I miss Altis Life Stats.... seeing who the richest **** on the server is.... seeing who has a bounty and thus how cool they are... seeing if farmer george was still the most killed player on the server... Bring back Altis Life Stats....

Hello everybody, as you have probably been made aware by the title, I am going to take the time today to give my input into what I believe the server needs in order to draw back old players and gain new ones. The information I am going to produce in this 'letter' (if you will) has been sourced from my own in game experiences as well as recent discord discussions involving current and active players as well as management and development staff. The first issue that I feel I should comment on is the recent comparison between Olympus and Straya, specifically the guns portion of it. One thing people need to understand is that straya is.. or at least WAS a unique altis life server. It had it's own set of rules and regulations that differed it from the likes of Olympus and even direct competitors like darkside. Straya was straya because it gave players the opportunity to use bigger and better weaponry but at the same time made said weaponry relatively hard to obtain. Anybody who says that it's not fun to use a navid and spray people down like Johnny Sins standing in front of Madison Ivy is lying. Obviously being obliterated by a 9.3mm LMG is not fun, but it gives dedicated players the incentive to put in effort and grind to obtain the same weaponry so that they aren't humiliated again. Also, it's unfortunate but Straya just isn't capable of competing with Olympus.. period. The US servers have so many more players which makes it nearly impossible to get similar numbers. That's why instead of trying to copy Olympus' style, straya should try to become unique again by adding those weapons back in. The second issue I would like to touch on is the fact that legal runs (rather than illegal runs) are now more profitable for both rebels and civilians. Yes, gems do give players a reason to get on and grind for many hours and yes that does increase population. But it's ****ing boring. Nobody actually wants to sit there for hours clicking windows key to get a bit of fake currency just to go to the same old fight at capture points. Nobody. Instead, people want diversity. There is always going to be a meta, and people will quickly learn what that meta is and start to follow it. However, the current meta needs to change and I will tell you why. Fun. That's the reason. People want to have fun, and I hate to break it to you but not many people are having fun at the moment. Having gang fights at illegal dealer was fun. Yes, uranium was the most overused run for REBELS because rebels were the only people who could afford the risk of doing a uranium run. That's how it should be. Civilians should not be able to make as much money as rebels, plain and simple. Just like in the real world Jimmy from down the street isn't making as much money as Pablo Escobar, but at the same time Jimmy isn't risking death or arrest. This idea may be referred to as being 'unfair' or 'biased' against civs but it's important to understand the definition of civilian in regards to Altis Life. Civs are those people who don't wish to part take in gang or rebel activities but at the same time don't wish to be apart of the EMS or APD. Why on earth does somebody who fits that description need more money than a rebel who needs to purchase equipment and gear as a means of survival. Think about it. Next, I want to talk about the economy. As I tried to explain in that last paragraph, uranium and drug runs should be a rebel or cartel members highest source of income. It should be the activity that dedicated and active players attempt to complete in order to attain large amounts of money. The only issue with this is the exact amount of money that can be made from each run. I am not sure exactly how the economy stands at the moment because I am just coming back from a much needed 'vacation' but I will say that Uranium in it's prime was way too easy. I don't have stats but it was the only run that people were doing because it was the best run BY FAR. I personally believe that Uranium should be the best and most profitable run, but it should also be the highest risk run. A high risk, high reward system is essential in creating a balanced economy. Uranium should be the highest risk but also the highest reward, followed by drug runs and then obviously gem runs for civilians. Besides pricing, nothing needs to change. Uranium can be sold at illegal dealer which is a KOS zone and therefore numbers and firepower is needed to secure each run, drugs must be processed and then sold which can be camped at all times by anybody and then gem runs will be the same as drug runs but obviously it will be less likely that somebody is camping those because most if not all rebels (ie the people who would usually camp) will be camping the higher profit runs like illegal and drug dealer. Maybe discuss prices with the community team, as far as I'm aware the community team has a good understanding of the server and can assist in getting prices right. Those are the main issues I see at the moment. The content is there, capture points ARE fun fights but all we need is a bit of diversity. Illegal dealer can bring that diversity. If you don't agree with what I am saying please comment and let me know, if you do then please like this post and hopefully management will see it. Thanks for reading and have a great day.

