If this is a stab at house hoarding, which hopefully it is and NOT a money sink, then why not just reduce the inactive days from 30 to 7 for you to lose a house? Make it 7 days that you don't access your house and you'll lose it. Same exact outcome minus the losing new players and even the already rich players who don't want to pay over 100k to maintain their houses. As a player who uses my money to fight cartels, and to create situations with the APD and such, which is what keeps the server alive, I do not hoard money or have the capabilities to do so, I make enough money to fight and fight until I need to make enough money to fight. If I have to pay for my houses every 7 days, when I don't even get that much time to play on top of work and college in general, then why the hell am I playing anyway? If I have to grind every time I get on just to maintain the ability to spawn somewhere else? To store things in something that's not a car, which can be stolen? It is quite frankly a stupid implementation with no thought under it. Find other ways to sink all of the rich players money. This is the only DEFINITIVE way of killing Arma 3's life servers. Asylum is one of the only ones left. Don't ruin what has been so great.

I played early 2017 to early 2019 before I quit 19-20 I know tower lag has always been an issue, and that lag in general has always been an issue. I also understand that the game is dead and 'competitive cartels' will never be back like they were, not a new player here. I've been in the scene for a while, just not very active on the forums or within the community, only the groups I played with. The problem isn't solely the fact that they're lagging, it's that they're blatantly abusing it in almost every single fight we encounter. The clips keep coming.

Competitive cartel fighting is completely dead because of this issue. Fighting cartels nearly always ends in a loss because of invisible and teleporting players, not to mention they're practically godded because it's so bad. From a standpoint of a player who focuses cartels and federal events, cartels mainly, this shit kills the game for me and makes me want to quit. No amount of money should force players to play at such a disadvantage compared to these VPN players. Don't you ban people for unfair advantages? Why can they still play. It is unfair.

@tom
"Makes you wanna quit, yeah you didn't play when the server used to kick you every 25 minutes.
Unbelievable how you new gen players have to have everything catered to you."
I have Been here since late 2014, played through all the aids.. But when i have higher ping than these people and NOBODY calls me out for this kind of shit, but EVERYONE is calling them out for it that makes zero sense for that statment... like seriously look in side chat when ever someone dies or kills someone who we know is on a VPN.. its legit cancer. the delay is fucking outrageous 
 
 
Also for the headshot video, that's just arma. I still see headshots not counting for the standard kills in KOTH/Wasteland/CQC and shit. so that's irrelevant as fuck

I have no idea why but for some reason someone thought it was a good idea to allow VPNs for certain people.. this is by far the worst decision made for this community.. If you cannot connect to the server without a VPN that's a you problem, it should not affect every other person in the community because a handful of people live in a certain country which doesn't allow gaming or long periods of gaming. Lately its been almost un playable unless you have 10-15 people to fight against these gangs with VPN access as it creates enormous lag when they send the data to the VPN service which sends it to asylum and back adding a delay in data transfers. I have never witnessed someone die and then kill someone a solid 50seconds - 1minute after death until now and that person is running around like its tower lag but on the ground and when in a tower almost invisible inside a wall or beneath you shooting you from nowhere... This has to stop or I feel people will quit playing.

Just a few clips to show what i actually mean..

Please take note Doxino dies at 0.7 seconds, stays dead but kills Manhua at 0.54 seconds while dead.. makes zero sense how this is happening...
This is Doxinos Point of view of the above video, as you can see hes dead. stays dead but kills manhua somehow? yeah ok..
I know tower lag is somewhat cancer but this? this seems new https://gyazo.com/b1cefc0b97e89a89c0aeac8413f7e182
Where did i die from? the moon? or am i missing something...
 

In game name - Doxino
 
player ID - 7656119808024393
 
Age (must be 16+ and mature) - 18
 
Arma 3 hours (Must have 1000+)- 
Arma 3 asylum hours (must have 200+)- I've played Asylum for years, the time is definitely inaccurate on MyAsylum. Just a heads up.
How many hours per week can you put in approximately ? - Split between work and college I'll usually be on during the night time. I will put in an effort in keeping things in order and making the gang work. Hours per week ~40
 
Do you understand what this gang is about and what are focus is? If you do then are you willing and able to participate in these regularly? - This gang is about cartel fighting. Learning techniques to have the upper hand in cartels, dominating the server and spreading our name with respect. Throwing GGs after a cartel fight regardless of how hard we smoked them and or got smoked. I am exclusively a cartel fighter, it's what I do. Other than federal events and the occasional random event.
 
