New warrant check

[ThePeak]

Suggestion Title: New warrant check
Suggestion Description: Add a new warrant check, which you unlock by getting your org to level 45. When you use this new warrant check, it checks whether you have a warrant or not. If you don’t have a warrant and one is set within 15 minutes after the dealer checks you, he will send you a new message saying a new one has been set. You would have to pay between 1-2k.

Why should this be added?:
Stop people from going back to public places after killing someone. There is one situation where I’ve killed someone, hid the body, waited 10-15 minutes after leaving it, warrant checked, and there wasn’t one. Then, another 10 minutes later, I get called saying I’m warranted, and I handed myself in. If my mate hadn’t been a cop and hadn’t called me, this could have turned into a big shootout, even though I took the right steps, the delay in setting the warrant caused the issue and with this new suggestion, I would have known to avoid public areas and poilce.

There was also a situation a few days ago where a few mates and I raided and I killed a few cops. After moving all the guns and drugs to my mates base, I assumed I was going to get warranted, so I planted and dried some coca After my weed finished growing, I warrant checked and it said I didn’t have one. I went back to the bazaar, and two minutes later I get gun pointed and arrested because someone set the warrant one minute after.

What negatives could this have?:
- Dev time?

What problem would this suggestion solve?: This would help stop shootouts that could have been avoided with a very simple warrant check update.

Or you know when you kill someone don't go into public if its an issue. maybe burn the body or throw it into the water no?

So if I kill someone, I have to hide until I die or get arrested? That sounds like fun. What I’m suggesting would just make it easier to find out whether you’re warranted or not, causing fewer shootouts at the bazaar and other public locations due to people warrant checking while sergeants take 20 minutes to set warrants.

Well maybe wait for 10 mins before you do the warrent check or even do multiple checks. takes 30 seconds to send in another request to check.

As I said in my examples, there have been many times where I’ve waited 15+ minutes and then warrant checked, only for it to say I wasn’t warranted, just to get gun pointed and arrested because the warrant was set two minutes later. How many times would I have to warrant check before it’s actually safe to go back into public? Do I wait 20 minutes and check, then 25 minutes and check again?

I dont think you can molotov apartments after raiding them mate

For real, if more people used molotovs there would be less needless shootouts and it would enhance the fire fighters rp. Pretty much a win win scenario

Well obviously you can't, but if you kill one person and hide the body, why do that effort, just moli it and move on. If you are raiding, then its obvious your gonna get warranted.

The rules around molotovs are very stringent and can lead to honest uses leading to accidents which then the admins accuse the player of deliberately ruining others experiences and this then resulting in bans.

I see no issue with this suggestion, the warrant checker could simply update you every 5 minutes 4 times up to 20 minutes in total from after you've paid to make sure all bases are covered. It shouldn't be too hard to code..

i think it should be very easy to make it so that props burned by molotovs go into your storage it'd fix the molotov ban problem

Mr molotov professional, props burnt by Molotov’s DO go into storage smartass, it’s not the burning of the things that gets you banned it’s the molotoving things without a valid reason and than pain of having to re setup what was burnt down

 

[Brian "Genuine" Hero]

yea its so painful to replace the generic barricade every zerger places everyday
going with that logic bomb raids ruin your builds even more cuz u can barely move after and u gotta pick everything back up

getting mugged or your org members getting killed isnt a good enough reason to molotov someone even tho its the only thing you can do as an act of revenge cuz most of the time zergers sit in their base for 2 hours growing or cooking coke after their mugging trips
and also change their cars or simply despawn them so why dont remove molotovs from the game? you just reinforced my point of them being a ban bait item

 

[Steve Phromkraft]

Guys can we please stay on topic, Mr Peak has given a great idea and its being overshadowed. I do agree that the current dna/warrant system does get a bit confusing, and does lead to unneeded shootouts. Maybe a good alternative would be like a little side pop up for cpl+ (They can set wanted for questioning and ask for it to be upgraded) that states "DNA uploaded" because a lot of the times medics take dna and don't say anything over radio leading to old dna being warranted?

and ik its not a valid enough reason bc i got warned for it in the past

tldr, i feel like the suggestion is very useful. This is because on low pop when no CPLs or SGTs are on, the DNA just lingers around. The warrant can legit be uploaded hours later since there are barrely any incidents around that time and therefor making the warrant check utterly useless
