I will not be ragebaited

+1 Typical W post from Pazz

They do get paid per patient they drop off at a hospital on top of their hourly, but I do agree with the whole statement that factions should get paid a portion of the work they do also, on top of hourly pay

-1 Just rob them if you’re that much of a loot goblin, most only care about guns and drugs, packed money, car parts, or other criminal items

I have read the thread. Tables have been gone for 2 years, huff as much copium as you need to accept that it isn’t healthy to be cut off from other players while printing money for zero risk. It makes to difference whether you’re inside a property or doing so outside while blocked inside buildable walls

It would be really cool to add a test driving feature where it puts you into your own dimension to test a car out Edit: I didn’t see it was already in the suggestion, but +1 nonetheless

They’re not coming back guys

A big issue I’ve noticed while I was in staff is that we quit actually enforcing RP standards. We’ve leaned too far into allowing bad roleplay because the roleplay would have “IC consequences” to what they do. I think staff should enforce higher RP standards and issue nonRP’s to where it is appropriate.

Cop cars have the same gas consumption, it just seems like they have infinite because of how often people swap vehicles, which gives a new tank of gas

I think it’s just shitty to promise your community an entire roadmap and only release two things from it, being the criminal activities and an incomplete racing script that still can’t have community tracks added, with no communication from the developers on what the progress is. It just makes me distrust that we’ll get future content at all.

i agree with you

This should be in general, pocket wiping is just cringe. I agree with most of the suggestions on this thread. I also think a lot of the frustration comes from the lack of communication around development. Even small updates or teasers when something gets finished would probably go a lot further than people think. Right now it just feels like things are in limbo, and that’s where most of the frustration comes from.

I don’t wanna be that person, but this one’s kinda on you. You probably would’ve been fine if you just kept flooring it instead of doing everything possible to hand them a reason. You blasted past an officer doing like 200 through the city, let them catch up, let them follow you, turned on cruise control, refused to comply, and mocked him. And now you’re upset that you got arrested for driving recklessly? Yeah, PD/SD have issues, no one’s denying that, but people like you are just as big a part of the problem. You weren’t "given no chance to talk," you created a situation where talking was never going to happen. You basically put the arrest on a silver platter and then got mad when they took it.

+1 Force first person, add recoil, disable automatic weapons from being fired

This isn’t how it works. Appeals are decided by a higher ranking staff member than the one who issues a decision, mostly handled by a senior admin. You are correct in saying that the issuer gives their input but that is only to justify their reasoning or if they believe somebody is ready. The final decision is not up to the one who issued it. I’ve had some of my decisions reversed in the past. The entire process is explained in the decision appeal guidelines

This wouldn’t work unless we completely rework DOC and JB to give trials before your sentencing, which will never happen, because in the real world bail exists as a payment to say you will go to the court day so you don’t have to wait it out in jail.

Wherever the tracks were added I suggested that we consult the racing factions such as envy and midnight club in our staff chat, whether that was done or not is out of my control

I think the best solution would be for an actual K-9 script that can detect whatever the dog is trained for, and will take factors into play like stuff in the trunk or where the car has been. This is a viable solution if you don’t mind waiting 11 real life months for it to make it to the motion of discovery. By the time the case gets concluded whatever charges you had won’t be held against you for getting a job.

PvP is healthy for roleplay as long as it’s not the main focus. Conflict RP can progress gang beef. This would be beneficial for everybody for RP purposes. PD would get wiped less because taking tires would require actual skill, and criminals wouldn’t get beamed by a zero recoil AP pistol from 200 meters away. Also it would be beneficial because you couldn’t just spray someone down in a helicopter with a rifle that has zero recoil.

For transparency, the reason this is currently handled the way it is comes down to the nature of in game staff chat. These chats can contain very sensitive information that, under staff guidelines, cannot be shared. This is something that is taken very seriously and is strictly enforced. As it currently stands, this is what is outlined in the Player Report Requirements: All videos and screenshots may not be edited or tampered with in any way. Video evidence must be viewable with readable resolution and screenshots must be of appropriate size to clearly see all text. Audio should be present in all videos and no evidence can be cropped. Because of this requirement, staff cannot simply blur or block portions of a video without violating the existing reporting rules. In an ideal scenario, I do agree there could be a better middle ground. A potential solution would be having two versions of the video: One version with sensitive staff chat properly censored, provided for the reported player so they can clearly see the context of the report and explain their actions, and a second, unedited version provided privately to the handling staff member so they can fully and accurately review the situation.

I agree. The argument of them being rare goes out the window when you can just buy them with real money.

To my knowledge they typically do both at the same time just to do it at the same time but if you’ve already done your OOC interview your best bet would be to ask whoever did your it to see what to do next. But most likely they will reach out to you to schedule an In Character interview with you
