I was once, such as yourself a scotch runner and potentially one of the biggest scotch runners. It was the easiest money I've ever made. I estimate that I made 25-30 mil of scotch over the years and I was never once caught by the cops. I was robbed maybe 6 or 7 times in total. The amount of risk that scotch took to produce seriously did need to change. In my opinion it still is one of the most lucrative ways to make money when you consider the risk involved and how much actual effort is involved in the start to finish process. I personally feel like they may have gone just a tad too far in the balancing, but that is quite frankly negligible. If you wanna hit me with the "you're an admin now, your money is free" argument, then go ahead. Even when I was not an admin I would try to get my gang to run scotch on the massive scale that I ran it on, and I explicitly  encouraged them to do so because it was OP. If you don't believe me, hit up all the people I played with over the years and I'm quite confident that the majority of them will back up what I am saying.

Reserved spot for when I get home from work to post my reply... tldr scotch is better now
 
Changes to scotch in v2:
-Your whole house acts like a ageing barrel. Your scotch ages as if you had 3 individual barrels and let’s you store ingredients together.
-Server stability is 100% reliable, no unexpected crashes to mess something up.
-You can now age as much as you want of your tier 2 scotch to tier 3 without having to wait for a server restart.
-You don’t have to show storage on each house to age your scotch, it’s all automatic now.
-The price/profit of the activity is unaffected. There is just a slightly higher risk to an already low risk activity that is still done by many people and even the richest in game.

Please put your suggestions or ideas below for player uniform and backpack skins. Feel free to suggest a base uniform or backpack that your idea or suggestion could be skinned onto.
(It's limited to uniforms and backpacks also when it comes to wearable items).

@Mitch (IFRIT) can we make Lucien's post pinned or something like, tried fixing it for hours and seen this and bam.

Upon popular opinion now of both owners, 8/5 staff vote, and majority of the community in this poll... The pain system and painkillers will not be returning.

Thank you to those who expressed their opinions by votes and commentary.

If someone told you - hey I need you to fix the teamspeak server every day after work/school for a majority of your free time.
- The first thing you would think of is "sure no big deal"
- Now do that every day for months, and months, and month's and see how you feel.
- Now picture the fact that everything your doing is for a game you didnt create so half the time the shit you do breaks because of shitty functions that are built in to the game or just for reasons that you may not be able to figure out easily without proper debugging tools that dont exist on a shitty video game server.
- Now if that wasn't annoying enough - lets pause right there and remind you that you are NOT getting paid, you are NOT getting appreciated, and you are NOT going to be able to re-use this code on a future project.


You dont think that half the people that work on this shit would rather be doing this for a GOOD game and getting paid real money? For fucks sake they could be getting paid a nice salary to go fuck around with a mobile game but there doing this to help you retards play.


I dont even play this shit game but I appreciate the effort people put in for the rest of you morons to play.

Nail.
Head.

I mean we have lives? It's as simple as that. We fixed server crashing. The content left out was majority of what was told was going to be left out. I only have 2 days off this week. I'll maybe spend 1 night on asylum stuff this week. There's more than just in-game stuff. There's stuff that the admins need. Stuff that the forums needs done. There's support tickets that only Clint and I can do. There's a lot of stuff that needs work too.
We never claimed that once V2 released we'd be slamming out weekly updates or anything...
Pretty much sums it up...

We're also doing what we can, when we can. However, my real life stuff comes first. Always now. I use to put it off. Not anymore. Had things back when happened a few months sooner, things would be a lot better now for Asylum...

Been almost a year now  

I was planning on making a meme on @Innate cause I got bored but then @ron the player gave me an idea, enjoy ❤️
 
 
Credit too @Gregg for posing as the mass rdmer, and @Lucien, @YuSheng and some random Sofia trolls for being our subjects for the screenshots ❤️ 

As we continue to work behind the scenes to get the new medic systems into place we wanted to give a look into where we stand and some of the things coming.
 
                            
First off let me officially congratulate @Jake as the first Chief of the Altis Fire Department.
Jake has been and will continue over the next few days to get policies in place and begin to fill out the ranks. Helping him along the way is Assistant Chief @Bread. 
The rank structure is quite a bit different compared to the APD where we have 3 captains with 1 of them being an admin chief of police position. At the end of the day the CoP is still another captain when it comes to policies and decisions for the apd. On the other hand, the AFD will have 1 Chief position that is the ultimate decider in all related matters. As Bread is doing, there will be 2-4 Assistant Chief positions that are responsible for helping the Chief to make new policies and enforce AFD guidelines. 
The other ranks are as follows:
Paramedic - (Junior Staff) 
Advanced EMT 
EMT 
EMR - (Cadet) 
 
In addition to new uniforms for each rank you will also be seeing some new vehicles and old ones with new skins moving around Altis with the launch of the AFD. A huge shout out to @Boon whom without, much of this wouldn't be possible. His work has been far above and beyond what we could imagine. He has created almost everything skin wise from the logo, to the teaser image you see below. We've also brought in @GO7NEY to help finish off the new skins and chalk this part of the project complete.

 
One major game-play change to highlight is the working relationship between the APD and AFD especially around federal events. While the APD holds command authority during such events medics will be on standby to rush into harms way to assist those who are in need. The APD and AFD will have joint communication channels for all federal events as well. Their teamwork will also extend outside of major events around the island, more to come on that later though. While there will always be some friction when new things are introduced both factions have agreed to have policy changes in place to help alleviate as much of that friction as they can.
Finally, how do you join? Like the Apd there will be applications on the forums. We hope to have them opened very soon, right now we plan to open them prior to the new medic system being implemented on the servers. That means there will be a gap of time between acceptance and the new faction rolling out. In the meantime the old un-whitelisted medic is live on the servers but has no impact on any rank for AFD.
There is still some work to be done, as such there is no ETA on the factions release. We are expecting more information around the AFD to be provided by the Chiefs later this week. 
 

Maybe Temporarily open up server 2 just so people can transfer some things from that server to the houses on Server 1? I know for a fact I got shit ton of things on Server two I'd like to put to use but with the population lock, it's all just sitting there in a box, collecting dust and some rust. I mean seriously, I'm wasting away my LMG's and RPG's man!

Professional Basement Dweller. You'll need a college degree if you'll ever have a chance at getting this position.

This will be going in to effect very shortly on the live servers. Just handling some last minute stuff.

Also, the updated "Donation Goal" method will be going up soonish (next few days). It'll basically be very similar to what community goals offered just minus tiers. So instead of making you guys reach various goals, it will just be one. Then we'll maybe add some other stuff to it, etc. This WILL NOT be the same as Olympus where you donate for features, rather you're donating for a community goal basically. Sometimes we may throw features in, however it'll be unlikely due to how thin we're spread with development resources.
