I couldn't agree more. Being able to purchase things instead of earning them just takes away from every aspect of the game and what it should be about. Heck just sit on your butt and buy it all. Why even play?

Having Micro-Transactions for Clothes,Vehicles and Apartments is going to kill this game. The game was kick started by community and now you guys are returning the favor by putting micro-transactions in it. Specially having the micro-transactions for Vehicles and Apartments it's really bad idea. It would have been fine to have skins for some stuff. But having them for vehicles and apartments is kinda a huge deal and breaks the whole concept. No matter if you guys think that its only cosmetic , Apartments and Vehicles shouldn't be part of Micro-Transactions. Micro-Transactions have killed alot of games, don't let this be an other one. Let the people play the game and earn stuff them selfs, having to pay for stuff like this makes me think of GTA and its current state. So Bob on day 1 can have the best clothes,cars and best apartment . While the rest have to grind their butts off for it. That's a huge unfair advantage. The game at moment it's not out and doesn't have the general public to give feedback on it, no one has even played it, and we don't know much about it. But when it comes out and goes Popular, which i bet it will cause Twitch Channels will consume this game like Candy, there will be big back-lash on the whole Micro-Transactions deal, and if it doesn't get acknowledged many people will just move on and forget about the game (Star Wars,Evolve). Just my 2 cents on the micro-transactions.I understand everyone has different opinions i can respect that, and yes it's a way to support the Devs for sure and their hard work. But that doesn't mean it shouldn't be done right. I bet you if it was as much as only clothes and skins they will still be bought as much.

