What else are we supposed to do? Wipe you guys 5 times a day? Lame.

figured the forums were dry with the shitty eazy beats and i got sent some heat
 

I feel specifically targeted.

I completely support the bounty hunter change. A majority of new players do not know how to bounty hunt and will end up breaking some rule going after a bounty. And to those who say it is gatekeeing, you literally just need to drive for around a minute to get to skiptracer. If a player truly wants a bounty hunter gun it won’t stop them. If your bounty hunting someone in a town all you have to do is keep respawning after you die, grab another downing gun, and run back. I think this will balance it out a little more.

shut the fuck up snitch freak

In my opinion promos were generally better handled with precincts. Now that everyone of differing ideologies is together it is harder to get promoted without going out of your way to kneepad. I know some cops who for a majority of their time on the APD have played with corporal+ and follow by their example perfectly and get feedback such as "being too toxic" or a need to improve guidebook knowledge. Idk about you but I feel that the higherups giving feedback should be ready with specific examples or its pretty shit feedback. 
Big +1. I don't care about "gamers" or "roleplayers" getting promoted, but it is pretty easy to tell that lower ranks generally take after their higher-ups. SWAT had the opportunity to have skilled players that the lower ranks could take after, and bring some of the heat off "useless" higher ups but that was ruined from the beginning by giving it to some of the most retarded people on the server. I also don't understand why people are so defensive about promoting skilled players who are good at combat when the sergeant application post specifically mentioned combat proficiency last time I read it. 
Yeah I don't understand how someone can be "Swat trained" and not know how to turn on combat stance. 99% of the time players are 10x better with combat stance on, especially when using armor.
Just because there are over 1000 whitelisted cops doesn't mean at all that is the amount that play. Many people are whitelisted to constable and only play once every 3 months, as well as retired server staff or senior apd who have permanent ranks who probably don't have arma installed.
Not really an APD issue, just an issue that happens when you give kids with 6 month old forums accounts who are irrelevant retards the ability to respond to comp requests.
Retweet brother
It would be sick if giving someone advanced feedback such as the number of votes they got without being specific about who voted what wasn't corruption. Or if the promotion process was at all standard instead of # of votes correlating to whatever was decided that month for promos. Real convenient if suddenly someone almost gets corp but the needed votes was higher that month, yeah? But sure lets give roblox cops and chief of police's high ranks. 
+1 Cops could have mk200s and still lose. For a majority of cops better equipment would not help but good tactics would be a massive improvement. Another missed opportunity for SWAT
Pretty crazy how the captains can tell higher-ups to behave in a certain way because they are working on a policy update that no civilians know about when they aren't even on the server. The captains bending the rules is the most retarded thing I've ever heard. You could narrow it down a hell of a lot by just saying "active captains can bend the guidebook in order to test future policy updates, all captains can bend it with civilian consent, or all captains can drop 1 weapon for someone that is above their rank". Clears up bending the rules and gives them basically the same about of power but much easier to punish or determine if its abuse. Crazy

I mean, this is the exact problem I'm talking about. You're not even playing yet you're already making excuses as to why things are happening. The mindset of the APD as whole is "Well we're bad so rebels need nerfs and cops need buffs". Instead of trying to actually get better at what they do. You say superior weapons and entrenched positions, My gang has had to recently fight the cops who are already set up inside of fed the second we ping at a nearby atm. And guess what, we weed them out and take over the fed. As far as weapons go, basically anyone with a pulse got SWAT at this point so thats a misnomer. They have the same weapons we do, and get 3 free pieces of armor to use as well. They just don't know how to use these things, oh and also their spawn is less than 1.5k from literally every event, so if they die, they can be right back with a full loadout. The main advantage gangs have over the APD is that we can communicate and work together to get something done, while many of the cops play selfish and give up before they even get there. The amount of times I've seen 2-3 cops w/ SWAT load outs opt to stay in Telos and just play sniper elite for 15 mins instead of actively pushing fed is astounding. They need higher ups with brains tbh. Most higher up cops are on the money leader board as well, so pulling some additional armor shouldn't be an issue. Hell, we need to pull armor for everything we do, and if we by chance leave it behind the cops get to seize it or drive it around and use it against us (Captains can use ifrits btws apparently since the guidebook doesn't apply to them). 
TLDR: The issue is, the cops will lose, and continue to lose forever unless someone with a brain and fingers explains to them that they can win these events. The only reason cops hate going to them now is because they lose damn near every one. If the cops were winning every event, we wouldn't be doing them. You're trying to treat the symptoms here and not the cause. Since I write a lot and cops seem to have the inability to understand, let me spell out why federal events are an issue: Higher ups are promoted based on nepotism and unimportant criteria. This leads to the leadership being under qualified and inexperienced to lead their fellow officers. 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. 

If you really want to fix the issue. Start winning events, figure out a good strategy to win the events, or promote someone with a brain who can do that. But none of this happen because the APD promotion process is basically just who can kneepad more. So until then, thanks for the millions in guns and gold gents. I looks forward to the next round of rebel nerfs. 
 
 
Side note: You saying it's rebels trying to bait cops into a player report? Ask the admins how many cops report rebels for literally everything and try to bait us. Like rolling up to an event we're about to start with lights on and no siren. Or setting up in fed and placing spike strips on every gate trying to bait us to shoot them. 

A recent issue I have been seeing is a lot of bounty hunters are RDMing their bounties to turn them in. There is barely any punishment for rdm. They get banned for maximum 3 days and get to keep all the honor and money that they got from turning in the bounty. This is encouraging players to break rules and do whatever they need to to turn in a bounty.

What does illegal even mean. If I have a MX does that make my hunter seizeable?

Big sad

@Max Shorefield SWAT should not be whitelisted.  It should be auto given to all officers online when a federal event activates.  1 life.  Spawn with a wetsuit  / Carrier light MK1 / ARCO or RCO with a strider.
You should hold a training for Fed and have somebody who fights it every day come teach people things.  Hint hint, its not going to be your LTs or captains because they dont know what in the fuck theyre talking about with most of the events.  Ask one of the civ players or one of the old experienced cartel players to come during a training and try to help improve the server.
 
You need to learn how to use vans properly.
Rushing west gate does not work versus a 10 man group where the average player has 8k+ hours.
Deerstands can explode.
The fed wall is fucking huge, think about those words for a minute.
sitting in telos makes you lose fed, not win.
Undercover Orca > Hummingbird with legitimately anybody in it will never be shot down.  make sure the pilot knows that repairing the glass is important if its been ripped.
Hunter's suck dick, so do striders.  All armored sucks dick pretty hard actually.  Learn how to not get shot out.  Don't drive up hills straight, speed is your friend.
a tempest engine gets shot out in 6 MX shots.  Figure it out.
If you put nitrous on your hunter spike stripping a tempest is not hard.
With a shot out engine, a tempest can roll for about 1 - 1.5km With a good driver.
Tempests are armored to 6.5, takes a mag to shoot it out.
Going into a fight 1 at a time doesnt work, pushing in 15 deep at once with hunters and flash banging a deerstand down works a lot better.  You all die?  Pull hunters and push at once with all of them full, have a guy with flashbangs to blow the deerstand then bring a van.
You can van onto the wall and go into the fed in a different area.
North deerstand is closed, the house is now owned by CEO thank me for that idk.
@Max Shorefield You should discuss with server administration on reformatting the APD because you legitimately care and the current leadership does not.
 
Thats all.
