Future updates

Quote from Scottybbooyy

I agree, however, unfortunately the RRV canceling still makes the feature unusable for me and atleast a few others I play with. As whenever we have an RRV on an alliance call (almost always) we can't use auto EMS standdown for our own missions, as it'll pull the RRVs from the alliance missions too.

Maybe something to leave for a bit then reapproach with a 'Thanks for fixing it, but could we have a small tweak?' in a few weeks/months or something?

So the easiest way around this is to send something other than a RRV or Ambulance.

The main issue was the game would cancel the following units.(PRV,SRV,Welfare,Ambulance Control Unit, CBRN unit, OTL and Ambulance Officer) the remaining such as RRVs, Ambulances and GPs would leave however would not be a loss as these did not contribute to the units required to complete the mission unlike the ones stated

Not exactly "easy"! I alone have 1289 RRVs, spread out. If we look at the original issue I commented on the QOL pack thread:

"- Fix auto EMS standdown for multiple units (RRV, GP, Community First Responders, MCU, Ambulance Officers, and Welfare)", so it was included originally.

As I said, it's nothing urgent, and probably best to leave for a bit of time in order to keep relations somewhat positive, however, still a change that I'd definitely like to see. I'm not the only one that uses RRVs for this purpose, and I know a LOT of alliances suggest RRVs to alliance missions to many players for credits (also helps improve alliance cash via tax, as more players on a mission = more tax paid), so this isn't just a "me" issue. I've had multiple people complain about it too. RRVs are used for the extra cash for patient treatment on top of the missions.

I can see why people are saying that RRVs should not be recalled.
But I think the devs have designed it with regards to how real life works.

Forgive me if I am mistaken but once ambulance resources are no longer needed at a scene, is there any reason for a RRV to stay?

I cant think of any reason.

With my limited experience of ambulances being called to where I am, the Rapid Response vehicle and medic will stay on scene to aid the paramedics, unless urgently needed elsewhere. Typically had them leave when the patient is loaded into the ambulance, about to leave.

Also on the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service website, it states similar. They will stay on scene, although they can be reassigned once ambulance is on scene.

I’ve heard enough about the stand down bug. The aim of the fix was to get the units that were required to complete a mission to stay on the mission whilst the player uses the auto standown to send away unneeded ambulances. The way above you have commented about what you put on the thread originally makes it sound like we went out of our way to make a change that only you requested which was not the case in the slightest, we never said it would be implemented in the exact way you specifically asked for it, and you aren’t the only person across all three games to bring it up.

In an ideal world only ambulances would be stood down, but after (and I am not over exaggerating) spending hours trying to get this sorted over the last two years at least, this is a win and we are going to leave it at that for a while and focus on more important content. This is exactly what we mean by players never seem to be happy with anything we do.

You've gravely misunderstood my attitude, and intentions here. This is not how I meant anything I said. I'm more than grateful for everything you do, as well as the rest of the team.

I even tried to make this clear by stating that it's something to try again in the future but not yet... I only mentioned what I requested as it was said that RRVs weren't originally mentioned... I'm not that egotistical to think that you made a change because of me.

I understand this and have seen Aliances that promote this however my point stands. The aim was to have units that are needed stay and those that don't leave. It's taken months to a year to get this feature fixed especially when people pay for the cost of it.

The kindest way I can say this is replace them as I for one and I'm sure a few others on here who have been waiting to see this issue fixed will say the same. Most players at a guess use RRVs for CC staff which I do. Having the RRV standown means i can send it directly to another call or even stack another call for it to go directly to. I also use them to clear C3 C4 calls.

Personally I hope it stays the way it is as I don't want to see this feature break and us having to wait months again for it to be sorted.

Won't go down well?

Anyway, I've said already going to leave this for a while so more important things can be focused on.

I think we just need to leave that conversation there what’s the point in arguing.

I personally just want to see a new update ie SAR something fresh something new.

I really hope we see a update really soon it’s been so long.

Hi. I suggested the ability to change mission speed dependent on services as well as overall speed.

So separate Police, Fire, Ambulance.

I was wandering if there was any update or possibility of this?

I’m no longer interested in playing the game as I play realistically and become completely overwhelmed with fire jobs and have barely any ambulance.

Quote from DispatcherStraps

I have not a lot to add but.

1. Don’t devalue forum posting players vs Facebook players. Some of us don’t want to be posting on Mark Zuckerberg censorhappy network or be members of it at all. A lot of us aren’t members at all.

2. SAR / MR etc. all call on hailing frequencies that police and fire dispatch hear here in Chicago. If you are on Lake Michigan and you call 911 from your cellular phone and say your yacht broke down and two people are having life threatening events? The dispatch center is going to be the one getting coast guard boats moving not you. You don’t directly call on the coast guard usually. If you’re lost hiking in the woods? Do you call 911 or do you call some search and rescue number? Here we call 911 and they dispatch or call out to forest services / SAR.

What you’re saying is tier two and isn’t an emergency IS AN EMERGENCY.

3. Tow trucks and vehicle breakdowns. We already deal with breakdowns of public buses. Throw the tow trucks in as a low priority update. The more you can add onto the simulation the better it is. You can’t make it worse by adding things. Just have ability for people that don’t want such missions to opt out of them in their settings. Put people in control of what they receive instead of deciding for them what they will receive. I frankly find it odd to be receiving calls about a public bus breakdown but never anything about a stalled private vehicle needing a tow, which is a commonality on our roads that the police tend to until the tow truck shows up. They have to sit there sometimes for an hour diverting traffic.

I really don’t see what the gigantic fuss is about. And in my opinion I find a lot of this thread offensive.

This is for the UK version so how its done in Chicago is irrelevant.

This whole thread is irrelevant to me as I’m a US version player. Our discord server forum bot didn’t show what forum the thread is in and I didn’t check first. My mistake. Laters!
