End of shift

[milamber18]

I really wish the dispatcher would stop yelling at me that the shift is over and get back to the station NOW! I'm clear the shift is over but you don't walk away from a call for service or an accident just because it's 10-42 time. You work the incident, make the arrest, write the report and end up getting off two hours late and missing dinner. Stop yelling at me or give me the option to respond to dispatch and chew out the floor supervisor.

1. The dispatcher isn't shouting?! o.O
2. Of course you can still finish your assignment.
3. Depending on the length of the shift, you have enough time until you actually finish your shift.
Admittedly, squeezing 8 hours into 25 minutes doesn't leave much tolerance for finishing the shift. (I always play for at least 60 minutes.)
I have to admit that I have never returned to the station so late that there were "penalties" (-CP)

Lol She absolutely is "shouting" when she's saying "return to the station NOW". Dispatchers and officers certainly have the ability to transmit an attitude over the radio and those always end up in telephone calls between road patrol and the dispatch supervisor. Once you get your "radio ear" down pat, you can tell if your dispatcher is having a bad day or hasn't been really paying attention to the radio traffic, in the middle of eating (yep, I can hear you eat your salad...) To my ear, she's shouting and she's not in charge of me. She needs to knock it off. :)

as for the rest of it, I wasn't implying you can't finish your current assignment nor criticizing gameplay decisions made to ensure the game is playable and fun.

If they made it like it really is, no one would probably want to play it. As it is, the game certainly provides the feel of what its like and that's what's really important. I really just want the dispatcher to quit nagging me at the end of the shift. I'm only speaking for myself when I say it's really annoying to me... Most likely because it would annoy me in real life.

I agree that she does sound a bit imperative. I'd really appreciate the option to request overtime.
