DECORATIONS
I think you guys should add some decorations to bring the city to life. I know that there was complaints about the 4th of July decorations were causing lag. But i think if you could find a middle ground with the decorations it would really give some life to the city.
Queue points for time in queue
Hi All, Seen a huge uptick in people coming in, success of the server and of course increased queue. There is always a balance to be had with max players, resources, prio for server upkeep and people being happy and able to participate. Tony mentioned a points for time in queue system, and I would love to see this implemented. Would also like to see if save those points for when someone is disconnected before joining, or FiveM crashes etc. A 1-3 hour wait only to have it crash and start again is challenging to swallow for most, without being a little frustrated. I think this would help EMS and PD get in who don’t have prio as well, as we have seen a decent decline due to this issue for them too. Anyway, appreciate the consideration as always! This will help a lot of people to feel a lot happier about waiting.
Prio
it would be great to have a 5 minute window for you to get PRIO so you don’t have to wait in queue if your game crashes or some bug makes you need to Relog only make it active for 5 minutes and only make it enough to get through the queue so you don’t have to wait in 40-60 player queue if your game crashes or you have to relog this would not be Permanent just for 5-3 minutes for the player to load back in and if they don’t load back within that time frame they have to wait in the queue
Chapters
I think it would be really cool to earn xp for things like moonshine lockpicking cars and growing drugs, i feel like there are some of those things that should earn xp
Crime Rebalance
I feel like crime needs to be looked into, currently the system incentivises house robberies. The money you can make is so lucrative with essentially 0 risk that most people just won’t bother with the risk of going to jail and being set back. Compared to banks, where you have to complete three chases to get your money (container, bank truck, bank) if you spend that time just doing houses you end up with way more. The only thing that competes with houses is Vangelico which is why it’s always being hit. There’s 0 upfront cost for a decent reward unlike other avenues of crime that require equipment that’s hard to come by (thermal charges, drills, red usb key). If you don’t believe me, just watch Pawn Shop as soon as there are 3 cops in the city. Within 30 minutes you’ll have at least 25 people selling shit non-stop.
Needs to have more jobs for crims
lots of times there are not any cops in the server or they join and leave within 30 minutes, crims have barely any alternative options for crimes without cops. I’ve been so bored and have had nothing do to recently as a criminal because there isn’t any cops so please either hire more pd, add more criminal jobs that don’t require pd, or lower limits on how many cops need to be in city for some criminal actions
Vehicle removal on DC
Hi there! I have seen a LOT of people talking about their car disappearing when they DC/crash etc. I put in a ticket not too long ago regarding this, as this never happened in 2.0. The explanation was due to resources, and not having a million cars around the map just sitting there until reset. Obviously if it is in a populated area with people around, it is likely to stay there for someone to come back to. Often outside of those areas, the car still gets tracked to that spot, and I have seen on occasion (at least earlier on) that the vehicle is in fact there. I have come back to a spot and the vehicle was around again. Most of the time however it just disappears (you can sometimes see it on the spot as you spawn in, then in poofs). I completely understand the need to remove abandoned vehicles, however you also see all the tow/taxi/trucks/post op etc vehicles everywhere. I know they are different resource wise, but it is still odd? Is it possible instead to have a timer or some other tech from when someone DC’s that a vehicle will go? Especially in areas that aren’t necessarily populated, the likelihood of losing your vehicle to a DC are very high. Thanks! Edit: Seems to also happen when you are in a house robbery or similar away from areas, which plays into the car disappearing when no civs are within its area to keep it there. https://feedback.cityliferp.net/p/cars-disappearing-while-hitting-houses
Depth Gauge for Diving
Please add a depth gauge for diving. It would be so helpful to see how deep we are in the water so we can push the limits of air tanks more.
Increase pay globally across all jobs.
