This makes a lot of since, simply because you often are hungry and thirsty at the same time....IC and OOC. Sort of seems like an obvious addition that would help both the Taco worker and the general community.

Yah we should do that, and many do it. I know The Wanted make an extra effort to communicate any time a rule is violated, by them or others, and many other factions do as well. But as others stated, it is more of a culture thing, and a community thing, rather then something that should be a hard/fast rule. Simply because it can ruin an otherwise quality RP experience to stop everything to have an OOC conversation because the only way to file a player report is if I have some lengthy conversation with every rule breaker. I agree we SHOULD talk more, but disagree we MUST talk more.

Once again, agree with this completely. Yes, proper RP is still required, yes they should do /me and /do. That's exactly right. So if it doesn't matter, why not give control of your personal inventory to the player? All of those things would still apply, but the player would have control over it and be able to stop a non-rp or rulebreak. The way it is now....we get downed, we get looted, and now I have to do a forum report, and a refund request....unless it is less than $25k, in which case I am just SOL. Wastes time, requires extra work on the victim, and encourages bad RP on people doing this. I would also like to point out...sometimes people are downed by bugs or MC or glitches....yet they still have no control over stopping looting... If there is a choice, control over a persons belongings and body should remain with the player (the same way dropping guns or looting cash or frisking works).

All of this directly impacts this suggestion. Unless these things are also dealt with, I am using them as the reasoning more businesses is a bad idea. But I get why certain people would do anything to fight off limiting business ownership and the huge wealth gap.

In our current state of things, this would result in the already mega rich buying them up and becoming even richer. It would add no new RP situations, be limited to a tiny portion of the community, and make the already skewed wealth gap even larger. Without implementing a host of changes such as: 1) Some sort of limitations on business ownership 2) Requiring more online activity from owners 3) Implementing an employee systems to businesses 4) Finding a way to fairly distribute the income of scripted businesses 5) Etc. Scripted businesses would not have any positive effects on the community, in my opinion. Scripted businesses are currently nothing but an automated, uninteresting system which only benefit a select few.

Have yall ever been injured and someone tries to pick you up and carry you?? What are you guys basing this on? Ask people who train this stuff, it is not easy and sometimes impossible to carry a body without them helping you do it. (ie balancing on you, holding onto you, helping stand and hang over your shoulder etc.) And if you have a broke rib, and dude just runs up and tries to grab you up...I promise you are gonna fight them off...it hurts, a lot. Yall act like a injured person becomes a sack of potatoes you can just grab up and run around with. It is so unrealistic... And it is powergaming when you do it to someone without taking time to RP it out. Especially when you do it to a civilian who had a minor accident and didn't get shot in the face with a shotgun. The main reason people are for this, is because it speeds up the combat and crim situations, but someone going down in a firefight is NOT something that only takes 5 seconds to deal with.

I am also really confused why being injured is ALWAYS considered incapacitated?? Or when this was ruled?? We can talk while injured, interact with medics while injured, use a cell phone while injured, use a radio while injured, during medic RP we can stand and walk while injured we choose the injury when injured, and even lock and unlock vehicles nearby while injured... We can still be active roleplayers while downed...I see zero reason why we can't attempt to fight off a thief, or refuse to be carried while injured. It should be RPd like any other situation, with both parties respecting each others right to have control of their characters and bodies...within the limits of the scenario (of course understanding a downed player would be at a disadvantage). Anything else is Power Gaming in my mind.

Yah theres a big difference between going in someones pockets and taking stuff, and dragging a person around forcefully and stuffing them in a trunk and driving off. I actually think the opposite should happen, and you need a /accept command after proper RP to have your body moved. I've had...on multiple occasions...people grab me up and stuff me in a trunk and go for a joyride laughing hysterically...with an ambulance on the way or even on site. It is complete non rp and PG, and should be harder, not easier to ruin people's experience with this sort of RP. Yes, I get I can go and report it...but it could work the other way as well and they need to report me for NOT accepting the carry. At least that way I would maintain control of my own character and body...

DCC wants this. We want to be able to serve customers, no doubt. But also realize how frustrating it is to be waiting forever because there's only 1 driver on. (or worse 1 manager on and they are busy doing manager stuff and not taking calls.) Also....(this is a bit more personal/IC but...) I hate finally rushing to answer 3-4 calls, get to a guy, then being treated like absolute crap because they were waiting so long..... So yah I can confirm, me and others at DCC strongly agree to this!!!

The difference is, the functionality is not being removed. Just requiring and forcing use of the functionality in a realistic way. In your analogy, it would mean making it so drags and BF400s are not capable of such Non-RP feats. Which I think a lot of people would actually agree to. Removing the ability to abuse a system, especially one that is hard to prove, is what we are talking about. We are not asking to completely remove MDCs. (Just as no one has ever asked to completely remove drags, just make them behave more realistically).

