  1. How about a world, where a roadmap is made and then it gets stuck to? You know like a target with a deadline date, and if you have to put in some extra work to make it you do it, or even if you need help you find some? You have just become so used to the way this is done here. You are actually trying to convince people and yourself that they shouldn't be told about updates because they will just be disappointed when they aren't met? -.-
  2. Couldn't the PD and SD department just use radio binds? You just bind Jtac to bind 3 and then when somebody makes the call that your hopping to Jtac now you just press your radio 3 bind?
  3. This makes no sense. We just want gloves so that are shoulders and arms don't clip through the jackets ? +1 for obvious reasons
  4. +1 it doubly sucks, because if you get injured you respawn with less than half food and water and without your stamps. So you just get reduced to 1hp.
  5. -1 from me. I think the current system is very good and it forces smaller organizations to roleplay and interact with bigger organizations to strike deals and what not. You bring the bigger org some drugs, or packed cash and in return they give you some guns. This will just remove that whole avenue of roleplay. If you are a part of a small organization and are unable to get guns, this is because you have taken IC actions against these others larger orgs. That is an IC consequence of the decision your group has taken.
  6. I agree jail time should be way less. Its a game people want to have fun not sit in DOC for 5 hours.
  7. I agree with the idea of this post, the current higher up staff that are making the decisions do not want crims to have any chance really. Over time we have only seen less criminals and criminals getting weaker. This is exactly the direction management want to take tho. They are happy with the idea that crims can't win and I doubt this will change for the foreseeable future. Every aspect of RP that is brought up that cops should have to do or chance, cops swiftly shut this down. You can't discuss it anywhere, or with anyone without it being immediately shut down. This is a big part of why we are here. Even in terms of oocly, criminals get DM 2 and are banned. Cops get DM 2 and are promoted to, sever staff.
  8. I would like to add to this that when I used to be a member of the rooks, I was with this gang for a long period of time. During which there was many FM meetings discussing turfs. We would often ask for additional turfs or dealers to be placed (as this increases the amount you can order without having to add an extra turf), and we were repeatedly told that we should not let turfs and power to order effect our lore or roleplay. For those of you who don't know turf is based off of the spawned npc's/assets in the area. A warehouse giving 50 extra power, 10 for an extra NPC. So most turfs come down at 20 power (less than one drop of lysergic), where as some turfs are linked up to have 80+! We bit our tongues and struggled on with the meagre 90 power we had. However racing gangs who are scriptly protected from attacks are able to hold 3x as much power, as larger, stronger criminal organizations. How does this make any sense? Criminal organizations, open restaurants, launder MILLIONS in packed cash only to receive less than half of what a racing faction gets with only a fraction of the effort. The weakest gang in terms of lore, holds the most power?
  9. -1 its just part of your duties, you should remember. The technology for remotely paying tickets isn't available yet. Also I always imagined that your actual license was updated, or how else do LSC check it?
  10. I understand your point with the fact it would be very hard to police from an administrators perspective. Just the other day you pulled me over, and RPly searched through my vehicle. It took you no longer than 30 seconds, I think this is all people are asking for, rather than this OOC approach (with the alt rp requests). I don't think it would be too hard for law enforcement to rply search the vehicle as well as just tapping I. I would also like to add, I think we are getting hung up on the hiding of a .50, this is just one example of many where we feel that staff/script are restricting people roleplaying opportunities. All that is trying to be achieved with a discussion such as this, is whether or not the community thinks, that the current restrictions by staff and script are okay? Or would we like to see more of this RP being allowed to just flow and let itself resolve ICly. Is it more of a player mentality? I personally would always go through with any RP players have done, or want to try get away with as long as it is creative and well written!
  11. To clarify, I believe he is not talking about pointing outwards from the driver seat to take a hostage as you would at a traffic stop. He is talking about a passenger sitting next to him in the front seat, and not being able to RPly aim a gun at him. There are no changes to the script needed, just more of an openness with allowing for RP to freely flow. Well the idea behind that is furthering that RP. The idea of Rply hiding you gun is both a benefit and a curse. Using the script given feature we assume the fact it is not hidden atall, this allows cops to find it easily and for passengers to access it easily. The idea behind hiding you gun is that this is not in an easy access position now. If I rply hide my gun and want to get out and rob someone, I would need to go through that same RP to retrieve the hidden gun. Much like with the ID RP. I mean your saying, just because there is script there doesn't mean it should require extra RP? I know for example with LSPD, you cannot just access the infinite faction locker, you have to RP storing an extra kevlar for example. Even though it is scriptly there.
  12. I did not realise you would need senior admin approval for something like this? This just seems like natural RP, had the officer taken the time to search the car RPly he would have found it. Quite often recently I have had my car searched, and every time it has been done with detailed /me's. They search underneath the chairs along the dashboard etc. rply to see where the gun might be hidden. If the officers chose to actually RP searching vehicles instead of just instantly getting in pressing I to see then getting back out. It seems very much like they have fallen back onto the script because they simply do not want to RP.
  13. Completely agree with everything said here. Staff want us to RP more, and then restrict us at every opportunity. Every staff has a different ruling on every piece of RP.
