Asylum needs someone to point the finger at and say they're the bad guys. I'll accept that title. You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
Congrats on your first ban bub #FREERICKYSPANISH
The cartel shouldn't have a cooldown. You guys are watching non-stop cartel fighting for the first time in almost two years in this server's history and you decided to revert the one change that made it happen. Cooldowns only stop fights or make people stop fighting because they're locked out of having FUN on the server. Fighting groups play this server to FIGHT, not go AFK at a drug processor.
Hotfix #4:
Re-added the HEMTT Fuel truck
Removed a duplicate garage in Athira
Fixed rubber not generating correctly from the oil cartel
Removed/updated alcohol recipes at the spirit destillery
Added 5 more civilian slots
Removed the "Whitelisted" text from medic slots. Everyone now has access to EMR on medic, but the faction staff is able to remove you if necessary.
Windows of the first ATM building at the bank can now be shot out properly.
Lowered some of the sidewalks in Pyrgos
Removed repair kits, first aid kits and backpacks from spawning in cop and medic vehicles.
Hi all,
I have noticed a lot of uncertainty with the upcoming wipe and I would like to make a post to hopefully put those uncertainties to rest. I also intend on instilling the confidence that I have in this wipe to the rest of the community. As I have mentioned in a previous post, Asylum is at a state right now where getting on and seeing a 30 pop server is something to celebrate. Our developers have been trying furiously hard to pump content into the server that would allow player to have something to do in hopes of bringing more players onto the server. The problem is you cannot pump new content into a server where most of the active players are already at "end game." From an administrative perspective I have been able to see how players typically move on the map, and most of our playerbase do not go out and leave the spawn cities. If they do, they are typically fighting cops at federal events and then right back to sitting in Athira or log off once the cops do. For a server that is based around player vs player interaction, this is not healthy as it leaves nothing to do across the rest of the map. For this reason, a wipe would be the next best step to possibly bring back these player vs player interactions and learn from the previous mistakes that caused us to get to this point in server health.
I do understand that losing years of stats, money, and houses can be frustrating for our current playerbase, but if we sit idle and do nothing, those aforementioned items mean nothing. For those who are concerned about this, you do have to realize our player count has been maxing out at 15 players some nights. We have kept pushing out content and listening to suggestions on what to add, remove, and change but content is not the current issue. I also understand that not wanting to grind is an issue. But I assure you that this wipe will make grinding a whole different and fun experience as it did with the test wipe.
Understanding this reasoning, you should be very excited and confident for this next wipe. A couple months back Asylum had done a test wipe (mentioned above) to see what a wipe would look like. We collected a significant amount of data and took in how the community had felt about the wipe. With this data, your voices, and what we experienced, we had learned A LOT which will allow us to move forward with this wipe in the most professional and organized way possible. We also saw in the wipe that the player vs player interactions that Asylum is based around were occurring allowing for an amazing wipe experience.
As I have said in a previous post, I have never seen our staff team more dialed in and connected in terms of having the SAs/CM and the developers on the same page. We have past Asylum greats throwing their hat in the ring working with our newer staff members to ensure that this is done correctly. We have people within the server staff team and outside of the server staff team working as well to give our server a face lift and a breath of fresh air. We have already announced a solid foundation for the wipe and cannot wait to get it out.
There are also many things to look forward to after the initial wipe. This wipe allows us to continue on as a community, staff team, APD staff team, and AFD staff team, and reflect on what had happened in the past and learn from this. This server has been around for years and this wipe offers us a solid base in terms of new beginnings allowing the community to grow and push forward reflecting on and learning from previous experiences.
With this I hope to continue to hear your voices in TS and read your forums posts as the staff team works diligently to get this update/patch out. I would like to also hear and read any other concerns you guys may have after reading this that could possibly be answered. All eyes within the Arma 3 community are on us. Lets make this happen.
Thank you all for your dedication and loyalty and I hope to see you all in game.
Best,
Junke 🍌