If it's "never" used this way, and it can be abused, why should the command exist? Just because it's easier isnt a good reason. It would be far more realistic to have to type out the full name (and know it to begin with). I do not play a criminal, and have an unbiased view here.... This is clearly a powergaming mechanic, and should not be an option at all. Wether it is used, or rarely used etc...shouldnt matter. It can very easily be abused ( and there seems to be evidence it is being abused). Therefore it is my opinion...it should be removed. Laziness is not a good enough reason to keep it.

Yah it may be that you called, then the lone driver on duty went off duty. I have been the only one on before, and had calls waiting, but had to get offline. So those calls stay in the queue even though no one is on duty. The system could use some improvements for sure, which DCC (namely ChuckM) has asked for. So hopefully those come through.

What Kenichis said. And if you are walking away to reset the call, you are continually moving yourself to the bottom of the list. Which may be why it seems to take so long. That technique just makes it look like you are spamming the system, and continually puts you last in the queue. Also what may be happening, is those 1 or 2 drivers are actually management and no drivers are taking calls. The fix we have asked for is to have a "driver" toggle as DCC employees so we can turn on/off ourselves as drivers. But that may take a while to get...like maybe never. But yah...we DO NOT need or want a way for customers to spam ping us. I have never seen the queue bug...if your call goes unanswered it is NOT because we dont see your request.

A guide could help as well. Feel free to collect up what you think is missing from the current guides, and create one. Or reply to the relevant guides that are there and they may update their guide to include that info. I think an in game tutorial is unlikely, and once played cannot be referenced again. Guides are always accessible.

Cars in water - Generally an admin can get it and send it to Mors pretty quick. I'm not sure it should just vanish, there are times you can drive across a river with a truck and it might cause it to despawn. Id rather see functionality for mechanics to send it to mors, after RPing recovering the sunken vehicle. Double click punch - As for the double click punch: before, MC punches happened far too often, sometimes injuring people, and always distrupting RP. I think the double click punch should stay.

Standard reply about the entire outfit UI needs to change/improve. Saved outfits Closets Named items instead if IDs Preview window on mouse-over Fix the bugs that cause items to be lost Etc etc

Disagree its negligible. And disagree it is such and easy and simple process. Especially for a new player. But i copy, you do not think its an issue. And feel nothing should be done. New players just need to figure it out. I guess we just disagree is all. No worries. I will stop responding and see if others have opinions on the matter.

I get the reasoning behind the lack of a rule. (I dont agree with it, but I understand it.) That being said, at what point do admins and devs consider something a problem and do something to fix it? I believe (as do many others...even some who agree with no scam rules) that this is a problem that should be addressed. I think most of us agree, the new player experience should not include putting in 30 or 40 hours into the server, finally being able to afford the car you want, and being scammed because the rules are rather muddy, and not well known or understood. (Im still not sure I even understand what is or isnt allowed, or what can be refunded etc). So...when do we start considering ways to fix it? Or do we just keep watching new players leave the server over stuff like this...

No worries. You can copy/paste it there. Then just delete the original post here, and retitle it "delete please". And an admin will take care of it when they can.

This should be in the player report subforum.

Just a note, this has been a consistent recommendation for at least 6 months. There are countless threads on it. It would be nice, however, to get a dev/admin to at least state why they refuse to add more space. It seems like a pretty obvious need for the community (and directly helps the scam situation talked about recently). Then at least we could have a meaningful discussion with understanding of what the devs see as the issue/concern.

1) There is usually no room on HE 2) There are other reasons people need another way to transfervehicles (ie trading property for property etc.) 3) If the tax really is the ONLY reason the scam rules for cars exist, they could add a command that takes the tax out during a /transfervehicle command. This exists IRL, as buying a car from a friend still requires paying tax. 4) The issue stated was about scamming new players, so they would likely be unaware of HE, the tax, or scamming protection in NCZ...especially if they are being lied to in OOC. 5) You can blame the new player for not knowing the rules all you want, but it doesnt help the situation. There are plenty of things we teach new players, a ton of IC and OOC info and nuances to the rules. This type of treatment of new players is bad business, and something should be done about it. 6) 88 players online this morning...these types of incidents is part of the reason a lot of new players quit. We are losing otherwise dedicated and committed people to this "its your fault newb!! Stop crying!!" Mentality some people have.

Yah this would be nice. Or anything to speed up the games because of AFKrs. Would also be nice to add a check/fold/call checkboxes.....this would speed up play greatly.

But what will I do when you're getting furniture and I get bored??

Another request that has been asked for over and over. I am not sure why they don't do this? But yah, agree we could use a few more parking lots. Maybe Paleto, and one near the casino.
