love the update, except maybe the "Police can seize vehicles (vehicles are removed permanently from player garages)." What is that all about?

EDIT: the queue is probably the best addition. thanks for all your efforts!

Yes, more content is coming.

GTA has this thing if you are too far from your vehicle it migrates and you lose access to it and have to pull it out again.

Get caught with a van of meth you lose the van. Just like irl. 

I'll have to check all this out as its to my current understand before the patch and please if I'm wrong just say so politely. If vehicles can be seized does that mean we no longer have to pay 90,000+ for a camper van? just asking because being a cop/EMS isn't everyone's cup of tea I understand everything should be easier for them than illegal activity I do. Yet has the informants cost/timer been changed at all? To make it so the police are forced to search for Illegal activity instead of the current way pay for the information and roll up, I believe that unless they are an high ranking officer with the resources [pay check/ability to access police funds] to pay for such valuable information it shouldn't be an option especially NOW just like irl. [so to summarise a Price hike to 50,000+ and a higher rank is necessary to use the informant. due to our vehicles being seized/taken away]

"- You should no longer lose ownership of your vehicle if you go too far away from it "

I don't think that is currently working

It means if you want a Meth van again you will have to buy another one .....seized is just how it sounds you lose it.. And when an Officer uses the informant it give a general area not exact location what give the meth user away is the smoke from cooking it.. The officer is gonna be fair about using the informant to not basically camp it like and why should and informant cost 50k to use? Meth is mobile where weed is not meth pays the most so if you want to do it, it comes at a higher cost!!

Firstly calm down please your first sentence seemed a bit hasty. I know we have to buy a new one...But did the price of them get lowered... answer: No it's still 95,000.

Second because a camper van costs 95,000 that's why the informer cost should be raised means as though you can now remove it from us, as well as seizing the ingredients and don't forget you have the ability give us jail time/huge fines if we are to be caught. Which IMO is pretty achievable atm with informant cost being so low.

I'm sorry but I trust no-one person enough over the internet to say they wont abuse something, even a general area is a huge advantage over us when the stakes have just been raised VASTLY... and don't forget the "ranking required" idea which seems a bit more RPish to me what do you think? 

Also in regards to "being the best way to earn money" cooking takes 40mins for a full van without moving + harvesting time + selling time how much could you earn in peaches before this update in say 1.5h? Its an rp thing for us too mate I could of easily spent all my time power gaming peaches out.

Can one of you guys possibly share with us all the general area in an SS please?

Not going to show how the police tools work.

There will be adjustments to vehicle pricing and income from illegal activities. The ability to seize vehicles lays a foundation of risk that has been much needed up until this point. Now that the mechanics and capability is there we can address the larger game play problems in a more refined manner. Please remain patient, we are still building and refining the server mechanics, economy, game play and rules to create a fun atmosphere. I appreciate the feedback from everyone and the passion behind it. We are working hard to bring more content but much like a baby we need to walk before running.

Calm down?  Was just answering your question????   Ans secondly if you paid 30k for a car and Police seize it wouldn't you have to pay 30k again if you want that same car back? but you answered your own question on it anyway.  

 

"  even a general area is a huge advantage over us when the stakes have just been raised VASTLY... " 

Well you have the option to move place to place the guys that do illegal weed don't have that option? I mean they could just make it processing place to but that would add a whole new scenario with other players there trying to do the same thing... Its a Risk for doing it just like weed, robing a store, bank heist in future.

Well its kinda broken right now a bug report was put in but the more that was in the van the faster you cook so if it was fixed you potentially have a lot greater pay out  

@Biggs Just saying, in my experience police doesn't even have time to use that illegal informer. There's rarely time to go to sandy and use that informer. And if we even do that, like they said it won't give away the exact position, it just gives away an area where MIGHT be someone cooking meth. 

I have spent 15k on the informer since it was fixed. Not one time have I got a location. Not as op as people think. 

The police would not keep a vehicle, would we get the vehicle back eventually? Claiming a 95k vehicle permanently seems extreme considering I've played around 12 hours of mechanic and I'm still not even halfway to getting the RV. If it was real life the claimed vehicle would be returned eventually. The gamble is way too high for the reward, I could literally just finally get it and then have it taken away permanently if I got unlucky, and I definitely wouldn't be having any amount of fun at that point.

Anyone who cooks meth atm has to be willing to loose alot of time, money and effort. I did suggest they RAISE the cost of informer means as though an RV costs 95,000 but yano it got lowerd in the last patch. Because yano BALANCE.

And i did address that concern that we are still in the process of adjusting all of the game play mechanics and economy. Patience...

In favour of one party, hell give em semi automatics too....

I can see that you are unable to accept reason at this time. This wasnt the final patch ever for the server and we are currently working on additional tweaks to all of the aforementioned concerns. If you want to accept defeat and believe that we are trying to make it unfair then thats your decision. We appreciate the feedback and will continue to work as we have been to imrpove the balance in all facets of the game.

You may want to try some other jobs as well then. Peaches and gold and weed are better money makers. Mechanic is a starter job to help get you on your feet and afford a decent vehicle.

If it was real life on a Police forfeiture you know it Never comes back to you!! Police seize stuff all the time ( house,cars,guns) they just dont give them back to you if illegal activity is envolved

I mean should we start doing police auctions on all the seized cars like in IRL too? lol I mean tbh you will rarely if ever get cars back that are seized by police for illegal activities.

Is this bug back? Since I've had this happen to me quite often recently?

I'm uncertain if this is bug report worthy. Just thought I should ask it here first.

Its something that has gotten better but so far no server has a rock solid solution.
