My top 5 biggest annoyances in any multilayer role play game. The Russian - people who do a bad Russian accent to seem more menacing. The mute - people who have no mic in 2017, but there character 'has no voice anyway' so it's alright. (How many people have you EVER met that are mute) The mass murderer / hardened military person - the guy who goes round killing everyone, then tries to role play it out, because they think it's fun to ruin everyone else's experience. These people are always dripping in camo clothing and have had world class gun training (how realistic). The drug dealer - fair enough, these role play games are generally based around drug smuggling and making money illigally (I think identity is no exception) but this character is always VERY overplayed. I've never, EVER met a drug dealer IRL, but hey, maybe I live on the nice side of town? God mode - the players who turn every situation around (using role play, usually text chat) to benefit their own character. These people never seem to die or get injured because they always have a trick up there sleeve like "picks lock and escapes unharmed". Personally, if the interaction is fun / funny / interesting, and I end up dieing to good role play, it's more fun than surviving through shoddy workarounds. On the whole, these games or servers are normally ruined by people with a lack of imagination. Poor imagination is ok! But using poor role play on top of that becomes very frustrating for other people. That's why I like role play on Twitch, it's not that server rules protect from bad experiences, it's that the level of quality role play is much higher because there is an audience. I'm not salty, im just bored of seeing huge potential ruined by unrealistic encounters and interactions. Discuss?

Haha well I guess we're from completely different areas then lol. Fair enough, they might deal a little here and there. But they aren't farming it, picking it, and distributing thousands of pounds worth lol. It's been done to death, that's all I'm saying

Probably already been posted, got this in an email today from the Dev team. Enjoohooyyyyy

My name is Jake the Lender... I grew up in this town, not as you know it. With your big houses, fancy cars and overpriced clothes that you wear once and forget about. I know a side to these streets that you've never taken the time to notice. Look behind that trash can, or open the lid... to my world. Occasionally this life can chew a man up, swallow him whole and spit him out without a care in the world. That's where i come in. Some people call it 'taking advantage', i call it 'seizing an opportunity'. I give people hope, somewhere to eat, sleep... somewhere dry. I bring these people in off the streets. I have a small settlement of willing subjects, camped out under a bridge in the darkest pits of town. If you made it this far, you came for a reason... our services?

Jake sends one of his men to the location. He'd never touch incriminating evidence himself, if something were to go wrong, it would be really bad for business. Instead, he sends Mick. Mick was a notorious car thief years ago until Jake took him in. His past could prove useful here. Armed with just a pair of gloves and a screwdriver, Mick successfully picks up, hotwires and drops the car right outside the local police station with a huge note on the widscreen reading "JUSTICE". Written using some lipstick he found in the glove box. Jake texts Ryver - "It's done".

I have a feeling we will be working closely in the coming months.

"Consider it done, give me the location of the car and I'll have it brought to the polices attention anonymously". "At what price?" Ryver asked, pleasantly surprised... "Dinner.... on me, and bring a cup of that expensive coffee that I've seen you drinking for each one of my men, they need something to get them going on these cold, early mornings." Ryver paused and tilted her head slightly, raised one eyebrow and gave but a suggestion of a smile... Again she looked pleasantly surprised with Jakes request. She had seen him most mornings on that same corner, as if he was waiting for her to pass by, just to get a glimpse. She hadn't noticed it before, but now it started to make sense.

"May I have one?" Ryver gives Jake a cigarette. "It really depends if you need me or my men. Obviously my time is invaluable. I have a place to run. More than just a few hours away from this place could ruin everything I've been working for. Let's stop beating around the bush, tell me exactly what you need and I'll give you a price." Ryver looks nervous. She knows Jake isn't going to like what he's about to hear.

"What do you need? I don't mean to be forward, but you know my services come at a price". Jake offers her a seat near a fire - "Don't sit too close, I dont want that nice suit smelling of smoke... tell me what's going on then".

Jake opens the gate and asks the lady if she's lost... she seems lost. The lady explained that she's had a change of heart today and that she'd like to come in and talk. As always, Jake welcomes newcomers with open arms. He invites her through the gate.

