I mean I'm probably reaching but it would be nice to have an engagement tab in the player menu. One button for text engagement to another player/gang where you make a pre-existing copy/paste of whatever engagement you normally text. The only thing it couldn't cover is verbal engagement so idk about that. But a list of what gangs/players you're engaged with based on that feature would be nice, but also pretty non-important just an ease of access thing. I think what @MAV is probably worried about is that lets say this feature exists and your gang is engaged with another, then towards the end of the engagement someone in your gang is verbally engaged by the other. Now you're re-engaged but the feature would say that it's expired, causing confusion, and unnecessary reports. In other words, a good idea but pretty impossible to implement with the server's engagement rules.

The main point of Altis Life (in a general opinion) is to gain influence and renown. The methods of doing so on civilian are : - Fighting Cartels - Runs - Public events with your gang (Fed, Blackwater, Jailbreak) - Gang Wars The more your gang participates in high risk high reward activities, the more influence and renown your gang gains. Unfortunately these activities are low in interaction and high in action. If you want more RP then you need to change your mindset of "money and power" Try more intricate activities such as hostage situations, coming up with an alternate persona to fuck around with (Homeless Hank, The village drunk), races, or setting up organized conflicts like ambushing a police station. RP comes from interaction between players, if you want RP there has to be interaction. Good RP comes from unexpected situations and genuine reactions.

I agree, there are a few milsims coming out that might inspire Bohemia to do something. Squad of course. I've recently gotten my hands on a very early access version of the game TitanIM, I only have access to it because one of my buddies got his hands on it and he shared with me, if you check their website they won't give out versions unless you're a "selected project" (aka Youtuber, game reviewer, etc) but I recommend checking it out it looks pretty promising. http://titanim.net/www/ (hmu if you want to try it)

Okay well that's a completely different topic The goal is to give Vigilantes a fair chance in fighting against Rebels.

*TRIGGERED* "Join the APD if you want an MXC" *TRIGGERED* The point of playing Vigilante is being a fucking Vigilante, not a cop. If you join the APD you're not a Vigilante you're a cop, I see this argument every time this topic comes up and it's just ridiculous that people can't comprehend the point of "Vigilantes are under powered, maybe we should give them a fair opportunity to win a fight?" the point is to change Vigilante, not become a cop, that argument is just a straight up invalid response. This is copypasta from an earlier thread, but I'm sure you didn't read through it based on what you just said. You're not even making sense at this point, you are forced to be a cop if you want a fair fight against a Rebe.l

I'm not saying it's hard to be a cop, i'm saying you shouldn't be forced to be a cop, roleplay is meant to be flexible and unconfined. I shouldn't be forced to choose between Cop or Rebel in order to have any effect on the server.

"Aren't meant to have a fair fight" What is the point of having a Vigilante if they're almost sure to fail? I can't really argue with your opinion of "Just be a cop its easier" that won't get us anywhere, if you really want the server to just be a Cop vs. Rebel with Civilians caught in the crossfire kind of deal that's entirely your preference and I can respect that. But for some of us that actually want a role other than Cop/Rebel, it's pretty frustrating to have the only alternative role being a very under powered Vigilante. Since I used to know you personally I'd like to bring up the fact that you're a Rebel, who plays Vigilante just to piss other people off for the most part, while I can credit you with the fact that it's fun to turn in 4mil bounties (rip chrisgg), I also want to say that some of us want the Vigilante to be an actual role rather then an activity.

The Vigilante role is for people who don't want to be a cop, this is a discussion for pros/cons and balance issues with buffing Vigilante, the debate of "It's easier to be a cop just do that" is not even a valid argument in this topic. 1. Do Corporals have to pay for all of the gear that a Vigi does? 2. That won't help anything, Vigi groups will just keep a Tier 1 Vigi around to turn in smaller bounties for them. 3. Cops have tons more regulations, responsibilities, and privilege. There is no point in white-listing a bounty hunter, most of them are in it to fight rebels, make money, and keep Rebels from terrorizing cities, Cops are meant to protect citizens and uphold justice.

One more thing I might add is the penalty for buying a Vigilante license while you have a Rebel license, I think there should be an up-charge of around $150,000 to keep Rebels from purchasing MXC's for cheap.

