If S2 Dom came back you could at least retain a decent sized player base and keep Asylum relevant in the meantime. A lot of Olympus guys would come over to play as long as it doesn’t conflict with their event.

Are y’all not the same person lol

Crazy how they shot this down and the alternative was to literally change nothing. Great work on this @luke110 and @zdeat. Hoping we get the chance to play this map.

Thank you Mitch. Meanwhile none of the current “owners” have looked at the forums in over a week.

SAVE US JESSE

What year was this? Was it 2018?

this. at least take a shot at a Reforger server. The hype would bring a lot of people back and you would get new players, especially since the game is on console. Elan life is mid because of the shitty RP rules and the lack of federal events/cartels. Asylum rules on Reforger would be a hit.

If S1 needs dom players to populate it then there are much bigger problems. Also, a map change is not a complete overhaul if the game plays the exact same way. Changing the map will have a month of hype then die again. The server needs to evolve more than that.

Well currently there is no pop at all. Opening dom up right away will have a surge of players and many of those will trickle over to S1 as a result. If Asylum can actually retain a decent playerbase then maybe it can think about having playtime requirements. The administration are so desperate to get people back on the server and then you all come up with ideas like this to piss the players off even more who just want to play a Dom match on their day off, and potentially hop on S1 with their buddies afterwards. Asylum does not have any room to leverage its players on this because the server is flat out DEAD right now. When the server is functioning properly and actually has players you might have some room to negotiate, but right now you have none. If you expect people will hop on S1 in its current state for 15 hours a month to play Dom, you are delusional. S1 will need a complete overhaul for this to work, otherwise you are relying solely on Dom players to populate server 1 which is not sustainable at all. It might be time to move on to a new game mode for S1 if this is the approach.

If you bring back dom with a 10-15 hour requirement right out of the gate, dom will be dead on arrival. My suggestion: Release S2 Dom with no playtime requirements and see how it does for a month. If there is a lot of people playing it every day, then you can test run a 5 hour requirement on S1. Having a requirement like that out of the gate is shooting yourself in the foot. I don’t imagine many people will be excited that they have to play on S1 like it’s a chore. You will end up with a server sitting at 50 pop but the server is actually dead because everyone is AFK. Might as well shut it down at that point.

Personally I never liked the hard-set ratio. APD policy could solve this issue instead of having restrictions hardwired into the server. Also, I don’t see the issue with having a lot of cops on. If a 5 man group of rebels wants to do a bank against 15 cops that is their problem. A lot of small gangs are able to fight large groups of cops. With more cops on means more money in banks/fed. High risk high reward. More cops on means more civs may log on to do events. On the other hand, cops shouldn’t be able to patrol fields altogether if the cop to civ ratio is really high. If cops split up around the map this wouldn’t be an issue. Just need to have some APD policies put into effect. Also, if there happens to be 20 cops on and 5 civs, the cops will start to log off because the server is dead anyway. Keep it laissez-faire and it will balance out.
