    I mean, you could use that argument for literally anything. Why not MKs? Hunters? Why not give cops sui vests to take down construction? It's not holding onto it for an ego, it's that it's not good for the server to be flooded by these things.

    Don't expect him to understand that, I'm pretty sure he hasnt played the server in like a year

    If you count the people who are doing the servers events as the majority of their playtime trying to give you suggestions to your issues and having a real conversation with you bullshit then you probably have a disability.

    Talk to him outside the game. If he's playing the game, he wants to play the game. I know for a fact he's pulled some of you and talked to you outside of the game. No one is going to listen to you when you kidnap them and you're braindead if you think they will.

    unless we would kidnap him ingame and force him to be able to listen to these suggestions all of which then also go unheard  🙂 

    yeah i would ignore you guys to if you did this. The dude is trying to enjoy a game, probably doesnt want to see a black screen and hear a bunch of bullshit. Also how did we get back to this? Like Jesse said, the APD had nothing to do with it. It was probably more of you guys camping the spawn with tarus and sitting on top of the dome lobbing grenades at the spawn.

    So Randy are you in agreement with me that Orcas should be more widely available then?

    no, -1 to them being for non UC corporals. They stick stick to being Sgt+.

    this was what i heard from many sgts and corporals for the only reason besides orcas as to why they played undercover

    Main reason people play it is usually so they can check fields whenever they want and they can shoot on sight in redzones

    You should have to stay and defend the power box just like the bank, just like the fed, just like the prison. 

    Yep. Not to mention, power can't be restored until every single rebel is out of the lockup. What's even the point of restore power if we can use it when people are attacking

    The cops who did it were higher ups. We had 100% proof of them seizing and I filed over 5 reports in a single week. Only one got accepted in like 3 days because it was a constable. All the the reports weren't responded to for over a week and magically a new policy update comes out and guess what! Seizing after holding for 3 minutes is now allowed! But you want to know the even bigger bullshit. In 3/4 of the reports, the 3 minute timer didn't apply because we had just lost control. Apparently everyone in the APD is supposed to lead by example except the people who are actually leading the APD. Am I the only one who sees this problem? Even now literally in the middle of battles, captains are pulling us out of our ifrits, downing us, then driving back to HQ IN THE IFRIT so they can seize it. Like holy shit, It would be fine if they drove it back if the battle was over but they are actively doing it in the middle of combat to screw us over. And don't give the bullshit "captains can bend the rules". That is the most retarded excuse I have ever seen. They are supposed to be leading the APD, but are acting like petty children to win a fight.

    You're delusional if you think a captain is going to make a new policy to save a cop. They don't give 2 shits if Someone gets into trouble. The second anyone fucks up, they'll be removed. As they should.

    And like I said, the apd needs to be run by gamers and not roleplayers

    Its not a Koth server. Cant be run by "gamers" when the majority of them get themselves blacklisted.

    The APD literally changed a policy just to screw us over and protect 3 cops from points/removal.

    I have also seen several APD higher ups that have absolutely no clue what they are doing and don't even know the guidebook/basic server mechanics. I got a comp request denied because I request 450k comp but it only showed 15k of bars being seized in chat. This is just utter stupidity. Everybody knows that when bars are seized, cops only get a small amount of money from them.

    This is news to me. I had no idea Higherups dealt with comp request. TIL

    Ever notice that a lot of the higher ups are in the same gang/know eachother.

    pretty much common sense that you have to be known by a higherup to get promoted, we arent going to promote random we never heard of. There IS a difference between selecting people you know and nepotism. As for gangs, not really sure what you mean here. The only ones actually in gangs are me is DS and rod in NV. Pretty much all the other career cops aren't in gangs.

    Explain, john, just lucky and karma being promoted. don't even say its skill because just lucky don't even play in combat stance. 

    I'm not going to tell you why certain people got promoted. But I can tell you, in general, we don't promote people based on combat skill, because like i said, there is no skill requirement. Typically we promote people who play a lot, have dedication to the APD as shown through RP and processing, because the whole point of the faction is rp, and people who aren't corrupt or break a ton of rules.

