Update on Community Meeting 3/12/25

[Bob Danaloo]

Now I know how Terri Schiavo's husband felt... It's over, pull the plug, it's too painful to see Asylum in this state.

[Canna]

What are these updates?

Nobody is coming back for the same altis.

None of the "upcoming" is going to provide any content for us end users?

This is going to die faster then v3.

There goes the faith.

I think we would all rather see a new game at this point. Clearly we are incapable of making a successful Arma 3 server.

NEXT!!

Who here has a few $$ burning a hole in their pocket. Fivrr is full of devs looking to build a server. Even a half ass Dayz, FiveM or Reforge would have more success at this point.

[DEMI ROZE ヅ]

Milking this shit like rockstar on GTA 5

[Zurph]

[Sp0on]

Move to a different platform or fade into obscurity.

It's literally that simple.

• Prestige store with access to elite weapons, attachments, vehicles, and items.

•  

Another shitty idea, server will be dead two weeks after the release of the new update.

[HomeTrlx]

okay I gotta agree with most of the community here...

I lost faith in you guys 100%, just move to a newer game and try to advertise it, so you get new players. Maybe even change the name asylum, since this name is just bad rep, unlike years before dis.

Like wtf are these coming changes?

This doesnt make me want to install arma 3 again and play on a dead (literally) server.

After talking it through further with some folks I decided to roll this back in its entirety, prestige should not have been added back and I would rather make a luxury shop then waste time on an entire new system.

When I patch later this week I’ll have some further updates on the above

It just makes no sense. We have community meeting -> we don't want prestige but because of the feedback of 'some folks' we roll forward with a random non supported idea -> after talking it through with these (same?) folks, we are completely rolling back this idea? There is 0 feeling of continuity or control over this project at the moment and no amount of you getting up on the whipping post to accept abuse from us will change that. Though I disagree with your direction so far I have genuinely felt empathy to the fact that you are facing a lot of criticism and toxic feedback but you are doing it to yourself. 

In the meeting we spoke at length about the lack of clarity behind the new ownership groups leadership (i.e keeping the community in the dark, keeping your Admins and Community Managers in the dark, etc). I believe at one point you admitted that you guys were 'retarded' and need to be better. It has been a few weeks now and not a single person from staff to player feels that anything has changed on this front. It is still you, out here on the whipping post, bearing the cross of bad decision after bad decision being made collectively from a trio of owners (supposedly, as they say nothing we cannot know who is behind what). The amount of people sympathetic to your situation is swiftly dwindling and I am not sure anyone can give you anymore advice than what the community has already given you. Again, in your own words, stop being retarded.

  It's quite apparent this has literally become all about what you want for the server, and not what your community wants. It's your server and by all rights you can do what you want(which is what you're already doing.)

  I don't understand the point in asking for our input and not following through on things or keeping your word.

  You are showing more and more how much you don't care what the community wants, and this is just heartbreaking to watch. It has been mentioned time and time again, the community needs transparency. The community needs a change. You're not bringing any of that. 

 

Honestly dude, fuck your building blocks. This game is old and tired, much like your empty promises.

Dude I sit here and listen to everything that people say, what in your opinion is ignoring the community by deciding to move past a previous ownership decision in favor of what the community wants?

All of the things I’m adding are from suggestions that got good feedback or came from the poll on what people wanted to add.  
 

I don’t need anyone’s sympathy I need your ideas, because when 50 people scream at me a day to turn it off and the other 50 just tell me I’m ignoring the community, I look back at the poll and what we got out of the meeting and I’m still told I’m ignoring people.

 If you have ideas can you put them somewhere people can see so they can provide feedback?

Ngl you always say "If you have ideas youz can put them somewhere" like what? All I read here is negative (yes) but also why its negative. If you / you guys are soooo oblivious about the truth then you cannot be helped whatsoever.

 

Just like @Sp0on said its your server you can do w/e you want with it but if you dont want a private server in a dead game then move the fuck forward. Its pretty simple.

'Dude I sit here and listen to everything that people say'

Like I said, we have seen you here be at the front taking shit from people but it doesn't seem to have too much of an impact on what people want/want to see happen. More to my point, there are 3 of you and only 1 of you is here talking and listening while the other 2 don't say or interact with any of us. How is that in any way clear?

what in your opinion is ignoring the community by deciding to move past a previous ownership decision in favor of what the community wants?

The community has said, MULTIPLE TIMES, we DO NOT want prestige system. When there was always multiple people on grinding to be the richest person that was a functional way to have more people on the server at a given time than the current server average. Leroy, Bag, Farmer, some of the Chinese. If they are on at any time they are bringing multiple people online with them, the building blocks of population and player interaction. We gave our opinion, you did the exact opposite, rolled it back after we got extremely annoyed about it, and are now pointing at it as a 'See! We listened! What is your guys problem, we listen to you!'. Delusional.

All of the things I’m adding are from suggestions that got good feedback or came from the poll on what people wanted to add.  

The poll hasn't felt clear and open and I don't know how many people here feel that way. Why don't we do a poll about how we feel about the poll? And then a poll about the results of the poll about how we feel about the poll?

I don’t need anyone’s sympathy I need your ideas, because when 50 people scream at me a day to turn it off and the other 50 just tell me I’m ignoring the community, I look back at the poll and what we got out of the meeting and I’m still told I’m ignoring people.

I didn't buy the server. I never signed up to spend my time giving you ideas on how to develop and manage the product that you bought nor pretended like I knew how to fix this. If you 3 can't think of your own ideas that people will want to get on and play for, then that is not my problem or anyone in the communities problem except for your own. Make your ideas and live and die by the sword. Follow your mystical data poll down the nuts and bolts and go with that. At the end if none of it works, then it is what it is. 

