    Austin Man U canโ€™t report someone who handles every report on anything bro. Theres no higher rank than him. We are putting our opinion here because Mr dark knight can see it and understand rather then reposting like little fags

    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.ย 

    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.ย

    we all know thats not why it was made. why would the requirements be federal events or a bounty? stop playing dumb on every issue.

    I'm not playing dumb at all. I'm just saying these areย 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.ย

    maybe not you in specific, but that doesnt change how the apd has been constantly getting buffed over the last 4 years. Tens of buffs, new weapons, new vehicles(as far as getting the marid) new policies that help the apd. So i ask again, what have rebels gotten in terms of a direct buff? because all i can think of are nerfs

    Well the copsย 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.ย

    in the last 4 years the APD has only been getting stronger i find it hard to believe you havent had any participation in these buffs whether as staff or when you were captain. For example, apd ifrits, cadets counting at .5, apd 50 cal apd ghost hawk apd minigun boat, swat, sending โ€œheinousโ€ players straight to jail. In the last 4 years what have rebels gotten? while im sure you do care about all factions and all playerbases i still think youโ€™re subconsciously biased towards the apd. And while everyone did appreciate the temp policies, that wasnt us rebels getting anything new and it was only temporary. the way i feel about it is it feels like there is no representation for the rebels especially amongst the staff, considering a lot of the staff team were either retired captains or higher ups in the apd.

    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.ย

    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.ย

    I feel like I could argue the same for you too, because you've constantly been pushing buffs for the APD while never pushing anything of the sort for rebels. To some extent you also care more about the APD's experience than ours. The difference is you actually have the power and ability to make a difference in our experiences, while we're hopeless in terms of power. You put you and the APD's interests above ours, we're just putting them right back at the same level.

    we're playing the game the way the game lets us play it. you're a CM why dont you push for a change so that this isnt such an issue; so we dont get the blame for making APD log off for just playing the game the way im allowed to.

    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.ย

    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.ย

    "if i cant have fun, no one can" classic darkknight moment

    another classic darkknight moment from 6 years ago, stole my orca from bank roof and crashed it the ocean cus he kept losing events! looks like not much has changed

    respectfully, ive had mostly positive interactions with you over the years, but you have a history of acting like a crybaby when things dont go your way

    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.ย

    the thing is, its not a deterrent like you think, its not like we've pulled back on the amount of fed events we've done, all its accomplished is making it seriously unfun

    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.ย

    why am I being blamed for how the events are designed?ย 

    ย 

    so then I ask you again, why am I being punished for how the server meta is designed? It literally doesnt make sense to me, the server is designed this way. Its meant to be played this way, and yet when I play it this way, I get punished for it??? Like i said, why dont you put in a suggestion and talk to your posse and say "hey, instead of ruining everyones experience as a solution to the APD not having fun, why dont we change the meta on the server to stop facilitating this gameplay?"

    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 contestingย 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.ย

    BASEDย 

    while we are on the topic why are there so many constables just marching around with free mks nowadays?ย 

    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 Constablesย 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.ย

    I dont think anyone thinks you're toxic or intend to ruin anyones experience, but your actions have unintentionally made it a horrible experience fighting federal events, its simply not enjoyable having two 6.5mm miniguns light you up and you're basically hopeless.

    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.ย

    I just think we are being too nice with how often we pull them out. When they were first added it says โ€œheavily outnumbered or fed spam with no reprieve.โ€ There was 1 fed event before this that they won and then they outnumbered us anywayโ€ฆ @DarkKnightpulls it out anyway. He also was patrolling with it and initiated on a gang member something along the lines of โ€œpull over or get shot by the ghosthawkโ€

    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 checkย 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 winย occasionally.ย 

    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.ย 

    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.

    I understand that some people may disagree. In my experience with the Puri Factory all it seems to be is just another hassle. I miss being able to just double/tripple proccess the drugs. Safer/More relaxed way of grinding. Everyone on the server wants to make money as easy as possible. I believe that returning it to the way it used to be would influence more people to run drugs. I understand why its a thing I just feel that grinding so hard to make money is part of the reason that less people are attracted to asylum and that's been made pretty clear by the community.

    TLDR - Remove Puri its pointless and creates a 2x bigger hassle when running drugs, not to mention all the valuable drugs already require 3 ingredients.

    Another option would be to keep puri for the drugs you have to get more then 1 ingredient for but allow other drugs like coke, heroin, LSD, etc to just be double processed at the processor.

    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?ย
