What would you prefer, devs to divide their focus on the game to simply tell you they are working on it, but it will most likely delay the project further? Or them to focus primarily on the game, updating us when they see a need to? Remember this is a 9-10 PERSON DEV TEAM, and not like other major developers who have multiple teams working on a game. Furthermore most developers don't even hint a game until it is near completion and has a base release date (like RDR 2 and Spring of 2018). Asylum however mentioned this game when it was in preproduction for the sake of financial support, something most developers never do. I personally believe people should stop treating Asylum like they are one of the million dollar developers, and instead realise that this is a very small and independent development team. We need to be patient as we have been spoiled by the gaming industry, and I dont want another No Man's Sky and Hello Games.

That is highly unlikely, as consoles have become known for the "standard" for gaming quality, where PC has always pushed the community. Consoles will always remain a bit behind PCs for the base fact of the mass consumer market that won't or cannot spend the money on a gaming PC. This is how it has always worked within the market, and it probably won't change because it has worked so well for so long.

Though it would be awesome to drive lisenced vehicles however obtaining lisencing would be very costly and time consuming for Asylum. Major developers like Rockstar and Ubisoft use the loophole of creating parodies of major vehicle manufacturers to avoid lisencing costs. The main reasoning is budgeting and the cost and time it would take with lisenced manufacturers. Asylum would be better off spending their money and time on creating a large amount of unique vehicles rather than trying to get brands like Ford, Dodge, etc. As for music this can be costly and can also hurt their reputation if an artist becomes disgruntled with Asylum's use. The issue here is developers can make a contract with the artist or the producer for the use of music within a game. Rockstar for instance has been known to skip over artists and make deals with producers to avoid paying a large sum to the artist themselves. Many have attempted to sue, however they cannot do anything due to it impeding on the producers contract for usage. Situations like this can cause serious issues for developers with their fan base. Asylum's best and safest route is to look to independent artists for music to avoid producers attempting to get involved, and should stick with parodies of real vehicle brands and styles.

Fair point. Just seemed more like a suggestion/idea to me, but this is a section simply dedicated to crime and criminality, which this does fit into. You are right

Shouldn't this be in the Ideas and Suggestions? This section is for Factions, you may want to check the Ideas And Suggestions section @Jester

If you check the Identity YouTube, I believe they just put up a video regarding clothing recently there. It may even be a recording of the Dev Stream. Unfortunately I havent had the chance to watch it yet, but it may have some answers for you.

Well I imagine to set up a private server will cost money, but I doubt joining one will (unless they are that hardcore that they charge lol). Most private RP servers that I have been a part of only have donation systems, which is up to you if you want to donate. You are right tho, if the OP does want to spend money, I am sure Asylum won't say no lol.

I think what the OP is more looking for with Identity will be the private servers. Asylum has mentioned (though I do not think in detail) about the ability of private servers and that they will be have some ability to adapt their server for a more serious RP. I am not sure if perma-death has been mentioned as an option but I imagine they probably will have some system for perma-death for the private servers. That way your character and the consequences of their actions will carry a heavy weight, but it won't cost you any more money than what you spent on purchasing the game.

If implemented right, I think this would be beneficial for police in APBs on vehicles, but I think if implemented, it should only be in metropolitan areas and possibly major roadways. If used properly, I could also see EMS and FD even using this service for rerouting around congestion for quick response to emergency situations.

I could see a user must own the device to smoke, huff, inject, etc and then you can use the drugs you have. Similar to SAMP in that matter. You get weed and you get papers, then you can smoke and joint.

No hijacking or derialing here bud. Just pointing out how your "great and amazing concept" does not have any place in Identity. The "little information" the developers provided was more than enough information to know Military/Milita aspects are not part of the game. Perhaps instead of trying to blame others, educate yourself and don't make threads proving how little effort, knowledge and understanding you have for the game and community.

Well enjoy standing in line. Pretty sure they have stated there is no military in the game. Have fun.

Great detail! Lots of insightful information regarding your Faction, what it is and how to be part of it. Well done.

This should be relocated to the RP section, as this is a faction recruitment area, and not the sharing of character Stories.

Pretty sure this should be relocated to the RP section of the forum

I do apologize for my input on the matter. I will refrain from further discussion of religion outside of Identity.

What you reference here is still a form or Democide, with a government power attempting genocide of multiple races. Also the Holocaust may not be the best reference to a true and realistic history. Considering the Jewish people have lied about incidents (Jew soap is just one example) and have lied about the numbers of those lost. Not to mention, history is normally written by the winner, and can be completely bias towards the truth of what happened. Religion may have killed millions over history. Democide has killed billions and has caused some of the biggest wars in the history of humanity.

I thought Democide was the ultimate killer

Please Lock And Delete This Thread. Thank You Mods

This idea could be good and bad. The bad has basically been covered above in this discussion, with how it would work against the fun and the ability to RP with friends. It could be good though if hypothetically, if say a Host had multiple servers, and upon death you would start in another one of the servers controlled by the same host of the one you died in. You could bounce around the servers all controlled by the same Host. This could be very interesting because it would make high risk actions more dangerous for those involved, with the ability of death and being removed for the server. With that being said, players wouldn't ultimately loss friends, because they would still be in the same group of servers, and eventually they would be in the same server again.

You should add an "all of the above" option, as I believe most want options like these for jobs/careers.

If they bring in mopeds, you could utilize for your rental business as well. You may want to hire a crew too, just in case a customer tries to off with a bike.

This sounds unnecessary and ultimately a system that will force this game to only become playable to a select group of consumer, which defeats the base of which they have built this game on. They have stated multiple times that this will not be Play-To-Win, and with the history of P2W games, it is a wise choice.

Trackers, Scramblers, Classics, Modern Classics, Cafe Racers, Bobbers, Brats, Bob-Brats, Baggers, Choppers, Street Fighters, Trikes, Crotch Rockets, Etc. Even just a base of each that we can build and customize to our liking. Custom Bars, Blocks, Tanks, Frames, Fairings, Wheels, Exhausts, etc, would be amazing to have, or even for us to try and manufacture in game ourselves.

Normally governments legalise narcotics to force it out of the underground, making it very difficult to make a good profit off of illegal sales and distribution. Profits can still be made, however due to government involvement, it becomes more difficult to remain in control of the market, meaning price and demand may fluctuate in a massive way (again due to the government involvement). Forcing anything out of the underground market is both good and bad, as it could cause the underground to move away from a product. However this also could cause some in the underground to try and manipulate the narcotic scene, normally through tainting or creating bad batches. I am not sure how realistic the underground will be in Identity, but I hope realism is very important.
