A lot of longer term issues and FX problems have been resolved. Vehicle handling/repairing are going to take a bit of time to adjust to! The fact is people were abusing free repairs (especially during police chases) so we had to make adjustments. As always we value everyones feedback and will keep an eye on our changes and adjust as needed. Thanks!

This is just my opinion and not that big of a deal that I would make a suggestion post of it but I just think that the cars at the moment are a bit too durable. Like, if you in real life crash a car to a rock while driving 80 mph, it shouldn't move after that. This is just what I think.

Some of the vehicles seem a little more durable than others. Some vehicles are in a perfect spot but there are a few we need to adjust for sure! Same can be said for handling, bikes need adjusted and a few cars need modified

I like that cars can't be repaired at the garages cause it gives the opportunity for people to do some freelancing mechanic jobs, eventually a tow-truck service as a job at the job-center. On the other hand, is there any chance that at some point there are some spots where you can fix the cars (in driveable condition but a little messed up) and pay for it?

Why add locations when you can pay a little bit for a repair kit and repair anywhere you need to? Youll always be able to do a light repair so your car is driveable but for a full repair youll need to buy a repair kit. Dont know if its worth adding locations arouns the map to do less than a repair kit can (these locations would be static where a repair kit works anywhere)

I just want to say Good Job I know it hasn't been easy and much needed new stuff

It's sad that people already started to realize they only need to put their car back to garage and spawn again to get free repairs

I am fine with this for now. The main concern was people driving through circle during cop chase and just quick repairing. For them to store a vehicle during a police chase would fall under combat logging.
