Middleton, The core foundation of this community was built on a fair go. We (5 Founders) built this place as we were sick of the servers we played using their powers to have an massive advantage. To often we were teleported to and shot on site or blown up just because. When we brought this to light the admins denied everything and would ban us just to get us out of the channel or game. With those core values we built this place. I wouldn't say Ya Mum is a bad dude... I have spent many of hours with Ya Mum and he isn't a guy that would try to fuck us over. He is upfront which i like most. There has been many more worse staff from Altis Life then Wasteland with abusing their powers and players and in which has been dealt with. I am grateful for the time Ya mum has put into this community and i hope he sticks around. But with so many complaints by non staff into use of kits we opt to remove them (they have been removed). Now these complaints don't go to a set someone, all managers get to see them. There has been pressure into why Wasteland isn't as popular now. It can be based on a few things. New Games / Age of Arma 3 / Server performance / Staff / Mission Age / Lacking Features. These are all the things that come into play. We can do something that can improve WL that just requires some team work. About 2 Months ago we had a meeting about this. Things that could improve the place by reviewing the issues or what the players say. A common issue is FPS(my computer runs fine) some issues were the players having the view distance to high. FIX: make a quick guide to change the setting to improve your FPS. on this meetings it was said to not use their powers into just to play it to get a better idea. But the kits use grew. After been here for 4 years I understand people get shitty with each other. But keep in mind that what is said about people in some of our chats are often taken out of context. Its easy to blame a circle jerking group or "the higher ups" but when presented with options to how to handle these issues we try to make the right choices. I'll leave it at this Quote by you: an arbitrary at best function given to admins was the reason they were somehow abusing the playerbase is absolutely pathetic We don't tend to say publicly what happens behind the doors. I believe what was said in the post was put nicely. It could have every screenshot of every issue. In which would truly drag someones name through the mud. That is not needed here.

In response to this thread: I didn't really want to make a thread about this, i'm normally a fairly quiet player on the server and since retiring 2 years ago when J17 was around I tried to avoid getting involved in the politics of a gaming community, but this thread really did push me over the edge. It sickens me to see such rubbish being spouted out by a supposed "Leader" of this community, a person who was brought in and catapulted straight to the top due to internal friends, all of which is completely fabricated and insulting. The primary issue with this all is not only is he insulting peoples work that they have put into this server for years and given up their own free time instead of playing the game, he has done it to people who have done it for no reward, and clearly no personal gain now that this thread has come out dragging their names through the mud. This entire fiasco started due to some leadership staff increasingly putting pressure onto the Wasteland staff to "Boost the numbers" and "Provide better support for players", yet they had taken no notice of why the players were leaving the server, nor that it had nothing to do with the people who put in their own time to maintaining what little player base there was. You cannot moderate a server to popularity, and the sole responsibility of increasing population for a server lies in the hands of the developers and the owners, no one else. I understand complaints were made for some staff, as is expected with any moderation role as you need to make decisions which obviously the opposing party are not going to like (e.g. abusive players getting banned for being abusive, they are going to complain to get unbanned and pull any dirt up on the staff member they can). But that is not grounds to make people feel like they are worthless and that all the work they have put into this server was for nothing, they are what kept this server from falling into dismay and the fact that you would go as far to say that LOADOUTS, an arbitrary at best function given to admins was the reason they were somehow abusing the playerbase is absolutely pathetic. Loadouts were allowed at all times by the operating staff of wasteland as it not only doesn't affect other players unfairly, it is a minor perk as mentioned for people who have to spend their playing time moderating the server and not accumulating money. This new group of server leadership staff seems to have a persistent trend of pointing fingers instead of assisting their staff or resolving issues, and it really does put a poor light on what this community once was, a mere shadow of what it used to be, with poisonous people using their appointed ranks to do whatever they want to try and save face. It really makes me sad.

Im working on it

I need your guys help to decide whether to return to Altis or to not... That being said, I need this question answered: "Is StrayaGaming Altis Life being reset?" ; If so, when?

