Foreword: 

This is not the first time that I have had to write a foreword on a patch note, over the last several months the general state of the server has decreased significantly, development has been excruciatingly slow, and folks have again lost faith in Asylum staff.  Yet again I over promised and under-delivered.  As I'm sure most of us have experienced, sometimes life is difficult to predict, and we cannot always spend as much time on things as we'd like.  We have been able to make strides on bringing on more help, broaden the load and try and get back on track.  Who knows how far we will get, but I am committed to continuing this effort and reviving this community.

  1. Development, increase the frequency of patches and features, increase size of team via new developers and @Jesse returning to help me in a development & advisor capacity.
  2. Community, we will be selecting both a community manager(s), and a community council, this will be a public process where community members will be able to observe and ultimately provide feedback on ideas before they are developed.  More information on this process will be released in a post ideally next week,
  3. Upgrading legacy systems and experiences, forums, TS, discord, Wiki, etc.
  4. Patch notes formatting- starting with this patch, patch notes will be posted all on the same "Changelog" Post, this way like most games you will be able to see patches right on top of each other to track progress.  We will still have a dedicated post for feedback.

In our community meeting update I announced a bold new idea to shrink the map and increase interaction.  After some time exploring this idea, and hearing feedback I have decided to take the lessons we learned and the features we liked to into a unique experience with everyone at the table and keep everyone's play styles available.  Our goal is still to increase interaction and combat outside of scripted locations, and we have the ability to use the map to our advantage in this regard.  Specific ideas will be worked on and brought to the community as we flush out the ideas that we are hearing.


 1. The winning gang of domination Saturday afternoon will have the option to choose one of the three deep state Ifrit skins

 2. The five players with the top playtime on the server between now and Monday Morning will receive the Cybertruck Ifrit Skin
 3. The ten players with the top playtime on Saturday morning will each receive 1000 Asylum gold.
 4. The gang with the most cartel captures between patch and Sunday Night will get 6 months of free Asylum Plus
 5. I will be TPing around the map and giving out a number of other items as well.


The Event coordinators will be running a number of events as well, they will announce a schedule soon.  I will incorporate some of these skins and rewards into these events.


This patch will go live this Friday, 5/2/25 at 5:30pm EST

That’s a loser mindset Gnike. That same mindset is why they thought it’d be better to have a reduced/smaller map to force more player interaction with a dwindling player count.

Maybe if our owners had better ideas we could just have a better server and more players so we wouldn’t have to do this.

Like seriously, can we stop pretending the game Arma 3 is our limitation here and start acknowledging that maybe the real downfall in the past 2 years is god awful ideas, poor implementation of ideas the community was in favor of, complete lack of communication, and the constant banning and censoring the players who’ve been here for 5-10 years all over some keyboard warrior shit.

Since this server has been dead Olympus almost doubled the maximum player count of their server and it’s been full everyday for months. They strategically took in all the Asylum refugees after our continued fumbling.

@Fitzseriously, it’s not that hard. Just let me fix it bro.

@FritzCouple of suggestions based off playing the new Update. I see the payout increases with the goals on the delivery missions. That’s cool, but the payout is extremely low for the time involved. The Carl mission took 38 minutes, flying to the truck with a heli to start, and only net 55k. It would be way longer if you drove to find the truck or car. The Vinny Mission took 15 min, flying to the car and only was a net of 15k. You can rob a gas station and make almost 14k in 5 minutes. I like the mission ideas, I just think the reward needs to be a bit higher. There is no way you would complete that without a fight during peak times.

Paros looks very cool and the new buildings are well done.

Spawning at the Paros Fire Station as medic places you under the floor. You have to squat walk to the side of the building and come up from the parking lot.

Just my few observations

@FitzThis was another banger update brother. I think I speak for everyone here when I say all of the asylum community owes you a heartfelt apology for doubting your ability and hard work at making this happen and returning us to the golden age of asylum.

Under your newly received leadership and guidance we have seen a mind blowing surge from 0 players to 13 In the first 24 hours and I for one would like to thank you. The 5 hours a week you self admittedly put into developing this patch each week for like the last 2 months, really shows your initiative and love for the community and that you won't ever let our story and dream die here but will continue to fight for us and let us share your vision for the future.

A ship and it's crew are only as good as it's captain. And I sleep safer at night knowing Captain Fitz is at the helm. Keep up the good work skipper *salutes*
