The policing career is the most in-depth of all the careers in Identity because it serves a very important role in the game as a whole. When you first start out as a rookie cop, you'll begin patrolling and responding to dispatch calls. If there's a dispatcher online you can speak to them directly with your radio and if not it's handled by an automated system. As you progress you can unlock additional perks in the policing career and eventually you can experience new specialty roles like detective, SWAT, and so on. A police officer can only ticket or arrest another player for something they are known to have committed. If a cop sees you speeding down the road, he then has the opportunity to ticket you. If he turns on his emergency lights and you refuse to pull over for him, the system will now allow him to charge you with resistance. That is, at the base level, how the system functions. Private servers have the option to remove all restrictions and leave it up to the discretion of the officer, although this system keeps the police in-line. A lot more information on policing will be available on the website very shortly. I just had to hide about half of this thread since it was completely off-topic arguing. Let's try to keep that to the private messages.

Oooh oh oh! I have something about this: Here and here. Your house won't disappear or be available for purchase when you log out, unless you log out and don't come back for long enough to miss paying your rent. There's a limited amount of houses on each server, you won't share houses from server to server, but they'll look the same by default. You can customize interiors when you purchase a house, can't change exteriors and I believe if you lose your house the furniture and decorations you bought are yours to keep and interior design changes to default. The only way to lose a house is if you stop paying the rent- you'll get kicked out and become most likely homeless, as the starting hotel will likely charge you rent aswell.

I love it! I also love how when you scroll down all you see is KittyDeKarebu

If I remember correctly I think map expansions will be handled via the passport. As they add areas you buy the passport stamp to allow travel to the new region. I'm not averse to microtransactions too.

We'll support a bunch of VR systems. In fact it's getting it's finishing touches coded up behind me right now.

I know that you will be able to elect a governor on the servers, so i have been wondering how the bodyguards will work. Do you guys think the bodyguards should, or will have special abilities like being able to manipulate the VIP in dangerous situations and maybe grab them and push them into the back of a safe car? What other abilities should bodyguards have to keep their VIP safe?

This is wayy (like super) down the line, but it'd be great to have an app for your phone that acts as your in-game phone and it can: Check Bank info Check home security camera's. Manage property (for businesses or multiple homes) Pay bills, transfer money Set GPS, timer, alarms etc Like I said, this is a Utopian dream but still cool idea

I know Identity will allow you to make your own business, so why not have some billboards posted around town? You can come up and purchase a billboard for a certain period of time. Like until you quit the server for example. You could draw something in the in game drawing program thing (Same one used to make paintings ;D) and put it up on a billboard. The only problem with this are the griefers who will most likely draw a penis or something.. You could have the admins on the server view the billboard design and approve it before it goes up on a billboard. Would only take like 5 seconds to look at it and say "yes".

Honestly now have I ever not behaved? *Resists the urge to misbehave and call you embarrassing name* It's very good to see you again mate. As I remember you were one of the first mods along with Katie. It's been a while. I shake you firmly in the hand!

This man has a good idea! (No bias involved ) But yeah, Altis Life is pretty fun once you get into it and find someone to hang with. Kind regards, DJScias

Yeah. It's great that such great developers figured out we're short on those titles Most people I know love roleplay and making their own characters but hate making or describing houses, interior designs etc. I have no clue why there are so many building games! I'd love more life simulators.

One of the only 2 burglars on the forum - get fucked, ya'll.

I want to live in the middle of nowhere, in some kind of swamp. I'd like to have my own little canoe in which I go rafting along the river on my way to work. And then if anyone tried to come anywhere near my residence, I'd just yell "GET OUTTA MAH SWAMP" in Mike Myers' voice.

I dunno about you guys but I want to go to Dienstfahrt.

Stealing my business, mate

There will be buses on release, but I doubt they'll be on Town Square. More likely on Racing module they'll add cars.

may have to re-save it! I fixed it after resizing it! Some slight variation in this new one:

I made this real quick in Photoshop!

If only it was like that in real life, you wave at a girl and you have her real name.

For sure. We're also trying to make every bit of the environment as interactive as possible, too. We already have nice motion-captured animations for sitting on the benches, waving and that kind of stuff. We'll try to get multiple walking animations to choose from as well but that's actually lot of work. Walking is actually dozens of different animations working together. Some animations have purpose, too. For example you can "greet" people to wave, which will (on some private servers who choose it) allow those people you greet to know your character's name.

