One Big Improvement The Impound Need

The one big improvement it needs is to have more than one location. Nothing is more frustrating than to be in Sandy Shores, Paleto Bay, or Grapeseed and have a run in with the cops, get killed, and have to drive all the way back to South Los Santos to retrieve it. There Should be an impound lot at the police station in Paleto Bay and a impound lot in Sandy Shores maybe one at Del Perro beach does anyone agree with me?

My only problem with that is the lack of bulletproof tyres. I hate having my tires popped.

What we need is the ability to pay the $250 so that the mechanic can pick up the car and bring it to us.

Multiple locations should have been added long ago. Amazing how my Sanchez will be in Paleto Bay one second, then the next it's in South Los Santos.

tyres. tires.

 

Make up your mind.

The only reason the impound is anything other than a bullsh*t frustrating feature is that it occasionally forces you to drive cars you otherwise never would for a bit of variety, and that it's quite funny to grief other people with. Plus it means that not every player is always in a PV so you can sticky/RPG with no consequences.

 

TBH though I wouldn't be sad it if it was removed. Theres nothing more frustrating in the whole of online than somebody killing you out of nowhere, you respawn and because you fired shots before you died/killed an NPC or something your car is instantly impounded. So frustrating when it happens.

 

More impounds is a good idea, or an option to send your mechanic for a higher fee would be nice.

Every police station parking should be an impound. Also add a way to retrieve an impounded car by phone for a price.

 

Understand its purpose. It is a way to give death more meaning and more like single players. If there wasn't a system to punish death, players would just stop, let cops kill them then continue on their way. Making cops a minor inconvenience.

Virtually every accessible site on the map needs reorganising...

  • Apartments/10 car garages need spreading more evenly over the whole of San Andreas (in other words, we need access to those motherf*cking mansions out of town).
  • Tank drop points are fairly well spread but a couple more usable heli-pads wouldn't go amiss, or even just random spawn heli-pads.
  • I don't even know about boat pick-up points... I mean, the two I'm aware of are both in Southern LS, though I could be corrected on this one if there are more in Blaine County.
  • There needs to be way less arm wrestling sites. I mean, like 70% less.
  • There could probably be less of a concentration of tennis courts within the city.
  • More HPV pick-up points would be nice, especially in some of the largely abandoned underground car parks and other interesting locations around the city.
  • Another mask shop wouldn't be a crazy idea.
  • Car washes... I mean, the fact that there are just two on the entire map and they're virtually next door to each other renders them redundant straight away. They would actually be a nice little addition to GTA if A) There a few more around the map, and B) They had a purpose. LSC is basically a car wash already when it makes me pay for an imaginary "repair" every single time I pull a car in there. Not to mention our own garages will clean our cars for us too. My point is that nobody is ever going to drive all the way to that specific area just to pay for a cut scene, during which they can probably be killed, or if not, immediately after.
  • ATMs are even more redundant than car washes, lol.

At the end of the day, the impound is the least of my worries. If it's such a big deal to travel there, just have the vehicle destroyed then pay the insurance fee and have it delivered. Too expensive? Well, you can't have your cake and eat it now!

 

What the impound system really needs is to make the actual impounding more logical, so that your vehicle is only taken if:

  • You are directly killed by a cop.
  • You are within a specific distance of the car, if not in it. (Whatever this distance is now, it seems extremely inconsistent. The area covered by the mini-map should be the distance).
  • Perhaps you must also have accessed the vehicle since your last death too?
  • When paying the fine, the impound currently demands that the cash be in you wallet even though it actually takes the fee from your bank. This is obviously a glitch that needs addressing.

in a perfect world, the impound lot wont exist in gtao as it offer no benefit to the users.

 

since i know they wont remove that PoS feature i think they should give you a 60second window from the moment you get killed to get back to the car.

 

allow the invisible mechanic to retrieve the car for a fee.

 

one thing is sure, the insta-impound thing have to go.

The impound does have a slight use in pvp situations. The cops killing and then impounding a chrome adder buys me enough time to leave an area without being chased.

 

That's the only thing I think it's useful for.

I think the car should be hauled away on a wrecker so you can steal it back.

Try outrunning cops with spikes on the ground because a car from off the streets doesn't have bulletproof tires.

I like the impound, it's like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get (to blow up with your jerry can and backfire on the way out)

That is quite probably the dumbest idea I have ever seen proposed on these forums.

 

Have you never gotten a wanted level just because you were near some police that were fighting other players? or respawned with a wanted level?

 

The 'gaining a wanted level' thing is as bullsh*t as the Mental State feature.

Why? If you're arrested IRL you don't lose the car in most cases.

Why not just make it an option to call your mechanic to pay the fee and bring it to you.

I like some suggestions people make, they're awesome. This is not a bad idea, it could work somewhat like pegasus, they will impound your car into the nearest car impound.

 

But In here they're worthless, please send them to rockstar (There's a dedicated mail for suggestions), they may listen to that suggestion !
