Title: [++] Adding a new icon for the armed robbery.
Post by: Omar on 21 07, 2020, 07:44:37 am
The suggestion: Adding a new icon for the armed robbery, replacing the current one with something like this one: (https://gtamods.com/mediawiki/images/1/13/SA_radar_triads.png) https://gtamods.com/wiki/File:SA_radar_triads.png

(https://i.imgur.com/HAhYFFg.png) or (https://i.imgur.com/BmagWp2.png)

In case you don't want to use Triads icon.

The reason to get implemented: I've seen many criminals, that get mixed between the ammunition shop and the armed robbery icons since they both have the same icons. Several ammunition shops exist near armed robberies, so it makes it harder to define the current armed robbery location especially for newbies. I guess this is a simple replacement it's just an icon. In addition to that if you have a better icon you can post it below in a reply, I'll consider it for sure.

Hi Omar, I really like your idea. As I always say, small changes are good and must be made. Personally, AR's icons are now out of the ordinary and I think a little change needed. I want to vote positively. Good luck.

I would like to vote Positively for your post. I have really no idea what is the true meaning behind the reason that the icons of the Ammunition Shop and Armed RObbery are the same. I personally as an LV player, find it confusing at times. Even if some people od not find it confusing, I feel that there is no appropriate reason as to which their icons/logos should be the same.
Also, I do not see any harm in the update of this icon. It's definitely worth it and I feel that it should definitely be added. Icons should be very creative and should resemble/indicate what the even is all about. I'm not sure how a simple pistol is indicative enough to indicate an Armed Robbery. Perhaps we can possibly come up with something even better and precise.

Hello there,
The ammo-nation shop are totally confusing and kinda distraction to those who are new members or a newbie criminals which is they will go in the mistaken icon in Los Santos, if this can be add many criminals and newly members that wanna go in Armed Robbery this can be  a big help and guide, your suggested icon was kinda noticeable and detailed which is a good image relating in Armed Robberies not making a trouble and I see no harm in here and kinda quite cool. I'm supporting this idea. I'm Positive.

I'm SUPPORTING this suggestion as the current icon is kinda not related to what armed robbery icon should be, improving this icon won't give or result any harm in my opinion. The icon suggested is really great and connected to "armed robbery" concept. POSITIVE.

Post by: Hanns on 21 07, 2020, 02:06:10 pm
Yeah , I agree with you. The ammunation shop and armed robbery are literally the same, When I switched to LS I was like on support chat " how I could find the current AR" Updating the icon will make LV & SF players knowing where is the current AR without the need of asking in support chat. It's kinda distraction and confusing for them, So here's my vote!

Post by: Wilson on 21 07, 2020, 02:20:50 pm
This suggestion is good because the actual armed robbery icon is the same as the ammunation shop and sometimes can cause troubles because some people think that there is an armed robbery and is the ammunation shop icon in some villages for example. Positive
Title: Re: Adding a new icon for the armed robbery.
Post by: Raef on 21 07, 2020, 02:29:27 pm
I totally agree with you. The current logo which is the Ammunition logo is non-compatible with an armed robbery. Cause when we say 'armed robbery", we say stealing money, not a gun, which we can see it clearly in the logo you suggested. Besides, newbies may consider it an Ammunition shop that's why they go there to buy ammo and weapons. But in the end, they will see cops and criminals shooting each other so they will be confused. I am positive.

I've never witnessed a situation like this before, but like you said with reference to the imperceptible difference between both icons, It probably might confuse a new player who doesn't know much about the server, I see no problem with adding this.
Title: Re: Adding a new icon for the armed robbery.
Post by: Avices on 21 07, 2020, 02:45:08 pm
Good idea, Omar, I think it will be useful for AR. This helps us to have the AR symbol as a state house, I think should be Positive. For this
Title: Re: Adding a new icon for the armed robbery.
Post by: Louai on 21 07, 2020, 03:52:54 pm
I am voting Positive cause this will help the new players and some times the people who switch up between the gun and ar logo , and for me the armed robbery deserve a unique logo for it self , especially it takes place in LS the last months . but I think the logo will be better if he have some colors so it would be easier to see in the map . anyways I improve this idea  :tick:

Im voting Positive aswell,it does add a little confusion but a suttle change in the icons does help.
Title: Re: Adding a new icon for the armed robbery.
Post by: Toby on 21 07, 2020, 07:22:18 pm
I don't see why would 2 different things have same icon, I agree with your thoughts about it and hence I'm positive on changing the blip.
Title: Re: Adding a new icon for the armed robbery.
Post by: VenTePaCaKriz on 21 07, 2020, 07:42:21 pm
yes yes and you  will have an yes, for a long time the image of armed robbery has not been changed and the truth is that there are many armed robberies but they are actually ammunition shops, the same icon is the same for the AR and the ammunition shops,It is a bit confusing, having the same image of armed robbery and ammo-nation, but with the passing of time we have already got used to that icon, a positive vote for this suggestion,   changing to one best image for armed robbery would be a great help ,giving you a positive vote  :tick:

