Alright, here we go, I will do the honors and tackle this head first. In this post I will outline and explore the issues regarding the Wasteland server and I will propose optimal solutions in order to fix the server and help recreate the fun, populated Wasteland Server we all know and love. Myself and many others would like to see this positive change as the server can currently be much better. Once again I would like to start by reminding you that I don’t own a stake in StrayaGaming, I don’t gain anything other than fun from the server success. Bluntly the Wasteland server is not fun anymore and has lost its charm. This is due to the poor server performance and additional implementations/restrictions. So at one stage people were unhappy that keep getting killed by Vehicles? Why? Reality was everyone complaining was sitting down camping in the gun store? No one had the realisation “Ohhh that’s a bad idea let's try something else?” People can get weapons through the missions too? Unfortunately others saw this and took it the wrong way and removed vehicle functionality? This ultimately impinges upon the integrity of the player base. In reality, a squad can’t be everywhere at the same time, people need to split up. There is always a way in Wasteland and I have never found myself in a dead end with 0 options. 2 Primary issues as follows: Server Performance is terrible - limited view range impinges upon PVP Gameplay. Gameplay has deviated from a KOTH Style across map deathmatch to a restricted grinding simulator. How can we fix this? Revert back to vanilla and build up from the bottom, only put required scripts and remove anything which doesn’t positively contribute to the gameplay. This will also help resolve the current state of the gameplay. As mentioned the gameplay is not fun anymore and has deviated from the original KOTH style across map deathmatch. This is a large reason as to why the dedicated playerbase has left, there is nothing fun to do anymore, proper fights have been removed. Vehicle use has been “balanced” to a point that is beyond ridiculous. Grinding the game for money provides you with a currency in which you can use to purchase tools that will help you get more money. This right here is what has disappeared. You grind to get money which you can use to purchase ineffective vehicles and other useless tools??? People want to be able to spend 100k on a jet that can get 50-100 kills, people don’t want to spend 100k on a jet that will get shot down because AA costs under 10k for the launcher and 6 rockets, additionally you can position yourself anywhere on the map, you can be in a ghillie and hide away, what chance is a jet going to have? They are loud and noisy, can only rearm on the landed on ground which they are vulnerable and susceptible to random spawn solo vehicle rams and across map AT. AA Tanks cost cost less than half the price and can smoke a jet. Logically, why use air if it is useless? “The level of difficulty to spot players who may have ghillies and are masked with so much terrain in comparison to a loud Jet which you can hear and identify from so far. You can be hiding anywhere and all you need is an average backpack or 2 well-placed AA rockets to rip apart a Jet. Imagine 3-4 players all with AA part of a nice big Opfor Squad Each with backpacks full of AA.” Air is unbalanced because much of it is effective at long range only, therefore changing playstyle is required and much skill is needed to make use of the purchase. I also think that rearm should be free, people should be able to infinitely rearm such as in KOTH. The gamemode needs to reflect balancing of KOTH to bring the fun aspects into existence. Many may not understand but when you get pounded by a infinitely armed mortar the adrenaline that comes with the unexpected attack and the strategy involved to take it out was amazing(never really used mortars that much). The fight to hold the airfield and maintain air superiority was amazing, then if you had a jet on your team you had to protect it every time it had to rearm. There should also be a bank wipe with such changes. 3D spotting is also gone, as are thermals, how do you spot hidden ground players now in vehicles? If they are not in open areas near high risk areas what can you? Vehicles are bigger and make noise when they move. Handheld AA and AT just gets better and better. You spend plenty of money on expensive vehicles that are almost useless. Once again we must look at KOTH to realise how far we have deviated from the style once replicated in Wasteland. (Other issues and their solutions) Additional Issues brought up by other veterans: - “AA/AT compact launchers too cheap -Verona launcher should be cheaper, ammo needs to be expensive ~ $1500per - OP Gunstore bases designs. (prevents new player progression) needs build item limit within gunstore radius - Increase vehicle storage +1 - Fix pawnee flare and radar” Thank you for reading, I hope that these changes are taken into consideration and greater help is provided to allow the server to be max population again. I have spent time writing this because I care, please don’t respond with a thoughtless comment that adds no value to this thread. 1,000 words because I care...

