deputy865 Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Wave of ideas here. First off, I'd like to say that I'm no expert coder or computer person whatsoever. Outside of some fancy Excel spreadsheets and a little above average computer knowledge, that's as far as I go. My list of ideas are things that I think might be "easier" to implement as they are already part of the game or are a clone of something already in the game, just worked differently. If these things have been mentioned before - Awesome! If they are being worked on - Awesome! Golf I'm sure its been brought up and with my search of the forum, it has. However it was only said that "golf should be here" and really nothing more. I'd like to elaborate a bit more. First I'd like to say that I only believe this would be "easier" to implement because its already something that is in the game. The course is there, the mechanics are there, the graphics are there. I think the golf course should be a NCZ (I don't need another frequented place to get robbed at haha). The country club inside would be cool to have an active bar, food, etc. An ATM outside (obviously). A minimum price to play a round of golf as well as some options to gamble with other players. Match play, skins, etc. This would make it a little more interesting to play and yet another way for people to possibly make some money. This could also open up for tournaments or events. Seeing as the golf course is a little nicer part of town; maybe require nice clothes? Someone could also own the golf course, but this would most likely be an expensive piece of property. Maybe an option to obtain a golf membership? A lot could be stemmed from the idea, but I do believe the premise of playing with the opportunity to put some money on the line would attract a lot of players. I can see driving a golf cart around to each shot, hole, etc., taking too long... so as much fun as that would be and even "proper RP", I'd say skip it.. Dogs If you've played the story line for the game you've had the fun of interacting with "Chop". I think adding dogs would be a fun and great addition to the game. Opens up the possibility for a Veterinary office, where injured dogs would go, where you would purchase your pet, food, etc. Customizing the way your dog looks would be awesome, but honestly for starters, a custom collar (different colors, styles, bandannas, etc.) would do just fine. Ideally, dogs would serve as "personal defense", whereas if the dog is near its owners and the owner gives a silent command, it could attack a robber or assailant. This may deter some robberies on individuals or even groups of people if there are enough dogs present. I think a silent command for the dog to attack is fair because if someone in fact had a guard dog, it would most likely attack someone trying to harm its owner without the owner needing to verbally command them to do so (See: Police dogs).. Adding to that, the police having a K9 unit would make for some interesting foot pursuits and interactions. Of course, DM, KoS and proper RP rules would need to be implemented for the dog. Meaning you can't just shoot the dog for no reason, or even if its present... The owner also shouldn't be able to send their dog after someone without RP reason. Fear RP, well, if you go after someone with a dog, you're taking the chance that they sick the dog on you. The owner will maybe think twice about sending the dog in if there are 2 or more attackers, as the risk of their dog being injured (and an expensive vet bill) would be there. If you send your dog and the dog fails, I believe that would give the attacker KoS on the dog owner, but at the same time, the dog owner would have a chance to draw a gun on the attacker because the attacker would most likely be worried about the dog. I could go on and on with rules, but the point here is that it would be fun to have a companion as well as use said companion for personal defense. Also opens up more business ideas! Circle Track This is basically a simple racing idea, but with some gambling thrown in. Hear me out! So in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, there used to be a indoor car race that was a lot of fun.. In fact, I'd spent a lot of my time racing there... All the cars, all the crashing, the races, it was all fun. I think adding something like this would be a riot. Again, NCZ here just to help people get in on it. Behind the casino is a Race track for horses; maybe use this as a simple "circle track" to race quads, dirt bikes or other beater cars on? Allow the drivers of the races to wager on the race itself and set number of laps... as well as add a gambling element for viewers to bet on the outcome of the races. Not only would this attract more people to the races and area, but the more clever of organizations could maybe "set up" a race and pay off people to win/lose on purpose so they can make money off of the sideline bets. Again, a unique element and way to make money. It also brings people together in a non-violent area. This will also give players something else to do if they are bored... and we can finally drive like crazy, race and mess around in cars. Additional things to add would be keeping driver stats, such as how many times each driver has won. It would make betting more fun and predictable and also give some people something to work towards. I'm a competitive person by nature and if there was a leader board for "Most races won", you bet your ass I'd want to be on it. Tennis I'll start out by saying that I know nothing of tennis... outside of Wii, I don't think I've ever played. However I know others do, so treat this like my golf idea. The course and mechanics are already there, so would it be possible to import them? Allow