Finally gave it a go yesterday night as I was trying to recover my old UCP account. No luck there.
The Bad
Players spawn and are given no direction. I believe there should be some handholding at the start as the player may feel lost and not know what to do. I had read the Discord before and knew about /dmv fortunately;
- Solution: Guide the player at the beginning to the DMV or give them a list of available jobs and how they can find them.
The DMV test is unnecessarily tedious in my opinion. The practical exam wasn't so bad but it doesn't really teach anything. I find the boxes a little off putting to the experience as it looks like a debug visual feature. What is the purpose of this exam? The theoretical exam had some purpose as it made me read the vehicle code and actually learn the law in Los Santos;
- Solution: The theoretical exam should be reworked to include only IC questions. The information to answers these questions should be readily available or there should be some sort of indication as to where the player may find them. The vehicle code doesn't have all the answers to my knowledge. The practical could be looked into as well.
After a few years of using hotkeys, it's a little frustrating to have to type commands like /lock instead of pressing a keybind;
- Solution: Give players the ability to assign hotkeys to commands.
The Good
The server gave me old LS-RP vibes which is good. I like how money is harder to come by. I hope there's no crazy inflation in a few months. The UX/UI is nice and I like how I'm not forced to cycle endlessly in menus whenever I want to do something.
The chatlog feature on the UCP is really cool.
I only played for about an hour so take everything with a grain of salt.
