  1. Had the pleasure of fighting the Madrid tonight. (Yay for testing) 

    Its super easy to deal with for the following reasons; 

    1. Tires stupid easy to shoot / damage.

    2. Back window lets you kill everyone being transported in the Madrid.

    3. A hunter or Ifrit can easily flip it over. 

    After fighting it at a bank and a prison I vote give it to the APD. Not like the captains / swat are actually going to use it.

    I honestly don't even RP with the cops because it's just fucking AWFUL, I try to kill/avoid and kidnap them as much as possible. Then if I finally do get caught I just alt tab out and do something else because I'm going to get a full ticket anyway. Or even better when it's a higher up and they want to give you a 50% increase because they are being a salty fuck. In other words, cops come to Kavala guns blazing, try to down everyone and usually get fucked. Then go on a leathal spree which results in all of us getting pardons and them leaving or them getting shit on again and leaving. Hell sometimes when cops come to Kavala I just log off or stand in the square doing nothing until they leave.

    Phil, not all cops are like this. And again its a two way street. 9 times out of 10 when we come to Kavala we get kidnapped and locked in someones house and re-downed every 10 minutes over and over. After that happens to us we aren't exactly in a good mood either and that means that the quality of RP goes down. When we finally get someone you guys sit across the bay and shoot up the HQ with 7.62 and then rush it with everyone from Peachstreet, Bambo Union and Boats and Hoes. Both sides of the Kavala conflict constantly do some horrible stuff. Both sides need to give alittle and not just take.

    Rock isnt far off, while Asylum is a light RP server I can remember times spending 30-45 minutes talking to people with huge bounties. They always had stories and such it was nice.  I pardoned alot of people back then for simply trying to RP, didnt have to be great.  Im not really sure how people are equating trying to RP to a job, thats the entire purpose of the server. To run and gun and at the end of the day try and RP your charges and get some banter with cops.  Now its just "im reporting you" , "you're gonna get demoted", and shit similar.   Used to be if someone didnt want to RP they would just go AFK and let themselves go to jail. Now is all about insults and slander.  Cops get tired of the toxicity from people and deal with them harshly, which in turn leads to more toxicity.  While I dont expect people to be boss at RP, it would certainly help if people at least half ass attempted.  

    I equated having to walk around on eggshells to being a job. I never said or implied that RP was a job. There was a reason why a lot of people left the APD during the rain of Durga and such. I also find it priceless that most people glossed over Oliva's post about Paratus thinking that the APD rules were too complex and that rules were more generalized at his request... 

    It kinda lets you know that even Paratus doesn't want a hardcore RP APD.  That he just wants people to have fun

    I disagree slightly. Although you are right that they do not have reasons to RP, the thing is that no one aside from the APD ever had an incentive to RP. The reason there was RP was because there was a foundation of RP set by the APD that gave others something to work with that allowed them to RP. That foundation was that the APD was made to RP as REAL police officers. Everything was strict, the cops feared breaking the rules in the slightest, it was a tight shift, and because we spoke in a way that civs thought we were real cops, the immersion was real and it let them RP as if they were really being arrested or talking to cops. It is way too relaxed now and I whole heartedly believe if we even change this one simple aspect back to the way it was, the RP and fun in the server would drastically improve. It's not a "real" police department anymore, just a role slot on a server.

    Granted I don't believe I could set the example as it stands, which is why I deem it necessary for everyone to swallow their pride and enlist the experts that made it that way in the first place to AT THE VERY LEAST get us started back up again with it for 2 months or so. Those experts are: Durga, LeonHearts, Nighteyes, and Shkar. With these people training the cadets and putting the Sgts and LTs in back in line, I am fully convinced Asylum can return to its former glory.

     

    I think the "RP" nowadays is grossly overestimated. Reducing a ticket and listening to a story is not RP. I mean seriously acting like a real police officer (we ran it so tight it used to seem more like the military) that people actually feel like they are being arrested by real police. The way I see the cops acting in game is absolutely pathetic- but no one seems to care.

    Rock, you also seem to forget this isn't a job. It's a game, where we go to relax. We shouldn't have to walk on eggshells. If you want Hardcore RP then goto a hardcore RP server.

  5. There are a few things that have reduced RP on the servers in general. 

    Bounty hunters 

    • Massive boost to the bounty hunter abilities.
    • No requirement of RP for bounty hunters other then hands up or be shot
    • MX's with both lethal and non-lethal ammo 

    Rebels 

    • No incentive to RP to reduce tickets when you have massive amounts of cash that's amazingly easy to make.
    • Banks that are done to kill the APD and not make money forcing lethal's. 
    • Feds that are done to demoralize the APD to steal all the gold in the fed - I'm guilty of this one. 
    • Little to no incentive to negotiate at the bank / fed / in general, as both sides prefer to go in guns blazing as most of the time negotiations don't happen.  

    APD

    • No incentive to RP. Why reduce a ticket when you can robo cop and get a bigger payout 
    • 25K High value target. Some cops HVT when there is no real reason to do so, and when they do as soon as they hear a shot they send the person to jail.
    • Harassment from other APD officers when you pardon or reduce tickets to much
    • Higher-ups that don't care and hold the rank because they can
    • Little to no incentive to do well in the APD as promotions are more or less a gentlemen's club. Just depends on how popular or which friends you have. 
    • No reason to not be corrupt, you get temporary blacklist and get to come back in a few months. 
    • Over generalization of the rules, this allows some cops to be total scumbags and get away with it. 
    • Gangs using the APD to attack and demoralize other gangs

    Both sides Civ and APD need to make an effort to RP. One side can put as much effort into the server but unless the other side does the same nothing will change.

    That implies he asked if it is good at killing people. And even if he did, whos to say the gun isn't used for self defense against people? To correct your scenario, *Crispy walked into a gun store and asked how much an AR-15 costs*

    He joined an Arma3 hacking site and asked for undectable arma3 hacks .... hmmmmmm 

    more or less the same thing... isnt it ? Would it fly in a Court room with a judge probly not without other evidence... but this isnt a court room.

    Once upon A time I used to play DayZ. After one too many times dying to the teleporting invincible people I decided to take a look into getting some "skills" of my own. I registered on some website and I was browsing the plans, but you know what? I decided against it because by the time I had put the effort into looking into hacks I had already forgot about why I was looking in the first place. Perma banning Crispy for registering on the website is no different than giving him a DUI for walking into a liquor store. And its actions like this that paint admins in a bad light.

     

    Also see ya bro, was always fun playing with you :)


    Or going to the gun store and buying an AR-15 and asking if its a good gun to kill people with. 

    Then getting arrested for planning a mass murder. 

     

    Oh wait.

    Dude you took Johnny's face off on that one.B) I'm just glad no one was forced to go on a date with BABS. So downing gatling guns on the ghost hawk will be in the next patch right?? :D

    I spoke with a couple of unnamed admins.  Bab's bans by caliber of round...  So with that stated we would have been able to use that ghost hawk....  Without a Bab's ban...  But an admin ban would have came because it's exploiting....  Ugh 

     

  9. So a few nights ago Kodak Black and his team of ruthless bounty hunters captured us at pygros rebel. 

    Last night after a failed bank I was revived by the APD but they failed to pick up every lockpick dropped by my group. This video shows me steal either Kodaks or Dutches orca in revenge! 

    EDIT - Had to reupload the video without the music....
