Stop for five minutes and put your selves in someone else shoes.

If someone told you - hey I need you to fix the teamspeak server every day after work/school for a majority of your free time.
- The first thing you would think of is "sure no big deal"
- Now do that every day for months, and months, and month's and see how you feel.
- Now picture the fact that everything your doing is for a game you didnt create so half the time the shit you do breaks because of shitty functions that are built in to the game or just for reasons that you may not be able to figure out easily without proper debugging tools that dont exist on a shitty video game server.
- Now if that wasn't annoying enough - lets pause right there and remind you that you are NOT getting paid, you are NOT getting appreciated, and you are NOT going to be able to re-use this code on a future project.


You dont think that half the people that work on this shit would rather be doing this for a GOOD game and getting paid real money? For fucks sake they could be getting paid a nice salary to go fuck around with a mobile game but there doing this to help you retards play.


I dont even play this shit game but I appreciate the effort people put in for the rest of you morons to play.

This is undecided yet, once I open up the EMS sub-forums for applications we plan to start getting that knocked out of the way, I’ve still yet to discuss anything regarding ranks playtime-discussion yet

is the rank system going to be based off playtime for EMR - Paramedic?

As we continue to work behind the scenes to get the new medic systems into place we wanted to give a look into where we stand and some of the things coming.
 
                            
First off let me officially congratulate @Jake as the first Chief of the Altis Fire Department.
Jake has been and will continue over the next few days to get policies in place and begin to fill out the ranks. Helping him along the way is Assistant Chief @Bread. 
The rank structure is quite a bit different compared to the APD where we have 3 captains with 1 of them being an admin chief of police position. At the end of the day the CoP is still another captain when it comes to policies and decisions for the apd. On the other hand, the AFD will have 1 Chief position that is the ultimate decider in all related matters. As Bread is doing, there will be 2-4 Assistant Chief positions that are responsible for helping the Chief to make new policies and enforce AFD guidelines. 
The other ranks are as follows:
Paramedic - (Junior Staff) 
Advanced EMT 
EMT 
EMR - (Cadet) 
 
In addition to new uniforms for each rank you will also be seeing some new vehicles and old ones with new skins moving around Altis with the launch of the AFD. A huge shout out to @Boon whom without, much of this wouldn't be possible. His work has been far above and beyond what we could imagine. He has created almost everything skin wise from the logo, to the teaser image you see below. We've also brought in @GO7NEY to help finish off the new skins and chalk this part of the project complete.

 
One major game-play change to highlight is the working relationship between the APD and AFD especially around federal events. While the APD holds command authority during such events medics will be on standby to rush into harms way to assist those who are in need. The APD and AFD will have joint communication channels for all federal events as well. Their teamwork will also extend outside of major events around the island, more to come on that later though. While there will always be some friction when new things are introduced both factions have agreed to have policy changes in place to help alleviate as much of that friction as they can.
Finally, how do you join? Like the Apd there will be applications on the forums. We hope to have them opened very soon, right now we plan to open them prior to the new medic system being implemented on the servers. That means there will be a gap of time between acceptance and the new faction rolling out. In the meantime the old un-whitelisted medic is live on the servers but has no impact on any rank for AFD.
There is still some work to be done, as such there is no ETA on the factions release. We are expecting more information around the AFD to be provided by the Chiefs later this week. 
 

Requirements;
Can follow orders 1000+ hours 300k+ in bank Have a mic Application;
In game name: Age: Hours (Screenshot): Time zone: How much money do you have?: Previous gangs: Why do you want to join?:

This will be going in to effect very shortly on the live servers. Just handling some last minute stuff.

Also, the updated "Donation Goal" method will be going up soonish (next few days). It'll basically be very similar to what community goals offered just minus tiers. So instead of making you guys reach various goals, it will just be one. Then we'll maybe add some other stuff to it, etc. This WILL NOT be the same as Olympus where you donate for features, rather you're donating for a community goal basically. Sometimes we may throw features in, however it'll be unlikely due to how thin we're spread with development resources.

