I know a certain person with a 1000 Christmas gifts. Why? No idea, something about “testing” weight

They're new, they're cool. In a week or two you'll never see them again.

I'm going to start at what seems to be a perception or belief of the community about the Asylum development process.  You guys seem to think that I sit down at my computer and just add whatever I want to add and giggle when it fucks someone over.  I have been in this community since 2014 most of which obviously not as a dev, so I see where you're coming from but also it doesn't make any sense.  This last patch was entirely based around things that people wanted added to the server, QOL stuff, more combat stuff, etc etc etc.  There is no unilateral decision making when it comes to development on the server, everything is discussed with the SA's CMs, other devs, Rogue, COP, captains, Chiefs where applicable, and admins as a whole.  I am frankly quite irritated by the insinuations otherwise that we are just fucking around with code and then say, "Oh this looks good".  
Development has to be a private affair, where possible we will let you know when something is about to come out, however I know for a fact that other servers staff watches our patch notes, and are inside our community trying to steal content, ideas, and players.  I am not going to make that easier for them in any way, shape, or form.  
In regards to this actual list of complaints, I don't know if you just didn't actually read my post before becoming upset and deciding to write a response, or what.  But the exact same changes went into effect for the cop and civ trees, not to mention the fact that I extended how long the cop event takes to give the rebels time to counter and pay the rebels 500k for disabling it in the first place.  These events were never intended to be as easy to successfully complete than they were, so we changed that.  There is more stuff that we have plans for with these events and systems, so we wanted to change them now to see how it would work.  This decision had nothing to do with fucking you over, this was about improving a system that I made 4 months ago when I had no fucking clue what I was doing, to make it better and more able to build off of in the future.  
In terms of balance, everyone things they have the perfect solution, you post your complaints from your perspective, someone else posts it from there's, these interests are hardly ever going to line up, and at the end of the day we need to make a call.  Just because we're trying something that isn't 95% in your favor right now doesn't mean that A) it won't be changed in the future, or  that it is the wrong decision for the community as a whole.
Lastly, considering the previous state of development on here, and the development on other servers, we are more open and forthcoming than ever before.  If this was in other communities, you would have been banned from posting on patch notes with your posts deleted.  You have people volunteering their time, energy, and skills to make this place run, the overwhelming majority of whom are unpaid.  I really don't think it is too much to ask for to give us the benefit of the doubt that we aren't doing it maliciously, and that we are actively trying to better and save a community that we all love.  
If you have something that you think should be changed for the better, make a suggestion, I can't divine what people are upset about, but also give it a chance.  Don't read something, and without logging onto the server or giving it time to play out decide that it is fucked.  We are spending quite a lot of time making all of this stuff, writing the notes and responses, and patching the server.  Spend some time yourself seeing how it is before immediately telling us to fuck off.

@JunkeIma need the nerd emoji

Ahaha, is your thing deleting my post?!?

Tell that to mother nature, its supposed to snow this week.

But I think it was changed from rain to snow the other day to help with frame issues during some event.

Probably because it affects us the most?

Effective Immediately
Federal Event Changes -
National APD HQ Robbery -  Due to the nature of valuable intelligence inside, the National APD HQ will have slightly different responding policy, listed as following, officers must give a minimum of 2 lives for the main event. In the event that the vault begins to be breached, officers are to give at least an additional 2 lives and securing of the vault will supersede the federal event priority list. 
Any Civilian found in possession of APD Intelligence shall be charged for “Possession of APD Intelligence”
 
The Gas Mart - Sgt+ now may limit the amount of officers responding to a gas mart robbery effectively allowing other officers to maintain current patrol. If done so, the Sgt+ must respond to the event themselves to ensure that it will be secured.

Every fight for a Lt+ is different, I personally don’t want to make my Lts push in a hatchback to bank to die right away before they’re allowed to pull armor. 
 
The current dynamic for most fights for us is to push into an event while out numbered and lately into RPGs as well.
 
We do risk quite a bit to push in with an ifrit around 120k for a very small payout, even then we don’t win every single fight we pull ifrits. Just because we won’t win every fight doesn’t mean we get to be civ punching bags the rest of the time.
 
At the end of the day we have to have fun just like you guys have to have fun.
