Chill Spots

"Chill Spots"

Sup, I feel like the criminal class needs a small boost. I'm sure this can make criminals happy!

What are they?
- Hidden areas where criminals are "masked" so they are safe, similar to PD's safe zone
- Spots (checkpoints) in San Andreas - cities and the countyside areas except Los Santos (to avoid abuse and feature spam)
- Chill spot checkpoints can only be seen as wanted (orange or red)
- They only appear on the map once you're close enough
- You can enter the spots by foot or car
- You need at least orange wanted level to use the zone
- You can enter by yourself or with other crims - the spot loads for 20 seconds, then masks you for 60 secs max
- You have to stay in the zone to get masked when loading, if you don't, you have to wait till it reloads after 5 mins
- You can stay in there for 60 secs and leave whenever you want
- After a mask is used, the chill spot is turned off for 5 minutes
- This can be put on /tutorial for the Robbing section
- Most wanted crims can only be masked for 45 secs max!

When masked in the zone
- You become invisible on the minimap to others
- Your /loc (location) is disabled so you can't be found easily by others
- You can still be seen!
- You cannot be tazed, cuffed, arrested etc. but you can get hurt by LEO, hitmen weapons etc!
- Your wanted level stays the same but your name goes to a white color
- Others can't see your name from a far distance
- After the end of the mask, you lose 1 wanted level like the wanted stars

After the spot is fully used or after you leave it everything goes back to normal.

Give me your opinions peeps!

I didn't get the overall point of this suggestion.
Why should criminals have a safe zone ? and only for 60 secs?
Also what can they do there?

I was thinking of places where you can escape LEOs, for example if like 5 Army members are following your group you could just hide somewhere and wait it out. It will make the game play fun as there's more tension if you will be found or not. 60 secs is short but the time can be changed, we don't want it too long because criminals could get bored and the place is abused. They can't do anything there, they can only wait until they're safe.

It's mainly a suggestion for escaping LEO pursuits, making cop chases fun. It gives the criminals a chance to escape and prepare mainly!

I just have one question(I'll mention my opinion after your response). assume an enforcer followed you there .. then it's won't change anything , right?

If you are followed to the spot then yes - it will be useless, that makes sure that the feature is balanced. Also, there's the spot's loading time to consider too. It's up to you to evade cops/hitmen/others and escape quickly.

Hmm , all what you mentioned takes place when the player is in the spot or is applied to him for 60 sec from leaving the spot ?

At least one person enters > loading time starts > loading time finishes and you with the other crims in the spot become masked for 60 seconds when you're in the spot, you can leave before the 60 secs is up or stay > 60 secs is up or you leave early = unmasked. That spot then gets turned off for 5 minutes to stop abuse.

Sorry for this being confusing, it's actually a simple and fun add but it's just different from your usual "fix" suggestion: innovation! This is designed to be a getaway method for crims that is balanced to all parties. So you can quickly escape from cops and other threats easier and all you need is a wanted level. Maybe we can add some mask time as you mentioned Osama when you leave the spot y not? It's only a rough idea but it really highlights the server's name cops and robbers.

I think it would be better to have it (mask) after 60 seconds from leaving the spot .. simply because enforcers will easily remember these locations within few days which will lead to recognising any attempt to use the mask by any player .. anyway , criminals deserve a helping hand , +1 (I'm only against not being able to arrest or drag)
