This is mainly in response to a posts made earlier, not naming but I think we all know what happened, shit went down hill. I am probably not the only one thinking this and I think someone needs to say that we all need to grow up, Including myself, I have done this plenty of times. We need to stop attacking the people when they post something on the forums, no matter how stupid the post might seem to you, they are probably thinking their idea is rather good, although it may not be to the vast majority of us. I do know and understand that we all have an opinion and we all want to be heard but sometimes the way we say things can be taken as an attack on the person, which will cause them to respond and will cause more people to be drawn in to defend each other and will cause a shit storm then a Lock on the post, so the Idea can't be built from and Solutions cannot be found. So really we need, in situations where this may happen is just to have your say, in a polite way, for E.g I don't see this working because ......... (List reasons that you think of), then say a alternate way that the same solution could be achieved or a different way to minimize the problem. We can all have a say but we should just think about what we say, and try make it about the discussion and create a debate not just throwing shit at each other. I am not trying to make it seem like I am the perfect one, I have done this a fair amount when I jut get frustrated at people but I think we all should take a second to think before we post a reply, and as some forum mods have said in some posts "either it gets back on track from dissing each other and throwing shit back and forth and getting nothing out of it or it gets locked." So this may to some people sound like I am stirring the pot but I personally think that sometimes WE (including myself) act like children on the forums and I think that we are all better than that. There will be people that still act like this an will attack either this post or any others that come after this and I hope that the Forum Mods will punish them accordingly.

Fellas, I thought I would leave this to a vote and something to talk about... White-listed Rebel Bases... As I understand most of the rebel gangs are inactive that hold these bases. So Lets change things up for abit. Each week 1 rebel gang can challenge the gang that owns a base. They are to work out a time and date for this war to kick off. If no agreement on time and date of the war. It will be 7pm Sunday by default. Of course there will be guide lines how this plays out. Eg if a gang doesn't show up. We are able to set a gang leader to be able to white-list the members he/she chooses (This is so gang leaders don't depend on the admins). Some suggestions on how this plays out. We add another flag capture point (like gang hideout) In an town that has nothing. Give it a starting point for the gangs on each side, First gang to cap the flag wins the base. Or You conduct a raid on that set base at the agreed time. (current gang plays defence if any member found re spawning back while the raid happens the attacking gang instantly receives the base) Or Your suggestion here I would like real suggestions If you agree with a persons suggestion like their post if you don't thumbs down. Aids posts will be hidden or restricted accounts I'm not after banter between each other

Hahaha thanks @LuckyB33f & @Excel I suppose

Dam bro, Wish i could hold down left-click.

Come try get NTR base see what happens ;)

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.

Who made that meme? Because its horriable.

I've known Excel for a long time now, since before his days as SRT vehicle manager. We've spent a lot of time together whether that be as SP or Cop but either way he shows leadership qualities and a great attitude with a great sense of knowledge towards everything he does in his day to day activities as Cop. He is well deserving of SGT and has proven multiple times that he can take a leadership role on. +1

lol

Look at my skin I am black ?

//Pending// I will have a talk with my team and come to a conclusion

Im not trying to sound like a dick, but as soon as links (good admin but power got to his head), Mozkleby ( Great leader/Manager but couldnt handle the mess which was happening at the time) and myself retired, the whole server population started to decrease. Dont get me wrong, it didnt just go from like nearly maxed to 40 straight away. It just slowly dropped down. Im not saying unit stuffed it up. He has done a great job taking over moz but it leads to more of towards the other staff and also lack of interest of playing wasteland. I aint pointing any fingers at anyone.... just putting my 2 cents in. I would love to come back but we would have to see ?

My exact thoughts +1.

+1 Yeah Bro, Hes a been a good mate of mine for a long time now, we have shared a lot of amazing memorys and fun together, He can muck around when its ok but when a bank or situation arises he can switch into someone that is focused on the task at hand and someone that doesn't mess around. He would do great as a Sergeant

+1 Great cop deserves Sergeant

3/1/18 Big fat (54mb) update adding most of the textures back in and fixing/tweaking some stuff. I added the textures back as I don't think we'll need another update until the end of the month. Changes: Added most textures we're used to back in as well as some new ones for the Mohawk and one for the Neophron. Added new dark skin for the Y-32 which is applied to the transport one by default. Changed default Orca skin. Fixed spawn rotations Y-32 should now spawn in rotation with the Blackfish. Heavy lifters should no longer have medium helis spawning on the same pad. Pilots no longer respawn instantly if their heli/plane is still alive at death. 5 minute bleed-out timer (half the usual time). Pilots now take reduced damage when flying. Damage modifier will now be active during Kavala urban AO (reduced damage to players). (Always active on Tanoa). Hopefully fixed aggressive vehicle respawn for base vehicles. Unfortunately, random AO vehicles and Eastereggs will still despawn as usual for now. (Altis) Decorated Side base and added vehicles there. 1 Hummingbird, locked to non-pilots only. 1 Offroad and 1 Prowler (Light). Adjustments to Command Surrender stuff. Tweaked some Staff menu and Curator related things. Added 244MHz channel. Gave staff access to Aircraft channel. (Altis) Fixed HQ that had wrong simulation value on buildings. Added confirmation box to first person lock option, as some people can't read... Fixed player assembled weapons couldn't be mounted. Classic AO adjustments AI skill tweaked. AO AI spawn count tweaked (vehicles included). Adjustments to DB stat collection. Fixed some script errors. Few other small tweaks. Known issues: When towing and attempting to load cargo into a VTOL, the 'Load Cargo' option doesn't work. Apparently pilots randomly die when landing. Haven't been able to reproduce this however. Big thanks to everyone that has reported bugs and issues to us! I have heard complaints about the AI being too easy and occasionally pilots being able to fly straight into AOs pretty much unharmed. I have also noticed the short time some of the AOs take to be completed (11mins in one case). I have increased the difficulty and spawn count of some AI/vehicles and will be monitoring the result. As the watermark in the bottom left of your screen says, this is a beta...

