its not that we are waiting till 7.5 its that it just takes that long, if its ready in 7.4 we will switch then.

what puddles said^ Waiting any longer will not build hype it will just let pop dwindle down, I believe many people would rather play on 4.5 mods than what we have rn until 7.5 is ready

They already told us map is changing 7.5

I know... The map needs to change ASAP

So as we all can see the server is losing population and people are losing interest in playing. Personally I think this is because of the lack of engaging content, and the map primarily. People do not like the map because it is simply to big and hard to navigate with the border. The entire left side of the map is useless dead space (10km x 20km) 
 

THE BORDER: The Border is one of the largest issues with the map, Illegally cross? Then you get spiked immediately and have 15 BP chasing you down to the ends of the earth ANDDDD you get sent to jail for 25 minutes if you get caught. On a map like taki border makes a lot more sense, you are risking next to nothing by dying/fighting at the border. Whereas on anzus you are risking a lot more getting into small meaningless fights at the border where you are risking around 10-20k for a kit along with 25-45 minutes (counting time to rekit). If you are one of the many people on anzus that choose to do runs as I have been told by multiple of the top grinders they simply log off when border is manned. 

Solution on how to make this work?:

So how could we fix the issues I mentioned above? 
I think changing the map off of texas to something like Kings County/Los Diablos, Kamdan, Lakeside or some similar map that people LIKE . I know the devs have worked hard on the map but it really just needs to go. The border is just an annoyance that makes civs not want to even try to cross it. Everything is so far apart that it deters people from wanting to even go to different events (the cap zones in the south or the one in narnia to the west). 

Here is a picture of the current map and the amount of it that is regularly used:

Fixes for the above mentioned problems would be:
Smaller map that is well made(no hills and bumps everywhere, roads don't have 3000 guardrails and barriers in illogical or just annoying areas [3.0 is a prime example of a goated map])
For cap zones: Have them all along one road with a rebel near that road as well (all cap zones should be within 2km of rebel)

I know oliver has all the old modpacks making it so that something as small as just putting up the server with old mods can be done. 

What jake said ^ having the drops south of the border makes everyone not want to do them

it would have to be made well but +1 if it is done so it is actually push able and not just 2 1 foot wide ramps to get on.

just noticed vaulting is insanely slow so lets buff that again as well

2.0 

it was not possible in 2.0, there was a bug that would drop peoples guns and randoms would run up and steal them... but that was a bug

this has never happened and should never happen -1

Not sure you could get it to work on the mdt like that, however it might be possible to where the pco can draw on the map and everyone can see it. Mario would be the man that would know if it's possilbe 

only way i can see it is if PD gets set to bluefor again but that would require a lot of changes

I dont understand what this is supposed to show?

 

GLM are more than happy to do less than 8 man majors

2 minutes ago, Cory said:

The biggest issue, is there isnt enough smaller gangs to do the smaller majors, you're not going to do an 8 man small art cal or 8 man car dealership, when people do majors they're doing it with 8 and want it to be the most profitable. If you change the payout people will still trigger the same majors cause people dont care about the money or atleast I dont and i know majority of GLM dont. 

10 minutes ago, Jimmy Corvo said:

My point is this: If you make this change, people will still do the same 3 majors because they are the only ones that are winnable BUT when the pay-out goes too low they will just simply not do any major and log off because there isn't really anything else for PVPers to do. 

 

Were you on for the Baja raid? There was at least 10 at the raid when it started and like I say 25 including JTF online. 

I'm not saying cop numbers aren't going down, they are, but so are civ numbers. The % of cops online compared to population is still USUALLY the same as last month.

I was on for the end of it when GLM and CTRG started fighting, and yes there were a lot of cops on for that and as you say in general the % is the same I think my point still stands.

What reason do I have to lie about how many cops I have seen on hahahaha. People play at different times. The other night there were around 20-25 when the Baja warehouse raid happened.

This was last month and its the only screenshot I have as some form of evidence: 

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1216427488574701648/1228087372059508766/image.png?ex=663de23e&is=663c90be&hm=b457f7cd8e518a9a013c553b693cd666f3b3e8ad11ed88f52bf6718de5219c4c&(back when server had 100 people on half of them were cops)

 

I am not trying to call you a liar here but personally as a cop the most I have seen online was 16 and that was for a few hours in the evening for EU and late afternoon for NA.

My point is there are people complaining about not having majors to do, when there are probably 25 majors on anzus of which I listed all the majors that require 10 or less cops. Cops are getting tired of going to the same three majors over and over again and are losing drive to play. When cops log off civs cant do any crime so then they log off. 
Yeah the cops might log back on later that day or the next day but when they have to deal with the same boring ass holds then they want to play less and less. 
Of course things have to be fun for both sides but at the current moment for most people in PD going to majors is not fun or entertaining and is just something that takes 15-20 minutes where they will probably just have to push into some guy peaking a doorway that they just have to hope he doesn't aim at them.

tbf there is like 2 hours in a day now where there is more then 10 cops on

The reason for majors being repeated isn't about the money for us atleast, but due to the fact you cannot trigger others due to police limitations.

12 hours ago, Cory said:

its fine how it is, milship payout start is 240k after the first hit its 190 and the second one is 150 as kath said its all because there is little to no cops on 

So they are just lying? @Jimmy Corvo

Killing cop population? I was online the other day and there were 35 people on the server and 20 of them were Cop/JTF...

u saw 20 cops on?

Good way to kill the server even more

I really do not think this will kill the server anymore than having to respond to the same 3 majors already is killing cop population. 

There is currently a system in place that lowers the cuts of majors each time they are hit in a restart. I am simply suggesting that the amount they are cut is increased to try and push people to do different majors.

ORRRR HOW ABOUT THIS!!!! INCREASE THE PAYOUT OF EVERY OTHER MAJOR INSTEAD OF THE ONES DONE THE MOST!!! LETS NOT PUNISH ANYONE!!! THANK YOU!!! -1111

Major cuts already have increased by a minimum of 15%. (https://discord.com/channels/421117746743476244/551763227567063050/1233550736449605824) I agree with you in that decreasing payout for certain majors would be a good way to try and get people to hit other majors but it has pretty much already been done (the majors that were buffed are still hardly hit at all)

The thing is I dont think it is fine as is because it is not enough to push people to try other majors

Here are all the majors that require 10 or less cops: 
Milship requires 10 cops
Other majors that require 10 cops or less are:
Museum: 10
Jewllery Store Vault: 10 
Labs: 10
Cargo: 10
National Bank: 10
Breadville Casino: 10
Midlands: 10
Silver Rush Casino: 8
