  4. A post about our Administrator Junke.

    in Gang Talk

    Posted · Edited by operatorjohnny^
    Junke needs to be removed

    Junke has been one of the worst additions to the Asylum community over the past four years. I have been a dedicated member of the Asylum community for ten years at this point, and I have never seen one member ruin the culture of the community so much. He has proven through his actions and his attitude that he does not care for a single one of us, and in my opinion is the number one reason for the server's population decline. 

    Just think about it from the eyes of a new player who just joined the server for the first time. If the first person you talked to was @Junke, and you figured out that he is a staff member who runs the server, you would absolutely never join the server again, and I don't blame them!

    He is one of the most inactive and abusive admins that the server has ever seen, even @skimancolewas much better than @Junke. It is truly sad to see the regression that the server has taken.

    If we truly want to save Asylum, we need to deal with the root cause, @Junke

  10. Asylum S1 domination feedback thread

    Full price kits needs to be changed.

    The current caps are not optimized for having no smoke. If you are going to continue to no have smokes to save FPS, caps will need re-designed to reduce the amount of roaching. If smokes are re-introduced, dom will need to be moved to S2 to save fps.

    I know the idea of S1 dom is to save server pop, however the issue of fps is going to continually come up. Maybe more in-depth cartel events can be held on S1, but I highly recommend dom on S2 for more map choices.

  19. Asylum Pre-Patch Announcement 6/12/2024

    Posted · Edited by operatorjohnny^

    I'll probably sound like a broken record but truthfully I couldn't give a fuck less.

    We have tried everything. First, people said there wasn't enough content, so content was added. An abundance of it. Once we had a ton of new content, people complained of QOL issues. The fact is that no one knows the right answer. We all know that the economy is broken, and player count is way down. You can blame the broken economy on whatever you'd like. Domination, strife, tanoa, or people who have hundreds of millions that don't spend it. It doesn't matter, complaining about something doesn't fix the issue.

    We need to be thankful that we have a group of people who are trying everything they can to fix the server. If you lose your shed you spent 25 million virtual dollars on, boohoo no one gives a fuck, buy it again. This wipe is a last ditch effort to save the server. If you're going to be butthurt about losing all your stuff, then you don't have to play (and the people up in arms have 50+ mil that they never spend and typically don't play the server anymore). 

    No one knows what the outcome of this wipe will be. It could save the server, or it could ruin it. Obviously nothing that we have tried to date has worked so this is what it has come to. 

    In my opinion it will be a breath of fresh air and hopefully will allow people to find the love for this game and server again.

    Suggestions by me & aslan

    Monetary Cap:

    • Establish a cap at a specified amount, with server price adjustments based on this amount.

    Gang Bank Cap:

    • Set a cap at a specified amount, which will increase proportionally with the number of members, up to a maximum of X amount.

    Group Cap:

    • Limited to 8-10 members. (start with 8 and adjust if population starts increasing)

    House Cap:

    • Players are permitted a maximum of 2 houses each, including garages.

    Economic Balance:

    • There are currently excessive opportunities to generate income through various runs.

    Drug Policy:

    • Retain: Marijuana, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, spirit, uranium and the purification factory. Allow processing of every drug once more at the purification facility, rotating the factory across all drugs.
    • Remove: Fungi, LSD, PCP, and tobacco.
    • Territory Management: Turf areas may require significant improvement (maybe bring back the cheaper loadouts from owning 2 of these)

    Boat Rebel Location:

    • The location should be stationary outside the prison; other locations should be removed or at least the Sofia location should be reconsidered.

    Federal Events:

    • Remove the excess events such as mental, APD National, and Nicolais. Implement a 30-minute cooldown period for the remaining events, but only 10-minute cooldown for gas marts.

    Cartels:

    • Retain key locations such as OG, East Arms (with necessary adjustments), Church, Drug Tower, and Drug House. Remove other locations and relocate oil cartel to a more accessible area for crafters. Maintain three cartels with five rotating locations, excluding the oil cartel.

    Prestige and Weapons:

    • Eliminate the prestige system and all overpowered weapons and attachments. Restrict Zafir, MAR-10, and silencers to Blackwater only with very limited availability and a small chance of spawning in an airdrop.

    Rebel Outpost:

    • Maybe consider adding restocking guns, more clothing options, and potentially setting a donation goal for armor stacking. Introduce an invisible backpack.

    Stash Houses:

    • Remove the new stash houses and retain the old ones that can be robbed.

    Drug Dealers:

    • Keep drug dealers in towns to maintain the associated risk.

    Law Enforcement:

     

    • Update rules regarding Ifrit usage.
    • Address the issue of having an excessive number of higher-ranking officers.
    • Consider implementing a parole system.
    • Introduce a limit on the ratio of civilians to police officers.
    • Review policies on lethal payouts.
    • Establish new rules for the deployment of police drones.
    • Remove the armed boat or replace it with a version without a covered gunner position, if such a version exists.
    • Prohibit police officers from deploying spike strips from moving vehicles.

     

    Explanation:

     

    I feel like money is the primary issue on this server. The introduction of domination has significantly inflated the economy, making most players extremely wealthy. While there have always been individuals with substantial wealth, it's never been at this level before. This situation leads to careless gameplay and leaves players with little to do other than spoil the fun for others, especially newcomers.

    Even when the server had 100 players online, it's a struggle to find people anywhere outside of Athira. I believe to inject more vitality into the server, players need to engage in activities such as runs, player robbery, federal event heists, or cartel conflicts. The majority of players should be out and about, creating scenarios, rather than idling in towns and engaging in trolling.

    Implementing a money cap would compel players to diversify their activities since they wouldn't be financially secure for life anymore. They would need to earn money to sustain their preferred activities, whether it's trolling in towns, engaging in combat, or participating in criminal activities like robbing, turf wars, or cartel operations.

    Encouraging players to run drugs could also revitalize cartel activities, making the struggle for control more worthwhile. Regardless of personal opinions on cartels, it's always been a significant and popular aspect of the server. Introducing new gangs through this mechanism could significantly boost server population and potentially attract even more players.

    Furthermore, law enforcement appears to be disproportionately powerful due to their weaponry and high-ranking officers. This issue stems from the low player base and the need to counter large civilian groups. Addressing these aspects is essential for the proposed changes to work optimally.

    I disagree with the notion that players don't want to grind for money in an older game. Instead, I believe they're disinclined to grind when others are financially set. It becomes incredibly challenging for new players to establish themselves when existing players are already financially independent.

    Ultimately, what's the point of playing on a server where you already have everything? The true enjoyment lies in the journey toward success, not just the destination.

    Poker is a must for a casino. would be good for the community to gather to simply battle it out in some low stakes poker. was thinking maybe small blind being $25 big blind being $50 going into it with $1000. really would like to see this would be lots of fun.

    wayyyy too low stakes. small blind 2.5k and big blind 5k. max bet needs to be at least 10k per hand
