i do agree, these actions of breaking out and re arresting, should have been ezy catch, i do agree there shouldnt be a 175k cap, because high bountys and such and feds. It should have been obvious i mean the same people starting a prison break everytime their friend got arrested by a gang mate, then repeat. you ppl catch dupers almost a day or even a few hours after they try it. 

wouldnt it be feasable to make a script that tracks a gang id and then when someone leaves a gang it pins said gang id to their name for a few days and flags the admins in logs if two similar gang id interacted in that way. maybe hand out 3-5 day bans aswell. Or make it that they cant send a ex gang mate to jail for a week once they have left the gang.
Any one can still bounty boost with 175k with mastercrusader and still make 260k off of their friends. not including the bounty hunter talents that give 15% to group members. 
 

Reverted the arrest cap back to $175,000.

Why does it need to be at 175? If people are abusing it, why cant an admin team consisting of 20 people maintain such a massive part of this community's gameplay and keep it under check and issue penaltys to those who abuse it? This seems like a lazy band aid. 

Cops need reward for the time and effort put in, cops are required to attend to non stop federal events which is admittedly what they signed up to do, to enhance the civ's side experience, but that dont mean they need to be in a situation where 15 of them chase a shipping container for an hour fianally win one, get everybody in cuffs with some big ass 900K bountys, and get paid out nothing for it because of a few morons who should be easy to identify and punish for abusing the system.

This was taken out because it gave people clues to where their shit was that got stolen. This is a bad revert. 

Everything else nice. 

 

Kinda sad every update we give cops more and more of an advantage.

I think a good compromise could be changing the honor tree system and adding honor talents that require a shit ton of points to slowly max out the arrest cap. This way career bounty hunters shouldn't be affected but it would make it hard for people who use bh just for sharing/boosting to get it up and not completely make people think bounty hunting is pointless.

The problem isnt the bounty cap its the boosters if we being real. Not saying bounty hunting was ever a main way to make money but now it gives less incentive for newer players to even try to bounty hunt because who would waste 3  (17-20k) loadouts for the payout of 175k? While solving the problem of boosting you're  going to dry out the flavor of the game unless there's something else coming that we dont know about that's on that caliber of content replay-ability  
 
 
and if it is 175k for each bounty hunter, cop should not be 1m lmaoo that literally makes no sense.  You dont think cops bounty boost?

It's nice when you get a big bounty that you get all of it.  What is the problem exactly?
And if it is due to bounty boosting, why not just make the punishment more severe?  It's kinda a hard thing to catch and when I reported it the two people literally got a slap on the wrist and no reset or anything...which I think used to be the punishment.

Likely will

Agreed. If civs abuse it they should be banned, if cops abuse it they should be blacklisted.
I'm not sure why the cap was brought back down, but if it was because people abused it, we shouldn't be punished for it. 
This limits the incentive to warrant. Bring 1 mil cap for cops.
Aside from the cap, the quality of life updates are the best thank you @Azeh

Why??? When I am on bounty hunter I work extremely hard to catch the big bounty's and now your taking away the ability to make back the money from the kitd and vics Iose fighting people with a mark 1s. 
I vote to bring back the one mil cap.

I used to try to patrol with a only a range master and a P07, while my Spar-16 was in my car. I wanted to see what the RP was like when I wasn't toting a high powered rifle, but in the end, it only ended with getting pistol whipped or having to go to an event like the Fed or Bank, which is just devoid of any and all roleplay.
You want to have fun being a cop, but the only thing the APD serves as is target practice for the high-level players and the fun ruiners for the low-level players.

Or, just a thought here, don't put everything into one big patch, but instead roll things out throughout the month. A) keep the people happy by giving us something, no matter how small. b) You could live up to you saying early august, you could then say "Things will be added early august" then add 2 things. just a thought

shotguns in gun store or riot

Will we still be able to use the courthouses to turn our selves in?

I meannnn how do you learn some time management when they do a bank 12 mins before restart and you get them all downed and restrained with 3 mins left? With this  you should probably change the federal events to be on a lock-down  a certain time before restart. 

The things we make have to be available to everyone this is available for everyone. We’re following the guidelines set by Bohemia. You can also prepare as well by having your house full. And being somewhat prepared to sell stuff as well. There are already other BI approved servers doing this too. 

At one point the ability to have house storage and the ability to purchase hatchback sports were tied to donor level. I get what you're saying, but I wanted a out of the box idea to reward those who choose to financially support us. Without the generosity of a few around here we wouldn't be here today. Nothing we offer is free sadly. And we have maintained donation and purchase status though varuous ownership changes. We have people who play here today that donated 3 years ago. We need to continue our innovation to keep doing what we are doing. Although I wish I was, I am not driving a Ferrari. At best my Toyota will do.

say what you want i know its for everyone but you can choose when to buy it and you can prepare for it by filling houses/cars just my opinion on it 

I mean at the same time those people are also helping to keep the lights on for the rest of the community to also enjoy. 

Pretty sure that's not gonna go down well with bohemia.

mmm. Just busted 5 times in a row.

when the smoke stacked,it was like the first few seconds of the earthquake blur,best way i can describe it.

Make if you briefly run through the smoke you have minimal effects but if you sit in the smoke long enough you should have those effects imo
