Feedback thread died of ligma so I'll post an hl2rp screenshot here and attach some unsolicited feedback to it instead
The setup of the current map is not good.
An odd amount of detail went into its decorating - there are propped up offices for various factions, ministries (or whatever their appropriate name is), areas that got propblocked off; hell, there's a lot of text around the map added to the point where streets have signs with their names (pretty cool stuff actually). All in all, it is a pretty good environment.
And despite the decorations, the city is entirely hollow. The factions exist only on paper and have no representatives. An entire clinic stands unused, workshifts are ran either by cops or even random citizens.
The players were not provided with the tools to provide for other players. Properties advertise themselves as rentable with no visible means to do so; let alone resupplying them on a regular basis, should anyone try to run a business. Some of these problems could be quite literally resolved with a single player being given a CWU whitelist with access to a vendor/BMD menu of goods for sale; but again, these factions do not exist in reality. CAB does not seem to have any forward role that'd interact with the citizens.
Before I'm told "things are in the works, coming soon" - it's too late
now, these things needed to be set up
yesterday. What we have here right now is a
playerbase of people who used to play rebels wearing blacksuits and AKs who likely do not want to play citizens being forced to play a mockery of CityRP, let free to wander a hollow city.
My gratitude goes to the event/staff members trying their best to spice things up here and there, but there are systemic changes needed yesterday if this map is meant to last longer than a week.
TL;DR
The premise of the city and the snippets of the lore I'd seen seem perfectly fine, but the dynamic is an open wound on the server right now.
