Future of FL/ FL Dying (18/75)

[Conn]

I think daily rewards is good in theory but in practice it is redundant. It is not the fact that FL cannot make people stay, it is very apparent that when a player has first gotten the first few hours he will accumulate many more in the following weeks.

I don't think it is going to tackle the problem and merely a short-sighted solution.

You keep mentioning that we need to reduce content sizes, but I think that stripping stuff we already have is pointless, because a lot of it is used. The downloads come from workshop mainly, and there's really not a shitton of content compared to some of the DarkRP servers I've seen that have every pack under the sun.

Baby-steps, it's not possible to do everything at once, and something that might even bring a few more players on every day isn't a bad thing?

It is not the concept of 'stripping' content that first comes to mind when suggesting such a matter. 

Reducing content size can also be replacing high polygon models with models that are already downloaded when you install the game. Not only are you reducing content size but increasing performance. 

"...stripping stuff that we already have is pointless, because a lot of it is used."
This sentence doesn't make a lot of sense. 
Stripping stuff that we already have? Are you implying that the only thing that is not pointless is stripping stuff that we DON'T have?

It also goes without saying that if we we're to 'strip' anything in the first place, it would be content that was not being used...



"The downloads come from workshop mainly, and there's really not a shitton of content compared to some of the DarkRP servers I've seen that have every pack under the sun."

Here you are comparing DarkRP content size to our size and expecting it to be a valid argument. A DarkRP server with a lot of content should not be your benchmark for evaluating how big our content size should be.

Keep in mind that a lot of people do not have good internet connections. What might take a short time for you to download might take 30 - 60 minutes for someone else. Therefore reducing and maintaining the lowest possible content size is important and something that I know Soul agrees on.

Have started to discuss this with some other devs, who say that there's plenty of content that could be removed or stripped. This would be an extremely big task, though, but its worth having a look at for sure.