What previous gangs were you in and why did you leave? - On Asylum I've mainly been in gangs me and my mates created (small 3-6 member gangs just so we can cap cartels). I used to run Keonix on Asylum, I disbanded it because it was at this point in time where I moved to Olympus. When I moved to Olympus I co-ran Anonymous gang, a gang in which controlled fighting all around Altis. We had several in depth relations and alliances with other gangs, some of which we had to drop. Basically we were in control, I left this gang because of permission issues (only gang leader could control a lot of scenarios, and wasn't always on) / Olympus prime time dying out and moving on to other games like Rust. After recently reexploring Asylum, I joined Zenith. I am however leaving as I would like to lead my own gang amongst my long time friends.
 
Why do you want to join and how could you benefit this gang by being a member? - I want to join because I am interested in building a gang from the ground-up and doing it right. I can benefit this gang because I have experience within discord and Arma 3 Gang discords, and leadership within an Arma 3 group/gang. I am looking to keep the gang strict on comms, and keep out any idiocy or immaturity. I am also a valuable member to have pushing a cartel, I worry about my teammates, and will attempt to insure everyone gets a rev if they need one, simply thinking as one or as a gang, you can realize that the dead guys kit on the ground is also your kit. Pick him up. I also am a good shooter and know my way around Ifrits. I can also control a team and enforce tactics and comms effectively. I'm not worried about people not liking me, pick your shit up, dude.
Who referred you to this gang or asked you to join? - Co-created with Trapstar this app is an example!

If this is a stab at house hoarding, which hopefully it is and NOT a money sink, then why not just reduce the inactive days from 30 to 7 for you to lose a house? Make it 7 days that you don't access your house and you'll lose it. Same exact outcome minus the losing new players and even the already rich players who don't want to pay over 100k to maintain their houses.

It is quite frankly a stupid implementation with no thought under it. Find other ways to sink all of the rich players money. This is the only DEFINITIVE way of killing Arma 3's life servers.

This would require people to be doing runs for way longer than they need to be. You have to do a run every single week for your house upkeeps. Not everyone has that time to grind house electric bill money, and still enjoy the game. You're only thinking about the rich players. This affects all the new players. Say you're new and just bought a new one crater, you now have to pay that one craters cost every single week. Bullshit and not fun at all. This update is going to lose players and make Asylum die even faster. The end is near but it doesn't need to be because of this unthoughtful forced out update.

Yeah, I agree, none of the ideas I stated have been thought about or actually have anything backing them, I was just throwing alternatives that came to mind quickly as I wrote the response.

Naaah. That's stupid. Just remove electricity bills for people without crypto upgrades. Fixed.
I'd be happier with ifrits being 1k each than having to waste so much money on houses I ALREADY spent a ton of money on.

So every 7 days. 
45k for a 40k house
45k x 3 for 150k houses
45k gang house. 

225k every 7 days. 

How does the system make sense? a house that can hold 1000 inventory has the same electrical bill as a house with 3000 inventory?

Seems like a lazy uninformed implementation without any regard for balance and adressing the problem of house hoarding and more concern on a money sink.

Ive heard if you upgrade it with crypto you have to pay 200k+ per house upgraded? Can anyone shed light on it?

Seems a bit extreme for me, i understand the need to free up some houses and stop people hoarding, surely a progressive per house would make more sense than a flat rate? what's your thoughts on this? 


Im 

this is how it is already correct? Dont play and lose your houses after a certain amount of inactivity?
Does not paying your house electric bill cause you to lose your house? If not i fail to see how this is relevant?

This system is retarded.  I could see it applying exclusively to crypto but this is a money sink that fucks with new players more than anyone else

This literally makes me NOT want to play the game.
I don't play Arma3 to grind. I play to have fun. Now I have to spend an RPG equivalent loadout every week. 
Why not try to fix the server lag before adding in stupid shit?

for one house...? It's EVERY house buddy.
Congratulations on not keeping new players around.

145k for 1 shed with mining rig in it , a mining rig i used for 2 restarts then my console vanished and i made 1200 in game for 3.5 mill invested lol . hopefully it  changes soon or ill just find another server/game   . straight up money grab update 
gonna give it a few weeks and see what happens but that was a rough start.
