ArcAngel Posted September 17, 2019 Report Posted September 17, 2019 The fearRP rule bugs me sometimes. How many times in life have gang members been in firefights? Where one gang member has pulled a gun and the other thinks they are fast enough to draw their gun and shoot first? It goes back to cowboys and dueling. I wish that you would be permitted to defend yourself should you feel you are fast enough to do so.

Well there has to be a game aspect to that, in real life, if you try to get into a firefight chances are you will die. Here you will just respawn. So there has to be a manufactured fear for your life, as we can't recreate real life loss.

But it goes back to the NLR rule maybe. It's just frustrating when you are farming, you followed the legal Avenue to get a firearms license and bought a gun, then spent half an hour farming to be forced to comply when someone holds a gun to your face.
ChuckM Posted September 17, 2019 Report Posted September 17, 2019 I can agree that the rule does need tweaking. In my opinion, the rule is worded like that to prevent people from trying to rob others in cars because it's so easy to disable a car with a single gun shot (not realistic at all). If the rules were flat changed to allow a robber to shoot at someone in a car, then there is 0 opportunity for someone to legitimately escape if cars are disabled so quickly. As soon as the gun comes out the other party has no option and the "hands up rob" mentality will only get worse. To combat this, I think we would see civilians (and some criminals) fleeing for their lives as soon as they see anyone remotely getting near them (does this already happen?). I understand Los Santos is a hyper violent city but closing this "loophole" will further make civilian life worse and they shouldnt have to be watching their back 24/7 even in the pseudo safety of a vehicle. I dont want to prohibit people from robbing others but chain crimes/robberies and broad daylight/public area robberies are low RP but not necessarily NonRP. On the other side, Fear RP rules state just some examples, not all. If someone is completely boxed in and has no where to flee, it's time to give up whether your car is stalled or not. 3
Sedin Posted September 18, 2019 Report Posted September 18, 2019 +1 people just run in cars and it's impossible to stop them without being punished for non-rp ramming.

The "My shields are up" mentality needs to end with cars. +1 for this reason
Dreamz Posted September 20, 2019 Report Posted September 20, 2019 +1 This rule should of been placed a long time ago as its always abused and also PD fail all the time to follow this rule. They shoot at me countless amount of times when my engine is on, but regardless the rule is kinda lame and this new one should be added.
BallinByNature Posted August 5, 2020 Report Posted August 5, 2020 This has been removed and updated however FearRP is still an element required for plausible demands in the update. Thanks for the suggestion.
