    Too many cooks in the kitchen is right. I’m glad to see you’ve taken it upon yourself to take your negative ass out of the kitchen a long time ago.

    I have to wonder, this is the 2nd Captain announcement thread you’ve come into in 9 months to just bitch. You were a Lieutenant at one point so I don’t think it’s difficult to put two and two together. Just saying.

    Server’s doing phenomenal after V2’s release by the way, since you care so much. Performance is great, we have @Jake and his crew setting up the Whitelisted EMS and Fire.

    Moral is the story is that the world moves on. You haven’t.

    I stop by on the forums to entertain myself. Its funny how much that bothers you.

    From a peak of 100/100 on 4 servers to one that isn't full on weekends. The fact that Asylum needs THREE Captains for ONE server is hilarious in itself--classic case of too many cooks in a kitchen. If anything, it should be a reduction in the #s of APD, not promotions given out.

    Worked, took 2 mins to do. Wonder how long till they catch on and fix this b/c people start uploading 20 min gifs to their server.

    When a dev starts responding to people's remarks (negative or not) like this, that's when you know the ship is already half sunk. I understand the effort to defend your/the team's work, however your response just seems immature for someone in such a position. No wonder people complain about how "toxic" Asylum's community is. I'm starting to regret some of my previous efforts to support you guys.

  5. This train wreck of a thread just exemplifies what I said about APD not being meant for RP. Simple way to get rid of all this drama:

    MISSION STATEMENT

    • Sirens = pull over w/the assumption you're under arrest. Get out of the car w/your hands up and no weapon in hand or be shot.
    • Get caught doing illegal shit = full ticket. You can tell a story and the officer CAN give up to 50% off if he wants but isn't required to do so.
    • Break out of jail or assist = fine + jail time
    • Kidnap a cop = strip him of his gear (make it a talent) and then kill him or release him
    • Banks/feds = required to attend, don't be a pussy
    • No more precincts even if v2 brings server pop back up
    • Dismiss all Lt/SGTs, start election for a fresh batch of 4-8 that have better gear + vehicles
    • Remove UC from the game, it never worked right and is just a waste of coding time
    • Everyone can rank up to Corporal based on time played (track their hours). So no knee padding required and at that rank you should be able to get lethals but not before.
    • Make lethal scenarios very black and white so there's no gray area. If someone breaks the lethal rule and there's clear evidence, demote them back to Constable for a month.
    • Get rid of APDs point system. It is far too arbitrary and it does lead to favoritism. I  know many people who only received 1 point for infractions that normally got others 3 or a demotion.
    • Allow street language for APD, no sir this and sir that bullshit. They aren't waiters at some high end restaurant.
    • SGT+ rank is voted upon by current sgt/lt/captain + server owner.
    • Sgt/lt/captains have term limits and must elect replacements after 6-12 months. Once they retire, they go back down to the rank of Corporal w/no reqs. Getting the aforementioned ranks should be hard work.
    • Give captain armed ghosthawk w/limited use scenarios.
    • Remove helicopters from all ranks except for SGT and above.
    • Give rebels access to a lot more arma 3 guns to even out the odds and lower the price
    • Make gang wars worth it like Olympus by using the points towards rebel outpost gear. In fact, since Jesse has the code, just copy Olympus straight up.
    • Whitelisted medics who will be the RP faction of the server along with civs if they choose
    • Admins cannot spawn in items or loot unless doing a special server event w/the consent of 2 other admins and/or server owner. Their only perk will be getting free server money (set amount) each month. If they are caught spawning in loot w/out asking, get rid of them. Inactive admins = removed.
    • Admins must start at the bottom of the APD just like any other regular player. No favoritism given to them. No admin can be Captain/SGT/Lt and admin at the same time, you have to pick one or the other. Admins should have ZERO authority over the APD and get rid of the 2nd Lt rank.
    • Developers should have no ability to ban people or arbitrate server affairs. Leave that to admins/server owner/apd. Nobody wants a Gnashes 2.0. If a developer is caught abusing their privileges in-game, downgrade them to contributor for a period of time. If they do it again, then remove them perm.

    Simple and if this seems largely a copy of Olympus, it probably is because they do it right for the most part (some of their APD rules are stupid af). Oh and one more thing, inactive admins should be removed and they should not be given it back. Admins should be required to be active and if they aren't, get rid of them. I always found it strange that Asylum allowed admins to come back after 6 months to a year on break. Don't give me this bs about it being hard to train them either, any monkey can copy/paste scripts and run an admin tool.

    That will be all, back to Apex Legends.

     

  6. Requiring any kind of RP is ultimately self defeating. The server  isn't structured towards it nor can it pivot to be due to mission file limitations and what you can do as a cop and civilian. The best policy would be to drop all RP requirements and let cops give full tickets to those who get caught by the APD and if they turn themselves in, a 30% discount at most.

    The mission file is cops vs robbers at its core, the APD aren't suited to be judge and jury. Keep it simple and straight to the point.

    I would recommend for a testing period, The removal of cop lethal pay-outs. So that when a cop kills a wanted person it does not remove his/her bounty. 

