Title: Orange Cosmos Roleplay 2

Alright, so as some of you may already know due to leaks, or just assuming something that's pretty obvious, OCRP2 is currently in development. We haven't just started, it's been in development for a while, and there will be a lot of changes coming. Most details won't be released until it's finished; however any details that you guys are told, will be provided by Crap-Head in the OCRP server. This is more than just any update, this is big, and I'm sure you'll all enjoy it.

Admins are currently giving the developers suggestions and ideas to work on for the gamemode, and we've already got tons of progress. This time Crap-Head is putting a lot of effort into making it as YOU want it. If you feel you have a GOOD suggestion that will benefit OCRP2, make a thread about it.

Don't listen to any rumors about the gamemode, you should only be listening to stuff that comes directly from Crap-Head. The release date and any other details, as I said above, will be released when we're ready, and the admins have given all the suggestions they can think of. The only people who know whats being done as of now are the Administrators, and of course Owners and Developers. We hope you're excited for this, because our developers have been working hard on it, and they're doing a great job.


Please don't ask our staff about information for OCRP2, and don't bug Crap-Head about it. You will all be told when we are ready to give more information on the gamemode.

I would also hope that the map would be different than the one going for the current OCRP. Things just seem better when the maps are somewhat different after all and sometimes things just need a change. Not suggesting that the map should be v33x even though it's a good map, there will always be those who complain about it for being a little too big even though it's a great map for rp, but it should be better than evocity_v2d at least.

I have to agree with Aneeso, OCRP stands for Orange Cosmos RolePlay, Orange Cosmos is gone and this new gamemode will be completely disconnected with what Orange Cosmos once had.

Of course all the players at CG don't want a reset. Now, being one of the devs that has no fucking clue what's going on and doesn't really care, I will say this.

I have a lot of experience with role playing across several different games, platforms, and areas and what I've come to learn is that a stat reset is possibly the best thing you can do, however; that implies that the goal here is to role play and to have fun, not to "win" the game.

Unfortunately, the role playing style in Garry's Mod falls generally under that category. Now, I don't play OCRP at the current moment, so please understand that I don't talk about everyone or anyone in particular, I talk about the general majority. What I see is that everyone here wants to bulk up on their money, buy a bunch of nice cars and drive around. I really haven't seen a group get together and spend money for the sake of having fun and playing a role. I for one would reward players like that with in game items if I would ever see them, but this comes full circle. Allow me to explain.

A reset of all items in a role play environment puts everyone on the same level, however, due to Catalyst Gaming's base model, we have to assume that VIP and Gold members get their items they donated for, so obviously, we run into a problem off the bat. We can't give them nothing, they'll feel cheated, we can't give them too much, it will throw the economy out of whack, but that's just it. If no one cared about how much money they had and instead just wanted to play and have fun, role play, we wouldn't have to worry about the economic side effects of a reset.

Just a thought.
Title: Re: Orange Cosmos Roleplay 2
Post by: smt on June 19, 2012, 10:15:22 AM
^ That's because the general gameplay of OCRP has been turned from a gamemode where people would actually roleplay events, and have fun in a house to now where if you don't have weed growing or aren't raiding it's "not fun".

Wiping everyones stuff will cause problems. I tried it at an old PERP community and unfortunately a general minority will qq/cry and leave. That being said there's always people who will agree and think a wipe/reset is in the best interests of everyone.

If we decide on a wipe it's not like we're doing it for no reason whatsoever. The update is going to be so massive it's going to be pretty much a different gamemode. We'll see how things go.

Heres a thought, I believe honestly that we have lost more people than we have gained due to boredom. Nobody has anything to do once they have their nice little car or 50 guns etc. It's been the same database for two whole long years and a lot of people are at a point where there is nothing left to do. I don't want to sound arrogant but CG should have never started again with the same database but us as a community voted against a reset and it's come to this. OCRP was dead this time a few months ago but Crap-Head has worked his arse off to make it worth playing again and now he is working harder than he ever has done to get OCRP2 done for you guys. Whether it's a reset or not whining will have no impact upon the decision. Whatever happens will happen for a reason. A new gamemode would be like a little update if we all kept our millions of dollars. If you guys want my opinion, for what it is worth I think it will bring some of the old players back and the new gamemode might pull some new people in. It's just continuing the cycle.

