Title: I got 2 complaints
Post by: Woodex on February 27, 2014, 17:21
1st complaint is about speedtraps. They are set on the ground so players can't really see them well. My suggest is taller speedtraps. Example: (http://i.imgur.com/ljvKhIQ.jpg)
Police officers would still earn, because some people still might avoid speedlimits.
2nd complaint is about canceling the /work menu. When you type /work you have no cancel button. Pressing ESC button on your keyboard does nothing, it start you a mission. My idea is to add a cancel button to a /work menu. Example: (http://i.imgur.com/gO98ZzG.png)

More of a suggestion than complaint. shall i move this?

My response:

1) No, they look silly as fuck. Get the 'travelin man' achievement, you'll see them on the minimap, or slow down breack for moose.

2) Yes, it's a good idea but why not /stopwork after? since its the same thing (in my head).

1) No, they look stupid.

2) No, that would allow people to do the easiest mission all the time.

if(!response)return cmd_stopwork(playerid,params);

Make it return /stopwork :) so it'd make no difference to what it usually is

No, that'd be bad. What if someone pressed ESC accidentally? Then they lose money instead of just doing a mission any way.

1. Straight copy from PPC. The travelling man achievement would become somewhat useless.
2. What Hobo said, people would choose the shortest and easiest missions.

Leave it as it is. :dislike:

The 2nd idea could be solved simply by making more missions avaible to chose so instead of 5 there would be 10.

1. I sorta agree with this but then I don't. Al you gotta do is slow down. If people spot these easier like a mile away, then cops would get bored and no reason for them to be in that class. Speed camera's are fine. :dislike:

2. This one i agree with. Like at times of major lag i want to stay on main land and no main land missions will pop up for me so i have to /cancel sometimes 2 times but you can only use like once every 60 seconds which wastes time. So this one i have to give a thumbs up on. But I would say you have to get the Achievement for that class in order to use the cancel button. Say for instance, when you complete 500 artic or more, you have the cancel button option. That way it doesn't matter what way you do missions. But until you get the achievement, i say no cancel button. :like:

to your first "complaint," its going to be a no. if youve been around CT long enough to know where all the major traps are, you wouldnt need to be now, by your suggestion here, see them, and yes, if people went the speed limits, you wouldnt be fined or lastly, get the ability to see them via the 50k km achievement.

to your second "complaint,"  if you dont have a mission you like, hit enter on one, then /stopwork, yeah it charges you, but you can pick again and by the time youre done with one you finally picked, you earned that missing loads money for canceling back and then some.. Also, if there is no good mission you like for trucker class, consider a different one, or simply get the achievement and choose from 5 and not 3.

You need to get charged by canceling a mission and the reason why there isn't a cancel button is because it would make people farm short missions and get achievements faster.
Just select a mission, type /cancel or /stopwork and start a new one again, not a big issue, you can still choose a new one but you can't cancel it again, you gotta wait 3 minutes (farming restrictions).

I agree with Lil_Shakey.
I was wrong with 1st complaint but 2nd i don't think so!
Consider that /cancel and /stopwork cannot be used in a row, you must wait 3mins to use it again.
Even when you use it you lose money!

Why do you need a cancel or stopwork button in /work? If you didnt want to work, why did you freaking type it...:|

So pay the consequence of doing /stopwork to get an easier mission xD otherwise its just farming 100%.
