  1. Lol you guys are crazy its so simple what happened to your server You slowly transitioned from fun light RP to straight cops vs robbers and you wonder why nobody wants to play Cops just log on and run from fed to fed while if you get 1 or 2 new civs a day they get slammed in a city with no one around to help them and leave and never come back People want to have fun and light RP and you removed that so nobody wants to play simple no changes or additions are going to fix that, the server culture is the only way to fix it; and unfortunately it is way too far gone sad to see this server go but you guys had a great run
  2. Cops should be on cop to RP. Civs on civ to do everything else. Cops main priority is to promote roleplay.
  3. Good lord you guys have proven my point to a tee. If you want to do fed events go on civ... COP is to promote RP on the server... Cops have gone from RP ----> cringe over the years and now the server is paying for it. RIP asylum I will never forget you o7
  4. There are 6 cops on and 32 players total. They are ALL in the bank channel. It is Friday night 7:55pm EST 12/10/2021. Every cop online is catering to the grandpa and grandmas on the server; we have to cater to the first timers. Limit Fed events to one per server and get the cops back in cites. The server is very close to death. https://www.battlemetrics.com/organizations/4212 We went from #1 to #9 in a matter of months. It is not that ARMA is dying; its not that people are in school its not any of the BS excuses you guys say. People want to RP and have fun; give them that. Put the cops in cities and make sure they know that their number one job is to promote roleplay LIKE YOUR GUIDELINES SAY. I have plenty of hardcore asylum players on my steam friends and they are all on gta5 rp servers; its not because gta5 is better its because GTA5 HAS ROLEPLAY SERVERS. It sucks seeing something I loved for almost 10 years die in front of my eyes. ::cries like a bitch:: please listen to me I promise you I am right.
  5. Dead but able to be revived with proper leadership and direction
  6. It's very simple to fix this server and attempt to get a player base back. Cops need to be in cities - they are whitelisted not because they learned all the rules and the callouts for the banks lol they are whitelisted because their job is to promote roleplay; this is in the guidelines for cop when you apply -- it is like one of the first things you are supposed to learn. When cops are running bank fed bank fed the entire server life they can't be in cities. What happens then? The cops can't be there to protect new players, arrest shitlord RDMers, roleplay and have fun and the players log off. Fed events should be 1 per restart maybe 2; when a FED is not active there should be a requirement for cops to be spread out in cities. Cops should also be able to leave a fed event after 2 lives without anyone bitching. Shit in my opinion cops should be able to not even respond to a fed event; I got on cop and during the new "peak" hours where 50 players are online and a bank gets hit I don't respond and get dragged to the TS channel and asked "WHY ARENT YOU RESPONDING TO THE BANK?"... I then have to explain I am in a RP situation and I feel like the higher ups are angry about it lol... its so cringe. I logged on the server a few weeks ago to refresh my houses, it was like friday or saturday @ 8 or 9pm EST and there were 60 players on the server...I got off civ and hopped on cop and I was in teamspeak with a LT and SGT and we were chillin just patrolling Athira and speed trapping. We pulled over some people and RP'd for like 20 mins and had a blast. The CIVS we pulled over said "I don't understand why this is so fun I never have experiences like this with cops". The LT told him "this is what happens when we aren't running banks/feds every second". I have no idea who i was with because i don't care but it was refreshing to hear the truth from some of the higher up cops. Let cops leave fed events after 2 deaths, require them to patrol cities spread out, and watch the player base return. Nobody gives a shit about cartels and banks that is not the server. The server is a roleplay server and that happens in the main cities and the attention should be paid to said cities. When you cater to the fed events and cartels and huge gangs the end result is an extremely unhealthy server as we are seeing now. CATER to new players / first time players to the server and they will buy your skins, buy your car honks and most importantly... THEY WILL STAY ON THE SERVER.

  13. FYI There are other paths to success: Kind qualities, for example, are consistently found to be as important in social partners, evident in human populations across the globe. Does it pay to be someone who tries to gain social power by creating a social world of fear and intimidation? Yes, it can But are there other routes to social success, such as building others up rather than tearing them down? Absolutely. Hey man... why don't you just tell us whats wrong? maybe we can help your micro dick ass?? poor guy lets help him
  14. Nobody wants BH in the server.. the only people who want it are 5k DMV campers just end it already
  15. $500 dollars is an extremely slow day for me. Some people don't give a fuck about that kind of money; including me. Is there a problem with supporting the server and getting some cools skins for doing so? What the fuck do you care? If anything it gives the owners and devs more incentive to make the server better and popular.
