StrayaGaming Altis Life - Shaping the Path Forward Hi all, As you are undoubtedly aware, our Altis Life server has just undergone a full economy wipe. With the wipe, a variety of changes were applied to help balance all factions, and to reduce the daily occurring chaos in Kavala (Sydney). You can read more about the wipe in the changelog here. Altis Life is perhaps the most successful StrayaGaming server, and as such we owe it to the players to ensure that their voices are heard on the direction we take the server moving into the future. We acknowledge in the past that people have felt like they were unable to have a direct say in the direction of the server, so through this new initiative we hope we can correct this and allow everyone to feel like their voices are heard and they're able to contribute in a positive way. The Polls To ensure that the changes being made and features being added align with player interests, a series of polls every fortnight will be held on the forums to determine what features are being added, removed or changed. The poll content will be determined by the staff team, based on commonly received feedback and suggested changes covering all areas of AL gameplay. How can I get involved? Getting involved is quite simple, all you need to do is make your voice heard! Talk to those whom you play with, and share your thoughts on the forums, discord or with a staff member. If a staff member hears a good idea they will propose it for addition to the poll. What will be in the polls? At the end of every fortnight in the lead up to the each poll staff will culminate the best ideas they've heard over the previous 2 weeks for use on that fortnight's poll. The questions on each poll could be on everything from the location of a bank, to what guns are included at the gun store! They will be entirely based off of the suggestions put forward by the players. Do I have to vote, and are they anonymous? You are not required to vote, however if you wish to have your say counted in the direction of the server we suggest you do! All polls are anonymous, so feel free to vote honestly. Are previous forum suggestions being taken into account? Yes. Any good suggestions we have already noticed from the past will be taken into account. If you're unsure if your previous suggestion was taken into account and feel it is still necessary then feel free to make the suggestion again on the forums or talk to a staff member. How long will this be running? In the beginning we will be trialing this idea to gauge how it works and the contribution it makes to the server. If all goes well we hope to continue with the polls indefinitely. I have more questions. Who can I talk to? Altis Life Staff would be more than happy to answer your questions.

Hi All, Here is a sneak peek at our next content update and some notes for our next balance patch. Content Update Sneak Peek: We will be re-enabling the KOS Store, it will not include any tier 5 weapons as we have other plans for how rebels will obtain those weapons. The store will open at a random time for 30 minutes after x number of civilians are online. The Store will alert all civilians that it will be opening 30 minutes prior, this will allow the rebels to gear up and head over to the store. We are also looking to implement a lockup and kill script for the Federal Reserve dome. Currently the federal reserve takes way too long and there is always a chance that it won't get locked up by the police. This usually results in rebels abusing this and moving the gold after they killed all of the officers. The lockup would lock the federal reserve and kill all players still within the dome. Currently we are undecided on how long the vault and dome should remain open for, we will keep an eye on upcoming federal reserve robberies to ensure that we are able to give the rebels enough of an advantage to get the gold out. This is our new dispatching system from a civilians perspective. This is from the perspective of the police, the EMS and Support dispatch systems are similar. Balance patch changes: I will list the specifics when the patch is ready to be released The Treasure Wreck has been rebalanced to give more gold bars and less gems but overall less of a reward, it now averages out at around 3000000 worth of items. The chances of getting a gold nugget or an uncut gem from mining has been increased. It is still 3% lower than originally, the previous nerf was seen as a bit too severe. The Price of cut gems and gold nuggets has been modified, resulting in an overall buff The basic paycheck for police and medic has been increased to assist newer players Moderators will be able to spawn in keys for vehicles Edi: High Tier weapons table. Tier 4 ASP - 1 Kir 12.7 mm MX SW 6.5 mm MAR-10 .338 Cyrus 9.3 mm LIM-85 5.56 mm Mk200 6.5 Tier 5 Navid 9.3 mm SPMG .338 GM6 Lynx 12.7 mm M320 LRR .408 Zafir 7.62 mm

