Silver-Spy

With little to no communication since wipe, it has gotten stale real fast. We went "back in time" with removing so many things with the wipe, but did not shake up the map/server in a way that would retain players.  A few of the changes that came with wipe were nice QoL things but all in all, Asylum is still feels the exact same it did years ago and likely doesn't feel 'fresh' anymore to anyone with a few hundred hours much less thousands on Asylum.
Re-adding Shipping/Evidence lockup is/was nice, but I also wonder: Are the plans moving forward to just re-add the things we had pre-wipe? And if so, then there was no real point to wiping.
I remember mentioning it months ago when you had the test weekend for wipe and stating in the community get-together, I felt like a reshuffle of the map would have been a good idea, and I still stand by that even now post-wipe.  Asylum may have wiped, but nothing has really stood out to me since the first week once I had a little bit of money/houses.

Objective: To enhance the APD's ability to handle barricaded suspects and provide a new role for SWAT officers, ensuring more effective responses to high-stakes situations where suspects have barricaded themselves.
Current Issues:
SWAT's primary role often revolves around Federal Emergency Dispatches (FEDS), leaving gaps in handling barricaded suspects. Lower-ranked officers frequently encounter barricaded suspects without sufficient options or resources. High-ranking officers (LT+) are not always available, which limits the response capabilities for barricaded situations. SRT Overview: SRT will be a specialized unit within the APD designed to handle situations involving suspects who have barricaded themselves inside a building. This unit will offer a new challenge for SWAT officers and provide crucial support in resolving high-risk situations.
Activation Requirements for SRT:
Personnel Requirements:
1 SRT CPL (Corporal) to lead the team on scene. 4 SRT officers in attendance (excluding the SRT CPL). Situational Requirements:
The suspect must have a bounty of 50K or more. The suspect must be actively shooting out of the building at officers or civilians. Operational Procedures:
Announcement of Intent:
The SRT CPL must announce their intent to breach the property to the suspect via direct chat. The announcement should read: "THIS IS SRT CPL [Name]. YOU HAVE 15 SECONDS TO EXIT THE BUILDING AND SURRENDER YOURSELF. FAILURE TO COMPLY WILL RESULT IN A BREACH." Breach:
If the suspect does not surrender within 15 seconds, the SRT will initiate a door breach. This will involve a 10-second interaction to breach the door, rather than a simple unlock, ensuring a more realistic and methodical approach. Priority Rule:
If a FED is active, it takes priority over the house raid. All SRT members must return to the nearest PD and reroute to the FED. Additional Benefits:
Leadership Development:
Provides CPLs with valuable experience in leading tactical operations, which is beneficial for those aspiring to become SGTs in the future. New Charges:
Introduces a new charge for "Barricaded Suspect" with a maximum fine of 20K, applicable if the suspect does not surrender within the given timeframe after the breach announcement. New Skins:
Opens the door for new skins for SRT uniforms and vehicles, providing a distinct visual identity for the SRT unit and enhancing the overall game experience. Conclusion: The introduction of SRT will provide the APD with a more structured and efficient approach to handling barricaded suspects. It will also offer SWAT officers new goals and responsibilities, enhance operational effectiveness, provide leadership development opportunities for CPLs, and introduce new customization options for uniforms and vehicles.

i did use CHATgpt for all this but i had to come up with the idea first and type what i wanted Chatgpt to do they just cleaned it up and made it look nice.

Hasn't been a problem for the last 10 years, if you want gutters to play cop go to FiveM.

I have used the hawk against you guys because of the constant fed spam over the last few days. It has been non stop. You guys say the hawk is annoying to deal with even though you still win most of the time. I think you guys forget it is annoying on the cop side to have to show up to the fed over and over and fight the same group all day. Most cops these days want to chill and go on patrol and fight a fed here and there. When you guys are on they barely have time to go check fields or interact with other players. So yes, I have been using the hawk against you guys to give you a rough time and help boost morale on cop. I'm just trying to help the cops have some fun and catch a win occasionally. 
Refering to your comment on me patroling with an armed hawk. That did not happen. Snoop was the one who sent the message and he was just trolling him. At the time the hawk was not armed. I would never do that. Except for one other bank I have only used the hawk this wipe against your gang. 
Clearly this has caused a lot of drama. I am not a toxic person or want to ruin anyones experience. I want people to have fun on the server and stick around. I will pull back my usage of the hawk. I also welcome anyone reading this to feel free and message me when I'm in teamspeak and we can have a constructive talk about any of these issues.
 
 
 
 

Tbh its kinda crazy that when the civs outnumber the cops and win its "get good retard, skill issue".

But when the cops are forced to fight federal event after federal event and finally get enough cops online and outnumber the civs its "Ahh my vagina hurts, let me run to the forums".

People are only happy if they are winning. =/

What!?!? @DarkKnight spawning a Ghost Hawk and ruining events?? That would never happen.

@Darknight is more active then the current "active captains" havent seen one of our "active captains" in like 3 weeks i see DK on almost everyday doing more then all of the "active captains" combind

Wait we have active captains?

Don't worry you have someone who thinks they are an active CPT

I will say, there is no need for a Ghost Hawk when the numbers are that one sided.
Unless a Titan is added to the server to take it out to balance things out.

Ghost hawk pulled and not even an active captain was online. 🤷‍♂️

they also bust out the ghost hawk where the only defense to hold the evidence is wallbangable deerstands.... ZZZzzzzzz

12 civs in a group but 20+ cop slots? Evidence requires 12 cops but u can only have 12 civs?

Please consider using the Asylum Launcher to download the mission file and join the server.
This helps the server by reducing load from everyone downloading the mission file at once and helps you get in the server faster! (on a normal connection it will take a second or two to download vs the full minute when downloading using the game itself) it will also launch the game and connect you straight to the server.
 
This the changelog for August, as with the previous Changelog we are posting the notes prior to the server going live with the update.  We will update the server today Friday 8/9/24 @ 4 :00PM EST.

Id be down to see go karts explode 

Wow no screenshot how am I supposed to know what time you have

Add back all the federal events but rotate them every few days either randomly or on a rotation. Have 2 or 3 active (able to be robbed) at a time.

some people should be banished from making suggestions

shouldnt you sponge them bullets anyway fatty

Increase the storage on houses... you guys lowered the max houses so let us have more storage
Also make the Sickle purchasable at market and make it not 5k

newest one im working on ^ (246KB so far)

These aren't intended to be added to the server, but are just some concepts I made out of boredom. However, if a dev finds something like this to be worth adding ill be happy to work with them to make it happen, but things such as file size and performance definitely makes this difficult to add.

These are just concepts, definitely not finished and can use a lot more work but its mainly me seeing what is possible, this is all without mods. Also all of the added model has 0 collision so it wont affect gameplay, only visual/cosmetic.

1 Venom/Infected Ifrit v.0
2 Cyber Ifrit v.0
3 Fractured Ifrit v.0

I tried keeping them as low poly as possible but even then each file is about 200KB - 3MB

Reply with any other ideas you have that I could maybe make
 
EDITS:

I've discontinued the venom style / purple fractured style as I don't really like them and want to make better versions, the cyber ifrit is still one I'm working on to make perfect
