Demonmit1 Posted April 27 Report Posted April 27 Date and time (provide timezone): N/A Game Edition (Legacy/Enhanced/both): Both Character name: N/A Does this issue appear again after a full game restart?: Yes How many times did this issue appear for you?: Since the recent phone update Issue/bug you are reporting: A player created a new character, immediately destroyed their phone, and committed a crime. Because the recent update tied IDs to phones, and new characters don't start in the police fingerprint database, this player successfully erased their IC existence to avoid police processing. Realistically, a citizen's identity exists in government databases (Birth records, immigration, DMV) regardless of whether they own a cell phone. The player is using a script limitation (the removal of /license and the DB relying on the phone) to force a scenario that is physically impossible in roleplay. Arcangel responded to the report for exploiting adamantly defending the exploit as an intended game mechanic. forcing a suspect to go buy a phone to "create" an identity mid-arrest makes zero roleplay sense. Furthermore, the suspect could just RPLy type a fake name into the new phone, rendering the process useless. Expected behavior: a scriptly possible way to identify a player without forceRP / admin assistance. Evidence (MUST provide either UNEDITED photo or video) , notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Vehicle license plate number*:
jason Posted April 28 Report Posted April 28 This is not a bug or exploit. The character still has an identity without documents. Failure to provide identity is handled via IC means as it always has been prior to this system when people would RP destroying their documents and did not have fingerprints in the system. All that they've accomplished is being perma-jailed in a holding cell until they provide their identity.
