Phil McGee Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 I think cops need to RP dragging people from the cars a bit better. Walking up to a locked car and just pressing a key that auto types out a /me message is border line power gaming. If thats the case why can civs not do the same? A At the very least they should have to RP putting their baton into there hands before dragging you out. As it stands nobody is going to risk stopping and trying to bluff the cops to get out of a traffic stop , it proceeds straight to chase and no RP as they just push the magic button and you're out. Also what is the IC rule for traffic stops? Arent cops supposed to have a valid reason to stop you, for example you have committed a traffic offense. Also IRL some states police are not allowed to run a check on random plates at there will, they need a reason. Its supposed to be RPing a vibrant city where you might not recognize every car you see.

Cooksley Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) Ummm lol depends on the cop but usually we RP smashing the window and everything just depends on how the criminal is acting rp wise that's why it has an auto \me because not eweveryone rps good and if the person isn't rping well yeah we are going to use it without better rp. So I don't think it should be changed Edited November 3, 2017 by Cooksley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashingly Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 yeah +1 for the baton thing and rping it out a bit better, Just now, Cooksley said: Ummm lol what's with that^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil McGee Posted November 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Lead by example, I have never personally seen any cop RP using a baton to grab somebody out of the car. I've seen cops with nothing in their hands doing it. I think it should be a requirement as 90% of cops will not voluntarily RPing using a baton, or /me a resist. So why should the civs put themselves in the position of falling prey to a power gaming copper, I know im certainly not going to put myself in that situation? Hence RP and interactions are going to take a hit. Not to mention the fact there isnt even an animation to go with the magic me/ Im teleporting you out.

Cooksley Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) Look what you guys also don't get is that we as pd if you are a cop we are held to the highest standards of rp. So if you obviously think there should be better rp then don't bring it here to suggestions take it to internal affairs for pd. This is the most common mistake between the pd and the civs. If you feel like an officer is not rping like they should be report them to internal affairs I guarentee you they will be delt with. Just have good evidence and show that you where obviously willing to rp. Because they are an officer because they showed over top to during training so please go through the right channels and spread the word. Because its not fair to us both ways if that mechanic is not on trust me. Do this and it gets delt with if you just sit here say how its unfair and complain at the pd as a whole nothing will happen.

Phil McGee Posted November 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 People are waiting up to 5 weeks to get any response through those channels. If they are lucky enough to get one at all. I am not saying remove the command, I am saying RP the command properly. Not just going up to car with your bare hands and smashing the glass and ripping somebody from a locked car, its nonsense behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooksley Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Like I said that will be character wise so take it up with IA and ill be volunteering myself hopefully they will accept me because IA needs to be top priorty in my opinion to keep the bickering down to a minimal so everyone can have fun and not have it get ruined by one person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvalidSun Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 I wouldn't say that every cop does it. I've only used the command twice, the first time, all I did was pull out the baton and smash the window, but after a discussion about it, I let the guy go because we both felt my RP was not up to standard. The second time, I went through the full procedure of pulling out the baton and swinging it at the window, then while I was typing the "/do Does the window break?", the guy drove away. It's kind of a lose-lose command. Maybe if there were proper ways to have it done, and I honestly have no idea on what those ways could be. The only time the command will ever result in good things is if the RP is perfect on both ends and the criminal isnt afraid to lose a little.

Cooksley Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Couldnt said it better @InvalidSun I have been a member of PD since last april and only have used it twice lol once with very good RP and the other to get a non RPER out of the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashingly Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 I think if they at least take out the baton and smash the window in physically in game and then car jack the player then it will be at least half decent, not just walk up to a car with bare hands and yank them out the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvalidSun Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 We still end up in the same argument, baton or not. Its an instant command that screws you from that moment forward. Its going to get complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil McGee Posted November 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 I definitely think any reasonable RP would have a lot of harder time arguing it if the baton was out and the car was hit with an animation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvalidSun Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 I'm going to consider this Rejected as this is more of a Roleplay Standard than a development suggestion. PD does have specific guidelines on how to handle things and I believe most will follow it. This was a good discussion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