I would have to agree that having a wipe/reset even though it wouldn't be that since this will be something of a new gamemode (especially if renamed CGRP) while yes, some people would qq/cry and leave, it just means that all they care about is the time that they spent trying to raid and grow weed for hours on end just to get a measly car. The thing is though, is that if they do in fact do that, then it means that them going away means that they were more in it to "win" than to actually have a decent roleplay experience, I will admit that I had tried to stockpile money to get a decent car but along the way (most of the time) I'd lose about 100k in one day through just one rp event (for those that remember me, always the atv races). But yes, if people had to start from scratch, it means that everyone is on a level playing field, ready to try and set things straight, and have a somewhat decent experience when getting away from our cruel reality. If people did take time to actually try and RP something like a pizza company for instance and not have that as a sort of way to be a cover so that people would open their house's door only to then see an ak-47 or shotgun pointed at them and then quite possibly fired, then things might actually start to get fun, even though it might start turning into another hl2rp server at that extent, but really. People do need to take a break from stockpiling contraband and then selling it to turn their profit into a car or several guns/ammunition to turn the entire day into a Crime based RP and have some ridiculous fun by driving an atv on a course for prize money or something fun like CrazyNinja's "Whack a Human" event
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGiAuq5pzfQ

(Off track here, if you don't care, please skip to next post): God, it almost makes me want to play OCRP again just to see how different it's gotten since yet another long break and since I've wasted a rather nice amount of my life now on Xbox playing stuff ranging from (most recently) Plants Vs. Zombies to Lollipop Chainsaw and Dead Space, also that I've spent a nice amount recently playing Amnesia. I will most likely play OCRP2/CGRP when it comes out and might continue through it a bit during school (if courses don't take time away and spending time outside of a dorm room (just became a freshmen in college and enrolled a few months ago (can't wait to get started)).

What now? Now we wait for a new map/game mode/new experiences with the money and cars we have and/or put in new cars/save for new cars. This isn't the end of the world that people like I who have weeks and weeks of playtime on the same exact server (OCRP) don't want a reset. All they have to do is put in the new game mode and put in many new cars, props, mini games, etc... So what it makes the content pack bigger, if people really know how good this community and its servers really are (most people hear from friends), then they will take the time to download it. I know main and only goal in OCRP for people currently is getting cars, and I have a feeling that no matter what we do, that won’t ever change. I believe the only reason it is about cars and growing is that getting cars and growing is the most interesting and everyone likes it. With that being said we need to have more activities and fun stuff in OCRP so people won’t be so focused on crimerp such as growing. One of my suggestions is that we should put in mini games like the ones in gmod party then maybe that will help a little and most people would not always have to go to crime RP all the time. On a semi-related note, look how whenever OCRP gets updated in general, there's a massive spring in players for a few days, then it dies back down, because people get used to the new things and go back to growing. There has to be a way around this, were just not seeing it.

Just my 2 cents.

OCRP2 is not just a fuck load of new retarded cars that drives 200 mph and cost 3 million dollars.

You wanna know why OCRP is boring? Because theres no economy circle. You buy a weapon for 1200 dollars. Thats the money you got from gold member citizen paychecks in 10 minutes. Literally, you get about 120 dollars every minute. Its completely retarded as it currently is. Everybody just sits inside with there 9 ak47, and there 2000 rifle ammo and waits until someone raids them, then take their weapons and get even more weapons.

With OCRP2 we are trying to build away from that. Instead of extending to current features, we are coding new features to increase the gameplay instead of being stuck in the same old things over and over.

Wait and see what happens. Thats my best advice.

*Well over a year

I've been in loads of different communities and unless you have greasy palms from the staff team, no one likes a reset.

