Stuff to do?

The city has a lack of things to do and ways to make money or everything is just stupid expensive. But for things to do, can we please get a venue like a nightclub/bar/cafe thing that can have jobs or not; that is not player owned? Something for people to hang out at? 

Also why is there not req stuff? 

  • Tennis
  • Basketball
  • Arm wrestling
  • Beer pong
  • Golf 
  • Gym 

These things being missing kinda go back into there being nothing to do if you do not wish to stand around with other people. 

Also can we get the pet store and purchasable pets? 

And more solo job? Hot dog stand, etc. Stuff that you can work at reliably on your time to make some money.

We have Taco Libre which is a public business that has 3 positions for players to clock in at and work. This also provides a place for people to hang out at in the city. We will be expanding on this public business type in the future so there are more opportunities for players to engage in this type of work.

This isn't as easy as just adding a new item to a store but we do have some of these new features in the dev pipeline and they will be coming in a future release, along with other recreational activities. Currently you can fish, which also makes you some money, scuba dive, parachute, hike, bike, and race so we do have activities out there for players.

Also can we get the pet store and purchasable pets?

We've been wanting to get a pet system for a while but most of them are either stolen from NoPixel and could risk us facing a DMCA and having our server violate FiveM TOS, or they're old outdated garbage. However, this is something we will be doing at some point once we find the right option or make our own.

And more solo job? Hot dog stand, etc. Stuff that you can work at reliably on your time to make some money.

You mentioned taxi and fishing only in your post so maybe you're not aware of all of the solo jobs we have available. As far as getting more solo jobs, yes there will be a lot more jobs coming with future releases but we don't want to continue to support solo only jobs on our roleplay server. There's not much roleplay benefit to playing this game solo... if that's what you're looking for this isn't the place for it. The jobs we are focusing on for the future will be a hybrid that will have interaction with others while also offering some solo ability. Even some of our current public jobs allow you to coop with friends, and reward you with more pay for doing so. These public jobs are available so you are not "forced to do criminal stuff just to make money" as they make a good amount and are legal which means you won't have the risk of being arrested and fined.


Public jobs - Minimum pay is $5000/hour (This will surely pay for a lot of noodles and gas while allowing you to save up for larger purchases)
Garbage (Unlimited and coop)
Taxi (Unlimited and solo)
Trucking (Unlimited and Coop)
Taco Libre (Limited to 3 clocked in)

Player owned businesses
I have no doubt you're right on these things. They take people to run them and are not open jobs for the public. Those owners have limited schedules and may never be online when you are. Just the nature of the game here guys... every business can't be open all the time. We have a requirement for them to meet and there are a larger number of businesses so they can hopefully all be active at some point during a time where some players are on the server. Therefore, its logical to expect this system to work the way it is where you see that some businesses are available and open while you are playing. Vanilla unicorn isn't officially owned and operated right now as its in a state of us decided how we can make it more of a public location.

The Economy
I understand why you're perplexed by the economy. It isn't an easy thing to wrap your head around. If you're thinking to yourself... I can buy an orange for 0.50 at the grocery store, why the hell is it $40 here?!!? I would ask yourself this... where can you make $5000/ hour picking up garbage?

This is my experience thusfar: - Sit here for a week after getting trained unable to clock in a lot of the time. - Try fishing but it's ZZZ- Sit around some more. - walk around and chat with cool people - Pay $200+ for gas with a $150 unemployment check. - Pay $40 for water and oranges, 200 for soba noodles, and 70-500 for a singular taco. Yes, real. This is the new player experience. Congrats.

Whitelist jobs
Training process needs work and is a problem.

-Agreed

Money isn't good enough.

- You're right and I'm going to make a small increase to help that.

Fishing is bored to some people.
-Agreed but there is money to be made.

Walk around and RP and meet cool people.

-Agreed and this is very important for a RP server.

Pay $200+ for gas with an unemployment check of $150.

-There are public jobs as outlined above to make much better money, however... $150 unemployment checks come every 10 minutes and a full take of fuel should easily last you more than 10 minutes of driving.

Pay $40 for water and oranges and 200 for noodles and 70-500 for a taco

-See above, the economy isn't based on the real world pay and costs. Show me a garbage driver making $5000/hr. Also, tacos are free at taco libre and the employee make a pay check so you don't need to pay them. If they won't give it to you free then go someone else for food, there are lots of other food places in town you just might have to ask around to find them.

There is actually a lot to do. I know of a couple of bars that are open quite frequently. Keep an eye on advertisements section in city as well as city events in discord. There are activities that can't be mentioned due to being Meta, you just need to meet the people and fall in to the group that you want. There is Taxi, Trucking, Taco Libre, Fishing... All of those you can make decent money off of. Other things are coming when the great devs are able to release it. Patience is a virtue my friend.

I am saying not player owned for a reason. Because nothing is open besides Pearls & Hookies that open regularly. Even when I log on sometimes during "normal times" I don't see like a healthy portion of these businesses ever actually open. 

Actually lets go down the list. . . 

Never Seen Open: 

Split Sides

Tequi lala 

The craft Bar

The hen house

The magic pussycat

vanilla unicorn

yellow jack

white widow

Pagassi

Grove Street 

Alta

(For dealerships I mean I never seen anyone manning them.) 

Seen Open: 

Pearls

Hookies 

PDM

Bahama Mamas

Ground  & Pound 

Best buds (once)

Smoke on the water (not personally but a friend has)

So yes, I think there needs to be an in city venue that is NOT player owned that people can vibe at. 

And no, for example: the spot I'm in a trainee but I cannot work at non-whitelisted jobs taxi and so on and people aren't flagged on when I'm around so I cannot do anything and no, I strongly believe you should not be forced to do criminal stuff just to make a few dollars because people don't want to do their jobs; especially when it does not fit the character. Going onto that, fishing is boring for me; mind numbingly so and does not have any depths. Sit there, press G and then press 6-9 rinse repeat for hours of your life doing nothing. No thanks; I'll pass. 

Legit the city cannot afford tennis rackets? Golf clubs? A gym? A library? Things that you would actually find in a normal city? But we have 40 dollar orange? I am perplexed by far. Businesses are ghost towns. There's no recreational things to do. There's no legal ways to make money if you are sitting at trainee for weeks; besides fishing. 

Saying "just wait" is very easy to do, but saying "just wait" for months at a time is kinda strange. I have no attachments like some of you that made your money so I hear during the stock markets, etc. I don't have lots of money, lots of cars, etc and am bright eyed and bushy tailed to the city; so I would actually take this advice to heart from someone that has nothing here instead of just saying "just wait" all the time. The server has been open for a year now or more from what I can tell. 

This is my experience thusfar: 
- Sit here for a week after getting trained unable to clock in a lot of the time. 

- Try fishing but it's ZZZ

- Sit around some more. 

- walk around and chat with cool people 

- Pay $200+ for gas with a $150 unemployment check. 

- Pay $40 for water and oranges, 200 for soba noodles, and 70-500 for a singular taco. 

Yes, real. This is the new player experience. Congrats.

As I am aware, there are 2 Bars up north of the city that should, respectfully, stay open 24/7. But I do get what you mean, probably something closer to inner city. But I feel like we need to start expanding to things outside the city. Right now it would seem that 90% of the content is centralized in the city. That's great and all, but that's like 1/4 of the entire map.

I cannot confirm specifics as no one other than staff knows completely, but there is more stuff coming. You just gotta be patient. That includes more public jobs which has been stated along with recreational activities.
