Firing pin seems unrealistic maybe unload all the mags like real cops do IRL when they search you for firearms and realize that its registered in your name and then have a 30 sec animation of them reloading the mags

Thank you for this input! There’s some questions here that can be answered and other would have to be planned out but you brought up some good points. But at the end of the day nothing will ever be perfect in Asylum, theirs many ways people can either exploit an event or even make it unplayable at times Question: Isn't the biggest complaints from cops these days that they are stuck always doing back-to-back federal events when the server is busier? Why would they be motivated to just add another to the list? If there are 10 cops, including 2 LTs on, chances are the events are just gonna get started again as soon as the cooldown is over. Answer: As a career cop that spends a majority of my day playing as a constable I’ll say this much, yes it can be over whelming having fed events spammed but it hasn’t been as relentless as it has in the past people tend to switch it up here’s an example yesterday (I was on from 3:30 PM EST til 10:30 PM EST) we had about 3-4 events done within that time frame which all were different from Bank, prison break, and shipment. So the whole idea that adding a cop sided event is a bad idea due to other events isn’t a good way to look at it, at the end of the day our job as the APD is interact with players and make it a more enjoyable experience for them. Community involvement is the biggest thing this community needs to focus on (in my opinion) adding another event to the table is doing just that. This would be the first ever event that can be triggered for the APD I don’t think it would die off as it provides much more content within the APD Question: Locking it behind 10 cops and minimum 2 LTs is gonna make it very rare - including for the reason said above. It also has the potential for an incredible variance in difficulty. One day, 4/5 different gangs of 6+ people will fight over it, another literally nobody on the server will care. How could you possibly balance the payout of risk/reward for that? Answer: We do have LTs and CPT that play often as they’re requirements must be met, it may not be an everyday thing but it does happen and especially with how often training gets hosted now I doubt this would be much of an issue. This can easily be fixed by simply putting materials inside the hemmet instead of doing a payout for civs like bank they would then take the hemmet to a rebel and pull out the materials from the hemmet to sell directly to the NPC this would entice the gangs to fight over it or ally with each other which creates a more entertaining experience for all parties involved. (In my opinion) Question: Your list of "the only things [you] can do" is the entire point of the APD as a roleplay faction. Combat is instigated by rebels and responded to by the police, that's the objective. Why should the APD be reducing its RP contribution to the server? What value does this add? Answer: Community involvement, the APD has had admin events that are similar if not exactly like this event, and the involvement within the community was boosted, it may have not been prefect as this was a new and innovated event but over all gangs around asylum all went for the convoy as it provided them something to do. Question: How do you allocate SWAT? Considering there's no way of measuring who will attack, how do you propose to narrow the firepower gap? Answer: This is a really good question and something we’ll have to work around to think it through, can’t give you the perfect answer for this as it’s something that a dev would have to work around to figure out as they’re the ones that know the coding inside and out. Question: One VDM and it's all over. Also one RPG/vest/speedbomb/remote and it's all over. That truck is gonna look enticing from the cockpit of a buzzard Answer: Yes this may be true but they risk the factor of being banned, with one clear message on the rules of the event may help deter those that wish to troll and end the event. It’s no different then having someone blow up a police ifrit full of bank robbers that are being taken to HQ or someone that automatically flies a heli directly into another heli full of APD members as they’re about to hot drop on the roof of bank again Asylum will never be perfect as somethings can’t be helped, unless the devs can make the Hemmet un-distructible. At the end of the day, this is something a majority of the community wants to be implemented that’s why it’s been mentioned multiple times on the forums and the reason I created a poll. In thought it’s easier to imagine “but when you hand a piece of paper to the person coming up with the idea then it becomes harder” - @Patato but overall thanks for bringing these questions up we need more of them to help the devs come up with better ideas

I can see that being an issue but I believe as long as it’s balanced on either side then it won’t cause to much of an instability within the server. Does it have to be a payout for the civs? Why not load the truck with drugs or guns and have the civs drive it to a rebel to unload the contents within the truck? There’s plenty of events that happen where civs don’t necessarily participate in it and maybe a handful try to go for it for example Rebel Air Drops Ship Wreckage etc Which would be no different then what’s contained within a “Evidence Convoy” except with the benefit of obtaining more money but dealing with the consequences of having armed officers protecting it. Let’s say this, as @Jr4life24mentioned have 1-2 LT present to start a evidence convoy, pay out for officers can be between 30,000 per officer as which can compliment the fact that we only have a certain amount of lives (1-3 max depending on what the devs would see fit) And to make it even more balanced you can only have 2 convoys per restart on top of only able being able to start it with 7 officers online. And I’m sure that LTs would want to start it on a time where the server player count is high as it would make it more entertaining for all parties around.