  14. I guess this is more of a question for FM than me...
  15. Again, are you talking about in response to the new turf lore system? With the updated map above, I was not around for 2020, so am not sure if this lore map existed. But the idea of this map is very good just the RP should be allowed to flow within these limitations of the "lore map". I agree one gang controlling all turfs is not good.
  16. I agree with this entirely! I am not sure if you have seen the turf lore map? I will attach a picture to this response. The problem is when FM restrict further within this. For example blue turfs are high end gangs, Purple street gangs. But even within this they tell you to not attack a specific gang for almost no reason? This is very restrictive of any potential roleplay opportunities. But to reiterate I think it is a very good system with the turf map based off of lore!
  17. Just a recent thought that came into my mind with turfs. For those of you who are not criminals that do not know, every turf you take has to be approved by FM. You cannot expand and take any turfs or else you risk consequences from FM. With the weight system, and the turf "lores" ( I am sure you have all seen the map). Why are we restricted even further within these turfs that we cannot take? For example with my group (The Royals), we have been told there is literally no turfs we are allowed to take. Even in regards to the map there have been restrictions that you cannot take other high class area turfs for almost no reason? I find that this sort of OOC restriction really hinders roleplay opportunities. Why can a crew not expand out and take other turfs to gain more for themselves? Why are you OOC told to not do that? I personally have seen these retractions pressed by FM for some time now. When confronted on it there is never any actual answer? Have you guys also experienced this in your time here?
  18. Some of the cars are 1/1, these are supers 90% of the time, apart from a couple of the very quick sports. I agree more cars would be good, but I am not sure how to go about adding these and this is probably why they have not been added. At the moment there are very few high end cars (performance wise) available for purchase. The plane suggestion just doesn't really make sense in an RP server in my opinion. -1 from me sorry.
  19. Just a general suggestion, about the invulnerability you get after being injured. In its current state, you can get sprayed down when the injury animation starts for a good few seconds and you take no damage. It would be better for all aspects of roleplay if these shots actually did damage and effected your time remaining on bleeding out etc. I believe the immunity was added during the start of the sync update, due to some form of vehicle damage. I do not believe this to currently be an issue, and it will only add to roleplay encouraging criminals to be more careful with there shots if they are hoping to take someone hostage and or get information from them. It will also stop law enforcement spraying into injured people, and it doing no damage, when they might want to further question or arrest the individual. Pros - Adds more realistic RP and further IC consequences Cons - There may be some potential sync issues I am unaware of.
  20. The problem is when you hold one side to such strict standards but not the other you leave a sour taste in peoples mouths. Yes irl if you were wheeling on a busy street, you would be suspended etc. But police officers would also be fired for a lot of the interactions we just consider normal. A police officer shooting someone unarmed in the back for example. A police officer receiving multiple speeding tickets, would be fired from there job. The list goes on. Except we almost never see officers dismissed for there on duty actions. Even dumb stuff if you want to take it as far as your license SHOULD be suspended for using your phone IC. Then we should take that far for all aspects of game play, not just on the act of suspending your license. How many real life police officers do you think patrol in a car with there wives/husbands? The point is its a game, and if you use your phone whilst in a car on a game you should not be punished for 24 hours. Your examples here are poor.
  21. I personally think 24 hours is fine. However I can see where you are coming from, and over time I have grown tired of trying to argue these points as OOC punishments to PD. Which is why I gave up on posting these sort of suggestions. I will add we had multiple high ranking PD officers recently state in a thread that 4 hours is too long OOC to wait for a car if its been stolen, as driving is essential to roleplay were there claims. By this logic 24 hours would seem a bit much.
  22. Your trying to generalise a rule. A coroner driving in to collect a body, is different to a rival gang member driving around in criminal areas (labs), and then when confronted fleeing to a NCZ.
  23. The timer is two hours I believe not 8.
  24. AS per the quote you said "This is GTA and the game is structured around vehicle usage and many players only have one vehicle so disabling this for so long is excessive". But then you also support the suspension of licenses for over 24 hours (6 times the length of a chop!). Or prison sentences, which GTA is a game based around a vehicle so four hors is excessive? You have to spend 4 hours tabbed out in jail if you get caught doing the chop ! Your opinions are purely contradictory, as I imagine this is a personal matter for you as you very rarely comment on these threads Mr Sanchez. The only relevant point that seems remotely fair here, is that New Players should have there mors time reduced. Perhaps by half? Maybe now you will think twice before issuing that 24 hour suspension for going 85, knowing how it effects others. "4 hours OOC with no vehicle is a huge hinderance" - Ye it is, try 24.
  25. I think your just doing it wrong? 9 times out of 10 when somebody's vehicle gets stolen, they are able to retrieve it from a chop shop. Four hours seems like a long time to be with out a car? I mean just hearing this comment is very tone deaf, with the state of other time gated things. You don't want to wait 4 hours for one of your multiple cars to be available from mors? But license suspensions, prison times, impound waits etc. are all okay? Not to mention that chopping is almost redundant now, with the amount of parking the smaller player base has available to it. Most chops only really tend to come after a fight, and people are killed. People are rarely chopping cars left outside. Do you hear how contradictory this sounds? " This is GTA and the game is structured around vehicle usage and many players only have one vehicle so disabling this for so long is excessive". Try to remember this in future.
