Make a restriction to switch side

How to ruin gameplay and make players frustrated until they quit playing in few simple steps.

Obviously if this gets implemented I'll make GLM have tolerance 0 on law groups that are inactive since it's clear you keep blaming a group for your inactivity, so after you make Arran add this you should be super-active as the "1337's threat" is gone.

Dear Brian,
Your support to that group is amazing and I don't know why. They are trying to find abuses and exploits the server. Did you check Dimits video?  You forgot how the exploit LS turfing system rewards (glue in cars) or a mute of 60 days got revoked into 2 weeks. Final, it's amazing how a topic with +40 votes you just locked and maybe you will do the same here. Good job.

 PS: I wonder who guys downvote that...

When you die as criminal in the CE, and go there as cop, you won't be able to join, it'll let you wait 89 seconds just like as if you died as a cop, what's the point of switching from crim to cop in the riot area anyway? that's normal, maybe got bored from attending the riot as crim, same goes to ARs, maybe criminals are cracking and I don't want to waste 4 minutes afking there, so I switch cop.

I just got out from a CE lasted 25 minutes cuz everyone kept entering back in 3 minutes after they died. Got 11 kills in police side and 5 kills in criminal side at the same CE. Although waiting 1 hour to switch sides might sound like too long. Maybe 30 minutes or something?

a CE can only last 18 minutes max and then it ends how did the ce you are in last 25mins

Are you threatening people with abusing your influence on the GLM team to enforce reprisals on groups for democratically supporting a script that prevents people from rapidly switching between the fractions repeatedly to boost the size of the larger team in CE/AR in order to artificially farm more kills in it?

I know 1 hour is too much but 5 min does nothing

5 mins are enough for a CE to end after you die, if it lasts longer then why can't you join back in to help your team?

Its not about "your" team, the suggestion is about people switching between BOTH teams

Yesterday in BR you were playing in the criminal team while cops were outnumbered, and when cops eventually rushed and killed several criminals including you, and became the larger dominating team, you switched to the cop job and returned moments later to BR, making the cop team even more powerful

Does this look like a working method to keep the teams in CE balanced?


Same problem existed on the military/rebel system in the old times
people switched randomly to the fraction that was outnumbering and spawn raping except for those ones who were restricted from switching the sides by their group theme back when groups still had some last bits of meaning to them and sticked to group themes and fractions (the one hour restriction did not prevent the score farming problem on the military turfs though, but thats another story)
Nowdays the CnR groups are a  complete freeroam/sandbox mode so the problem explained above can only be prevented with a script comparable to the restriction on the military system

Maybe because the limit is unbalanced?
You can join as a cop unless they are 4 more.
To join as a criminal, the teams have to be the same or crims have to be outnumbered.
Anyways, the problem is clearly in the lack of cops, all of this would be fine if more players were interested in the law side, at least in my opinion.
If you make a cooldown between switching, atleast make it 10 mins or less, anything more is too much, don't make the game even more boring.

dude a Criminal event can take 18 minutes, so 5 minutes of restriction will do not affect, 15 minutes is fair for everyone.

[Wilito.]

If the point of your suggestion to stop that feature from affecting the CE, then why don't you make it more specific for that? I mean to add a restriction of not being able to re-join CE when you switch sides, I mean if you died as a criminal you can only join back as a criminal and vice versa not to make that a general suggestion. Maybe I died as a criminal and I wanna switch side also don't want to rejoin the CE, why should I be bothered and have to wait for the CE to end or for X amount of minutes when I'm not intending to "abuse" anything here?

I would like it only happens in CEs but it happened in ARs too and in riots, so it's better to make it by whole

1 hour is really long but 5-10 min waiting time can be

Good one so those civilian groups or law/crim group member stop abusing the criminal event appearing again with another job after getting killed in the CE
but disagreeing with something which is that 1 hour, 1 hour is too much actually and it will make players lazy and it will make it even lame for those group members
which will cause us some problems, but I think 15 minutes or 20 minutes are fair enough, upvoting.

[CJGIANNHS]

I Think 15 mins are fair enough time, 1hour is alot of time...
15 mins is fair for everyone cause the CE maximum time is 18mins.. so its ok, im voting +1 

[Sinon]

totally agree  , what a great idea tbh

[Redtay]

 I agree with restricting it with 15 minutes. Upvoting
