My favorite is when I enter to check timers or use an atm near it, they will circle that bank 10+ times cause someone walked inside, almost Metagamey knowing that scriptly I cannot use these bank to withdraw or deposit cash so I can ONLY be checking timers. Cannot try to get the cop near the bank to chase you away from it as that NRP cop baiting, only solution we actually have is to sit there and wait for them to leave and use the small window to hit it or just call it off and try again another day cause this cop has been ((Tabbed out)) for 15 minutes. I can see the "Ic issues" already along the lines of "well there is no IC protocol that say anything of the sort" seems to be the common response to most complaints, but this is just about having shit to do and this limits a fun and rewarding activity people can do and has a 0% Success rate nowadays due to the aforementioned complaint. Is there much RP to be had at banks from a PD or SD side, VERY little unless its a hostage bank, but banks the one thing that is fun to plan out and make routes and plans and give people certain jobs and execute it.

I have 0 idea when this was implemented as it is VERY rare at least for me to see no mechanics on duty in recent times, sure there was a period of time where it was common that no mechanics were on duty mid day for me, but now there is ALWAYS at least 1 until about yesterday when I went to LSC and Bayview and saw none, so I check the auto repair and not only did it take about 5 minutes to repair it charged me 2.5K FOR 200HP 781-1000 Cost me more then a normal repair from 1-1000. I am confused why this was added as all it does is punish players for the lack of mechanics on duty which is no ones fault but LSC or Bayview as certain parts of the day just have no one or 24 mechanics on duty. Time zones play a part maybe hire or look for people specifically in certain time zones to fill vacant slots. Saw a bunch of low xp people complaining at LSC in /b that the auto repair cost them like 4-5k for their repair. As Top shotta @Fupii would say. Who Asked For This?! Suggestion- Please just go back to the old whatever system as at least nowadays it is rare to have literally 0 mechanics on duty.

when these vehicles were first added we did some IC testing on a mountain. shit was like 11+ .50 shots to completely break the window and do damage to the person inside. Now add someone driveing around and shooting back at you hitting those solid 11 shots on the same window to break it to then be able to do damage to the person inside IS insane. Never understood why this was never addressed as importing a buffalo or patriot is essentially P2W as you get bullet resistant windows.

wheres the lie?

to me its always been DM bait ruleplay, as I am always hesitant in shooting people that are off to the side or some shit and not in the "color" of the people we are shooting because NO ONE wants to get a DM strike. I understand fully out of colors for like banks,stores or any preplanned thing of that nature as gang supression go brrr, But having gang shootouts and purposely swapping out for "tactics" is a play to win mentality and is just cringe.

seeing as your whole entire persona is around the video game of being a PD officer your comment holds 0 merit as you fail to recognize the other side and the hardships to even come up with a fair comment. Also after reviewing your profile and your comments towards other forum posts I can see where you lie in terms of trying to balance things. you just will not see the other side of things and are stern in terms of never removing or balancing anything towards PD.

Definitely not, chopped cars multiple times 15k is 100% not the “minimum” lowest i got one time was like 2k and most i received was around 8-10k, obviously the vehicle type and what not depends on price but all in all, just not worth it.

It was a cool idea in concept, but not in action. paying 150k-200k for the bench to then spend 60k+ to get the tools (Engine hoist, Vehicle lift,) to chop cars that equate to like 2-5k per car it is just not worth it as a money maker or even as an activity at all. Just bring back the old chops (even make them rotate or cycle through) and leave the bench cause at that point your atleast a LITTLE safer to do it now cause people might "rotate chops" again if they are active

yah to ALOT of people we assume armor is just completely ignored with headshots as I believe that stems from GTAO i have no idea, I assume this is desync but if thats the case then desync is a pretty serious issue if this can happen, its make or break shootouts

EVERYTHING here W

Regardless of the nature of the said shooting. obvious clear rulebreak What are the LEO's made of inside of this server, I knew the armor situation was like a problem brought up, BUT this is actually insane the whole "just do not fight the police" meta is clearly true. I was under the impression armor did not negate headshot damage, but I guess it does which is just sad Im all for PD and SD being better in terms of like access to better guns and armor, but this is ridiculous at a balance standard

+1 Bump

when it first came out it was perfect IMO, sure it was just ONE long line of text but I liked it the way it was, but if we go the route of trying to shorten it like so then yah +1, I also am not a fan of how transparent it is now compared to on release

Yah idk whats been going on, but I think headshot punches are back or something. What used to take like 6-7 punches I swear we are back to the 2-3 as I am loseing way more HP then normal when I get punched

yah I have been in your shoes, dude in street clothes pulled a shotgun on my boy behind mors one time and we engaged in a fire fight only to find out the guy who pulled the shotgun was a cop and made the same "shots fired" call in which multiple officers pulled up and we were forced to dip. I actually have not seen a cop/detective do it since, till your clip today, but if I was in your shoes I know who that voice is and I would be just as confused as they also have a criminal alt on top of their cop alt. Regardless you would be charged with attempted murder either way only issue I see is if they gave you attempted murder of a gov. Cause then how would you know it was a gov employee.

like honestly what killed the pier was crims being afraid of being labeled "pier gang" off rip, but like I rather be social active with the community and called a pier gang then be isolated to only talking to people within my group Cops killed it as well writing parking tickets as paying for parking is just not worth it (paying per x amount of time and the amount of fish caught per hour was like profiting like 20$) Also getting your car stolen 24/7 but with the new update of having to HOTWIRE AND PICKLOCK, if you car gets stolen its deserved so no fear of getting your shit yoinked anymore BRING IT BACK WE AS A COMMUNITY MUST POPULATE THE PIER AND MAKE IT ACTIVE AGAIN, and I myself will be spinning the pier more in-between my down time and chatting with anyone I see there and inviting more people down. I PERSONALLY want the pier back as I miss the social hub and theatrics of the locals

