  2. Version 3.25.0 - Crews

    Todays update introduces our new crews system - A crew is essentially a gang with some slight feature differences, all gang related rules also apply to crews. Going forward all whitelist applications should start out as a crew - this lets us and others see how you and your potential gang will behave and interact in the city before we accept you as a fully whitelisted gang. If you're picking up gang strikes as a crew then there's a very good chance you won't be making it to a gang whitelist as a good example.

    So, what are the differences between crews and gangs?

    Feature Crew Gang
    F6 Hub access ✅ ✅
    Diplomacy 🚫 ✅
    Wars 🚫 ✅
    Neighbourhoods 🚫 ✅
    Red zones ✅ ✅
    Ranks and Permissions ✅ ✅
    Gang Unlocks ✅ ✅
    Gang Shops ✅ ✅
    Private Radio ✅ ✅

    Interested in starting up a crew of your own? The crew registration item can now be purchased from black markets for $2,000,000 - this price may increase in the future if we become overwhelmed with crews, we may also add this item to Tebex in the future so that brand new groups to the city can immediately dive into an organised crews system.

  8. Planned Maintenance: STRP Europe
    Hey guys, we'll be taking STRP Europe offline at 10:45am BST today as we carry out a server swap. We expect this to take around an hour, we'll keep you guys updated on the discord with the progress we make.

    So, what are we changing?
    STRP Europe currently runs on 2 servers, one for the API & database and one for the game server. We're going to combine these servers together into a new dedicated server with better hardware;

    STAPI runs on an i7-7700k with 32GB RAM (4 cores / 8 threads)
    STRPEU runs on an i9-9900k with 64GB RAM (8 cores / 16 threads)

    The new server uses a Ryzen 9 5950X with 128GB RAM (16 cores / 32 threads)

    We originally split the servers up to take advantage of 2 bandwidth pipes however with the API now serving in-game images and with that being cached through cloudflare we've come to find that our bandwidth usage has dropped significantly and we believe we'll be better served by a single server setup to reduce latency between the game, the database and the API.

  9. Planned Maintenance: STRP America
    Hey guys, we'll be taking STRP America offline at 1pm BST today as we carry out a server swap. We're not sure how long this will take, but we'll keep you guys updated on the discord with the progress we make.

    So, what are we changing?
    First of all, we're moving datacenters, STRP America is currently hosted in Dallas, Texas - we're moving it to Atlanta, Georgia. For me, this has dropped by ping by about 30, from ~130 to ~100. For Kevin this has halved his ping from ~50 to ~25.

    We're also upgrading the hardware that STRP America runs on;

    image.png.e3c1795c8dcf1beea13e7770e6428ede.pngimage.png.3bc15b083bed11dc5cdcc759078d4950.png

    As you can see, we're upgrading from the Xeon E-2236 (6 cores / 12 threads) to the Ryzen 9 5900X (12 cores / 24 threads).
    We're also increasing the servers RAM from 64GB to 128GB.

    This all may seem like overkill for STRP America right now but we're rather be ahead of the curve and plan for the future. Hopefully the downtime won't be too long and with any luck you'll notice the improvements on the otherside, even if it's just a ping reduction (unless you're West Coast America, in which case, sorry!)

  13. STRP Tebex Refresh

    Hey guys, recently we've gone over our store, prices and offerings after being reviewed by Tebex. Following their feedback we've revamped the shop layouts, our imaging, prices and the way we want our store to work in general. We want to move towards a model where we actually have offers and discounts, something that we've never really done before. We've also started up a pilot partner program for our NA Tebex store which offers additional discounting to customers and rewards our content creators with their own slice of the pie - something that hopefully makes our content creators feel appreciated and more invested in STRP.

    With that said, let's go over some of the changes.


    STRP NA

    • We added gift cards ($15, $30, $50)
    • We added car wax
    • New bundles
      • Car bundle (car wax & custom plate)
      • Phone bundle (custom phone number & 2 app verifications)

    STRP EU

    • We added new gift card options (£30, £50)
    • We added car wax
    • We added Skill boosters
    • We added bundles
      • Some of the NA bundles came across to EU, including the 2 new ones above


    With the help of Kayleigh we've redone a bunch of the imaging on our stores, all of the subscriber tiers have new images, all of the custom items have new images and we've added new items for the gift cards too. We've also changed the colouring of our VIP subscriptions and reflected those changes in-game. Another big change on the store is the templates themselves, when you load up the store it'll be the first thing you notice.

    Pricing for in-game items and subscriptions have increased, however for those that are already subscribed your price will continue to be honoured, these new prices only affect those who are not subscribed yet or those who have been buying one month at a time. We have new things planned for the VIP levels to help differentiate between the levels and add value to our already feature-packed subscriptions.

    Last but not least, to celebrate our first major Tebex overhaul we want to kickstart the new ethos of discounting with another huge discount code - use code REFRESH to get 20% off all available packages on both stores. This code is available for one week only and will end March 25th.

  14. Just now, Pauly said:

    Will this include a turf reset or how is it going to work exactly @Sojobo

     

    No reset. If you're at or above your limit you can't gain influence in other turfs anymore. It's more so about getting the feature out there and ironed out before the gang reset at the end of the month.

    • We've added XP Boosters and an XP Booster bundle to the STRP NA Tebex store

      • 40k XP is enough to take a player from level 1 -> level 11.
      • As our XP requirements exponentially grow as you level, you'll find these boosters great for new players but not so much for high level players.

    Do you not need any hacking or is it just for the rooms that use thermals to open?

    It's still required for the vault, but there are other areas that are lootable and don't require that part of the heist.

    Stuck on what? If there are still genuine reasons we need the command it can be brought back, I just don't think it's actually needed anymore 👀