So yeah, I like to think I know what I'm talking about. If the gamemode is as hugely different as being said well then "reset" goes far beyond the scope of losing your hard-earned-over-two-years stuff

Glad to hear OCRP is still being worked on and I hope it comes out well.

I'd like to state as nobody really has yet that this is CG's OCRP2, this is not the OCRP2 I/OC developed and uses none of the code.

I wish the best of luck and I'll check it out on release.

No, just no, I have a load of cars/cash etc.

Seriously, the main aim of roleplaying gamemodes is;
1) Get money whatever way possible
2) Buy a car
3) Act like a dickhead in your new virtual car
4) Done

Not likely to. It would be giving a better start to people who donated, and the last thing we want is more elitism.
I know people who donated for 1mil or more. It'd be incredibly unfair to start off with 1 mil. On the other hand, If I had donated for 1 mil, i'd feel angry and cheated like hell.

Please, take the time to read this:
     OCRP IS all about making money and buying fancy cars to drive around and look cool. But that doesn't mean it has to. If there were other ways of earning money other than just GROWING stuff, like being a businessman, investing money in stocks, playing in a casino, being cop(who are incredibly underpaid), being a medic, being mayor, w/e you want to be. NO. You can only earn good amounts of money GROWING.
     And new ways to SPEND your money. I understand there must be new expensive things, such as cars and shit. But what people seem to enjoy as well is STATUS. So a few additions to the player's model, like  sunglasses, a hat, a tie, a pair of shoes, things the other players can see and talk about. "Wow, nice hat, how much was it?" Same way people talk about fancy cars. And that gives them purpose.

    The reason why people don't RP that much is mostly because growing weed and shit is not something quite RP-able. Or lets say, it doesn't promote it. /me waters the weed plant as he amazes himself with the speed it grows. "Damn, I'll be able to buy a car soon.", he says. Now some things that do promote RP are jobs, games, events, and those "accessories" I mentioned. /me touches his fancy hat as he counts the money he's going to invest. Looks again to the monitor, realising his stocks are dropping really fast. "Damn!", he yells, and gets up in a hurry, to talk with the sales girl. His hat falls off his head. "I wanna sell my stocks, right now!".

   I know he'd probably sell his stocks before typing it all, xD. But hey, I think you got the main idea. Lots of new stuff, lots of new RP-able ways to earn and spend money. That's what I hope to see, and that's what would overcome my anger of getting reset.

Sorry for the long post.

OCRP isn't about growing weed and whoring money and buying cars. If any of you guys where around in Orange Cosmos you'd know that was like a "side objective" - everyone still had time to passive RP, set up shops, run mayor events, run events with their org and just have fun. I haven't been on OCRP in ages but I doubt someone's set up a party at the pool "just for fun" recently....

If any of you guys where around in Orange Cosmos you'd know that was like a "side objective" - everyone still had time to passive RP, set up shops, run mayor events, run events with their org and just have fun. I haven't been on OCRP in ages but I doubt someone's set up a party at the pool "just for fun" recently....

It's because people (well most likely) got bored of doing PassiveRP. There isn't a "long lasting goal" in it. For example: You can grow weed and buy a car, that you will be able to spawn everyday, drive it around, show it off, ect. PassiveRP you have to (depending on what you do, but lets say you're doing a party or something like that) set up props for the party, have some fun, then it's over. If there was a long lasting benefit to PassiveRP, then I think more people would do it. You also have to keep in mind that this is OCRP, and most of the player base are young people (aka kids).

I would say if a wipe is to happen, that whatever cash we donated for is returned to us, not the cash we earned by growing etc. People have donated for a lot of OCRP cash and it will cause a lot of rage and mad if you decide not to return that cash to them on the next gamemode.

If there was to be a reset then the best possible reason to do so is probably to fix the economy. Returning the cash again would be pointless and remember, A donation is a charitable purpose where you don't necessarily require a gift for doing so.

