@jasonbourne ' What do you mean by this? Either you make them automatic or you don't. There have been 2 versions of the toll booth in the past: which would have to be opened by a toll keeper. But no one spawned nearly enough and it made roads inaccesable. Therefore I made the suggestion of giving certain groups the ability. And have them opened by default, therefore making them only work when someone is near. which was fully automatic. which is self-explaining. you stop your car near. pay the tolls. and drive. Or go straight through the barrier and get wanted. I don't think mixing my 2 suggestions is a good idea. Automatic tolls can already be RP-d around if you want to. The 2nd option was made to disencourage campers. Combing the 2 will just make it harder to script and therefore less likely to be implomented. IMO the whole toll booths were something original and interesting on a cops vs robbers server. Rather then an activity it's just something which makes the map itself more interesting. now you just look at billboards.

Back in the days the toll booths were something unique to SAES. You stop in front of the barriers. Pay your toll and move along. Or if you are living the dangerous life. You'd ram through them full speed and get an increased wanted level. These locations also gave an unique location for people who actually did like to RP. As more experienced cops liked to "operate" the booths and talk with drivers about passing the boarders. For as far as I have been informed the toll booths got removed and readded before. This is due to people camping the toll booths as you had to slow down if you wanted to pay your taxes like a good citizen does. Which I agree that LS - LV highway is not the best location for this type of object/event? 1. Toll booths operated by SAI/PC/Other Therefore I've discussed this to be an oppertunity for the experienced cops. (Those who have earned their PC diploma or became an SAI officer for example good be a good fit.) To have the possibilty to operate the toll booths. If X (X= SAI/PC/other?) is near toll booth on foot. (Or in an operator booth in a marker.) It will activate the tolls. This means the barriers will close and people would have to stop to pay or speed through, in which the operator can forward the information or chase the target himself. (each time someone passes the operator gets 5% or something) This would mean the toll booths are far less likely to be camped by trainees. Which was the main issue before. 2. Automatic tolls The second option would be to return the toll booths back as they were before. Which might get camped, but bring something to more boring parts of the map, (SF-Bayside bridge for example) and also bring back this classic feature of SAES. I agree that trainees camping here is not nice. And I would probably do it myself some day. But as trainee you can also arrest unsuspecting criminals at LvX if you want even easier arrests. And my guess is that most criminals know how to drive at least decent enough to know how to drive between the pillars of the toll booth. But some people do suprise me to this day. The second option is ofcourse far easier to imploment. The scripts should still be there. It does not have to be tested. So it's far less likely to be rejected. If you don't like it, then ofcourse I'd like to hear why. I would respect it if the critism would be directed towards finding solutions. Rather then just random bashing other people.

We can't kamikaze because everyone gets bribed. Then when BR is about to start there are 30 people with 0 stars blocking the wanted crackers. This isn't about that, this is about cops not being able to participate in BRs when there are defenders. This is especially noticable when there are less cops. (BRs can start with less then 10 cops now) HLS also aren't permitted to go to BRs, and every gang HQ dissalows CLO to come. So that's a huge favour to crims. Anyone disagreeing with that can tell their gang HQ to allow CLO at their BRs. But that aside, I would agree on having the doors be the previous speed if we can change the rules to not being able to defend outside, this is better for cops but also safer against rulebreakers. Blocking roads is weird, I don't have a problem with it because a decently skilled player can drive around with only 1 or 2 second delay. RC its even faster to go around the bridge. But groups like SAI can't do a roadblock? Idk how that came to be but it's for a different time I guess.

@teddy I'll reply to this the same way 90% of all arguments in this topic have been made so far: Don't go there when there is a cop and you are wanted :))

While we are on the subject of defending anyway, look at this amazing clip right here. I would like to get some real CRIMINAL STRATEGY here: https://youtu.be/KrQO-9cWCQ4 Mind you, I am not allowed to kill unwanted defenders as it classifies as DM. There is no single aspect of this situation 'balanced' 'fair' or stimulating gameplay of the server. But I'd love some real criminal gamebreaking strategist to have a look. For the smartasses within us. If I walked away without going for vending I would have got shot in the back as soon as I got out of tazer teach, making me also die.

Same arguments were made for previous changes to BR system and jail as well (although this isn't jail topic) to criminals. "Get better tactics" "maybe don't JB alone but with friends" "bla bla bla". Cop reqruirement went down, there are now even less cops responding then before the previous changes. Which let me remind everyone, those were made because there were less cops. So for the less educated people here in short: There are less cops responding then BEFORE all previous BR changes. yes doors go slower, but we cannot even get to the door which opens slowly, so it doesn't matter how fast it goes. (Unless you crack slower then 5 minutes then learn2crack) BUT ASIDE ALL THAT. My main concern with defending outside is that other gang members and other randoms see this as the oppertunity to DM cops outside. Which is not allowed. HS BR with 6 defenders outside? -> Unwanted O members and randoms start dmming cops outside because HS are also doing that. (just get inside the bank lol) Also before BR starts, all crims just DM cops outside. Just get your ass inside if you aren't the robbing gang. It's only 10 more meters to hold W to then afk for 2minutes. I get it if a cop is actually chasing you. But just sitting outside with 5 different gangs just does not make sense. ( I don't think you are even allowed to do this? )

Happy new year everyone! Also happy birthday @jonas13362

I agree that seeing the whole map like DE is not nice (at least for me) so a toggle for distance would be nicer. Also being able to toggle loading of players and vehicles would be nice then. Since seeing the whole map empty just makes it worse. If that is possible then the next question is shooting range. As much as people like to DM. sitting on top of MC sniping players at lvx is also not ideal.