  16. Hello! Please don't flame me friends/nerds; I just want to explain to you guys why we can not reach 60% max capacity on weekends and why the owners / admins of this server are chasing the wrong goals. v2 is not going to change anything... I started playing on this server in January - August 2015 when a super popular streamer played on it and I wanted to try it because of said steamer. I fell in love with this server and had so much fun on CIV I quickly applied to cop, went through my week long application/training process, and played that too. I remember every night I used to log on and play so much having a blast on cop and then i would switch to a different server 1 or 2 or 3 (i mained 4) and cause chaos on my civ account with friends and have a blast. Fast forward to 4 years later; the servers are 20-50% max pop and mega disappointing to play on. What happened? Here is my opinion (its just my opinion.. take it easy).. 1) the server is not a "light" roleplay server anymore.. this server is a gangs vs. cops server...You play in a gang, or you play on cops, or you don't have fun. RDM is rampant on the server and anyone new joining is going to have a terrible experience once they log on and guess what.. they are never coming back and they are never telling their friends about this server. The RDM in all areas is out of control... I don't know how you fix this without putting player admins in place as no one gives a shit about this anymore as the server is taken as a joke... 2) the number 1 rule of APD is to promote roleplay... and they ABSOLUTELY do not do that******* Cops log on and its bank, fed, prison break, kavala for 20 mins then server reset. repeat. It is cops vs. robbers 24/7. The problem is just the server direction. No rules are enforced. There is no punishment for Fail-RP.. too much work to report people etc... Additionally; no one tells cops that there #1 job is to promote RP in game. You log in as cop and you get maybe 5 minutes of RP and you are then zerging a bank its the same thing every time. RP on cop is very hard (not for me) but for most because it requires patience and most cops are children / immature / impatient / misguided / playing cop for the wrong reason. When I log on cop I run with my weapons holstered.. I am NEVER the first one to fire a shot... and it is very discouraging most of the time. "Hands up or die" then I'm shot in the face after one second will happen 9 times out of 10. I will get someone who is actually interested in RPing and talking 10% of the time and it is usually a fun experience for 10 or 15 minutes then its back to the regular crap. Unfortunately there are no viable solutions to this (in my opinion) aside from desire to play on the server, which we no longer have. Back in the day when Lirik played (I think 4 or 5 years ago? maybe 3?) we had 4 servers packed at 100/100 during peak hours and you had to log in with a macro... the high desire to play on the server made much better RP because you did not want to get banned, you were there for fun and people wanted to play on the server; that feeling is gone now. A possible solution would also be to allow cops to not have to respond the the bank/fed/prison breaks. When you have 7 or 8 cops on during peak times why should we have all of them at the bank, then fed / prison. This means that there are no cops in any cities or on highway patrol. This means the civs just rule the cities themselves and the RDM goes rampant and it makes a terrible experience for civs. This means that the 1 or 2 people that are logged on for the first time have a negative experience within their first 1 hour of playing and never come back. It is so important for this server to be new player friendly and unfortunately it is the complete opposite of that. Yesterday I logged in on cop, there were 7 other cops on, server 2. I think it was 8 cops and 41 civs when I logged on. All 7 cops were in one channel grouped up doing something in the HWpatrol HQ. Server restarted and we did a briefing in AirHQ. 3 FSA members attacked us during briefing and we killed one and downed another the last one ran. For the entire next hour, the other 7 cops were chasing this one FSA guy to that island in the middle of the map lol; they just kept chasing and dying and chasing and dying. I went to Athira channel alone, patrolled Athira and actually found some decent RP. I found some guy with a 60k bounty and I holstered my weapon and talked to him. He was explaining his charges and during that he told me "i can't believe you are listening to me I never explain my charges because there is usually no point as I just get full ticketed or sent to jail". We had a fun time and I gave him a 10k ticket and for the rest of the server uptime he would see me and say "Yo RonnyB!" and the other civs saw that and didn't RDM and they talked and interacted and Athira was fun for a server cycle. What I would do at this point for a quick fix, which would work, is change the cop salary from $155/5min to like $3-5k/5min. Then, make sure they understand their number one job is to promote role play and also make Fed/Bank/Prison optional or just put a 1 or 2 life rule on it and that's it. When a Corp+ sees cops bunched up, reem them out. Ensure the cops are in cities patrolling and promoting RP, if they are not, blacklist them. This would make cop desireable to play on; at this point the only way to make money on cop is to ticket and kill... why should that be the case? Increase their salary, change the direction from ticketing/killing to promoting RP and enforce it. Less tickets, less jail, less killing, more RP and cops still get paid. TLDR; read it sorry

  18. How does the auto landing work? When I fly a plane from the main airport and hit autoland it starts to fly it way far away from the airport. I'm just curious. Do you have to mark the airport you want to land at somehow? Or is it supposed to land at the nearest airfield? jw