StrayaGaming Staff Application Changes Hey everyone, Hoping to make the process as smooth as possible, there has been an update to the way staff applications will be managed here on our forums. Gone are the days of manually copying a template over into a new post, as our new system will make use of a format similar to that of our current support system. Now you'll simply be able to fill in a simple easy to use form to put your application in! To the many applicants waiting on the status of your submissions, we highly recommend re-applying through the new system as applications will not be carried over. Additionally, you may notice various tweaks to the content of our applications, which should assist management in keeping the staff team great ?. For those interested in applying for the Community Team, the previously three applications have been merged into one, with those interested in branching off into either graphics or video production now required to submit any accompanying media directly to a Community Team Leader. For those re-applying, plenty of the questions on the application should feel familiar, and as always, if anyone does have any questions or issues regarding either the new application process or the applications themselves, please feel free to contact a staff member. You can find the new application forms here Or by clicking on the above link in the top menu Below is a diagram of Application System page;

Yes, I don't have a life.

When I leave a vehicle such as my Huron inside the safe zone by itself it will despawn after sometime due to it not being interacted with. When it despawns it does not go into the garage but just disappears. I have lost 2 Hurons now due to this (that's $1,600,000 worth). Other people have also had this issue and it makes me want to leave the server as well as a lot of other people I have talked to.

Kidneys now with the new update is a waste of time, it cost to much money to have the items to harvest kidneys and then to sell it for shit all ($20000). Also the shady doctor is in the middle no where and not near the main citys so you have to trek it out there. Overall what do you think should happen.

- Will have to wait and see about the level 5 weapons removed from KoS, Hopefully not a tedious system added like crafting, GangBases are currently unknown but again hopefully doesnt set this massive gap between top and mid tier gangs like we seen pre wipe., No bad input here until we actually see it. - Gem buff is nice. It was always a really big grind. Just safer than drugs. - FED kill/lock script is iffy. 15 people*500 bars with a max of 9 per person takes a LONG LONG time to move 20km across the map that in a KoS zone and gets metagamed/camped as soon as another rebel gang knows fed is done ( even a close house with storage is limited ) . The main reason rebel kill cops before moving the bar is because its hard to recover the dome once lost from the inside and it gets straight locked up police don't VLR they just go for the lockup. The time it takes to move 500 bars even with 15 people across the map is insane. I cant stress how much This feature really needs to be tested thoroughly before been added. Bar that, @Red Well done with the wipe. So far so good. You guys actually talking to the community is a big step in the right directions. Well done staff team.

@Anthonyat1080p if you have a suggestion regarding a certain feature that was apart of the old server that you would like to see added, by all means let us know here. We need substance to act on, not posts intended to be malicious or inflammatory!

Thats not a bug... thats you standing on a steep slope.

You're thinking small time organ trafficing, you need to think bigger and better. Lets have a look at the prices of things here. Knife - $5000 Zip Ties - $7500 So it costs $12500 to get the materials for harvesting a kidney, and your return is $7500 for the first kidney and $12500 for every kidney after (you need a zip tie per person). If you set up a trap on a frequented road you could get maybe 5 kidneys in 30 minutes, that's almost $60k. I'm not sure if that's a fair amount given the risks and i'll need to look into it more, how much do you think it should be making you every hour?

Left heli inside Sydney market safezone. Can't steal it from there because of server restriction. 2 Hours later it is not at sydney market, or in my garage. Completely disappeared. Other people have had this issue.

Did a fed less than a month ago, we made it out with the gold and even made it to the gold bars seller with the police chasing us.

How was your experience with fed? Cause i guarantee if you did fed around last month you wouldn't even think of trying to drive out of fed with a HEMTT full of gold or even tryna store it.

Cops would probably just end up waiting for rebels to leave instead of pushing

You can load the gold, sit in fed and kill the cops, no?

Let's just drive out of fed with gold in a HEMMIT whilst 20+ cops online seems smart?????????????????????

