  1. Possibly, ill have to dig through my library of videos. Could also attempt to reenact it
  2. as Otis Walton, i definitely give this a +1. i find it frustrating that the bonus's given through leveling up specifically for lockpicking and hotwiring cars will forever be out of reach for Otis, as they require different types of criminal activity that Otis, as a character, doesnt partake in. having this would give another way of having the experience i desire, as well as giving some opportunity for Otis to unlock hotwire and lockpicking perks
  3. ive worked there a long time and much of what you have said seems contrast to what ive experienced. afk farming is not a thing i see often in dcc. and those that do dont last long because they get caught. I find it very disheartening that your solution is to disband dcc altogether. by your own words you didnt even stick around to find out the true nature because an ill informed manager gave you incorrect direction, and for that im truly sorry. ive agreed with you on many takes youve had in other areas of the server. but i wholeheartedly disagree on this one. at least with your assessment and solution for it
  4. -1 I work for dcc and when you're one taxi driver with 5 requests waiting its first come first serve. Plenty of times ive seen a call come in while currently with a customer. Then that person gets a little impatient, moves too far then i get another request from a new customer, while im taking that call, the impatient request makes another and they repeat this loop and wonder why i never get them. Bus routes exist as well now. Gain some Patience, your own vehicles, friends, or get to walking. City bee being fully available would crush taxi rp I would agree new players should be given free pass on this
  5. This would make parkour more fun, add a height that you get knocked out from, and downed beyond that. Fight clubs would be wonderful RP to have Huge +1
  6. i think buy a shank, is a good idea, but i feel it should line up with a "prestige" style as well, maybe unlocking certain levels of clothes will unlock the ability to "trade" stamps for drugs or shanks. but also dont want it to be an abundant problem
  7. Huge +1 from me thanks for brainstorming this with me buddy
  8. +1 I would also like gangs within their own territory to be capable of making one active with a timer to "put up tables" give them that capability 1 per 24 hours or something to that effect. Choosing an in territory lab seems like a given to me. Maybe make it where at least two members must be present for the timer to activate
  9. Would like to add it happens when typing in paint can, with the additional hitting f or g will hop into nearby cars. And i will open inventory. All while it shouldn't be functioning as such
  10. Date and time (provide timezone): 6:12 (GMT-6) pm 14/06/2024 Character name: Leon Lamprey Issue/bug you are reporting: 0 fall dmg with paint can Expected behavior: you can fall from really high heights and survive with no dmg to your character. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Paint drop 1 , Paint drop 2 to replicate, you need to prepare your paint then fall along a flat surface, left click on the wall to start the paint anim, which will halt the fall and receive 0 dmg
  11. +1 from me, my post awhile back didnt get much traction, i saw someone put a link to it. I suggested in my original that we could apply or purchase a exemption for individual vehicles. But found out thats not scriptly viable. Even though i was hemerging money, i still drove my own truck. Because it felt like mine, i guess the hardest pill to swallow was getting flak from a dude in a free truck about how dumb i was for not having a free truck.. Yes ive used it for fishing and other things, but i wanted the truck to do trucking with orders. I had /report when i paid my first toll, because i believed it was a mistake. The admin told me to find another route. I told them, so i spent all this money to make less and have to travel further down a dirt road to avoid a toll. Ive had people say, "its only 300, suck it up" when you're a trucker you are constantly going through tolls, so while 300 here or there isnt a big deal, 300 times 10 is 3000 lost, and 3000 gained for the guy who cant bother to put money into trucking
  12. is 5 days a long time to be stealing cars?
  13. I kinda wish there was a random timer on when it pops up as stolen, as if the npc reported it. give a minimum of 5 mins and a max of 45 mins or something before it turns up stolen in the MDC
  14. @Ash idk if its the same for all semis, but the pounder can only have a turbo upgrade. while parking in the public is nice, but its not much of a drive to the truck yard, at the end of the day i still must fill the tank and get it repaired, not to mention i have to pay toll if im pressed for time. i do go around the tolls when i can. it not being a scripted vehicle is probably the only real perk of having your own truck. but back to the original point, it doesnt make sense realistically, does the truck yard have infinite money that they can just pass trucks out to anyone with a license? and then they get to bring it back in pieces, with an empty tank? what is the Trucking Company that rents these trucks out get in return? the only draw back of renting is that if youre outside the truck too long itll disappear, but i guess that could also be a perk because then you wouldnt actually have to return it to the truck depo. It would definitely be less frustrating if i didnt have to compete with trucks that can freely move through the toll, going around adds quite a bit of time. heck if the exemption cost was around 50k or even higher i would strive to pay for that, because in the long run ill make better money, better times and more orders completed.
  15. I believe the rented trucks are a strange mechanism in the server and don't make sense from a realistic pov. My quams are that these are not "rented" in anyway, they are given with no fees or % cuts from jobs, they also receive free toll passes, they don't have to pay for repairs or fuel. It gives no incentive to buy their own truck. This causes a discrepancy where "rented" trucks are far superior than the owner operators. I've watch many rentals throw caution to the wind, because why does it matter, they don't need to pay for the repairs. Possible solutions: 1. Charge a fee to rent the truck from the truck yard. Or 2. When the truck is returned it charges for fuel and repairs caused by the renters use. Or 3. The truck rental company takes a % of the orders that are completed. I would also like to see the ability to purchase a toll exemption for a personal work truck.
  16. @SmushyTaco @alexalex303 very good points! i forget that some people don't have the maturity to not abuse the system, and i would have to withdraw the first half of my comment. I think an hourly pay would be the best way to bring more incentive to work there. i had worked at the tunnels booth for 8hrs straight to figure out how much i would make in that span of time, i had 27 paid tolls for a total of 8100, 16 unpaid (25 if you count the ones i saw going on the opposite side of the highway to go around the tunnel), 32 pd/md, and 9 other free pass vehicles. 27 paid to 57 unpaid. hard to justify those numbers...
  17. I would have to agree, its nice these places have worked out a deal with the tollbooth department, but why doesn't the person actually running the booth get any money? they are expected to work an already underpaid job for less? i would suggest maybe 50-100 per free toll that passes the bar, whether they /paytoll or the tollbooth guy raises it in an emergence. another suggestion would be to give an hourly pay, plus the toll that people pay. I enjoy working the booth i just wish i had better incentive to do so.
