Having to chase meta cars constantly is much more frustrating than anything. This update is making it very hard to enjoy these kinds of pursuits. Every ATM robbery is a high speed or super that we can barely keep up with. What should happen is that the speed debuff is applied to sports cars while off-road vehicles are able to keep their speed.

Here's my experience with this from an LEO perspective (I play some crim, moreso for the rp than anything else). Our factions are held to some of the highest standards on the server—for good reason too. LEO factions along with the higher-RP focused gangs are what keep major story-lines and plot going. Without these two, the server wouldn't have any content to work with. We in LEO have (mostly) come to the conclusion that for us to have fun RP, there needs to be a good balance between high-tier gangs and LEOs. If this sort of restriction came into place like Corbyn suggests, the high-tier gangs would be able to create the more fun and interesting RP story-lines like we've seen in the past. They wouldn't need to be posted up waiting for a bunch of new players with heavies and AP rolling them. I don't think this would immediately solve all our problems—everyone still has heavies and body armor in excess. It may take some time for people to lose it and be reset and I'm sure that other problems will also crop up as they often do. However, this might offer some reprieve to the higher-tier gangs that want to focus on RP and creating a fun environment for their members.

Uhhhhh hhhuuuuhhh suuuuuuureee But in all actuality, having the street names and such be where they used to be would help with doing callouts. And if that's not an option, being able to make the text larger would be the only other solution. I personally don't have great eyesight and reading those small of words is quite difficult at times.

Hello! With the change to the hud, I have a couple of suggestions that I would like to see implemented. 1) The area name and the street names should be moved to above the GPS like it previously was before. The names being on the top of the screen (and also really small text for those of us with sight issues) is quite annoying for quite a few situations, specifically when flying and trying to do callouts for PD/SD. 2) Increase the size of the text or create a setting for it as it currently is really hard to see and read when flying or driving and doing callouts. This is how it looks right now while flying. We have to focus on the car being driving below us and then look away just to see what the street name is, all while doing callouts on where the car is and what way they're going.

Agreed, I think that if people are still going to be allowed to talk, PD/SD should be given the means to locate them through their radio usage. (Much like how the FCC would be able find you if you used a ham radio). I find it unrealistic for criminal organizations to be able to purchase these devices and be able to comp PD/SD freqs and have basically zero repurcussions as it stands. It is incredibly difficult for LEO to comp a gang freq and incredibly easy for crims to get onto ours right now. It does not feel balanced nor does it feel fun to have people shit talking on what is supposed to be a secure and encrypted frequency. If LEO were given a way to track down where jammers are located, or counteract people hacking into our radio frequency, it would be more fun. It just isn't right now. I like the idea of these new items, it's super creative and could lead to more entertaining RP, however, it seems to be the best tool to troll gov factions instead.

Date and time (provide timezone): 19/MAY/2024 23:09 (UTC) Character name: Baron Faust Issue/bug you are reporting: Phone battery does not go down at all. I have had my phone on and at 0 for about a week with no change. Expected behavior: Once hitting 0, phone should turn off. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Run phone down to Zero and just watch as it doesn't shut off for days.

Great idea, especially from Frey. I think an idea that could make it more interesting is being able to remove or replace license plates on the cars. Maybe having to pay a medium amount of money to get a fake plate that will show up as the vehicle not being stolen but maybe a different make or something. Not sure how functional that could be but it might be another way to get a vehicle from stealing it to chopping it.

I agree that gun sounds would honestly make the game more immersive and fun. I think that it would be better though if we had a server wide poll on a few different options that would be easier to install on the server. Players should also have the option to disable the sounds with a command, similar to the blood effects.

A small suggestion that I think would be easily implemented and could be a bit more interesting than our current dice. Essentially, making it so that when you do the /dice command, you instead put in what size of dice you want to use. d2,d4,d6,d8,d10,d12,d20,d100. I love the dice system for making rolls and determining what the outcome is and being a big DND nerd, I love the variety with dice. I think that it could make rp a bit more interesting as you have a wider array of outcomes instead of only relying on a D6. Heck, you could even play TTRPGs in game if someone was dedicated enough.

I agree that it is a bit weird to be using for house robberies, but, it is accurate to have that storage capacity. As the post above shows, you can store quite a bit on the front and back of the vehicle.

To not hear a helicopter, it really only needs to go up to about 3000ft. That's not the top of the map.
