Repair/Reset gun durability
I am one of many players that have suffered from the gun decay system. Whether you're a newer criminal character that have bought second hand guns prior to the update that introduced a way to see maximum perfect condition, or a returning criminal character that has maintained their guns whilst not active.
Proposed change
As a way to resolve this, I propose that we introduce a durability gain of 80-100% back on all guns to accommodate for the previously very confusing script.
Why it should be repaired
During the time that decay has been implemented you would have to repair your guns twice in order for them not to fall into the lowest durability range. The previous 50% reduction of the maximum perfect condition was changed to 10%, therefore people that repaired previously twice, to keep your guns from reaching minimum durability suffer a 80% decrease in their weapons maximum perfect condition.
Rare guns are now basically rendered useless, people that have maintained these guns suffer from maintaining it, rather than the ones that have had them locked away forever.
People that bought guns second hand that was already repaired had no way to track the current state of the maximum perfect condition that the weapon was in. Making newer criminal characters suffer a substantial loss.
When the script was first implemented there was a lack of clarity and explaining of how it worked. The people that followed the conversation in #general was mislead by the very limited information given to us. I included the initial proposal of gun durability and decay in the quote below (this is not all the messages as #general is typically filled with spam)
Whilst I do realize that anything said in #general in ecrp discord is not official. Very little information has actually been provided and the little information that has been provided has been very misleading.
In the picture below you can see one Combat MG MK2 that I have maintained during my time away as an LEO main vs one that I never maintained.
Left=maintained, Right= never maintained before today.
I do believe the script we currently have in place would work great with gun decay. The previous ideas was very good, however with the changes and misunderstanding there has been a lot of people that has suffered.
Please read through and let me know of your thoughts.