Trucking is the only job anyone is doing because it’s the only job you can do solo that just barely breaks $1k for ~20 minutes of your time. Except it doesn’t always work — personally I refuse to do trucking anymore because many of the delivery locations are bugged, meaning you not only potentially waste your time, but also the $500 truck rental fee if you aren’t able to finish the job. Bringing this up in the support channel prompted a “Have you tried making a suggestion?” so here it is. The economy feels like such a focal point that everything else — including whether or not you as the player are actually enjoying your time contributing to that economy — feels like an afterthought. The item durability is far too high, and even redundant and nonsensical for certain items — for example, water bottles and gym memberships shouldn’t decay after a couple of days — and so it serves as this constant reminder that everything costs, and everything is timed, and it just feels like there’s not enough money to go around. It might take you a week to accumulate enough funds to buy a car, and it might feel like a real accomplishment, only for you to then realize that you’ve already spent a week learning how to get around without a car anyway, and so now the purchase feels empty to some degree and only serves as a prop to show off rather than a functional utility. That pretty much sums up how every non-player interaction feels in CityLife. And as a result, there are (imo) less opportunities for quality roleplay, because everyone is too busy running around trying to scrounge up what little cash they can just to survive the day and feel like they’re better off than they were yesterday.
Nitrous bugs
When applying If you have more than 1 bottle of nitrous in your pocket as you install it, the extra bottles will make the system think that you didn't apply it. Deleting the bottle used and not actually installing it. This will continue happening until you only have one bottle in your pockets. After successfully applying When you installed it and get into your vehicle and can see the "100%", you need to tap the nitrous button and reduce it to less than 100%, if you don't it will "fall off" when you exit the vehicle. TL:DR: You must only have 1 bottle on your person as you apply or else it will poof. You must use 1% or more to save it to your car after applying without issue.
Cops and EMS deserve PRIO
Listen I love this City, Everything about it is great other than the cop problem. I believe there is enough cops BUT they just don’t got high PRIO. I think it would be great if you could show the cops and ems some love within the city to get prio and if they leave or get fired to get take the PRIO.
We need more PD and EMS
The city has seen a huge influx of new players lately which has created a huge line up in the queue to join. We haven’t been seeing the police presence in the city like it used too, and a lot of veteran players have left because of it. I think you should offer a discount on membership to all accounts that are tied to a PD or EMS player. By offering a 10-20% discount on their monthly subscription it would incentivize people to join PD and EMS by rewarding those vital roles with a discount that, in-turn, allows them to log into the game and avoid being stuck in that pesky queue. Please take this into consideration.
Monthly LSPD Hiring Fair
I was thinking a hiring fair for police would ramp up activity in city. more than often police are not in city to do the heists/robberies. I think that if people seen a hiring fair for lspd they would be interested to go and introduce themselves and put in a application. 100% citylife needs more policemen on duty and if there was a opportunity every month to put their name out there we would have a much healthier and active city. :)
Increase pay for most jobs.
If you look at jobs tab, majority of people only do trucking. I personally love it too but i would like to switch it up and do other stuff too. It just doesnt pay.
ExitLag
can you guys please reach out to ExitLag and integrate it to Citylife so they can have CITYLIFE in their community servers for best optimizations i use EXITLAG and it brings down my ping from 330 to 220 i am sure it will get improved if it is directly linked to citylife it will be helpful for everyone im sure
banking
Is it possible to have multiple accounts with possibly a shared account? It would be nice to have a way to keep money back for savings without having cash laying around.
Local EMS inventory wipe
So when there are no EMS available the only option sometimes depending on timezone or where you die, is typically using the Local EMS. While I understand that there should be a penalty for those types of players who NVL and live a bit recklessly. Having an inventory wiped of valuable Legal things like food, bandages, medkits, is a bit excessive. An illegal item wipe, saying that the EMS searched your body and found contraband, makes sense, and honestly should be lucky in that regard, but losing a laptop, that doesn’t have illegal stuff on it. Losing 20 food and drink you just purchased and 20 bandages, thats a big dent, for a person who did trucking, got crashed into by a speeding driver (Who lived by the way) and then left to die, is a bit much when you aren’t able to get help.
530R (4th of July 2024) Bugged
The 530R had bugged body parts that make them float in the air (As seen in pic). So far, after going through the mods, all it seems like are spoilers and hoods.
