I like how I've spent my entire day on your gang base and you're over here acting like a 4-year-old who feels entitled to the valuable time of people who fucking volunteer to make a game for him.

 

ngl didnt read anything but this, not my base as my s1 gang is wfb, but again again again your just not fucking understanding what im saying. i dont know if its you coding what you wnat or mako telling you what to code, nor do i care, i want to know why shit that the players ask for doesnt get added in? every time i ask this question i get told the same bullshit "theyre volunteered not payed" then why did they fucking apply if they werent gonna do anything?

the server hasnt had crashing problems like this ever until kind of recently, literally reminding me of how much asylum used to crash, dont think adding a whole new taxi system is the way to go answering that one. also considering the new evidence locker crashed the server every time it blew, just another reason i think its dev sided the server crash.

fuck off with ur paragraphs trying to look smart do something useful

out of curiosity who asked for the taxi system n fucking why, hatchbacks are 30k and the probability of someone being stranded and needing a taxi is less then 5%.

congrats whoever coded this, you coded something thatll be fucked around with for a month and completely forgotten about.

the dev work is good so no hate on the devs, just hating on the people who make them code dumb shit like a whole taxi system instead of the gangbase update or the s3 invasion update.

ily man, but youre one of the problems. your not bad, just inactive. i understand what your doing, life, but we've been wanting updates and have been receiving anything but, its just frustrating when no one that has power listens and just do what they want.

At the risk of having my head bitten off, in my experience the taxi system can be a source of excellent roleplay scenarios, and also a fun way to help new players when they get stuck somewhere or when they need help finding their way around. And yes, there's plenty of potential for people to exploit it, either by robbing the taxi drivers or the customers. But even that at least provides more opportunities for people to interact in this game, which I think is good. When you send a taxi request, you never quite know which way it's gonna go, and whether you'll even get a response, and when you receive a request, you never quite know what kind of people you're going to be serving. And that's terrific fun.

Back-end infrastructure changes are the only way we're going to move past the performance issues we're seeing these days. If you knew the amount of time that was being invested to deliver you the game you play, and how little reward there is for it, I don't think you'd be behaving like this.

"futurecept", the new I/O backend, was the culmination of 500+ hours of work, and has grown to ~1/5 the size of the mission as a whole in terms of lines of code, at least. With it, we are seeing tangible benefits, including 7500% performance increases in some functionality. Changes of this size are going to have some growing pains, even with the literal 50+ hours spent on just fucking testing.

If you want to do the work, be my fucking guest. Until then, why don't you try to work with us instead of just wandering around like a  whiny twat? I refuse to believe you're being 100% serious here; I don't think anyone can have that few brain cells.

I'm sorry for coming off unprofessionally here, but but pouring a bunch of my life into thankless shit and then getting told off by the person I'm trying to help is a bit of a motivation killer my dude.

Comparatively to things like "futurecept", the taxi system took one of our guys little more than an afternoon. Are there some inefficiencies in our processes that cause things to still take longer to get released even though they were developed quickly? Sure. But, I think you're misunderstanding how much development time goes in to various things. The taxi system took very little effort, from a very small amount of the team. The gang base changes that are in progress required reworking something in order to get the result that you desired; rather than just half-assing it, we're putting the work in to do it correctly so that it's a system we can work with going forward. Even if some of these smaller features were taking up as much of our effort as you seem to think, they're important to someone, which is why they decided to pick up that task. If you want to take it upon yourself to sit in TeamSpeak with me all day and work through the issues on gang base to accelerate the process, you're more than welcome to do so, but until you're willing to put the effort in to be a team member instead of just a third party advisor/complainer, then I don't really see you having any room to continue opening your mouth.

Hopefully this literature is more your speed. https://americanliterature.com/childrens-stories/the-little-red-hen

Most of this server, especially anyone who's done any even moderate amount of coding, appreciates the mind numbing work you guys do to drag this game's fun into almost a decade after its launch.  I apologize on behalf of anyone giving you shit.  Most of us don't think like this.  We appreciate the entire dev team.

Taxi was great.  The problem is people on this server have trouble seeing that other people enjoy playing it differently than they do.  
I feel like some of these people are genuinely surprised to find out that that server 1 exists outside of gangbase events.

People enjoying the game differently than you, are valid members of the community.  People who are less skilled are equally valid to the skilled players.  

 

Hell, if anything, skilled players on this server are worth less than unskilled players because they get all the events tailored to them, and put them out of reach of less skilled players, and then the skilled players who set the bar so high just fuck off and leave everyone else to roleplay as taxi drivers and farm copper.