Please do, I wanna get everyone’s input on the matter within a few days I will edit and revise it hopefully giving the devs a full blueprint to the event

Yeah I can agree the VDM might be a problem, but over all it’s a bannable offense that should have little consequences with the convoy. It would be no different then someone doing a bank robbery and having 4 guys stand outside the zone of it so SWAT doesn’t get triggered except we’ll actually have proof of who VDMs and can send in a report for it Well their could be a limit set for respawn, instead of 1 we can bump it up to 3 respawns while convoy is on the road. And once it gets to the evidence lock up then it’s whoever is in the compound to hold and defend it no respawns after that It may sound complicated but it allows for officers to plan ahead for the event example: having all the ifrits outside the evidence lock up and all hatchbacks roll in to defend the territory if they die then no respawns allowed

With the recent community meeting that was held a lot of topics were talked about from newer friendly player zones to newer federal events, I'm here to discuss the event portion of it. Playing as the APD is a blast but can be a bland at times as the only thing we can do is. Federal Events Interact with players Respond to robberies (which almost never get responded to) Give out tickets Patrol cities and illegal areas Not much content for the APD unless you're a SGT, LT, or CPT as you have authorization to much more, Let me introduce cop sided event. Evidence Convoy Rules: 2 LTs Must be present to start event with a combination of 60 Civs Must wait 15 mins before starting the convoy Must be a minimum of 10 officers online Must defend evidence lock up for 15 mins until all evidence gets locked up Convoy must go a normal speed Convoy must start from Evidence Lock Up to Kavala Check Point (Civs must take the vehicle to Athira Rebel) or Dump HQ to Pygros (Civs must take the vehicle to Kavala Rebel) Reasons for the rules (1.) LTs are essentially a gangs R2, makes sense that they should be the one leading/able to do it (2.) Civs should be able to set up ambush points and road blocks to either delay or halt the convoy completely and also give them time to prepare or halt whatever activity they're currently doing to give them the opportunity to participate in said event (3.) With the current ratio on cops to civ 10 officers should be a good start, this can be twerked to a devs liking as I'm sure the higher ups will have feed back on the event in what can be changed (4.) Instead of making the convoy from start to finish by adding a time frame at the HQ’s this gives the factor of a "Defend Terriorty" for the APD. (5.) We don't want the convoy to go full speed down the main MSR giving time for ambushes or road blocks to form again (6.) Civs have to take the Hemmet to a rebel outpost in order to access the materials within the convoy Convoy Inventory/Payout Must use a Hemmet truck Hemmet can be filled with either with Cocaine bricks, PCP, Wax or guns Payout for officers will be 1 mil split between all officers involved Conclusion This will all be tweaked some things can be added or removed but at the end of the day the community and active player base will know what's best as we are the ones that play, I wanna know you're guys feedback on this idea and hope the devs will use this as the blue print to a fun and entertaining event. Edit S/O to @Jr4life24 for this idea Cop Evidence - Priority #2, (Under Evidence, above mental) would have a payout between Evidence lockup/Mental Asylum. (Roughly 1m+ loot table, could even look into potential for Zafir etc.) Two separate routes would be available, civs must be required to take it to a drop off point in order to access materials inside. (still unsure how to flesh this out fully) Either Dump HQ -> Pygros HQ with a civ drop off point of Athira Rebel. Evidence Lockup -> Kavala Checkpoint with a civ drop off point near Kavala Rebel. Civilians are provided a 5-8 minute warning that a police convoy event is starting. The civs will not be provided what route but common knowledge that both routes must past through the center of the map. Requirements to start - 2 LT+, (They're essentially a gangs R2, makes sense that they should be the one leading/able to do it.) 10 cops and 60-80 civilians. - Reason being, this is meant to be a cop sided federal event that when pulled will want to entice players of all variety to attend and attempt to steal. Given the access that civs have with 50s, quillins etc, we want to ensure the APD has access to all equipment to protect, Civs would also have an updating redzone where the convoy is. Convoy vehicle itself will be one/(two separate) tempest repairs (with the loot split 50/50) allowing APD to keep their vehicles moving and fixed up. Convoy itself will be a moving red zone only for those who are engaging the APD, not for random civs near by. (Assume proper use of force policy.) Payout for cops I'm unsure about, assuming roughly 1m split so about 100k per cop if successful, less of a payout if more cops attend. P.S - I also speak 3 different languages and wish to buy the server

You’re awfully quiet there after being called out for proof or detail on “personal information” seems like you yourself had no idea wtf you were even talking about.

