  1. It was asked specifically to the APD that removal of the license be in more extreme circumstances... Simply having a gun you shouldn't while on bounty hunter shouldn't constitute the removal of the license. So what are you exactly complaining about? This change was to combat serious abuse of the license. In which case revoking it is fine for POTENTIALLY up to 3 hours. That's if it was right near the start and the person was abusing it.
  2. Yet we have this guy suggesting I spend just a bunch of time talking to people and not working on anything with those man hours: Have you ever thought this was an oversight? I would disagree with this if it's the case. However, I didn't make uranium or even care to look at the range of it's effects. So this is something I am unaware of. At the same time you haven't made a single bug report on this matter to make us aware of this potential issue. Instead you feel the best way is to belittle us and bitch like a child.
  3. If you "enjoy playing the server for the bounty hunter aspect" chances are you won't be getting caught doing some bad with the weapon then? If you do, then that's the consequence. Don't know what you want to hear lol.
  4. So I'll spend the next month talking to the entire community about changes. Everyone has their own visions/ideas of what is right/wrong. People have different play-styles. Just because they don't align with yours doesn't make it wrong.
  5. I said a month or so ago, that I was going to be the one to rework this and make changes now. I had a discussion like I said above with Staff, Mitch, Developers, and also the new community aides I'm working with on how we can go about balancing it. This update is Part 1 of a 2 part update I had planned to be more focused about changes for civilian life balances and adjustments. I am just having a hard time finding a good balance that isn't basically what I made on Olympus. I'd like for it to be different.
  6. There are changes planned. We've even discussed several different options for what we could do. Several people can even attest to this statement. I sat in a channel and discussed this with a few cops and civs. I've talked with mitch, our developers, and admins as well. Just because it hasn't happened in this update, doesn't mean we're not planning to change it? Certain federal event situations is very vague. I understand that you don't get paid for lethaling them in unreachable places. However, you could also just catch them later? Chances are they're not always going to be in an unreachable place... This change should make it so less people put themselves in unreachable places to just get free pardons. This will also ideally force more "RP" scenarios potentially on people, instead of just using it to avoid situations potentially too. Turning yourself in can be a %50 ticket reduction too. This really isn't something I'm gonna argue about. IMO.. it's just money at the end of the day you miss out on here potentially. That can later be caught or potentially get even more from that said person now. A lot of thinking does go in to a lot of this believe it or not. Just because we're not making the changes you believe are correct or following your vision, doesn't mean it's everyone's vision dude.
  7. Yes. They are just no longer bounty hunter turn in locations. Solely APD? Bounty hunters couldn't pardon your bounty by lethaling before.... Jailing from any location was the fix for those would like to abuse restarts for lethals.
  8. That's up to your higher ups I guess, I don't deal with how the APD handles these issues? However, you should now be able to send someone to jail regardless of location within the last 2.5 minutes or whatever the time is when it tells you to sync your vehicle. This is to be used in accordance to whatever APD policy/procedures/guidelines they decide on though. See the above... What are the downsides? What are the benefits? Chill.. See the above.
  9. Was actually requested by Samperino when he was CoP. So it's been long overdue. Because, regular bounty hunter shops all were removed and now the 3 skiptracers are the only place for both skiptracer gear and normal BH gear.
  10. Good call. I'll just enable the firewall too.
  11. Okay, how do you propose we "fix" it?
  12. People have been selected for these positions. If you were not PM'd, then that is because you were not accepted. If you were not accepted chances are you gave 1 line answers to what should've been thought out answers to the questions. Or you answered things that are out of the scope of in-game related content and things we can do or they are just simply impractical. Thanks to those who applied.
  13. FYI - Only 7 hours left to apply if interested. I will be going through them tomorrow.
  14. Roleplay left arma a long time ago man. If you honest to god want an rp experience you should go to GTA before that gets to the current arma state.
  15. I wouldn’t say people cried about the crank stuff. I just don’t think it should be a primary money making method as it’s easy now that you can do it even further from cities. You could just do backpack loads back and forth to safety. Now you’ll have to work more to make more. Makes sense. With the change out now though I’ll be making it be able to done anywhere (so back in dps) probably keep x amount from the sell points though. Idk.
