Thanks for your opinion! I'll try to explain a bit more of what i was thinking about the new stuff.

Unnecesary, you don't get that much penality for being busted, even on heat 6 with 1kk bounty, I disagree with this.

It may be unnecesary, but in my mind premium players should be rewarded in every way for making the server run. In my opinion they shouldn't be penalized for anything, including getting busted during a long pursuit.

This one is a lil bit interesting, i wouldn't add this feature because the heat level is depending on the player. I mean, for somebody (e.g. a new player, or for who dosn't like doing pursuits), it's a curse, for others it's a bless. Maybe it could be worthy but a bit risky. If you can turn this function off whenever you want that would be way better.

Same as above, premium users would be able to save some time, by gaining fast and losing slow. Just to explain, 50% to 50% means they would earn 50% quicker, and lose 50% slower.

From a new, or middle class player's perspective this function is pretty much useless, majority of them won't spend time just practicing the maps to master them instead of maxing a car or grinding rp/money to the next class, this only gives advantage to the old players. I have a mixed feelings about this because i think when we reward players for donating the server, we should consider all kinds of player's perspective, since not only old players will donate.

I understand your point, it's a waste of time to race without any rewards. From a new players perspective it may look as a bad feature too. In reality it gives a little bit of something to everyone. As i noticed, new players are kinda not that good at drifts, street crosses, drags, urls, as they are in circuits and sprints. It's a normal thing, most of nfs players are racers, street racers. This addiction would help them practice maps they sometimes can't find people to play with. There is also something for older players. Most of old players are competitive, they wouldn't lose their stats and ratios trying to beat the tops. They also would benefit from racing alone whenever they want, not waiting for a duo.

I completely disagree with this one, it's good on paper. Better reward for 1v1 fight. But in this server almost 90% of the players uses the duel rewards as free rp. Every day, i mean every day there's is an a****** pm-ing me/typing on local chat "pls give me free", "pls free". I got sick of this. Almost nobody takes the duels serously in this server. This way we would give them more reasons to be like these kinds of jerks.

I feel you on this one, tho i think there should be more visible benefits for purchasing it. Think of it that way, if all this thing gets running, there will be more players, more jerks, but also more moderators. I think the ratios will be much better than it is right now(1 moderator for like every 30 players).

I think it's unnecesary, but that's only my opinion, i give a + for it anyway because it's a worthy one.

As i mentioned above, more visible benefits for donating. People need to be reminded of it.

This should be a default option, not a premium one. it doesn't have that much use to be an "only premium" thing. Not "premium-ish" if you catch my drift.

Same stuff as with the pm blocking feature. It should be a default thing, not something to pay for. I added it just to make the list more interesting, i wouldn't be sad if this is going to be implemented for everyone.

Anyways, feel free to add something you consider useful as well. I'm looking forward for all points of view.

As you can see in the attachment, there are all of premium features at this moment. 
I've numbered them to later on describe the usefulness of every specific feature, add, delete, and suggest something new.

1. This feature used to be "somewhat" useful at the beginning of this server, when spotify, tidal, and even discord weren't such things. Now it's looking more like an another "point" to make the list of features longer. We are mostly going to focus on the quality, not quantity.
2. This shouldn't be a premium feature, every player should have a right to block messages on pms, not even all of them, but from specific players.
3. Useful, definitely a reason to buy premium.
4. If somebody cares about having multiple drivers on one account, let it be this way. 
5. 70% to  85% is okay, you still lose from a bad decision, but a little less.
6. 10% is an alright amount of boost for gaining RP and money, but definitely not something everyone is buying premium for.
7. More vinyl layers are always a good thing. Although, i'd add a feature that lets you at least delete those already put vinyls after premium expires. 
8. Also something that should stay, it's a good feature.
9. Every donating player should be known, it stays.
10. For hesitant people, but not bad.
11. Saves a couple of seconds/minutes, due to removing a magazine before every another magazine run.

12. So there they are, all of them. Now, it's time for some of my  and @sanderka suggestions. I've been playing there back then in 2016, she's got a nice time spent. We both definitely see some lacks and things that need more attention:

• Increasing rewards from 10 up to 20%
  
• No money penalties from being busted in PP
  
• Gaining heat lever quicker, losing it more slowly(50% to 50%)
  
• An ability to practice every map outside of races(including URL maps)
  
• Better rewards for doing freerun duels(2x)
  
• More money for collecting freerun money(2x)
  
• Quick travel from one safe house to another
  
• Being able to connect a dyno for a specific performance setup, and choose it along with changing the performance in real time. For exmaple, driving a 499 infernus, and changing it to 450 infernus in real time whilst standing near the starting URL. (This feature may cost some money, for example 100$ everytime, and have a time delay)
  

Now, if you even thought that these changes are kinda controversial, here comes the best part about it. Premium should cost less, and there should be more options for buying it.
How much less? Which options? Lets discuss that together.

