dvdcostin06 Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 So i did a half chop on a dominator and was getting 10 times less than usual in terms of money and influence (about 50 dollars for tire and 100 for trunk). I am pretty sure this is a bug, cuz if its not then jesus is chopping down the drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruciebearTV Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Cause you're chopping player vehicles and not the npc spawned vehicles. Player vehicles go for less now why idk.. but that's how it is. Edited January 25, 2023 by BruciebearTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really doubt it was a player car. also in my experience player cars are way harder to pick and hotwire, this one wasnt. if you can get footage of urself getting a tire and trying to sell it for normal price im gonna try again myself and see if this was a one time error or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilo Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) I don't think this is a bug, just the way it is now other parts sell for more money like the engine and scrap metal, you just gotta find out how to get them I'm pretty sure the price goes down when someone sells to the NPC top, kinda like how drugs work.

Kommand Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 You don't need a toolbox to chop those parts now, no? Likely due to dealer price decline due to an oversupply from other players. Honestly man, chopping really isn't worth it. I can kind of see why the Rooks lore preaches against it. The old system wasn't any more profitable, but the RP that came from it was more interesting, and the start-up was non-existent. I thoroughly enjoy the increased engagement with the mechanics of using tools like a consaw, and being able to bring realism into the process is a nice plus. I also support the hotwiring and lockpicking changes, because it was obviously annoying not being able to park your car anywhere without fear of it being stolen. But I feel the pendulum is now on the polar opposite end, where player owned Grand Theft Auto rarely, if ever, occurs. People might break into them for valuables, but they don't waste their time stealing them anymore. The best aspect of the old chop system was the RP you received from players protecting their car, or tracking you to stop the chop. You just don't have that with chops now, and instead you fear being mobbed by a huge gang, effectively losing your investment, and profit potential. I've said before that there's more money in stealing chop shops than actually running one. And there's also less risk--you can't call the cops because your illegal business got raided. Simply put, the price is low due to IC reasons, but the system is flawed for OOC reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that either (by some immense unfortune) picked a car that looked like an npc car and was placed like an npc car, or that the current prices are bugged. I just want to know which one it is.

XeV Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) you chopped a player car, it despawned after a time period because unless you park your car in parking, a house, a apt, or garage its about 2 hours before your vehicle just disappears and will reappear when you login (to save server fps). I chop cars DAILY, player owned cars give absolutely nothing to counteract about a year ago, when you could not even get gas without your car being stolen cause they chopped for 6k+, NOW player owned cars can be actually left on the street and shit instead of constantly being parked up because they chop for like 60$ a tire. NPC cars are here for a reason. So you chop those instead of players cars. was a W update because buying my car back from mors for 10K+ every 4 hours was really cringe TLDR - Not a Bug, Chopped a player owned car over a NPC car Edited January 25, 2023 by XeV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not know that it was a player car since it was parked, and looked like a normal npc car. I deeply apologize, to both the person reading this for wasting their time and the person whose car I chopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
