Gen. Henry Arnold

This was originally an admin event only layout to get people to try out
Would like to bring it back as a temporary layout (only for the duration of an admin event)
What are the thoughts of in addition to rotating cap locations to include rotating layouts per restart?

A big complaint I heard about this was it's as bad as wongs - any ideas to improve from that?

Foreword:
Over the last 8+ weeks we have seen a steady and consistent decline in server population and interaction, after trying a number of factors we have decided that the best way to move forward is to completely overhaul the Asylum experience.  Our team of developers has worked tirelessly to provide you this fresh opportunity, and we hope you enjoy this refreshed experience.
One of the biggest things we have focused on is the simplification of the Asylum experience, there is a number of content items that we have removed in favor of this goal. Some of them may return with a new twist in the future.
Progress:
All player progress has been reset. Donor levels, crate keys, unlocked skins (non-achievement ones), MyAsylum gold and faction ranks still remain. ALL Asylum players, including staff are now starting from square one. Special shoutout to the wealthiest Asylum members and gangs from the last 10 years. These were the richest on the day prior to the wipe announcement: Top 10 players: Leroy Jenkins, $646,168,384 Big black submarine, $405,849,280 ALIVE, $239,951,056 NewYork, $212,533,568 Pollo Picoso[HFD], $134,245,856 Peter, $114,510,640 gesloten, $90,114,296 pablosexcobar, $90,048,480 FreePalestine, $82,359,416 haidao, $76,622,600 Top 10 gangs (gang bank): Envy, $47,018,000 Church Of Floyd, $20,000,000 Unknown, $16,300,800 Free Syrian Army, $15,715,000 NSF, $11,219,400 TFrench Mafia, $10,835,400 Dragons, $10,545,700 Neutral Violence, $9,700,000 Westside, $7,786,200 Fuzzy Dice, $7,609,080 Development additions:
We have recently made a couple of additions to the development team. Welcome @Pizza Man and @Infamous [FULL SEND] Added:
New phone All the old wallpapers have been removed and replaced with newer ones. The current selection options are more limited, but more wallpapers can be added in the future.  You can now set your own favorite apps by visiting the settings app and pressing "Select favorite apps" See screenshot below Added the Bergen backpack to clothing stores With a capacity of 112, it comes at a higher price than other backpacks Police SUVs and Police Hatchbacks now spawn with push bars and light bars Light bar example Push bar example Storage lockers are now available in all major cities Civilians are able to use these locations to store a small amount of virtual and physical items Items stored can be accessed from all other locations The storage lockers can hold up to 100 physical storage and 100 virtual storage across all locations  You can now see your group members and their health status on the left side of your screen Can be toggled in the phone settings The color of their name will depend on their health. You can also see their health percentage next their name (not a part of the example screenshot below) See example below Healing within vehicles You can now use blood bags and virtual FAKs while inside a vehicle. Performing certain actions will however cancel the bloodbag or first aid kit. Most NPCs now display a name and their role above them (e.g drug dealer, general store etc) See example below Interactive Gathering We have added back the OPTION to utilize interactive gathering methods to the server.  You can still gather by sitting there and scrolling, but if you want to gain some extra speed in the field, then you can gather interactively. All of the items that spawn regenerate after a certain amount of time. Weed Weed plants now spawn in the field, scroll wheel near them and harvest the plant. Heroin Poppy plants now spawn in the field, scroll wheel near them to harvest the plant. Quarries Rocks now spawn at the quarries, run over and pick them up to get their minerals. High Yield quarries give an increased yield of iron and diamonds than regular quarries. Small grey rocks give you copper Black rocks give you iron White rocks give you diamonds Excavation Some of the most popular shipwreck locations have begun to leak valuable loot.  You can open these crates up to get the loot. All items have all of the objects in the loot table. Barrels have an increased likelihood of spawning gold nuggets and bars Wooden crates have an increased change of pearls and processed oil Black crates have an increased probability of all items Cocaine The cocaine pit has returned, jog your life away while listening to that ever satisfying, SLOSH SLOSH SLOSH Run in circles in the cocaine pit at the coke field to gather faster Unmarked pizza shops in the spawn towns You can now purchase a cheese, pepperoni, Hawaiian, or supreme pizza plus several other items from this shop. If you are prepared with a stolen/registered/unregistered vehicle, you can take on a pizza delivery job from the shop owner. Although if you are late to deliver the pizza, there will be consequences. Suicide vests with bigger impact have made their way into Altis. They can be purchased at rebel outposts at a higher price. Suicide vest: Same as always Bomb vest: 1.5x explosion MOAB vest: 2x explosion Being in war with someone will now display an icon next to their name If someone is red to you, an icon will now be displayed next to their name Sea turtles and oysters have found a new location near Molos, North East of Sofia In addition, a new boat shop has been established near Molos Wong's Food & Liquor has expanded their trades to Sofia When searching a player as a cop, the player's associated gang will now be displayed The amount of cops online is now displayed in your phone settings Added the "All Clear" app for the police Instead of marking illegal areas manually with the current minute after a search, police can instead use this app. The marked illegal areas will have a different color on the map (for police only) if it has been searched/marked. The app will also show a timer for the time remaining until the area can be searched again. The fields can be re-marked or completely reset, be sure to still follow APD policy. Domination Admin Event During the course of a restart on server one an admin now has the ability to activate a short domination match Fight for glory on the Altis Drug Peninsula You will have one hour to get as many points as possible Capture one/any of the three flags on the peninsula Gain 10 points every 20 seconds of holding the flags. Payment is received for any of the top 3 gangs, and/or at admin discretion based on # of players, total points, etc. Kills garner double BM during the event May the best gang win! Changed:
Starter money has been increased from $10,000 -> $25,000 The player HUD has received an overhaul All of the icons have been replaced with newer ones, and each status icon has different states depending on the value. Your stamina and carry weight will also be displayed now Cartel changes Being the owner of a cartel will now deposit money into your gang bank every 5 minutes The more cartels you own, the more money will be deposited The more players are online, the more money will be deposited Oil cartel has been relocated to an older location south of DP11 Updated progress bars Progress bars will now stack so that no action interrupts any other action's progress bar (the infamous drug runner bug). You will likely never see more than two progress bars at the same time. Attempting to store more items than the vehicle/house can hold will now store as many as possible instead of telling you the vehicle is full Housing changes Maximum number of sheds which can be owned 2 -> 1  Maximum number of houses which can be owned 5 -> 3 Some of the houses in Athira, Kavala, Therisa, Pyrgos, Sofia and Telos have received a paint job for a fresher look House market base prices Shed $250,000 -> $500,000 Large houses $150,000 -> $250,000 Long stone houses $120,000 -> $150,000 Small houses/Shop houses $70,000 -> $100,000 Garages (Damaged/Undamaged) $50,000/$60,000 -> $65,000/$75,000 Stone sheds/house addons/Slum houses $40,000 -> $50,000 House sell back to bank prices Sheds/Large Houses 50% -> 60% of market Everything else 50% - 70% ->-> 70% of market Physical storage upgrades View changes below Virtual storage upgrades View changes below Upkeep per day Shed $1,650 -> $2,000 Large Houses $775 -> $850 Long stone houses $575 - $650 Small houses/shop houses $400 -> $500 Garages $325 -> $400 Addon/Slum $325 -> $350 Upkeep penalty/discount for time played View below Vehicle pricing changes Civilian vehicles Ground vehicles See below Armored vehicles See below Helicopters See below Cop vehicles See below Medic vehicles See below Vehicle mods See below Explosives pricing changes See below Map changes Sofia and Pyrgos have both received a facelift Infamy changes The current infamy talent tree has been replaced. If you have more ideas for rebel oriented perks, don't hesistate to suggest them.