    I mean, you say there's no combat requirement for the APD. Then what is a requirement to be honest? I hear all this chatter of "oh we want to patrol more and RP with the civs!" But in reality all I've seen when I used to have cop was people just checking drug fields and downing new players trying to make money. It's also funny how so many cops say they don't want to do federal events, but anytime my gang pings at air shop there's no less than 8 cops waiting for us inside of the fed. Or the higher ups spending their time/money to flashbang down every deer stand in the fed as well. Not to mention the amount of times our gang house/rebel outpost gets raided for warrant stuff. If the cops were really adverse to fighting so much, they wouldn't be doing these things, it seems to me, that cops do want to fight but only when they have a massive advantage. If you're not sure who's good at combat, it's your job as a higher up to find out lol. That's what training's are for and sometimes just asking and knowing your people is enough to craft a competent strategy. And you say gangs all know each other, as a higher up you should know the people who are under you and make an effort to do so. It wouldn't take more than a week to learn the people who usually play your time slot and figure out how to best work with them, because right now it just seems like another excuse.

     

    Your other point of knee padding not being rewarded I think is also false. Let's just look at the metrics from fights, how many higher ups are actually getting frags at these events? Because from what I've seen, it's mainly the constables and cadets doing all the work. Hell, some SGTs and higher don't even use combat stance, drive with their glass straight at rebels, and aren't even on full auto for CQC. Another example is, lets look at any female member to join the APD. How many female members of the APD are constables? I'll answer that for you, Zero. If what you're saying is true, every female to come through the APD must have shown an amazing amount of effort to be promoted first round to corporal then first round again to SGT and again to LT. Or more likely, it has to do with favoritism which I mentioned before. 

     

    Let me wrap up this post because I've clearly gone on a few tangents here. The criteria for promoting officers to higher ups (in my opinion) is inherently flawed at it's core. My reason being that the people who deserve it the most, and would be the most useful at those positions aren't getting it. The APD needs LEADERS at higher up positions, not just yes man/women who just agree with everything and refuse to think outside the box. IMO, there's needs to be a set criteria for getting promoted, perhaps weighing combat efficiency, police etiquette, playtime, and leadership abilities would be a good start. You could also promote different types of people, for example one player who scores very highly on the combat efficiency scale as well as someone who is maybe less combat inclined but expresses better RP skills. These are just suggestions though, an I know that realistically nothing will change but at least I tried to help.

    Hard to get to know people when there are literally over 1000 whitelisted cops. Also, not what you mean by the people that deserve arent getting promoted? They probably aren't applying then.  Or they're not coming for feedback and working on things to improve. Hard for you to say when you're not even in the APD..

    This lack of leadership causes the rest of the APD to lose almost every meaningful engagement they partake in. This leads to the APD being sad and angry and wanting more and more buffs.

    While you do have some points here, you have to understand that people dont sign up for the APD to do events non-stop. There's no combat requirement to be on the APD, and the people im playing with may be people i dont know. There's an inherent disadvantage to being on the APD. Gangs all know each other well and are friends, they know each others capabilities, everyone knows their part, but the people that are playing on cop may be someone who i dont know at all or very well, i dont know how good they are at combat or what theyre capable of, most people have their own ideas when doing events, and arent as worried about winning something because theres no real punishment for loosing. we arent gonna sit in jail for 20 minutes if we loose, its lower stakes for us. Also right now, SWAT is broken and we cant pull SWAT armor for fed. And id like to point out, i think theres max 7 SWAT slots? on top of that they bug out regularly so i typically dont see anymore then 3 people using SWAT, and Undercover cops cant even access it.

    Higher ups are promoted based on nepotism and unimportant criteria.

    Also, this is not true, I used to think this before I was a sgt, and it may have been that way back then, but knee padders generally dont get promoted now and favoritism is frowned upon when we are talking about corporal promos, Sgt and LT may be different, im not part of that process, but most corporals that have gotten promoted since ive been sgt have actually put the effort in and deserve it.
