I don't quite get why this is only something required for factions? And although, like many, I get your point, I think it's a choice of the player to go home to log off. I rather enjoy RPing bedtime, but I think most normal people would find it a waste of time and rather boring going home just to log off....especially if it means less RP if you have to both start and end at your home, which may be out in Chumash or Paleto. Yes, I'd like to see people not log off directly in public, but that's a tough one to enforce.

That's because every unit goes to every high speed chase.... Literally seen 5-6 cruisers chasing cars for 30+ minutes. You know im not wrong.... One or two patrols at the bank or other "NCZs" could be managed. Problem is many PD are here to get in chases and gunfights. And not RP for the sake of RP.

Make the area bigger when searching bags/animal corpses etc

Same as others, hunting is fine, but not other things, namely bags... When I lay out my 4 bags of pretty outfits, I don't want it to be harder then it already is to find the right top for my miniskirt. Thanks. -
I think at some point I would have agreed.... BUT the city has changed quite a bit, and I feel rather safe, if I am smart. And as time goes on, I grow less and less fond of NCZs. I think NCZs break the immersion pretty badly. People are constantly arguing OOC there about breaking NCZ...what is or isn't a crime etc. It is also used as a bad RP safe haven when an otherwise legit crim vs. civ RP happens, and a civilian flees to an NCZ....like Tequilala or yellow jack....where realistically it would provide no protection. I would prefer the server continues to modify and balance PD vs Gang RP, so civilians feel safe, if they are being smart. This of course would need a lot more work, but more NCZs I think are a poor way to fix an issue which is improving on its own, through the SASD, general balancing, enforcing PG and DM against civilians etc. I would rather see NCZs go away, and regular patrols of officers posted at the bank at all times as a form of active, RP intensive NCZ.

We do need a judicial system, and one is in the works (granted I've been hearing that for 6+ months). But I think, like the government faction, it will be hard to keep staffed and operating. People seem to lose interest in that sort of thing. Maybe a few judges in town you can go to when you need them, but even that will be hard to keep up at regular hours. And those people would hold a ton of power....and there is no guarantee they won't be just as corrupt as the cops can be when judging. I am sure "certain" illegal factions would love this though....
-
As been stated, I feel the server is hectic enough without criminals gunning down cops to get cruisers, and driving around in cabs, ambulances and tow trucks. Yes, there is some valid RP that could be done, and would make for an occasional good RP scenario.... (And by the way, I have occasionally seen a well played out scene, and the PD or taxi driver lets the vehicle stay out for the sake of quality RP) But FAR too many people would abuse this system if it were implemented. We already have police chases on tractors, and people using ATM trucks as free rental vehicles. We need more realistic criminal RP across the server, and less chaotic nonsense. As an example, Cab robberies would skyrocket if people could keep the cabs permanently. Scripted work vehicles should remain off limits. In my opinion.

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!!!
-
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.