Most of the Devs have been quite busy as of late. Lots of things have happened in the background such as migrating everything to a new server. Our infrastructure has greatly improved. You may notice some unlisted changes as we continue to tweak them (Ping kicks).
Mostly a QOL/Server maintenance Patch this month. 
Added:
Bright Night Select night brightness via settings slider! Sheds Broken down sheds on the map have been repaired to full working order. (36 Total) We will be slowly introducing these new sheds via Give-Away (Join our discord), Asylum forum auction and random market seeding This is being done this way to ensure equal opportunity for shed ownership and as to not crash the shed market.  Owning sheds is now limited to 2 sheds. If you currently own more than 2 sheds you have until the 1st of November 2023 to sell sheds until you reach the 2 shed cap, after this date we will sell them for you until you reach the 2 shed cap. CCTV Security Camera's 50+ Camera's have been placed around the map and are accessible by scroll wheeling on any screen with the camera icon. Activatable by all factions Provide live feed in stunning 240p (or less) Note: PIP must be enabled in your client settings, Arma only allows a maximum of 6 PIP screens at anytime. @goyneyfor icon Ranked Based Pay (APD)
The APD is a profitable faction, but it's the higher-ups who primarily carry the risk and bear the heaviest costs. These adjustments are aimed at helping to balance out those expenses. We're also taking this opportunity to get rid of most of the stackable charges. In the past, being caught with gold bars or banded notes almost always meant serving time in prison. These changes give you the choice to either pay the charges or find ways to realistically RP the charges down to a payable leve. APD has undergone a financial restructure APD SGT/LT of the month cash reward removed (See APD policy update) No longer stackable charges (See APD policy update) Money Laundering $5,000 -> $10,000 Weapons Trafficking $1,000 -> $5,000  Possession of Reserve Gold $15,000 (unchanged) APD pay (per 5 min) Cadet  $500 -> $350 Constable $500  ->  $500 Corporal $500 -> $650 SGT $500 -> $800 LT/Captain $500 -> $1000 New Mobile HQ Layout - Thanks to @Hubschrauber for the help Mobile HQ Cost $40,000 -> $25,000 Default mobile HQ now has vehicle spawn. Prestige Upgrades as follow Default/Unlock Mobile HQ 40,000 -> 15,000 Prestige Lvl1: Adds Air Garage 75,000 -> 30,000 Prestige Lvl2: Adds Gates/Guard Shacks + Enhances walls with barbed wire. 45,000 -> 30,000 Prestige Lvl3: Adds two towers. 25,000 Prestige Are you an APD officer about to make a post?
