Hello Everyone,
5/14/21 Update: We've just released our application form for staff roles. Feel free to check it out on our discord and apply if interested.
While I may have given up Arma 3 development, I've moved on to co-work with @Ignis on creating a FiveM KoTH server. We recently saw the UK hosted KoTH server and wanted to give it a try. There is very few KoTH servers (< 10) or so on FiveM at this time. We initially were going to be making an Asylum RP server on FiveM, but once we started to develop and think on it we realized it'd be like attempting to be a brand new community developing an Arma 3 server. There would be a very low chance of success, especially after seeing how Olympus did their server, etc. So we felt that trying this KoTH server would be a great way if successful would help us grow a FiveM community and branch in to an RP server. Link to our discord can be find below.
The Arma 3 Asylum staff team has been aware of this for a bit now and word may have gotten out a bit. This was the information we released to the staff team:QuoteRecently Ignis (Former Olympus Admin/Developer) and I have been working on making a FiveM KoTH server after seeing that there isn’t many of these and the verrrrry few that are available are CONSTANTLY full. The one that recently released is basically based off A3 mechanics and gameplay style. They even said themselves it’s basically a duplicate of it. We have basically done very similar mechanics but we have also done some things to stay away from the current GTA KoTH style they made. For example, we have decided to not limit users to the number of weapons they can carry (as of now at least). We are also going for a non-military themed KoTH. We are pretty far along in development terms. We are starting to get to a point where we’re looking for some help testing gameplay mechanics, getting feedback, and building the base for our community. Those who help and play on the GTA server will receive automatic rewards and benefits to be used towards Asylum on Arma 3. At this time, we’ve entered a partnership with Mitch allowing us to hopefully both benefit. In the short-term we are aiming to leverage the Asylum A3 community to help us with our initial rollout and build the base of our GTA V community. Through this partnership with Mitch the long-term goal is to get a GTA V player base for KoTH that we can then leverage in to an RP server. Currently even with the demand from A3 players, we don’t feel there would be enough people to essentially get the server off the ground if we started straight off with a RP server. Currently with the over saturation of RP servers on GTA it’d be like attempting to start your own A3 server today. There is just so much development content that would be lacking and such, people would almost immediately realize that the brand-new server doesn’t have the same content that the established 2-3yr servers they were playing on or could play on and leave.
To clear any potential confusion beforehand… this KoTH GTA server was initially a start-up between Ignis and I. We then extended the partnership offer to Mitch. Through this partnership Mitch was kind enough to allow us usage of the Asylum name and logo. This also means that we will be having systems for the most part separate from the Asylum A3 community. Some services may be shared or linked but that will be the extent of it. So if you’re currently an Administrator or Moderator over here and wish to be considered for staff roles or different roles with the GTA server you will be needing to apply for said roles. If/When we roll-out a RP server that will be different story as we’ll be looking to enter beyond a partnership and into split ownership of said RP server. Those details when/if that time would come would then be figured out in regards to positions and staffing as well. More than likely though staff positions across all 2/3 game offerings would be different across the Admin/Moderator/Developer roles. If you have any questions regarding this feel free to ask away or direct private messages to myself or @Mitch (IFRIT) and we’ll try our best to answer them. This is a very fluid situation and constantly changing. If you wish to assist in beta-testing and establishment of the GTA server, feel free to join our discord.In the next few days we'll be releasing recruitment documents/information on our discord for development positions and also a community leadership position. If you're interested in helping please keep tabs on our discord for further details on how you could help.

Hints and a progress bar. These are the type of features Asylum needs. This right here would help keep big gangs around and also be a great new activity. Put it in the next update please!

No I frankly don't really give two fucks if quests get added or not, I wont do them. I'm more upset that every time I get on the server whether 1 month apart or 6 nothing has changed except a few new skin.
Well come develop then or play somewhere else. Don’t get upset that things don’t get done at the pace you want them too. You claim you are so busy.. imagine being an adult and having responsibilities.
Mitch edited my post. I did call you a derogatory term for African Americans @Infamous [FULL SEND]in the event you didn’t see it.

