How to fix PD and make the *game* balanced, a pd suggestion
zooke1 replied to AnakinB's topic in Game Suggestions
The game is not supposed to be ''balanced''. Criminals are supposed to find a way to perform their activities without engaging in full on wars with LSPD and LSSD. The police force will always be greater than the criminal one and yet, criminals engage so easily with LEOs, knowing that it will be a bloodbath and they do that to ''avoid'' getting a GTA and illegal weapon charge. I understand it's a game and you want to have fun but it got too arcade at this point, it's too easy for everyone to just start fighting even when the reasons aren't too great. It is absolutely normal and justified for LSPD and LSSD to be superior, they have to think thing through 10 times more than you have to as a criminal, they have more restrictions and plenty of things to learn and put time into for becoming an officer / deputy. -
+1 Something I'd really like to see.

The only reason I disagree with this is that RAGE characters are very hard to be recognized. We have so few options to customize our characters, especially the body ( none ) that it it's impossible know a person just by their character's appearance. And considering the third person view that everyone uses, it's even harder to spot details that might tell your friend apart form a group of 10 males. A workaround this would be lowering the proximity, only show the ID until you get closer to the person. I'm not sure if that's possible to script but it would be a good idea to only see the alias when you're closer to the person.

Yeah, make all players be able to clean cars it's even spicier. Buy soap and wax for example ( 10.000$ as an example ) and have them last for 25-50 car washes, that way a player can buy a van and invest into the tools needed to wash a car, even a business license! Then just clean cars and get paid for it, there are many ways to do this, way better than the current setup.
-
Exactly! You don't require any type of special skill to clean a car! So it doesn't make sense! Would be awesome to see some player owned car washes and allow them to work in a similar way the chopshops work right now, with a toolchest and certain object like rags, soap, etc. It's definitely something people look forward to and I think that it's worth a try from the development team!

I believe it's fine as it is, just as any other thing in our life, if demand is lower than the offer, the price will go down, in our case, the roadworker pay. There are other freelance jobs that should be updated to make people earn a similar amount to the one the roadworker can bring, this would make everything more versatile, I am already bored of seeing 5 roadworker trucks filled with people going to every call. So you should probably consider trying out a new job, instead of having half the server work as roadworkers and the other half in PD/SD/MD. We need to bring the freelance balance back and rework some of the old jobs.

Hello everyone! So, first of all, I believe that I'm speaking on behalf of everyone when I say that the car wash prices are very unrealistic and nobody washes their car currently, this feature bringing 0 roleplay. What I would like to see is the Strawberry Carwash being used as a freelance job, making the price a realistic one ( around 500$ considering the server economy ) and the workers keeping a part of that sum + an hourly wage, just like Burger Shot and make it similar to the tollbooth, if the workers leave the area, they stop working and allow players to wash the cars even if there is no worker present, just like automatic repairs. Another problem on the same topic is cars getting filthy after only driving them for a few kilometers. When I bought one of the new cars, I drove from DCC to Paleto and the car was already dirty when I arrived ( not the maximum amount of dirt but it was very visible ) I do not think that is properly set up, it should be at least a bit more forgiving. But anyway, please keep in mind that a big part of this community revolves around the car scene, as there are many car lovers among us and this would only make everyone happier + bring new ways to interact with people. ( I am not sure if this was suggested in the past, after a quick search, I could only find a post from 2019 so I'm sorry if it was brought up recently )

Totally agree with this. I believe people are trying to make things way too real, which would result in less fun and ultimately decrease the number of players online. Say your car has been impounded for 10 hours, you get out of prison after 2 hours but you still have your driver's license. If that's the only car that they own, most people would just go offline and wait for the timer to expire. I don't think that's a good way to sort these things out, obviously, cars like the Issi Sport are an issue since everything related to them is extremely cheap and the car is an absolute monster ( Especially having a trunk where the body clips through the sides and floor, even though Osva said that the only cars that would receive trunks would be the ones that wouldn't cause the body to clip through ) So apart from the increased impound timer, I agree with Bala and would be nice to get an updated impound system.

Hi mate! As far as I'm aware, your concern is something to be treaded In-Character. Due to that, feel free to visit the IC government website here and look for a more useful place to take this concern to.

