bottom half of the bracket?

I feel like the 2 options here are extremely skewed towards "mass unban." You're saying it has to be all or nothing. There are some people who don't deserve another chance, and I'm sure there are some who do. Unbanning every single person could literally put this community on a fast track to being down to only 1 server. Sure, there might be a boost for a week or two, but being on the receiving end of someone cheating / exploiting / using 3rd party apps will kill this server quicker than DS RPGing everything in sight. I +1 this idea here People who are repeat perm'ers / caught cheating / using 3rd party apps don't deserve another chance, they can stay gone.

Guess we have different views then; RPGs are a strategy now so if a gang member RPGs your Ifrit wiping the fight, well, my gang has won that cartel fight. It's likely we'll have the cartel capped by the time you can come back so now I/rest of my gang can leave and do drug runs / bank/fed/prison break / cap a different cartel. You tried bringing an Ifrit to a cartel, DS soandso countered with an RPG and it connected, GGs and GFs in sidechat.

#1: I wouldn't +1 a removal of RPGs, but I do +1 a price increase. Some people (DS and non-DS) have been here a while and have accumulated a good chunk of money on Asylum. RPGs / vests / speed bombs are end-game items that people choose to spend their money on to have some fun, but I do feel they're too cheap for what they do. Also, why should cartels be limited to straight-up gunplay @Steve ? Not trying to be toxic, just a genuine question. If someone whiffs an RPG (which happens plenty) that's 30k down the drain; if that person dies before getting to fire off their RPG, that's an 70k+ loadout gone if they aren't rez'd. #2: Big #1. #3: Only illegal vehicles. It'd be too much IMO if they seized your illegal contraband ($$) and then received money for the vehicle itself. Cops will do it for the extra $$ and just to spite you. #4: Kinda torn on this one. Running around Kavala with a PO7 making a few quick bucks is a viable strategy, and the infamy can add up pretty quickly. Keeping a lower minimum also helps new bounty hunters "get their feet wet." #5: Big big big +1. I've already asked about this And was told by Mitch it could/would be looked at but he left before anything came about @Gen. Henry Arnold would removing doors bring back 150 inventory space?

Accepted for interview, will PM you the TS.

Like @TryHardSqueaker said, you're not going to un-see them from cartels. This Qillin issue is almost a double-whammy. Not only are they mini-tanks and cheap, but RPGs are becoming popular at cartels (not just a DS thing anymore) and that means Ifrits are a no-go. Sticking with the current situation we are at now = cartels become a bit stale and it's just shoot-and-scoot with Qillins. No other vehicle can compete with the Qillin. Increasing price of Qillin / Prowler = I still think you'd see em plenty; DS will still RPG them without a second thought (xd) and call it worth. Making Qillins / Prowlers illegal = you'll likely only see them for cartels or small drug runs (if 150 inventory space is brought back). Increasing the cost of RPGs / launchers (right now, T4 community goals / without Arms and owning 1 turf - Launcher $7,500, rocket $30,000 is pretty damn cheap for their power IMO) = some smaller gangs might not be able to use em daily, but you'll still see em everyday from DS which I know the entire community hates lol. The above points are just my thoughts for when DS does show up to a fight and what I've observed. I'm sure it's a bit different when you're (constantly) on the receiving end of DS vests / RPGs / speed bombs so I don't see these things as cancerous as others possibly do.

I believe the cartel fighting meta has changed though since the introduction of Qillins / Prowlers / RPGs. Keeping track of 1 Ifrit and where it drops / is roaming is far easier than trying to keep track of 4/5 separate Qillins / Prowlers. Also, if you screw up driving an Ifrit, someone with a good shot can make you pay big time. At the same time, anyone on Server 2 knows it's not a good idea to pull an Ifrit if Drunk Squad is on the server; some members love their RPGs too much. Pulling separate Qillins is a counterbalance to losing a cartel fight in one RPG blast. Players can now 'shoot-and-scoot' thanks to the Qillin being a mini tank. I'd personally +1 a price increase of Qillins / Prowlers (revert the inventory space nerf) and increased cost of RPGs as they're quite cheap (with Tier 4 community goals) for their respective power. Just my 2 cents from a DS mong @TryHardSqueaker Big +1 on "Add the ability to claim illegal vehicles at chop shop for 50% of the vehicles cost. " Why not any vehicle minus the ghost hawk / strider (possibly police hunters)?

Glad to see you're such a big fan of Drunk Squad! You'll pass @Tom as 'Drunk Squad's #1 Fan' in no time!

Imagine removing double-stacking from the community rewards and replacing it with "Qillin will have 150 inventory space"

Oh look, another buff to cops

Application denied, good luck finding a gang. RECRUITMENT IS STILL CLOSED AT THIS TIME.

mindblown.gif There's "letting the adrenaline get to you" but that's just another level. Unprofessionalism to the max there.

holy smoly

Didn't watch the fight so I don't know what happened. EDIT: Sportscenter comin in clutch, must have taken them a sec to write it up. Okay, I am caught up.

Twitter blowing up over whatever happened, but nobody saying what happened.
