[SUGGESTION] Blips visible all the time.

[Brophy]

With recent player counts, someone suggested that we enable blips to be visible all the time, regardless of distance, to prevent it looking emptier than it is.

People need to consider the implications this would have for BR regroups, flanking, or other activities you wouldn't want your rivals (whether they're cop or criminal) to see

What you think?

[Remp]

Yes.

[kikas]

I miss the days when that was the norm. Big +1 from me

[RAMPAGE]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

We can try it for 1 month and if we ain't happy with this change we can always reverse it.

The server is going to be empty if it's empty. The current system of how the player blips work is perfect. The current system allows players to pull off cool tricks during combat situations or general server events where player location is important. (A quick example is flanking the enemy in a turf zone without being seen). Removing this and making all the blips visible destroys the stealthiness and fun element in numerous daily activities and I don't think that it's necessary at this point.

I want to reiterate the point that if the server is empty, it is empty nevertheless. Making blips visible won't change the fact that there are 30 players in game where in normal conditions there'd at least be 80-100.

I have updated the first post, so people realise the ramifications of this.

Might as well allow CLO/HLS and other supposed to be untraceable classes to disable their blips, then it's all good

[Crash]

would this also show blips in other dim? or can this be disabled to keep LMS more interesting in the way of people not seeing other people blips

[Line]

This script will disable the hiding/sneaking/surprising on fights .

Maybe as added suggestion to just be for people using vehicles? That way people can still be stealthy for combat and regroups (if they all stand outside the plane).

Otherwise I would also vote no, for the same reasons as other people already stated.

this is absolute garbage suggestion. its just another way to kill BRs as its already dead and making turfs more dead as they already are. instead of implanting new game play stuffs you comes out with this joke. what does it do to the current player count problem ? if you want to see how full is the server is feel free to press tab and explore at your own will. completely disappointing idea i was waiting for something good to come out really.

[Cappo]

as durby said, if the server is empty, its gonna be empty with the blips on or without them.

there hasn't been pretty much anything going on (except the genius idea to add Casino Robberies now, as the server is pretty much empty, even though the idea was suggested years ago, as well as the even more genius idea about the 7th bank), so after all that, now this complete nonsense idea is getting suggested. i understand its tough to keep even the few players playing, but i guarantee you that with ideas like those it won't get any better.

people are out here expecting something that makes sense, though they get either a garbage idea or an idea that was suggested in like 2018. such a disappointment.

The current system is just fine, gang members seeing their member's blips, squads can see every squad member blips, all cool if you need to see someone's blip simply invite him to a party.

[Light.]

That will not give us the chance to sneak or to flank in big fights like turf war and those things, And if a cop is chasing a group of criminals they will see him easily and he will not give a chance to hide and use some tactics to get them, That's a small example of the problems that will happen, -1 From me :bonjour:

[Brazz]

Well, thinking about all the things that this suggestion will ruin (BR organization, surprise factors, etc)
I don't really think this suggestion will be cool.

We used to see all the blips in map in old times... We updated to this better thing and people wants to go back to the old lol

Enabling all blips won't bring players back too

[Reeyzee]

Hiii... heres my little opinion on this topic, correct me if im wrong....

I agree that blips can be viewed at any time, but on the other hand developers should of course pay attention to which blips need to be enabled...

Example : Official Squad can only see BLIP members, just like SWAT can see FBI, SAFP, and others. they can't see ordinary Police like State Police, Prison Warden, Police and others, but Ordinary Police can see their parts like State Police, Prison Warden, Police and others... like group system

Same goes for Official Gangs and Criminal... but for Official Gangs and Criminal this MUST add coding to the system (/WAR or /ASISST), which if the command is inactive they can see each other's BLIP, and if the command is active, then they can't meet each other like BLIP now, this can be a solution to avoid flanking, or other activities that your rivals don't want

this might be a reference for developers to consider...

Regards ReeyZee...

Okay I thought of an idea. I am still against this being implemented in any way but I guess this could make both sides happy. A command (maybe /showblips) could be implemented. When the command is activated, that person can see the other players' blips who also have /showblips on. So if you have the command on, you can be seen by people who have the command activated and they can see you too. This might be the most sensible middle point. @Brophy

well, after reading all of this i believe most of the "old" players or lets say the ones who have a good knowledge in this server wont all players blips to be shown, but in another case this suggestion built on the fact thats the map is empty for new players and i believe you saw atleast one or two said ("where is all") in fact this server have no tutorials for newbies just a book of rules, how about making a big gui window full of steps whenever the newbie join an activity such of sr/br/vip etc thats will help!
going back to this suggestion, how about making all blips shown for new registred players about their first 10h playtime, so they wont feel lonely or maybe their first week... and some rules regards this for sure thing.

Fair enough

Good idea, imo an extra command could also be made that only official gang members and clo could put on, if they didn't wish to be seen by non-crim spawns

Community vote split down the middle.

No change will be made.
