Operation: Bring back the Convoy.

Not to be a buzzkill or anything, but considering Mick's multiple answers here, I think this is now a dead run. Leave it.

Well Mick is a human isn't he? He can change his opinion on this if we find a really good solution.

meh, out of 36 people that voted, 46 want it.

Sure, mick has every right to say no and can, noone has to like it.

I disagree with his stance, and the way he curbs everything, the players are getting less and less say and choice in how and what they choose to do on the server (within the rules) It seems that a minority of immature / rule breakers are influencing his choices on matters like our houses actually being ours, and not just a money sink.

Seriously, you buy a house and automatically lose half of it...it's a bit lame.

Other way around Lindsey =P 46 people voted 36 want it. I was going to say that too Lindsey. Mick its what the players want, and we want that. The poll shows it man. My poll is doing better than wolf when he made the:, Police should be able to collect fines using civillian vehicles topic.

Yes
    25 (41.7%)
No
    35 (58.3%)

that was wolfs poll. And you give it to him mick. I have a better vote on mine, and your not even compromising here.

[mick88]

Every negative thing you throw out me I have a solution for it.

No, my arguments still stand. There will be no increase in convoy bonus.

compromise with me here. Can you somehow make it a way to increase more people in a convoy?

Suggest something then.
I may have some idea in mind, but it wouln't be added until version 2.5 since college started again and I've about finished making updates until summer.

[Geckco]

How about this, you increase it to the way it was before, making people "rich" and you make house prices more expensive or you bring house auctions back? idk I was thinking about that

[Bruno_2MLG4CT]

+1       

[TwiXXXie]

i think the first option geckco, big payment and high house prices.....let's be serious everyone likes to see lots of money in theyr bank xD

Ok this just crossed my mind and could be a huge thinghy to script/test ect, but i think its worth it.
Since mick said he is not gonna change the convoy bonus payouts i thought of something similair bur still different.


The convoy experience system.


Each time u finish a mission in convoy u will receive the normal score, but in /stats it will be also stated as : Convoy experience
Thats the basics:) now the other stuff to encourage bigger convoys.


My idea: There will be thresholds with certain amount of mission in convoy  done( the experience)and receive special score aka experience for it. Those players with more experience earn a little bit more in the total payout. But the extra pay outs based on experience are divided in ranks and with reasonable maxinum levels.

details; So as stated above, Players can earn more, but have to do convoys for it. This will stimulate solo drivers to do convoys. But this does not stimulate big convoys since it still works with just 2. So here comes the finishing touch:


Convoy experience ( in /stats screen )Based on the amount of players in ur convoy. Do missions with a bigger conovy = more experience per mission
2-5  = low experience per mission gained: Example: 5
6-12= Medium experience per mission gained: Example 15
13- 20 = high experience per mission gained: Example 25
21+ = Extreme experience per mission gained : Example 50


Experience thresholds for the payouts:
500 experience = unlock $150 bonus
1000 experience= unlock $300 bonus
2000 experience = unlock $600 bonus
5000 experience = unlock $1200 bonus


Let me awnser this for ya mick: Mick said, no increase in payouts based on players in convoys. Well with this system players earn more in the total payout based on their experience with convoys. You can see the extra/higher payout as : salary ( In real life, older, more experienced players do get paid out more just for their know-how/age )


Short version: The bonusses above can be unlocked when gaining experience by doing works in a convoy. Completing missions with a bigger convoy = more experience at once.
Example:
100 missions done in a convoy with 2-6 players = 100 *5( experience per mission)= 500 < unlock first bonus level.
So from now of on each mission wheter single or in convoy will be have a little higher payout due to the fact u worked in convoys and u earn a little more for that experience. To stimulate bigger convoys u can complete a mission in a bigger convoy and get higher amount of experience.




So this is my idea, and i think this or a similair/edited version of this system will encourage others to do more missions in a convoy and even more to create a big convoy. After all its convoy trucking right? i think we should stimulate everything possible to have those big convoys back in town.

PS. we have some great scripters on this server, i think they could help u with some basic stuff as creating levels etc.

That would take some work, I guess. Not only house prices has to go up, also all services, payment on ALL missions, and all vehicle prices..

[Geckco]

holy fuck konali! i gave u a cookie. I really like konali's idea

[The Wolf]

Also i'm sorry I have to ask, what happened to everyone did they get butthurt when someone told them to "fuck off"? I mean really you can't even joke around with your friends without being shown the /rules.

Yes but without us there is no "sandbox". Meaning without the people who play this server, the server is nothing. It's what the players want.

Oh and I will not lock the topic. You can leave.
