make spawn decon kit an option

[Metro Boomin 245]

Please make it an option to not spawn with the dumb fkn decon kit holy hell how is it still like this. Why would it not just be a Y menu first aid anyway?? I know complaining about olympus QoL changes is cringe but it's not like there is meaningful content/change to look forward to anymore..

No shade to you, you actually care unlike 90% of staff, but the most potentially game changing addition "recently" IMO was scrap and it turned out to be so clunky and overall just not worth the effort. The "new" rebel events like the vic yard and evidence locker might as well be deleted because it's just once again, not worth the effort, might as well do the SAME fed the SAME way for the 1000th time. Let's not forget about the new APD event!! Oh... it's just an escort. Cartels are just afk simulators because of the cancer ass cap time (should be like a conq flag IMO). Runs aren't worth because of the absurd money that 2 rounds of conq outputs, not to mention how BORING and un-interactive they are. Scatting is effectively dead because of the huge vigi groups that form/ the instant use of martial law/armor ghawk spam at the sight of any rebel presence, or the cops just refuse to come anywhere near cities because they are bottle fed losers that can't handle losing a kit every now and then to a taser.

Spawning with Y menu first aid would be a god send though

Also I actually really do hear you when you talk about the event stuff. I'd say the high majority of our staff do actually care. I think the larger issue is that a lot of the players we had in the RT process either did not care themselves or did not have enough creativity to come up with new and cool ideas. I think our entire SQF team is about this close to jumping off a cliff if we have to make one more stupid escort related event haha. I know @ Millennium  has really been on the same page with that and hopefully now that he has the rains again; a lot of that will improve for the better

We just patiently wait for good/cool ideas that never come...

Sooo, what you're telling me is not to expect a prisoner escort event?

Someone enlighten me on why decon kits are stupid? Genuinely curious, considering this is the first time I've heard someone complain about it.

Generally if a QOL idea gets pitched, we do look into potentially implementing it. If there is a specific reason that we can't implement it, we will always be transparent about it.

Takes up too much inventory space for scatting/naked gameplay

When you buy a protector when you spawn in you cant fit mags. Most people naturally forget about the stupid decon kit and it fucks you over when you need a quick rdm kill or two.

If you got ideas feel free to pitch them to me or some other civ council member. I'll give you feedback on it and if it's well thought out and can potentially help something in some way or bring entertainment I'm not opposed to pushing the idea. I agree with you on most things, runs are boring as fuc & death traps, cartels are boring as fuck and dead, etc.

You do mention cartels being like conquest flags (quick cap) but that creates an issue of if people want to sell then they won't be able to. People will go to cap a cartel to not to lose the 15% tax, may get into fights or not there, and then will go and sell but if it caps that quickly there is no way for them to even possibly sell.

 

Although you did call me an APD fag the other day ^_^

Silton and Lucien nailed it, it's just super annoying to remember to drop it. It takes up pretty much all the space in 90% of spawn clothes, as a rook/protector enjoyer it is very inconvenient.  I guess it was introduced before Y menu FAKs because I can't imagine that the decon would be the choice over Y FAKs. ALSO while I have some attention, is there anyway to fix advanced rebel GPS/Rangefinder not spawning with you when you load in after dying. For example, when im already alive and respawn, it works as intended. But if you are playing as normal and you die, and just log off without respawning, when you load back in and select a spawn, you will NOT spawn with the gps and rangefinder. Ik that is a very niche and probably not important "bug", but it fucks me up so many times because i'd say 80% of my logouts are post death, i imagine that a good chunk of logouts in general are post death as well. @ Milo

I put my GPS and rangefinder in my kit, because iirc the cost at rebel is deducted from what is already in your inventory, though it used to not be like that. If you die without your kit theres no reason to have needed it anyway

like the vic yard

vehicle yard is fun man why does everyone hate on the events that smaller groups are actually capable of doing???? same with the art gallery, people shit on that but it’s the only thing a solo is gonna be able to do event wise other than a pharma. 

 

banks used to be realistic with small groups of 3-4 people now with the average amount of cops online daily that shit is not possible.

I understand that, but after paying 5mil for the OPTION to buy UNSTACKABLE t4s while not ever being able to really rob legal runs as an ADVANCED REBEL?...(which seems super contradictive to me) I just want the QoL things to work as intended yk.

If it was so fun people would do it, i've done it a couple times. It's just the same event copy pasted, start timer, shoot cops, leave.

people definitely do it though, I would estimate a large percent of the supply for unique smoke vehicles on the auction house comes from vehicle yard (I’d be willing to bet money that atleast 60-75% of the orca smokes existing are from vehicle yard alone)

Some people like to do it just to fight cops also which it’s good for because of it’s proximity to neo APD, that’s why neo bank used to be so fun too. 

 

I’ll be real tho, when you’ve been doing end game shit for the longest time ever the little stuff like vehicle yard isn’t really intended for players like such.

I'd wager that 90% of rare vics come from airdrops nowadays. But im just saying that literally no one does it, I bet there are some statistics that back me up too, it's just not popular.
