Every update we expect good alongside some disappointment. This update there was nothing really good (besides vendor restock in which Jake sold with the time of announcement, next time leave it to Ulferno mate).
But that isn’t the point. This new combat addition is absolutely terrible. It is like GTA V in Roblox. Minus the fact that 10 bullet headshots to a persons head with mp10 is only about enough to knock down an ARV’s shields. It takes nearly 2 whole mags just to kill people. Every update you guys take the literal definition of inflation and shove it up up our asses. Firstly, it is fair that MET get armour , so no complaints. Secondly. It is fair that civilians have to buy it, no complaints for that either ALTHOUGH it is REALLY expensive. However, this new gun shooting/animations is the cherry on top. There are higher priority things to fix (such as the lighting when it goes extremely dark and you cant see anything) or things such as small bugs like Organisations. These bullets take forever to kill on both sides and constantly buying armour as civilians makes this shit turn into a major gambling scheme controlled by Ulferno. (Will I get to utilise my armour or will I get mag dumped by a random RG on spur road who is a bit trigger happy?). Either way the guns feel weaker. NOW, the major concern is the limited ammo. Now, I am all for limited ammo but it has just not been done well. Here are all my points regarding why this update sucks:
The ammo boxes we place down we can’t pick back up and therefore we are unable to use it as a portable restock. Even then, it disappears after a while (no complaints but makes roof raiding a non existent thing). 1 per person just for it to run out after shooting about 9 officers down.
Funding armour on civilian is like living in London. Requires you to have like 3 jobs and no food on the table in order to even be able to afford it and there is simply not enough sources of making money in this game to do this. Also, the armour takes like a whole mag to take out now. It simply sucks and you guys want to keep the game alive but at this rate you are practical on your knees pleading for everyone to stop playing.
Combat as a whole sucks. The animations are cool and all but the damage of the firearms combined with the vest sucks. It is super buggy and we are better of all picking up knives and slashing away at each other since that is less buggy and can actually guarantee a fair fight.
Summary for the lazy people :my point is, the guns feel weaker, animations are so ass, update is buggy. Revert the game to the old style of combat. It was actually enjoyable.
Sort of ideas to fix this:
Go back to old combat style
Nerf shields for ARVS to 20%
Nerf shields of MO19 to 35%
Nerd Shields of TST to 50%
(RMP combats + GG Combats to 30)
OR Just make portable ammo boxes or remove it as a whole.
I completely agree with some of your points as combat is terrible now, but I don’t agree with lowering shields as they are all exactly the same (Yes, MO19 get higher shields as they are a firearms specialist division who mainly go for firearm incidents).
What the hell is this game, mate?! Civs are set up to lose, forced to burn cash on gear unless you’ve got perm guns. Meanwhile, on MET, you just work, rake in tons of money, and call it a day. Civs? Spend, spend, spend—it’s a joke! The MET always win because of this broken system. The bulletproof vests are absurd—M019 takes an entire mag to kill, then you’re stuck reloading your mags. Here’s the fix: scale vests to 15% protection for ARV, 25% for M019, and 35% for TST. This keeps it balanced without needing to dump a giant bloody magazine into one guy. And don’t get me started on ammo costs making it even harder to fight back. Sort this mess out! Not to even mention the fact that divisional’s can just refresh there inventory almost anywhere in the map and boom they get all there shields back.
don’t play civ then I don’t complain when I’m on civ because I couldn’t care less about spending money I don’t have, there is multiple ways to have fun in the game other than playing civilian shooting up other teams just to be arrested and complain that you are losing your weapons you spend money on, it is YOUR choice what you spend your own money on, if you don’t want to keep losing your “hard earned” money in a Roblox game then either don’t play the game at all or play on a different team that gets paid. I do understand that MET gets more love than civilian but honestly we cant all get what we want so just deal with it.
I do like it too but best for gun attachments would be that we could use third person (as we were using before this update). Maybe just make attachments like flashlight or lasers.
Attachments of anything should actually improve the gun. Such as better grips for less recoil or bigger mag etc. but even then not make much of a difference to keep it balanced.
I feel like the problem lays in how well the shield is balanced compared to the actual damage a gun deals. Yes, with extra armor, police will have it easier killing armed suspects - obvious. But if you take the fact that it takes almost 2 magazines to kill a single person as a civilian is just unbalanced. Especially when police can just hop out of their car, run into the open and go for PAVA without any serious consequences because the armor just blocks it all off, which is unrealistic in my opinion. I feel like there are some options on how to resolve this.
Make armor buyable for police and not making them spawn with it directly.
Make armor less strong
Make armor only apply for body shots (headshots, shots to limbs instantly affect health and not the armor itself)
Just remove the armor in general which wouldnt be the best option considering a lot of work was done by adding it in the first place
Personally, option 1 and 3 are the best in my eyes, but thats just my opinion. You could argue that the game isnt made for just shooting others as a civilian and shouldnt be like GTA on roblox. But with this update (gun attachments, armor vests, etc.) it feels more like GTA on roblox, which I dont really see as a problem. Shooting and fighting is a big part of the game, if not the biggest part. I like the gun attachments (even though with the silencer that just sounds the same for each gun), but the armor is just ruining at some point. I dont say you should revert the whole update, but just balance the things that have shown unbalanced in the eyes of the community.
And if someone says: “Yeah, civilians can just buy 100% shield what police dont have access to except TST.”, yes its true, however that doesnt change the fact that gun fights are just unrealistic in general and the problem in my eyes is more in the new meta of just running into the open with PAVA and then not even bleeding in 9/10 situations. With that beeing said, I like the update overall, but the new weapon/fighting dynamic is kinda unbalanced in my eyes.
and I agree to this statement. I can’t work 3 jobs either, this inflation is getting to me!
