3 years ago This isn’t really the place for this and it doesn’t follow the format so it will probably get closed just so you know, but games go down all the time. The comments about going outside, getting something to eat, etc are usually jokes target more at the individuals who basically live in this server. I used to grind the server for 8-10 hrs a day like a lot do, so the comments, I’m sure, aren’t intended to be belittling, but more a reminder that this game isn’t life. If anything it’s just the staff saying, don’t forget to take care of yourself which is never a bad reminder. Also, the staff usually do tell us what’s going on with down times, however, you cannot expect that information 5 minutes after it goes down. It takes time to source and troubleshoot issues. Jarrrk had been extremely transparent with downtime’s and improvements. At some point recently he even talked about migrating the server because of service issues from a provider. I’m sorry, but as you’ve said, you’ve only been around for a couple weeks. As a gold supporter I feel my donated money is going towards helping bring improvements and building a better server for everyone to play on. Closing down discussion doesn’t punish anyone, it’s the right call because some children don’t know when to stop posting nasty, uncalled for messages in chat, and need to learn that that behaviour isn’t tolerated. There are other forums for people to talk in, there are so many specified channels in the discord, that I’d be surprised if you can’t find one that’s associated to what you want to talk about or a dm or a private discord someone made that probably has a bunch of people from highlife in it. Jarrrk and the staff all work incredibly hard, so far as to sacrifice their own sleep schedule sometimes when the server goes down or has issue. Anyone who knows even just a little knows that fiveM is a fickle create and has its own issues being that it’s a basically an unofficial add on to GTAV, it’s experimental, always changing, and that all effects how servers run and function. Perhaps just try being patient next time, because the servers always come back up eventually, it just takes time sometimes.

Hello, my name is truly Ryan James Smith, I'm 23 years old, I live in Houston, Texas, and I have actually only been playing Highlife for a couple weeks and now, an I've had so much fun I've already became a Bronze Supporter. With that being said, I just want to express how I feel about the Discord Discussion Thread and how its handled.
To begin, I understand the stupid people who come into the discord angry looking for answers, and they'll curse, mock, and berate until the server is back up, that's going to be just inevitable unfortunately.
This is quoted from someone who had typed this in the discussion thread. "Just feels like we are supporting no progress. in better words. I support to see stability and fixes. and it seems like in the months I've supported no progress is being made." Mrbaldbeast's word aren't harsh, they are honest and truthful, and is nearly exactly how I feel. I've only been playing a couple weeks and this is the 2nd time the servers been down for a long period of time, and honestly that isn't the problem. Things go wrong and problems occur and I FULLY UNDERSTAND that, but what you guys need to have is more transparency when these problems occur. You have 1000+ people donating $10+ to better the server and pay Staff, devs, Etc. and when the server goes down and people ask why, you act almost annoyed that we would even ask, Of course the idiots complaining that Double the problem, but you then go one to lock down the chat, resulting in everyone getting punished, including the ones who defend and donate to your cause. On top of this, when you do lock down the chat, you make it seem like its not a big deal and that we should get off the PC and "Open and the windows an get some fresh air." Some people have strict schedules that only allow play time at obscure times. Its like you try to belittle your supporters and members, by making it seem like they have no self preservation and that they need to "Go take a shower" or "Go have something to eat" "Go outside" all I see is them acting like everyone has nothing better to do. You guys need more transparency when it comes to these problems is the main thing I would like to see. What's wrong? Why'd it happen? How long? You answer those three questions and I bet half of your members will stop asking in discussion about the server.