13. At this moment you can buy premium via PayPal, or a credit card. As we know, not everyone is bound to a credit card. Imagine how many people would love to buy it and have its features, but they simply can't. Adding a paysafecard and sms system would definitely help.
14. 2€ for 7days and 7€ for 30days. It's a little too much. I mean, it may seem like a very stupid move to make all of these changes, and gain LESS than before them, but it's not. It's a very simple vicious circle. 



A - More people donating a little less money for features that they'd love to be implemented
B - Server has an actual budget to make more and more changes 
C - Old players, newcomers are here to check everything out
D - Server is being played by hundreds of people everyday, at any time of day
A...


So here it is, plain and simple. Feel free to discuss in the comments section and vote in the pool!

It's a nice idea overall but I think it has some misconceptions.

Monroe on 3/3/3 without a dyno and experience in its behaviors is pretty trash, even on long straights it can spin out. I've driven it before, and this car can't pretty much compete in c class(ignoring some maps where it actually beats deluxo/uranus on). At the other hand, it's not bad on lower score setups or/and maps without curbs, sidewalks etc.

Counthash has an insane acceleration ONLY on low/mid speeds, but it suffers terrible velocity losses and overall bad performance past those 250kmh. Handling is somewhat relevant but it doesn't stand a chance in the competition against for example infernus.

A-Type's suspension is kinda faulty, but a skilled driver with a proper dyno can make it one of the best vintage class. It also has very good acceleration, definitely not an useless vehicle.

"Ahh shit. Here we go again"
Are these parts really hard to find? Seriously? Nobody have any patience to search them? Sometimes i wish i could delete all these  "unique part cars", just because to get rid of these "where's the last part of XY?"
For me, only the dukes took 3 hours. But seriously, am i the only one who found all the other ones about 1 or 2 hours without premium or any help?
Okay, I can accept that maybe for some people they are hard to find, that's understandable. But in my opinion, if you can't find all the parts, you don't deserve that particular car at all, because "you don't want it enough" to search every single road, every bulding, around every tree etc. I know it's really tedious, but that's the task you have to accomplish to get the cars, that's all. Accept it, or just give up.

About the suggestions:
They are unnecesarry i think. The parts are already easy to find with the white glowing aura thingy, you can't even miss them unless you are not pay attention enough. But if you don't pay attention enough, why do you even bother with finding the car parts....

For the first suggestion:
This is so irrevelant, if you don't want to check the part map over and over, just take a photo with your phone from the parts map, and you can see it everytime.
I did this when i was searching all the parts, it works.

For the second:
Looks good on paper, but again, it's irrelevant. The parts' fields aren't too big, it's not that hard to keep in your mind where you've already been, except for those who have a memory of a golden fish.
The ability to draw on the map sounds cool though, but not with this kind of usage.

First of all, i'm not your friend or something like that, so i would rather not be called a "butthurt person" by somebody i haven't even heard of. Second of all, i'd suggest you to try reading, instead of speculating. Third of all, i already have premium and some of them parts aren't that easy to find, if they were - guess what - people wouldn't ask for an advice. I kinda have the feeling you're the i-can-do-it-so-everybody-can type of guy, dunno tho. Many players haven't really played GTASA that much to even know names of locations, not mentioning every possible hiding spot. Those improvements wouldn't be for such a pro like you are. 

"But in my opinion, if you can't find all the parts, you don't deserve that particular car at all, because "you don't want it enough" to search every single road, every bulding, around every tree etc. I know it's really tedious, but that's the task you have to accomplish to get the cars, that's all. Accept it, or just give up."

Honestly, i don't know what to say about that. It's just a game, not a time eater for somebody who's hopeless in real life, the way you're commenting on that geez. I'm not trying to give everybody free 10 parts to every car at Doherty, but just implement some simple things that would make the game more ergonomic. Only contraindications i see for not implementing them, are from the technical side of it, cuz these aren't game changers.

Hey everybody, i have a couple of suggestions about finding car parts and the title says. I find searching for them quite irritating since you take the same roads all over again. Also you may have to check if you're in the right area very often via parts map. Below are some of my simple suggestions how to make the searching a bit less confusing(especially for newcomers).

1. Implement the parts map, into the normal map.

What i mean by that is to implement the marked areas, as map styles. For example, there are 8 unique cars to find, so there are 8 areas, that gives us 9 map styles. 8 of them would be maps with specified borders of areas with unique parts, and one of them would be just a normal map. You would switch to whatever map you only want, depending of which car you're keen of searching. Also, these marked places would be visible on the minimap(same as for DH).

2. Be able to draw on the map.

I don't really know if it's even possible to do, but it'd be very helpful with the search. You would basically be able to draw anything on the map, with a marker. How it'd help? You would simply be able to mark any roads or places you've already been to, and focus on these ones you haven't visited yet. Combined with 1., it's a pretty solid way to quickly find whatever car you want, without cheating.

Tell me what you think about it, personally i find these options very helpful!
