Feels like an overlooked feature, should be a thing +1

+1

While I like the core idea of this suggestion I think there a few problems. First, the 5% chance. The 5% chance to get info on drops has showed us to be completely void of RP and all police will do is go and collect the drop for us instead. It is impossible to counter because we don’t actually have a snitch but we have to act like we do. Let IB do investigation and figure out druglabs that way, either through informants or maybe by following vehicles. This does leave the question of it maybe being too hard to find or there not being any clues as to where druglabs are. I would propose there to be some kind of penalty for fucking a recipe up, such as smoke coming from the building. Perhaps also make the system a little harder and not just putting items in a row (Maybe a system where you have to pour certain chemicals to an exact amount, etc). All and all I think we can all agree something needs to change urgently so really any form of revamp for druglabs are fine by me.

There is no fun in RP'ing when there is nothing to do. It's easy to say thats its not about grinding money when you are a cop and you get paid for being on duty.

Chopping cars nowadays is already a thing basically no one does for money anymore for the following reasons: 1. You have to do it with multiple people to get a ride back and for protection so you always have to split the money 2. SD actively patrols chopshops so you constantly have to flee out because they keep driving in with sirens If you add another downside to stealing vehicles, no one would do it anymore. Eliminating another way to make money in a time when there is dire need for criminal content is an all round bad idea

It's also nonrp for a police department to have multiple super cars at their disposal but this is a game in the end

Just because a tactic can be effective doesn't mean it should be stopped by OOC means. Get better, think about what you're doing and stop criminals. Just like @vacant mentioned, there are already cops that have become good at blocking off multiple exits through coordination fuck 12 and fuck sanchez tho cant fuck with no cops

+1, punishment appeals are often indicative of how staff interprets certain rules and helps give a better understanding of the rules and what to do and what not to do. It is important information that should be public for everyone to see

The trade off is fair. Take the risk of getting scammed and don’t pay the tax or pay the tax and don’t risk getting scammed.

I said 4G’s because the other interior I’m in most is the Tavern which is a player made business and I don’t have the issue there at all.

Oh my bad, video still relevant to the topic however

Gathering spots are great, but they do not require NCZ's. Infact having them be an NCZ makes them toxic becuase people can say whatever they want without any form of repercussion. Take LSC back in the day for instance, a great place to meet people and it wasn't an NCZ. Forceing people out of these NCZ's will make it so people are forced to set up these own meeting areas again which is a great opportunity for good RP and an organic way to make a community.

