Im going to make a statement. One that is preached among the majority of Altis life servers. NEW LIFE RULE!
This New update however is preventing players from dictating how they wish to pursue their new life.
Yes previously they may have been a serial killing pill popping psychopath. But maybe this time under the NLR they wish to pursue a legitimate role in society.
I can understand the thought that this would increase roleplay, however if once purchasing a rebel licence you are a rebel even in a new life, then 90% of the playerbase are going to be rebels.
I have a rebel licence, Yet the majority of the time I am kitted legally as I see it sufficient enough to deter police, hijackers and attempted robberies.
This allows me to roleplay situations with police, other civilians and other rebels also.
However if I know I am going to be entering into a situation or I expect to enter into a situation where more firepower is needed I have access to that.
The largest misinterpretation here is the fact that in real life, rebels are not always going to stay to specific areas, they are not going to always wear softshell protection when entering a city. They will hide their identity and attempt to fit into society as any of us would to reduce exposure of both themselves and their affiliations. For all you know your neighbour could be an international terrorist, serial killer ect.
I honestly believe this needs to be revised, as if we cannot even govern our own roleplay scenarios, the playerbase of those who actually roleplay will fade away.
Just my 2 bobs worth.
