What a fantastic year it has been at Lawless Roleplay. The year where we improved ourselves significantly and the same year we reached 237 players! In 2016, we watched people die over 6,879,657 times, 236,437 crimes committed, 8,915 players banned, 11,933 players punished, 46,306 names changed and most importantly we had fun and kicked some serious ass while doing those. This update is more aimed at those who like to kick ass but before we continue, let's have a refresh of our mission statement.

Our mission statement to you...
Lawless Roleplay is, and always, will be a community first and a game server second. We are dedicated to fostering an environment with a member-centric approach where all players have equal potential for in game success and community recognition.

Why play here?
Lawless Roleplay was originally founded on the principle that all players should rise or decline based on the actions of the person behind the player. We feel that success should be determined by a players actions and talents and not the whim of an administrative team. We have great code. We have great staff. We have great players. But most importantly we have a vigilant regard for your potential.

Is this a roleplay server?
We have worked to provide many in game tools for roleplay and it is absolutely encouraged however not required. We feel that any preferred mode of play that does not encroach on any other player’s enjoyment of the game is productive. Due to the harsh nature of game mode frequent player versus player violent interaction should be expected. However, this does not mean that players are allowed to kill other players for no reason.

Update 1.1.83 Overview

When Lawless Roleplay first launched, we were one of the few communities that stuck with lag shooting until we fully tried out sync shooting (lag compensation mode) - we noticed that we can defeat so many hacks such as weapon hacks, health hacks, armor hacks and etcetera using this mode. It was a big leap in development however the lag compensation mode created a new problem, weapons were overpowered and some shots were not detected - we partially defeated this problem by using a custom damage system. But this was not enough, we still had shots not registering and people bypassing some of our anti-cheat systems. However, today we are proud to announce...

New Damage System

The new damage system uses a very accurate and reliable detection method of when shots are fired and when shots should be or should not be registered. It significantly increases our anti-cheat as well so that it is impossible to use hacks that modify armor, health, damage, shot vector and distance. We also fixed issues with knife sync, you can now damage vehicles with passengers but no driver, new animations, new crack shot detection, car park/ heliblade no longer do any damage and so much more that you will need to sit and read the change logs below in great detail.

A honorable mention is that, fisher man pay has increased significantly making it the most profitable job, medic pay has increased, materials required to build a Deagle is now 2500, Sniper is now 6000, Spas (donator) is now 4500 and turf is now 5500 (this reflects the weapon's power in the new damage system). There is now a visual armor indicated for police on duty as well as visual damage indicators showing the amount of damage taken or given with blood stains.

EDIT 1st JAN 2017: We listened to feedback from players and have released the following update:
Code:
- Maximum health/ armor issue fixed
- Fixed a bug with streamer
- Removed drunk effect when being shot in vehicle or on foot
- Decreased blood splatter transparency
