[IV:MP] Let's upgrade medic job!

[Mihail Junkovich]

Helloooooez

As most of you already knows, medic job isn't quite much useful on the server. And one of main reasons is.. that beside the obvious lack of players going on it, it isn't really much helpful because food is much more easily accessible and well it's a bit cheaper.

You can easily "fill" yourself up for around 40$ and 3,4 meals or smth.. and from the other side medic will take as much money as he heals [ HP healed=Money earned ], meaning that his earning won't be much high anyways.


So.. I was thinking. Maybe one of the solutions would be to limit the amount of /buy "AnyKindOfMeal" is limited to a certain period [Maybe 10 minutes or smth?]. That way we wouldn't be able spam the /buy meal or /buy whateverYouEat to heal us. That way the usefulness of medics would be much greater, at least I think so.

Besides that... even dough I thought their earn rate should be doubled 1hp healed = 2$, now I think that it wouldn't be needed after applying that change from above. They would have enough "customers" to work it through.


Downside of this idea is that almost all "food" stores will kinda die off. haha


Let's try to work something out hehe

[Spike.]

What about focus the medic duty on roleplay and not money ?

[Mihail Junkovich]

Tell that to all who do not go on it? Or maybe our lovely firemen?

[hurricane]

Yes the doctor/paramedic job is used mostly for rps, not for profit (and it's one of the best jobs for rp). If you want profit, there's already a fireman job that has missions requiring just pressing F.
The restaurant business doesn't really give much profit even now, limiting it will just totally kill it like you say. Not to mention the occassional /buy meal bug. And besides food, there are other alternatives to obtain health, such as hooker services and weed. I don't think limiting alternatives is the solution. The solution to this situation would probably be raising the medic reward (twice or so) without raising the service price.

The driver job is even in worse condition right now. And if we follow the same logic as Mihail suggested, should we limit personal vehicles and state cars? I don't think so. I think the main problem is that driver services are just way too expensive, the prices should be significantly lower. For example right now, MGS - Star Junction trip would cost you around 300$, that's why. I know about the /setprice but it doesn't help much, the prices should be fixed on lower values, on my opinion.

[Mihail Junkovich]

Actually the drivers/taxi job will hardly ever be alive as the main transportation are owned cars that are easy to acquire. Not to mention everyone can call anybody on the chat to pick them up. By my opinion that will always stay a roleplaying job. As for the medic, I would just like to see more medics on the street. The whole thing with buying meals and whatever does not really has any purpose than the collecting cash. And if we should suggest investing any scripted earnings, it is better to put them in something that can actually bring the roleplay a bit closer to the players ^^

I do not really know, but how many of them did roleplay with themselves the "buying of meal" haha

As I said in first post, that was just a suggestion.. first idea, lets make anything better than the current status lol

You are very wrong about this. I have personally role played a lot of times serving customers at Burger Shot. It is a pretty fun rp when there's a queue of customers waiting for their order. Besides, this company has it's own branded menu they can choose from (Heartstopper, Bleeder, etc). The problem is that it's already quite limited that if customers want to heal up, they must go outside to the circle checkpoint.

The driver job was very popular about a year ago. It was probably the most profitable one.

[Mihail Junkovich]

That could still be roleplayed even if the limit of buying is set to just one meal, no? (:

The fact is, majority of us is just using that for spamming /buy food, while with medics you can always end up doing any kind of roleplay because you need 2 players to do the command.  As for the drivers, maybe yes.. when the automatic car respawn was not working and people start stripping off newcomers who just logged at the empty parkalot on the airport

[hurricane]

You aren't even considering the hooker job and smoking weed again. Do you know that a lot of criminals who buy tons of weed for obtaining respect level don't even use anything exept weed for healing? With this fact, the restaurant/bar business suffers a huge loss already. The profits are really low already.
The idea you offer will only destroy this business completely but will not help medic job much.

You talk here about rp, but why don't you consider some hungry chubby citizens who need more than one meal to kill their hunger? This is obesity discrimination 

[Danny Soulson]

It Would be Better on thinking making a script for Hunger or smth...
(if Your Health Falls to Zero then)You loose every 5 minutes health

basically If You are bleeding or smth.. You just eat food and done full health!...

Taxi job Is pointless , And Medic...

Its Kinda Sad That Most of People only think on money ,Money killed So much RP...
It Doesnt Feel like a RP server Anymore.

Well hooker job as well as weed consumption should be rework then. Weed can not and should not compensate for the lack of energy, if anything it should decrease it as weed does influence hunger. The script for hunger might be a good option if it is possible to make.

The thing I would think it could work with it is that meals kinda reset.. the decreasing of hp if you do not eat on each maybe 15 min? If you do not eat, then the hp decreases with in each 5 min. But still I would keep the healing from food to some small level.

I actually do not really see the point of having restaurant/bar other than roleplay business. You can always have a bartender/shopkeeper that could roleplay selling that stuff [Like Honig was doing with hotdogs]

Anyways people gotta stay fit! Maybe we can limit them that they can buy one type of food of each sort haha

[Fallout]

Luke , In my opinion no matter /buy meal or /heal from medic. For me /smoke always the best treatment for heal ever ( For some people, When they are hungry. and they smoke weed.. They get the best feeling which makes they hungriness partially away for the movement and Weed is also medicinal plant as per as science. So we take it as Medicine )! And It rocks ! And Medic is mostly used for Role-Plays. And Limiting the food we buy from shop wouldn't be nice.. Its like little loss for the shop owner.. When someone wanted a lot of heal but could heal only 75% ( Buy eating different foods )  and goes to another shop for heal or uses medic.

[FARQ3X]

Mihail i completely agree myself and some others have RPed operations but the thing is that unfortunately medic job would need something like
/buy meal
/smoke
To only add exytra health like armor and medic to be only thing to heal

I wish it happened

Well if You want Hard RP Server There is no Scripts only Teamspeak And imagination. +client Sucks.
For Hard RP Its needed organization.. And Everyone on Teamspeak.

The Server is Public We Get newbies allmost everyday , So its not much easy to learn every newbie to roleplay
And if "HARD RP" Its not fun constant Roleplay We got people that are 20+year old They got jobs in real life They just want to play and relax , And not everyone screaming for not roleplaying.

Maybe for people that are on Their PC whole day and dont know what to do.
