Phones

[DieselMerc]

Topless, how will phones work in MWC? Will we receive calls only from the apartment phone, or will people also have a chance to call us when we're at the parents' house? Or could they possibly call the parents who will relay their message to us?

I think phone works same way as it has, with a difference that this time player also have to make phone calls.

I'm liking the sound of having to make phone calls.

Thanks for the answer, sounds awesome!

[chromeadders]

Any information on who the player will be able to call, or are you keeping that a secret for now? :D

I hope swearing does something when we call

I bet we can use the phone to order parts quicker.

I think that we would use the phone to order car parts for the Taunus from the listings.

I think it'll go 2 ways.

1: Order parts via mail and pay once they arrive.

2: Order via phone and pay instantly.

With method 1 you get enough time to earn more money before you have to pay postage, whereas with the 2nd one you buy it instantly and don't need to worry about money being spent on other stuff. (Groceries, bills, fines)

The first method seems more likely. Though I thought of another, more realistic way it could work. So you'd call the seller, they would tell you their adress and maybe which time you can visit them. You get a dart on your map where they live. You go visit them, knock on their door, and you buy the part from them, maybe even haggle a bit. This method would be very realistic but would require a larger map with more houses, so I'm leaning more towards the afformentioned way of "they post it to you and you pay for the package when it arrives".

;( I still think we should be able to call them to haggle the price down on the phone. It should be RNG if they agree or not, and by how much

i feel like the phone could be also used to call "sick" to work

Will we have a sick days system then?

[Kevenless]

Yeah that would be nice if swearing and speaking would affect call conversation.