@webbieBro great mission last night, Really enjoyed it. Hope to see more in the future.

As it can be observed, Tanoa server is not pretty much alive even though we had Tanoa Tuesdays specially now that it somehow no longer exist. I said that it is quite dead because there are few to none that are still playing in it. If there are some that still plays in it, would it be better if you make it more like a black ops operation and not an all-out-war kind of thing? That is of course to balance the difficulty of low population vs. the amount and difficulty of AI's The enemies would be: Either Syndikat or FIA (we are fighting terrorists here) Don't have main battle tanks, IFV's, AAA, MRAP's, CAS (since they are not soldiers) They can only have technicals and APC (preferably Gorgon with a guerilla skin) Camps should be made smaller since they are insurgents. If the environment of the AO is an urban area, maybe put more people inside structures. So here are my ideas for what kind of missions: Hostage Rescue - similar to the arrest the HVT missions but the goal is to rescue. Assassination - an area or a camp occupied by at least 10 squads(max of 20 squads) where you only have to kill/arrest the HVT to accomplish the mission. So the goal if other hostile infantry is just to patrol the surrounding area and you have to either fight your way in or you go sneaky. Destroying Weapon Caches - similar to destroying radio towers. Retrieving Intel - similar to acquiring data link. Player slot changes: Open slots could be reduced to 4 squads. No more tanks and IFV's (because it would be too easy). APC's could also be removed if the game seems easy. Heli pilot slots could be reduced but not entirely necessary.

No breaks while you're on the clock!!

As mentioned earlier in the year by @Red in his community update post, we are introducing a narrative to Altis Life with the coming economy wipe. We have come to the decision to use the narrative written by @James32. The narrative will be the backbone of the Altis Life server, and has been a major factor in the rework of the AL Map. This narrative is not strict and players may choose not to use it when they play. This will also allow us to make changes to the meta and server as we move forward into the future. The narrative is as follows: Emergency Broadcast from the Altis Minister of Police Reads: Over the last 3 months Rebel activity in and around Sydney has been gradually increasing, However in the past few days the city has come under a new wave of rebellious activity culminating in the invasion of the city and acts of full scale terrorism. The Altis government has been forced into exile, the prime minister fled Sydney escorted by a full contingent of APD officers. A new emergency command and control headquarters of the APD has been established in Brisbane to allow the re-establishment of civil control until such time as they are prepare to attempt to retake Sydney and surrounding areas. All civilians have been evacuated from Sydney to protect their lives.However Sydney, the financial and cultural hub of Altis has been infested by rebels and has descended into anarchy. The Altis central Bank’s data centers and house registries were destroyed in an act of terrorism against the state, leading to the complete irrecoverable loss of all financial data from all citizens of Altis. However our economy will recover if we band together and make Altis a better place. Rest assured I promise you that the APD will not rest until these rebel scum are brought to justice for their crimes and made to pay for all of the lives lost in their barbaric takeover of sydney. ….END BROADCAST

I feel that its important for the community to be able to give their opinion on topics freely without it being taken down by a singular staff member who disagrees. This is a fundamental imposition on freedom of speech that is toxic to the server. Rebels, similar to cops and medics should be able give their opinion regardless of the fact that they are rebels. Instead of taking down a post allow for discussion to take place where both sides can be told and a resolution can come. This community has so much potential however to see the censorship that is taking place continue with only drive the server into the ground. Recently people calling staff out for this have had their posts removed, this is an important topic that needs to be addressed. The server needs to adapt to the demands of its community for it to succeed, not ignore their opinions and prevent discourse from taking place. This is a totalitarian rule from staff that is simply uncalled for.

I'm not sure how long this will last but the new update sounds kinda lit and I would like to play. I was a medic.

THere should be a poll to see if the server should be reverted back to its former state?

Truely a blast through not only your past but mine as well. Thank you for this awesome video Jeb, glad to see you have a literal archive of StrayaLife.
