Looking to gather some community feedback for AL events. If Senior Staff were to bring back a regular events night for smaller / mini-game style events, what night would you like to see it on?
 

If you have any event suggestions, please fill out this form! The results are sent straight to senior staff and will be reviewed regularly.

Hi All,

With the update being released, please check over the rules as they have been updated to reflect the current changes. A number have been removed, reworded and reorganised so please be careful to understand them! If you have any questions, please post below or see a member of staff!

P.S Sorry for the delay, they were rather fiddly to update!

Feedback regarding Gang Convoys

Over the last month, Senior Staff has received feedback from the community about recent black market convoy missions. This is but not limited to what they are, how they are run each time, how fair they are and how transparent the procedures for running them are. After each convoy mission has been run so far, we have performed a debrief each time with some variables being changed / tested each time. This in addition to observing the tactics used by each gang, police and civilians.

After much discussion, we have made some changes to the way Black Market Convoy Missions and corresponding Cash Convoy Missions will be run as part of the Registered Civilian Guidelines. These are as follows:

• This announcement will contain a link to the registered civilian group guidelines. As part of long term observations and debriefs regarding Registered Groups, it was noted that many are not familiar with these guidelines as well as the benefits associated with being a registered group. As such, a link to these guidelines as well as any other server rules extension guidelines will also be added into the rules post once the update has gone live.
   
• Black Market Convoy Missions and Cash Convoy Missions will be renamed to Black Market Delivery Missions and Cash Delivery Missions. This is to avoid confusion regarding server events as these are considered a server feature for registered gangs. In addition, feedback given to Staff has indicated some confusion when groups use stealthy tactics rather than aggressive tactics during the delivery missions to defend the truck with additional vehicles and weapons. It was also indicated that players / groups look for a large convoy or a truck being protected by armoured vehicles instead of potentially looking for a solo truck or trucks.
   
• The main aim behind these missions is that they are extremely flexible and allow gangs and participating parties to come up with any tactic they can think of that complies with server rules, thus allowing for a vast range of possibilities and counter tactics. This means inevitably there may be some situations where a gang may complete a delivery mission outwitting any opposing parties and likewise, a competing party may track down and eliminate opposition easily. We believe that over time and with experience, new tactics will be thought up by parties on both sides creating new and exciting game play appealing to all parts of the community.
   
• To focus on ensuring each delivery mission is run to the same standard and is fair, we have included the announcement templates in the registered civilian group guidelines. As part of these changes, a rough location (for example South East of Altis) will be announced once the convoy starts. This will allow any interested party with a slightly narrower search field to start with which was a common complaint as well as eliminate false encounters and potential deaths of unrelated parties.
