    Remove cop ifrits

    in APD Suggestions

    Posted · Edited by Vash

    I've seen plently of fed events where cops won without Ifrits and MK1s and also seen plently of feds where cops got wrecked while pulling a shit ton of armor. It's not really that relevant since tactics matter more. And as said before, you're complaining about a problem that happens maybe less than 10% of the time, since we don't have online Lts for the majority of the events that pop.

    Sometimes rebels win, sometimes cops win. Stop trying to nerf other factions just because you lost.

    Excluding illegal weapons, vehicles and contraband, are we allowed to let a civilian keep their lockpicks or any other "minor" items that would show as illegal, provided that they have a good explanation (out of RP) to keep them?

    It would be interesting to hear some neutral suggestions on how to solve the problem. I'm not sure everything that can be done to resolve the issue but there are ways to that people might be more open to. 

    From the top of my head:

    • a small percentage of the total bounty is deducted from your bank account the moment you are sent to prison
    • restrict the player from certain activities for x amount of time (example:  unable to get a BH license up to 15 mins after being released, etc)

    Im sure that we could find other solutions to this other than increasing jail time

    1. Even if you play another faction you cannot play civ until you wait that time to get out of prison, btw the timer resets every time you softlog.

    2. The consequence is losing my kit and being delayed to play the game. Pressing plates might be 6 minutes but if you explain your charges for let’s say 5 minutes, cop still gives you a full ticket because cops are cunts, you go to jail, press plates, get out of jail. Have to wait 30 seconds to suicide, then have to wait another 30 seconds to respawn. Or if you don’t want to suicide and actually store your clothing, it takes probably a minute and a half to two minutes to run down the bridge without redgulls to grab a car to drive to a house. At least a good 15 minutes of not being able to play the game how you want to play it.

    3. I think you’re upset you get shit on by every civ and cry on the forums to give them higher consequences so the one time you rat somebody and rococop them at hq you can make them suffer for the anger they’ve induced on you.

    Y'all need to stop basing all your arguments on the premise that all cops will robocop you if you get arrested. I'm sure that there will always be bad apples, but I honestly think this is a minority of cops that do that nowadays. I see way more cops issuing pardons for 100k+ bounties after a good RP encounter than giving civs full tickets after they took their time and effort to explain their charges.

    I've been on this server since 2014. I've had $1,000,000 bounties and spent 4+ hours in jail at a time. When I get a bounty now I just think it's ridiculous I only have to spend that amount of time in jail to then go out and do the exact same thing over again and paying a ticket above the cost of my loadout isn't worth it since I can get out of jail in 6 minutes. I'm suggesting something to change that mindset because there should be stronger repercussions to having a high bounty. 

    I agree with the problem, not the solution. I couldn't be asked to sit in jail for 30+ mins, let alone 4 hours.

    Okay member of faction who can never be arrested, explain to me why your opinion matters on the topic of how long a civilian should be in jail for

    These servers thrived back in the day without these small jail timers, there's a reason few new players stay on the server. By implementing this change we can bring new players in and actually allow them time to enjoy the game without being constantly killed by people who don't care about killing everyone they see as worst case scenario they spend 6 minutes in jail.

    I don't think new players leave the server because of this and I also believe that implementing the change you suggest isn't really going to bring new players in. With that in mind, even though I believe in the premise that players should be "punished" for being caught, I don't agree that adding jail time is a proper solution. In my opinion, we could explore other types of punishments (monetary, maybe?) for players that go to jail.

    Imagine playing GTA5 but every time you die while with 5 stars, you have to wait 20 minutes before you can play again. That would be boring af

    Helicopter / hot drop training

    in Training Center

    Posted

    Even though knowing how to hot drop pretty useful, I think it's a really technical skill which involves a lot of practicing until you get the hang of it. In practice, I don't see the training going well because:

    1. You can watch a 5 min YT video on how to do it (the theory behind landing a heli is quite simple)
    2. It will probably take you way more than 1 hour of practice to become comfortable with it
    3. The training server would probably start lagging like crazy with all the helicopters and explosions

    nor am i saying that you said that it was the solution. i simply said nothing should really be added to the existing cadet/constable which you were implying.

    unless u want corruption and fed events to be unbalanced!

    Completely agree! I think we can figure out other solutions to that problem.

    yes !!! give constables and cadets mk1s and ifrits !!!  ! ! ! ! great idea ! ! ! ! ! !  ! !  

    there is a reason why the lower ranks have access to less stuff. feds are balanced when sgt+ is online other than the fact you have about 15 ifrits with 1 cadet in each pushing u.

    nothing like this should be added to cadet/constable. the only thing i can see being viable is letting a constable pull 1/2 orcas per fed event and feds event only.

    I never said adding these weapons to cadets/constables was the solution my guy

    i think youve missed the point of this suggestion.
    lower ranks will not be getting a smoke motar even if in some weird world its added, so its not even going to fix ur issue 

    I didn't miss the point. That's why I said that imo, adding more weapons/armor to Sgt+ is pointless since most Fed events are pretty already when they are online.

    Cops ask for way too much shit man. you've already be given ifrits, mk-1s, marids, swat, what more do you need to win? this isn't an equipment issue, it's a skill issue.

    Try stopping a bank with protectors/SPARs and hatchbacks and then tell me if its a skill issue.

    I think that would be way too overpowering for cops. Adding new features/helpers for sgt+ and SWAT are not going to change the outcome of these events that much imo.

    Fed events when Sgt+ are online are pretty balanced as both factions have access to armor. The problem is when fed events popup when only cadets/constables are online.

  24. Loadout System - Check for existing items

    in Approved

    Posted

    When picking a saved loadout from the loadout system, it should check for already equipped items and only buy the items that are missing.

     

    Example:

    Saved Loadout:

    • Combat Helmet
    • CSAT Coveralls
    • MX
    • 6x MX Rounds
    • ARCO
    • NVGs

    I am carrying the following:

    • Combat Helmet
    • CSAT Coveralls
    • MX
    • 2x MX Rounds
    • NVGs

    If I equip the loadout above, I should not have to buy the MX, uniform and NVGs again. Instead of paying full price for every item in the loadout, I would only pay for the ARCO and 4x MX rounds
