It works, Im watching someone do it now. The times are reduced making it harder to do tho.  A decent pilot shouldnt have any issues. Good thing @Norwegianviking is bad, cause its hilarious.

@Norwegianviking You can do it man! I see you!! lol

[TiLLeR]

Seems like a nice patch which balances a bunch of things.  I look forward to seeing how the Drug Runner missions are changed.  Hopefully spreads people out a bit more.  I just made the 'rich list' last night so I'm curious to see how much my prestige has changed...

[Ozadu]

Welp time to start making money again.

[bamf]

I'm not saying any of you scripted the prestige, only that the staff was lazy in removing the prestige that wasn't legitimate.  Since it matters now, we needed to clean it up.

When a hacker joins the server and gives everyone on the server tons of cash or tons of prestige. Thats scripted prestige.

Can you make it so its the same money for lethals again? because rebels are literally getting 400k+ a fed and cops get nothing. and its pretty hard to taze someone and go in there and restrain them if they are a big gang, gangs are abusing feds and getting so much money of them and we get shit

Exactly....capping it at 30k was ridiculous. 75k would be reasonable even...as 1/2 of the max otherwise.

[Cassettes]

I guess people in their own gang can just shoot the vest now and explode it without initiation then?

I can tell you that almost no one is going to like this in regards to money cap changes once they start grinding... I don't mind cap personally, but you really think rebels want to grind 10 mil prestige to get unlimited cap? Not a chance, this is really just masking the cap and still having one basically. I don't care but others will I assure you. You have to have 10 mil in currency you WILL NEVER USE.....in order to take on money u can then use. By 10 mil you're burned out. The richest players pre 6.0 only had like 100mil anyways I? And they just bought it.

Pretty sure everyone that was bitching is pretty satisfied atm, including me.

 

Money making on civ is fine, you're just shit at it @william

That's surprising since you'd have to do like 90 meth runs to unlock unlimited cap....that's like 3 1/2 days of nonstop meth runs

No. The guy with the Vest still has to be initiated with the people around him.

The raises in cap in regards to the amount of prestige are nice. It still gives the ability to grind and have additional funds.  While there will be some "useless" grinding its a goal to work towards, which is what people asked for.  Seems like a pretty fair compromise really. From a "career cop" perspective, it will still take me forever to even get close to being able to be uncapped. I think right now im just under 2 mil prestige.

I mean if the guy wearing the vest is being questioned by the police and his buddy shoots him to detonate it, I doubt his going to file a RDM claim.

@Gnashes If cops have a guy with a vest on in restraints and i shoot the vest, will it blow up?

I'm concerned with the removal of money cap that people will value currency less. 

EG> People sell money for less, people buy their way to 10m prestige,  then use their money to harass new players or just hand money out to randoms. (Sounds like a nice thing to do but can actually cause bordom if you are given money but have no idea how to spend it, ruins the whole learning experience). I'm just worried that the server economy goes to a point where suicide vests are considered "cheap"

[Bikstok]

Nice patch!

Please do a proper war season reset soon, @bamf @Paratus

Very nice

If the price goes down less people will sell, shouldn't be a real problem really.

No, the job of the APD is not to be a hitman.  Getting 30k is a compromise that pays the cops when they HAVE to use lethal rounds.  Your job as a member of the APD is to capture criminals, not kill them for profit.

Sometimes its hard to catch them when they have like 20 people online, so i would rather be a hitman at that point.

At least make it so it gives 100% of their bounty but cap at 30k. Instead of the 20% it gives now
