  2. Hey Guys, Myself and the Altis Life Administration team have taken in feedback from the last few community meetings and general discussion with players and other staff members. With this feedback we have made a short trial for allowing rebel gear into Sydney Limits with restriction. This trial will run through the period of this week for evaluation by staff and the community. Starting 3PM restart today (October 30th) and running through to Monday the 6th of November. It will be discussed at tonight's community meeting @ 6:30PM AEDT. Any questions may be posted there. Please keep your eyes on the forums for any updates to this rule trial, as it may be terminated or modified during the period of the week due to how it turns out. Any changes will be posted as a reply to this topic. The rules are as follows: 2.9 - TRIAL - Rebel gear is permitted in city limits with restriction 2.9.1 - Only Small arms (Up to 7.62mm rifles) are allowed. 2.9.2 - Lightly armoured vehicles (No strider or Ifrit) 2.9.3 - The only exception to this is Rebel Takeovers 2.9.4 - You must have a valid RP reason to use it (Going in to kill cops is not a valid RP reason) 2.9.5 - Level 4 and 5 Apparel cannot be used inside city limits. 2.9.6 - There must be 6 or more cops online

    Hey mate, If your wanting to get a Private TS channel set up, You just need to join the General Assistance channel in HD and wait for someone to give you a hand. Any Administrator for SG can create them, so they'll get you hooked up with someone.

    We understand. Next AL build should feature random artillery strikes, large gunfights with AI, tanks and Titan AT?

    Hey Mate, Promotions in relation to what exactly? The process will differ heavily based on the area you are questioning about.
  8. Lotza

    Well... Sounds like I need to be updating my RHS and CUP soon. She still going to be running tonight? My updates around 6GB so around 2 hours of downloading on my potato.

    @d0nk I've had a chat to the EMS command team about this issue. It's been said to them that they need to start cracking down on EMS officers who fail to listen to the other parties, whether they decide not to leave or revive anyway. I will allow them the chance to try and fix this issue within the confines of procedure and their punishment system. If after a period of time this does not have any results. A modification to the rules allowing the killing of EMS in this situation will be made.

    So this topic seems to have a significantly large amount of attention and seems to be a center for discussion right now. My two cents on the issue. There is no reason for us to stop players being in a gang because they are a cop. Why is this the case, simply by stopping players being members of both factions severely limits the replay ability and restricts content to the players. To address a balancing concern of this, there is always meant to be a bit of a imbalance slightly in favor of the APD, they are government funded, rebels are self-funded and gear from the blackmarket. In terms of gear, cops have the clear advantage, the rest is down to how you play it out. Playing both factions is a two-sided coin, you get information on both parties which you use against the other when your playing it, there is no one-sided way to look at it.

    12.7.5 News Broadcast intentions to the Altis Life Public which must include (City with a reason for the Takeover) When this is broadcasted it will mark the beginning of the takeover.

    Farewell mate, We've had some ups and downs with SG in the time you've been here. Watched you move from green tick to SG Lead, soaring way above me. Sad to see you go, but all good things must come to an end. Best of luck with the future.
  16. Lotza

    The removing of rule 7.3 is accompanied with the 7.4 being taken off being a trial rule and formalized as the complete rule. EDIT: I have just added 7.4 into here as 7.3 to prevent any misunderstanding with the rules.
  17. Hey Guys, Addressing the Altis Life Community meeting we have been running on a weekly basis. As of next Monday 11/9/17, we will be running the community meeting on a fortnightly basis. The meeting will take place at 6:30PM AEST, 30 minutes after the restart and will be lead by a Server Adminstrator or next appropriate staff member What will we be discussing at this meeting. The community meeting will work similar to how it has in the past. Start with the regular formalities from which we will then go on to discuss what has happened with the suggested changes up to that point, From there we will move on to suggestions from each individual person, moving down the list as ordered by TeamSpeak. Each person will have a chance to speak and their idea will be discussed as a group. After discussions and suggestions have concluded, any additional notes by staff will be added and the meeting concluded. I'm sure you are also all wondering what is happening with the changes that have already been suggested. A number of these have already been approved and the changes have been made into the game files, awaiting the launch of the DLC, at which point we will also launch the updated version the Altis Life Mission File.

    I would assume that's uhh classified due to their nature of work. Undercover work can be dangerous at times. Don't wanna give away their secrets.
  19. Lotza

    I'll see if I can find my old EMS screenshots. Back in the days of PubSlot EMS Lotza.
  20. The minutes are recorded as notes by administrators, which we then discuss at a later time. If it is a wish that there are notes about the community meeting published publicly, its something we can arrange from the next meeting onward @Subnoize
  21. Lotza

    Don't break rules! The hammer is waiting. Love you bby and welcome back.
  22. I was 5 days late for it Spent all my time on IA in that day and age, I only learned SG had a forum when I started to play AL and EMS and they told me to register on the forums and put an app there.
  23. Lotza

    I know when I jump on IA and decide to play as a sniper, the M320 or the Lynx are my first port of call. I do often consider sticking an SMG or something small in my backpack in the case I get flanked and need to move into CQB, but I often have a sidearm or an exfil plan anyway. At the end of the day, your role is that of a sniper, you take a high powered rifle, sit a couple kilometres out and pick off the key targets, your not there to shoot every single rifleman you see on the field. You take a Lynx 12.7mm with APDS rounds, your kitting yourself to take on light vehicles and HVT's, you take a .408, your out there for the kills on the specialists in squads or the officers. I do agree there is no reason for a rifleman to be carrying around a .338, they should be carrying a 5.56mm or 6.5mm rifle with standard attachments, the machinegunners holding the LMG or MMG and the marksmen carrying a 7.62mm, 9.3mm or .338mm DMR or ABR. At the end of the day, its a public server, not a realism unit. We're here to all have fun, not simulate the military, if someone feels like they'll have more fun running an SPMG with a nightstalker etc and sitting a kilometre out, so be it.
  24. What do we want to have purchasable at the civilian contractor bases? Are there any other things we want added to it? Where would you want the base(s) to be?
  25. Its possible to re-purpose the gang bases for the use of the civilian contractors? Would probably receive a bit of backlash and locations wouldn't be suitable for use of the civilian contractors though, thats just my opinion on that though. Not sure about how and where we would put a civilian contractor base though, would need to be near enough to Sydney its accessible for them, what items would be put into a store there for them? All things to be discussed further.
