This patch looks sick. Great work devs! 😎👍

That was beautifully typed out. 07

You won't have to worry about me anymore. As of today I'm going to take a very long break away from playing cop. It is now clear to me that I have had a negative effect on other people while in the process of helping the APD. From here on out I will log on civ instead of cop to help players that need an Admin and talk with the community on server feedback. I took this position to help out the players and make sure their voices are heard. I love this server and the community. I have been here since 2014 I want to keep this server alive and make it to Arma 4. I welcome anyone to DM me at anytime. When I'm free we can talk over your ideas or concerns. We can also use voice chat in team speak if needed.

I'm not playing dumb at all. I'm just saying these are policies I didn't make. Those are two seperate policies. One is so a Captain can send someone being toxic to jail and the other is for players spamming federal events.

Well the cops received those buffs because the rebels were very hard to beat. At one point keeping cops on the server was very hard. We would have a full server and 3 cops on because cops were not having fun. Over the years rebels have had a lot of gear, guns, and vehicles. What would you like to see added? As I said before I always welcome feedback. If you think the rebels needs some buffs lets talk it over and maybe we can see some stuff get added. Before the wipe we added a shit ton of strong guns for civ only. I know it didn't work out but at least that shows we are willing to add more for the rebel players.

I did not add the ifrits. It was (Ifrit)Mitch's idea to move the other armor down and add ifrits for LT and Captain. It was also Mitch's idea to add the mini gun boat. At the time it was thought of just being a meme. I did not make the change that made cadets .5 of a cop. To be honest I was never a fan of that. The APD lost 50 cals when I was a Constable and they haven't been added back since. Bada asked me if I wanted 50 cals back and I said no. It was also not my idea to add the ability to arm the ghost hawk. I was already retired for 2 years when that happened. I did not make the heinous player policy either. That was made so a Captain can send someone being very toxic to jail. Once again I was already retired when that was added. I go way back man. I got Captain when Bamf still owned the server. A lot of these changes you don't like were after my time. The last thing I remember asking for that the APD got was the MXSW. I wanted it for SGT plus. It was the owners at the time who made it Captain only. I promise you I am not as pro cop and you think I am. I used to play a lot of civ. I did a lot of fed events and cartels. I always tried to keep both factions in mind when I made changes.

That was just me giving Xehons some out of game steam banter. As I said before I'm not the one who stole and dropped the orca in the water. I had it recorded and Bamf and Clint saw it.

What buffs have I pushed for the APD? Since I have been CM I haven't pushed for any. When I first got CM my main focus was to talk to the civs and get feedback from them. The first serveral patchs were almost all civ stuff that the players asked for. It was also me who added all of the temp APD policy changes for the wipe to make sure the civs had a fun experince. I may play a lot of cop. I do it because they always seem to need the help. That doesn't change the fact that I go out of my way to make sure players have a good experience on the server. I have already told you I'm trying to find middle ground here. Believe it not I care about all of the players. I don't just want to tell the devs to only allow 1 or 2 feds per restart. Conversations like these are how we fix these problems. In my first post I invited anyone to talk to me about any of these issues. I rather talk changes over with the players and not make calls behind closed doors. Did you even read my post lol? It talks about everyone else that is playing on the server. I always have fun at the events. This has nothing to do with me. I also never act salty "when something doesn't go my way". And I need to correct your video. I was not the one who stole your orca. The Admin that I was playing with had the idea to steal your orca after you took ours. It was also his idea to drop it in the water. The only thing I did was messged you guys to see if you wanted to trade helis. I only jumped out when the pilot did because I didn't want to die. I was the passenger not the pilot. I was able to prove that to Bamf and Clint. That is why nothing happened to me.

