1. RNG where a cop has a chance to drop a certain number, get enough of the numbers and crack the PD communication systems. This gives someone a 12 hour window (invited into teamspeak) to be able to access the communication of the police. This would need tweaking but you get the idea.

good shit mate, keep it up mate Dunno why but it reminds me of Tom Pepe (knomads) - River runs deep.

mega + 1

keep low end yes, but not the same style. it would be best to have for example low end - 0-30k (30 spaces) Low_mid - 30k-60k (25 spaces) mid - 60k-100k (20 spaces) high mid - 100k-150k (15 spaces) high - 150k-whatever (10 spaces) ofcouse these numbers need chaning and tweaking but its gets the point across. The idea is to always allow for a few empty spaces in each markets, by having more opportuing and variety to sell, the markets ought to be more efficient. If we have only one or two markets, when they get full, what do we do then.

Yet another suggestion regarding high-end, again, as ive mentioned before, this is almost a weekly suggestion now. Something does need to be done, however, since the last suggestion about this i have still yet to see any word, feedback or insight into this from the development team, if anyone has anything that any developer has mentioned on this then please link it. Its getting to the stage where a full boycott IC of high end is the only way to get anything done. The suggestions you make, i believe will not actually help with the problem. 1. you mention merging the markets together, a) as mentoned this would create lag, but also, b) having multiple markets is best for roleplay, and the overall economy, 2. You miss i think, why highend is full, multiple players with multiple characters flippling multiple vehicles a) if you just increase the space, then it will just get full again, as more and more people get into flipping cars b) a limit on how many cars can be sold at once, by a player, not a characer is needed. The curent state of the car indsutry and markets is so bad that "ease" to the player when buying a car should be bottom of the list in priority. It seems like this would increase people buying cars but no, it wont. The two majror impacts right now are 1) people know they cannot sell future vehicles so easily. This means they have less incentive to buy vehicles in progressives stages, this is one reason why we have a disproporinate amount of specific vehicle s being driven my relativly newer players. They know they cnat sell their vehicles easy in future so why bother, might as well just get the best vehicles first right? 2) There is nothing stopping me from having 4 altts, all selling 2 cars at high end a) this is an obvious one, not much to explain. dunno if i explained this well, its late and im tired. (( sorry about the multiple posts, no idea what happenned. )) MESSAGE TO DEVLOPERS - i understand the reluctance to increase capacity, as by not increasing the capcity more and more players use weazel news, this promotes roleplay, i understand that, but its almost counter productive at this stage.

Me and another player got into a roadside accident, we were both speeding around a narrow road. We collided and the other player went down. Both being in an RP server, both having been in RP when the crash happenned, you would think that i would be allowed to rp my injuries and then rp rob them for being an idiot on a bike. Nope, was not allowed, was told if i rob them it is then VDM. I argued my case that at the time of collision we were both engaged in RP, with the server and each other, as we RP all the time, not just when another player is present. The player then switched to admin for just a moment, then switched back, indicating that they were right in the situation. Being a new player at the time i let it go and just carried on. Of course since then i know fully now that it is 100% within the rules, weird though right?

RP is basically acting , you are correct. However, i think the argument is centered around how many are actually "acting" vs how many are using the RP to just throw insults around, when their character does not need to at that time. I think you over-estimate the level and number of players who are actually "acting".

ahh right yes sorry i get what you are saying now. Sweet, i agree. Combined with the fact that many faction members are gang members (fail rp imo) doesnt help.

hahaha, its like he knew he was awkwrd saying it. lol funny though

I dont think its a case of "just" needing money, my point was tht to a certain degree i understand that for many roleplay scenarious you need money, or assets at least. Like if you want to RP running a hotel, build rooms and such then you need a hella lot of time and money.

I mean, its pretty straight mate tbf.

you know that money helps enable RP right?