The current version of treasure wrecks was added to the server way back in December 2016, and I still find people being told incorrect information on how to do them. Here's a tutorial for you so there is no confusion on treasure wrecks and what you need to do them. What you need: Mode of transportation out to the wreck zone A way to get down to the ocean floor A way to stay down there for long periods of time Something to carry the loot in Recommended items & vehicles: SDV Submarine Diving suit Diving goggles Rebreather vest Any big backpack What to look for once you're on the ocean floor: A vtol wreck or trawler wreck. You can know which one you're after by looking at the marker on the map. How to access the treasure wreck: Get really close to it and scroll wheel, click the action named "Search for treasure!". This will open an inventory menu where you can take whatever loot you like. What can be found in treasure wrecks: Illegal gold bars Diamond (Processed) Ruby (Processed) Sapphire (Processed) Tokens Final notes: You do NOT need any items to do the treasure wreck. No bolt cutters, no explosive charges, nothing at all. If you have any other questions please ask them here and I'll answer them as best I can.

Name: Kmart and Coles Callsign: K09S Training Completed By: Cougs I believe List all Pub Slot Inductions you have done: MacClainTrain, Dozer, Vanbar Why do you deserve a promotion? (50 Words min) I believe I deserve the promotion from Senior Constable to Sergeant for a number of reasons. Firstly, I want to be a role model to all the lower ranking officers. I want to be that higher ranking officer who will always help recruits and new-comers. I also want to be able to be able to add people to the wanted list, because I see some officers are ignored when they ask for someone to be added, I want to be that Sergeant who will help those lower ranks by adding people to the wanted list. Another reason why I believe I deserve a promotion is because I am very active. Ive seen many cops who are never on and I believe we need more Sergeants in the APD who are active. Who would recommend you for a promotion? @JJ_ROOOD@Sparrow @Tsunami

Got me there, I had 3 fps

Amazing words mah man, i too believe this server needs a change

Name: Chadd Callsign: K01S Training Completed By: FamerGeorge List all Pub Slot Inductions you have done: Happy Meal , Flower + More Before Why do you deserve a promotion? (50 Words min): I would like to further myself within the APD by becoming an Sergeant , this will give me the power to add people to the wanted list, this will also give me the opportunity to better myself as a Commanding Officer and i will be able to teach lower ranks the things i learnt from all my experience as playing cop. I believe i would suit this role on the APD i have lots to bring to the command side of Cop most of you know my as a troll but when im given responsibility it will show what i am capable of.. Who would recommend you for a promotion?: @FarmerGeorge98 @Big Kev @quit @Tonic @John @Milkdud @Zesty

+1 pls give him sgt,

Not fair IMO that we have to sit there and craft guns and cops can buy them...

Chadd has really proven that he is a good and confident CO and can still help out alot even when he is not a CO. +1

+1 He is Very Good at being CO

Chadd is a dam good CO at banks and GD. I believe that over the last few months he has put the time and effort into the APD for this rank. Plus 1

even tho alot of people dont see him as a sergeant due to his past, i believe chad deserve the go of being a sergeant. He takes CO during Banks and GD when no one else wants to and he does a dam good job at it. Plus 1

You are so lucky I had 7 fps the entire rebel takeover, or I probably would of killed you there. The other guy not so much xd

Thanks for the input on wastelands, Before I make a statement on this, I know I have not been the most active over the last 5 months but I don't a agree if somethings and agree with others... I am also disappointed this isn't 1000 words but instead it is 940 words... but I'll over look this for now ? Jets: "People want to be able to spend 100k on a jet that can get 50-100 kills" no-ones wants to be getting bombed over and over by jets... This idea would cause most players to leave the server... I would leave if i was just getting bombed... Server Performance: "poor server performance" I agree this can always be improved, we have recently started WL server files from the start is old and needs a new frame work something we can't spare as we don't have enough devs to do this.... but fixing up the performance is something we will always work on... Thermals: "3D spotting is also gone, as are thermals" - 3D mapping I dunno whats been changed there so I have no comment but thermals... Thermals are just a shit players option for everything... it offers no skill... this is a double edge blade request...