Hello RPErs, I wanted to bring to light a common issue that people may come across regardless of age while playing role playing games or even video games in general. This issue can impact everyone of us and can have negative effects to our real life. Such effects can range to losing priorities in real life, doing bad in school, performing bad at work, stress, loss interest in socializing with family and or friends in real life, physiological and mental negatives effects. These listed are only but a few negatives effects listed that can occur while we play videos games and or role play for long extensive periods with out breaks. As we embark into role playing and role playing MMOS and video gaming in general we have to understand some negatives affects that these can have on your priorities if you do not manage your time properly. Let me explain: As we "role play" and pretend to be a different person on such platforms that are huge in role playing we often can lose track of who we are in real life. Dont worry i am here to help you understand good practices to keep you focused in real life while having fun in a role playing setting. The following tips can help you keep your real life priorities and goals in order and allow you to have fun resting assure your mom wont yell at you cause you are failing school, or you boss at work is getting ready to fire you or your loved ones aren't getting to see you or issues managing time for your girlfriend or boyfriend. Lets Begin: TIME MANAGEMENT Time management is key for those that are in school and or have a family to look after or even have a job that is time consuming. You must know when to play video games and when you need to stop to get some rest, cook dinner, do laundry etc. These daily life tasks and procedures are whats called your priorities. Remember when your mom told you to clean your room before you played outside or even hopped on your favorite video game? Well, that still applies when you become an adult or even if you are not one yet what your parents are saying is true. You must make sure you have completed your priorities before spending a long period of time on your favorite video game. Time management will allow for you to set schedules on when important priorities need to be completed, you can do the critical important tasks before you start gaming then complete some lesser important tasks after you're finishing your gaming session. Whats important is to remember you are the one to set a schedule and maximize efficiency of your time spent. The goal is to knock out your important tasks for that day before gaming, then finish up tasks that aren't time sensitive after you're done gaming. Have good time management and you'll be on your way to a pound for pound champion!!! Go get em tiger. PRIORITIES Ah, yes priorities. Those tasks you have to do because if you don't you could lose your job, not make rent, lose your girlfriend or even be late on appointments or even just become depressed when you lose track of priorities. Make sure before you have begun planning a good schedule for time management that you are fulfilling your priorities and these could be from a number of things that you have to complete in real life. Only you know what these are or if you are a minor and living with momma and pappa, ask them what are your priorities and listen to what is expected from you by your parents. Once you have established your priorities then you can begin ranking them from most important (must complete) to less important (can complete at will). HEALTH This one is a short one but make sure you are getting adequate sleep .... (4 hours a day is not adequate sleep who you kidding?) make sure you are keep yourself and your environment hygienic so germs do not effect you and get you seek. Make sure you are showering at least once a day (id recommend 2 times a day one in the morning and one at night). Make sure you are playing in a lit room so your eyes dont get damaged (some have more sensitive eyes and over time playing in a dark room can negatively impact your eyes, others however might not be affected, consult your eye doctor. I am no doctor so please make sure you are always consult your doctor about healthy choices not the internet. ) Make sure you are getting from your desk and or area of gaming and stretch those muscles take a little walk, drinks some water. Also, please refrain from eating unhealthy snacks and or sugary drinks as these can cause health problems. A good habit i like to do is eat some carrots and or celery when i game. Or even have some fruits.(fruit juice choose is not recommended as these typically are high in sugar). Make sure you look away from your screen at a distant object to not stra in your eyes. If you feel lightheaded from gaming to long and or feel dizzy stop playing immediately and consult your physician. Lastly stay hydrated! WATER WATER WATER. one good thing about water while gaming its good for your body and while you drink lots of water it forces you to get up with frequent visits to the urinal. Hence making you active and keep your blood flowing. REAL LIFE YOU vs ONLINE ROLE PLAYING YOU Remember at the end of the day no matter if you are a criminal, serial killer, queen, king and or doctor or whatever you imagination takes you at the end of the day those are just fantasies. There is a real you in REAL LIFE that no one can replace. Be sure to remember no matter how good it feels to role play or negative it can get. remember that your virtual life is not a real life representation of who you are so don't be afraid to take risks in role playing, besides it about fantasy and make believe. always remember the real you from the online criminal you! (or whatever you like) CONCLUSION! In no way is there negative effects of playing video games responsibly! (What i mean by this is if you don't spend all day gaming and don't neglect your life goals and or sleep need then you'll be fine). To some degree however there COULD be negative affects from compulsive gaming as i have listed some negative effects in the post. Which i am only scratching the surface as there are more complex problems that go beyond the scope of this post (EX. video game addiction). What i outline in this post is touching bases on video gaming responsibly. The last part about Real life you vs virtual life you is only encouraging you to not take video games serious so you don't get angry at people if they troll you or dont rage because certain things in the game aren't going your way and don't lose who you really are in real life(which i am saying if there is cyber bullying happening remember they don't know who you really are in real life. You are awesome and you should ignore video game bullying. Which video games now days allows us to block people mute people and even report people). Whether it be performance in school or hygiene problems (ex. like playing all night then realizing you have to work in 30 minutes and don't have time to shower. or showering only to find yourself late to work BECAUSE YOU GAMED ALL NIGHT and decided to take a last minute shower.).It is clear that their COULD be some negative implications if we do not set proper time management. Thats all this post is saying. Im not saying video games is bad for you.Im not saying don't play video games i am merely suggesting that because there COULD be some negative effects to compulsive gaming. Video game addiction exists and it is very real. The adult thing is to understand what you need to do to perform great in your personal life without video games impacting you in a negative way. trust me when i tell you i have failed an exam because i was gaming all night even though i studied or i have went in to work late because i am grinding out the last level and i have to work in 30 minutes. Its not that i don't care, it was my error of not managing my time well. That is all this post is saying. here are some sources that inspired this post from credible outlets that you could find interesting. http://www.addictionrecov.org/Addictions/?AID=45 https://www.aap.org/en-us/about-the-aap/aap-press-room/pages/Video-Gaming-Can-Lead-to-Mental-Health-Problems.aspx This link below is an actual academic paper so if you cant understand what its saying then its ok, i had to read it over and over to understand what this paper was saying. https://public.psych.iastate.edu/caa/abstracts/2015-2019/15GA2.pdf trust me you cant understand it if you just read a little it actually takes focus to understand this paper. It highlights some interesting points. Finally i wanna close with the following. No one is saying videos games is bad for you and you shouldn't play it. All i am saying is if you game to much you COULD see some negative affects in your personal life if you are not managing your time well. You cant game 20 hours a day and sleep for 4 hours and expect to have time to hold a job/ shower/ and actually live a healthy life. its just not possible and i wouldnt recommended someone playing that much or even close to that. (Even though we all have had our fair share of all nightes.) This post is just a simple reminder to set your priorities straight as when great games come out we all know how much we wanna no life game them. Thank you if you actually took the time to read this long post.

It would be super cool if you got into jail for example. 2 weeks IRL time, in identity and you made the prison realistic so it would be realistic and it would make people more grateful for their lives so people do not just think, "f*ck it, i will kill him and if i will get caught then im out of jail about 45 minutes"

I have been following this game for a few months now, and I am very exited for its beta release. My one question is if the game trailer and identity insider content that is said to come out this month will be released. Thanks in advance.

Hey there, I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience, but unfortunately there is nothing we can do.

They can maybe get them in as a cosmetic item, but they most certainly won’t function as cameras ingame

It is the way life and gaming has become. No one wants to work or earn things and so the devs cater to this. The cosmetic items are exactly what we work for! To show your friends, hey looked what I earned! It adds value to items other than $$$. I understand that you guys are trying to fund development past release etc... I just wish there was some other way. Completely ruins the point for not only this game but gaming in general.

