    Thats where I believe you are wrong if you simply look at steam charts the player base has been steady and even growing, maybe the issue is more altis life than arma 3

    Artificially inflated by the launch of a new DLC, it'll fizzle out after a few weeks.

    I agree with most of the things said by metallic and scion. But we do need some things to be implemented asap as this is probably their only chance to revive the server again. Along with saying that they have to be running events and adding weekly or monthly updates to keep people coming back and playing. Along with rewards for doing certain things. But some new jobs and/or a bounty hunter would be great. They could add like shop keepers in meaning you have to roleplay of owning a store ect.

    As much as we want to see the server come back to life like it was during lockdown and even before (2018/19), the overarching issue is that Arma 3 itself is a dying game with dwindling player numbers each month. FiveM is ideally the modern alternate which we have announced as a project in the works, but it'll take time. One issue that we face is having a constant and reliable developer who can work with the framework of the server, as well as delivering content; which there are few of around now. Fraz and James have been working towards a new update but it's hard to make weekly/fortnightly content updates when there are bigger and more important things in life to focus on. 

    Most players have moved onto other games but we hope that the next update and as the post in the discord announced- "working towards a sustainable development environment", will be sufficient to at least kickstart some life back into AL. It's a waiting game really, just enjoy the ride for however long it last.

  4. Name (Found in the roster Database): FedoraTheExplora

    Rank: n..a.

    Badge Number (If applicable): 

    Player ID (SteamID64): 76561198062902931

    TeamSpeak UID: TVrGGcNELgeou7VAjILaIcmaD8Y= 

    Reason for being disciplined? (If unknown, ask a Command Member): Trolling / Harrasment

    Why did you do what you did?:  I have been told that this blacklist was in relation to harrasment of a medic which occured in early 2020. I believe that I did what I did because of an on-going spat that some civs had with medics over some issues and activities, and I took it too far. 

    Why should the discipline be reduced / removed, given what you did? (Min 75 words): Since then I have come a long way in terms of my maturity and behaviour both towards the server and specific individuals whom I may have targeted in the past. My behaviour then is not a reflection of who I am now and looking back upon it I feel like a complete idiot for doing what I did, and being given the opportunity to play on medic again would be a sign of trust and I would uphold such an opportunity to the highest degree. 

    What can you bring to the APS? (Min 100 words): Having come from a cop background, and having little to no medic experience- I can bring along a different perspective to certain matters which the medic force faces every day on the server, as well as bringing a mature and helpful attitude to the APS. I can also bring an experienced background in roleplay and particular the aviation side of Arma 3, which I believe would come in handy if I am given the opportunity to fly within the APS, and regarding roleplay; another way of participating in RP with civs and/or cops on the server. It'd be a nice change to be able to participate in some of these activities and see it from the eyes of a new faction. 


  5. Good idea, however the niche of it would hardly be fufilled due to the nature of operations by divisions. Generally parachuting into operations is a lot more risky than driving in a hunter or flying in a helicopter. The caesar can only land on larger airstrips or lots of land with no objects, where as a helicopter can fufill the same role whilst being able to land in a much smaller area. 

    If the meta was different for combat this idea might work.

    Will tomorrow night, but might need to seperate it from a bunch of other stuff which I’d mention soon 😁

    Anything you want considered to be in the next update, chuck it to me and I'll work towards including it around everything else.

    Would it be possible to implement the vanilla DLC's to the server?

    Particularly the weapons from the Marksman and Tanks expansions. Would be nice to open up the depth of in game weapons whilst maintaining the realism.

    All DLC weapons bar the Creator DLCs are in the server, you should be able to find em in the arsenal. Creator DLCs can't be added due to them being treated like a mod rather than a DLC- hence why no Arma 3 service has any guns or assets from Global Mobilization.

    Can't deny that Straya is slowly dying, seems like Arma in general is dying. A Straya FiveM server would do this community good

    You'll have to find committed developers and its a hard game to break into- especially for a new server. If it goes well it'll make bank but if it flops like it did the last time, just another waste of time.

    talking about siezing things half the cops dont arrest rebels cause they never taze caus eits at banks and if they do get rebels cop stinges mk1s and puts it in there lockers not sieze them just make the server not dead

    Or because rebels have a cry when they get tazed- and it's in protocols to prioritize lethals at banks/major robberies. Plus it's no different for rebels when they kill cops to take the weapons and store them (yes, cops have more numbers). Plus tazing rebels at banks is considered toxic, so you hardly see people doing it. There should be more locker checks but items like mk1s are a common tool, so idk why you'd be complaining about taking them? I'd understand a zaf, mk200 or something along those lines but mk1, bit weird.

    Yessir, conquests, conflicts, or whatever you want to call it. It does well for a lot of servers and brings in big gangs mostly every time. Instead of just a fight on OG or anywhere on the map, you have everyone fighting for a prize every couple days or every day depends on how you set it up at a location you vote either in-game or the forums a day or 12 hours before the fight.

    • Costs of kits, cars, helis that are brought a rebel during the time of the conquest, conflict etc go into the pot
    • Every kill you get an extra bit of money as you go

    Obviously I don't know everything about this (all the ins and outs) but I feel if this is executed correctly it could be really good for the server along with all the bug fixes the AL staff team are working on atm along with the community feedback, civ changes we are looking at etc

    This would be a top notch addition into the gang system for AL, along with other things but this would certainly attract people back to the server/gang life.

    gangs or server dies im sorry but true

    Gang's need an actual reason to play on the server, because at the moment it seems as if the only benefit is being able to not get clapped by cops at major robberies- and contesting gang bases. There needs to be a lot more reasons for gangs to stick around:

    • Drug runs need to be revamped again to make them more attractive (generating more profit)
    • Other forms of missions need to be added besides drug shipment and airdrop (perhaps some missions that reward money, clothes, vests, scopes, tokens ect)
    • Dedicated gang bases that are purchasable and can be upgraded to include better storage, vehicle spawns, drug processing areas, ect. 
      • Cops should be able to conduct raids on the bases but some form of notification system should be added so that the gang has a chance to respond and fight the cops
        • Or other gangs too? 
    • An evidence locker should be added onto the server as another major robbery, so in the event that gang members are arrested, gear is seized and sent to jail- they have the ability to later get that gear back as well as more items. 
    • Gangs get to participate in bi-weekly/monthly competitions that have the change to obtain rare and valuable gear (or vehicles).

    Like Rise said, gangs or server dies. Gangs used to form a large chunk of the dedicated AL player base and it's a shame to see that slowly transfer to a majority of police (nothing wrong with dedicated police, just the lack of rebels and the recent ratios is a pain to see). 

    This is a big issue so it should be taken seriously and into heavy consideration.
