What Would Make You Like DarkRP? - Garry's Mod

Hi, I'm going to get a DarkRP server in a couple of weeks and I want to make sure that it is DarkRP but that it isn't just another DarkRP with countless crappy jobs (e.g. reporter...) and guns etc. I've read some posts on Facepunch from people saying that without weapons, they would play DarkRP. It's suggestions like that which would be helpful, productive comments and ideas. My thinking on the NO GUNS thing was maybe restrict it to just pistols? I'd also like ideas about how to make other jobs more desirable. Most DarkRP servers I go on are populated by gangsters and gun dealers. So, please post any PRODUCTIVE ideas that you can think of!

no just no you signed up to make this one post what the... well this would be stupid just to pistols because it has to be differnt jobs if we could only get a pistol. then a job would be like a player model changer

I like DarkRP just the way it is, I'd rather not join the incredibly annoying roleplay philosophy that DarkRP could be improved. Whenever I've played on it, I've wanted a completely unserious atmosphere and a high risk of getting deathmatched despite that not being the objective. I'll just wait for the typical Vinze post.

That supports the image of the Dark DM.

Have you ever seen a community as rude and as ignorant as the gaming community? Every other community on the web, be it literature, science, politics, is united by it's enthusiasm for a subject. The gaming community just seems to be a collection of loners who have no social skills and are always striving to be perceived as intellectually superior and look down their noses at everybody else. Stop being so juvenile and pathetic and actually attempt to think and contribute to converstaions. Ugh, what's the point, it's like preaching to the choir.

Here ya go man: 1) Make weak pistols the only weps availab 2) Add something that makes ur community Different. A twist of some sort 3) GOOD JOBS 4) RESPONSIBLE ADMINS 5) The community forms from you. If your a minge. They are.

For the love of god do not make a job "Hitman" or shit like that. A normal Citizen can just set their job to "Hitman" and do the job just as well

[QUOTE=Winters111;23831480]:rant:[/QUOTE] Ok man, let me put it this way. It is my right to express my opinion. And my opinion is Dark RP cannot be hugely improved. You would have to make a new RP gamemode or get really good admins and rules.

I hate role-playing altogether, so no.

My only suggestion is make sure you have responsible admins that are on frequently to keep everything in check.

Less focus on weapons.

plenty of enjoyable everyday things, like coffee.

[QUOTE=ZenX2;23856746]plenty of enjoyable everyday things, like coffee.[/QUOTE] It would be so cool if there were loads of status bars, like hunger, bladder, hygiene, fun and hyperness. It would be so realistic.

A movie theater would be nice to see in town.

Mass genocide of players who dare speak in children voices. That is all, then we can play deathmatch and car races like the good old times, when children had no money.

ive always wanted to play a realistic job with something i can use, Like Radio presenter (Have some kind of radio machine that if someone buys a radio off a saleman they can tune into a number of stations made by players)

If it dissapeared alltogheter.

It's not Dark RP that's bad... It's the idiots that play it.

[QUOTE=spanaren;23977513]If it dissapeared alltogheter.[/QUOTE] This, but if it was spelled properly :P

Make ID locked CP only weapons, remove gun dealer, strip the hud, remove salaries, cut the jobs to simple shit like Citizen, Civil protection and City Administrator/Mayor. Make a /me command to support roleplaying, remove mics, make gun damage extremely low, so that the players will have to roleplay getting shot. Maybe make it so you need to apply for Civil Protection on forums/begging an admin. Bam, you have an excellent DarkRP edit.

Who said i like it ?

Get rid of the Gangster, MobBoss, and any other related classes and instead make things CONSTRUCTIVE such as PC Tech, Car Dealer, Interior Designer, etc. Something along the creative lines where you get paid to be CREATIVE and not kill people, take their shit, and run. Its all the minges that make all these S.W.A.T. teams, Hitman classes, Thugs, Pickpockets, etc that make DarkRP a complete fuck-fest. People yelling RDM or NLR every five seconds, or getting arrested for shit that you didnt even do.

A roleplay server is shaped and formed by it's players. Add something the players like, that they can enjoy and create a great flow of play. That can make a great RP server.... Or something along those lines.

Not telling you that you need Counter Strike after a long download.

Around here, your demographic is mostly 12-18. People in that stage of life tend to have underdeveloped manners and a mean-streak (sorry to generalize). I'm so glad I'm past that. If you stumble upon the rare group of 18+ gamers, it's always different. I don't really like RP at all, but I think a good RP should be less driven by the script & more driven by the users.. so my suggestion is to focus more on having a good staff & keeping the brats out. A group of fun people can have a good session no matter what script is running on the server.