Unfortunately not, cameras are too much to network and would decrease server performance.

The video I mentioned will be out within a week and the TS video will be released before March 21, which is when the TS launches.

Not from the banks, but you can take it from player's, if they are a loan shark or are making a business out of it but no "Mechanic" in the game for it. A mechanic could possibly be added in the future. @DLimit Yes indeed, I was more specifying to the actual game mechanics and not a player business. Banks are AI controlled and there is no mechanic for them to give out loans.

What will be added?: Every player will be given a social security number which can be check at all times. Employers and banks can look up your history with employment, loans, etc. Employers can see their previous jobs and reason for resignation or removal. Why should this be added?: To allow true punishments to leave jobs constantly and give a realistic feel to the US work industry. It will allow employers to conduct investigations on the person to ensure they will be hiring the best applicant.

Hope you pull threw.(Whatever the reason is you will be in the hospital.)

Thanks for that info. I still though wish motorcycles had just a little bit of storage. So they could have a saddle bags on the bike. That is just me though. If we do have backpacks in game I will not mind no storage in bikes.(As long as you can wear your backpack on a bike.) Oh an if it is the plan to relay on micro-transactions to keep the game going I hope they make sure they enough stuff to sell. I say that because I have seen games close down just because to me it didn't seem there was enough there to buy. (I have seen this happen before. Population is high but the spending is low. An so are the amount of stuff one can buy.) I will say this whatever is done with micro-transactions please, please, please, never put in lootboxes. (I know this has been said before they will not but I still wanted to mention this again.)

Yes I get what you mean and I am not to sure but hopefully the devs have thought about this already as I am sure they have while they have a fix for it. Otherwise just because it is such a good point, I will bring it up in a discussion and see what the solution they will have for it.

i don't mean multiple tickets for a single crime. i'm talking about a ticked for a crime you've been flagged for an i havne't seen you acually commit. normally you could acually never get caught for this crime unless it guess it. so i give you a ticked for speeding and i notice it doesn;t work because you haven't been speeding, so next i try tickeing you for running a red light and as it so happens you ran a red light(which i didn't know) and i can acually ticked you for it. see what i mean?

I think everyone is trying to say is we are ok with the shop page we are helping make the game but when game fully done they should never offer cars/apartments again for real money....they will get lots money from steam sales 40/45 per game sold and they could sell small stuff like clothing for real money too

Yes indeed storage is the advantage on cars over motorcycles. The things you get won't be so great e.g. super cars, the vehicles will be the basic ones.

Microtransactions suck. Not just because it gives you an advantage. The whole point of this game is for me to make money and build up to a better "lifestyle", this includes apartments, cars and clothing. If I do all this grinding to work my way up these things it just sucks if you're able to buy it all with real money instantly. Then there won't be any point putting time and effort in this game. This could really break the game and make it fail. @Motown @Paratus @HairyGrenade

If I am walking down the street with 250 bucks on me and a pistol which costs 200 dollars to buy and I get killed.....The person who killed me will be able to take my cash and my gun. That's 450 bucks that I am ass out of, working a job making 20 bucks an hour that is 22 1/2 hours of work that I have to do just to regain what I lost. 45 minutes in jail? So gun play being a "major part" of the game as is doing the menial tasks it takes to keep the game running by the average player. I hope the time one receives for their crime, such as murder, will make it difficult for said player to continue very long just being an all out prick to those who choose to play the game straight up and earn a living.

No, cars don't explode at all in Real Life and if they do it is super rare! The devs want it to be realistic and so cars will catch on fire but will not explode.

I remember this one time when I was hunting I got so fucked up on shine that me and my buddy were standing there pissing in a creek, I seen a deer across that son of a bitch and took out my bow and shot him and I missed. I fell into the creek and got soaked. My friend was laughing at me and I got pissed because fuck you help me up. He said that we weren’t hunting, I was drunk, it’s mid July and I just fell in my own piss.

I second this emotion.

Dude. I highly doubt people will be ending up with these problems. Absolutely amazing your bringing awareness to it and that you wanna help. But I don’t think it was necessary. And I ain’t hating, I do think it’s good and nice, but 10-11 paragraphs aren’t necessary

The micro transactions right now are meant to be purely cosmetic and only a select few apartments, they aren't meant to give you any advantage, apartments are mainly for storage and customizing the interior, so we feel it's not really a big deal. We dislike micro transactions just like the rest of you.
