Driving Test

[Oleg]

This is just a thought idea after hearing about Softhart's terrible driving tonight

I'd like to see a driving test mission chain. There would be an area where the tests/missions take place, and until you complete the mission you can't drive a car anywhere else.

On completing the mission you get a license to drive anywhere, and some kind of skill reward e.g. an Intelligence point.

The missions shouldn't be particularly difficult, this isn't supposed to be a barrier to driving or something that will frustrate people and be a hindrance, it's just supposed to be a bit of fun and added depth.

Missions would include simple tasks like driving round a course, avoiding obstacles, making jumps, etc. If you've played the Grand Theft Auto games then you'll know the type of thing I mean, similar to the driving school type missions in GTA (though some of the GTA missions are irritatingly difficult so you can forget about those ones )

Sound like fun?

 

[shoti]

geez Oleg , take your gun and go kill something...u seems bored

 

[-AgentPink]

i think it sounds cool oleg i need a driving school lol

 

[GeorgeSkywalker]

good idea. Could be a lot of fun finally we'll find out all the female drivers can't even pass this simple driving course

 

[mastermesh]

hmm... next thing you know someone will suggest having to get a gun permit, lol.

 

[Deity A]

hmm... next thing you know someone will suggest having to get a gun permit, lol.

Or taking first aid class before you can use a first aid pack

 

[Carl]

can we atually hit pedestrians
offs puleese

can i quote an australian statment here as well

the old man was all over the road
i had to swerve several times before i hit him

nuff sais i think

 

[DavinFelth]

awesome

Awesome idea!
When am I gonna get a gta style mission:
pick this up... and deliver it here style?

 

[Warpath]

i like it Oleg, would be cool to have a proffession linked to it too, Driver that improves with the more missions u pass.

hmm... next thing you know someone will suggest having to get a gun permit, lol.

can't remember exactly, but didn't we get a weapons permit or something during the hunting mission chain in gateway?

 

[Ludvig|MindArk]

Or taking first aid class before you can use a first aid pack

there is an action game developed by the american army that require you to watch 3 movies and answer a bunch of questions before being allowed to play as a medic

the game sucks now though used to be awesome

 

[Dustmop]

I don't know about a driving test, maybe add something to Gateway for newbies to try out cars just for fun. They should however add more race tracks and areas to do jumps and other fun tricks.

Yup. And a recipt for the recipt

How 'bout a new Entropia Vehicle Profession?

Pizza Delivery Specialist.

(Maybe I could actually make some ped doing that...)

 

[Mandy]

I like the idea.

Despite the naysayers and non-believers it seems vehicles are a big hit. Anything that makes them even more fun and encourages further use, and therefore also generates more income for MA/FPC is a win/win.

areas to do jumps and other fun tricks.

Yes! Roads are for people who can't make their car fly.

You can have the fast food, I want to be a Courier.

I so want a black and gold pimped out Omegaton Mule MPV for the SIT (Swift Intergalactic Transport) fleet.

 

[Jambayze]

good idea. Could be a lot of fun finally we'll find out all the female drivers can't even pass this simple driving course

You mean IRL females, even if they have a male avatar? Or female avatars even if they are IRL Males? This is getting confusing.

 

[GeorgeSkywalker]

that could be an interesting experiement to see the results perhaps we'll find ingame females who are male in real life fail the driving test

Why...

If you guys like features of other games .. GO PLAY OTHER GAMES..
why do you all insist on making EU a cookie cutter copy of other stuff completely unrelated to the EU.

Things like this that are happening now are gonna sink EU. They add something from another game and it is garnateed it will not work like the other game becoming a disappointment to most except the simple minds that are easily amused. Like all the other fads they have put in game they will wear off and be of no benefit to the over all EU experience..

Leave EU as it is and let the copy cat gimmiky stuff be what attracts people to otherplanets before it slides completly into the shitter... The rim is slippery enough now as it is.

 

[Draggger]

hmm... next thing you know someone will suggest having to get a gun permit, lol.

i think both are grand idea;s drivers permet and a permit to kill is what is needed


200 peds each keep the sweaters from hunting till they have 200 peds to buy the permet

just kidding but the permit to drive is interesting

If you dislike what is happening in EU so much, why don't YOU go and play something else and leave EU to those of us that like the fact that MA and FPC are now making good on features/ideas/promises that have been mentioned for years.

sounds like fun, it would be another achievment that can be gained, if you failed the test you could just shoot the instructor if it was pvp but only if you had your weapons permit.

So, how did I do?

You drive like a nutter and can't park, so I'm afraid you failed Miss Swift.

But surely that doesn't matter when you are off road with no speed limits and no car parks?

You have gained experience in your Bribery skill.

Sorry, you still failed.

Are you sure?

You have gained experience in your Persuasion skill.

No, I was only joking! Here's your license.

Your Licenses have been updated.
Congratulations, you have acquired a new skill; Road Rage

What?? Terrible? My passenger(s) where having as much fun as I was. And I was driving like I stole it, as in GTA......LOL!!

Thats about how long it took me to roll mine!!! Thats after I found out I needed gas to move it!! LOL I was tired and having some noobie moments.



Perfect driving into the tp, not a scratch on Archman's car


Jason's Car into the ring, even turned it around and back out again

Now where is your proof my driving sucks


Had to go buy my own after crashing theirs

 

[Jason Jay Carr]

ok ok Softy your Schumacher incarnate i suppose

so you going to enter the race weekend now?



p.s last night was fun thx

 

[SoftHart]

LOL what is race weekend? And whats this I hear about a racetrack?

 

[jenny ferr]

I don't know about a driving test, maybe add something to Gateway for newbies to try out cars just for fun. They should however add more race tracks and areas to do jumps and other fun tricks.

Make the racetracks in some secluded area then so we can avoid it as it causes lag for alot of us as soon as a car enters our radar, and pls traders at twin move city if the carowners have to use twin as their parking as it's always a gamble if I should be alloed online or not when entering twins these days(yes I dont own a car)
And make cars pvp targets everywhere as it is SOOO frustrating having people aggro mobs on you to just drive off leaving you a heavy decay bill or wasted ME (yes I know I dont really want this but I been so pissed at a few people for doing this)

I agree with alot of this too, sadly they need to copy/paste from all other games out there
