Thank you @Mitch (IFRIT)for your endless hours of self sacrifice to this server. It wouldn't exist right now without you.
That being said, now that we have the old man in the grave...it is time to get to work.
To the Community:
I, like the majority of you, would like to see the Asylum community make it to ARMA 4. That is going to take some work and effort. We, the player base, APD, AFD, Support, Admins, Senior Admins, and Developers, need to get through this together. Literally the only way we can make Asylum last until ARMA 4. We all want to see it, lets make it happen.
Thank you all for your past, present, and future contributions. Without everyone volunteering their skills, donating, and endless in server hours this place would have died long ago.
I look forward to seeing were we can take Asylum together and over the coming years.
Very respectfully,
-Rogue

Didnt this just cause the person using them to crash constantly?

Why when it's so easy to fix..
The only way to fix it is to remove getting paid for it. If that happens no one will give it. It was a money printing machine.

See above

Parole only adds a 20k charge, not your bounty. So who gives a shit about a 20k ticket? People will pay that all.

You guys have reading issues dont you?
I was asking if thats harrasment......because I dont think it is but we are being threatened with a complaint of harrasment for doing that to someone.
I am asking, if in fact that is harrasment.....cause everyone does that shit.
Im just trying to make sure I dont catch a harrasment ban.bruh, there was a guy literally threatening to dox me and would DM me some of the most horrible shit and the admins here didnt give a fuck, in fact I got permed for a week and a half after uploading all his SS's and videos by his admin friend a few days later 😂. No shot in hell anyone catches a ban for blowing up someone house. Only harassment ban I ever saw was @iFox

Until this becomes a real RP server with real jail time there is literally no reason to do anything to the prison tbh

Damn can’t spam fed events with 4 cops on anymore just to win over and over with double the numbers. Fuck having competition am I right?
They’re not supposed to be easy my man…
Cop numbers have been dwindling because of the fed event spam so hopefully this fixes it.
People forget a solid cop force is what really runs the server

Just do what everyone else does, and kill your character with a nade/killed by friend/jumping off a building, or jump out of your vehicle during a chase (which inherently all are being used to avoid RP)
If only this was an RP server

Have to stop living in the past. Yes that was good times, BUT the game is old now. 45min in jail is NOT a way to get more people on the server. I mainly see career cops on forums wanting more buffs and more restrictions on Civ. You got to remember its not JUST 45min.
Getting downed in an active fight, Waiting for someone to have time to process you, Cop did not like what you explained, you go to prison after waiting 5 min, talking 5min, jail 45min, regearing ether by respawning or driving to rebel 10min, Back to a fight 5min- total time lost? 1hr and 10min...... In a VIDEO GAME.
A cop gets killed, 1-3min back in fight. Non-Stop action for a cop. 5k load outs...
I honestly couldnt care less if. Jail time is far less than 45 minutes, you played 4-5 days killing, robbing, and doing whatever you wanted, making millions, and now you might have to spend 30 minutes pressing plates and regearing? Please
Parole was probably the most abused system the server ever seen. Keep it gone.

Lethal for payout is fucking stupid. 99% of the time the rebel is revived by the person next to them immediately.

Hello Identity Community!
It's been a long time, far too long, since I gave you a direct update on Identity and its progress. I wanted to take a moment to fill you all in and answer the more common questions I receive. As usual, you can feel free to reach out to me if you have questions as I always do my best to respond to everyone I can.
I know that the main question on your mind is, "when are we going to see a new update?" That's a difficult one to answer, but I do hope fairly soon.
Funding for Identity started a bit slow but really picked up steam after we released our apartment customization video, showing the depth of detail we're aiming for in the Identity game systems. We were quickly then able to expand from a single developer to half a dozen a few years back. We built some awesome systems for the back end of things, replaced them (obsolete from new UE developments or middleware just going out of business), and built up again. With the release of the Town Square module, we were able to show you the surface level of what we'd been working on. Unfortunately it wasn't long after that funding slowed very quickly and thus development slowed as the team shrank.
We hit a bit of a vicious circle here, where in order to improve funding and development time we'd need to give you some awesome updates to build trust. At the same time, we had to feed our families and we couldn't do that without the funding. We decided that we could start some smaller projects in-house to raise money for Identity, and that actually has gone quite well.
We'd mentioned we had other projects, but we never really discussed what they were. It was a combination of doing some work for other game studios to pay bills and also a couple internal projects which were funded externally. I can't describe what these projects were because of legal stuff and the timing, but I can say they went well and after some delays we do have a signed commitment for their acquisition which means, finally, Identity funding is on the horizon.
I wouldn't feel comfortable asking for any funding from the community. You guys have paid enough. In fact I will say right now that you shouldn't make purchases until we post more updates; not because it'll be unrealized but because after all these delays it makes sense to me that we need to prove ourselves again. On that note, it is our plan that we will freeze sales of Identity on Steam in the near future until we make a release with enough substance to warrant its sale there.The delays in development, the failures in funding and, while I'm always open with those who ask, a failure in communication. That's on me -- I've been so nose down in constant effort to sustain my family and Asylum (we've retained employees from Identity even through this difficult financial time) that my mind has been mostly elsewhere most days. We've always several things on the go, with Identity being the priority and goal for the company.
That brings us to today. Like I said, some funding is on the horizon. We'll do what we can to fund this next push ourselves. While working in our off-work hours and with some volunteer hours, Identity has already been rebuilt entirely in Unreal Engine 5. I'm not talking a port, I mean a remake of most key systems with more recent technology. Some things, like the inventory system, needed a rebuild. It's crazy how much tech has changed in a few years, and we wanted to be on top of that.
In our internal build right now, we have most of the base functionality rebuilt. There are only a couple things left before it's ready to release. It's now a full blown UE5 MMO with an improved network structure where we've tested over 400 simulated players on a server. My goal is that, preferably even before securing funding, we can soon push out a new update for the first time in ages. There will be changes, though. For one, we're going to shift to using our own launcher and moving away from Steam as a dedicated store. You will still find Identity there, but we'd like it elsewhere as well. I never liked how Steam forced us to list the Town Square branded as the full game. That confused a lot of people who weren't already followers within the community.
If you've been following my writings, you'll of heard that we're going to drop modules and jump right into the full game. I'd like our next release to bring you vehicles, weapons and the open world. They won't be in a final state, but we're going to release updates as quickly as we can. Remember, we're all still working right now as volunteers but that should change soon enough. I think after all the wait, it's better that we provide you with progress as it comes and not have you wait for huge update releases.I'm going to do my best, as busy as I am right now, to keep an eye on the community. Again, I'm always open to questions and even conversations with anyone. My private messages are open. I get a lot though so it can sometimes take a bit to respond, but I'll get there.
Does anyone believe this?

