I actually like the storms as it really breaks up the game a lot. I think if there is a way to reduce the sound of the thunder and wind, I'd be for it, but I'd like to keep the duration the same.

+1 Add an LSEMS flag, and a DOC flag. More importantly add a Greece's flag

In all honesty, I thought I was going crazy when I noticed hole in the wall near Lower Power Street came back, and that was something with my game, but I didn't even think to see the other things added, like extra banks, were reverted to before this update.

You can't pull out a sniper rifle because it's an admin spawned asset as there is no actual camera asset that's available or implemented. Not really something to compare it to. Gaining CCTV footage for something that was say used in a crime ends up being evidence requiring News casters to obtain said footage released by the Police for citizen visibility to assist with the case, or if those involved are already apprehended.

I'm going to -1 this because it makes no sense why a News Corporation would have any access to CCTV footage at all. News companies in the US only get and use footage that is released to them from Law Enforcement, and they cannot just go into a store and ask the shop manager for the CCTV footage for a news story to cover on TV or in a news article.

I actually like this idea a lot. You can even adjust the "lore" that this guy is apart of a group of people who are life sentencers, the ones who "RPly" run DOC internally as inmates, and they've built up a sort of "internal treasury" that's inaccessible to anyone.

You can use the myfreq to check what frequency you're on

Issue/bug you are reporting: Blackjack tables, the dealer is pulling in 20's and 21's way too frequently after the restart to limit the available cards to a single deck. There have been instances where the dealer will get 21 4 - 5 times in a row. Expected behavior: While a Casino will always weigh in favor for the house, the odds here are extremely one sided. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Just play the game

This is still an issue. Bullet casing do not show any fingerprints even if you unload your gun and reload it without any gloves on

This has been adjusted in the month of December. The reward was increased, the time to extract was reduced, and the chance for PD to be called was also reduced.

Criminals who shoot and kill cops also go away for life, and aren't released after "3 years" or 3 hours. You gotta take the level of realism to a certain level. The other thing is we are all typing which for some people can be slow and take time. So some RP can be rushed through to ensure your RP is not stolen or cut short for you. We also, per server outlines, cannot /cpr until the confirmation from /do is complete, so there is a lot of different aspects where people can ruleplay, delay, or just not want to respond appropriately.

-1 So here's the thing. We have a few minutes to extend your life, whether that's MD or PD. With anyone with a BLS kit, as mentioned above, the script and intention is to keep you alive, not completely fix your wounds. With MD, the same thing holds true with the /stabilize command. A newly trained EMR or EMT is basically not going to have enough field experience to fix you there, but enough medical attention is provided to stabilize you for transport to the Emergency Room where there, they'll fix you. The thing is, people can either delay, or stall out on providing /me's and /do's so that either they get NLR'd from say a shoot out, or just for some reason tab out not focusing on the RP they have at hand, because they just want to die for whatever reason. The other thing too, is that if you're at a scene with say 5 people shot down, the amount of /me's and /do's will flood the screen. Adding that much level of RP depth is going to get lost and you're going to have people standing around waiting for something that the receiver missed, and then getting a /pm Can you please respond to my RP. This is another 30 seconds taken off the chance to extend your life. This is a roleplay server, but not every LEO is a real life Police Officer, and not everyone in MD is a real life Doctor. We're just roleplaying as one and doing the best we can with the documentation provided for us to help keep some good level of roleplay.

-1 Leave them as is. Also, making them slower will prevent players from being able to go up hills. 80km/h is a good speed for it.

Yes it can. Cooldown isn't in alignment with the time you're tackled. One person can perma tackle another. The thing that was fixed was cancel animation which still holds the tackle script, and the pressing B to insta stand. However, I think there's a pending patch to fix this further, unless I misread the Bug Reports

I think where it's at currently is great. While you might not feel it's utilized to only two times a year, I know people will meet in smaller groups to go there. I don't think moving high end over there would be beneficial. Say when an official event DOES happen there, then there is no parking whatsoever for the attendees.

Useful one for Bus Drivers: More pay for more experience Extra pay for returning the vehicle < 950 HP (Give credit some turns are tight and you can't negate taking down a traffic light) Pay reduction for speeding above 5 km/h on the roads legal limit (Realistically a bus driver would adhere to all rules of the road or they'd lose their CDL license or be suspended without question as it's GPS monitored, and regulated) Exclusive efficient routes?

+1 There are multiple vehicles which have a workable trunk which would fit a body, but they need to be scriptly enabled.

