Popular Post Chrisy Posted September 14, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 Yet again another topic about bring back turfs, how fun. Tried including as much as I can + benefits. Anything else I think of I will add at a later time. If you aren't aware already there is little to no fights between gangs anymore, there used to be huge fights with the city breaking loose as a result of this we've seen it many of times over the past year but as of recently not so much. One of the main reasons for this is that there is nothing for gangs to fight over. Drug labs currently are dead and majority of the time you would find anyone or will run into a gang that you are neutral with. Being at war with a gang with the current state of the rule book and no beneficial awards is the reason everyone is to some extent neutral. When turfs were in place gangs would have to fight it out over a turf to get access to importing drugs and weapons and I know a lot of people will involve that official status has replaced this but in my opinion it is not a great replacement. Official factions are supposed to bring a higher standard of role play for the community and as it portrays it on the forums is excellent but in game doesn't reflect the same. My main example of this involves the old importing system with turfs as it was a higher standard of role play than the current one. Right now all you do is purchase a laptop, order it and boom you have guns and ammo. With the old importing system you had to work as a gang to ensure you received your import safely, storing the crates and not just driving up on a bike and disappearing by yourself. You then had to ensure that you safely transported the goods to your warehouse in order to access the goods. This would have been done via a convoy of trucks of many kinds as the larger the vehicle the more crates you could hold inside. Currently the way police catch you importing weapons is stupid. If you are not aware the police/sheriffs have a 5% chance of getting a notification when you order from the laptop removing all role play involved with detectives and it just takes a swat member to go on duty and sit there until it drops. This is poor role play and promotes it through the police faction. When we had turfs we have detectives actively doing work to catch people importing weapons and it was gives role play for both sides. It also creates a chance for criminals to catch detectives doing the work to find a drop and not just them showing up there and then. This also introduces the chance of creating more character development, for example; Back when the Irish Mob had the turfs there was an Irish detective Kyle Doherty aka Dingus. As he and the Irish have a history from back home and his brother being part of the mob, he untimely targeted them in which he was successful. He managed to catch us at multiple weapon drops snapping photos, tailing us to our warehouse taking photos of people carrying the weapons inside etc. He also infiltrated the gang and was able to get the information he needed to charge us on multiple occasions. This lead to he almost being CK'd and having to move house constantly to keep safe from the Irish. Personally I don't see this kind of detective work being done anymore and I would enjoy something of the same to return and I feel weapon imports are a large factor considering official factions only have access to it. With the above, I feel the newer import system is removing role play from the server and the gang neutrality exists due to having nothing to fight over. Turfs would allow this to happen, giving gangs a warehouse (6 Of which exist and are not currently used), introduce a headquarters, faction vehicles (Purchase certain vehicles that everyone in the faction could use.), and just a lot of opportunities open up with this. Another thing to add, this allows areas of the map with not as much action to be used. Allowing role play to vary throughout more locations on the map. Let me know your opinions below. 38 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSilky Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 +1, I loved criminal RP back when turfs were a thing. A scripted ability to prove your gang worthy. So many more gangs were active and there was much less teaming between factions. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruekatu Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) +1 However I would just like to add, whilst having the turfs there is a great idea to bring back. Isn't it still up to the factions at the moment to make their own 'turf'? For example the zeta store.. Yes it's close to an ncz but other crim factions can raid it and send a message but you don't. I assume it's because you don't want to then have retaliation if there are any survivors. But if you get them all and cut the cameras no will know unless you say something. Which yu could to increase your 'Street cred'. In my opinion just because there isn't a system doesn't mean yu can't rp it. Edit: cameras in the shop and alley due to the ncz stops on other side of road Edited September 14, 2019 by ruekatu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