THIS In Royals when we started I LOVED planning bank heists with Drake, escape route, drop offs, bike set ups, Plan A's Plan B's, Bait and Switches. IT was so good, especially when we got the RP AND got away with the money. But you put EVERYTHING in the Leo's hands PRAY they do not blast you when the hostage is cleared, PRAY someone on radio does not need a coughdrop at a key moment, PRAY the game does not bug out or desync something. BUT boy when you get caught does it fucking HURT your bank and IRL time. The main thing is why would I not take the option of mass zerg get in get out disperse into 30 bikes and get away for free? ECRP's economy is fucking awful, money rules all and shit is just SO expensive. You quite literally have to play by a mindset of "can I afford to do this?" I do not cook nor do I ever plan too cause I find it boring but to get a lab started I did the math in this thread or another but from the ground up its easily like 600k+ and there is always room to "min max" it and work your way up that ladder to getting a stable thing going. IF stuff was not as expensive as it was or making "comfort" money as a crim was not so bleh. People would report less and Not be afriad to take an L once and awhile for the sake of some funny RP or good RP. 99% of reports nowadays are "just incase". huge shootouts 9X out of 10 is getting a just incase report just to see if MAYBE someone did something a little rule breaky so then the refund requests come in cause dude spent X amount of time getting that AK and Kevlar.

in terms of the rotating chops, are we talking like 1 at a time or multiple cause then it still just leaves the big bored gangs just camping it and thus "controlling" it and possibly even "taxing" smaller crims to use it. My biggest grip is I try to be ALL INCLUSIVE I want everyone to have access to the same thing the same way as this is a video game at the end of the day and people wanna enjoy their time and have fun, but sadly a lot of people on this server are in the "play to win or play to gain" mindset and leave no room for anything else (also E-Thugs and E-Gangsters exist probably the most cringe part of crim rp tbh) BUT I digress

I mean -1 I am a firm believer in the 2-3 tazer rule as at the end of the days this a video game and I think everyone should have the opportunity at least to do their own thing like for me I am tazeing someone 3 times before i go /pm 243 like bruh come on anymore and I will have to report for NONRP. And with the system you suggest it does not change anything as now I just run slower and will still have to report. If the tazer was not just a aim and click but had some sort of hard to hit but if you do hit its like a 30 second stun instead of the small window I would be down. As tazer effects effect people in different ways for a variety of factors, Some people just are "immune" to tazers and some people will literally seize up and become stiff as a board while tazed. (Hence why I believe in a 2-3 tazer rule). Also just taze someone and then pull out your gun and aim it and put them under actual fear rp.

Someone brought up a good point in discussion towards the main issue really is chopping car. DAMN is it nice to leave my car out in the open and not have to have it be in eyesight 24/7, but thats not because chopping is now harder and you need the bench its because of the AMAZING feature of hotwiring, So now you have to skill check lockpick and skill check hotwire instead of just wait X amount of time and be lucky you one pick it honestly making it 100% more realistic. I am on the side of bring back old chops as a means of quick and reliable small income for crims as if someone has time to SKILL lockpick your car and hotwire in one go without fail they honestly deserve to take it (Especially since the skill check is based on the value of the car so if say they are picking a shinobi it is REALLY hard to get it as I tried one IC and its fucking insane + ping), and just keep the bench in the game for the people who MIGHT wanna try it out or make RP from it.

My bad should have been more detailed, I mean 500$ per as in the price for the toll would go from 300 to 500 as I think the worker gets the toll fee instead of nothing if you pay. all in all I do not see a 200$ increase being THAT detrimental as you can get to paleto without using a toll at all from East highway

With the addition of the Roadworking/Incident Management freelance its has completely over shadowed all freelance jobs x100, obviously there are certain requirements to be met to maximize most profit from the RoadWork freelance, but most of the time 1 incident is making you more money then like 1 hour of another freelance essentially "forcing" you to work 1 specific freelance for the most outcome for your time. I enjoy the "group" aspect of the freelance as it leads to more group interaction, but some people just enjoy some solo vibe freelance. Mining Oil - Up the prices of oil from like MAX 71 per, Or just remove the quick action event to resurge it Fishing - With fishing and the pier being dead for so long, ICly the demand for fish would be higher then ever before with the supply being so low - Up the price of fish Garbage - Could probably stay the same, most people I talked too enjoy the state of it Coroner - ADD A DROPOFF AND CLOCK IN AT THE CITY MORGUE BY CENTRAL HOSPITAL/ Passive advertisements for the coroner job "See a body on the road - Dial 6666 and get it picked up" Farming - Up the price the wheat sells for or shorten times in between events GoPostal - No Idea Trucking - Good as is/ A job that never disappears to just do trucking in between waiting for orders Burgershot - Good as is WoodCutting - Up the prices of logs and branches Atm/Money Transport - IMO good as is Mining Ore - Up the prices of the ores ToolBooth - 500$ Per toll usage to the worker/ Toll use would go from 300-500 BusDriver - Different routes with different payouts, randomize the route to like 4 different routes that it could give you PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COMMENT ADDITIONS THAT COULD BE MADE AND OTHER IDEAS TO ADD! I personally enjoyed mining oil every night before I went to bed for like an hour just to have that passive income, I know we want to strive away from the "afk and watch netflix" but I feel as if that's a good thing because most people just "afk and netflix" to make money to not have to grind and actually RP for a bit.
