    Legit question, everytime I've ever gotten something out of a loot crate besides cars, others aren't able to see the skin and after a while it just disappears  and is replaced with a basic skin, is this going to be the same for the backpacks?

    It's due to having multiple textures using 1 item classname. Backpacks when dropped and such should maintain the texture due to them being a vehicle. However clothing this will happen to almost always assuming it's used both as a regular item and a skinned item. If we used them solely as skinned items this wouldn't be an issue but for example both of the new free uniform skins use the same classname. So we don't just assume what one you had. It gets set back default.

    @Clint Beastwood If you bought the new clothing and then talk to a clothing shop, leave without doing anything your clothing transforms into this.

    See above. It's due to that uniform essentially having 3 different textures. We'll probably make a menu you can access to reset your skins if you so desire.

  2. Tonights Update - Brings you a new loot crate. The destruction crate. I'll let someone else post pictures of the content inside. Probably @Clint Beastwood. As I need to get to bed. have to work in 6 hours... It brings RA/SGT slots that they have been briefed on how to use on discord. See @Samperino for proper usage of said slots. Also, some updated admin features that they can use. Probably some other fixes that @Azeh can mention if he wants.

    Server 2 - Is going to be online. It's intended purpose is solely for you to be able to shuffle your gear to server 1 basically. We will have the server online for a little while. However, it will go down eventually again to a locked state. You cannot gather, buy houses, etc on the server to prevent people from actually playing on it. Houses will sell full price. Please note that if you own a s2 house you will continue to keep it until otherwise noted. So no need to sell your home. If you do want to sell your house it will sell for full buy price.

    Teamspeak was moved from S3 to S1. If you connect to our TS using an IP, switch to using 149.56.29.23:9216 instead now. Otherwise continue using: ts3.gaming-asylum.com:9216

    That is all. Thank you.

    Oh and 440 houses just went on the market that were owned by inactive people who haven't logged in.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Edited by Azeh:
    This update was somewhat out of the blue due to the S2 changes, so there will probably be another update in the near future containing some more major changes. However:
    - Server restarts are now every 4 hours instead of 3.
    - Some issues with seizing items from vehicles were fixed.
    - Drilling for oil should now reset the vehicle despawn timer properly.
    - A new civ talent was added that lets you the see the location of dead group/gang members on the map.
    - An exploit related to CSATs and carrier lites dropping was fixed.
    - An issue where spawning at your house would occasionally spawn you in the ocean may be fixed.
    - AK Arco was added.
    - Tents and other previously placeable objects can now be placed again.

    Then if server 1 becomes spam fest to enter.  Reintroduce S2.  

    However, for the time being, I’d prefer to liquidate my assets on S2.

    This is our plan. S2 will be available just in a different fashion soon hopefully....

    You Mod Queued me, deleted my posts, and let your server run to shit without fixing the underlying problem. Your server (Yes, one now) is dead. Good monetary investment eh?

    You ever think that stuff isn't about the money sometimes?

    I mean but then you get rid of server 2 losing a ton of players to gain like 20 extra POP on server 1, and then limit the amount of cops online.  It is like you want asylum to fail at this point with the bonehead decisions of late.  Idgi.

    I mean but then you get rid of server 2 losing a ton of players to gain like 20 extra POP on server 1

    There was not a "ton of players on S2":
    server_players.php?GSID=5989723&start=-1

    As you can see the PEAK was only ever maybe 30... So I guess if you use your brain you'd see that moving those 20 people you say we gained on S1 was a good move...
    Since on gametracker we were ranked 31st, now S1 is ranked 15th. That increases the likely hood of new players coming to replace those old players who we aren't getting back.

    No one wants to play on a server where the cop ratio is jacked. There is 1,100 whitelisted cops that can potentially join at anytime before, we needed to adjust for that. We scaled back servers from what was once 4 servers. The cop force was never scaled back to reflect. You got a bunch of high ranks that can potentially roll with friends and destroy the low population when it's there. That's not what we want. We need people to be having a good time. The cop cap isn't going to be permanent. It's a trial right now to see if we can work on essentially "coddling" our S1 population to grow it. We want people playing and having good interactions.