MOLESTING? THATS HORRIBLE! il freeze her in carbinite of corse.....

We're all laughing here, but I hope everyone's gotten back their unclaimed PPI from their bank - you could be entitled billions in written-off transactions! For more information, visit: www.totalbollocks.co.uk!

I like the idea of a save haven but i don't think it will be necesary, as we don't expect a massive amount of crime that's related to hijacking and shooting as the dev's said they want equal opportunities so getting weapons will take some work, And our security guards ensure that all of our logistics and passenger services are secure. But thank you all for your feedback, its all very much appreciated

Maybe some sort of mini game or it takes some requirements like money,resources,the actual virus and its would take something like 2 in game months time to cure it.Kinda like when you upgrade or build a building in clash of clans,you need resources and it takes some time afterwards.

Nice story, wish you guys the best of luck and hope to see you Famitano's in the game!

To be honest, i like this, it means no player will just kill a cop for his gear or car, so has no reason to needlessly kill cops.

That's also a cool idea, a bouncer to moderate the flow into the clubs, that's a cool job.

I would love to see player made businesses on billboards around the world. Would be cool to get your name out there.

The devs made it so you cannot steal any police gear at all.

I like the idea that we have to eat or we pass out. Makes you have something to do during the day.

Hopefully the firefighters and the amulances will be at the same location so I have someone to talk to between callouts

I think this will be a nice feature. Characters passing out when sick or not eating/drinking will add much more to realism. Remember, if you are not feeling well - please call 911 and we shall be there as soon as possible.

Sources: Backpacks Hit regions Disabled limbs Broken bones Losing limbs That's all. I think you'd have to go to the hospital to get your wounds patched up if they're as bad as broken bones, backpacks probably won't help if you're getting shot at and we don't even know (as far as I'm aware) if storing items will work like that.

i have heard about them, but haven't looked into them yet. i'm going to now though.

I know a guy, I'll get this done, and someday, and that day may never come, i'll call apon you to do a service for me, but uh, until that day, t this gesture as a gift.

Being a hitman is fully 100% ILLEGAL. Although if someone hires you to do it, you still can, just leave no trace for the police to link it to you.

So many possibilities for bodyguards, and not even just ones for say the Governor, if someone hires you as a bodyguard, you get some of those abilities.

You could control the government, if you had a lot of money to bribe the governor and if he is that kind of guy.

I like the idea of having collectibles, like say a trading card game inside of identity where there would be different rarities of cards that you could get from buying packs in shops and just like real life there was a chance you would get something super rare. If casinos exist then it would be cool to buy a pack and get like a super rare ace of spades or something and actually see it when you lay down the ace in a card game. And you could have sexy cabinets in your house to display your rare cards in.

What about just calling it a Zwet then? "That'll be 10 Zwet please." Kind regards, DJScias

My observation of this is that a lot of people happen to have eerily similar ideas about what Identity is, despite our initially vague explanation of the game. In many of these cases where we appear to agree with people and accept their suggestions, it's because their ideas are things we've already thought of and in many cases, have already implemented or written into Identity's game design document. We want our community to feel that Identity is their game too. We all funded this, together. It's yours as much as it is ours, and if that means eating our own pride to give you credit for an idea that is very similar to our own, it's important to us that you to feel that you've contributed to the project! There have been several ideas from the community that we have been very open minded towards, and want to make sure we include them as long as they compliment existing features and fit neatly into place. But please don't dismiss us as 'yes-men' trying to appeal to everyone at once! We've rejected more than we've accepted! Some ideas sound awesome in theory, but don't work out in practice. Probably the best example of this is the idea of working as an employee of a store owned by other players. That really does sound immersive, but the reality is, there isn't enough work we can give a player to do to keep them entertained in that position. You can only stand around waiting for customers for so long before you want to do something else! Most importantly, knowing that so many people seem to have the same ideas about what they expect to see in Identity, only strengthens our belief that we're on the right track! Now is the right time for a game like Identity!

I hope it never reaches consoles or macs/Linux one because people will go too crazy there and because PC MASTER RACE RULES!!!:D i need a life pls help ;( jk

I can't give a real estimate, although I wish I could. After the holidays we'll re-examine our situation but I'm happy to say that just about every major system for the Town Square is in place in some sort of basic level at least. The best way to judge would be to watch the progress bar move on the Town Square page.
