server state v34

[BasicallyMental]

Are you brain dead or just straight freaking retarted? How does a map change mean we can not aggressive rp. V2D is blantantly a better map that is backed up by the amount of players. You’re saying that it is being tested however how freaking long do we need for a car to be “tested” it doesn’t take a month.

Firstly, thank you for your kind words. However to answer your question, i'm not brain dead, nor retarded.
If you can name a part where I said you cannot AggRP on this new map i'll PayPal you a tenner. The only reason you want V2D back is so you can create AggRP bases in area's that are natural doomforts, something this new map lacks. You are going on about this Passive Squad, or some shit like that. The map was voted for not chosen by a single person. You are constantly making it out to be like you cannot AggRP on the new map when infact you can but you haven't spent the time looking around and play with different base designs to find another unraidable area, not everything evolves around AggRP sadly.
Cars take as long as they need to take in order to be tested effectively, whether it be a month or be a week. I'd rather a car be thoroughly tested before it's released rather than released half broken. You also forget all this is done in Pollux's spare time, he has other shit to be doing before he releases a car on FL.

Some regular players were given it so he isn’t out of the loop.

Again, dunno if you read my reply or completely ignored everything I said, but the merc was a shit show and the dev's learned not to give it to players. Experienced or not. The new system is to give it to people who can actually be trusted, the staff team. (Trusted with a test car anyways)

Ah of course because there is absolutely no friendship allowed with contributors, devs and admins. Absolutely no benefit to having that vehicle either. Typical rank-inclusivity.

Didn't say friendships weren't allowed. Just stated there's a system that isn't just giving it to friends, but instead the staff team.

"Why would it need to be on the live server?" is the question.

Because the developers need to make sure that it doesn't effect the performance of the majority, and that the car doesn't behave differently on live in comparrison to on Alpha.
A great example of why this is was the Pines map. Performed amazingly on the Alpha server however as soon as it went live with lots of players issues were discovered.

And why exactly would it need to be given to contributors, a few normal users and the admins to test? Surely all it would take is it to be given to one individual to test over a day (high player times / low player times)...

It's almost an incentive for staff to join, kinda benefits us. To be honest darling, I don't know why it would, or infact wouldn't be given to contributors. Wait for Pollux's response to that; a system is a system and if the dev's think contributors should have it then why not