    This is now the chart for S1:
    server_players.php?GSID=5989722&start=-1

    As you can see the decision has increased the player counts for the most part. The lows are higher and the highs are higher. That's good...

    I stand by our decision and think it was a good move. I think the data here provides to us that it was also a good move... If not, I guess I'm a bonehead.

    Play civ and stop complaining about a cop cap.  No new players are going to stay around if they get arrested every 3 seconds because the ratio is so shit. 

    ^^ This is quite accurate. I'm glad you understand why we did what we did.

    2 hours ago, Chow Mein said:

    A ton of players? I never saw more than 30 people on server 2. If you really think that the cop to civ ratio was ok then you clearly dont pay attention. 

    Glad you're not blind as well. Thank you for your understanding.

    I play civ on server 2.  I dont have all my stuff on server 1 so no point in playing civ with the current set up.  So its only cop, and there is the cap now.  I also was playing on server 2 with 80+ people reguarly right up until they closed it down.  and shit was fine.  Seems like our fearless leaders here are burning the server to the ground as a social experiment or something?

    Really? Please look at the charts and tell me when there was 80+ people on S2.... (see below for a 3M outline of Max, average, min players on the server for each date, hover over it)

    I’m just gonna say this, Paratus was making fat stacks of cash in 2014 and not even then was he poppin out updates every fuckin week.

     

    If you think Asylum is pulling in "fat stacks of cash" right now you're very wrong. If you're saying that he was making fat stacks and everyone expected less from him compared to how we're expected of a lot more now at not pulling in "fat stacks of cash", that I can agree with.

    We’ve heard that excuse so many times. Updates are still as rare as before v2. A lot of shit is still broken. No one gives a fuck anymore it seems like.

    I mean we have lives? It's as simple as that. We fixed server crashing. The content left out was majority of what was told was going to be left out. I only have 2 days off this week. I'll maybe spend 1 night on asylum stuff this week. There's more than just in-game stuff. There's stuff that the admins need. Stuff that the forums needs done. There's support tickets that only Clint and I can do. There's a lot of stuff that needs work too.

    We never claimed that once V2 released we'd be slamming out weekly updates or anything...

    6 hours ago, Reformed epTic said:

    Jesse was in a no-win situation, people were mad because of the servers crashing, so they had to rush out a bare bones V2 before it was ready and now people are mad because of the lack of content.

    Pretty much sums it up...

    We're also doing what we can, when we can. However, my real life stuff comes first. Always now. I use to put it off. Not anymore. Had things back when happened a few months sooner, things would be a lot better now for Asylum...

  8. This will be going in to effect very shortly on the live servers. Just handling some last minute stuff.

    Also, the updated "Donation Goal" method will be going up soonish (next few days). It'll basically be very similar to what community goals offered just minus tiers. So instead of making you guys reach various goals, it will just be one. Then we'll maybe add some other stuff to it, etc. This WILL NOT be the same as Olympus where you donate for features, rather you're donating for a community goal basically. Sometimes we may throw features in, however it'll be unlikely due to how thin we're spread with development resources.

    LMAO are you guys retarded? why would I buy the 25 pack for 3 extra keys, when I could buy 5, 5 packs and get 5 extra keys??????????????

    This was the extent of the thinking...
    a5d5916e0c94574a80e0a5bafc014dd8.png

    As you can see, zero math was done. Zero thought was put in beyond what I typed. Immediately after sending that link, I went to bed basically. Had to be up in... ~6 hours after that post.

    It's since been modified to now give you a total of 32 keys. No one purchased the 25 pack so far, otherwise, I'd compensate them the new adjusted value.

    My bad...

    currently if you're restricted from posting on the forums and you want to make a support request then you're shit out of luck cuz the shit aint gonna work.

    easy solution: make it so you can make support requests even if you're restricted from posting.

    It's not like we get to just toggle an option for this... It's coded by invision to be this way. We can't just turn it off. So before you suggest "easy solutions" you should maybe educate yourself. I got a good solution "don't get it in the first place, quit being a piece of shit on the forums."

    Wow! a whole 15%!!!!!!

    I mean... Until Clint and I Discounts were never a thing. Plus, If we make them too cheap. Then we're not really going to meet server costs and what not... 15% off is pretty good all things considered with PayPal fees too and what not. Not like people are buying 200 keys...

