I recently finally made it to the SBI after spending a lot of time playing to achieve this, and honestly, it feels a bit unfair that after so much effort to join this unit, you arrive and find clothing panels completely bugged — once you put something on, you can’t take it off. The door-opening system feels outdated, and overall, the SBI gives the impression that it hasn’t been updated or maintained in a long time. On top of that, they have much less weaponry compared to, for example, the VHP, even though the SBI is supposed to be the strongest unit when it comes to dealing with terrorist acts and similar situations. Because of that, I see a clear lack of attention to this. In short, it doesn’t feel like people who have spent so many hours to get here are being “rewarded” for their dedication.
Why This Would Improve the Game:
Fourth point: player reward. Reaching the SBI isn’t something you do in one afternoon — it takes many hours, a lot of roleplay, and real effort. If, after all that, you arrive and find a neglected system full of bugs and with fewer tools than other units, the message you get is “your work doesn’t matter.” That directly affects veteran player retention.
On the other hand, if the SBI is polished, updated, and clearly well-maintained, it becomes a real aspirational goal. People will want to improve, climb ranks, and stay active just to be part of it. This extends the server’s lifespan by creating meaningful progression that truly feels worth achieving.
