No emergency calls in the last duties?

[Mr.BOZZ]

Hi,

I'm not sure if that's a bug or it's just designed this way, but the only calls I'm getting are from the dispatchers about incidents and the "daughter" call. No any other calls, I just had the first international meeting duty and still no call.

Thanks!

If you have dispatchers assigned to every district you don't get any calls except the ones you mentioned or if one of the dispatchers needs help. If you haven't assigned one to every district then I can't say if it is a bug or not since by the end I had dispatchers covering every district.

I don't have dispatchers assigned to all districts - just to a couple of them. I'm not sure if I remember correctly but I think some duties ago I was getting calls normally.

Even, if that's as designed, then I think there should be an option for the voice calls as they are one of the most important thing in the game.

Then unfortenaly I can't answer you since I had them assigned to cover all districts. I hope you do find someone who can answer your question.

The same thing is happening to me, I only have 2 dispatchers assigned, not receiving any calls, just from the other dispatchers. That's it..

It must be a glitch/bug because I unassigned all dispatchers and I was still getting calls from them (regarding big events like international meeting escort, etc.).

I've been experiencing the same thing. At first I thought it was something going wrong with my game, but now that I'm learning it's happening to other people, I'm guessing it's a major bug that still needs to be worked out. It seems like every call in the game only gets triggered once and then never again.

yea i think if you have the option to have operators you only get operator calls

Honestly I don't think it's a bug, but a design choice. It's justified ingame as you being promoted, so you don't have to take these calls anymore, your subordinates do that (yes, even if you don't assign a single one). This can also be seen when selecting options for freeplay, where the higher echelons don't have the regular 112 calls anymore.

While I understand the reasoning, I personally don't like this since having those 112 calls is one of the main gameplay gimmicks and is quite fun. 911 Operator had a larger variety of calls and variation within them, so similiar calls could have different outcomes forcing you to keep paying attention. Not the case here, the calls always go the same way (well the 112 calls at least, not the dispatcher ones). The possibility of keeping regular 112 calls in freeplay and having more variety to them would be much appreciated, though that might need some work done (voice acting for all possibilities etc.).

This has to be a bug or a glitch, there's no other way.

Yeah, if this is a design choice then it's one that makes sense narrative wise, but not fun factor wise. Part of why I play this game is for the tense 911 calls you need to resolve. This really takes the fun out of it.
