They said drug enforcement, not DEA.. we just typically tie the two together since they're usually along the same mindset. When you mention a narcotics raid, i don't think PD, I think DEA is involved lol

I'm not opposed to heading it up with someone too if needed, @Lil_Fish

I know however most fed agencies interact with the PD. SWAT will aid DEA/ATF with raids etc. It'll be definitely interesting to see how far we can take it.

All in the same you'd think. They're all going to be a law enforcement umbrella I'd think

I read somewhere before about Drug Enforcement and Detectives.. not an IA thing but you're not alone on that. I did see it

You do know I also plan on having my own server which means I'll be commanding my own setup too right? Definitely be unbiased and cop on others since I'm obviously full 100% set of being cop come go live.

@Kracken Now you know I gotta be IA or SWAT or DEA man

I wouldn't say simply yes it will, or it will not. It can honestly go either way as I've seen it happen in the past.

I had posted my introduction a while back on the original forum but well... obviously we're not there anymore. I come from a family that has DHS, Baltimore City, Atlanta PD and Miami Dade PD history as well as multiple military branches so of course, I'm going to go the law enforcement route here. My name is Justin and I am probably among the older bunch of players here. I look forward to working with some other devoted law enforcement players and also hosting a server with some people once beta goes live and we're able to purchase.

I doubt they'll raise the prices after the release honestly. They haven't done much but remove the highest ones since Kickstarter

If you've never used, you're missing out.

But James... it says 0.84 seconds, not 0.30 Kappa

You can purchase w/o creating a paypal, just do it with the "Pay with Debit or Credit Card" option

Take Battlefield Hardline.. Didn't have such great a response after alpha, or closed beta yet people still played. Once it went live, it became the quickest Battlefield to die basically.

In regards to the hierarchy of the law enforcement tree if not all emergency services? Since I plan to invest in a server myself, I want to know what all control I would have over those aspects for starters. Also wouldn't mind some input from other potential server admins on what level of control they'd also like to have.

I'm meaning more towards server control not so much control of the in game features. Notic3 covered what I was thinking with his reply there.

Which is honestly exactly how it should be. SWAT isn't a normal every day job technically - more so an as per situation necessity. I'm not sure how the whole SWAT thing is in real life as I've not personally been in law enforcement and my grandfather who had experience in it just passed on Monday, so I couldn't find out even if I wanted to, but the purpose of this is as real as possible so lets say it's safe to assume it's the same as we're saying here.

Could not have worded it any better myself.

That, and having produced applications programs and games previously, I know what it takes to develop quality as opposed to short lived products. You can't rush success and people who try, don't really need to be a part of the success.

Definitely. I'm not sure why people are so upset over having to wait for a game of all new levels on so many aspects. When you contributed on kickstarter, or even now, you got "beta" access which comes after the alpha stage which is seemingly going to be limited to staff and maybe select few others.

Never rule it out. The fact that there's such a large amount of potential to this game, there is likely going to be a group that will eventually be super test users at some point for updates. Just about every game out there has some Public Test or Test servers new builds, new features and/or new content. Either way, we can wait for them to confirm and/or deny but I'm not truly worried as I'm paid for a spot in beta and I'll patiently wait for the chance to play.

It would be cool for some users to be considered [Super test] users to help in a stress test but again, that comes after an alpha and beta build has been established. I'm not sure the incomplete map and not all modules being included really clicked to some as it would give a big false/positive on stress test results.

We talked about this on the original forum with what all capabilities you'll have as far as mechanic. Potentially owning a tuning shop to do customization to vehicles or just repairing and tune ups etc.

@Motown could you move to an appropriate forum section? I accidentally posted in the wrong section. Maybe Town Square?