betting, memberships, clubs, etc. NCZ of course... like I said before and many times, I don't need any more places to get robbed at... Sniper Rifle(s) No! Not more guns! Here I am complaining about getting robbed a lot, but lets play this Sniper Rifle thing out. If sniper rifles were implemented, I think it would add a SUPER interesting dynamic to the drug labs and illegal activity in general. Scenario: You roll up to a drug lab with your 3 buddies and you see 2 people working. You're think "easy targets", you hop out, attempt to rob them and boom... you're picked off by a guy or two who were watching the entire thing through their scopes from afar. They had KoS because they watched their friends get threatened. It would add a really cool "over watch" dynamic to the game and for the more creative players. I think it would also deter people from running around like loose cannons and robbing everyone in sight... because in the back of their minds, there may be a sniper out there waiting to drop them. Now to keep sniper rifles from being EVERYWHERE, their prices could be adjusted to something a little higher as well as maybe limit the amount of ammo that comes with them 6-10 rounds maybe? That way people aren't recklessly using them. Importing ammo could also be expensive. This idea is more or less an idea to let players think really creatively in their drug or any illegal operations... as well as deter the rouge robbers a little bit. If it gets too out of hand... take them away? Central Classifieds Ok... Would it be hard to start to force players to list ALLLL of their for sale items in one location? Or even create a silent auction of a sorts for items if the sellers wish to use that system? Now to actually buy the items, I think you should have to go to where the items is. If its a house, travel to it. Car, go to the lots its sitting at. That way it is "first come, first serve" and you don't have people camping out near the classified areas buying up everything in sight. What I dislike is having to drive around to every dealership to see whats for sale, or check the forums... or read obnoxious bleets all the time. Same for houses. I have no idea where to look for them for sale besides from annoying Bleets and/or the forum. I think this would create a competitive market for said items and for the smart bunch, a good "flip" market. It just seems silly that there isn't an easy way to buy this stuff... when in real life, I can check on my phone and find hundreds of listings on cars or real estate. The server is like we are living in 1900, where you only know of things for sale by word of mouth. Might help the new players too instead of seeing it asked 1,000 times where they can buy a house or car. If any of this is in game, then I'm stupid and have never heard of it or even bothered to look.. but then again, if it is, it's not being talked about enough! Again, I know you can buy stuff through the forums, but things are rarely posted there and lets be honest... forums are mostly dead in general. Casino Pretty self explanatory. NCZ area with multiple games to play. Slots, Blackjack, Texas Hold'em, Roulette and any other popular casino games. Maybe host tournaments here and there... I know we have some gambling sites already, but maybe those could now be reserved for more private venues while the casino is the new public hot spot. Add a nightclub aspect and you have an interesting place to be. The building is already there, so it would just need to be filled with fun stuff. If anything, PLEASE fix poker? Auto-fold for people that take too long to make a decision, shorten the 30 second time frame between hands to maybe 15 seconds? And for the LOVE OF GOD... Make it possible for pots to be "split" when its a tie. Every time I play, I see someone win a 5 card game with a 6th card. Example: Full house shows up as the community cards. The best hand is a full house and everyone in the hand present still should split the pot... but who ends up winning? The person with the highest card that had nothing to do with the full house. Again, a 6th card used for a 5 card game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the negative side effects could be pretty drastic, but there are some positives. Maybe from a reporting standpoint, people being DM'd without the vitims getting a chance to see who shot them or get their player number... since they'd be further away?

Xoza Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Please separate into individual threads or find a similar thread to revive. +1 on everything except sniper rifles. Reason is way too much possibility of abuse, getting shot and killed and not knowing who to report. This may get better though with the unix time on the screen.

isBrainDed Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Golf cant just be implemented from the singleplayer, the whole thing has to be scripted from scratch apart from using gta v models for golf ball and clubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xoza Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 While it doesn't give you the kill option, binoculars would be great to add for distance viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCHcuky Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 I recently suggested tying illegal weapons into options for cargo during box trucker missions or brinks. For snipers I say yes BUT it will have to be through the black market. Criminals ambush a trucker who has to be transporting illegal weapons take them, bing bing a sniper and run like hell and then tell everyone hey! My riffle is bigger! I’ll give it to you if you give me your life’s savings! Sorry its late... +1! Ohh! And I love golf irl I suck at it but love it for some reason! +1 on that!
