Mitch (IFRIT) Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Hello! I want to start by saying thank you. Thank you to those who were able to assist us in reaching our first goal since the ownership change. This first month has taught me a ton. It's because of you guys that this is all possible. I appreciate the countless messages I have received over the last 30 days. The messages with support, suggestions and issues have all helped to shape my first month as Owner. With the formalities out of the way, let's take a dive into what I hope we can accomplish during January. The January rewards have been posted. SWAT, vehicle customization, and additional achievement titles! Due to the holiday season, I have not been able to speak with development as much as I have been able to in the past. I'm sure we were busy, just like many of you. With that, I do not have all the details at my fingertips to disclose about the vehicle customization. But the idea is that you will be able to change the skins on the vehicle, increase the speed some, and potentially increase the storage capacity. Once I have another "sit down" with them to hammer out those details, I will be sure to let you all know. The SWAT system will be sort of like it was before. But I believe there was always room for improvement within that feature. I am hopeful that we can bring those improvements into today's system. I have a long list of detailed suggestions saved and will reference that when speaking with development when hammering out the fine details. If you too have ideas and suggestions, please make them public! Your time to help shape this is now! Additional titles for achievements obtained in-game. There are so many things that we all do on a daily basis, and some that we don't do much of. Looking at what we track, we have a ton of fresh potential for ranks to be displayed. If you want to brag that you have collected a shit ton of various items, sold, or otherwise have done. I believe you should be able to brag about it. What Kavala troll doesn't want to brag for selling a ton of weed? Continuing I have created a new idea to help us as a community cover our monthly needs, while making these rewards available to more people with various household budgets. This will be known as the subscriber system. The rewards are awesome, at a very friendly price. However, I will admit that sub systems are an extremely popular system with just about every company. And that can sometimes be frustrating. So i want to put all the cards on the table to ensure that you are able to understand why it's being done. Currently, our ways to cover our cost fluctuate on a month to month basis. We have donor levels and loot crates. While these are great systems, they are anything but reliable. People buy crates to get an item if they choose, but once they get that item. They no longer need to purchase that key.. I have no way to gauge what the income will be for the month, and to me, that is a terrible way to run any business. The price of this subscription has been set to ensure we cover what we need to, and to give you minimal impact to your wallet. If you have feedback, or suggestions please let me know. This system is not currently implemented, as there is dev work that is needed. If I am able to have part of this system done, such as everything but the custom titles and the license plates. I will offer the subscription at a reduced price until it is fully completed. When I get a better ETA on this, I will let you guys know. And for the final note, Since I now have access to the donation information of everyone in the community. I realized there are people who have donated over the current top rank (Donor 7). But yet they are not rewarded for their contribution past donor 7. I have decided to add some additional ranks that will cover all the amounts that current active people have obtained. I am not ready to post the details of those additional ranks yet. I still need to fine tune them before going public. I just wanted you to all be aware of what is going on in the world of ownership. Information is power. Until next time, Mitch Edit: I forgot to add.... Our January development is working towards a refined war system and the return of infamy. It's my hope that you guys will gain a ton of value from these features. Edit 2: The stats that i speak of above are all not being tracked currently. So anything you have done over the last 4 years will not count due to it not being tracked in this way. Once this goes live, we will start tracking such items.

Nice to see more positive changes and progression within the community. Also what is the monthly goal amount? I appreciate the kind words. It's all been by trial and error. Just trying to not hit my head on the way! The amount is kept personal. There are too many savages out there that would like to know the total for ill reasons. But it's a reasonable amount that will help cover the cost we have to put this on. I hope you can understand that I don't want to disclose that. I work to be as transparent as I can. But there are a couple things I keep private. 9 minutes ago, BaDaBiNg_10-8 said: You’re still a gay cowboy! 🤣 Masonn, Mayhem, Farmer Steve and 3 others like this Link to comment

What i love from you is that you're a man of the people and you're sharing your ideas with the community even before they're set in stone.

I think that in general people "donate" towards games to benefit from it mainly. Knowing that its going towards the support of the development, maintenance etc is just extra incentive, giving benefits in-game is hard due Bohemia's rules. I think rewards like the community rewards are fantastic but ideas for more rewards i was thinking about Discord, TS, Forum things or some actual sick looking cosmetics (I wonder if we're able to change cosmetics of weapons).

goyney Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 SWAT should not be a sign in and wait for everyone else thing like it was prior. It should just be a gear up option usable once per event per person (bank/prison etc.). There were too many issues with the black waiting screen previously. If it is necessary for SWAT to all go together, then make it a policy for SWAT members to group up at HQ before pushing. That way, if anyone experiences any issues with game crashes or w/e, it won't fuck SWAT up for everyone else (as it would have previously on the black wait screen).

Mainly the ability to increase storage on vehicles. Especially after we did adjust storage down on some for balance. Just because other servers have something doesn’t mean we should not do it.

It would still get treated as possession of police equipment. But you wouldn't get the charges stacked of illegal firearm and possession of police equipment. It would just be one charge, never two.

Because the cops would have zero idea where it actually came from. Since black is apd, i am going to leave it at that. It's just a perk that you can get that color from rebel. Link to comment

I mean every cop gun is a illegal gun either way other then the p07 depending on if they have a bounty hunters licence.

We need gangs active on our server first. However, I'm very interested to see wars and a war point system be put back in. Maybe a Gang War Rank will also be added based on a variety of points (gang war kills/successful cartel/turf captures that have actual combat/maybe even Feds/banks etc) and have those points build over say 3 months where they are used to seed your gang in the actual Gang Wars Event, ideally happening at the end of each "War Season," if that makes sense.

Cartels are boring and when someone fights its bad blood with 15 .50's shooting at you're ifrit thats not fun. you're increasing the apd cap so that our gang of 10 now fights against 20 cops at feds and banks. war points is a joke nothing that you can do with them just display your 1000 war points and say you killed people. Its almost been a year since last gang wars and even though everyone is asking for one I dont think that would be a step in the right direction (look at last year) killed gang life, not that it was the admins fault but some 3rd parties that ruined it. nobody wants to fight 10 retards with .50's sui vests and rpgs. you're killing gang life whether you see it out not.