Win one and you will get a break...
We all know thats not true lmao, jail time is just long enough for the timer to go away.
On 9/7/2022 at 6:16 PM, krono677 said:Rebel Life is already dead and Fed events is literally only thing to do on the server nowadays. Just let rebels have fun on that what they have left or kill The server
And thats biggest cap cops cant do anything Else If somebody is spamming Fed events. If guidebook has not changed then you are only forced to do 2 Lifes and you can go Back to do whatever you were doing If you dont want Be Part of The event. Retards
I feel like no one has a concept of time.... If all cops die twice on 2 pushes, the event ends 5 minutes later? So by the time you respawn, get your shit together and drive to some new place to patrol another one is popping off already. Even if you arrest everyone, they go to jail for 15 minutes, kill themselves, and respawn at rebel in just enough time for the next event.
While rebel life may be dead, thats a result of rebels refusing to fight each other and only fighting cops. Its literally picking on the weaker class to make sure you get the most of your experience and shitting on someone elses experience. I bet you if people actually role played it would be much more enjoyable for everyone. Its really not the cops job to fill in for rebels fighting each other lol

There is nothing else to do on the server but fight.
Do rebels even fight each other anymore? All i seen when I played over the last month was the same group of rebels spamming fed after fed. Is it even fun to do that? I feel like KOTH would be more fun.

It used to be 5 mins back in the day... don't understand why it ever changed. CPT & LTs told people to suck it up and go fight.
It used to be 45 minutes when the server was actually relevant...

You are smoking crack if you think 1 hour is acceptable.
15 minutes is already long as is, doesn't need to be changed at all.
15 minutes isnt even enough time to repawn back at PD before people are doing another one lmao. An hour is crazy, but 15 minutes is essentially nonexistent.

facts, this kinda solves the cop talent issue. Mitch was worried it would be OP to give cops talents when civs are using rooks/pdws, but if this happened and cops werent allowed in for 2-3 maybe 4 hours, that gives Civs time to upgrade their loadouts and by the time the cops come in everyone is more prepared to deal with a cop in a basic spar and vest loadout.
lets be real here most cops will get slayed by rooks in full kits anyways.

If houses are wiped it's only going to make the active players who own good houses leave the server, also the players who support a full wipe, are just trying to acquire better houses for when the server resets (i feel u little asylum timmies), but when they don't get the real estate they want (and yes they probably won't, we saw how fast houses were gone when extra houses got added.) there is a high chance that they will quit after a week or two, but the people actually support the wipe who want everything besides houses wiped will still play the server & more because of the money wipe. Its fair in my opinion to let the people who grinded over the years keep their houses they worked hard for.
also forgot to mention I am in full support of wiping house inventories & upgrades it would be dumb not too.
also another idea: Maybe wipe the server besides houses, but make it so people actually have to have play (no afk shit) (only for a little while, like a month or two so we can see who real active members are) to keep their houses. This would setup a system so people don't just login to keep their house, but actually have to play some hours a month to keep it. If they don't want to play then they don't care about their house. (also again I don't want this on asylum forever, just add it for a bitso people have a chance to grab more houses from inactive people.
They wont leave, that is the argument every time. Yet never comes to fruition.

It seems as though the server is being adjusted to cater more to smaller gangs. Bring back cocaine cartel, heroin cartel, and meth cartel. This would encourage smaller gangs to challenge cartels. We don't have to make them the same locations as before, but even if we did it would still encourage more fights because it will be new content to the newer players, and reliving the old glory days for older players.
Man, I remember taking cartels with my meme gang because noone cared about the shitty ones lol, it does encourage smaller groups to give it a go for less sought after cartels which is nice.

Same here. Wipe goes perm, Im done. I invested so much time, grinding and crafting to just watch it get flushed. I would never trust any future investments of my time. Just my opinion.
Cant this be said for any game with seasons? Losing shit sucks, I agree, but the grind is whats fun about the game. Once you have everything its just trolling and bullshit. Nothing to aim for.