So what you want is for Vigi's to stay the way they are now? just running around Kavala catching rebels off guard, turning in fresh spawn rebels, and taking 40k bounties because they can't get any bigger bounties? *TRIGGERED* "Join the APD if you want an MX" *TRIGGERED* The point of playing Vigilante is being a fucking Vigilante, not a cop. If you join the APD you're not a Vigilante you're a cop, I see this argument every time this topic comes up and it's just ridiculous that people can't comprehend the point of "Vigilantes are under powered, maybe we should give them a fair opportunity to win a fight?" the point is to change Vigilante, not become a cop, that argument is just a straight up invalid response. Maybe a few reasons as to why Vigilantes are so frowned upon is because it's relatively easy to play, it can be expensive but most people who start out can make enough money to afford Vigilante gear, my first month on Olympus was a back and forth between playing Vigilante and losing all of my money, then farming it all back and then rinse and repeat. This creates an environment of Vigilantes that just go around making whatever money they can, and that includes abusing their Vigilante license, and committing other acts of greed like i stated above. Nothing's going to change with Vigilantes until one of the Developers really decides to sit down and give it some attention, (not dissing on the Developers they're gr8 m8), but until they decide to recognize that Vigilante is overall hurting the server, i'm going to continue to argue that making the Vigilante role an actual viable option would improve RP, cut back on the influence of Rebels, and give an alternative to people who don't want to be in the APD, but still want to be a figure of justice.

Am I on Reddit???????????

I think I started playing too late to have enjoyed the RP, now everything is a cock measuring contest between rival gangs. The best RP moments that I have had were mainly stealing people and bringing them to a shack, then bringing them back to the Kavala Square limping, bloody, and naked.

Do you have xfinity? If so I used to have an issue with their shitty modem/router all-in-one device, my ping would spike randomly in CS:GO and other games, only fix is to use an Ethernet cable, or buy your own router and modem, once I got my own modem and router the WiFi worked smoothly, but a wired connection is better 99% of the time, so good luck mate.

Singleplayer - The Elder Scrolls III : Morrowind Multiplayer - World of Tanks (I still play to this day lol)

He'll probably just change the time and date that they do it, it would be pretty dangerous posting what time and place you're doing something that produces that much revenue.

Yeah I can understand where you're coming from, I just wish that Vigilante wasn't so basic and underpowered. I personally believe that it would bring a lot more diversity to the server if Vigilante was more of a role than a nuisance. I can see your point that we should leave the Rebels to the cops but that obviously isnt working very well, like I said earlier, Rebels rule the server.

I don't think this will top any other time that I will be robbed in Altis Life. Talked to this guy for like 2 hours and I thought we were good friends. Anyone else have some interesting tales of being robbed??? 2.7 mil lost by the way.

moar

I play a lot of Vigilante and it's very frustrating to have a 1-3 mil bounty walk by you and not bat an eye, as a Vigilante with your 9mm pea-shooter you're limited to taking bounty's from gang members who re-spawned at the wrong time and place, and lower end bounty's which are mostly just people scatting with Protectors. The only time you pose a real threat to the higher bounty players is when there's 3+ Vigilantes working together, and if that happens to be the case high gear Rebels will legitimately engage you just because you're a Vigilante, and since they usually have 2-4 people in their own Rebel gear it's damn near impossible to win a fight, GA rigs absorb a disgusting amount of 9mm. I think a good solution would be to have an upgraded Vigilante just like there's a Firearm's license that you can upgrade to a W.P.L. Let's say they up the Vigilante license price to 80k, then made it so that if you possess a Rebel license when purchasing a Vigilante license there's an up-charge of 50k. Then to upgrade your Vigilante license you pay an additional 100k, but you have access to purchasing higher end gear, such as head protection, upgraded primary weapons, maybe even a GA rig. All these items should be expensive though, it would create a LOT of trouble for Rebels especially, and there would be an outright war between Vigilantes and Rebels. But i'm going to end my post with the conclusion that Vigilante's are ass right now, even the good ones, and something needs to be changed, whether that should be getting rid of some of the high end gear Rebels have access to, or buffing up some of the countermeasures to gang violence and Rebels. Rebels and gangs rule the servers right now (looking at you Moob) and it's like you're being forced to be in a gang/be a Rebel. If you try to be anything else but a rich ass gang member you get beat in every conflict, and it kind of takes away from the role-playing aspect of Altis life.
