Kjaer Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) I think players should be able to increase their personal non-factional influence level within turfs so that they may order BASIC black market supplies (cook ingredients, limited attachments, flashlight? MAYBEE a low quality body armor? + inconspicuous repairman items at bulk with reduced pricing, NO GUNS) at a lower quantity amount (half) and marked up price than what the factions buy at once they've built and maintained high enough influence. These shipments should have a higher % chance of being intercepted with gang intelligence, the gang being the main controller of the turf being notified. This change should be implemented because currently I have no reason to not use gangs to chop my cars, they dont really take a cut because theyre keeping influence and then I also get the protection of a gang for basically nothing. I should have personal leverage to chop/sell/exchange money on their territory and make a name for myself among the merchants and import items from them to expand or continue my business with cheaper resources such as picks, bolt-cutters, etc. even if I am not in a gang. If I am chopping near a hundred thousand dollars worth of profit to these guys, I think they would trust me and talk with me to get me some tools and resources. Same goes for those cooking and selling 10's of kilos to these guys of hard ass drugs or exchanging tens of thousands in stolen packed money. Eventually 'influence' would be earned and we would get some little perks. I am not for taking away from gang-common crim RP. I think this will create interesting interactions and create some choices (riskvsreward) for the player when deciding where to sell and chop. Thanks for reading, I hope you guys can get on board with this. If there is anything you think needs improvement feel free to add and build to the suggestion so we can get it added.

Xoza Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) +1 Small time criminals should also be able to, maybe not import a lot of items, but one item only, no matter what it is. Using another gang's contact also, could alert them to your activities, and they could also have a chance to intercept it, or you...

alexalex303 Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 I think this is a good compromise between all or nothing for official factions. I'd even include some basic weapons, as long as the cooldown is long enough, and if they're priced considerably more than the official faction imports. This should be a way to break a monopoly, but not a viable alternative for everyone to get easy access to guns. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are talking about individual credibility with the dealers here then I think there should not be any alerts to the gang after a certain point. Realistically the relationship would not make any sense if the player is grinding away to build his cred and then the dealer just snitches on him or her every time a shipment of an item is ordered.

Xoza Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 Nice thing about this also, is it would encourage you being able to work on your own reputation with the contact versus helping the bigger gangs by trading or 'being allowed' to use the contact on 'their turf'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankieP Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 +1, there is currently not many options for people trying to RP as a solo criminal, or even in a small group of friends. Players shouldn't have to be a part of a large faction to enjoy crim 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cousin Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 +1, Hard to find enjoyable immersion in Criminal RP as a small group/solo. Shouldn't have to join MS-13 and slave away making drugs to have a good time. The rich just get richer with the lacking Crim options 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalvinKlein Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 Being part of a big gang myself, at this point I support anything that brings more crim RP to the server, some ppl on my suggestion thread said crims will always be biased towards their own interest, however directly this is against my personal interest but I def support it 100% since it brings more RP to solo criminals + myself since if intercepted will result into RP from my end, and gangs will keep an eye on who's talking to their dealers etc and over all crims will have more player to player interactions between each other, whether someone is caught overstepping and dealing with someone on a turf that's not their own, or they get away with it and a drop is intercepted etc. Overall it would improve RP for small time criminals, and also bring new opportunities to the bigger ones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ne0n1c Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) 0 Would give the "clapper gangs" with their poor rp more power but would be benefitial for smaller gangs that actually know how to rp Edited November 26, 2020 by Ne0n1c changed opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
