Rampant NRP Rule Breaking - Reckless Driving

[FusedAtoms]

I'll leave some feedback here and hopefully it reaches good ears.

Reckless driving is ruining the roleplay experience and is not being punished with the severity it should. After playing in the server for a few days it's obvious 99% of the players aren't obeying traffic laws, and a huge chunk isn't even following speed limits.

This would be ok, if not for the fact that players constantly violating the non roleplay rule by crashing into a pedestrian or other car and completely ignoring the situation. I was run over by a car a day ago and the other player just continued driving without a care. I've had severe crashes with other players which causes my engine to stall and the other player just keeps on driving as if nothing happened.

These interactions ruin roleplay, leave you with IC repair/recovery costs and the worst part of it is you can't even make an OOC rulebreak report because you don't even get the chance to observe other players' IDs.

I do think people need to put better focus on reacting to car crashes. l

But a lot of this already falls under non-rp so if you see people doing it you can report it either ingame or on the forums.

Maybe it's just because I'm inexperienced but what tools are there for making reports? The issue I have is players are long gone before I can take a peek at their Player ID. For example the time I was run over by a car going at what seemed to be way more than 145KM/h on an area that should be 80KM/h, I didn't get a chance to even see the Player ID to make a report for that person. Yesterday I crashed with another car which was going at high speeds and my vehicle stalled but theirs didn't, I also missed my chance to look at the player ID.

Use third party recoding software,  then slow the video down.

You can always do /report and ask for the ID of the player who last did damage to you for a report. Admins will probably give the info to you for a report.

 

On another note, as someone who spends a large part of my time speeding, I don't think there is anything wrong with that playstyle, RP is what you make of it. But I do agree that crashing against another player and leaving as if nothing happened especially if realistically you or your car would be damaged is kinda Non-RP. On the flip side I see new players all the time legit running in the middle of the highway, so for those particular players I have 0 sympathy if someone crashes into them and they keep going.

Ah I see, so there are ways to still report based on damage, that's good to know. And I totally get that fast, reckless driving is part of the RP for many characters, and I don't have a problem with that. But I feel like unless you're being actively pursued by the PD, you should at least stop and acknowledge a heavy crash, even if your response is to just then make a run for it. Maybe so that my character can at least see the car model/make and make an IC report or something like that. 

That way maybe I can get some RP content out of filing a report with the police, but right now all I get is a 1k repair bill for my engine and zero RP from it.

yup, I agree, if people want to drive fast that is fine, but probably not the best show of RP to smash into someone at 190km/h and casually drive off as if nothing happened.

the biggest issue with this is desync, I have blown past cars where I am CLEAR past them only for me to turn around and see them in the air or spinning out. Hard to RP that as on my side I never even touched them, but in their eyes I t bone the fuck out of them.
