TIL a few bans is no big deal. You guys really do struggle with basic rules don't you? I was banned once years ago and I was in the wrong, haven't done it since, it's really not that hard.

@Kowalski Nice post, Some things I agree with, others not so much, but very comprehensive and well done. It's a good change of pace to read something with some thought around here. _________ A lot of people here keep talking about the MX, I say remove the PO7. Pistols are not seriously used to bounty hunt outside of DMV hunting and BH abuse. On the topic of overall nerfs and rebels wanting them gone, people really need to stop insulting people that vote to remove it. It's evident those in favor of less change are weighted towards people I see that usually just troll towns anyway. Rebels don't want bounty hunter gone because "They are salty they lost a fight" They don't like it because being restrained, either left somewhere or jailed is not fun. This is more of an issue I feel than any of the equipment that BHs get and what they can do. I'll say getting downed and left in a building was a large factor in me taking a break off of the game. Often I didn't even have a bounty, its just an issue of BHs trolling people to get high off of taking the fun out of others. Even for those that are genuinely bounty hunting, take the fun and mood out of someone else. A rebel who goes to a fight and gets killed is usually fine because he can respawn and is still in control of his experience. This is a basic psychological factor of being in control of yourself. The same reason its generally feels more safe for you to be the driver in the car as opposed to a passenger in a plane, despite the fact that driving is far more dangerous, the control over your own safety provides comfort. The same thing is clearly happening here, when you are downed, restrained, left or jailed, you are forced out of control, and that is discomforting and takes away from the fun and the experience. Nobody likes jail because you can't do anything, its AFK and make a sandwich time. Being downed is the same thing, there is nothing you can do beyond roll your eyes and set a 10 minute timer before you alt-f4. Honestly, game mechanics that actively encourage the player to close down the game is beyond me, that's not good for player retention, if I get a 45 minute jail time I can almost say for certain I'm done with asylum for the day, because I am going to go find a different activity to go do. Consider the consequences of bounty hunters and the mechanics that are involved in those consequences rather than bounty hunter itself. Why should someone become a bounty hunter, what should be allowed? Do you want bounty hunters to fetch players that just got a single self defense, lockpicked a single car? Got hit with insurance fraud by a couple of trolls? What happens to the player who is hunted? How will you keep that player from not wanting to log out entirely? A lot of people push for lowered max jail time for this reason. Also please do something about Bounty Hunter abuse, getting killed is fine, being downed and dragged around so I can't play makes me want to alt f4. Literally the only people who like the fact that you can get away with this are trolls.

Remove the whitelist first and see what happens. If we go to one server dont nerf housing just to bring S2 back in a month.

This post won't stop me because I can't read!

Its fucking broken and no one likes feeling the full weight of shitty netcode in a single gun.

@RonnyB Sorry no one takes this post seriously. What makes a life server are the people in it. It's not like Rainbow Six Siege where the experience you get is packaged within a defined rule-set and mechanics, but life relies heavily on the people in it and the attitude they bring. I for one would like to have a much more lengthy discussion on fresh spawns, new players, and how Asylum is completely unfriendly to new players, if not outright repulsive. Now that V2 is here, Kavala is just "kill freshspawns." and before I get the "iTs KaVaLa jUsT LeAvE" its the #1 place new players will end up, and the server is specifically targeting anyone with no gear on them. Kavala has always been a hell hole, but it used to be a hell hole where you could learn the ropes, get tied in to running weed as a startup, meet and learn fishing/excavation, run the risk of robbing/getting robbed on the areas legal activities, you even used to be run in with the cops in Kavala. It was a hell hole where you could interact and do things that all came with pretty high risk, but you had interaction, and that brought people in. Kavala now is *spawn in, maybe hear initiation, which is irrelevant anyway, and get shot.* You are not going to find people there who want to teach you the game, you are going to find shotguns running through everyone because the server rules and community outlook has accepted the idea that just shooting people is the name of the game. Nobody wants to actually talk about this. This community and anyone with any power will just ignore this issue, and the community itself tends to throw out toxic slander about it. V2 so far is nice on paper, but its just a mission file. Just like you say, if you aren't in a gang or a cop, you don't have fun. That's summed 100% We should not be calling it asylum life if this direction continues to be the acceptable norm. Just rename it to Asylum Cops and Rebels. Honestly, its not even the RDM that's the problem. RDM happens. But it's the constant "Hands up or die" meta the server regulars come in and do every single day that's going to prevent new players from getting any bearing. as for you devs @Clint Beastwood @Azeh Sorry your community can't have intelligent discussion on any topic relating to gameplay and just spits in your face over everything.

How typical and boring. Be like the hacker that gives out backpacks that turn into Slammers when placed on the ground and BABs your ass. At least cheat with some manner of class. /kill scripts are just low tier.

That's the one downfall. Those damn pistolbanging trolls that sit in their house. firing into towns like Kavala and Athira.

I never meant to claim that you did, only that the "just leave kavala" is a small solution to a larger problem.

This is about the the extent I feel it needs to be in too. People don't understand that. Mass VDM/RDM is about the only thing you can logically step out of your way to check. However I do roll my eyes at the "Just leave kavala" argument often. Whether you are or are not a Kavalan, the fact remains that a strong number of new players will end up in kavala because it's the default spawn at the top of the list. I feel it does have an influence on a new players desire to stick around when they join into a bad kavala situation, and only get hammered with "duh just leave kavala" and get harassed for being in kavala when they couldn't know any better. 1. A lot of cops hate kavala and wont go to kavala, and for fair reason. They get downed and kidnapped almost instantly by trolls with no further intention. 2. Regulars including trolls will hands up or die fresh spawns with no further intentions than to shoot. 3. VDM Central. Of course it's no easy solution, and I don't know what would be the correct changes, but I've always been against the "its kavala" thing, because its very one-dimensional and ignores an important fact. Kavala is by nature "starter zone" and we do very little to adress that. I think it could be done better.

Im more hoping we can have the normal arma UI for vehicle inventories still. Personally, I don't like the Virtual inventory UI for my physical stuff.

Wow V2 is already working as intended
