These people complaining about being disadvantaged are disadvantaged because they didn't participate. The server was several hours, probably close to ten, into a wipe before I was able to get off work and login the other night. And still, as I stated several times already, there is still prime real estate available on that database this very second. So your implication is moot Link to comment
heater Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 How about a poll for what the community may want? sure it doesn't include all the unique players that joined when the server was thriving but it maybe an idea of what people want. Link to comment

Protocol Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 @Mitch (IFRIT)Honestly picked the worst time to wipe IMO. Can't tell if the players showed up because everyone got unbanned or because the server had a wipe event. Either way the wipe has showed me that it really doesn't matter if you wipe because there is nothing new on the server. @Michael LWas right. its exactly the same thing except I have less money and no talents. Wipe will only work if we get an actual content update with wipe. which there has been 0 content the past few months which I think kills the playerbase the most. look at an OLY update and compare it to asylum updates. you'll see a clear difference. Obi woki has stated that they aren't paid. Meanwhile and OLY devs do get paid. Not saying the devs should quit their jobs and work on the server full time. but I think it goes to show what paid work and what free work gets you. thats my 2 cents dot max 69, Naked Menace, Canna and 4 others like this Link to comment

Protocol Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 You can also notice a clear difference is server quality and FPS. I swear oly feels way more smooth and I get more frames playing conquest/s1. The server 100% has no been optimized since asylumv2 came out like 5-4 years ago. I think its pretty apparent nothing is being invested into the server and nothing is being returned. Link to comment
Kraken Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 I think the wipe will bring the grind back to the server for most people, I do agree new content would be nice, but investing in Devs is the quickest way to sink the server IMO. Your going to try and find random people that have never played on this server and give them access to all of Asylums files. You have no guarantee these devs, if you can find them, will put out quality content without fucking something up and walking away. In a perfect world with unlimited resources and no consequences paying and bringing on more devs would be a great idea. But, this is not a perfect world and i'm sure Mitch doesn't have access to unlimited resources. You guys have to think of this from Mitch's perspective. As for the the test wipe personally for the short period of time I did play, the grinding aspect was super fun for me, yes it sucked having to start from scratch, but i made money in ways i never thought i would. I experimented with other ways of making money too. This IMO has brought more Cartel fights to the server during this test wipe, and has just brought more action and fights to the server. One thing that I think should be removed on the topic of passive money making is the aging barrels being removed as well. Since they removed everything else why would aging barrels for passive money making be left in? 王 rando 王 likes this Link to comment

THEY JUST NEED TO BE PAID. THEY WORK FOR FREE. they do the bare minimum only to be shit talked on the forums constantly. no wonder there is no content. why would you make content if you don't play on the server anyway? why would you spend hours making and coding something for other people to enjoy that you aren't PAID for? it doesn't make sense. if I were them I wouldn't do shit either. because why would I? no incentive, no nothing Edited September 5, 2022 by Dillon BLOTTER, luke110, mckay315 and 1 other like this Link to comment

cHIP oTLE Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 I can attest to the fact that i misinterpreted the future use of the test wipe server just like numerous others. But, i also said, if they don't use this server data or they do another full wipe, that i'd be more than happy with that. it took 2 days to grind out enough to have all talent points, multiple sheds, and multiple S+ tier sheds within the gang. All of DS that played had a fucking blast. It also brought back a player @Maaqs, that hasn't played in YEARS. Whatever the decision is for the future, i'm cool with.

Kelly Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 I am all for a wipe I had a lot of fun being a noob again, but im on the fence about houses, I will be very sad about my house I only have one a care about but I think a lot of players wish theycould get houses but they have someone that will log in for five min just to save their houses and never play again. Maybe make a longer time needed to be played in order for people to refresh their houses so like an hour or two then people who dont play will either be forced to play or risk losing them or maybe make the amount of houses allowed smaller so some people can have a chance. I just really dont want to lose my house . The other thing that kind of bummed me out on the first few hours was a certain gang kept doing the fed and made millions, like I play in a group that also loves federal events but I just felt like the fed was too much for the first day.

But I feel that if you want to keep old players you're going to need to give more starting money like 50k or more, and atleast maybe 1 or 2 more talent points. I believe cops should also start with more talent points. Just like many other players, I was discouraged with the wipe because I had just stocked up my houses with about 500K worth of kits the night before. I think the best move for this would be to give about a weeks notice before the wipe so that people can then run through their stock and use everything they have. Like a purge.

OG Blunt Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) this server has gone through a lot, and no one wants to say it but it's the abusive ass admins that killed this server/ not to mention the slight racial undertone some of the server gave off. allowing the bigger gangs to just pretty much do whatever and have infinite money/gear. also there has been people who have been playing this server for well over 5 years plus and are still in the same gang they started, never allowing a cycle of newer gangs to build and prosper. I say the best solution would have more than one server running like the old days 2 or 3 so at least you can build a smaller loyal people on those servers, but as far as I see it, yall are wiping the server I put over 3gs down in for lack of effort, thanks mitch 🙂 Edited September 5, 2022 by OG Blunt Link to comment