Zilian Dent Zilian Dent was born in the Netherlands to a middle class family. His youth was unremarkable and he never really struggled with anything serious. Much like his parents, he is very direct and says what’s on his mind. Some perceive this as being impolite, he considers it honesty. After attending high school and working low wage jobs in the Netherlands, Zilian starts dreaming of leaving his country behind. He has a few friends but they are all very distant and he wants to experience something new and exciting. One day, he decides to leave his country behind and leaves for Los Santos. With no money and no plan, Zilian finds himself in a weird situation. He doesn’t really know what he wants because he’s never had to think about it. The first people he talks to tell him that they’ve got an easy way to make money, if he’s interested. Without thinking Zilian says yes, he really doesn’t have anything else to do. That easy way to make money turns out to be robbing general stores. Zilian is an amateur and it doesn’t take long for him to get caught and go to jail. This leaves him no other choice than to become a criminal. Now that he has a charge on his record, he can no longer be employed for legal jobs. He doesn’t really think twice about it and once he gets out he decides to get himself some new clothes. La Familia Unbeknownst to him at the time, the jacket he bought was what was used by a gang to identify themselves. After repeatedly being asked if he was a part of said gang, he decided to try and get in touch with their leader, Thyrone Johnson. Being as direct as he is, Zilian asked Thyrone for work. Thyrone appreciated how forthcoming he was and offered him a spot in the Familia. And so, suddenly, Zilian was part of a criminal organisation. La Familia taught Zilian how to be a criminal and all the ins and outs of criminal life in Los Santos. He made some good friends while with La Familia, such as Alexey Alexeev and Maruse Priviet. Being with La Familia however also meant being with The Council. At that time, The Council consisted of La Familia, the Irish, the Clowns, Los Zetas and the Shadow Cartel. Zilian was particularly interested in the Los Zetas. In them, he saw the American lifestyle he had dreamed off when first moving to Los Santos. He saw a family of people that weren’t afraid to speak their mind, just like him and were there for their brothers and sisters. He often hung out with them at drug labs and his interest for the organisation grew with every new member he met. While the people of La Familia had treated him exceptionally well, he felt like it was time for him to move on. Los Zetas After speaking with both Jay Gamble and Thyrone Johnson, Zilian made the decision to become a part of the Los Zetas. Zilian quickly felt at home in blue, playing music at their parties but also by getting his hands dirty and making money for his gang. His hard work and his directness earned him respect. The Los Zetas leadership saw leadership potential in Zilian and promoted him to Enforcer. In a leadership role, Zilian did not disappoint and soon he was promoted again, this time to a Captain. As a Captain, Zilian was put in charge of taking care of recruitment. Taking his job very seriously, he made sure every person that came in to the gang was screened carefully and with us for life. The Downfall The violence and the wars that are daily occurrences for a member of the Zeta Cartel started getting to Zilian’s head. He felt like he was stuck in a vicious cycle with no visible way out. One day, after witnessing Thraxamillian Reeves decapitate an enemy of the organisation right on Grove Street, Zilian felt like he had to get away. He felt terrible for what he had done and the suffering he had inflicted. Responsible for recruitment he knew there was only one way out of the Cartel: Death. With the help of a police officer, he staged his death at the Sandy Shores Motel and disappeared, leaving town. The Return Returning to the Netherlands, Zilian felt weird. Yes he was safe, yes he was away from the suffering and violence but his family was gone. He was without purpose and without any form of excitement. After working a shitty 9 to 5 job for 3 months, Zilian decide to return. His family, obviously upset with him after finding out they had mourned the loss for one of their own for so long even though he wasn’t dead, was reluctant to take him back in. It took Zilian multiple weeks to convince the leadership of the Los Zetas to give him a second chance. But a second chance he got, and take it he did. He revived his DJ skills and met back up with his old friend, Hoxton Curry. Now, Zilian lives a turbulent lifestyle once again. Partying on the weekends and shooting shit up throughout the week, Zilian keeps himself busy to make sure his thoughts don’t get the better of him again.

I think we've said atleast 5 times now that it literally blocks 1 extra bullet, how could that ever be dangerous for balance. Having extra cash doesn't mean I want to spend it on something that really doesn't have any value. The 25k you're suggesting is the same as an Assault Rifle stock with ammo and maybe a few attachments. Armor does definitely not hold the same value. I'd rather be able to shoot someone 100 times then be able to take 1 shot more.

I am glad that there are many of you that agree the price needs to be lowered. However I still think 25-20k is too expensive. Being shot once or getting tapped with a car and losing something that is worth 20k is just frustrating and makes no sense. I really don’t feel like even at 10k it is a must have or anything along those lines, but atleast it’s something fun to buy and use without being incredibly frustrating.

That’s up to you, but I’ll pay 10k to take an extra bullet and to look good. It is a reasonable price and 40k is not. I wouldnt be against there being multiple grades of armor available for different prices aswell.

Yes that is exactly my point, congratulations you get it. That’s why it should be cheaper. It’s still not going to be something I use all the time, but atleast I don’t have to go broke to buy it

This makes no sense, there is absolutely point to having it but it’s just too expensive to be viable right now.

Update just been told that you do keep it on relog so forget about point 2

I understand your confusion considering the fact that you have no access to imports, however consider the following: 1. It is a slither of body armor. 1 punch or being tapped gets rid of it, it is 1/4 of the body armor police is issued 2. Whenever you log out (or crash) the body armor dissapears. 3. You have to import them in 10’s, so Importing them is atleast 400k Proof enough should be that literally NO ONE uses it.

Simple suggestion: Reduce the price of body armor. Body armor is just a gimmick right now that no one uses because it is way too expensive. I suggest the price is lowered to 10k instead of 40k. This way it still has a reasonable value so that not everyone has it constantly using it, but at the same time it is a viable option and not way too expensive to use like it is right now.
