  5. Remove Qilins - It's a shit meta

    Remove them. Forced people to use ifrits on olympus, except that all of the gangs on there died. L

    Still worked though

    If all the gangs died then clearly it didn't have the intended effects. A better alternative would be to write a script which disables the quilin anywhere near a cartel. That way it's not removed to please a subset of a server population.

    Olympus has this and a way to remove who has keys. We can do this easily as well. Fuck Olympus

    Aside from the last part cuz I still like Olympus but their housing system is light years ahead of Asylum and you can assign temporary or perm keys to friends. They also have a gang shed system which is far better implemented than the gang house system of Asylum. If someone does something better, copy and improve on it like the Chinese, there's no reason to make excuses. @Jesse since you probably had a hand in coding a bunch of that I bet you could add it here eventually.

    Would entering a second floor balcony count as and exploit? People, especially APD, love to exploit the games physics engine and "hop" onto balconies. If players access the second floor balcony in any other way than through the locked door, I think it should be seen as exploiting. 

     

    @Hoodlum Priest has especially fallen victim to this in his Athira DMV house next to the Gen. store. Cops just "vault" from the General Store 2nd floor to his balcony. 

    No.

  15. Money being worked on or ?

    Well now that the money cap is gone,

    and the group cap is gone,

    I really don't see the problem making money anymore.

    If Leroy could make $62,000,000 by eating berries and chopping quadbikes it's more likely a problem with your strategy than a balancing issue on the server tbh.

    Money cap and group cap don't magically solve deficiencies in the mission file setup. Holding up one or two guys as an example and saying its easy doesn't make your argument valid either. If the OP is complaining about relative ease vs money sink for new players on both servers, then he's right in saying Olympus is more newbie friendly. Insurance for vehicles and high payout for legal runs being an example.

    I recall gnashes telling me one day that if you factor in the economy difference (1:10) that Asylum pay was equal but he failed to take into account the tempest, insurance, more varied load outs on Olympus, WPL and other easier means of pay with far less money lost such as whitelisted medics and APD (unlimited free load outs with higher payout on seizes vs Asylum). Even something simple like vigilante/bounty hunter is much easier on Olympus because they aren't assigned a target but rather have access to the entire wanted list and can pick and choose.

    As for the APD, Olympus constable equivalents aren't required to kiss your ass and give you half off while getting boned with seize caps like Asylum, they toss 100% tickets at you most of the time with few exceptions and they lose nothing if they die. With regards to whitelisted medics as a form of income, you can easily make $200-500k+ playing casually over there but life here as a medic is garbage because the APD revives people that are dead.

    @BaDaBiNg_10-8 you know what I'm talking about as we both complained about this on Asylum last year. Once you fix stability you should definitely look into an economy revamp here.

    Money making on Asylum just needs higher pay for legal runs so meth isn't the end all be all. The OP is kinda right that its somewhat easier on Olympus because you can do legal runs in a tempest and make a lot of money. If someone robs you and chops your vehicle, you get it back if you have basic insurance. There are no such protection mechanisms on Asylum which makes life hard for new players. 

    As an example, I started with nothing on Olympus last year and only casually earned money but by the time I left I was in the top 20 richest and ended up selling my money for $300+ and that was a discounted rate. I played Asylum much longer and whether it was cop or civ, the money sink to earned ratio is much higher and so I never got close to being the wealthiest here.

    @Samperino @Clockwerk @DarkKnight

    Yall wish to comment on these apd tactics? Waste of our governmental resources.  :frog:

     

    Think there need to be a training sesh with all those dumbfound tactics used.  

     

    The first part had DS which is expected of them to miss the drop. The rest was them wasting their time. I'd have just left him there till he got bored and grabbed him when he came down.

    Hey all,

    Some of you may know me from past experiences or know me from visiting other servers, etc. I have been around the Arma 3 Community for quite a bit and have had a few of my own servers and helped on various projects with other communities. I don't want to get much in to my A3 development work. However, I will tell you a bit about my personal life... I am 25 as of today. I just recently picked up a puppy (German Shepherd) named Luna who is basically a small child who poops outside. I went to school for a Bachelors in IT - Networking, coding was not my first pick at all. I worked at an ISP for 3 months as an intern and hated the job. Since that job, I've just worked various warehouse positions to pay off school debt while I figure out what I want to do. I have a strong desire to try and become a LEO, but not sure how to go about doing everything I need to get my foot in the door. Oh an my grammar is awful... I sprinkle a comma everywhere and anywhere.

    Last night was when I got instated in to my position and we (Clint, Bada, and I) immediately started work on figuring out some performance issues. I have found a few things that I feel are causing issues, so we made some changes to Server 3 last night and adjusted some settings. We feel that these very well could be issues and will be implementing a change to probably Server 2 to "Stress Test" to help me see some issues that may arise and figure stuff out. However, it's all still a theory and we need to be sure that we don't mess up current systems like Splunk, etc. However, I feel very confident one of them may be the issue. I am a big fan of being social with the community and interacting with staff. So you will see a lot of transparency with development related tasks and such.

    If you have any questions or comments feel free to ask or shoot me a pm. :)

    Thanks,
    Jesse

    So is Splunk still being paid for out of pocket like bamf was doing? If so, what are the odds of you importing the stats system Olympus uses over here since that is free?

  24. Asylum Announcement

    Realistically though that timeline to deliver content & optimizations will be quite hard to meet. As the Asylum mission is very different. I haven't seen server side files of Asylum for a few years. Lots of changes.

    Good luck, I think you'll need it. Even Poseidon wasn't able to fix it.
