  3. Return Comet Retro to Dealerships

    I mean what do you expect when you're suggesting people lose up to 10 million?

    Drags aren't added to dealerships, they just had some performance adjustments to make them more realistic and lessen the constant abuse of them. Comet Retros aren't easily abused, the speed that they can produce is balanced against their poor handling and average acceleration, you still need skill to drive one. 

    Show me a comet selling for 10 million and I'll buy two on the spot.

    Sell them from dealerships for 10million a piece then, you don't lose the value of your asset and players can buy them as well

    -1 it was removed for a reason, also people have bought these vehicles for over 10x dealership price, it would be a huge hit financially for a lot of people. 

    This is not an economy sink as you described it as the money spent would just go to the dealership owner anyway.

    It's clearly not an economy sink (and I never claimed it was). People bought drags for 3x their current value as well, so a minority losing some value of an asset isn't a big deal. I see mostly comet owners are responding here to not return them.

    -1  if you dont have money for one that doesn't mean they have to return to dealerships to get one just go work

    Even if you have money it's almost impossible to buy it....nobody will sell it because it's still best car in the server and it's false scarcity by the imports. Allow everyone to use such a vehicle is the best solution.

    This car is not so good anymore when 240KMH Limit is introduced in the city, and it provides lots of good RP opportunities. It is also getting harder to purchase it as you will almost never see it on HE or anywhere else like that to be sold, while lots of people will pay it to buy it easily.

     

    This car should be available in dealership so everyone can enjoy it, otherwise it will be like the super cars and disapear from the server or only sell for 30M or something crazy like that.

     

    What do you think?

  7. Add more scripted businesses (gas stations, grocery stores, etc.), and allow them to fail

    Some businesses provide a lot of RP and some don't. There organizations that work hard to gain trust and make their businesses/organization well known to the respectable people of Los Santos. I don't expect too much from something like a gas stations that only needs ads and a blip to run but loan companies, security businesses and clubs offer a lot of RP and involve a lot of people.

    Businesses do fail. When your license costs as much as your profit per month, that is a failed business and some of them are not as successful as others.

    I agree that there isn't a good number of businesses and some of them cost a lot just because they're rare, not because they actually make a lot of money. Servers with less players have more than our server.

     

     

    Just to clarify, the businesses I am referring to are the AFK/scripted ones:
    - Gas Statiosn
    - Gun Stores
    - General Stores
    - Dealerships

    All other businesses (restaurants, security, clubs, law services, MMA clubs, what have you) are run in an awesome IC way, and the barrier to entry for many of these is securing a property, and they provide great RP, and if run well, financial benefits.

    In regards to scripted businesses, they do NOT fail, ever. The only way for it to fail is deportation / abandonment, otherwise they continue to print money for the owner so long as stock is maintained. While yes, some are not as successful as others, failure should mean losing money/bankrupting the owner, and not 'making less money than {another scripted business}' or what  have you. 

    Long time business owners have bank accounts in excess of 50-100m; these are figures that in the current economy will never be matched even with 10x more playtime at the same efficiency as the original business owner had to invest.

    As it currently stands, scripted businesses provide 0 RP (no, ordering stock and colluding with other business owners in discord to set prices is not RP), and are only meant to provide a quite obscene amount of passive income to the owner.

    1) Add some competition to the businesses. Allow them to order in bulk for less money, make deals with specific distributors (for example Ill buy 5000 lockpicks a week for cheaper, but I need to keep buying them for 10 weeks or else face some sort of fine), and have the distributors they order from share stock. Allow businesses to fail. 

           a) Potential for 'distribution rep' job, who bargains with businesses and sets prices on stock.

    2) Make the prices of businesses not be so limited by their scarcity. The current model of business prices is essentially "I paid n million for it, I won't sell for any less as this is extremely scarce and valuable regardless", and the next owner does the same, driving their price up infinitely. Business prices are already out of reach of most anyone who has joined and grinded hard in the past year, and is mostly reserved for old-timers who either were previous business owners, have grinded in a legal faction for years, or got lucky with some investments. 

    3) Everyone likes to compare e-rp to 'real life', and guess what, in real life a small grocery store is as cheap/attainable as a house, while the price on eclipse (due to the aforementioned points) is many times higher than that. Why can't I open a small shack that just serves food/water, and has  deals with only those distributors for say 5-600k in one of the empty storefronts? 

  9. Rapid GT gaining significant speed boost when bumper is damaged/removed

    in Archive

    Posted

    Date and time (provide timezone): Any

    Character name: Any, tested by several people

    Issue/bug you are reporting: When the rapid GT front or rear bumper is damaged it gives the vehicle a significant speed boost (able to go 240 consistently)

    Expected behavior:  Vehicle would not gain significant speed boost

    Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Damage the front or rear bumper (you will hear a bump sound while driving 2x a second or so) and drive the car on flat

    Vehicle license plate number*: Any rapid gt maxed

  10. Ocelot F620 able to hit 240 with ease

    The speed depends on how much FPS you get. This is the same as a lot of cars.

     

    Right, and I get the same fps in f620 as i do in comet/811/{other cars}

     

    Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE is hitting insane speeds in F620,  a 40k stock car right now is hands down the best 2 person car on the server
