Across the board speed nerf.

[AnnoyingOne]

Super cars aren't even about performance, haven't been for the last 4+ years, it's about status

So you want everything to be the same. Sounds so depressing, whats the point in trying to get a better car, it takes away the magic in things. Also people who spend 20 mil on a super car, takes a away all the purpose in achieving things 

Is the implication that the only difference between any two vehicles is how fast they go? 20 million dollar super cars are 20 million dollars because they are typically 1 of 1, or the amount of them is otherwise limited. At the end of the day, Roleplay isn't about achievement, it's about enjoyment, if the only way you can enjoy the game is by going 240, I honestly am not here to shit on that. 

 

The idea is that by capping the speed at 200, you'd have a myriad of vehicles that are just as suitable for pursuits as the 1 of 1 supercars that only a small fraction of the server own.

 

Would this lower the value of 1 of 1 vehicles? or any vehicle that goes 240 right now? of course it would.

 

Would it increase the value of MANY more vehicles? I think it would.

That's just a massive simplification.

Achievement = enjoyment for most people. In fact, that's the whole reason video games have progression. End of the day, Roleplay or otherwise, this is a video game.

Bold of you to speak for "Most people," especially on a roleplay server lmao. 

It's hard to think that the driving force to play a role-playing game is "achievements."

It's kinda unfair to the people you've spent 1000s of hours roleplaying with. I'm pretty sure you played the game with them because you like them, not because anyone would reward you for playing the game with them, or because you thought maybe you'd get a T20 out of it. And I hope you've enjoyed the time you've spent with your friends roleplaying.

It's EXTREMELY easy to take for granted the social aspect of the server and RP in general. 

But that's kinda off topic innt. This is about capping the speed to 200.

im not with you on this one man, im sorry, I like my very expensive cars going 240, I worked hard for those over the past almost 5 years, I have exceptional things accomplished and this makes me truly happy, " accomplishment" and therefor I can afford things nobody else can, it gives me purpose it allows me to stand out compared to many others, it makes me proud.

maybe people truly do differ from each other, 
in my opinion, if your going to make everything the same speed, then why even bother trying to accomplish, 
I do aligh with you on the social aspect tho, I see your point also in more different use of vehicles, if more vehicles hit that cap then also nothing stands out anymore, and that to me is very boring, compare it to if every house even the mansions had a 1g interior would you like that ?

I think it's important to remember that going 240 is easier than ever. Cars like the D5 are extremely affordable (Around 250K)

This kinda of blows the "It takes a lot of grinding/hard work  to get  a car that goes that fast" out of the water. 

The D5 invalidates 100s of vehicles in this way. Why spend big money on a Comet/VSTR/ any other fast vehicle when you can get the same for cheaper?

Why spend extra money to roleplay when you can win for cheaper?

so like i said before, the problem isnt the speed cap being 240 and you'd want to lower it, the problem is the price of the newer cars wasnt balanced. easy fix, just rebalance the vehicle pricing based on their performance

This would fix the D5 issue. But it wouldn't do anything for the multitude of cars that don't get used because they aren't meta.

thats why rebalancing the cost of vehicles to be in line with their performance would be a good way to fix the issue. if the "meta" vehicles were priced appropriately to be more expensive, there would be fewer people upgrading to them as quickly, and there would be a new "meta" of price/performance options that people will find and use. sure, people still have the cars they own, but at that point, they own them already, you cant take it from them, they paid for it. but fixing the root of the problem, meta cars being really cheap, and HSW upgrade being really cheap (which the fix was teased a while back but theres been no updates) would solve the problem long term

The fact of the matter is if you give people the choice between a car that goes 240, and picking a car that fits their character/lore, most people will pick the vehicles that take W's.

I don't hate re-adjusting the prices, but it would cause a situation where people who already have these vehicles make bank on the market changing.I'm not a dev but this would also take A LOT of work compared to restricting speed across the board.

But also, you're right, this WOULD have 0  on people who already have meta vehicles.

What is the ultimate goal of this suggestion? Disrupting stagnant meta that revolves around going 240.

You can make the vehicles cost more, but people will likely do what they do now, just wait till they have enough money for a 240 vehicle, while driving an off-road motorcycle or BMX to evade police in the meantime.

 

Some questions I think people ought to ask when thinking about this suggestion- 

Does anyone need to go to 240 to enjoy themselves?

Is there a reason to go 240 besides trying to escape the ops/cops?
