Asylum #2: Aussie Life 

Asylum #2: Aussie Life 

On July 18 we will be conducting public testing of STRIFE between 3 PM and 7 PM EST. For those unaware, STRIFE is an Arma 3 game mode created by Paratus that was initially released in 2017 and later shut down. Its code has since been rewritten and the plan is to give it another go.
Currently the only map available is Malden, however adding support for Tanoa wouldn't take very long.
A test database will be used for these four hours of testing. This means that none of your Life progress is carried over, however normally your progress (primarily money) would be carried over.
From the initial 2017 announcement:
STRIFE is an extension of Asylum's Life, bringing your Life character into the ranks of the military in a full-scale war. Conquer the island of Tanoa Malden for amazing rewards on Altis and put your Life cash to good use in bringing down the enemy.
STRIFE is based on a front-line capture and finally brings all of Arma's assets to the hands of the Asylum community.
The 2017 trailer can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1rk6hK2zio
The goal of the game mode is to capture every objective on the map. There are two teams, OPFOR and BLUFOR, and each team starts the war with an equal amount of objectives owned. These objectives are terminals placed across the map which must be hacked. When a hack is started, the owner of the objective must regain control of the objective by restoring it, otherwise the objective will be lost to the hacking team after 10 minutes.

Ok, so what does that update look like? people always say update but fail to provide actual ideas that improves the situation. We are listening but need ideas that we could actually do. 
I am not sure about the dom, as it seems to be a rat race to catch the ban evaders and cheaters. Will ask devs etc about what the status is etc. 
Redesign the north bank if you have ideas.  Laser tag is already got something planned iirc. I would like to see the entire crafting system expanded.
Find and pitch those new locations but be aware, people fucking hate change. They scream for it and then scream that it was changed 6 months later. 
Looking into it. problem we run into is too many federal events and the cops will never be seen anywhere else on the map. It's a balance i am struggling to iron out currently. 
i hope you're kidding. 
Economy is a bit out of wack. looking at ways to reel it back in a bit. Will look into
bug report?
working on it
seems like a cool idea. let's see what the devs do with it. 
yeah zero issues there
@identity 
may be able to do that. but people spend too much time trying to dupe so bulk items can be a headache. 

denied.
Denied.

Ok maybe I sounded a little ungrateful, but this is not the case. I do appreciate the work that is put into the community by the devs, but im still not excited about having another federal event to be spammed. I do also realize that this has been a issue for a bit and fixing it is easier said then done. Doesnt change the fact that it still sucks in the mean time.

I would agree with you accept for the fact that cop numbers have dropped because cops dont want to do federal event after federal event after federal event. Cringe all you want but Asylum is listed as a "Light Role-Play server" and feels more like a cops and rebels wasteland server. Most of the servers roleplay came from the cops side but has drastically changed due to there now being more federal events then natural interactions and fights that use to come from cops actually patrolling. Even now as im typing this there is now the new event active, at the same time Athera bank was being robbed, not even 30 minutes after pyrgos bank was being robbed, fun fun.

Dumped anything I had saved on this 
P.s please change the smokes on dom I just wanna be able to actually see people again

Has a mix of shit,Dom,Koth,saved the cop kills till near the end...need space
Enjoy
Commence the hate
 

It's been asked countless times and the answer will always be do. Nothing more irriating than trying to spam into a server with reserved slots. If the system was different than I'd consider it. But with how it is now, hard no. 

might be fucked for anyone watching on widescreen

Id like to thank Mitch for recognising DS's potential and gaurenteeing all of the "upcoming" members above on the admin team. 

Our first action will move to a senate like chamber for new rules and features where issues will be voted on with a simple majority with every admin getting a say. 
Secondly, after that has passed, we will move to change the name of asylum to "Drunk Squad Altis Life We Wont Conn You Into Pumping Money Into A Game That Wont Release" 

Thirdly, Rpg's will have their original power restored and prices brought down to their previous before Badabing got salty and removed them.

Fourth, we will be restricting the amount of farmersville members allowed in  any 1 city at  any one time to lower the stress on the pavement, this should result in less time getting spent on fixing the cracks in the roads/sidewalks.

Fifth Mitch is out. Fucking queer. 

Sixth, any admin member who had their girlfriend banged by a ds member will lose their admin tag immediately