  16. It's a hotfix. Chill bro.
  17. Is what it is. I'm trying to fit it around my schedule. Not those who may not even show up.
  18. No like you're in the pocket of an admin or staff member. Like for example, Azeh may not have the ability to spawn his own money, but he may get 100k routinely from an admin or something. Causing him to not have to grind or get his own money.
  19. You seem to have good ideas. Feel free to apply here as well: https://discordapp.com/channels/132299082772250624/624078213999493120/715243873273905193
  20. Hey everyone, So one thing I took away from Olympus and believe strongly in is that your player base and their ideas are what help the server grow and become worth playing. It's hard for us as staff and developers who may have access to "admin money" or may not necessarily play the game always by the same means as a normal player. I know a lot of staff may just hop on for certain events being done or just to kind of hangout. One thing that I helped create on Olympus was a "Civilian Representative", which has now had multiple different adjustments and such to it. I've wanted to do something similar here for a long time, however, it was shot down a lot. I've talked to Mitch regarding it a couple times now and I'm going to give it a shot. This will be different however. In the past I've done "election terms", to just static people, etc. We are going to just take applications via the link below then as staff vote on who we would feel has the best applications and could be the most productive to our cause. I will take 3-5 people from the applications and extend them offers to have group conversations with myself either bi-weekly or monthly to come up with development ideas/adjustments/removals/changes, etc that should happen with the server. Not everything that is suggested will occur or anything like that, however, hopefully it'll get us some new content to spice up game-play. These will be "permanent" positions as long as the player stays active with time played on the server and doesn't miss 2 meetings in a row. Once the person misses 2 meetings in a row they will be removed and replaced. As far as the AFD/APD go, you will be reached out to via Discord chats. Meeting times will ALWAYS for the foreseeable future be Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday between ~7-10pm Central. If for some reason you cannot make it always message me. I'll send out PMs in advance as a reminder as well. However, it's up to you keep communication open. Payment: As long as you show up and make constructive feedback/suggestions to the discussion we will reward you for attendance. At this time the amount or what exactly that looks like is up for discussion but will be known prior to the first discussion and is open to modification at any time. Apply here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdLb7p7g4tDkOwkRYBdzDdG5ytBeJDO2HTGoN4qRhgqRkT7-A/viewform?usp=sf_link As always, please respond with any questions you may have or feel free to PM me. DEADLINE TO APPLY: June 1st, 2020 @ 23:59 Central! TL;DR - Important shit is highlighted. - Jesse
  21. Doing some market research... If Asylum had 1 of each server (KoTH, Conquest/Strife, Life Server) what would you rather be playing? Now, keep in mind, there would be no AFK paychecks on Strife lol.. You'd actually have to play it... Also, these would be Asylum specific and have possibly shared rewards across servers etc. Feel free to vote. Curious for answers to the following as well: What do you dislike about KoTH servers? What do you like most about KoTH servers? What did you like most about strife (not afk paychecks)? What did you dislike most about strife (not the removal of afk paychecks)?
  22. Yeah? You think we should just design what WE want? Not what the playerbase wants? We don't play the game. When the few of us do we're not playing it seriously and/or we've got staff money, etc. that is an unreal experience. That's how asylum got a karaoke thing in Kavala, that's how Paratus also made several other pointless and useless things no one asked for... I will gladly just make a chess game in a game that you're playing. We're not saying the community has to come up with every detail, we're just asking for suggestions that are worthwhile...
  23. Mitch is asking for content ideas and stuff to add in-game. Your post had zero content suggestions like half of the other posts in here. Everyone comments how we're lacking content or how we need more stuff.. No one offers ideas on what stuff needs changing or to be added. Almost everyone just offers mindless commentary that doesn't help...
  24. I mean, what's funny though is too, assuming your referencing SWAT is that even though higher ups in the APD knew what was coming and the general how it was gonna be (as they crafted the documentation with Mitch for it)... that they weren't even ready once it got released... Everyone wants to chew our asses for not releasing it sooner, etc.. yet your APD team dropped the ball decently too. And don't worry, we won't anymore... However, this isn't relevant at all to what mitch is asking for and not constructive to this post at all.
  25. You may just need a Visual Basic redistributable package installed.
