Add stress tiers to speeding

Description:

Add escalateing values of gaining stress based on the speeds you are going and seat belt/harness use.

Reason:

*Update from comments:

Doing crime and certain activities gives you stress.

Seeing as speeding is a crime, it only makes sense that going certain speeds for extended amount of times gives you stress

People are driving through the city for little to no consequences and no good reason other than to reach their destination faster. Taking race lines, blowing through every red light.

Sure, they are breaking every traffic law.

But adding a negative effect as you escalate your speed will annoy people enough to either use items that impair their driving, or invest in items that ignore speed value stress gains.

Such as having a seat belt will prevent stress gain up to 90.

But a harness will prevent stress gains for speeds up to 130.

YES, I AM aware bikes don't technically have seatbelts. But I'm sure we can RP that you just have a better grip on the bars and sitting properly.

Balance:

We all know how annoying ot is to remember taking off your seat belt and harnesses.

As most of us know, ignoring high stress values is detrimental.

Such as disoriented vision and blacking out.

This all effects your actions especially in chases and shootouts.

You need to make the hard choice of do we car swap and risk blacking out and /falling over, or keep driving to manage stress?

If you have high stress and decide to get into a shootout immediately, you are at high risk.

And this will effect both cops and crims.

Consuming some of the items restrict your camera movement in first person while in a car. It also holsters your weapon. If you draw you weapon after its holsterd, your camera angle is still restricted until the item is full consumed or canceled.

Is this a SHITLOAD of multitasking?

Fuck yeah it is.

But it makes you have to think what you're doing and change the pace of how things go.

Side notes:

Let's be honest, constant car swaps are lame as hell and I'm sure shooting out tires is getting old on both sides.

But more importantly, I'm tired of constantly being smashed into at high speeds.

Riding a motorcycle and stopping at a red light is a death sentence when server is at high population.

    I definitely +1 this! The amount of times I've been crashed into by people speeding is crazy. Aslong as we make stress balanced on bikes itll be great!

    Also it gives people more reason to smoke joints, so that could increase the rp to either buy weed or grow it!

    On of my favorite things about Echo vs other cities is the fact that they don’t go overboard with screen effects such as stress. Imo it’s very disorienting and I’ve always hated the thought of stress levels rising and making my screen unplayable.

    Not a fan of this. In the end it’s a video game, there’s other ways to handle this issue in city. Not trying to be nearly incapacitated because I’m trying to escape police while they’re coming at me over 150mph.

    I hope you aren't serious cornball. I bet you drive a subaru IRL. GET A GRIP. If you want to drive the speed limit, get out of the basement and go outside. At the end of the day, its a game. A pretty fun game. If you don't want to get hit on your motorcycle, DON'T STOP AT THE LIGHT BUD. You really are a male version of a Karen. Fitting your name is Kevin.

      I mean, I made a suggestion with valid points. If I wasn't "serious" I wouldn't have made the post bud.
      I have quite a good grip thank you. I haven't dropped my phone once today.

      I do not in fact own a Subaru. It's more in line of a newer Vapid Sadler, a hint of Bravado Bison, and a splash of the Vapid Bobcat.

      I do indeed like to go the speed limit if not 5-10 over. 5-10 under around and passing pedestrians and cyclists.

      Congratulations! You got my name right! Sorry, no new car though. Maybe next time.

      You're close, but no cigar. I live on the first floor.

      Yes, I do in fact identify as a male.

      Although most of your comment came off in derogatory manner, I do appreciate the cornball compliment.

      "a person with trite or sentimental ideas."

      I feel that I can relate to that quite well and I'm flattered.

      I would like to mention the sophistication of your username.

      It really shows your personality.

      I feel like I can get a good sense of who you are.
