Vehicle breakdown and mechanic rework

Recommended Posts

Posted

First of all, i want to say how utterly stupid the car breakdown system is. You could basically make a tour driving around the city and saying "On the right we can see a white warrener that hit a tree in the 1930s. That vehicle survived Pearl harbor and WW2, and even saw 15 thousand people trying to steal it".

Most of you probably have already dealt with your car breaking down. Today my car broke down and i had to wait 20 minutes for a mechanic (230+online, it said 6 mechanics online), After those 20 minutes i just decided to explode my car so it would appear in mors, what apparently isn't possible. I spoke to a few mechanics and they said, that they have too much requests and it's just very hard to catch a call. The reasons are : 

  1. Because of roleplay standards, there aren't enough mechanics to support such a vehicle breakdown system. To join the job you have to file an application, then go through a interview and so on, which a lot of players find annoying, but that's just roleplay, so you can't do anything here.
  2.  The cars break down just too fast and there aren't any ways to fix them except calling the mechanics.

How to fix this :

  • Make a toolkit system, players could use it to fix their car to 500 health. To fix to 1000 they should go to mechanics like it is now. The toolkits may only be sold by mechanics, so they wouldn't lose a lot of work.
  • If it's possible make a rope system, so players could tow each others vehicles with it. (Maybe also add a chance that it breaks or something)

This would make SO, SO much difference in the game. Right now if your car breaks down, you can just abandon it or try to destroy it, because there is almost no chance to get a mechanic, because of their workload.

+1, i was literally on the way to make the toolbox suggestion, the amount of times my car breaks down and no mechanic ever comes to fix it is beyond annoying, especially for beginners when they only have one car and basically can't do anything for time.

 

PLEASE implement a toolbox for players, even if its like 1.5k-2k so we have some sort of option to be able to use our car when mechanics are busy.
