| Pickpocketing money limits | Started by: SoulBadBoy on Aug 09, '15 21:48 |
| I was wondering if it were possible to introduce an incremental increase in the amount of money you potentially lose when you are pockpocketed as you rank up. So for a gangster it could be a max of 1000 dollars but jumps to 5000 at Goomba, 10000 at earner, 15000 at wise guy then 5000 increases up to godfather. | |

Why should someone who is a higher rank be at risk of losing more money, solely because they are a higher rank? If the units were restricted to certain ranks then I may agree, but when it is feasible that you can get to 25 units in a day and thus be earning the same as a Made Man via drug runs, I have to say that it is not a good idea. Sorry. |

| Was just trying to think how it could be increased from the max of only 5000. A percentage of cash in hand then perhaps that maxes out at 50,000? | |

Do you see how much people bitch and moan when they lose 5k? The river of tears would quench the California drought if the limit was increased. Over the years we have tried and tried to approach ways to get the limits increased, but too many users get far to butt hurt over it, so nothing will get increased. |

| People really complain that much? Oh well, didn't know stuff had been tried before. Fair enough I understand your points and see why it might be impossible. | |

Pickpocket used to be called Mugging (before our current mugging feature), but it was outlawed by all of the crewleaders. It was pointless to have a feature that we wrote, yet no one was allowed to use. So we had to water it down so much so that one one could really complain about the amount - strip the feature down to absolutely to a minor inconvenience before the crewsleaders would even consider allowing the feature to be used - even then we had to step in and prevent the leaders from wholesale banning the feature. Increasing the amount would kick off a series events starting with the crewleaders banning the feature again. |

Would the coding of a mug option...without the PP first trigger, ever be reconsidered? Implemented alongside the existing PP feature of course. Sometimes I just see people floating about extremely rich and think it would be an interesting game dynamic to have the option to steal that away from them. |

interesting Thought Creds. Personally I'd be okay with that. Having mug available alongside of PP... becuase if you are leaving a ton of money on you... that's on you if you lose it.. Shit happens. Though you can't Bitch if you've got the money on hand and someone takes it... that's what a bank is for. So I say bring that feature on!

Be used the same as an assault timer. Same risk involved, just the potential to gain cash |

I wouldn't mind seeing a mug option being implemented, if it uses the Attack (wack) timer and thus is actually considered an assault, making it much more riskier. |

How would that affect the ability to mug as it is though? Would you still be able to mug without using an attack timer? Because honestly if someone is digging in my pockets I still want to be able to smack them around without it being a wack timer thing. I mean they did initiate and do deserve to be mugged if I can see them. So would you idea screw that up Credits? If so I want no part of that. I want to be able to mug just as I can do now. |
