GTAV Fivem, Distress call

[Marcoboy24]

With the new Police Investigations that are going on, Criminals can also take more of their time to reduce the evidence. However there isnt alot of room for that because the Police show up 2 minutes or less after the distress signal is pressed. I think we need to remove the distress signal, because when i get shot in real life, i cant use it either. Or have a timer before you can use it, to give criminals some time to do their work.

lol no. To be honest, we barely have investigations as is, most cases MAYBE have a bullet on scene and a visual description of the suspects. By the time we start looking for them they've changed clothes and the bullet is only helpful to identify the weapon type and the exact barrel it came from if we come across the murder weapon. We can literally do nothing if you sell that weapon and get another and change your clothes.

Investigations is an extremely difficult process at the moment that relies 100% on RP and giving people time to "Remove the evidence" basically kills any chance of an investigation at all, in turn killing the investigations role play.

If something like a delayed distress signal notification for EMS/police was to be added, we would need a literal evidence mechanic in place to counter this where our job relies on physical evidence that would take time to remove and would almost never all be removed in time.

P.S. WHen you get shot in real life, 5 of your neighbors just called 911 saying they think they heard gunshots, so distress signal or not, the cops are coming ^^

Basically what Cryptic said.

Until we get a full-fledged evidence system, panic buttons will remain. Plus, every server has a panic button regardless if you would have been "killed" in that scene.

Yikes, can you imagine not having a distress button when some asshat leaves your body in the middle of a bush or the middle of nowhere -1.

To elaborate, while our server is supposed to be seriousRP, there is a point where realistic turns into too much of a burden or unrealistic for the reality of the situation which is were playing a video game. That’s why when you “die” in game your character isn’t deleted, or why people aren’t booked for 20 years. I see this suggestion just as overly unrealistic and would definitely damage our server. Sadly this is a BIG -1
