I didn't see any problem with the former HQ situation, where a cop would tell a civ to "leave HQ or be downed" (or if they're a shitty cop just "Leave my HQ"). Now they are initiated and APD has probable cause if the civ didn't leave. It literally took less than 5 seconds.They are just trying to cut out another step / reduce the RP and engagement required by APD to down someone and give them a ticket.
The barley thing is total horseshit to me. Possession of illegal liquor? For BARLEY? As someone that cooks a lot of barley pizza (so I often carry around barley, water, and yeast), I feel personally targeted here. Again, just trying to cut out more RP and engagement from APD. Will I eventually be charged for "illegal drug possesion" while driving an empty van because that van could become filled with drugs?
This policy update reeks of self interest. Like most APD policy updates, they are in place to allow APD to RP far less while turning over tickets faster and therefore making more money, instead of to make life safer and better for the honest citizens of Altis that are just trying to sell their peaches and go home to their waifu bodypillows at the end of the day. The APD is supposed to be a public service. It is supposed to be there to protect and serve the people of Asylum. These policy changes do nothing but make the game less enjoyable for Civs, while making it easier and easier for the APD to play Robocop. 0/10
@RonnyB Sorry no one takes this post seriously. What makes a life server are the people in it. It's not like Rainbow Six Siege where the experience you get is packaged within a defined rule-set and mechanics, but life relies heavily on the people in it and the attitude they bring. I for one would like to have a much more lengthy discussion on fresh spawns, new players, and how Asylum is completely unfriendly to new players, if not outright repulsive.
Now that V2 is here, Kavala is just "kill freshspawns." and before I get the "iTs KaVaLa jUsT LeAvE" its the #1 place new players will end up, and the server is specifically targeting anyone with no gear on them. Kavala has always been a hell hole, but it used to be a hell hole where you could learn the ropes, get tied in to running weed as a startup, meet and learn fishing/excavation, run the risk of robbing/getting robbed on the areas legal activities, you even used to be run in with the cops in Kavala. It was a hell hole where you could interact and do things that all came with pretty high risk, but you had interaction, and that brought people in.
Kavala now is *spawn in, maybe hear initiation, which is irrelevant anyway, and get shot.* You are not going to find people there who want to teach you the game, you are going to find shotguns running through everyone because the server rules and community outlook has accepted the idea that just shooting people is the name of the game.
Nobody wants to actually talk about this. This community and anyone with any power will just ignore this issue, and the community itself tends to throw out toxic slander about it.
V2 so far is nice on paper, but its just a mission file. Just like you say, if you aren't in a gang or a cop, you don't have fun. That's summed 100% We should not be calling it asylum life if this direction continues to be the acceptable norm. Just rename it to Asylum Cops and Rebels. Honestly, its not even the RDM that's the problem. RDM happens. But it's the constant "Hands up or die" meta the server regulars come in and do every single day that's going to prevent new players from getting any bearing.
as for you devs @Clint Beastwood @Azeh Sorry your community can't have intelligent discussion on any topic relating to gameplay and just spits in your face over everything.
Donald liked a post in a topic by theyellowking in Delivery Missions reinstated ?
