Conflict Main Character Lock

[Dr. Hax]

I genuinely think it’s fair to implement a character lock on PD alts when your main character is actively involved in a conflict.

At the very least, locking PD alts during active conflict should be a no-brainer. We’ve all seen it: as soon as something heats up against one side, suddenly 10 PD alts fly in and swarm the situation. Let’s not pretend this isn’t happening please.

For full transparency—I do have a PD alt, but I’ve barely touched it aside from doing supervisory duties for activity reasons. I get that PD is active right now and there’s a lot going on, but there are absolutely situations where the involvement starts to feel biased.

Perhaps only a cool down after taking damage on your main during a conflict that is longer than the usual damage cooldown. 

(10 ish minutes?)

Locking cops to main chars would make the city an rdm fest half the cops in those images aren’t even affiliated with factions

Maybe don't lock cops to their crim chars but I get that having 25 cops on during a conflict is annoying asf. 

 

Personally, I think if cops lack the common sense to walk right into the middle of a known conflict area where there's shootouts, there shouldn't be any punishment or RDM claims if people mow down cops too to avoid any of their guys getting arrested, especially since if you get arrested and put in pen faction you can't get rewhitelisted to your crim character to get back into the conflict after leaving jail.

Mad that you edited it after i called out that the cops Like Riggs and Burns where unbiased another shitty suggestion

Honestly you're super retarded for a guy named MrlogicNova so I'm gonna give you this one post.

RDM is a staff concern, not a policing issue. Also this could be argued in different ways but you chose to be stupid about it so I'll leave it at that.

I agree. They literally camp known conflict areas and then immediately @ when they got mowed down after a situation has escalated. There should absolutely be some leniency for that.

martin rgigs is a  interesting case cause he was lucchese made. Burns is just unbiased but he never really goes outside of pd

 

i think there should be a cap on cops like maybe 10 and inactivity kick the ones that just sit in pd all day. With 10 cops you still gotta watch out for what your doing but like you can still do stuff without being raided by 40% of the server if you shoot one bullet

Anyone complaining about this idea is a fucking spastic.

Locks to PD during conflict would be a good idea but:

Why are you not calling staff if this is happening so often? 

If you're suggesting that people are essentially hopping on their PD chars to interrupt escalation then it's metagame which is a staff issue.

Because some staff let it happen and most likely are encouraging it.

Then make a UA ticket?

Oh no! The cops arnt sitting out and being excluded from a massive conflict! 
 

the cops being on is not an issue if there’s any targeting or metagame it gets dealt with. Lot of people expect cops to disappear in a war but that’s just dumb

 I am actually compiling a few clips on a certain staff member that I believe has been biased. Report will be made when it is said and done. I also second you and encourage others to document and record all interactions during a conflict whether it’s staff or PD, and make appropriate reports.

Hey guys if a staff member looks into the times ! Also maybe check into what their main is set as !

I would love to be able to prove a cop is meta gaming but I dont know which cops are alts? How can I prove that? If I make a staff ticket with no proof of metagame and just say I believe this cop is metagaming is that okay?

My best guess is to first @ and ask staff to look into if X cop has a main char in a conflict faction. In that case you can provide clips or whatever situation they were involved in so staff can check at that time if he swapped chars and went to the situation etc.
