5 years ago I agree that working jobs is way to repetitive and kinda slow, especially when there are cops online (which means you have to drive a lot slower most of the time). I think it would be a really bad idea to limit the amount of time a player can money; this would only demotivate players and have them travel around just to start a less enjoyable job. What I think would work really well though is that the longer you wait and don’t do that job, the more it pays. It would work in somewhat the same way Wow rested exp works; if you log out for let’s say 2 hours you get a boost of exp next time you log in. I’m not saying it should work exactly the same. You could even RP it in, for example: if you don’t go to Ron for 2 Hours it gives you a message in game that says there is a new special delivery or something. I just think it would be a bad idea to punish people for playing a long time. You should reward them if they stay away. Another idea is paying players more for doing different jobs, for example: doing gruppe for let’s say, 3 shifts gives you an extra 10k your next run at Ron.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Everyone ignores the low end jobs and just jumps to the high end job which is extremely inaccurate compared to real life, on top of this there is people jumping on and just doing nothing but grinding a job over and over which is also unrealistic as it wouldn't be humanly possible.
Describe the feature you'd like Currently there is levels within jobs which is great however as stated above people are just going for the top tier jobs which pay out more, on top of this you should be limited to 2 shifts per every in game day cycle forcing people to do more than just GRIND over and over.
Your jobs should be progressive in the following sense:
Start out as a pizza delivery guy to gain delivery experience, after "X" amount of deliveries you get promotion same as currently you level up within the company get a pay rise etc etc. However once you reach the mid tier of a company Level 3 you get referred to a new job, a new career. OR you can stay within the company you are at and carry on getting promoted and earning pay rises. Start a new job you will begin to be on less money than the previous job you were in but the starting wage should be higher than previous jobs starting wage for example;
Pizza deliver guy Level 1 = $500 per shift - Delivery scooter Level 2 = $1000 per shift - Delivery scooter Level 3 = $1500 per shift - Upgraded motorbike - Unlocks referral to new job Level 4 = $2000 per shift - Upgraded motorbike Level 5 = $2500 per shift - Pizza delivery car Level 6 = $3000 per shift - Use your own personal vehicle
Small truck deliveries (Amazon) Level 1 = $700 per shift - Small box truck Level 2 = $1400 per shift - Small box truck Level 3 = $2100 per shift - Medium box truck - Unlocks referral to new job Level 4 = $2800 per shift - Medium box truck Level 5 = $3500 per shift - Cab and Trailer Level 6 = $4200 per shift - Cab and Trailer
Utility Driver Level 1 = $900 per shift - Garbage truck Level 2 = $1800 per shift - Garbage truck Level 3 = $2700 per shift - Tipper truck - Referral to new job Level 4 = $3600 per shift - Tipper truck Level 5 = $4500 per shift - Scrap metal truck Level 6 = $5400 per shift - Scrap metal truck
I would continue but you should get the point by now, currently the server seems to be stagnating, and all I see each server is like 5-6 ron drivers, 5-6 RS truckers and Gruppe 6 people flying around everywhere, as stated above there should be a limitation to how many times you can do a shift within "x" time to force people to move away and actually RP.
Describe alternatives you've considered Possible alternatives that are currently coming into place or so I've heard is just reducing the amount of money the legit jobs get which I have no issue with. The problem this will create is it just means people will spend even more time just driving around and not roleplaying.
Additional context There a huge variety of roles that can be multi-tiered into the game, it'll make things a hell of a lot more interesting and will bring more to the RP.
And probably more that I can't think of currently.
