Bring back name tags in cars


Recommended Posts

It's going to be impossible to report people for doing stupid shit if their name tags are invisible. What am I supposed to report a guy driving like a maniac?

" Guy in pink Drafter at 10 PM " ?

How are we going to know if out of 3 armed passengers 2 disconnect during a pursuit and you end up with only 1 at the end?


If 4 people are shouting in the car how do I know who's who? In real life you'd see their lips moving or you'd be able to locate the source of noise.

If 4 people are in a cat and one emotes PULLING OUT AN UZI how do I know which one it is if they don't have name tags? By the time you see it you're already dead, where in real life you'd see movement.
 

 

This change brings A LOT of complications and I can't see the gain.

Bruh. Literally next to the car and can't see the name tag. How do you roleplay with 4 people inside?

Here's a few examples of people abusing this

No this is really really really bad. The server has other issues and making things harder for everyone especially cops isn't the way to go. If the only argument is "to prevent metagame" then it's a bad one. This just trades a problem that can be solved to 5 others that can't be solved. Please revert this. I don't even know who's in my car at this point.

No one needed this change, it just makes everything more  complicated. Being an LEO and chasing someone in a pursuit... they do a Michael Bay movie stunt and then disconnect? Well too bad you can't report them since you don't know who the hell it was. There was no issues as how it was before, so changing it back would make it easier for everyone.

Maybe do it 3-5 times. Maybe add id's so people can do /id [number] and figure out who broke rules so they can be reported. It's almost as if having people sometimes abuse masks to get away from ic or ooc situations isn't bad enough. Maybe do [Unknown Person] if their car windows are tinted until you're close enough. Have a way to always tell who is who as this cannot be fully adapted to an ultra realistic level of "what your character would see". It's unrealistic at this point. It's just unfair for people that can't add mods, add-ons, scripts, record or take screenshots because they're playing on pixels. It's horrible. Absolutely horrible.

You cannot see who is driving inside the vehicle if he is speeding at 120MPH, and less if it's in the middle of the night, even during the day unless you are driving parallel to him or using a helicopter.

 

It may have been greatly reduced, as in the case of that photo, but it should't be seen who drives if you are some distance from the other driver, the script needs to be increased a little, so that it can be seen from a distance.

Reducing the range is no bueno because you'll have pursuits where you're not close enough to see the guy's name, and he'll be doing crazy stuff in the car, with no one knowing who to report.

It doesn't help me at all from an IC point of view to see whose name tag it is. It helps me a lot from an OOC point of view to know who breaks rules. And if you watch my post history you'll see I do quite a bit of reporting.
