Can we get an update on the next DRP update for the renovated inventory system before it's wiped?

🎉🚀 MASSIVE UPDATE INCOMING – @everyone 🚀🎉 New years will mark a brand new page in the book for our DarkRP server, much like in 2019 when we introduced a leveling system and tripled the number of jobs available on our almost ENTIRELY vanilla server with 10mb of content. This year, I feel like the time has come (after 10 years almost of uptime) to get out of our "Vanilla" status and provide one of the biggest overhauls in our server's history, and i'm super excited to share the details with you.

 

🗓️ Between now and New Year’s (January 1st), I cannot stress enough that you guys need to make sure you use up every last item in your inventory – because we’ll soon be saying goodbye to the old unboxing and inventory system, and migrating to a brand-new system.

 

THIS ISN'T just a random wipe and switch to a new system; it’s a complete revamp. I've spent the past little while surveying players and gathering your feedback, and decided to deliver a few long-requested features that will make your experience much better:

 

✨ ALL-new Unboxing System – including weapon stats and rarity tiers just like our Star Wars servers: Common | Uncommon | Rare | Epic | Legendary | Interstellar Weapons will feel more rewarding than ever, with clear progression and unlocks along the way

 

. 🏰 Our classic Party System (RIP 2015-2024) will be retired. Being replaced with a PERMANENT Clan System! Clan will again be PERMANENT, with leveling, unlocks, and exclusive rewards to build you and your friends' commitment to playing the server together.

 

🛑AGAIN🛑 DON'T HOARD YOUR INVENTORY/UNBOX ITEMS – spend, trade, and use up everything you’ve got! Our next biggest update is around the corner!

 

Firstly, there are way too many GG discords to keep track of. I'm in the GG DRP Staff, DRP Garnet Gaming, and Garnet Gaming . Net discords and only the DRP Garnet Gaming discord was posted this by Nutter, and not on the forums or anywhere else. This only lets people in a single discord server of GG to know what's happening on the server. 

 

Secondly, this eludes to our inventories being wiped unless stated by Nutter. Is out Bank safe? Roaming Inventory Pickup inventory? Unbox Inventory? Many of us have been accumulating items for years now, I just finally unboxxed a matador after 3 years of playing on the server and now I don't know if that might be gone. There's many players who have accumulated items over time who may now potentially have their inventories wiped because of this, but was only posted in a single GG discord server that many might not be in. From what I've linked below, it seems ANY ITEM in your inventory that you have will be gone (bank, inv, and unbox inv) "unless used". Because "you gotta use them" is incredibly vague for an update that is coming in less than 2 weeks to the general masses.

I don't have a lot in my inventory, maybe a million in random weapons + 2x rpgs, 2x GL's, and 1 matador, but if those are going to be gone come this new update I'm going to be really pissed off. The fact that this new update was posted on Dec 21 to ONE DISCORD CHANNEL which perhaps a fraction of the players know about also strikes me wrong as well. Why is it that news about GG servers has to happen between whispers is beyond me, but this surely should have been posted on the forums as well for such a major change to the inventory system which affects so many players on the most popular garnet server.

 

 I don't know why this vague update of "don't hoard your weapons!" is only posted in a single 1/6 GG discord seems to validate the change but as a player on the server this isn't right for us who have spent many hours accumulating fake currency on a multiplayer game to obtain hard to get items just to have them disappear out of nowhere. I'm all for updates to the inventory and unbox system but I don't feel like as far as we are eluded to that "use it or lose it" is the way to go without some kind of compensation for those who have spent thousands of hours on the server. 

 

Heres a few other complimentary screenshots from the recent posting:

At least for myself, I don't give a shit about the value of a Matador, but what I do care about is the amount of hours it took me to unlock one myself which was 3,000 hours + on the server and can show in the video below with the time stamp from 3 months ago. 

 

 

 

I hate to be the asshole that points this out, but as a gaming community I really do think that transparency regarding this to be a huge deal for Garnet Gaming considering it was only posted in a single discord out of however many that you currently manage, which also goes into players on the server spreading rumors and paranoia and whatnot. 

 

Even for myself, and from trying to catch up on what has been posted to reasonably assume that items that I've finally unlocked after 3000+ hrs on the server are going to be deleted to a new system seems absolutely wrong for no reason other than saying you've improved a system.  Why do players have any reason to play on the server and grind for hard to obtain items if they're going to be wiped?

Corolla, I think you are on an incredibly unreasonable level of overreaction with that statement - with that being said, the update was canceled and I have shifted my  focus to other Garnet servers - you and others can continue holding onto your "valued virtual items" in your inventories 😄!

 

I do have however to comment on your severe overreaction, you act as though you've "finally unlocked items after 3000+ hours on the server" but in reality- every single item you unlock can be unlocked in under an hour on the server with some luck - which is one of the many flaws I was going to fix with the new system, allowing players actual end-game experience by making there be dozens of variants to all weapons. I think you're being ignorant if you act like "it seems absolutely wrong for no reason other than an improved system" - what is there to do now other than unbox a few explosives and sit in a base all day? the server was dying before christmas because of people with this mentality, and it'll die again.

stop bitching and be excited theres new shit to grind. it also shouldnt take u over 3000 hours to get a explosive weapon 💀

As much as I think you've fucked your reputation on the forums with this attitude, you are 10000000% on-point this time lmao "3000 hours" is such a crazy reach/overexaggerating, or maybe a flat-out lie for attention

ill sacrifice my account on the forums to shame the people who are detrimental to the server health, the content your looking to put in is good. 

 

There’s no interest to play vanilla as they’re used to be. And if the server is gonna last then change is something players gotta get used to.

As someone who was a former "collector" of items on the server, it gets to a point where sitting around with them not using them is hella boring. Don't be selfish and actually try to see the server succeed and grow this guy has a lot on his hands constantly and offering to revamp an entire system should be exciting. Sticking with the old is clearly not working my friend.