When you donate, you're not donating for money. You're donating to keep our servers running and we're giving you a gift as a thanks for that.

That's just a front to avoid some laws and shit. If you sell in-game money, if you reset, people can go to Justice. If you donate and get in-game money as reward, you can't go to Justice in case of a reset.

Everyone knows we are purchasing in-game money/gold/vip, not just "donating for the server". Though there are a few people that actually donate.

Yeah, it's a motive to get people to donate as no one really would if you didn't gain anything out of it.

Do you really think most of the people here would go out of their way to sue a gaming community that isn't even a registered entity? Also, if we wanted to get around laws, we could say you donated for OCRP cash, not OCRP2.

Please think things through before posting them.

You may notice I wasn't talking about the OCRP situation in particular when I talked about the front thing. Anyway, lets stop posting about this, shall we?

I have to agree, This thread is for Crap-Head or whoever it may be to answer your immediate questions/give you some updates. Regarding a reset; cross that bridge when you come to it...

1. To end the law discussion. You donate for money for OCRP, not OCRP2. Like Tim said.

2. I don't answer questions here, nor do i answer them on Steam. Please just wait until I put up another thread where i will answer all of your questions.

And therefore, let's end this discussion about the reset. Unless Crap-Head or Roflwaffle confirm it, no one knows if it is even going to happen after all. But chances are high though, because the economy of OCRP1.5 is fucked up beyond all measures and OCRP2 works quite different regarding economy. (As far as I know, because again: Don't take anything I say as true.)

I donated a total of $150 dollars in the past and got about 2mill OCRP cash and some other stuff for it. I will also lose that, but do I care? No. Because how much you whine and bitch about it, the decisions won't change. Beside, I donated this much to support this community. Not to be the richest elitist on OCRP.

Nonono, please.

Its a good thread to extract information from you guys. :3
As Crap-Head said in this thread, the admin team is taking part in suggestions/discussion, so what I've learnt so far:
- Reset, highly likely to happen. Lots of Pro's($$$ says Rofl/eco fix), no Cons (except maybe a couple days of mad skids doing what they do best.)
- New economy, probably lots of new things.
This /\ is good. (y)

And I hope for new ways of making money, no more groweeng. D: Why do we all have to be farmers!?

Take what you want from this thread, It's true we have a select team of admins doing suggestions but anything beyond the original post then don't set in stone.

Erm, spending IRL money on virtual properties, that's the problem? Never see the logic in spending your money in-game, find it stupid and ridiculous. Only way I've previously spent my money on GMod is for donation fee's. Not to get some pixel money or pixel car or what not. #Hatergunnahate

To be honest, I have 37 out of 42 cars currently, along with a lot of items, a lot of guns, a huge 1,010kg organization bank, and a lot more by playing OCRP since OC, and you know what?  I would be happy if when OCRP2 came out that everyone would be reset.  I think this will make it fun again, to be able to earn everything back again, at the same pace as everyone else.  You have things to look forward to, along will all the new additions in OCRP2.  There are other communities where people actually pay to have their accounts reset so they can rank back up again to make it fun again.  I know a lot of people hate call of duty, but it can also kind of be referred to what call of duty does, you rank to the highest rank, and then they allow you to prestige to start all over again so you can earn it all back and it makes it fun to earn it all back and rank up again.  Some don't like it, but I think if they wiped everyone's accounts, it would make it more fun, even with all the shit I've had and the years I've spent working for it all, I still wouldn't mind getting reset.  Right now, it's a very boring, I either raid or do stuff with organization members or I grow to make money to use for passive rp events because I already have most of the cars and enough guns, props and what not.  Just not fun anymore.  I would love a reset, plus with all the new features in OCRP2, I think it's a good idea to balance everything out again and let everyone begin anew at the same time.

This is the ideal mindset to be in, Even though it's not confirmed that there is a reset or not, CrazyNinja is obviously ready for it if it does happen. Although this has kinda died down now and I hope Crazy hasn't started something up again :) Anywhore, lets just sit here patiently and wait for news
