I'm experiencing the same issue, I'm sure its a rage MP bug.

The PD on this server consistently meta-game to a level that does not allow for good roleplay scenarios, and which allows the PD to punish players who have criminal characters with real-life consequences. How many times have you been shot down in a gunfight with the police, only to have a bandage wrapped around you and shipped off to jail? I have never seen anyone successfully roleplay their own death, which is utterly ridiculous. Just this year, there have been over 350 deaths at the hands of the police in the United States . If the PD's main priority is to accurately reflect a real-life U.S. Police Department in the way they roleplay, this should be reflected in allowing people to die instead of just fixing them up and sending them to jail.
Yeah it's pretty dumb to have been shot 15 times and go to jail but it has to be this way because I'd say over 80% of police arrests lead into a shootout, and the only way criminals would ever go to jail is if the PD doesn't allow them to RP death. I mean think about it, when was the last time you saw someone being arrested without guns being drawn and people being downed?
As far as the 350 deaths a year goes, I believe that stat actually goes against what you're trying to say. 350 deaths a year for over 325 million people in the US is a REALLY low % of people dying at the hands of police.

So if I am standing 5 ft away from a cop who unloads their SMG/Shotgun at me, they aren't going to be looking to merely incapacitate me, rather to end my life to protect their own.
Surely then, cops would be shooting to kill on Eclipse, particularly given the brutality of some of the gunfights that occur on a daily basis involving S.W.A.T. and heavy weapons on both sides.
Totally agree, except if everyone was allowed to RP death then there would be no repercussions to RPing the most heinous violent criminal in the world, who kills and robs indiscriminately. Which is a bad thing.
It's super shitty to go to jail and literally waste 2 hours of oyur time doing nothing, and I believe there are some good solutions to it but there has to be some sort of heavy repercussion to being a violent criminal otherwise people would be non stop killing (even more then now).
1 hour ago, Malcolm Carter said:I am certainly not the first to address this topic. The fact that you can't even logout during your prison sentence is testament to the fact that this is a punishment for the player, not for their character. GTA V is a very intensive game and for many people with lower-end rigs they simply can't use their computers with the game running in the background. So what you are really doing when you put someone's character in jail is locking their computer for however long the sentence is and making it unusable.
There is literally nothing to do in prison, and very few options to roleplay, since most people there are just AFK anyway. Again, and I can't stress this enough, this punishes the player, not the character.
Totally 100% agree, there should be more options to maybe get out of prison sooner at the expense of not being afk, and definitely being able to serve your prison time while offline (maybe at 1/2 the speed.) I'd like to see maybe some jobs you can do in order to earn "good behavior" and get out early. Stuff like sweeping X amount of items, or cleaning up litter inside the interior of the prison that reduces your prison time based on how much of the task you do.
Prison used to be 1 hour, but that felt too short for the cops. Then they increased it to 8 hours, then reduced it to 4 hours, and now its been settled to 2 hours for quite a while now. It does feel like an ooc player punishment, but again there has to be some sort of harsh punishment otherwise players would go nuts just killing because the only repercussion is finding a new pistol.
So in conclusion, I totally agree there are a lot of issues with PD and the prison system and the way we RP death. I do feel like cops sometimes do some light to medium metagaming (talking over teamspeak about IC things, disliking your character on an alt so they try to arrest you on there criminal character, etc.). But the solution isn't to let people RP death everytime they get into a police shootout because it happens nearly every time the police try to make an arrest. There would be no criminals in the prisons, and there would be no repercussions to being a violent criminal (and there needs to be!).
This is coming from a player with over 60 imprisonments on his main character and most of those are 4 hours.

You're able to do tricks on a dirt bike also, cars I can understand but light bikes are different.

well it was a bug that was already fixed 4 months ago, it just came back in the newest patch so I figured its a bug to be reported.

Your not supose to controll cars and bikes in the air. Cause doing stunt jumps is a bit unrealistic. Thats why its so easy to stall vehicles. To avoid all the stunt jumps
I'm not saying cars and motorcycles, I'm saying BMX bikes. Which anyone can control in the air in real life.

