HereToStealYourIdeas

So basically Olympus? 

They also have an armed airplane with a 6.5 machine gun. Their Chief was flying it around the other day shooting down choppers that fled. Lol

I count 6 Cartel raids for the restart 

I found the problem @Sugarfoot

If memory serves at full load it is around 30 or so but the last time I looked at it during max pop was months ago and we've added a lot since then so it very well could shit the bed at max pop. 

Breaking News
civil war over in prime
 

i had a dream that a arma 3 server had constant updates and supported rebels and civs instead of cops all the time then i realized i was playing olympus 

He hasn't been with Olympus for quite some time now. I don't know the details on why he was told no here, but he left Olympus at some point or another to work on GTA V RP or something and then we never heard from him again after a while.

I think it's just a Pro Olympus player.
 
Those of us who lurk the Asylum forums aren't going to get into an argument or bitch about how a different community views us on their own forums. We openly have decent relations with Asylum staff, no reason to sour that up when it benefits us both.

You wonder where I get my ideas from lol 
Also your journey from  Asylum to Olympus is intersting to me maybe you can fill me in on it someday.
I here the darkside has milk and cookies 

Ayyyyeee you remember me still <3. Haha. I had zero knowledge of SQF and little knowledge of anything code related honestly. The only official experience I had at the time was some Java classes and some work with Adobe Experience Manager 3 months into my internship. Everything I've done Arma related has been trial & error. From doing my own server attempts and working on the Altis Life Framework Repo before & after Tonic sold out. Anyone can learn the stuff. Just most people lack the motivation to try and stick with it.

The question that pops into my mind is occasionally... "What if Paratus/Motown had actually taken the time to reply to my messages on here about being interested in helping out with Asylum...?" Guess we'll never know...

You mistake hostility for confusion.
Im going to try and use an analogy to explain how i feel currently
Asylum is like Cake, I fucking love cake and you make a good cake. Someone suggests you change the color sprinkles on the cake and in response you go "You guys clearly hate cake here have pie" 
So we are confused as to why you took away our cake and gave us pie. When we bring up the fact you took our cake away the response is "Pie is just fine and its good enough" and you would be correct pie is perfectly acceptable but why not just give us cake with the sprinkles we asked for.

that feel when you are complaining about staff but in reality you are a global banned retard

there is way more things to do as far as making money, illegal and legal the map is distributed very evenly, where every part of the map is used actively..
there is more rebels, including "Warzone Rebel" which is east arms, and they sell Olympus version of a mini defib.."Epi Pen" which revives your teammate and they have a "dopamine" timer, so you must either get healed by a medic or go to a hospital..currently they are releasing a longer timer, or defib? not 100%
loadouts & vehicles are much cheaper , as it is much easier to make money, you can get an orca and a turtle backpack and make around 500k in one meth run....., (two loadouts for fighting) in relatively 20-25 minutes, where as it takes quite a bit of work to make that on Asylum as the cops check drug areas 24/7 and there is no timer or wave rules to return, as for Olympus there is
an orca costs around 500k i think and once you put the 150k insurance on it, it's 150k each time you lose it with insurance..
that's 50k asylum for an orca, then 15k each time you crash it basically..but asylum orcas used to be 120-200k, which is 2million relatively olympus money...(fucking joke) literally thats 7-8 dollars $$ us for one vehicle, if i bought that on olympus you could get around 7-9 loadouts , or loadouts, heli, ifrit, all in one..the groups have no cap limit, there will literally be 3-4 gangs with 10-20 people each fighting for hours on end and there is not one single bit of lag you can claim ifrits you win at fights, they have gang sheds... 
 
THERE IS NO FREEZERS AT THE CARTEL..if you own it, the money goes into your gang bank
honestly the logic behind the freezers at the moment is broken..the admins don't see it how rebels do because they don't get on the server & go cap it..there is honestly no reason to get the cartel unless the freezer is full with 100k..so people dont even bother half the time..yeah let me go sit at the cartel for 30 minutes...then wait 30mins-1hour or however long it is for the money to fill up, fly my orca to the cartel...server kicks you off, you lose your orca & all the freezers are reset...and then when you finally do get there without getting kicked, there is some guy there with a fucking rook and kills you when you take the money , they even made it where you can't put it in your vehicle anymore back then! what a joke! people can watch you take the money out and wait at rebel..Mass kicks started happening...you'd think we'd be rewarded for dealing with it so calmly and trusting the process..but no, they nerf the firearm factory, making it where you need salt..they nerf drug running..they nerf scotch where you have to refresh your crates, they raise taxes on ifrits, orcas and if i'm not mistaken guns, they nerf panagia gun crafting & also nerf orca crafting...literally the only way to make money is doing meth..which is usually camped, or cops showing up every 10 minutes, all the bitching and moaning about everyone on server 5 when there is literally barely any ways to make fucking money anymore and they wonder why everyone just went there to make money?..
 
their fed pays up to 4-10million i think? which is 400k-1m Asylum money
they have blackwater..where you can get DMS scope, mar10,tons more and attachments, csats, armed quillin, striders, hunters, armed blackhawk..and you can sell these to other player or keep them
they have a war point shop , selling csats(you cannot donate for them by the way)
 
honestly im tired of naming things because the list goes on that they have that Asylum doesn't because it's honestly frustrating, we've all been so loyal to Asylum, we've all introduced so many ideas, they are  just all shut down...i mean server 2 was down for ages and there was no warning or post about it..we literally had to find out from a gyazo of a discord chat...(lul) 
 