Name: Jack Fire Callsign: K06W Date of Disciplinary Action: 02/12/2017 What Disciplinary Action was placed against you: Demotion Who were you Disciplined by: Augnov (Well Mitch really but yeh) Reason for Disciplinary Action against you: Accidentally leaving a man restrained in PD. Automatically unrestrained after 15 or so minutes Why the appeal should be accepted: Even the person who I left restrained disagrees with the punishment as being way over the top (For example the other day an officer dropped a person in cuffs in the water and got a verbal warning for it). Infact he even admits he regrets taking it up because of the level of punishment that was made. I have only had a warning from about 2 years ago as previous disciplinary action however taking up 15 minutes of this mans time, who was meant to be going to gaol anyway if I had not offered to release him on community service, was judged to be worth a demotion. I believe this is harshly overzealous and was influenced by my past, expunged, disciplinary actions as well as my past status within the police force, which I feel is extremely unfair as an officer attempting to work my way up the ranks again. I showed remorse for my actions offered to fully compensate the person who experienced the trouble (to stop any legal action and because I knew I had made a mistake and wanted to make it fair for the person who I had hurt), however I was told to not compensate the man but that I would "still" face a demotion. The person appeared to be unrestrained as I pulled him out of my vehicle so I immediately ran to the bus to help fellow officers who were in a firefight. I was told my actions still required a demotion because they were "reckless" however the definition of a reckless action requires intent to commit the action in the first place. I was more then upfront about the mistake, in fact I didn't even claim meta-game for "finding" my name when I was masked and in SRT blacks. Any other information: The decision of what was going to happen to me was obviously made before I even got to put my side forward and I believe such is unfair. @kiwisniper @Augnov

The new StrayaLife doesn't have a decided time of arrival just yet, Connor and further staff are helping to develop it and try go as quick as possible, in my eyes i say why not join back. You'll have a good amount of time to play, a couple of months at least. The reason for the lengthy reset is due to the depth and coding amongst this "Update" of such. But you will definitely have enough time to make sufficient money and have some fun.

Best of luck to your new team.

Here's how to fix rebels taking over PC1 for financial gain or whatever reason they come up with.

Well he ain't lying

Server FPS has been good on my end. The AO improvements have had a positive effect on infantry as well. You don’t seem to encounter 30 people barricading themselves at the HQ anymore. People seem to be walking around the AO to a greater extent. Have noticed a massive increase in people taking medic slots as well. I jumped on yesterday for a bit and there was only one Whitelisted spot available, everything else was taken. great job with the update and refresh

Yes, mortars can be mounted onto the small civ trucks. If you're a JTAC or Team Leader, you can also designate targets for CAS/Arty and it will create a Task and state it in side chat: Some of the other logistics stuff you can do:

Can we cut down on the responses saying "Yes" or "+1" and give a constructive response to this topic. I am interested to see what people think of this topic and how they would like to see it, with the reasons they would like it like that. I do agree with the responses that the CP is not being used as they may be intended or by police officers, I see it more being manned by rebels or small gangs to create an ambush for small groups entering and leaving Sydney. I would love to see it being used for RBT's, vehicle checks, etc by the police officers again. The reason I would say that police do not man it is the immediate threat of rebels, they are sitting outside of the city limits, meaning that there are no rule restrictions that prevent a group using the rebel gear at this location.

So with the guidance of the almighty Dasweetdude, He's suggested I post offer my Zeus scenarios here. Here are some of the following 'good' scenarios/ideas for Zeus missions: Scenario A: Rescue - Fishron DownNATO reinforcements have been stranded on a island off the coast, and have been captured by the enemy. The island is protected from air assaults with skilled AA infantry, the best solution is infiltration by boat or amphibious craft. COMMAND has already setup a FOB with vehicles close to the area, but you will need your own transport to get there. Gather a platoon/section and rescue our friends.Mission parameters - Timed?[Mission FAIL: Time expired] - Possible Scenario B?[Mission SUCCESS] - Reward? Goto scenario C?? Scenario B: Secure object/Intercept - Fallen StarCSAT has captured one of our autonomous drones that was being shipped to the airbase and is holding it at one of their local bases, infiltrate and secure the drone before their security experts are able to decode the encryption.Mission parameters - Timed?[Mission FAIL: Time expired] - CSAT has managed to decode the encryption and are now moving to the radio station to transmit the data, intercept and capture the Officer in charge.[Mission FAIL: Time expired] - Chance of 'hacked' Grey-hawks hitting friendly targets (similar to Priority: Artillery)[Mission SUCCESS] - Reward? Unique reward? Scenario C: Secure object - Perfect StormNATO JISR suggests that CSAT has transported an experimental weather manipulating bomb onto Altis island, they are storing the device in a truck located in their base. Ensure that CSAT does not have the opportunity to use it, but do not destroy it as NATO intelligence wants to study it. SECURE THE TRUCK.Mission parameters - ???[Mission FAIL: Truck destroyed] - Weather change? Time change?[Mission SUCCESS] - Follow up: Escort the truck back to base (Truck can only go on main roads? Zeus drives?). Possible ambush points. Land mines? Break a wheel off the truck?? Scenario D: Capture and Hold - Into the maw of the TigerRecently the AAF and CSAT have hacked into our secure network and we have yet to locate the breach. NATO JISR have located where our sensitive information might be stored. Capture the stronghold and Escort our resident top hacker 'blackSh33p' to find out how they got into our systems. We don't expect the AAF and CSAT to take it lightly and they will attempt to retake the stronghold. Your objective will be to defend the stronghold from enemy attack until 'blackSh33p' can finish up and EXFIL safely. Scenario E: Defend (Repair) - Stuck in the mudCOMMAND has received an urgent request for support at one of our FOBs, they need a repair specialist to fix up one of their tanks (Disabled and Out of Ammo) but they are under heavy fire from infantry (and possible enemy vehicles for balance reasons). Escort the engineer (Zeus) to the objective and defend the objective until he finishes up the repairs and resupply (Huron Ammo?)! So basically here are some ideas I've come up with, feel free to critique and write up notes. I have no technical knowledge of the behind the scenes stuff so feel free to shoot them down as well. I hope these ideas are somewhat intelligent and interesting, I look forward to your feedback!