Pre wipe days were the best, there was always something happening. I remember there always being 70+ civs on when I came on, and the way the server is now with pop is really sad to see. There were always fights going on, people actually had something other than a mk1 back then, you had people with zafs, navids, asps, lynxs, mk1s and others. The economy wipe created a meta where it was just mk1 vs mk1, and that made combat get stale really quickly. I see their slowly making gang bases better with adding mk200s, I remember the gang base I had whitelisting to in pre wipe had zafs, mk200s, asps and more and it was heaps good, but for too long the new gang bases were basically just another rebel outpost and they weren't really worth paying and fighting for. Making gang bases what they were would be a step in the right direction imo, cause then rebels will actually want to own a GB and then will enjoy combat more because they will have easier access to these bigger guns without having to spend hours crafting or going to KOS store. Old uranium would be good to have back as well, I heard that it was OP but it was high risk high reward and it brought players in and there was more combat. Changing that back to the way it was would also be a step in the right direction, as rebel gear is not cheap and having a high risk high reward way to make tons of cash while having combat is a good aspect that the server had and that should come back. I don't know how people feel about the new capture point and how its a KOS shop, but personally I think it was better up at the top left hand corner of the map, because with uranium and its high reward, players could then take that cash to another place on the map and buy better weaponry, it would just be another area for combat to occur, but that's just my imo on it. These are things I think should be changed and obviously theres more but these are my main points, but zeds got the right idea about how straya should be its own server and ect, straya was great the way it was pre wipe , and it should add back everything that we lost with that economy wipe.

Sergeant Expression of Interest Note: By placing this expression of interest you are not entitled to the rank Sergeant and it can be denied as well as issued a non-apply period of no less than 1 week. Do not bother anyone about your EOI, if you do it will be denied. Name: Kmart Callsign: [K13W] Assignment: Special Response Team Training Completed By: @Uncle Toby List all Recruit Inductions you have done: Harry Wasabi, Shannon, Peter File, Reitze Why do you deserve a promotion? (50 Words min) I believe I deserve a promotion to Sergeant due to a number of reasons. Firstly, I have show great commitment and dedication to the APD over the past year, being a GD Senior Sergeant, then transferring over to SRT. I have done everything I could do to help advance the APD, whether it was commanding GD or helping out on the combat side of things, such as at banks and operations. Secondly, I know how to properly command units in both GD and at banks and other major robberies, I have gone through the process of getting to Sergeant several times now and I know what it takes and I have always been willing to put in the time and effort it takes to achieve my goal. Thirdly, I am a very approachable person and I am always willing to answer any questions other officers may have, if I know the answer of course. I have done quite a lot of inductions over my time as being a Police Officer, as well as other trainings, and I am used to being asked questions and responding to them. I do not get frustrated if a recruit doesn't understand something and I am very patient to deal with an officer who isn't sure of something. Lastly, if I were to be promoted to Sergeant, I would be able to be in a higher position of command, meaning I can then take CO at banks and other robberies when needed. Who would recommend you for a promotion? Anyone who would like to leave a like

Name: Shrimpy Rank: Intensive care Paramedic Badge Number: 468 Reason For Being Disciplined? Harassment towards Command, Harassment towards other members of the APS, and something else I'd prefer not to make public. Why should the discipline be reduced / removed, given what you did? I believe it should be reduced because I have learnt from my actions and believe that harassing people over concerns/problems that I have is not the correct way to go about things. I made a severe lack of judgement and did not think about what I was doing at the time which led me to say things that I in honesty did not completely mean. I was in a bad head space and was influenced by negative people around me. What can you bring to the APS? I believe I can bring what I used to bring to the APS. A positive caring and all around relatively friendly yet protocol guided nature that I used to have as a member of the APS. I was experienced and highly knowledgeable of the APS protocols and feel like I can help share that and educate newer medics as this was my entire reason to join the APS in the first place. I know I won't have the same level of respect nor trust that I used to I just hope you all can understand I know I shouldn't have said the things I did and that it wont happen again. I've learnt and next time if I have a problem with somebody instead of making a negative face of the APS I will keep it private and either take it to the person whom I have the problem with or keep it to myself as I know there is no place for negativity nor toxicity in the APS or this world.

**** I love you ****

I posted as a joke but I am sorry if I offended you. Even though I don't play Straya Gaming Altis Life I know what you are talking about and Staff Members have said that they are working on it and if you want to rather than making long paragraphers (not to be a dick) perhaps gathering information from everyone and sending it to the corresponding QA team or perhaps a good idea is making a list of the information you have gathered and make a forum post and do it every 2 weeks or. This is my opinion you are happy to ignore it or use what I have said and take it into consideration. If you want help with the list contact Scorpion.

No, not really?

maybe if people stopped massrdming and getting themselves banned ffs smfh

We can only do so much to change the meta though, there is a certain onus on the players to not do the things that are boring, and to find new, fun, and entertaining ways to play the game. Almost all meta altering changes are met by autistic screeching... I lowered gem proficiencies a while ago and all the rebel gangs lost their shit because they couldn't make max cash in a few hours anymore.

**** your mad

** DECLINED ** @Shrimpy Senior Command has discussed your appeal and due to the serious nature of your blacklist, we are declining your appeal at the current time due to sentence not served You may re-appeal after 1 Month

Or you guys should play some I&A and hop onto a Zeus event server on Friday, people from all servers can join!

Then do something different, this is a roleplaying game. We can only do so much to spice things up, the rest is up to you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role-playing_game You can't do the same thing over and over again expecting everyone to enjoy it forever
