Weapon Workbench (for repairing fully decayed weapons)

[Cup]

Hello! So while I understand the new decay system is fresh and we still aren't 100% sure how its going to play out it did give me an idea for something I think would be cool.

 

A Weapon workbench that gangs could import that would be expensive (think 150-250k range) that would allow you to repair a fully decayed gun back to a working percentage. (not sure if it should fully repair it but at least make the weapon functional again and to a point you can use the other method to get its percentage up again).

 

I think it should be placeable in a property and maybe you would need to gather some mining resources in order to repair a weapon. (Or some other system as I think it should still have some cost to using it to discourage people from just letting their guns all break then using the bench. The bench should just be available as a last resort if a weapon that is valuable to you breaks).

 

Oh and finally, it should be considered illegal so if the property you have it at gets raided it gets snatched.

+1 Good idea!

Need microfiber cloth, screwdriver and add WD40 as a item, can use the spraycan but change the name.

[HobGoblin]

I dont think weapons should be repaired at all. This way weapons are removed from the server and more need to be imported.

[Skiperz]

+1 I like it. 

[Lacey Vincero]

+1 this is a good idea. it will give people something else to do, something else to work for. We could mine for the materials even, or some way to gather the crafting materials for the bench.. Therefore we would be able and be encouraged to build it ourselves, and/or purchase it at a similar value. I would rather do that in some circumstances then wait an hour if not days (depending on if ordered through another group) just to get said weapon, its easy as is. 

Crims need more to do and this could be just something we are able to work with. The ability to repair, upgrade, possibly even put one together. It could be incorporated into the "experience" section of the U menu, where the more you craft, the more experience you get and the better things you can do with the bench. 

Just my thoughts

+1 their should definitely be some kind of way to fix fully broken guns, since with this update now they decay 24/7.

i reckon PD’s illegal locker serves this purpose well enough

if you add a way to repair weapons like that then you might as well remove the decay system, the whole point is to get weapons OUT of circulation.

whyy out when you pay for it ? so if you don't use your car for certain period of time it gets totalled and not work anymore and you have to take it to the scrapyard and lose it ? 

Guns are not acquired free so why add a way to make players use it without having chance to repair ?

Thing is, what if someone has an IRL emergency or get banned, they just lose everything? 
I get your point, we need to force people to use their stuff instead of hoarding but again, in the end it is a game not my primary job to be logging on to maintain weapons. To balance it, making the repair bench expensive is only fair ngl.

[Ritchie Stones]

Its been enough! Back in 2021 we where promised a great deug update, ever since they been chipping away from us, 

the last 3 years nothing excited has been happening for crim, whenever something goes wrong we are the blame,

they created a pvp server, just to take down what they created, 

keep going this direction and soon all crims will leave, you can see it in the past 3 years it has been reducing very hard

the current decay rate is 3 months, if you get banned for longer than three months you did something very bad, and if you have a real-life emergency that takes longer than two months to fix, you have bigger problems than pixel guns.

it takes 10 minutes to maintain a reasonable stash, if your stash rivals that of the united states military, then you should scale down.

there's 21 official factions currently with many more factions set to get official status soon, there has NEVER been this amount of diverse gangs and criminal roleplayers in the server, we used to average five official factions. this narrative that "numbers are going down" is made-up by people that disagree with the direction, and its fine and its your opinion, but OBJECTIVELY the number of gangs has never been higher.

I mean, if there is an emergency for longer than two months then that's real life. Not because it ended in 6 months or 3 months or a year means someone loses their progress or what they had been working on for a while; moving residence, internet issue ...etc.

Also, doing something bad and getting banned is expected. No one is perfect, people will be making mistakes and unless their punishment includes asset wipe, then this will be a harsher punishment.

losing some guns is not losing progress unless you measure your success in stashes, in which case the update was sorely needed.

Doing something bad and getting banned is absolutely NOT expected. Players are expected to follow the rules of the server and we have a punishment progression system and forgiveness system in place to allow for player's to make mistakes and learn from them. No one gets banned immediately from their first "mistake" unless its something severe such as cheating or Mass DM, which is a choice by those players to do something like that. The only players that get banned are those that refuse to learn from their mistakes and intentionally continue to break rules.

Where did I say that? I know how the whole system works my man. What I am talking about is that there are some punishments that go up in ban times and who knows if they will be able to return before the 3 months or not. There are a lot of punishments, do not have asset wipe as a secondary, that can keep you banned for more than 3 months. Please do not try to direct it into a punishment discussion. People can be in a situation with no access for more than 3 months either due to a ban or an IRL situation. That's what I am saying.

Anyways, if they couldn't make it in 3 months, then they're getting assets wiped as an extra punishment to their other punishment.

Feel free to reach out to me on discord if you're looking for further clarification on the current punishment system

+1 

[DoubleA]

Big +1, need to be able to repair guns somehow when they get fully to 0

[CalvinKlein]

Big +1 to this, gangs can also charge randoms a fee to repair guns and it can bring more player to player interactions 

[Cup]

Just to be clear on this. My original intent or idea behind it is for it to mainly be used for expensive / rare guns. I think it should be somewhat balanced so that for example it makes no sense to repair .50s over just buying new ones.