 If you have ideas can you put them somewhere people can see so they can provide feedback? 

My ideas were to fix your ownerships management of your staff and product as a concept, to get your staff engaged and open communication until people were satisfied. I do not feel like this was done. Ask any random user right now and ask if they felt this was done. Ask your senior staff and community managers and ask if they felt this was done. Thank god you don't need our sympathy, because we don't have any left to give. I was worried when I felt like an unknown and insignificant group of players bought the whole server and took control of it, thinking it could never work. Feeling vindicated!

 

[silenthunter217]

talking about how malden would be too small, yet asylum server is dryer than akulas vag. yall talk a big game about bringing new things then completely drop the ball. making your design team bigger but somehow rarely pushing out new things that actually work is incredible! since the new year all ive heard from the owners and devs is "well when arma 4 drops" if thats the case then why even maintain this server? it seems like its on the back burner anyway, at this point let the flame go out. 

p.s. yall are bitches for banning me from the disc.

I never played much with you Fitz and i havent played the server in YEARS but Asylum is DEAD. Stop looking for suggestions from a community that isnt here and just take a leap on another project. Will it suck to see it go after 10+ years? Yeah but it aint gonna come back, not on this platform anyway.

Take the leap. Whats the worst that could happen? 

[Colin.]

[HomeTrlx]

Its like the first time in years if not a decade that the (almost the entire) community is somewhat on the same side.

Atleast you were able to manage that.^^

Like how can you manage a server worse than rouge who was never here?

[Zurph]

ill buy the server for 5k and pay you guys to dev it? i would have it higher pop then oly in a few months. not joking if your ego hurts to reply here DM me.

They chose not to dev on purpose when Rogue was owner so he would be forced to sell. They don't care now that they own it, won't code for themselves definitely won't code for anyone else

rogue dick rider statement tbh. You've really fallen...

They burnt out and thought buying the server would help. Dev work takes hours with little to no reward. Not like you or anybody else stepped up to the plate.

It's like a couple having a kid thinking it'll save their marriage.

Burnt out and then bought the server? Thats the worst possible shit I have ever read. That makes it more fucking stupid and why would Innate step up and dev? If most of the Admin team cant dev? And please dont come with "just learn it for free, for the server", bruh.

Either you are really dumb or just dumb cuz how would buying the server help, when they are fucking burnt out?!

That's crazy I hated rogue he was retarded, I'm just saying these guys literally planned out not deving with the intention of forcing rogue to sell to them. 
Intentionally sabotaged the server so they could potentially take ownership in the future, and thought the simple name change of owners would fix things.

Holy fuck you're retarded.

They may have thought buying the server may help get some of their motivation back, because it's now their responsibility and they would be rewarded. Like the kid and marriage shit people try that I referenced, they think having a kid would make things exciting again. Obviously it failed like most kids in those marriages 💀.

And yes I know Innate can't Dev, I can't either. But crying about it and blaming others when you sat on your hands and did nothing on dead forums isn't the way. Or are you too fucking dense to understand that?

Where else can a person vent their grievances besides the forums? Also why is it anyone else responsibility to fix what these current and past owners broke? There's no real incentive to code for Asylum, because even if so it's only going to be implemented if the person that coded has an in with the owners.

 

 

Fuck that. People are complaining because they love this place but hate what's being done. You're just as bad as them, if not worse, since you're bitching about others bitching. 

 

Also it's not like you contributed to anything when you were staff. So who tf are you besides some wana be dick rider?

I'm going out on a limb here. I love you all who are arguing your points of view. But i gotta be honest where needed. None of you were ever in the position where you were ever really to full understand the subjects you're arguing about. Don't let the friendships, connection or memories be corrupted by the current status of the community. The events that are occurring now are clearly outside of anyone's control. Despite the various people tying to help, it's clear that reason isn't in the room with us. 

It's alright to be upset, as losing what we have all came to for such a long and weird ass time is bound to hurt. The failure of the server signifies the loss of a common meeting place. 

No other game can bring a group of random ass people together. Since moving on, gaming has not been the same. I realized that I am lucky enough to experience a true jem here over the years. I feel fortunate to have the opportunity that so many people had no idea was possible. 

We kept a great corner of the internet alive, thriving, and the world best keep secret. 

Cherish what you've had here, and stick together more now than ever. There are only a few of you left that have been here long enough to remember the amazing times. It would be a shame to waste it on fighting.

Hold the line, don't be tempted to blame. I bear a responsibility for where the server is today, it's something that weighs heavy.

Life is full of regrets, so is asylum. Last year, my father passed away and my business investment also failed, making me lose all my savings. However, I still need to live strong and thank asylum for giving me three wonderful years.

no he was an ass owner aswell, he started the down slope of this community. Rogue bought it to see if he could bring it back and im assuming realized it was more of a bitch then he was thinking or he got real busy then these guys were offered the server for some reason and they are just holding the coffin till its completely gone. But i remember clear as day Mitch was terrible and was the true fall of this server. He milked the money till it became unprofitable.

That never helped anyone. The only thing that helps against a "burning out" is not more responsibilities... Its a break from them.

But you wouldnt understand it.

Ah yes tell me about responsibilities as if you know absolutely anything other than sitting on the forums and shit posting.

The best cure to burn out is a change in position or change in environment. A "break" is only a temporary fix. Obviously them not doing any dev work when Rogue owned the server was their "break" which didn't help buddy.

Please stop embarrassing yourself.
