Hi All, Lucky B33f and I have been working on purchasing some new dedicated servers and upgrading all of the game server hosts. It's finally time, and I have purchased a new server. It's not the one that will be running Altis Life permanently, but due to certain circumstances we needed to purchase this one first. It will hold Altis Life temporarily while we move stuff around, and when the move is done we will work on Altis Life's more permanent home next. During this time we will be testing a few performance tweaks, and are hoping that they will fix the mass BattlEye kicks. Since we are dropping the current server for this new one I will need to turn all services off while I move them to prevent data loss, and to ensure all services are moved over correctly. The plan is for an afternoon outage today where Teamspeak, the database and AltisLife will be moved over, the sooner this happens the better for everyone. After Altis Life and Teamspeak are moved over and working correctly more of the back-end and staff tools will be moved over on Thursday night. Finally, all services will be down while I set it up properly on Friday, and come Saturday morning it should all be running as normal again. TL:DR Here are some estimated outages while we migrate the current Altislife dedicated server. Wednesday: 8pm - 2am Downtime for initial transfer. Services effected (Altis Life, TCAdmin, Staff Tools, Wasteland, Altis Life, All Project, Lab and Dev servers, Teamspeak, Website based tools, (Maybe I&A)) Thursday: 8pm - 12am Downtime for importing several services. Services effected (Altis Life, TCAdmin, Teamspeak) Friday: 8pm - 2am Downtime for anything not completed on Thursday. NOTES: All times are server time - AEDT. Please note that during these above times Lucky B33f and Red will not be contactable, except by Managers if critical.

UPDATE #11 In the event of any catastrophic errors or problems on initial release, we may revert back to the previous version. Please note that this will be the final 'official' update for our current version of wasteland (1.2b). Development will now be focused on setting up version 1.3b for use.

@Red is there any chance you can set it back from 10 to say 4 due to 4-10 being prime time

This has been a long while coming. but first, lets take a little trip down memory lane: It all started in May, 2016. A young rookie named SOB stole a pubslot (while totally not lobby idling) to take his first steps on cop. what followed were months of late night shifts with @orgug, firefights against the various gangs but mostly SP, Drug dealer and house raids, blowing up countless vehicles and drug dealer buildings, role-playing the absolute shit out of most situations and plenty of good memories made and friendships formed both within the APD and around the Altis Life community in general. I rose through the ranks quicker than just about any other cop did two tenures as the Commissioner of Police. But all things must end, even good things and I've decided to hang up the MXSW and Gas Grenades. I have now formally retired from the APD and focus on other things in my life and to allow other officers the opportunity at advancement. I've enjoyed the privilege to lead the APD through highs and lows and massive changes and hope I've had a positive impact on the APD and the server as a whole. I'll drop by from time to time and make sure things are going smoothly, so to the cops of Altis...do me proud guys. @FlexGood luck in your new role and congrats on being made Commissioner -SOB going 10-9 for the last time.

Patch 11.1 In the event of any catastrophic errors or problems on initial release, we may revert back to the previous settings while we make appropriate changes Development Tweak - AI* Tweak - Welcome Dialog Tweak - Spawn beacons* Tweak - Server Event: Jet mission* Tweak - Increased territory hold reward (Per 30 minutes) Tweak - Various map objects that either caused significant lag or spawning issues Extra Details Server Event: Jet mission Longer duration for reward marker. AI Reduced aiming Increased intelligence Spawn Beacons Spawn beacon Prices have been dramatically reduced. Spawn beacons will no longer persist over restarts.

I will miss you !! SOB was my best friend in the police . From my first day on the police i knew he would be the best cop ! . I miss the days we was pubs and we go on patrol and you show me How to drive on the other side of the road Dont forget me and come visit !!!!!! @That Lucky SOB

1,343 Hours On Arma. This is just some of my journey. I tend to make videos when I'm bored. This is just one of said videos. Thanks to everybody I've met, Between R.O.T (RIP, ded AF) and SG.

So how do we know we won??? @DJ_JoozBrorg

Sentence just makes me teary

It is disabled for now as it is seemingly the cause of a mass kicking issue. Will be re-enabling it sometime on the weekend to see if the issue remains or not.

we have disabled it due to server issues. althought we found the issue so we might be able to add it back in @Fitz?

Hello everyone, is anyone else experiencing there truck blowing up at syd market. Every time I spawn my hostage taking truck [hemmet uncovered] it blows up. its seems to be anything zamack or bigger happening to anyone else?

So i am making this post because we get a lot of posts asking the same thing over an over. From now on, we won't go explaining why we chose to make that decision you will simply be directed here. Q. Hey you guys should add Task Force Radio to the server. It would add a more intense level of realism and increases squad communication by a lot making the experience overall better. A. While yes it would be fun and more realistic to have the Task Force Radio mod on the server. It would need to be a requirement to play because all the correct frequencies would need to be setup. This cannot be done without the modules that come with the mod. You might then suggest to make it an optional mod because yes, that would somewhat work. We tried this in a test with some players and it worked great. But there were problems where players in tanks couldn't communicate with their long range radios to other players because they were using vehicles from opposite factions, eg the Kuma (AAF). There would also be the problem where, some pilots would want to use the mods but others wouldn't. Communication with the pilots would become messed up as some pilots wouldn't be able to hear other pilots. Or the pilots using TFAR would need to be in a different Channel so they can comm with other TFAR users. Q. When are you guys making a Tanoa Invade an Annex? A. We aren't. For the time being. Why? Well the player base for Tanoa I&A is not present in the Oceanic Region. When Tanoa was first Released there was a server on Tanoa for I&A. Most people played it for a day and got bored and went back to Altis. Tanoa is also part of the Apex DLC and a lot of people do not have it as some believe it is not worth for what you get. Getting A Tanoa I&A would also cut out of the playerbase of the Altis I&A server. which decreases the fun for everyone. Q. When are you guys making a modded Invade an Annex? A. The Same Reason we aren't making a Tanoa I&A. because the playerbase for a modded Invade an Annex isn't present in the oceanic region. While yes there would be a somewhat consistent playerbase, many players would return to Vanilla I&A because that's where the rest of the players are. Its not fun flying 2 people back an forwards in a black hawk simply because its a black hawk. Q. Why don't you guys start a milsim/realism group thats like I&A? A. Because we have tried this in the past and it doesn't work. There are plenty of Milsim units around that do the job. If you have Further Questions please contact one of the I&A Staff Below @Fitz @InfamousNova @Rogmantosh @shift597 @Richard @Ora209 @Kyroe @M9' @BridTheAtl
