Title: [N]Car export signal
Post by: SRC on August 24, 2010, 10:55:21 AM
Hello guys I saw there a lot of people do not know where to export cars and many ask where is the location ... would be better and easier for everyone if you could put a symbol where everyone knows where to go not to look.



Thx  ;)

Hmmm, I guess that red blip only works when you are driving that export vehicle itself.?
Anyway, all extra information is usefull.
Information about export could also be implemented in the tutorial.
furthermore + 1

No, it works always, even if you are on foot.

About the suggestion itself, I dunno what to say: I usually support things that make it easier, but car exports are already easy and exploring the city is a part of its charm. So I haven't voted yet.

EDIT: I'm surprised that in a server where so many people want difficult things, there are 6 positive votes for this and 0 negative votes.

I voted no because we shouldnt hand out or reveal hotspots (spots where u can make money fast). Let them keep asking they will find out eventually. Dont make it easier than it already is. Somethings u have to explore. If you take that away whats left to explore ? nothing and it will get boring.
u always impress me ;)
Voted No

rofl I think I do not know a lot of stuff and many are the only pirate ship to export machinery, as reported pirate ship and export is a symbol of the car and not have it? behind many other pirate ship and kill them and they leave the game but if you have more places to make money I think they not gonna leave the game and LW do not remain only eight players on the server

Revealing EVERYTHING is not a good idea indeed.
But newbes not knowing much isn't a good thing either, they will get lost in a world of regulars raping them without much knowledge of other things in the server & quit.
maybe make this a mini-mission or something during the tutorial.( search vehicle, search export place, make money.)

Browsing Redsands West on the map ain't a big deal, and anyone shall be able to find Xoomer n/or the Steakhouse.

Don't the symbols also only appear when you come in range of them? The bank markers and stuff are set on all the time but you only see them on the radar when you're in range of them anyways.

Actually when you've gone in a symbols' range once then it saves on the map. So if you pause and check the map it will be there. I think a little car icon would be nice actually. So you still have to actually find it but once you have it's not hard to get back.

Hmmmm yeah, SRC is right here: new players don't know how to export cars and only know the pirate ship, but as in that place they earn very little money and can be killed, they are very likely to rage /q, however if they know that they can export cars and earn lots of money with more ease, they will probably stay longer.
It's not only about making things easier for newbies, but also about informing them about all the things they can do in the server.

At first I didn't know what to vote but now I voted +1 :)
