Requiem

I think your issue is that you're looking at it as who loses material assets. This is a roleplay server, and the "revenge story" should be about the story, escalation and roleplay of it. If you want to just DM and get wins, perhaps call of duty might suit you better.

+1 to the vehicle repair suggestion. The prices make no sense as they stand now and need an adjustment. I personally feel that the cars stock import price should have relation to its repair cost as well, as the spare parts for those cars would be effected by how expensive the car is to manufacture. A cheaper car, like a warrener should cost much less to repair than a paragon. -1 to the vehicle speed. If anything, I think it would be better for the server if all the vehicles had a bit of a speed reduction. Its insane to drive 200+ km/hr in what would realistically be a very populated city. As for the truck trailer thing, the dev's have confirmed that they cannot be used due to desync reasons.

-1. I don't think anyone wants to participate in RP where they sit next to exercise equipment and press E each day.

Being a part of IA myself as a more tenured investigator, I can tell you that the job is taken very seriously with no bias and punishments/discipline is most certainly handed out. The faction actually released statistics to the public regarding IA cases on how many are sustained vs no misconduct, but that can be found IC.

This has already been suggested probably half a dozen times before There are good reasons its not automatic that you can see in the comments on the other post. I can assure you its not due to cops being lazy, but rather either lack of units or higher priority situations.

If you have no evidence or proof of what occurred, then what are you expecting the police to do in that instance? Yes, they can talk to you or others and ask questions or interview, but how would police know if you are lying or telling the truth? What if you are angry at someone who you had a disagreement with earlier that day and you say they attacked someone when they really didn't just to get them in trouble with the police. 80% of the server would be in DOC constantly if the police just took everyone's word as proof of a crime. This is coupled with the idea that ECRP doesn't work like the real world. Police have to have 100% undeniable evidence of a crime before arresting someone since they go straight to jail/prison and serve their time. There is no bail or court process prior to being convicted of a crime. Police have to act as judge jury and executioner in all instances, so they have to have proof of something before acting on it.

+1 to shift click, -1 to the rest

All police use body cameras in the real world. As was already mentioned, it doesn't make sense to not use them. As far as the RP is concerned, investigation tactics in game are limited for police due to script limitations. There are only so many things that can be found in game, and its easy due to those limitations for people to just lie/withhold the truth on something if questioned. Body camera footage is normally just used to remind officers of something they may have seen or review details in a situation they may have missed. It is rarely ever the condemning factor involved in someone's arrest, but just used as a tool to spark further investigation or provide probable cause to investigate further.

I think the frustrations are misguided here. Everyone seems to have this thought process that the server rules are the issue here, and yeah, the server rules might not be perfect because they have to be designed in a way to be somewhat generic as each situation is case by case. I personally think part of the issue is the player culture. Yes, there are a lot of reports of DM at public labs. Why? Its not because of the DM rules and how they are applied. Its because too many players seem to have this mentality of robbing every other person they aren't associated with for some free stuff rather than actually providing some quality RP interactions. If some solo comes into a lab to pick plants or cook, why is it a requirement to run over with guns blazing saying "hands, hands!!" Maybe just play it out different and make some kind of deal with them, such as taxing them to cook there. Or maybe if you don't want them there, do some RP to scare them off that doesn't require you shooting or robbing them. Yes its GTA and yes there will be shooting, which is fine. But not every single situation needs to be that. The DM rules are simply there to prevent people from shooting on sight or killing for no good reason...to actually encourage RP and good interactions. There wouldn't be any issue if people would actually just interact instead of just giving demands and shooting every time someone comes into a public lab.

The stats might not be relevant, but I think we can all agree that the vehicle's performance is pretty bad for a 1 mil car.

This issue is likely being addressed:

I don't think the prior suggestion on this topic was closed unreasonably. It was noted when it was closed that improvements and customization would be added so you could change the sound and graphics more to your liking. I think this is one of those things that everyone hates on when its first implemented because its new and you haven't given it a chance or time to adjust to it.

This has been suggested previously.

I have not tested or experienced this issue myself, but I have heard of several other players within the past 2 weeks also calling out this issue and mentioning its a known bug that pressing R with your weapon out to "pistol whip" will one shot people.

Could you please update your post with the proper bug report formatting shown here?

-1. I know personally if I got locked out from playing for 30 minutes, I would just log off and stay off for the at least the rest of the day. We shouldn't be limiting peoples play time just because of a death. I don't see this NLR breach as much of an issue. It can get dealt with like other rule breaks. It could also cause other issues. What if someone shoots up LSC and the only mechanics that were on shift die? Then we have no mechanics on shift anymore cuz they are locked out. What if the cops get into a massive shootout with one/multiple gangs and get killed? No cops for the next half an hour. Would create bad situations that would be negative for the server.

Is this what you mean?

If someone is messing up RP/doing incorrect RP as you explain, then its likely a rule break. No one should be talking in /b about it regardless, as the proper procedure is to /report the situation and continue IC if that happens.

That is called Ruleplaying. It is already against the rules to do things to bait others to break rules or use the rules to their advantage in a NRP way. 6. Ruleplaying Ruleplaying is a term used when players are using, manipulating, or interpreting rules or rulings falsely or outside of their intention, in an unrealistic or unintended way that does not constitute quality or realistic RP standards. Some examples of ruleplaying: In a criminal chase, driving at slow speeds knowing that your pursuers are unable to attack you because they can't deliver demands. Walking into a hostile situation with your hands up, knowing your backup is hiding, in order to bait deathmatching rights. Taunting e.g., an enemy at a public place (e.g. fishing pier) knowing that they can't retaliate at said public location, effectively showing no fear for your safety. Each situation will be reviewed and dealt with as case by case basis by staff, the examples above are not precise and there could be realistic context to someone's actions. Punishment: Anything from an admin jail to an indefinite ban.

+1 if you are a passanger. No reason you shouldn't be able to ICly. I can see the eating or drinking animations as being a potential problem though. Might not be able to have your character do some animations while sitting in a car.

You can find out in character while playing by asking any other player. I am sure anyone would be willing to give you an answer, but this is not an answer that can be given here OOC as that would be metagaming

Hello! Please understand that there are many responsibilities that server staff members have, in addition to looking at appeals and it may take some time to look these over and properly review them. Please be patient while its under review and a member of the staff team will respond to your appeal as soon as they finish the review process.

Depending on whats on the vehicle, many times rain alone won't clean dirt off a vehicle though. Usually some high pressure wash or scrubbing is needed to clean most of the dirt off a car.

We are on the same page @Chunder. I suggested this several months back. Would have been nice to include in the damage balancing of the weapon update