Date and time (provide timezone): 8/9/18
Character name: Leron Davis
Issue/bug you are reporting: All bikes are unable to be controlled while in the air. This bug was fixed several months ago, see here "https://gyazo.com/2d4779f1531081241636e74f49375fc2"
it kinda sucks to use bmx bikes now because you can't do any spins or tricks.Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: get on a BMX, and when you jump you will not be able to twist

Would be very cool to implement something like a hit register like you're saying, but as it is now every criminal would RP death because nobody wants to spend 2 hours in jail. If you get downed from a shotgun from close range, or a sniper, or swat team unloading on you, sometimes the cops will allow you to rp death because its more realistic... However, most of the time you won't be able to rp death otherwise people will always choose that option rather than going to jail for 2 hours.
+1 your idea to implementing a hit register type thing

Yeah this would be sick in an ideal world if everybody rp'd it, but if you play on your criminal at all and down 100 people i bet you 80 of them don't reply to the frisk, and there is hardly a big enough admin presence like @SteScotland said.

Well, just addressing the grind part, not everyone should be running with AKs, but in a roleplaying server, most people should not be pushed to grind jobs they don't have any interaction with other player or the interactions are close to non existing. And to be honest, a city full of AKs might not be bad if people knew how to RP properly, but you can't when everyone is afraid of losing the pistol they have.
The intention of the jobs isn't to push people away from RP scenarios. Things like courier and bus are good for RP, but players don't walk down the road to wait at the bus stop, and players are hardly at their houses to ever interact with the mailmen which is why it seems like it's pushing people away from RPing. That's just the way it is, you aren't forced to do those jobs and are encouraged to apply for the jobs on the forums like MD, PD, etc. where more human interaction occurs.
A city full of AK's would be fucking horrible even with the best RP, and you should be fearful of losing your pistol, why wouldn't you be?

No, roleplay is not necessarily about realism, it's actually contrary to some extent, it's being a character you can't be in real life, because real life is already mundane and has a lot of routine.
Okay, so would you rather that everything be free on the server if working for your things is bad for rp?
by the way, the original post is a +1 for me

Just now, Dasmin_Nowe said:
Someone still has to grind up for that amount.
that's just one of the ways to get an AK, the problem is, if it's easy to get an AK then the whole city runs around with AK's... how about create your own criminal empire, and get your ak's for free by profiting off of ones that you sell? how about you join a criminal faction that sells their ak's at a cheaper price than import to higher ranking members? how about instead of using AK's, you use a pistol if you can't afford an AK?
"grinding" aka working for your things isn't even a bad thing and is how real life functions (RP is about realism right?).

This is not a RP server. This is an economic server. I would even say this is just an enhanced version of GTA Online. If you are looking for legit good RP, you should try other servers, where you can create RP situations by using mod menus; where you don't have to grind money for two straight hours to buy an AK, get caught by the police and wait another two hours in prison.
Police RP is unrealistic and boring as hell. Criminal RP is not rewarding. This server is not what you are looking for if you want good RP situations.
yo this is just a downright fib.
if you want legit good rp scenarios you create them. you don't need a mod menu, or a different server, you need a little bit of creativity and common sense. if you're playing this server to grind money to buy items that can be lost in an instant, then you're playing it wrong. instead of grinding 2 hours of courier job for an AK, how about you make a plan to steal one from someone you know might have one. if you're mad about getting caught by the police, then maybe be a smarter criminal. turn your phone off, don't be obvious about your crimes, and map out escape routes. @Phil McGee went like 2 months without being caught with a whole page of charges, with an ak on him the whole time.
police RP can be unrealistic if you play it like a lot of the cops do, but if you look at an actual RP stream like @Cooksley's you can see him doing legit rp and making it fun. you just lack the creativity and patience to find/create good rp scenarios.

Ninja looting is an idiotic rule, unless not well role played.
If you still have the option to make a 911 call, I agree there should be some resistance when someone tries to rob you and you're down.I think a proper use for this type of robbing would be something like:
- PLAYER 1
/me checks up on the stranger's body laying on the ground
/do what do I find?
- PLAYER 2
/do A cracked skull
- PLAYER 1
/do is stranger unconscious?
- PLAYER 2
/do yes
- PLAYER 1
/me looks around to see if there's anybody around
/me attempts to search the man's pockets
/do is there any resistance?
- PLAYER 2
/no
(if yes - player must explain why, but I don't see a realistic approach towards a cracked skull)
- PLAYER 1
/me looks for a wallet
/do does stranger have a wallet? (by default - yes)
- PLAYER 2
yes
- PLAYER 1
/mug (attempts to take money if any)This is how it was back a few months ago before the rage client, but it was pretty shitty because salty downed players wouldn't comply/would stall /me's and /do's until their backup arrived. In a perfect world, your example should be how it goes, but especially right now (with all the new players, who barely know what /me's, and /do's are) I don't think this is our best option.
I'll +1 the ninja looting being added to the rules... If people are being punished for something, it should be explicitly stated what they're being punished for so they can do better in the future.
