Response area and call types

Quote from Corbz3

This has been discussed for a long time for the US version. At this point in time, I don’t believe the devs will look at doing urban or rural stations. That is why we only have specialisations.

The game is set up to try and cover all basis, majority of it based for a city set up.

Completely understand what you are both trying to get across.

A lot of us have been playing for a lot longer and we have just gotten a custom to the way the game is played.

The original game is based in Germany.

It’s a free game and it’s the developers choice of what they want to do.

The way I'm proposing it, it is just a specialisation. And yes, it is mainly based on city setups, however, a lot of Australia is not city, and they opened up that can of worms when they introduced Bushfire missions and vehicles.

Exactly. Hence they should do this for at least the US and AU, plus any other server that has Bushfire type missions and trucks

On the UK we dont really have dedicated brush trucks however we do have units we can use to simulate it. I would love to see rural/urban rolled on on our server

No thanks. I'm not looking for realism like this.

We literally have stations in Australia that get 20 calls a year.

Is this the realism you want?

If you don't want urban jobs - don't build urban stations, and vice-versa

An option is to build a Fire station, give it Rural extension, transfer/delete the starting truck, and then fill the station with Rural trucks. Set the station to specialisation Forestry and wamo, Rural calls from this station.

Uhm this is australia... And your not getting the point we want Bushfire calls mixed in with small fires and house fires so we dont get Highrise fires in the bush

Got ya,

No need to be rude to everyone. You are very stand offish on both the game and forums. You have been playing this game for two seconds. Just take a chill pill and listen to the member that have even playing for a long time.

All of us have barked up the same tree. The AUS support team have moved boulders to get some of the things we have now. It used to be a carbon copy of US version. You also have to remember that the Devs are the devs of all 20 versions of the game. They don’t have time to adjust every time request we all have.

Just take it as it comes and play the game! Getting lippy at everyone won’t get you any where

I would like people to respect one another when posting in these forums and I would like to remind everybody that this section of the forums is for the AU version of Mission Chief. Comments like build a "Forestry Extension and hey presto you have a Rural Station" is purely in the US version content and should be left out of this conversation.

While it is wonderful to ask for the "Game" to mimic real life like urban vs rural i wonder if you are really going to operate your Rural Stations that way? As an example there is a CFA station in Victoria not all that far from me that has 2 vehicles a Pumper Tanker and a Support vehicle. how would they handle your Rural Bushfires in that area? don't tell me because being part of Emergency Services I know exactly how. My point is this a game that a software company owns and while free to play they do look for ideas to make money.

The AU Content Advisor team has worked very hard over the last 12 months to get more Australian style content into the game and fought many battles to get bugs and problems straightened out for members. We have had a number of wins but have also lost the discussion points in some cases as well. At the end of the day the Software Company and the Developers have the final say on what happens.

In the US version, most of the larger fire calls are also based on POI. Is this the case in the Aussie version as well? If so, you can always help control your generated calls by limiting your POIs.

The game is designed to be a simulator not a 100% realistic game. If we were to take the Urban and Rural extension to the devs and it were to pass but I am 99.9% sure it won't. We would need to go through every mission there is and make them again for rural and urban extensions. This is not practical and only makes the game close to 100% a handful of people such as yourselves.

Ah, ok. In the US version High Rise Fire missions are based on the High Rise POI. Sorry that doesn't help you

I get that is just an idea

It still will be brought to the Devs so it has a fair chance to go but I wouldn't get any hopes up unfortunately
