Brief Summary:
Change the system for breaking into safehouses etc... to be similar to how prison and other places works.
Detailed Suggestion:
So I think basically everyone in a whitelisted gang/group can tell you right now, there is constantly break ins between 4am-7am when there is 99% of the time nobody from that group online, everyone talks about it and knows people are just doing it for 'free loot' and what basically happens is they break in at stupid o'clock when nobody is online and check if any storages have been left open, or if there is anything else that can be stolen. It's been happening for a while now, never at a reasonable time. Personally I think this is down to the fact that these people have no intention of roleplaying with members of groups or gangs, they just want to rob them when there is basically no chance of getting caught, or no chance or any repercussions. From experience recently, I'll say even if you are lucky enough to catch someone doing it and they are dealt with, it's making no difference as they are just coming back and doing it again at 5am. This is obviously an isolated group of players being stupid, but I think it's highlighted a flaw in the system, or something that could be improved for roleplays sake.
My suggestion is to change the system, so that you can only lockpick/drill into a gang/groups safehouse or property if there is at least 1 member of the group online, fairly simple. If there is 0 members online, you cannot break in and get a message similar to other places like this saying something like "There's too much heat in this area right now" or similar. I'd compare this to the likes of banks, where you can only rob them if there is a certain amount of Police online, there is already a lot of places this sort of logic is used on the server already.
Besides the whole idea of 'looting' places, it would stop the nonsense of breaking into a gangs safehouse at 4am to take selfies and photos all over the place, then posting them all over Tweedle at 8pm, something I personally think is just boring honestly.
The Pros:
- Encourages roleplay, forcing people to take the risk of being confronted if they want to do it
- Makes it fairer for gangs/groups so they don't need to worry about being essentially 'offline raided' at 5am like you are playing Rust
- Stops people having the chance to completely avoid any roleplay
The Cons:
- None that I can think of
Does this suggestion change balance on the server ?
Yes