Asylum needs to hire a coder at this point..They definitely have the money..If Paratus actually gave a flying fuck about the thousands of people who donated to Asylum and donated to his new game he would do something about all this..Literally we are the sole reason he has all that money, must be nice..It's time for the staff to take a step back, admit the server is failing, do something about server 2 & 3..literally people have worked to get houses and setups on there for years...and you just take it away like it's nothing..."Ahh they will be alright, they'll adjust.." that's like taking your code for idenity paratus that you worked on for years and just deleting it...I don't think you'd like that very much...I owned several arma 2 overpoch servers that were semi-successful i earned around $7500 dollars in donations in the first 6 months, I tried to expand and did things my way and ignored my community...long story short it died because I didn't listen to my players..just a friendly warning

I have seen that S1 and S4 now have the capacity to hold 110 players...but why? They both constantly crash, lag out, or get DDoSed. It has come to my attention that S3 and S2 will only see the light of day on the weekends. If you are going to have two servers will a high player capacity, atleast let those who have houses on S3 and S2 sell them so that they don't have to wait to use the things they own. Honestly, I think there needs to be more interaction with the community..as I see slim to none. Another thing that needs to be addressed is gangs. Everyone left for olympus, and there are no more good gangs to fight with or against...maybe some new features for gangs will bring some of the good players back? 
Edit: I found much need to edit my post. As soon as I get on S4, there is a mass battleye kick. This shows how bad of a provider Asylum has. Why doesn't olympus have these issues? I can get on any of their servers and have no issues. S1 and S4 are crashing so much that they are unplayable. No wonder why everyone left for olympus. I just don't get how you can think that making the two laggiest servers be able to hold more players would solve any issue..because it doesn't. If other providers are too expensive, then how about listening to your community for a change? Maybe implement some of the ideas that the community wants instead of playing PUBG all day. That may give people a reason to donate to your servers, because where we are right now, there isn't. If you agree, please say something.
Update:
So now, after two days of this, Asylum is now on it's last straw. Server 4 is repeatedly crashing. As for Server 1, I fear the same. Server 2 and 3 have to manually be put to due to a flaw in the scripts (as far as I know) . If something does not happen soon, I fear the fall of asylum. All 4 servers were full until this dumbass update came into play. Maybe, just maybe, the developers will take a break from PUBG for a few hours and fix this shit. And do not expect Identity to ever come out...if they can't maintain 4 servers on ArmA, they surely won't be able to maintain a full game. 
(and also, no personal attack to any devs is meant)

Competition.

Just noticed today that they implemented the new idea of the servers going on / off based off of the server population.
For those of you that don't know as long as servers 1 and 4 don't have at least 80 players on each server then servers 2 and 3 will remain offline.
In my own personal opinion this is an awful feature to have implemented. Why in the world would you waste your time adding something like this rather than working on something that's more important? I'm really trying to find a way to look at this as a positive change but I just cant. I hate to say it but as we all know this community is already dying and from my experience the only time that 2 servers have at least 80+ people on them is on the weekends. So does this mean that servers 2 and 3 will be pretty much perma shut off during the week and only up during the day on weekends? 
For a player like me who mainly plays on s3 I'm curious as to how the hell I'm supposed to let my scotch age if the server is only up for a couple hours during the day on the weekends. If you want to implement something where the servers have a specific timer on them such as olympus does for one of their servers then I'm all for it. But implementing something that's all dependent on the amount of players on 2 of the servers is complete dogshit in my opinion especially when it's on a server that is struggling to maintain those kinds of numbers and only really shows that kind of player count on a weekend.
Would love some of your opinions on it and possibly what some pros of this new feature could be because I'm really struggling to find any. I know this doesn't have any effect whatsoever on the people that mainly play on s1 and s4 but for those of you that spend most of your time playing on s2 and s3 what do you think about it?

Didn't realize it was a three step program to get information on a server going offline. If only we had some place that was easily accessible to everyone where a message could be posted to update people on the state of a server. Guess im an ass for wanting clear communication with the community. 

But as @Oliosaid "You have high exceptions"

I remember this little man child a few months back slurping the semen straight from APD higher ups. This kid is a cheat and a corrupt individual, lies about things he sees you doing while you are on Civ just to give you more charges. My feedback would be to cut off the supply of APD higher up semen to this kid so he can shrivel away and become the pesky little RDMer that he loves to be while on cop. I guess the APD would promote anyone nowadays. Doesn't surprise me honestly. 

I think it's just a Pro Olympus player.

For me even if that was fixed I wouldn’t care enough to come back servers are dead and devs are lazy. Olympus truly does feel cleaner, better, and etc. after one day of playing it I don’t ever think I can go back to Asylum

Olympus

I'm glad that you've broken this 2 month silence and halt of all development to bring us this groundbreaking news!!!

i've got a great idea...host asylum with the default altis life mission file...then stress test it, give everyone max money, no rules, just a huge firefights everywhere..if no mass kicks..it was the mission file the whole time  & everyone will have had more fun in that single day then the past 6 months