    It would be an interesting test to see peoples reaction and to see if RP is used more. Along with cops having to use downing rounds, and only using lethals to get a advantage over the fire-fight. 

    Thoughts ?

    Wouldn't work, it would encourage bounty boosting and stacking in areas low rank cops can't reach effectively with tasers. Ditch RP, keep it simple with cops vs robbers and just enjoy the combat. People gotta stop pretending this is an RP server.

    As for retired Captains, they should be Corporal like everyone else with no reqs. Put term limits on Captains (is DK STILL a captain??) and get rid of precincts permanently--they were an awful idea from the start. Force retire most  Lt/Sgt and only leave about 4 Lt and 4 Sgt. Give  those 8 people much better perks and loadouts than the rest of the APD and make sure they have superior shooting skills, leadership and game knowledge. RP for lower tickets is a colossal waste of time for all parties involved, there are many other avenues that could be explored for fun. If you want to keep RP, force APD to RP with hostage takers. Implement a system to strip APD of their gear so you can take their shit when they are restrained and then put a bullet in their head once you have their gear.

    The servers are too different and why would olympus merge with a shittier server to have someone else as an owner? Use your brain.

    Because Jesse was lead dev at Olympus so merging the two under one mission file and dev/owner is more sensible. If they wanted a distinct Asylum flavor, they could take the core Olympus mission file and modify it rather than starting over.

    So much hate for cops.

    Everyone in here bitching about RP needs to go watch some Mr9mm videos, or even some OLD (emphasis on the old RP heavy) FSA videos.

    Just the other day I had an officer chewing food who said he really didn't care and with some extra effort and a fake accent I got gear from a sergeant. I had a different name and a fake accent but maybe they knew it was me and that's why? I'd like to think it was from the effort I put in to negotiate and role-play a bit though.

    The best role-play I've seen lately is from the random civilians. Not rebels.

    I'd also argue, because I've certainly been that butthurt officer before, that the stigma currently is being blindfolded for 8 minutes. "Drop gear or die lmao, bet you won't role-play and give us free shit for wasting you time anyways." for 1 minute, then a summarily quick execution in the last minute before 10, or just a logout after 10. So of course officers aren't very excited or happy to be kidnapped. The status quo is 10 mins of black screen and role-play so stale it could be in a year old cereal box.

    Props to Aleec or whatever for his water-scooter circle thing. At least I got some chuckles from that even if I was blindfolded for a few mins the one time he did it. It's just about being fun/humorous/interesting.

    Failure to role play Including, but not limited to:
    • A severe lack of role play.
    • "Robocopping."
    Up to 6 points

    This exists ^^^^ start reporting it if you want more role-play in the APD. Create demand and supply will come.

    Or just try and do a role-pla prison or bank robber when I'm on. I love that change of pace and barring getting overruled by higher staff I'll do my best to make it happen.

    TL;DR - Be the change you want to see. If you aren't seeing the change you might be the problem. Be interesting.

    That rule is dumb, I RP as robocop so I have to robocop everyone. Talk about ruining my immersion.

    Why would this be? Asylum has continued to wane over time while Olympus still goes strong? Is this really due only to the server performance?

    This is a genuine question. I have not played Asylum actively in a good while, mostly because its seemed too dead and lifeless (at least at the times I can play) and I just can't be sure a new mission file alone could rekindle a full population or even return S3+4.

    Olympus is just a better server overall. Performance aside, it has whitelisted emt, cops that don't pay for loadouts that can use street language and not listen to fake toxic RP and be forced to give 50% discounts, bigger variety of weapons, gang war points you can actually spend on weapons/armor, better designed map layout, better activities etc. I don't play Arma at all anymore but I left Asylum permanently 2 years ago for Olympus because Asylum was too rigid in its ways and boring and it's still the same old shit. Maybe Jesse will change that with V2 but he'd have been better off getting Olympus somehow than starting over, especially since Arma itself is a dead game.

    The best thing to do would be to merge Asylum with Olympus with Jesse in charge.

    Thanks guys, I appreciate the kind words. This was a hard decision for me but truth be told I just don’t have time for video games or Asylum anymore. It would not be fair to the staff or the community to be an AFK owner.

    I will never forget the great times, friends, and laughs I’ve had since joining this community in 2014. This community was my second home for many years, but all good things must come to an end. I salute you all and I wish you all the very best in your life endeavors.

    GL with everything man, you were a cool dude to play with back in the day.

    Generation Z and Millennial's are not the same thing. Take advantage of everything around you, because if you don't then someone else will :^).

    I mean I see where you are coming from as the rich and corporations dodge taxes (like our shitty joke of a president) while screwing everyone else but by abusing general return policies, you just harm yourself long term because the bean counters at these companies force policy changes at the detriment of customers (eg Costco had to change TV returns to 90 days due to rampant abuse).

  12. Watched the video and this is honestly what Altis Life is about, interactions between players, not shitty montages or cartel epeen wars. @BaDaBiNg_10-8 you need to add the ability to completely rob someone of their gear even if they aren't your bounty like Olympus because that's a feature Asylum desperately needs. Just make it part of the final BH talent tree so people have to grind for it.
