City Sanitation Job

[Kota]

So thinking about this and another legal job would be a two-person (at least) up to four person job that would have you going to random locations and picking up trash... I think forcing people to work together on a job is a good way to help drive organic RP as well...But was totally pondering this being added for a more hands-on job rather than sitting around collecting gold or peaches. 

 

I also think payouts increasing slightly depending on the number of people you have with you. Let us say x amount more per person up to a full crew of four... This should promote more people interacting and trying to work and RP together. 

 

To add to it maybe having a spot where you sign in for the job... Non whitelisted but would provide you with a uniform and the trashmaster so long as you're signed into the job... everything would just be icing on the cake for it in my opinion.

 

Plus would be nice to see the trashmaster make it into badlands.

I like the idea honestly, I mean it would be good to have it be a two person thing too. Gives people the ability to actually team up and work together, we need more of those jobs around. Get people to interact more with each-other rather than sit around solo collecting on their own, that can get boring and lonely real quick.

As dirty as it is, I do like the sound of it! A job where you have to work with someone sounds fun.

It`s a good idea, i would love to see this be implanted into the server. Increasing the RP would be great and just another thing for people to have fun with.

I've seen this job in other cities, its actually more fun then one would think lol

I have done this too in other cities, and it is a lot of fun driving a trash truck with a buddy, jumping off and grabbing trash, and going to next job. 

The way I did it with a partner is, the one who takes the job grabs the trash, and the partner just drives the truck, since the GPS will mark my next trash spot, it will show for my partner who is driving. So it doesn't require 2 or more people, you can do it slowly by yourself or team up, just makes it more fun.

Only thing I don't want to see more of is a bunch of power gamer's, like with the truck driving. 

Seems like the pay per/hr is balanced off of the way most players drive the trucks, max speed, & Follow no traffic laws. 

So to drive a truck and follow the speed limits & traffic laws makes it the worst paying job per/hr out there. Such a shame.

 

So with trash trucks, will the pay be based off of driving as fast as you can, ignoring all traffic laws from spot to spot? 

Or can we balance the pay based off of normal lawful driving, and ban those that exploit the income by power gaming? 

 

Maybe its time for a CDL licence that covers Tow trucks, Big Rigs, and potentially Trash trucks. And losing this lic would be extremely detrimental. ($50k)

Mhm.. Maybe an automatic ticket mechanic? Like if you burn a red -$150 on your run, speeding, etc. I don’t know how it could work, maybe its a lot of work for Serpico tho.

 

But I do like the idea, I already know who I’d see doing that job

The community wants to keep things player based. Not an automatic system. For if you are paying a ticket for running a red light, you are "giving that money to the police department" not "some unknown alien lawful agency that no one knows about" if you wanna talk RP.

That's not his point his point is these guys don't care about RPing they care about driving as fast as they can with no care for there lives or others to make money fast.

I see. I don't have this problem, I have no choice but to follow the speed limit because my particular semi is slow.

As a truck driver myself, there is no RP in being a truck driver, which is part of the point some are making. Other than in the city, I don't follow any traffic laws when driving anything because there is no value in it, and it only makes my pay less. Let's be honest, the cops don't even follow them (and don't try to tell me otherwise, I watch a lot of streams).

So, to Merr's point, there needs to be a way to force these jobs to actually RP without the pay being punished. I've mentioned before for the trucking job that damage to your truck should be deducted from your pay when you reach the waypoint. There has to be something to hold the driver accountable or they will continue to drive like idiots. And they probably still would, but at least it would cost them money.

I know this sounds kind of funny and useless but the idea of being able to walk down the street and pick through a garbage can or dumpster to maybe find a drink or a piece of food would be amazing. I imagine if this was able to be added it would add more ways to RP a homeless person and create funny RP scenarios.
