The problem with the DLCs

[Sergeant Giacomo]

I'm really enjoying every second i spend playing this game. But it's getting boring, i bought all the DLCs and after finishing the game i started playing a free game mode in the city of São Paulo. After 50 shifts of work i only got one earthquake, even having all the DLCs i didn't got any music festival, no riots, no bomb threats... So what's the point of having the DLCs if you are not able to enjoy their content in a free game mode? I really wish the devs can change this and make those events happen in any city or game mode you are playing to make the DLCs more worth. I already emailled them, just wanted to make this thread to point out my concern about those events not happening if you are not playing Miami or Boston.

Heya. The DLC's have always been a mix of calls that are availalbe in all game modes and calls that are available only in scripted times during the campgaign.

Also the calls are weighted to stop sever events happening in quick succession, draining all your units.

You can also add extra calls from the Steam Workshop.

Hey, thanks for your reply. But can't you guys just change the events to happen in free game mode? That would be pretty cool. Also, make those events happen often, i hope you can consider doing this.

I mean, i want music festivals, riots and even the intervetion of the National Guard in riots in the city i am playing in, that would add more quality for the gameplay.

A riot happened to me. I'm playing free game in Pittsburgh and around duty 8 I got two duties worth of riot, and the national guard. The problem was it still said Boston

It never happened to me in São Paulo and i already played 64 shifts. The devs can change this, they can make it happen more often and fix this little issue of riots, music festivals and some other cases not happening in free game modes.

It’ll most likely be probability based, so not getting any could just be bad luck.

After 60 shifts i woudn't call that as bad luck, honestly :/

I just want to enjoy the DLCs, i just got the water cannon police car in the map i'm playing in and it's useless...

If it's a rare event, say 1% chance then on average it'd be once every 100 shifts. - That's only speculation mind you.

I don't know how rare are those events, but if you play in Boston the events will trigger within 10 shifts. As The Soviet Union mentioned, he played a free game mode in Pitsburgh and got the events as well. I'm currently playing in São Paulo and after 60 shifts still didn't get a single one of those DLC events, which is frustrating. I don't think the events are luck based or even rare but i know the devs can change some in-game values to trigger the events in any map. And i think the events should happen often, not only once.

I've been playing in Innsbruck, Austria, and with less than 20 shifts I've had both an earthquake and a guy on a bombing run. That second one screwed me over real bad, even though I did manage to defuse a couple of the bombs...
