Trioxide

so do y'all not care about the mood of the game at all? You don't think occasional weather is better than it being sunny all day every day? That isn't what it looks like, and you know it lol.

what what?

I really don't think placing down buildings from Tanoa in random places around the map would be a good look. They would stand out too much, and would look out-of-place, especially when considering there aren't many empty places to put a building where it actually makes sense for a building to be. I'm not sure this would help the economy much, either. There are enough houses on the map. Also, the devs already said no to more houses: https://www.gaming-asylum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/120917-barracks-buildings-as-purchaseable-houses/ Big houses and long houses should be A-tier as well... they are on the same level as large houses, right?

Asylum is never going to be back at it's peak on Arma 3. I don't see any problem with wiping the server, though. I think most of the people who still play would enjoy it. The thing is, it doesn't really matter what happens here. What really matters is Arma 4 and how big of a release it is. Yes, the server is dying, but nothing is going to revive it at this point. When there is a brand new platform, which will hopefully get a lot of attention, then will be the time to revive the server.

That's... exactly what they made it out to be...

That future wipe is not a "test" wipe, which is what the post said the data would be used for.

Future test wipes.

It WASN’T, though. Show me where anyone said that progress during the event may carry over to the main database should there be a permanent wipe. Yeah, but it’s not just a handful of people. I’d go out on a limb and say MOST players were at a disadvantage due to the bad and unexpected timing. There’s also a ton of players who skipped the event entirely because they thought it was just for testing.

Definitely do a second wipe for the permanent one. This test event was advertised as just that; a test event. Progress during the event was made to seem as if it would be thrown out after it was used for testing purposes. It was definitely not made clear that it might carry over to the permanent wipe. Lots of people didn't play it for that reason. The event seemed unimportant at that level. It would be unfair to keep the progress of the players who did play, especially considering that the one of the reasons most people wanted a wipe is so they could have a chance at getting a previously owned house or two that they wanted. Wait half a month or so, allow players to get a last bit of enjoyment out of their money and assets, and then re-wipe the server for good. I think a lot of players would appreciate having a little bit of time before losing everything and having to start over, and the ones who made progress during the test won't care about losing it after that little bit of time has passed. It's only two days' worth of progress, anyway. Besides, this doesn't even put them at a disadvantage. They're just being placed on a level playing-field with those who were unable to play during the event but also want a chance of having a good start. Everyone should be ready to join the newly-wiped server when as soon as it goes up, and grind for a chance to get the house(s) they want. It should be a proper race. No one should get a massive head-start, and no one should miss out due to poor timing/planning/explanation of the event. That's the way it should be done, in my opinion.

They could have at least told us that the test data might be used for the main server's wipe... I think that fucked a lot of people over, not just me.

Yeah, event, not main server wipe. It's only two days tbf

I don't think they ever planned to use the test data, but the handfull players who snatched up a good shed or two are now advocating that they do that. Personally, I think they should pick a Saturday or Sunday to start the wipe, and announce the date ahead of time (give players a week or so). I think everyone would be happy this way. Even the players who already got good houses during the test event would have the same chance of getting good, or even better houses. It's the only way that makes sense tbh, everyone wants a chance to have a good start.

I know, but it should still be wiped again. It's unfair to the people who had to work on Friday, and to the people who had no clue that this would actually be the new server data. Idk, that's just my opinion.

There should be a permanent wipe, but the server should be wiped again for it. The devs made it really unclear whether or not the test data would continue to be used should there be an actual wipe.

Do you mean that stuff earned on the fresh database will be added to the main database? Stats, money earned, etc.? And if it is decided that there will be a full, permanent wipe, the database will start fresh once again, not continue with this fresh database, right?

This is arma. please shut up.

Nah there’s a shed that I want

Wait so they had an effect? I’m just asking…

No they fixed it lol

I assumed that was possible. I guess that's all there really needs to be. It would be nice as a feature, though.

Is there a reason that gang leaders shouldn't be able to change the name of their gang? I think it should be allowed. Systems could easily be put in place to prevent abuse. I don't think many people would delete their gang and create a new one because they want a different name (because of perk points and other complications), but people would definitely use this feature from time to time if it was available. It doesn't seem like it would be difficult to implement, and I think gang owners would really appreciate having the option. Maybe it's just me, though. Here are a couple of the abuse-preventing systems I mentioned: Can only be done once every 90 or so days For a period of 7 days, the gang's name is set to New Name (Old Name) to help prevent confusion

There’s already code that prints the system chat message “Player1 was downed by Player2”, so just remoteExec “You downed Player1” for Player2 right there…

A remote tracking feature might not be bad if it came with Master Crusader and could only be used once every 10 minutes or so. This would be helpful to bounty hunters without being OP. Pretty much everything you said is shit, though. Bounty hunters don’t need more trouble with cops in order to make them actually hunt bounties. That’s nonsensical. It will just kill the idea of using BH kits. Bounty hunting itself just needs to be better and a more desiresble thing to do. This is why I’m against the idea of adding a rebel talent tree/version of the honor system. It would deliver the final blow to being a BH and render it obsolete.

🤦‍♂️

Yay now all those random items won’t be complete, utter garbage!
