This is just a suggestion. I havent been in the server for the past couple weeks but atleast when I left it was hard to rob banks, or get key cards for bank robberies. I think a system where higher risk higher reward would be nice. For example the pacific standard is a big bank, it could have a bigger reward and it could require more cops to rob. Also the bank in legion square could be a higher reward since it is right next to the police station so you couldnt just rob it and leave because it is far away. I would suggest this or making bank cards more common and not needing cards to rob banks. This would cause more fun rp with cops and criminals.
 
In my opinion, bank robberies are pretty cut and dry RP. I believe that was the reason the rarity of cards was decreased in the past. Although I have seen people chain rob banks, so I'm not sure how that works. My suggestion would be to keep the rarity the same, and if you increase the rarity make it a little more difficult.
 
Honestly, for once I don't have a complaint about bank robberies. The card drop is a good rarity, you don't get them enough to do them every day but you get enough to do it a few times a month. The payout is also pretty good, usually $250,000-$300,000 dirty. And the robbery is fast so depending on the bank, you can be out before the cops even arrive.
 
Personally I think the rarity of the cards is fine but I think the timer for how fast the robberies are with the cards should be adjusted to allow time for the police to arrive OR there should be some sort of camera system so the police can actually see a live feed of the getaway vehicle and suspects to allow for investigation into who robbed the bank and how they are escaping.
 
Dont know if a live camera feed thing exists but would be super cool

half the time we show up and no one is there, im all for certain things being crim sided but it would be cool if we had a chance to pursue. Like the perfect timing would be different for each bank. The GOH one would be a little longer than the city one.
 
There is a Camera/CCTV Plugin. The thing with it is that you can't use it while in a car or moving, If you do you will start to go 300 through the ground. With the CCTV Plugin, We only have access to like 3-4 banks, One of them being the Paleto Bank.

There should be a timer with the Keycards and banks, because as playing as Cop, It does get annoying getting an alarm for a bank on GOH and when we get there no one is there and the people robbing it haven't left anything to build RP off of.
 
I feel like a few of you are forgetting the point of robberies, its for the RP, not the money.
 
Could probably make the time to open the door longer and notify police a tad earlier?

Where's the RP?!

Very good point. I mean it gives RP for an investigator but that's really it. The odd time the cops are showing up as the crim is getting into a car and leaving

What RP do crims or cops get from robbing a bank in 20 seconds and no cops have time to show up?

Pretty much agreeing with adam here.

Granted if you do a non-money based RP purely for a robbery that works wonders, wait for the cops. But it takes the immersion away from the setup of planning and getting out ASAP. You have to make a conscious choice rn whether you want cops to come or just get away.
 
Realistically, bank robberies always have been and likely will remain to be a HUGE system in the server. New players join and the first thing they ask is "how do I rob ___" or something of the sort. I find bank robberies getting increasingly stale over time. Originally I found them fun with the shootouts and action that occurred, but they're getting to be one sided; whether it's the cops with a huge advantage, or the criminals. (A cop advantage would be something like using flashbangs and tear gas to completely shut the criminal down with no chance of escape. A criminal advantage would be, as we've seen, blocking the road with nearly impossible vehicles to get around so they get away before we get to the bank.) I think the whole bank system is fine by itself, but the RP quality needs work. Duck said it perfectly. Bank Robberies are a thing for RP, not money. (Obviously the money is nice, but still, it's an RP server.)
 
Last time i did one the payout was 800k so i think you're doing something wrong my guy. Now i know theres been some changes on how to get the cards and i would go to check the drop rate but thats pritty hard as it would require me to rob banks alot ye know.
Anyway, roughly a million which you can split with a crew of 4 is really great, the highest it has ever been since the last restart.
Now this is good for the criminals, but as police the robberies suck half the time, the negotiator gets some fun by talking to the crims but the other 4-6 officers can only sit and wait for a chase. Which if the criminals do their job isnt long.
The RP half the time is non existent as everybody is pritty much waiting for the criminals to run. So if the criminals would actually do some twists, like ratting out a friend once, or setting up 1 guy to take the fall it would already become more interesting. Its still an RP server and thats what should be the main focus.
Now the police can also increase their RP by blocking the roads properly/setting up their own tricks/ looking around for possible escape route's or vehicle. Just because the crims RP bad doesnt mean the police has to aswell.
In conclusion both sides need to step up their RP and the bank payout should be fine if its done properly
 
Textbook robbery:
Cop: Hey sir how are you? How many people are inside?
Criminal: 22 of us inside
Cop: is the hostage okay? Hostage are you okay?
Hostage: yes
Criminal: No AIR1, NO spike strips, no speed unit, clear passage

CRIMINAL ZOOMS AWAY IN HIS LAMBORGHINI

If this is how you do robberies, you are putting no enjoyment in for the cops, and the only thrill for the criminal, is I get to drive fast away from the cops!! WHOOOOO

I will add to this - personally as a cop I enjoy a competitive chase, but when the crim is in a lambo, and your in a tahoe, there really is nothing for the cop to do. I can see why a lot of the cops don't enjoy it tho, because we get it every single day.

Try something different. Please.

I would be happy to see the pay increase, only after I see the quality of RP increase.

Ya I am not 100% sure about this, but I think you do need a card to rob a bank. I think it should be a reasonable amount of money because it is mot worth the risk for a lot of people if it is hardly any momey. Like I said higher risk higher reward, maybe the city bank in legion should be a higher reward. Or the pacific standard should require more cops on with a higher reward. Right now tho, i think you do need a card to rob one.

Agreed, that is why we should make it a timer that allows cops to get there. But also it is not worth the risk if it is not atleast a decent amount of money. Especially higher risk banks like pacific standard and legion fleeca.

I believe you get 250k with one card and closer to 800k with both of the cards. The entire robbery in its current state takes somewhere around a minute to complete.
 
yes there are no cards in the city thogh because they have all been used and you cant reuse them. And I do think you should not be able to just rob it and get out with no cops that is not what i am saying.
