I won't say yes or no to this suggestion - but if it was to be implemented it has to go both ways. By that I mean there would need to be a cap on how many criminals can take part in one specific act as well to keep some level of balance.
If added back, it would e great if it required a a bit more effort and prep work than 24/7 robberies and the old banks.
Could be tied into Lifeinvader, the radio towers, the power grid station or something of the sort to make it more interesting. Just a thought.
This is already the case. The reason you, and a lot of other criminals, aren't on the system is that a lot of officers aren't trained/qualified in dealing with it hence you've never been added. Hopefully soon to change.
Believe this is still a general issue.
For me it happens whenever my memory usage goes up, eg around gatherings of players - and with the server seeming to use more and more memory it has gotten worse.
All for this suggestion, and think it has been made before, as long as it does NOT allow people to rob player houses and items as that creates a horrible and unbalanced meta - which all Arma players will be all too familiar with.
Like the concept in general but you have to be very careful giving civilians access to cars like the M5 for balance reasons. If you slightly nerf all the civilian variants I see no issues.
At the moment this rule is interpreted in such a way that it is not allowed to eg force someone to withdraw money from their bank at gunpoint and I would expect the same is true for forcing someone to give you their car, house or anything of the kind. I would like to suggest that this is...
Summary:
Allow people to call the favorite contacts, such as Police and NHS, and have anyone clocked in as that role be able to answer.
Suggestion:
Let civilians call the 'Favorites' in the contacts such as police, NHS, taxi and mechanic. Everyone clocked on as this job then gets a...
Suggestion:
Add server announcements, like the ones about the forums and discord, for the wiki that is available by pressing [F5]. Soo many of the questions asked in the OOC chat could be quickly figured out if people knew about the [F5] wiki.
The Pros:
Less OOC spam and generally better UX...
@3FingerGaming yes and no. Its both. Giving people a way to make their vehicles untraceable is incredibly powerful and hi ders us as police from scraping cars, tieing owners to offences etc. If something like this was to be implemented it would need to be heavily balanced not to further empower...
From a police POV we already deal with enough supercars that we can't catch up to, this would certainly not help. Whilst I get the want to use your car for crime there has to be a fair risk vs reward to it.
@Poolie it's a know issue and unfortunately it hasn't worked for the last 6 ish months.
However, while it doesn't replace the editor, the ingame phone cameras zoom can give similar results for still images or static video shots. This was shot almost exclusively with the phone camera...