Sorry, but none of this looks like good RP to me. This all looks like "why pay for a shipment when I can bait a cop during night shift to come to a place of a suspected robbery and kill them". Cops already adhere, and are punished for breaking FearRP. We abide by the same server rules as crims, civs and legals adhered. We are not immune to server rules. Baiting cops is also against server rules, so yeah that's a bit no on this one as well. If you want this to be more realistic, then crims should be losing 90% more then they already are. As Bala said, "Fuck the "realism" argument for a minute." This is just going to get crims nerf'd even harder. You want a reward for killing a cop? How about keeping your assets? How about keeping your guns? How about keeping your freedom and your license un-suspended? That seems like a pretty good reward to me. These conversations about balancing LEO vs crim shouldn't need to happen with balancing out LEO, but instead more focused on how we can better improve crims. I enjoy my RP, and I don't enjoy being hunted for my guns. That makes zero sense to me, as then when I'm on duty when server pop for LEO is less than 10 for PD/SD, I just won't clock on. I don't need to die because I pulled someone over for doing 180 km/h in an 80km/h zone, because they say I have a Pistol .50 and a taser on me and think it's free reign. Cops don't get into fights NOW without backup en-route. They dismount to take cover because you can't shoot when you're in the driver seat. Drive away, you're still a sitting duck.

+1 I think releasing it in a state where you're able to drive it should be doable.

In all honesty, crim or legal both face the same issue you're describing. As Quietthecutie pointed out it's been discussed before, and it's limited to the script and syncing issues. I personally don't foresee this changing anytime soon. LEO will say if we see it, we see it. That's just how things are ran on the server. Crims have the same capabilities too, if they see it, they see it. Crims and legals are targeted in the real world as well for their firearms. However, if I see someone with an /ame putting something in their glovebox and I am in very close proximity and I amfacing the vehicle, I always follow up with a /me and /do to determine if my character saw it or not,. For the bag, I rarely see people doing this out in the open. Just be smarter with how and when you're stashing your firearm.

Why do you have to go straight into insulting me as oppose to attacking the arguments. I don't feel that is necessary nor just. It has nothing to do with laziness. I know it is easy to figure out if someone abused it without roleplay. This isn't a CRIM VS LEO conversation, and I am getting rather annoyed with every conversation of this stature turning straight into a CRIM VS LEO argument. No one ever said "take the L" or "this is IC". If a rule break was made, it's our duty as staff to investigate it. Whether we find it annoying or not, we are here as volunteers to do our duties to ensure everyone is enjoying their time here. Crims can CTRL + X on vehicles that are undercover to determine it's undercover, and outside of a single forum post on here, you don't see arguments of that sort going on back and forth. Yet, I've seen it in evidence it's being used to identify vehicles. That's metagaming and ongoing. This suggestion would easily be logged and if found abused, easily punished for NRP. I'm not going to continue to repeat myself on if it's easy to be logged or not.

You stated that they need not to wear a mask. That goes without saying. You want to know how long your license will be unsuspended for, then no mask. Otherwise the point one you're making is just moot. What assures crims that cops won't randomly go around and suspend their license? We're not here to play devil's advocate. There are processes and procedures in place, and most LEO's wouldn't be caught dead fucking around with shit like this. It's never worth the risk of metagaming. It's really close. It's accompanied by an /ame as well. Such a command isn't IC as it requires script intervention. I'm not sure why you are bringing up "IC this" in the conversation of scripts. The MDC is script, not IC. The information IN the MDC is mostly IC. Big difference between the two and the use of IC/OOC. It is not my only argument, but it's a really simple script that doesn't have to be overcomplicated. The scripts that LEO's are given, at the level they are given which would raise concern for metagaming, is so rarely an issue, that I feel knowing if someone's license suspension without any sort of roleplay or identification can be easily handled and reviewed in a /report or Forum Report. I don't feel I need to justify other reasons why not FName_LName, but using an ID to /suspend or /checkSuspension is not something I'd teeter into metagaming territory. Hell, the script can even just return: FName_LName ID has: or omit it entirely.

1. If someone is requesting you to know how long until their license is unsuspended, I think this goes without saying that they'd not have a mask on 2. Yes this would be a close proximity like the /suspend command. I feel like because you're checking if they have a suspended license, it should be one of those requires two people interaction, which falls into my explaination below on point 3. 3. Not sure why we'd want FName_LName to avoid metagaming when 2 would require close proximity. If someone is abusing /commands to gain information on this, then it'd be pretty quick and easy to see who is abusing this, and have punishments issued. I just personally don't see a reason for needing FName_LName at times when there are times people will smash their head against their keyboard to procure a surname. If someone is abusing a command to metagame, then they should be reported for such. I've not run into instances where people will abuse a command to powergame. This would be the only agreeable thing I'd have for using FName_LName

I'm sure this has been suggested multiple times in the past, but I would like to bring it back up. Please implement something like `/checkSuspension ID` that LEO's can run on an individual to know the time remaining on their license suspension. Something in the chatbox like the following would assist with people able for LEO's to inform civilians how long until they are able to purchase firearms/ammo, or drive their vehicle without fear of being pulled over and getting arrested again for IC law breaks. FName_Lname has DD:HH:MM:SS remaining on Drivers Suspension D:HH:MM:SS remaining on TruckersSuspension DD:HH:MM:SS remaining on Firearms Suspension
