Hello all,
We understand there has been some major concerns with the current state of the server in terms of low population, QOL improvements, and so on. Despite our best efforts with tons of new content, we have decided to make some major overhaul changes within Asylum geared towards a better player experience overall, and we would like to present a brief announcement outlining just a few things of what is to come (These are not the actual Patch-Notes)
Please keep in mind we are aware that the changes we are making will not please everyone, but we feel it is necessary for the state of the server to continue and thrive.
Here is the following upcoming changes that you can expect: Server-Wipe:
Given the state of the server and majority of others feedback our developers have been working on creating a new environment for Asylum (Some make call it Asylum v3, Asylum Reborn, call it what you want). We have taken a step back and are going back to our roots. Player progression will be wiped, your donor level and faction rank will remain untouched.
What-to-expect:
We will be introducing new patches and changes more frequently at the start of the wipe introducing old/new content items.
Starting out there will be four Fed events - Fed, Bank, Casino, & Prison.
This is to prevent players hyper inflating the economy in the first month as seen in the previous test wipe.
Talent System - Removed entirely (No more grinding for unnecessary talents).
Some talents were redistributed to faction ranks, others were dispersed behind infamy, prestige, and honor.
Housing Changes:
3 houses total (Including 1 shed)
Increased max storage options for both virtual and physical items.
Legal and Illegal money methods have been reworked to where both can be affordable living - with the exception that illegal methods will still pay more.
Removed Drones for time being.
Starter money increased.
Gang bank payouts every 5 minutes based on the amount of cartels you own.
Removed purification.
Simplified crafting.
Many, many, more things that are just too much to list for an pre-announcement.
Server-rule-changes:
Admins - will not be getting any money or perks for the time being, including spawning in vehicles. (They will be a new player just like you)
This is to ensure fairness across the community. However, admin duties outside of normal game play will remain and can still run events to make it fun for the community.
We are wiping your current count of bans for this year.
Ban times will be reduced drastically overall. The goal is to have players in game.
Player conflict dispute - If a player does not intentionally break a rule they may try to resolve with compensation. The player does not have to accept compensation, however, the admin team will take it into consideration if we feel your situation is genuine. Note - this is not an in game feature… yet.
APD Changes: (Temporary Changes)(Subject to Change)
No house raiding will be performed at this time
No drones
All cop ranks will follow helicopter guidelines. (No searching illegal areas without ground units)
Cops may respond via helicopter if ground units in area.
20 30 minute timer cooldown for drug fields.
2 1 Life rule for all illegal drug areas regardless of how many cops are online (Ex: 5 cops or less is no longer valid)
**I want to re-iterate these are just a brief example of changes to come and more will be released in the upcoming patch notes laying out exactly what was changed and what will be changing in the upcoming updates.**
The developers are working hard to make this work and we hope you guys are excited for the upcoming changes. Thank you for continuing to be apart of our community, we love all of you. ❤️
