Steel Driver Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 For those of you who have been around the block a time or two (or three. or...) and seen VTCs come and go, I was hoping to gain some expertise into what might cause a VTC to die. What have your experiences been like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubberduck9861 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 in my experience, people just get bored with the VTC and real life things take over (life, job, school, etc...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cowie Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Hello, Bonjour, From my experience, you should have requirements and activity requirements. Have at least a weekly convoy to have your drivers come back together. Never stop recruiting! Players will come and go, who cares, they weren't dedicated. I find that you should always choose your staff positions from those already in your vtc. Never hire people that are not in your vtc to take a staff position. That is all I have for you. Oh wait, make sure to keep track of who attends events and who doesn't. Those who are too inactive without a valid reason should go. ~ccowie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBSX MarinhoB.[007]BA Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Friend, one thing that makes a VTC die is for sure dlc award for ranking. I never distributed dlc or luck. because drivers will enter interested only in the awards and then leave. My tip for you is: * Always stay online, drivers like to contact the owners of the company. * always make trains, this unites the drivers. * Make whenever possible, trains between companies. * hire responsible managers, so that each one takes care of an area. these are the tips I have for you. =================================================== Best Regards.

Guest Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 VTCs are just like clans in other mmorpgs.The main goal is not doing quests together, but doing deliveries they are basically just groups that you can join.They often will set up convoys and events.

BarryGB Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Lack of members from what I've seen. Also with some people's vtcs, lack of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 - Lack of Time - Wrong People - Inactive Owner - No VTC Events (like convoys, truckfest) - Not a TS3/Discord where people can meet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96AV Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 @Steel Driver Hey, If you ask the my idea , ı say this ; Being a family. Neither a team nor a logistics nor a clan. The only purpose is to be a family. Why? Because almost all our time passes together. We just dont play games together. We are finding solutions to each other's problems. (Family Problems,Love Problems etc.) In short , we become family.. Best Regards.

AshlynsGaming Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Inactive members/drivers, no convys being managed by the owner or convoy control, Drama, no respectful staff/memebers..ETC A VTC all ways have to active if your VTC is not active them you lose drivers.

[VIVA] Quad Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Well coming from a person who owns the largest VTC and has been through an entire shutdown at one point... one thing that can kill a VTC is trust and power. No matter how well you know someone, unless you know them in real life, they shouldn't be in your highest seats of power. Once you lose trust in someone that has power, its like Jenga. You remove a piece and the rest falls down. Personally, I have been able to recover from that point in my VTC's life but have learned valuable lessons in which helped improved in my VTC today.

Encrypted_ Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Hello @Steel Driver, I am no expert on VTC's, however, I have been in my fair share of VTC's. Most of them died out so I joined another VTC. This is how I think it died out. -No Recruiting -No Events -Inactive owners -Bad Drivers Those are my biggest points. There are more, of course but those are the key ones.

Axthony Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 There is a lot of factors to make a VTC vanish or just die. It can be how the Founders don't really care about it no more. Sometimes it can be that people just stop playing on it anymore. School can be another factor to add in or if the company does not advertise their VTC at all.

Guest Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Hello, I think what make a VTC die it's mostly the fights and when everyone fight you can sure it's the end of the VTC , it happened to me a long time ago. Mr Yop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melodies Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Inactive drivers i guess, or drivers are not talking a lot to each others so they just leave.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyUK Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Companies in this game need a huge shake up, I'm surprised the people behind MP haven't made their own company system like they are doing with traffic in MP. I've never played in VTC because it is pointless, (at least to me) because it's nothing other than a get together or random drive just as you can do on your own anyway, where is the fun exactly or the feeling of reward? There needs to be a better system in place with companies in MP because at the moment it isn't worth the time and effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Driver Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 @DannyUK From what I understand, some people do it more for the role play perspective. Perhaps being on a VTC gives them the feeling of that sense of accomplishment you might get when you work with a larger group towards a larger goal. I've met some good people in the VTC that I'm currently in, and while, indeed, the convoys might be deemed useless, it has given me some bonding time with those who were also involved, and I've had my fair share of laughs at all the jokes we've shared. I do, however, understand if people find VTCs as a whole useless, as I sometimes wonder why I put work into a VTC, when I'd like to be doing something else. Nice picture BTW. I enjoyed that show during it's earlier years, though from what I hear it was over dramatized (surprise surprise). Hugh was definitely a character.

Thats something people dont like all the time. Most VTC all you do is do a load and the bot logs the job thats it. That doesn't really feel like a VTC to me in my opinion. Its also a reason why i joined viva they offer more, with there very own drivershub, mods, etc....

Matt Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Back in December I used to be in LGO Logistics, a medium sized company with a peak of 50 drivers. The company only lasted 4 months. The main reason for it to 'die' is due to the lack of time that management had. The three founders were often busy and there was only one founder (@KGT I Rootyyy I Driver) that was fairly active. During school season, it seems like more people are busy revising/doing GCSEs. yo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticky Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Probably most VTCs die due to lack of time. An inactive management makes the VTC boring --> no events --> no attractive community --> inactive players. When the management doesn't care about the VTC, the players won't care either - they'll leave or just stay inactive. Eventually, the VTC will die.

I think that's what's happening to my VTC currently. While the staff has been active, the leaders themselves haven't. This in turn has caused some of the more active staff to leave due to frustration at the lack of changes, which in turn is causing some other staff members-myself included-to either leave or consider leaving. This week we've only had two convoys scheduled, a sharp decline of the usual 4 to 5 that are usually planned. Anyways, thanks for all the input everyone. Best of luck to y'all.

But it gets worse when the Leader has to much free time on his hands: The Problem with my VTC was, that the Owner was unemployed and had a lot of time. That was not bad in itself, but he somehow related this to the other staff and expected that they show the same commitment as him. And after a few partly really ugly actions on his part (pay real money to be a member of the VTC, etc...) i drew the finish line for me... Since then (that's more than 2 years ago) I've tried a couple of times with a few other VTCs, but in the end it almost always failed because of the above reason. A very big problem, in my opinion, is that the management of VTC often expects too much from their drivers. For example: I am currently doing a technically very demanding training as a track-builder. I just make it on the weekend to play ETS2 and even then Im not always in the right mood for it. Unfortunately, the VTCs I applied for did not find it necessary to pay attention tho this fact. For these reasons, I've been "self-employed" ever since and I'm more critical of VTCs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xGustav Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 The most important thing is your members. They must be respectful and honest. You should treat them equally. They don't like strict rules. Some were lying or playing other games. Because of that, my company closed down. Member Since 6 Dec 2014 / Best Regards xGustav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattR Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 The things I have seen are player engagement. You have to go out and get people involved. Other people have brought up good points in here also trust can play a big part. Also sometimes it’s nice for people to take a break. It is a game still. And drama can cause problems too it’s best to just stay out of the drama and do your thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATEKGaming Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 The main is interactiveness with the Management and Drivers. If they don't have that proper engagement with each other - the VTC will slowly die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