We have heard rumors about this conquest coming out "soon" for a little while now, and when we us as a community are curious and hyped about this new thing we are hit with a "dont tag us" by Jesse. The reason for this response according to the admin I was speaking to was because we are meant to ask the community managers about stuff like this, which is fair enough, but then again Jesse made the post asking if we wanted a conquest hence why people thought you had something to add. So then, @Mason @Leady can we get an update?
It annoys me how @Mitch (IFRIT) has to take the hit for everything that is happening because he is the only one of you actually interacting with the community and making suggestion posts
Think you need to fix your glasses. I never asked if anyone wanted a conquest to be made. I asked for what people would be in demand of and thoughts. If I was making something it’d be an entirely different mission like KoTH or a different game mode than life server. Not just a part of the life server. I also said none of that was going to happen or anything like that. I was merely polling the community.

2 hours ago, Good Lub said:when is the quest system added tho???
When someone else decides to pick it up. I officially left the team as an arma developer like about a month ago. Even then wasn’t doing much since late summer due to job related stuff. Been working like 50-60 hour weeks since. I currently work a 45hr week job during the week 3rd shift and a part time job on the weekend for 12hrs. Every day of the week I am at a job. I also have a girlfriend and 2 dogs to spend time with. So I will not be finishing the quest stuff more than likely. It’d be up to someone else. As all I’m really here to do anymore is offer help with infrastructure and some web stuff.

Could someone explain what all this means?
The only busts I know are police catching criminals, failing at Blackjack, and women's cleavage.
What does "increased sales for all players on the server" mean? Increased sales of what to who?
Some of our loot crates contain "busts" where there use to be content but we removed it (just some random shirts). At this time they're occupied by busts, which if a player hits a bust. The server then has an increase of sales on all goods for 2 minutes per bust. So if I were to hit a bust you can benefit from the bust I did by getting increased sales percentage as well. It could be diamonds, drugs, fish, etc.

We had Halloween Gifts but no Christmas Gifts?
It’s the 7th? I activated the Halloween ones on like the last week October. They were left on longer than I wanted since I forgot about it. But still it’s pretty early in December. They’ll be activated at some point though.

say what you want i know its for everyone but you can choose when to buy it and you can prepare for it by filling houses/cars just my opinion on it
The things we make have to be available to everyone this is available for everyone. We’re following the guidelines set by Bohemia. You can also prepare as well by having your house full. And being somewhat prepared to sell stuff as well. There are already other BI approved servers doing this too.

Pretty sure that's not gonna go down well with bohemia.
Do explain why not? Busts are given to the server? Not just the key purchaser?
1 hour ago, JamieH said:Great update, looking forward to fragging out at conquest, oh wait... this is just horns and a Bohemia TOS violating feature, cool.
Do explain? It’s given to the whole server not just a single player? Everyone is notified of the increased sales and gets the 12% if one person busts.
You both seem like you’re tugging each other off in discord and are like oh boy this is breaking TOS. You guys seem retarded.

Just a quick addition of a few select things... This will be live on the server in about 50 minutes from the time of this post. Any key purchases made prior will have to be opened in-game once the server restarts. Otherwise they just show as "blank items" and you risk breaking your account honestly.

Bust System
- If a player hits a bust in a loot crate, players will get 12% increased sales at majority of markets for 120 seconds for each bust. So if a player busts 4 times in a row there will be 8 minutes active of 12% increased sales for all players on the server. You can also join after the bust and get the 12% as long as it’s still active you don’t have to be present at time of the bust to get the bonus.

Not true. They can see what's actively being worked on. They just should not be sharing the information.

We have no control over this....
BE doesn't allow virtual machines running. Games like PUBG & EFT people would run VMs to capture network traffic and make radar cheats, etc with it. It's great they don't allow it.Doomba and Bag Of Funyuns like this -

dropped the bar to 16, you must really need these graphic designers
Yeah basically.... However there are some talented teens out there. A lot of people also ask if the age is a hard limit, it's not necessarily. Skill is more important.
This 14-year-old girl won a $25K prize for a discovery that could lead to a cure for Covid-19: https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/18/us/anika-chebrolu-covid-treatment-award-scn-trnd/index.html
So if that 14yr old can figure out covid molecular shit, I can possibly find a monkey to make some designs. -

- Must be at least 16 years old at time of applying.
- Must have work examples or proof of knowledge for the position you are applying for.

We've switched over to the new server and the issues seem to be gone. Sorry for the delay and what not. Obviously due to costs and such this was not the ideal move to make, as they are now charging almost $100 setup fees and such. We were really hoping they'd be able to better service our current server. Oh well, we're back to normal. Sorry again..
-
We picked up a new server that appears to not be having packet loss issues. We'll be switching over to the new server at some point tonight.
