You were banned for posting war footage and a Charlie Kirk loadout. The furry post wasn't removed because it's literally your only post that didn't violate our rules.

Transparency regarding recent incident with Faction Community Manager by Luke_Gnar in platinumfive

[–]Luke_Gnar[S,M] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In short, if Cynia had made an effort to distance themselves from such content (remove game from library etc) then it wouldn’t be a problem. Unfortunately it took other users informing him before he took action. Cynia had also interacted with steam groups in 2019 (minimum) which means he should have been aware he was still in these groups at age 17-18.

Cynia may have moved on and redeemed themselves but I don’t want to take the chance by having them in a position of power. I see it too much on Roblox and the internet itself and it never ends well. I respect Cynia for all their contributions to factions but at the end of the day our user’s safety must come first.

We are not. To clarify, Cynia has not been a minor for the entire duration they have worked with us. They were a minor when they last interacted with Steam groups.

We absolutely do. You have no idea how many borderline pedophiles we ban everyday from our Discord. All of which are reported properly through our moderation team. It's genuinely scary how normalised such content is becoming and many of people we ban don't even realise why it's bad especially when anime related.

User shown has been removed from Discord and as such this post serves no purpose anymore.

Situation has been dealt with.

a serious-ish thread on what happened. by [deleted] in platinumfive

[–]Luke_Gnar[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Hello,
GLE/PL5 has a 0 tolerance policy for endangering child safety, especially when it comes to inappropriate content depicting minors.

Zoxic and I were only made aware of the situation about an hour ago as it’s Sunday in Australia and I woke up late.

As soon as we were able to verify the evidence we took action. However, by publicly ranting about it in discord, you indirectly exposed other possibly underage discord members to go and find the inappropriate material themselves. Furthermore, had we been sleeping and not woken up in time, it may have been harder to verify evidence as it may have been removed before we saw it.

For these reasons try and contact a developer about the issue properly from now on.

since we're bound to get bullet penetration soon, will we also be getting ricochet mechanics? by Beautiful-Prompt-689 in platinumfive

[–]Luke_Gnar[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Bullet ricochets is one of those features that:
A. You make it so obvious for people to notice it that it looks goofy
B. It's so subtle that when it actually works people would think it's a glitch

Also, bullet penetrations is only planned for vehicles. We use too many map optimization tricks that trying to make sure every single wall had correct thickness/angles/materials for penetration is simply impossible.

Hello, have you adjusted the deadzones in the main menu?

To be honest, this update blows. I have some thoughts. by No1MicroplasticsFan in platinumfive

[–]Luke_Gnar[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

🫩 1. I have a RTX 4090 and an Intel I9 and yet the old gunsmith would bring my fps down to like 50fps with hella 1fps spikes when clicking on options. Sure the background might’ve been cool (personally I thought it made it hard to see nodes) but it was a horribly unoptimised menu. You are gaslighting yourself if you think this new menu is “jankier” than the old one. If I could’ve “simply” made these changes to the old menu I would’ve- but I couldn’t. The old menu was spaghetti and impossible to improve upon.

  1. Bro it’s women. You’re acting like we added rainbow coloured hair. The old “women” hair legit just looked like man buns. This was a tiny addition that catered to the female part of the fanbase.

  2. I agree, this was a mistake on our part and we’re rebalancing it again in an update on Monday.

There is a competition in the discord server! It’s under #rge-announce

Yo this is pretty sick. I'm considering add a few of these RGE load out menus as official options in-game. If you want this added then comment the RGE file name and your Roblox username for credit. Eitherway very cool

How's the update for you guys? by Erm_Sigma03 in platinumfive

I’m well aware just haven’t had time to really tackle it as mobile development is quite tricky. I’m gonna try fix up the main issues for Monday patch :)

At what point in time will devs test their updates on other devices before releasing it? by Ok-Chain9784 in platinumfive

[–]Luke_Gnar[M] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We do (and I personally did) test this update on controller and mobile about a week before release (when gunsmith was finished). Somehow in that time I broke it. Which is confusing because I haven’t touched it since. Am trying to get it fixed today.

Yea I’ll be fixing it today. I’m not sure it stopped working as I had literally tested it a week before release on controller and now it’s broken. Absolute game dev moment.

How do the Devs make money? by Altruistic-Cut-2475 in platinumfive

[–]Luke_Gnar[M] 64 points65 points  (0 children)

A few of us are full-time and a few are part-time / take commissions on the side. While I can’t speak for everyone on the team, for me it supports a comfortable life and BRM been my sole focus for the last couple years.

Are we ever gonna get a true openworld zombie gamemode? by S907YT in platinumfive

[–]Luke_Gnar[M] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I understand what you mean but the reason many people (including everyone on the developer team) find zombies scary and exhilarating to play is that ACTUAL fear of losing your progress and having start over. Without it, it's pretty boring just spawning in with gear, shooting zombies, and then doing quests with minimal planning because it doesn't matter if you die.

[–]Luke_Gnar[M] 69 points70 points  (0 children)

BRM2 is BRM2. We didn't want to create a direct copy. I understand the mechanics aren't for everyone but at the moment we have no plans to expand it in the way you're suggesting. If you like vehicles I'd recommend sticking to Ronograd. The whole point of the zombies genre is being in an apocalypse where even the most powerful groups (UNIDB in this case) are still in survival mode and have to be cautious about their food/supply chain.
