cracked Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Here's the issue. Multiple times, cars have been at fault for a collision with me below the magical 90MPH extreme desync limit, and they've just said "oops, void?" and due to me wanting to RP it, but actually not wanting to get in an argument on an OOC level with a player, ive just said "ok" and drove on. The issue is, if you had to RP every little car incident, you'd be spending a-lot of time RP'ing them because people drive like idiots and are always going to, because it's a game, you're not risking your life by driving badly Link to comment
Brownie Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I think an increased LSPD presence would slow everyone down. Link to comment

friendlyman Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Desync definitely occurs less than 90MPH and it happens a lot. You can't start punishing people because you're assuming they're lying. I'd rather this than having to RP every single time i've accidentally hit someone because of desync. Link to comment
Engelbert Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) Driving is what it is. Honesty it cannot even be anything else, except for people on bikes. Lag and desync are culprits for most of accidents, especially those where a single truck rams multiple parked cars off the road and takes them with it. The reason for people driving at full speed is, cause streets are empty. Of course there are people ramming others off refueling spot, happened to me as well, those are the ones not driving in roleplay. Edited May 5, 2019 by Engelbert 2 Link to comment

Particularly a lot of courier drivers who blast through cars doing 90 and don't stop to RP. You can't report it because they were going too fast for you to see the ID. And then the courier job is just driving from A to B for money with zero roleplay. The amount of times I see courier vans driving on the wrong side of the road passed or even through an FD scene is absurd. It may happen in real life every now and then - but not on every scene several times a scene. I understand the trucker script is coming so that would be good. But it's an RP server nonetheless, so lets actually drive RPishly please. I agree this needs to stop. We see courier vans pass our garage all the time at full speed and going through red traffic lights, almost as if it's GTA Online. There's also been multiple instances of near-misses when trying to pull out of the property and waiting at traffic lights on Popular Street. A lot of people have no regard for roleplaying driving in a high quality manner in low population areas, and it's incredibly annoying. Link to comment
friendlyman Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 How would you enforce this? Ban people if they drive too fast? There shouldn't be any near-misses if at least one party 'RPly' drives i.e. stopping at intersections but that doesn't happen because it makes it impossible to get anywhere with any speed. This is a non-issue, you're getting triggered by people speeding. Link to comment
Rensai Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 What annoys me more than the driving here is the parking. Just like having to drive on the right side of the road, people should have to park on the street here too, not on the sidewalk, unless their character is of European origin, then it can be an IC issue, but an American would never do that, or would get an immediate ticket/impound for doing it if a cop sees it, and yet its treated like a normal thing. 1 Link to comment
Kimberly Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I think that this interpretation of red lights of being stop signs is the real issue. Make everyone actually stop at the lights listed and then people won't go flying down the street at 100s of miles per hour. Link to comment
