@Dinaz said in [SUGGESTION] Add a tutorial for new players:

Tutorials in game would be indeed the best thing possible, lets you go through all the basic rules and stuff and atleast makes you aware of multiple stuff that you would take a lotta time to discover if you were on your own (it's less likely to happen now since everyone is being recruited and taught, but still not everything is well taught). The system can also be f.e when you spawn as a Police Officer Trainee you get a panel of information in several languages explaining what you should do, general and full information about it which might also be a reason for new players to stick to the server. Also another suggestion is that when a player tries to access a spawn h is not a apart of, the error message should be changed to something that would make it clear, f.e "You cannot access this spawn because you are no part of the group (spawn name)" and can also make an opportunity for gang, groups and squads to set their own error message as an information (F.e: You're no part of "gang", you may need to apply at "link" to gain access this spawn)

(I haven't read any of the stuff above tbh but if there's something off topic here lmk)

Interesting proposal, which might be placed with mine to remove the haze for new players, and my major reason for that suggestion is, as you indicated, to clear the haze and blur for new players; "new players to stick to the server"

@kikas said in [SUGGESTION] Squad raids:

And how exactly does the gang benefit from it's base being raided? What's the reward for successfully fending off an attack, assuming it is a possibility? How do you make the gang actually want to defend it's base rather than getting involved with other activities? How do you make sure that the gang chosen to be raided is not afk? Finally, why can't this suggestion work both ways, with gangs raiding squad bases to steal or destroy evidence?

Edit: I'm not trying to shit on your idea by the way, I'm genuinely curious.

Lets name the gang that being robbed "X"
Lets name the outsiders gang "Y"
And it's a spark to light up another idea: other gangs/outsiders who aren't allies with the gang that is being raided/robbed can join in to take the things the cops are attempting to steal and X is attempting to deffend. Whoever could get/keep the goods gets paid in their organisation bank as well as each winning side participant. However, it should not be a frequent occurrence.

Pretty fascinating changes, I hope it will be sufficient to balance both sides.

;From my perspective, the skin of the Prison Warden does not fit. It's just a point of view

I think this would work fine, just to show like some of the basic stuff. You could use like a moving ingame camera in the game to show like an SR building, police stations, properties for healings, SR drops and such. Shouldn't be that hard to make either. It's more a matter of what would you show in there that's critical for a new player to know that won't be found within F1.

Well to be honest, Everything could be found in the F1 but name me a new player that would spend his time reading that F1 and understanding it, things will look complicated for him so he will just disconnect and find another typical server to play, especially if he can not speak English

And as Hex mentioned, I hardly doubt the scripts gonna be too huge and you won't have to script the extra lines to avoid any bug abuse as it's only the new players those with 00:00:00 time played who will be forced to do it and have an access to it, and I don't think any new player will start his career caring about bug abuse

@Faysal said in [SUGGESTION] Add a tutorial for new players:

There's no specific tutorial ingame that can be done ingame (as you suggest) for various reasons that are kinda obvious.

The things SAES are based on are just things you should keep on your mind as an active roleplay player not just a player who is willing to enjoy a shooting type of game. The only tutorials that can be shown ingame are simply how to move and jump and maybe crouch if that's possible for most of the games. Since games are getting more and more complicated, specific games will ensure to give you hints/ideas in order to process in the game not because it's about you respecting an npc within the game or u might get punished for killing somebody. It's about how it should be played. In reality, gta SA is just the game we all know since it's released. Giving it some more options and more effects that make the game different somehow is something else which can't be expressed by the game developers themselves in specific situations, like SAES. It's not a bunch of mini games to show you what the concept of the game you're playing but it's about communication, "roleplaying". The only tips/ideas you might need can be found in an article or someone should explain them to you because it can't be shown in the actual game itself or it can be provided jn specific videos on Youtube just like how FiveM servers wok, they make their own server, own script (but they are mostly the same, they just change the logo and name) then they provide videos / admins that can resolve issues regarding the gameplay for you.

Long story short, SAES can't have some tutorials given ingame and even if that magically happens, the tutorials will be larger then the script of the server itself lol.

I'm not suggesting a full game practice tutorial mode nor a tutorial that teaches someone how to get a ProCop diploma or how to crack a bank, just the bare minimum of the basic baby steps that everyone would need to properly play the game without having any problems, just a floor with 3 markers, 1 blue 1 red 1 yellow and he will have to go through the 3 and pass 3 simple missions, as a cop you will give him an NPC with some wanted he will have to taze and arrest 3 times, as a criminal you will give him a robbery and show him how to sell weapon/drugs, and as civillian, he will spawn as a trucker/delivery man and deliver something, then you will get him aware of rules, how to buy a car ect... and he will be ready to play SAES with no problems even if he can't speak English, and if he still has any question he can ask any admin

@Law said in [SUGGESTION] Add a tutorial for new players:

Honestly, I said before that you need this LIKE video learn new players about how to go SR BR PBR JB cause any new player don't have patience for read Server rules and modus operandi
better make videos or something like it explain new players every thing about life as criminal or cop or civilian and how it work

The best method to learn is to practice. You can show someone how to arrest in a video, but he won't get all the details unless he does it himself.

Due to the decline in daily active SAES players, we must make every effort to retain as many new players as possible and engage them in our community.

SAES has ((I believe))aproximately 2-5 new player/accounts created daily ((because that's the number of people we see asking random questions about the gameplay with MTA Default names daily)), they either keep asking random questions on the mainchat then leave or press f1, get bored reading all of that then leave the server, and let's be honest SAES is slowly losing its popularity lately, so you'll want to keep those new players so we start seeing new names in the server

I think he means > You can refresh your speed/drug without having to wait for it to wear off; for example, if you buy drugs now and wish to refresh the effect after 30 seconds, you can buy drugs again, not to add additional time to the existing one, but to refresh it, start the timer again, and start counting from 0 again.
