Burglar jobs?

[Connor O'Shea]

Myself and Manuel Carlos(Manny) have been talking about this idea and would like to see what the community thought!

 

New Theft Job Idea

Use the open homes that have been put in place from the main story.

Each home provides different qualities of loot with the “Richer” neighborhoods providing higher quality items or loot.

Each home can have 3-5 “harvest arrows” similar to grapes and mining.  These arrows will move periodically just like the grapes and if they are on a cabinet, the “thief” will need a lockpick to gain the secured item(s).

The Richer houses will have silent alarms that get triggered upon entering the house giving LSPD a ping and the criminals a short window to search.

The cheaper houses will not have security but the arrows will have a chance where if they don’t find anything and then PD is alerted by an npc noticing suspicious behavior.

 

Informant – can have a chance to inform of string of house theft or B&E.

Selling – player owned shops can “purchase items” through a “pawn items” option.

As for the loot, maybe have the loot pool be something similar to diving but still specific to the types of houses that they are taken from. The “rich” homes have gold, diamonds, coins, different bars and such. Where the “Cheaper” homes have boots, dirty money, grapes, peaches, various foods from the shops.

These are just a few Ideas and such to use what the devs already have in game so that we can add to our RP and emersion and give both cops and criminals a new RP scenario other than just drug calls and drug busts.

 I know some people like to RP in the open homes as their own from the “cheaper homes” side, so that would add as an RP for someone to think their home is being stolen from? Just some ideas. What does the Community think?

+1 100% very good suggestion and great detail put into the post.

Very good idea, would love to see this!

Maybe random hostile npc's spawn inside these homes when you trigger the robbery as well maybe a dog or a person waiting to defend the home... and if so it's auto alerted to PD and will allow for a higher chance for better loot when this happens.

+1 Love the idea.

[Caralanco]

great idea, definitely think it should be implemented.

[George Cahill]

I like it. 

[Patricio Costello]

AWESOME!

So it's a cool idea, and obviously, a lot of people like it. I guess my concern is for the people that like to RP at these locations without doing something illegal. How would this affect them?

According to @Kota Taylor, the world is ending because the Lost MC club has a market in it. So I'd like to avoid similar meltdowns in the future.

Let’s burn the world down then

What if we add a barrel or something that adds a break in to the house? This of course would alert PD immediately no matter what neighborhood they are in, but once "clocked in" as a thief, you will have the arrows available to you. or add a thief option to the business center like for cab drivers and such. That way only someone clocked on as a thief will see these arrows and be able to interact with them? This way, those who want to RP there will be able to, those who want to steal can still steal at these locations, and it might even enhance the RP even more. Imagine them unknowingly entering the home while people are roleplaying and having to sneak about. Could be interesting at the larger properties. what do you think @speed and the rest of the community?

IMO whoever decides to RP in these open buildings know that they are available to everyone, even if they "claim" them... I think bringing mechanics that enable the burglar jobs or markets only bring more interaction among players that RP in those locations and the players that would use them for the new stuff. Brings their worlds together somehow, I like!

I wouldn't make it a job option at the center, more like you suggested, something similar to wine. At the entrance of the property or hidden somewhere, you start the "robbery mission", and then you see the markers. So people RPing that they leave there don't have to see them unless they start the mission themselves.

Maybe not even put markers at all, let them be invisible so the burglars have to search and find the valuable stuff.

@Flori

Thank you, I am loving all of these extra additions, I might update my OP to add what ppl have suggested, so that should the devs decide to implement, they will have the OP, and updated OP to go from. Seems like a lot of people would like to see this implemented.

I mean the world isn't ending due to the store at the Lost MC club (It ended already with heelys that didn't work)
