Sandwich Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 Quick little idea. We're pushing for the best new player experience (and existing of course too) on the server, of course. During processing sometimes there's actual RP that goes on (we love that). During Processing/Searching we can sometimes ask "are you new to the island?" etc. Which helps us be lowkey in finding out if who we're talking to is new. Then being able to be a little easier with them if so. I'm suggesting an idea that during a Search, there's a part of the search that states "New Player?" and then "Yes" or "No". This can be filtered by if the player we're searching has more than maybe like 48 hours (2 days) played on the server. No need to list a specific number or anything, just the system picking up if they have over 2 days played or under. More than 48 hours played? "No", not a new player. Less than 48 hours? "Yes", they are a New Player. "No" could be red and "Yes" could be green That's it. A simple idea that I feel APD Staff could help push to be a little more easy going on New Players.

zdeat Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) Maybe under the name could be in bright bold red "New Player" if they have under 50 hours on civilian. 120 Hours of in game time is a lot to still be considered new. Then again the hour range could be higher? Edited March 8, 2023 by zdeat BlackShot and Sandwich like this Link to comment

Maybe a bright yellow This would only show up in the Search box on the right side of the screen as we're used to as APD when searching. 12 minutes ago, zdeat said: Maybe under the name could be in bright bold red "New Player" if they have under 50 hours on civilian. 120 Hours of in game time is a lot to still be considered new. Then again the hour range could be higher? It was a rough number. 120 hours is definitely a little high. Maybe 48 hours (2 days) I'll edit it. Link to comment

william Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 If i dont recognize the name and they dont have a title/gang i always look them up on myasylum to check myself if they are new while processing, although maybe even a symbol above their head if they are new instead of colors??

Personally ive seen when they are new they seem to hate every cop even if u go slow and explain that their tickets can be reduced if they explain. I’ve said this many times and I get a classic “fuck you pig” or “fuck 12” then they don’t have enough money for the ticket and they quit. I don’t think it would change much Sandwich likes this Link to comment

I don’t think it would change much Well it doesnt always have to be in relation to processing/tickets. If APD can know someone is genuienly new, there's a lot of wiggle room for being nicer, trying to RP more, RP differently, etc. Although I do see what you mean, I believe this idea would do more good than harm.