Jake noticed the expensive car drive past, the lady driving looked physically stressed and drained. Her mind looked occupied with modern life, Jake tilts his hat in acknowledgement and understanding. The lady nods and passes.

Hi Bodhi Preston, I'm happy to have a meeting with you in order to work out better living facilities for my men. Although you must understand, this is how I make my living. Nothing in this life is free, people must work for a good life these days. I'm sure you can appreciate my my concern. If you let me know what you have in mind, maybe I can offer my services in return.

This is information ive thrown together in the last hour or so by watching some interviews with the developers. There may be some spelling and format mistakes but everything discussed was sourced directly from the developers mouths. Hope you like it Cars - ‘very, very detailed mechanics’. - Currently, mainly working on social development so cars aren’t such a focus but test vehicles are functional. - Very realistic car physics, aiming for absolute realism. - Inside vehicles you can control turn signals, put on seatbelts, roll windows down, radio. Everything intractable as you’d expect in a real car. - Some vehicles have manual transmission. - Kidnapping – there is a trunk inventory but theres is no way to put someone inside a trunk yet. - You can restrain people and put them in your car/van, not trunk yet. - There are differences between 4x4 and 2 wheel drive, which are physically accurate. - The 4x4 cars can be manually switched to 2 wheel drive. - Different types of tyres have different traction depending on terrain -Snow / mud / grass - Crashing – depends on severity you will have to change your wheels on the side of the road or get the car towed if the engine is broke. - Spare tyres come with new cars. - There are repair garages in most towns - You will have to pay to get cars fixed. Will there be parking? - You can park your cars in private or public garages. - If you don’t use proper spaces in the street your car can get towed autonomously or by other players. - You must have a driver’s licence you must have before you can drive. RDM – stress system - If you’re being robbed at gunpoint randomly, you are not instantly vulnerable. A gunshot will not hurt much. Depending on your actions after…. Your stress level will rise and you will become vulnerable Surrender- stress levels will drop but your cash can be taken. Running - rises stress and you become vulnerable, you can get shot and killed. - If you go unconscious you can be revived within a time frame, your cash is lootable. - If you die, people can loot your weapons. - Clothing cannot be looted from players. Police, Fire and EMS recruitment - Official servers – you will have to do a short test to get into the department. Cops can’t have big criminal records - There will be an automated test - Private servers can pick who’s most qualified. Fire department – You will have to sign in at the hall have access to all gear and vehicles. You will then be called out to fires. If you crash your car into a tree can catch on fire. House fires can start randomly on NPC buildings. Prison is like a game in its self Jail –You go to jail for smaller crimes like petty theft or speeding tickets for a few minutes. Prison – Participating in another level of gameplay where you can join gangs, fight for territory or hang out in the rek room and chat to people. Wrongly arrested – lawyers can argue in front of a jury on your behalf. Animals You can have dogs and cats inside your house as pets. In the future, they want to allow animals to follow you, walk your dog / hunting with you. There are bears, deer and critters for hunting. You can then use leather and other resources to craft items. Clothing - Clothing does not currently get dirty but it would be something to look at. - There are recipes like blueprints for clothing. ‘Cuts’ determine the shape. - You can control patterns and colours. - Millions of combinations. - You can open a store and sell all your clothing. Drug lab / meth RV. A civilian RV vehicle can be converted into a drugs lab once you have found a location that is safe. Once you park the RV, you can deploy the meth lab. You will not be able to move the vehicle. Can you live completely off the radar? Yes you can live entirely off the land. You will have to find storage, chop trees, find shelter, gather water, and hunt animals. You do not need to enter a city or town in order to survive. Malls / social gathering places / safe zones are protected with metal detectors that will confiscate weapons. Cellphones can capture photos. Character customisation. - Head options are more than just a base face configuration. Different races have different head shapes and body features. From that pint you can manipulate the base face. Then you can edit complexion / eyes etc… - Tattoos are found In game, not in character customisation. Shanking people in prison will unlock relevant tattoos etc… - Makeup can be changed quite easily at any time. - There are hair physics on long hair and clothing with wind and movement. I hope at least one person gets something from this. Please leave comments and feedback. Cheers x
