Playtest - Day 2 feedback

[alex]

Today has gone really well, just as Day 1, we found a lot of smaller issues that we'll try to fix for Day 3!

I think we'll need to clarify some of the rules a little better regarding initiation, ensuring that players don't open fire or start combat without some form of initiation. Another would be VDM as I can see a few people randomly hitting other players and just leaving them on the ground incapacitated.

Overall though it was absolute chaos for the police now that players are getting accustomed to the mechanics and we anticipated a learning curve.

First time playing, had a lot of fun, I've not touched GTA as a whole in a very long time so the whole experience has been pretty fresh to me.

Shame that music radios are turned off, living without non-stop pop fm playing in my ears as the background of everything I'll ever do sucks but I get the reasoning, any chance that streamers could disable it with a command perhaps so normal players can enjoy the beats or some sort of disclaimer / option when you join to toggle it? Small thing I know, don't stress it if it would be a pain.

Otherwise, I'm really surprised by how clean a lot of the UI and animations are, everything was smooth, my only complaint is that it should be more obvious when you've tried to steal a car and don't have keys or something, since I was wondering why every vehicle I stole or got into wasn't moving especially when a NPC was driving it a second before, maybe just a flash of the controls at the bottom of the screen for a few seconds when you get into a vehicle that shows a note about if you have or dont have keys for the thing, and maybe stuff like your current hotkeys for starting/stopping an engine, interacting with the inventory etc?

Thanks for that though, was great x

Was playing as the Paramedic today, thanks again for the whitelist :D

Day started off busy early, as the hospital was quickly getting overfilled at any moment. On one side, people attempted selling me NFTs, multiple knife or bullet allergies... Overall though, despite the chaos we triaged and gave multiple IVs of Cocksuckitis thanks to my assistant EMT @TommyGman.

Our ambulance was stolen twice (thank god for having two in the garage) and I had a large variety of calls. What I wish EMTs could do more is actually perform certain actions in the field, perhaps stabilizing the patient until a ride to the hospital. This can be roleplayed out though, of course.

The only bug that occured was once not being able to Escort people anymore after putting multiple into an Ambulance, however when I got incap'd, another bug... fixed it? Well, good bad bug, I guess!


I had a blast though, there were some really cool moments, and I appreciated the playtest being longer. I won't be able to show up tomorrow, but I'm beyond excited for the next playtest or for the full release, whatever is first. The roleplay is obviously not all too serious right now, since its still early Playtesting, however it's still much better than I imagined, as I was worried at first when I heard about VoiceRP. However, it all works out.

Overall, the server is really fun at the moment and I love all the effort you guys put in. Keep it up! :)

Unfortunately, Neb doesn't have rights for the music either so it's not necessarily just anyone streaming it that's at risk. You'll just have to make use of your streaming service of personal choice.

I'm curious as to how this works because on other servers I've seen them use the radio. If it comes with the base game then isn't it free play to use?

I believe the servers that use the radio don't seem to care or don't know about it's issue of use

If someone streams the server they will be DMCA'd for the copyrighted music.

What if the radios were disabled by default but there was a setting to turn it on? With a big red warning cautioning streamers TWICE that they will be DMCA'd for enabling this feature and playing music on stream?

Nebulous would technically still be broadcasting and "distributing" those songs. Rockstar holds a license to those songs either for their singleplayer or GTA: Online modes, Nebulous doesn't, nor do we as individuals.

Just listen to a Spotify playlist.

Yeah but isn't that just a streaming issue?

Getting local cars is obscenely frustrating without a lockpick it seems. On my first character I slaughtered an entire intersection of people to try and get their keys while carjacking and literally got zero? Like I can understand needing lockpicks for stationary cars that are turned off, but when I drag them outta their cars, it shouldn't immediately turn off. If the logic is "they took the key out" then me gutting them should render me able to take the key for the car, but that wasn't an option. I spent the last half hour having to run back and forth between places because there was no taxi's, I didn't have a lockpick on that character specifically and I wasn't able to carjack - honestly the only negative of the night, so let's get onto the good parts:

I had a lot of fun driving around with @Rod and got into some fun hijinks, and I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I also got my reporter gear so I'm looking forward to starting that too, but I'm not sure how I earn money with it.

It's an issue for both an individual streamer and the server as a whole, both are open to copyright claims over the music. Nebulous does not own the music, we do not own the music. We simply cannot play it. In the case of private FiveM servers, Rockstar, who has the licenses, are not actually broadcasting the material that is licensed but is being played, Nebulous would be the broadcasting entity, and if a streamer is streaming, so are they.

Sure it's a matter of getting caught, reported, and C&D'd, but why even let it get that far just so a few people aren't inconvenienced by having to open their own Spotify playlist?

If there isn't a barrier from freely yanking local cars everything else is fucked. You will have shit lords just grabbing vehicle after vehicle using them as weapons. PD or some gangbangers disables your vehicle? Oh guess I'll just hop in this local's car and speed away before they can get me. Why have personal car ownership? Why have rentals or taxis if we're just going to yoink local cars freely without any sort of barrier besides the low risk of going to jail?

Not sure if it's a bug or if I was just doing it wrong, but as waste disposal, after my first location, every other location didn't have the indicator as to where I needed to park to complete the job.

Something called quality of life. You cannot live in paranoia of minges for every single thing. You start with 5k, that's enough for a gun and ammo, nothing stopping them from shooting everyone with your logic. Hell, nothing stopping them from walking to a market and getting a lockpick and doing what you're saying. There needs to be a balance. Additionally when I murder 15 people and find ZERO keys for any of their cars, it goes beyond reason.

There's a few character customization bugs and messing with the manual facepaint colors can override the base ones and give more muted tones to it, a 'reset to default' option is needed there
also moving from controller to keyboard is fine but the menus need analog stick support, also died and it just said 'hit e to revive' instead of giving me the 300s timer when i had my controller so it literally lied to me stating i could just respawn instead of wait
only lag hitch was smashing into a car at full-speed, melee with npc's was ok
probably played the actual game for only like 20m though the rest was just messing with customization and resetting the input bindings

great day, first time playing and I've really enjoyed it.
