yeah, either way, I don't think anything should have been nerfed, no reason to turn the current players away..
They can keep sprouting all the shit they want about asylum v2 but to me it just sounds like paratus and bamf screaming 64 bit will fix the issues 

It does, because the one closer to Kavala is an OG black market location.  The DP11 black market location was also very close to cocaine field AND a quarry, making the 7.62 weapons crafting a lot easier than they necessarily should be.

There is no risk in black market. You gather the materials and when you sell the money goes right in your bank. Even if cops or civs show up, you just sell as fast as you can and if they kill you, you lose nothing but the truck. Now you have to have gear on you to defend yourself and get to an ATM. It was broken and we both know it. I too ran guns. It was free money. 

im a big advocate for gun running, and i like the new location. though, with the no atm thing and the added cartel cut i feel like im being screwed. now you need cartel AND pan to maximize profits, and we still cant use infamy perks when crafting? feels like quite the nerf to me, again :{  @Gen. Henry Arnoldwhy? :{{{{

@Jesse
-Current number of talents required to be a BH: 8.
-Current number of talents require to be a rebel: 2.  (Rebel + Marksman). The rest of the rebel talents are optional (ghillie suits, sui vests) where I would say the BH ones are pretty much mandatory. Limiting yourself to 2 bounties / 50k/100k cap is too restrictive.
It just feels awful having to sink 8 out of 29 talents to be a BH along with certain other talents being mandatory (6 medical, mechanic/grease monkey to spawn vehicles with repair kits, 2 to see group/gang members on map, potentially 4 if you run drugs, and then the numerous vehicle ones to use the Hatch Sport (unrestricted), box truck + (commercial), and private/commercial pilot if you want to fly. These just seem too excessive IMO and way too specific eating away talent points. I feel very limited in "spare talents" compared to when I go Rebel.
Don't allow a "re-gear" option for rebels or BHs. Rebel is meant  to be a dangerous area for rebels to gear up.  The care-bear level would be over 9000 if I could just click a button at rebel and not have to worry about getting shot with 25-30k on me.  Also, the assassin tree in Infamy seems wasted. It was a thing for maybe a week or two when it came out, but nowadays I never see contracts or hear about them. I don't think a single person in DS has put points into it.

The issue is that if you've been in combat, there is code that prevents you from actually seizing the vehicle. This is not something the APD is able to change.
Let's be real, the APD win rate in a group of rebels pulling Ifrits is pretty low as it is. If they're pulling Ifrits they can afford to lose them.
The seizing in combat issue is tricky.
You need to keep in mind that the APD is not able to change code by itself. We can only change policy.

Just so I'm clear on your concern here:
Your Issue
Close to a restart, rebels pull illegal vehicles out of their garage. If the officers are able to subdue the ifrit, there's small bits of combat preventing a seizure of the ifrit. These small bits of combat physically prevent you from seizing the ifrit through the mission file. The rebels' illegal vehicle gets cleaned up and placed back in their garages since all restarts are hard restarts. As you can see, your issue has to do with code. A policy will not fix that issue. What you are suggesting is the removal of the in-combat code to allow you to seize an ifrit in combat with a few minutes left (less than one minute) until a restart.
While I agree that this could be an issue, the amount of times it might happen does not warrant a policy change or code change.

Risk free? You're talking about a 1 minute time frame out of a 3 hour restart that someone would be able to keep their ifrit. 
 

Apparently winning the fight and making them lose all their load outs isn't good enough... 

Congrats son! Hope you better bring in some money for the household now @Ron Johnson

@GO7NEY this guys better than u

Yes, nitpicking here, but it might be boring for you, but there are clearly people it's not boring for (those logged in). If people want to spend their free time (let's say 8am EST -> 3pm EST) grinding out millions to then throw away once the server is poppin, who are we to say "that's wrong"? If I wanna pull an all-nighter grinding out money using my houses on Server 2/3 because I know my playtime in the near future is going to be limited, I should be able to no-life money-making for a night to be good for the next few days.
Sometimes a quiet server is nice, whether I'm grinding money or just messin around. 

Hey man, I respect your suggestion.
They should also add a bounty hunter shop in Turfs. It's not fair you gotta go all the way back to skiptrace to reload when you're fighting them 75k rebels hiding in their turfs...

Denied for age.
good luck elsewhere bud.

Denied 

im not gonna lie, I joined olympus once with the pure intention of rdming everyone, but the starter money couldn't get me a rook, I feel the starter money should stay that way, even if a small amount of people join and rdm, it can still leave a lot of damage

Ok, what if there are achievements that give you monetary rewards and bonus skins. For example, you catch 100 salmon or something and you get a title called Fisherman and 20k. These are rough numbers and there would be many different achievements that give you miscellaneous rewards. 

Please dont. Thank you.

tryna run some meth here.