It can be considered a deterrent but I don't look at it that way. As I said before it's there to be a thorn in your side while you are spamming feds. I know it won't stop you from doing them but it could allow the cops to win or cause you guys to take a break and go fight a cartel. I say this with respect. Sometimes it seems like you care more about "your" experince then the other players outside of your gang. Think about it for a second. We have had a shit ton of gangs do events since the wipe and your gang is the only one that deals with the hawk. All of the other gangs have regular fights against the cops because they do other things inbetween the fed events. All you guys would have to do is pull back a little bit and none of this would be an issue. Then cops could do what they want and fight you guys at the fed. I won't lie, it has been a battle trying to keep the cops on while you guys fed spam. At the rate you guys are going you might not be able to do them anymore becasue there will be 3 or 4 cops on. I would like to avoid that. As I said before I'm just trying to find some middle ground here.

To be fair the server was never intended to just be fed event spam. It's a light RP cops and robbers server. Cops are supposed to be able to drive around and patrol fields and cities. Show up to 911 calls if someone needs help. Feds are just one part of it. When one group spams feds all day it throws off the balance. The group spamming feds is taking our full attention. We aren't contesting illegal areas or interacting with other players. The reason the hawk was added was to punish the groups that did non stop feds. So the fact it is a thorn in your side while spamming feds just means it's working as entended. As I said before I will pull my usage back. I'm just giving you the back story on why it was added in the first place.

Since the wipe I have passed out 4 MKs. I gave 2 to Charks 1 to Gravity and 1 to Jake who is retired staff. I have played a lot of hours this wipe so far and I'm not seeing a bunch of Constables patrolling with them. While I have been on the server there hasn't been a single time where we have handed out MKs to every cop online. What normally happens is a Captain might hand out one or two during fed events or to let a couple cops enjoy them on patrol for a bit.

That was a great shot! 👍GGs.

And I get that. I did it to be rough on you guys. If I over did it I appologize. Just please understand for most cops it is not an enjoyable experince fighting feds all day getting pounded into the ground. Even if we win a few of them it can be annoying. It's the same thing over and over. People like to do other things. I was just trying to find some middle ground. We may get some kills with the hawk but your gang still comes out on top and wins a majority of the time. I explained my reasons for this. I did it for the constant fed spam.

I have used the hawk against you guys because of the constant fed spam over the last few days. It has been non stop. You guys say the hawk is annoying to deal with even though you still win most of the time. I think you guys forget it is annoying on the cop side to have to show up to the fed over and over and fight the same group all day. Most cops these days want to chill and go on patrol and fight a fed here and there. When you guys are on they barely have time to go check fields or interact with other players. So yes, I have been using the hawk against you guys to give you a rough time and help boost morale on cop. I'm just trying to help the cops have some fun and catch a win occasionally. Refering to your comment on me patroling with an armed hawk. That did not happen. Snoop was the one who sent the message and he was just trolling him. At the time the hawk was not armed. I would never do that. Except for one other bank I have only used the hawk this wipe against your gang. Clearly this has caused a lot of drama. I am not a toxic person or want to ruin anyones experience. I want people to have fun on the server and stick around. I will pull back my usage of the hawk. I also welcome anyone reading this to feel free and message me when I'm in teamspeak and we can have a constructive talk about any of these issues.

+1. I have brought this up a few times now. I'm going to push for this to happen.

Great work devs!! Once the patch drops if anyone has any ideas or concerns fell free to blow up my DM's. I'm really excited for this patch! 😎👍

We have plans/changes coming. I can't give out details just yet. I wil make a post about it as soon as I can. Shouldn't be to much longer.

The events were a lot of fun. Thanks to everyone who showed up! 😎👍

Then don't go to purification? As already stated going to purification is an optional step. Some players use it and some don't. Why remove it from the players that like to make a little extra money?

That shouldn't be a problem. We record it and take a lot of notes.

Sunday May 19, 2024 at 4pm EST. Bring thoughts, concerns, and ideas. This will be in discord in the community meeting channel.

Great work!! I hope everyone enjoys the patch. If any of you have ideas or feedback regarding the patch feel free to blow up my DMs. 😎👍