That doesn't sound very professional

Doesn’t sound very professional? It’s a 8+ year old server get over yourself lol fuck professionalism with this toxic ass community lol. And smoothing has to do with recoil scripting anyone can look this up easily and why not? It’s a good way to catch people that cheat on asylum or arma in general, i used to do that back in the day when i competed in COD I’d wanna make sure someone doesn’t have the same email or username as ones used on MLG back when it was a thing

I love how I'm contributing to 60% of the kills in the video above, I thought I was a shitter when I went up against this guy but this makes me feel much better if he got banned for cheating. Also if you look at the clip above you can clearly tell he's not one to shoot at nothing he observes his target and takes the shot in every clip. So my question is at the 18-21 second of the video why does he shoot at a window that I never peaked from and as you see the recoil take its way to the left he immediately corrects it and shoots the right of the window almost like he knew I was there. I mean for someone this experienced at PVP why not shoot through the wall to pen from the start? Maybe he didn't want to be obvious? I'm not sure that's pretty weird

Here's my biggest worry of this all, Is there any point to grind out anymore money because wipe may be around the corner in the near future? At this point I'm conflicted, one minute I hear wipe is going to happen in the near future and the next that its not. Should I continue to grind out countless hours in making money or should I sit in Athira all day harrassing cops. I'm not sure if a lot of people feel this way as well and don't wanna grind out more hours without an official announcement on what's to come from the admin/dev team.. I feel like we're in limbo with a lot of features that community wants to add to the plate (Unless this was discussed during the community meeting that I wasn't apart of) P.S I'm not knocking down the admin/dev team in any way, I'm sure you guys are doing the best you can

Thank god we’re doing it on discord and not teamspeak, everyone talking over each other was annoying asf

+1 I think the main thing that a lot of people are looking towards (just based off the other forums on feedback) is content, I truly believe that adding more content or just moving things around is really the best way to meet in the middle with everyone. Some people love the idea of the wipe and others are hating it but one main thing that's talked about a lot is the content aspect it seems to be the middle grounds with this whole event. Here are some ideas that I have.. 1. Rework of drugs/Implementing some new ideas or carrying through with new drugs - Adding more structures or changing some of the layouts of the current drugs (besides the ones that are already updated) or adding newer drugs without the collapse of the economy would be a refreshing take on this 2. Reworks of the illegal processing areas - We've grown used to a lot of these processing areas maybe adding newer structures that haven't been seen before on asylum would be a nice a refreshing way to include an overhaul of these illegal processing areas. (As a reference is the heroin processing with only a couple of areas with cover and a 2 story building with a whole empty field) 3. Housing - This is a huge one as @ 王 rando 王 has mentioned before which is something that I can stand behind, its not fair that someone logs into the server once a month just to be able to keep and hold houses\sheds. If you're looking for a bit of input on some ideas this is a great reference to go by. 4. Newer Achievements/Quests or Titles - Though this isn't something in particular that everyone's asking for but a lot of players have already grinded out a lot of the achievements and titles, I'm sure some vets or players in general would look forward to spending their time on this to unlock titles or complete quests 5. Adding more weapons/clothes - As of now the only gun and clothing thats ever used 80% of the time are Mk's and CSAT\Granit Bs which I'm sure that a lot of players are fine with using them, but wouldn't it be nice to use a new imported gun or clothing on the mod list or even made from scratch? We must keep in mind that adding content in general can take a lot of time especially these ideas that are listed. These things have to be tested and checked for server stability, so the best thing one could do is create a ROAD MAP That includes when content is expected and what will be added to post on announcements for everyone to see.

I really hope this isn’t this case bc this would be the most pathetic thing this server can do just to keep the population up

If i ever get banned @Mitch (IFRIT)ill make sure to hire a $2,000-$3,000 lawyer for my $450 donation to the server.

How is this effecting you to the point where you have to remove it entirely, it doesn’t make any sense to do that as it does nothing to prevent your gameplay through out your day or what you do with your time spent on the server. It’s your choice to go after an APB. Now giving the ability to SGT or LT to drop the APB to get a new one is definitely something I can stand by. Now I’m not sure if it drops automatically

Honestly i couldn’t agree more, even if we got rid of passive money all that will do is make it extremely hard for those newer players to have to make money consistently while everyone else sits comfortable with 30-100mil in their accounts Its not the APD, It’s not the toxicity, and it definitely won’t be the bigger gangs it’ll be the inability to make money as a new player that will deter them away from the server ultimately killing the server more then doing good one good example is tarkov a well known game, they have wipes every 6-9 months for many reasons and one being so newer players don’t run into a fully kitted giga chad with BP rounds being shot out his eyes

How many people play dom? Absolutely no one even when dom was brought up during this community meeting everyone wanted to move past it because no one cared for it

I don't think you realize that 2 40mm would cost a kit or 1 alone could considering how OP they could be (If the price was set accordingly to them) the rich wouldn't be spamming them every kit not even the richest person on the server aka (leroy) wouldn't spend that much on every kit/death as I asked him specifically what his thoughts on it were. But hey only the old heads would know better right?

So why doesn't every "rich" person buy nades? Or why doesn't every "rich" cop buy flashbangs?

Exactly my point, you make the 40mm more expensive then a nade and i promise that no one will waste that much money on buying them per kit. It may be spammed for the first couple of weeks as a fun new edition, but over all everyone will put it on the back burner and only use it as a meme