+1 Although this would be hard to do considering that RAGE does not like popped tires, they basically come back onto the vehicle after a few seconds and they are not synced for everyone Another issues would be abusing this command..Players would really have to consider the risk vs reward when doing this so they don't just go around slashing tires for no reason.. But overall, would be a nice perk to have if implemented correctly.

We used to be a thing long ago, was one of the best RP experiences I had on ECRP, hoping to see that again. Our old topic :

Hey, to be able to play on Eclipse-RP you need to have a copy of GTA V purchased on Steam or Epic Games. After that you need to download the Rage MP client here : https://rage.mp/ Once you installed RageMP, look for Eclipse Roleplay in the server browser or direct connect to play.eclipse-rp.net:22005 If you need more help, this video made by Jason will help you.

Repairing a car you have perm keys to thats not yours
zooke1 replied to Midorina's topic in Implemented Suggestions
+1 But....I am guessing it's hard to make and would need a whole /mechoffer rework, who would the script target if both the owner and a person that have keys are nearby? Or more people that have keys to the same car. Too much hussle for a car that will despawn in 2 hours or less sometimes -
As Jason said, there was a cap before and it was not the best thing. Players would just stack charges and get 2 hours of jail in the worst case. Having no cap it's a way of enchanting passive RP, most criminal players that I've seen, just use whatever it's scripted into the server to make money ( Stores, banks, drugs or robbing others ) For example, I get robbed and some thugs steal my .50 pistol, my bag and my Growler. that is close to 40k that I would lose. Takes me about 8 hours to make 40k with the minimum wage in companies. Why should the person that stole my goods be in jail for only 1 hour when I lose 8 hours making my money back, no to include the 35% tax. There has to be some balance here.

An option to remove standard furniture within owned houses/apartments.
zooke1 replied to Hexyl's topic in Pending Suggestions
Or maybe just let us have interiors similar to the business ones, it is very wierd when you have a huge house exterior and you go inside, interior being smaller than a 2G for 3G's. Also you can't even get on the 3G interior bed, limiting RP. Huge +1 and really hoping that there will be something changed about this. I do a lot of passive RP myself and houses have become a big factor, interiors as well. -
It does not happen the same with the Bus job. Even if you reconnect, it won't let you quit without returning the bus.
-
Date and time (provide timezone): 15:22 UTC Character name: Alex Mathers Issue/bug you are reporting: /quitjob working without returning the vehicle and then the vehicle becomes impossible to return. Expected behavior: When you are working as a coroner and for some reason you reconnect the server, it will allow you to /quitjob without returning the work vehicle, then being impossible to return it after quitting. This only happens if you reconnect the server while having a work vehicle out. I am not sure if it happens with other jobs and if it is, this would be a way for players to quit jobs without returning the vehicles, creating a bit of a problem and bug abuse. The video below explains the situation perfectly. I will try doing this on another job and comment below the result. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: https://streamable.com/xfaoa1 Vehicle license plate number*:

So now we can buy buildings randomly and setup our interior?

Well of course we re not talking about sport cars, maybe some Oracles, Exemplar, some old cars like Ingot, Stainer, nothing too fast or eye catching

How can UBER be used in a criminal activity / a rentable car because it could also be registred on the renter's name for the police.
-
Hello everyone, in this topic i want to introduce an idea, i don't know if it was brought into discussion before but this is my version. The UBER company would bring a PLUS for the ROLEPLAY INTERRACTIONS between players. I would recommend implemeting an APP on the phone where you can see available UBER drivers and the cars they are using / Price per KM or for a simple version adding a command in the chat like /uber /requestuber but i would go with the first idea. UBER company should have 1 manager and something like a headquaters when people can get the approbation to start having UBER affiliaton and there should also be a competitive price for DCC, higher maybe due to players wanting to be taken somewhere in better or just different cars than those used by DCC and at the end of the ride, a percent to be transfered into the company's treasury. RENT-A-CAR company would give a better alternative to the boring and slow CITYBEE, also unsafe. It could be just a company with one owner which would have to buy some cars, painted in one colour and make them rentable, if possible, adding longer renting periods, up to one week for a specific price or just renting a car for 1 hour or so, not like the CITYBEE system where you are taxed / km driven and at some point the scooter despawns, i really believe that it would be a success, considering many players can't afford to buy a car just to go to their job or whereever they have to go for lower costs. With these being said, i strongly agree that everyone can come up with better ideas regarding these two and i really wish people will respond with no hate, helping the community to improve by sharing their ideas with us.