Asylum Community,
It has come to my attention that most of you do not quite understand where your money goes when you choose to donate to Asylum.
Whether its buying loot crates or donating directly to PayPal you help support
Server costs  Web Applications for Administration (BattleMetrics and other reporting tools) Web Addons for the forums (Ticketing system,  Forum Themes, Addons, etc.) Development costs - additional support outside of our own (free) development Believe it or not, everyone on staff does this as a hobby!  This server is what we choose to do in our spare time, you are not supporting our lifestyles, but simply - your game play.
We have decided to give our player base some insight into when our donation goal is met for the month.  We will have an active status bar for every donation made directly to Asylum.  Once that goal is met, if we exceed that goal we will be able to actively add bonuses for everyone who plays on Asylum.  
At the end of the day,  we do not function or play without your support.  
 
Onto immediate game play changes -
Because of player population, and struggling new player base we have balanced a few things around the island to make your money and your time go further in game play.
 
Starting immediately 
Gameplay Changes:
We are dropping Cop slots to maximum 15 (to help balance civ to cop ratios) At any time 7 cops can be online. To achieve over 7 cops online, there must be at least 50 civilians online To achieve over 12 cops online, there must be at least 75 civilians online Anything over 75 civilians can have the max cop count on.                 *****  This is a temporary thing while we try to make sure our civilian to cop ratio is in check while we continue to operate the same size police force we had before across 2+ servers now on 1 server. While we understand this may mean sometimes there are no cop slots available, hopefully you pop on civilian to play for a while to help keep our counts high and get new players coming in. Having a full server has been quite beneficial to us the last few days as with a full server we can ensure that action is happening across the map.
Market Changes Left the max discount available alone @ 20% off (any store) Made it so if the store is a non-market (virutal item store) the max discount off is 25% to help other talents be worth it Removed the infamy talent discounts (weren't in use due to no infamy) Added  a **GLOBAL** discount of 15% (civilians only) at any market store (Not Virtual Items though) just gear Brand new players now start with $10,000 instead of $5,000 Lowered prices of common "Starter" Vehicles in a nutshell what does this mean?
Cheaper load outs Cheaper vehicles (Beginner vehicles mainly [Box trucks, offroads, hatchbacks, etc... Large expensive vehicles were already reduced quite a bit on V2 launch])  Your money should hopefully last you longer...  
Things to look for very soon 
Return of the medic slot
We are currently testing and adding in the new medic slot , so until that is launched our old medics will be in place.  Enjoy now, soon you will have to be white listed to play it!
 
Things to expect while playing our new white listed medic slots
New talent tree Great more powerful support class Unique vehicles and new skins Ranking system and dedicated teamspeak channels Work closely with other factions of the community

Hey everyone,

I first off want to apologize for the long duration of forum downtime. I have had a busy week unfortunately, and had to work this in to my schedule. While the forums have been down, they've been updated to the latest Invision Community version, which caused a plugin to have issues with ALL forum posts. The cause of forum posts being broken took me like 2 hours to figure out, eventually I narrowed it down to a certain plugin. Then I had to update all ~23,000 users via a script I made to repair some stuff.
The unfortunate thing out of all this was just that any hosted images on the site will have broken links now. That is why your signatures and avatars have been reset. If you wish to have your signature back AND it was more than just a few words or something and was something lengthy or hard to re-create.. (assuming it didn't have an image in and it was just text or something, shoot me a PM, I can get it for you). This however did free up like 40gb of space on the webserver.
Lastly, SSL is now active across all domains except our subdomains for those of you with admin/cop tools. This is due to our SSL license only being paid for the TLD (top-level domain), we do not have subdomain coverage for SSL.
Broken Images for rank icons will be replaced/added back soon. Need to get them. Also, the forums is currently "rebuilding" images in the background making them compatible with SSL if possible. So some images may show up after a while and it may just be that they're not showing due to not being processed by the server yet, as the forum system is also re-indexing everything. So the webserver is under a relatively heavy load currently.
Once again, I apologize for the downtime and the loss of any signatures/avatars. If you notice anything broken on the forums, shoot me a pm.

Thank you,
Jesse

@Foxx40 He shouldve used his Strider flashbangs and blinded them right?

did you just tell everyone to not do the one thing on the server everyone enjoys? Imagine doing a bank and a strider blinds EVERYONE in the bank at once

Yea im not getting flashed by a fucking strider no thanks