I have to agree with OP. I came onto the serve to RP as much as I could, when I first got here I managed to RP quite a bit, keep my head down and have a few laughs, but as time has gone on I too have started to see the lack of RP that is available. Admittedly I am now a gang leader, we try to RP but it's very very hard. So like on of my things is that my members should not really have part time jobs at weasel news or the mechanics, yet the biggest gangs have their members working here. We try not to shoot cops as they are working men and women, but they just stop us for nothing much these days, and cause I don't fight them they just stop me, detain me for a bit then let me go. Overall, after being on he server since June I have come to realize that many people live by the motto "win first, roleplay second" and this is widespread. Literally just go to LSC and look at all the fail roleplay with all the gangsters working there. The thing is though, if I don't start to lower my RP standard and just do the same low level RP as other gangs, then we are massively hindered in our progression. By having higher roleplay standards than others you put yourself at a gameplay disadvantage. Tbf mate you summed it all up pretty well. Just thought I'd let you know you ain't alone in noticing the changing levels of Roleplay on the server. That being said, Eclipse still is the best place to Roleplay with DOC being the best RP faction/Group around, by far. One more crucial thing to note. The divide between veterans and server newcomers. Newcomers are attempting to engage in what they perceive to be fresh RP, however veterans have seen and done this all before. Instead of allowing newer server players to realize their own early game RP, veterans are hindering this and forgetting that they two started somewhere. Example - I tried personally with the two biggest gangs to pay them 50k in a suitcase for taxes. I wanted some neat gang RP for my newere server members, keep in mind this was something my guys had not experianced, I asked if we could meet in a private location, have a meeting and I would hand over the suitcase, instead, the leader of one gang "nah, just go to the bank get me the 50k and pay me in this alleyway next to the shop" the other gang I only managed to speak to their higher up, not leader, they ended up telling me to go inside the bank, just give them the cash there and then that is it. During all of this I had around 20 people who wanted to meet other gangs and have some early game suitcase money RP, very very basic stuff. Both gangs denied them this RP and I did it all in a 1v1 setting. Basically, veterans should help the new guys more, should they wish the server to retain people. TLDR Yeah OP is right. RP levels are not the highest.

can you link that please i think i missed it, ive been looking for like a roadmap or upcoming development thread but cant find it cheers mate

awesome work guys, good job, keep it up

He shoots he scores. Well put mate. Nice

Yeah unfortunately this is roleplay so they can say what they want. That being said, out of the 2 biggest gangs, 1 gang I've never heard say it, the other has many many many members who literally will just roll up to you and be like "nigga nigga, fight me, yo nigga fight me, fight me now nigga" Honestly it's just very very poor roleplayer and we shouldn't see organized crime syndicates operating in this low RP manner, street gangs however should get away with saying it all the time.

What do you mean they have X-ray?

I have footage of staff stunt jumping their police cars over mountains, all 4 wheels of the ground for a good few seconds, and they were in a car. Like they really were breaking roleplay,however when I challenged it I was told "if the mechanics allow it" - apparently this is a quote from father Osbourne. I believe the reason for this is that it is very hard to maintain standards across all jumps and all chases, what angle a hill was, what speed etc etc. Yet you some reason was to make a rule against the bikes. It's the cops that need a rule against them which says they shouldn't really be following a stunt bike over stunt, I mean, it's a stunt bike FFS. Second note, nah mate plz don't day that police should start passively using them. Roleplay guys, let's not forget the roleplay. Unless you looking to play only cops and robbers server.

Tbf OP has a point. Personally I wouldn't say the problem was solely the Drag bike. It is very very silly for a lot of people to be owning one tbf though. The problem is the low price of most of the vehicles on the server. All vehicles need to have a dramatic price increase, or money from jobs needs to be decreased. The second problem is the space at high-end. People know they will struggle to sell vehicles in the future, so why bother driving anything but the best rides, fix high-end and more people with drive a variety of vehicles Also, police should be able to permanently seize assets like drag bikes.

yes please all of the above. mega mega mega + 1 from myself, every single suggestion is well thought out and put together and will only improve the server. However, ive been playing this server since June. All of these suggestions have been mentioned many times since i have been here "Additional vehicle selling yards apart from highend/lowend. " - this is almost a weekly suggestion now The problem is, they keep getting brought up and the dev team in no way whatsoever ever indicates, hints or suggests that these suggestins are even remotly being considerd for scripting and implementation. Again, great suggestions from OP and i am keen to see a member of the dev team at least comment and acknowledge the suggestions beng made. EDIT: Also have the "dirty money" apply to the sellingo drugs, cause as of right now to sell drugs you just throw the drugs at a brick wall, get paid then bank.

Right ok.

I was told that a crash is part of roleplay, if you are both speeding around corners and crash well that the roleplay, you both could have gone slower or tool more care, if they then decide to rob you then I was told by a very very high ranking gang member that it is perfectly fine to then rob them. By not robbing them you are breaking roleplay, if you only don't rob then because you scared of the rules then it's meta gaming, and if you decide to call a medic, well you just a nice person. You cannot forget RP, when you choose to, if you guys crash, play the RP out, if one survives and one in injured, then it's just the luck of the draw which one you are.