Post by: MgD on 21 07, 2020, 09:39:26 pm
Sometimes I get mixed between the current armed robbery and the ammunation shop icon. This should get changed it will help newbies to define the current armed robbery on there minimap. It's a benefit for both sides, so I'm positive.
Title: Re: Adding a new icon for the armed robbery.
Post by: RaMoS on 21 07, 2020, 11:22:18 pm
It is annoying that there is the same icon for two different things, yes the places are different as there is a GPS locating the AR but not all criminals or police have enough experience after there are newbies that must be thought of, there are also some criminals even if they have enough experience get mixed, Positive.
Title: Re: Adding a new icon for the armed robbery.
Post by: TheSuspect on 22 07, 2020, 11:16:03 am
You can already use /arl > press 'n' and follow it but that doesnt change the fact that we need a new icon for AR (Different one) so it become easier for everyone. I highly support this suggestion.
Title: Re: Adding a new icon for the armed robbery.
Post by: TroubleShot on 22 07, 2020, 12:00:53 pm
New players often ask what's the armed robbery icon, but when someone answer gun icon, most of them get mistaken and go to an ammu shop instead of the armed robbery. Ammu Shop and Armed Robbery Shop have the same icon (gun) but there's only a little difference which is the color of the gun's grip. I believe it is still confusing for new players, so probably a change to the icon will help them find which is ammu shop and which is an armed robbery. Im POSITIVE :tick:

Goodluck with the other votes  ;)

Post by: Stolenn on 22 07, 2020, 12:26:04 pm
Supporting this.When you are trying to find the AR icon on the map,your eyes are going on the ammunations directly and its being hard to find the AR among the ammunations.Any different icon might be more usefull.Thats not about /arl or gps,every place has its own icon,AR's should be like that too.Positive

Post by: Tommy on 22 07, 2020, 04:52:33 pm
Greetings, I like this idea a lot since the current AR icon doesn't match with the AR itself. So change it to a different icon or the one Omar suggested above is totally understandable and it makes more sense. Anyways, I'm voting Positive. Other than that good luck with other votes. Farewell!

Post by: Anya on 22 07, 2020, 06:09:02 pm
I like this suggestion because that's why it's called "Armed Robbery" not ammunation, When you say Armed robbery it means you'll robbing the place and the "gun" icon for me is not suitable for armed robbery. The icon fits the Armed robbery well so im Positive in this suggestion. This is just my opinion.

I purpose this (https://gtamods.com/wiki/File:SA_radar_triads.png) to be the most suited blip, and probably is not being used in CIT radar. (https://gtamods.com/mediawiki/images/1/13/SA_radar_triads.png)

I don't see how the triad blip makes more sense than the current armed robbery blip. In the past blips could be replaced with a custom image over an original blip, not sure if this is the case with the new radar stuff but if it is, I suggest finding a new icon and replacing it with this triad blip.

green dollar blip is used for CE's, and having the red dollar blip would be more suited to match the two most active criminal activities. Seems all good to me. @Omar what do you think?

I will go Positive.
The newbies are mixing between the ammunation and armed robbery, so this addition will be helpful for them, and sometimes the new cops/criminals aren't attending the ARs, because of the icon, and some changes on the map icons will be cool.

The ammo-nation shop are totally confusing and kinda distraction to those who are new members or a newbie criminals which is they will go in the mistaken icon in Los Santos, if this can be add many criminals and newly members that wanna go in Armed Robbery this can be  a big help and guide, your suggested icon was kinda noticeable and detailed which is a good image relating in Armed Robberies not making a trouble and I see no harm in here and kinda quite cool.

It's kinda funny and sad to see Newbies (Criminals or Cops) go to the Ammunation shop thinking that it's the Armed Robbery location, they stand there for some time before asking @Support chat or in team chat. I think that this new icon is a great idea to make players know wich place their going to, the ammunation shop or the Armed Robbery, and it's also looking cool for such event, it suits it.

Going Positive

Post by: Inno# on 03 08, 2020, 06:04:50 am
Seems useful enough for all the full-time LS players out there and also likewise tho. Having same icons for two vastly different events, leads to nothing but confusion in the usual sense. Adding another one instead of it is only, Logical. Cannot pose a threat to any other feature in any way, Seems highly beneficial. Hence, I will be voting Positively.
Title: Re: [++] Adding a new icon for the armed robbery.
Post by: Sleuth on 07 08, 2020, 11:44:26 pm
Definitely positive here. It indeed does create confusion for new players or even old ones sometimes if they aren't focusing. There's honestly no reason to have the same 2 icons for 2 different things and should've been implemented way before as there are special icons for locations that are related to the server's purpose and here, Armed Robberies are one of the most important activities of the CnR and should be cared about and improved.
Title: Re: [++] Adding a new icon for the armed robbery.
Post by: Linh-sama#<3 on 08 08, 2020, 04:31:44 am
Your idea makes a lot of sense and needs to be added to the game, as you said the current emblem of armed robberies is a lot like the gun shop emblem, some players have long been confused of these two icons, for beginners, the locations of armed robberies are also unknown, so adding the icon change feature of armed robbery locations is essential.
So my vote is Positive :tick: :thumb:
Title: Re: [++] Adding a new icon for the armed robbery.
Post by: LDLnguyen on 08 08, 2020, 09:19:58 am
I think the use of new icons for AR is very reasonable and should be applied to the game as quickly as possible, AR is an event where a lot of players participate because it is easy to earn money and necessary drugs (like criminals). I used to confuse ammunition with AR in my early days and it was really confusing, the new icon for AR is very realistic and I think CE also needs a new icon (because it looks like BC in LV ), because I think events with such a large number of participants also need to make a difference to be recognized the most.
Of course, Positive  :tick:

Post by: Weezy on 08 08, 2020, 01:44:48 pm
This would be a great idea so I am voting positive right now, as for me I still always get lost finding the new location of AR as it's the same icon of ammunation even my friends laugh at me because I always get lost as I am following another icon. There ain't noting wrong having some small changes, not just for me but I think a lot of players still get confused and get lost at the same time. I am positively honest when I say that I always get lost on going to the current AR.