xD wtf did I actually say SUCH MUCH XD

It's Arma in general. Older Arma 3 players have moved away from Arma, and the demographic has switched from 20-35 year olds to 13-20 year olds, resulting in less mature players and more trolls. Secondly, the cop force (In my opinion) is not in the same shape it used to be, there was a time where our Police Force was used as an example for other servers, not anymore. As @Michael Steiner mentioned, there are currently no standout gangs, so the largest groups you're going to have are 2-3 people inside city limits, there's no real complaint there. It's easy to remember the good things that we had a couple years ago, but you're also forgetting a LOT of the negatives

I think there is more rebel activity for sure but there aren't any stand out gangs apart from aobe and they're shit so rebels are coming closer to city limits to **** with cops rather than fitting between each other.

Recently there have been some staff members that have either been getting bored with the work they are doing, or are unable to work appropriately with other staff members. Some have retired, some have been removed from staff and one has even been community banned as a result. I would like to point out that I am targeting the ex-staff members and making it very clear that we will never tolerate this kind of behavior. Unfortunately, when it comes down to it, this is the sad reality of any online gaming community. There is no legal obligation for staff to perform and act correctly, they are all volunteers. We entrust a lot of power and authority in the staff team, intending for it to be used to benifet the community. Sadly some staff will decide that they are leaving, or bored of the community. Due to the nature of the internet and anonymity, they elect to destroy whatever they can in an attempt to bring everyone and everything down with them. Here is a brief overview of recent incidents: Wasteland Over the past few weeks and months, Lucky B33f and I have been discussing at lengths about issues with Wasteland Staff abusing the powers that we have given them, to quite severe extents. In a recent patch we removed 90% of the 'fun' admin tools, this is purely due to the fact that no appropriate resolution could be made between the wasteland staff after multiple interventions to reduce the abuse of power. As a result of this YaMum the Administrator was removed from staff, Baden retired, and Unit Retired. Lucky B33f and I both identified multiple players receiving abuse from YaMum while under an alias. Additionally YaMum was responsible for the introduction of over 350 admin kits to the game and the utilization of player markers to gain an unfair advantage more than 200 time. For a comparison of kits between other staff, see the below numbers. Admin kits allow staff to spawn in items for them to use on either event or for general gameplay, we normally allow this as staff are usually unable to spend the same amount of time playing the game and building up their arsenal due to staffing work. Please note these results were recorded on December 19th. Admin Kits since Dec 1st Yamum 48 Unit 12 James 1 Excel 0 Baden 10 Total 71 Admin Kits since forever Yamum 320 Unit 22 James 38 Excel 49 Total 487 Altis Life We have permanently banned Krypkii from the community due to multiple breaches of community guidelines after he retired. Krypkii, after deciding to retired has proceeded to remove all community members from the Discord server. Spawn in money on Altis Life with Moderator tools and abuse moderator functions to hunt and kill other players. In this image Krypkii altered his bank account to give himself $80m These are the logs for Krypkii using the free cam function to teleport around the map and kill players.