    @Jesse Any eta on when infamy and BH etc will be added back?

    Clint made a post regarding. It's hidden until we're ready to unhide it as it contains other stuff too. However, not sure on BH. But infamy and some of the community goal stuff is just going to be worked in to the default mission. Instead of making people grind forever on earning infamy and such. Plus it'll level the playing field and be easier code wise to do stuff. We'll probably just be moving infamy stuff in to talents for some of it. And refining it. Regardless, this threads not really intended for this discussion.

  12. Hey guys!

    In response to our downtime of the forums and a bit of the servers earlier in the week. As well as back to school starting and such, we figured we'd do a sale on key purchases and also include a few free ones with select purchases. Later this week we'll be announcing some more changes to how community goals and such will be working going forward! It's much more "for the player" now! As well as some changes to the mission that I think most of you will enjoy!

    Coupon Code: 15OFF

    Discount Duration: Now until September 17th @ 00:01.

    Free Keys! (see below)

    Any purchase of multiple key packs will give additional free keys as follows:

    • 1 Key -> 0 Free Keys (Total of 1 Key)
    • 5 Keys -> 1 Free Key (Total of 6 Keys)
    • 10 Keys -> 2 Free Keys (Total of 12 Keys)
    • 25 Keys -> 7 Free Keys (Total of 32 Keys)

    Make sure you buy the key packs and not just 5 or 10 single keys as it will not give you the bonus keys!
    If you want 5 keys, buy the 5 pack.. etc!

    The store page will list them as the 5, 10, 25 keys, however once your purchase is complete, the script that adds the keys is set to give you the extra keys automatically.

    SPECIAL NOTE: In the event you forget to enter the coupon code, you are out of luck. Make sure you enter the code to receive the discount. All key purchases are final, we will not credit you if you fail to enter the code on checkout for the discount! Keys will add automatically regardless if you use the code or not!

    Key Credit: The key credit you get in-game for item duplicates DOES NOT automatically transfer to your forums account. If you wish to claim your account credit please make a donation support ticket and we'll add the account credit to your forums account ASAP.

    Thanks for your support,
    Clint & Jesse

  13. Hey everyone,

    I first off want to apologize for the long duration of forum downtime. I have had a busy week unfortunately, and had to work this in to my schedule. While the forums have been down, they've been updated to the latest Invision Community version, which caused a plugin to have issues with ALL forum posts. The cause of forum posts being broken took me like 2 hours to figure out, eventually I narrowed it down to a certain plugin. Then I had to update all ~23,000 users via a script I made to repair some stuff.

    The unfortunate thing out of all this was just that any hosted images on the site will have broken links now. That is why your signatures and avatars have been reset. If you wish to have your signature back AND it was more than just a few words or something and was something lengthy or hard to re-create.. (assuming it didn't have an image in and it was just text or something, shoot me a PM, I can get it for you). This however did free up like 40gb of space on the webserver.

    Lastly, SSL is now active across all domains except our subdomains for those of you with admin/cop tools. This is due to our SSL license only being paid for the TLD (top-level domain), we do not have subdomain coverage for SSL.

    Broken Images for rank icons will be replaced/added back soon. Need to get them. Also, the forums is currently "rebuilding" images in the background making them compatible with SSL if possible. So some images may show up after a while and it may just be that they're not showing due to not being processed by the server yet, as the forum system is also re-indexing everything. So the webserver is under a relatively heavy load currently.

    Once again, I apologize for the downtime and the loss of any signatures/avatars. If you notice anything broken on the forums, shoot me a pm.

    Thank you,
    Jesse

  15. Afternoon all,

    We discovered this morning that there was an oops made by myself when coding the gang experience. So gangs were essentially earning exp but not having it sync to the db. We're dropping a hotfix to fix this as well as a few other things as well. We were however able to get everyones gang exp extracted from the logs and wrote in to some new db queries. So when the servers restart I'll be running the queries and updating your gang exp.

    TL;DR or didn't understand the above: If you were capping cartels on V2 and doing things that get you gang exp... check your gang exp/talents upon server restart..You probably have some talents...