So database logs from 2017 are fabricated? Players filing reports and complaining are fabricated? I was once told from one of these staff members "Logs don't lie", well they sure don't do they? Now unless you're trying to tell everyone that this evidence is fabricated. No, what's insulting is the players that were banned, abused and neglected due to a person in a position of power. Could you please provide some examples? I can name a few for one. Using leadermarkers to gain an unfair gameplay advantage through gaining the knowledge of where every single group leader was on the map at all times. Whenever my group used to play on the server we would assign a 'sheep' to be group leader, which essentially means sentencing him to die at the hands of Ya Mum, and surely enough this happened every single time. It wouldn't matter if you where 15 meters apart from each other, he would always kill the group leader 90% of the time. With jets, rockets, drones and finally wall banging with a APDS Lynx. If you're telling me these reasons to not equate to disgruntled players as they would die due to a major disadvantage, any element of surprise or stealth went out the window when you where either a group leader or a Single Indi player (Counts as leader). If anyone questioned him in global he would come up with any excuse to say he wasn't using an unfair advantage. Anyone should sure as hell quit the server after being shot through a wall with a Lynx multiple times, and he always gave the same excuse "Your gun was through the wall" etc. Multiple times.. If you don't see the problem here then why even question StrayaGaming Leads. No you cannot but you can sure as hell run it into the ground through abuse of power. What exactly does 'dirt' consist of? You make it sound like hard evidence is to be ignored because it is 'dirt' Of course if someone is banned unfairly they will try their best to get unbanned. Imagine if you spoke about kits in global and got permanently banned, doesn't seem right does it? Or if you saw an admin spawn inside a jet then went to question it and got banned? It sounds like you cannot accept the hard truth of the manner. Your friends cheated and they got caught, you can make any excuse you want but at the end of the day they're in the wrong. So you're telling me the ability to spawn in fully kitted with a Thermal helmet, AA, Ghillie, Lynx and Nightstalker isn't unfair. What about a Compact, Thermal Helmet, Navid and Nightstalker. This can be argued as gear does not equate to skill. However when you combine that with the use of Leadermarkers it opens the gates to so many possibilities. Tell me exactly how the use of these kits which would normally cost near 90k each isn't unfair to be used unlimited times , or how it does not unfair affect others, or how it is a minor perk. You can't? That's alright, I wouldn't be able to either. The whole arrangement of "it is a minor perk as mentioned for people who have to spend their playing time moderating the server and not accumulating money" is invalid once the people who have access to it played every single day for 30 days straight for multiple hours per day. Anyone could accept the use of those kits if they had limited play time, or that they are hard at work developing for the server, or expanding the map. But once you give a function like that to someone who plays more than 80% of the playerbase and allow him to do as he wishes it becomes a major problem. On the off chance he dies with all these advantages or a player kills him despite him knowing their location all the time, he can spawn another in and do it all again? No, anyone with half a brain would call this an unfair advantage, but you call it a "Minor Perk" and argue that it does not negatively affect others. Additionally loadouts to my understanding where allowed for moderate use, not for usage unlimited times within the day. I cannot say my opinion on this manner as i do not know what goes on behind closed doors at StrayaGaming, however i'm sure the Staff members where warned. It also makes me sad that this kind of behaviour was allowed to go on for such a long period of time, and i am thankful for Red & LuckyB33f naming and shaming the staff in question. How exactly was it unfair, maybe it unfair to the players that where on the other end of it? What and when he chooses to do when your are playing is completely up to him, however even though you may of never seen him use kits recently, the server logs once again are there and they do not lie. And i'm sure those newer staff members have done more for StrayaGaming than Ya Mum did in his entire years of 'hard work', of which all he was an over glorified moderator. He was given power to do good and he abused it and was dealt with. How exactly isn't it true that he abused his powers, you cannot look at the cold hard facts and accept them, please tell that the the many people that have quit Wasteland due to him, or the individuals that where unfairly disadvantaged due to his 'non-abuse' of power.

I appreciate the response beef, Even with that though, I play with 2 of those staff members every day, I heard most of what was going on behind the scenes and I still truly believe that the whole situation was completely unfair. I understand that kit use may have occurred in the past, but it was allowed by the server manager, and within the past 2 months I have not seen him use a kit with me me, and I play fairly often. Regardless of that I think you can appreciate that a server administrators job shouldn't be pulled into question by the use of some kits in-game, and years of his hard work questioned by leadership staff that came into the server well after he had taken on his role. I think that he should have at least had a chance to try and fix the issues with Wasteland in a co-operative environment instead of being put up on display as a person who abuses his powers, because that is not true at all. That fact that a poll was started to fire him from his position while discussions were still being had about how to help the wasteland server population and fix any issues with staff is completely wrong. I know this post probably won't fix or change anything but I really hope that the new team that has to come to try and help the wasteland server doesn't get such a harsh go, because at the end of the day they are giving up their free time to help your server, they should not be the ones being put on trial.

I Is BlinD

Thats wet

@Happy Meal for srt

srt elite team.

What the hell has happened ever since myself and mozkelby retired. Seriously, it has come to this. Fellow staff members abusing their powers (ya mum) no surprise there. Always felt a bit fishy about him. Shocked that the population is like this now.

Donk has had his rusty times and shown a bit of resilience and shows the true values of an officer, completely deserving the rank of Sergeant. His dedication and quick change of attitude towards cop is immenseful. He's a changed person and his maturity grows every minute I speak to him.
