When does this happen?

where to come if you are a grammar nazi. here. you come here.

Thats the worst defense I've ever read.

Yo this is a Roleplay server, Why does SRT get 3 lives, makes 0 sense, yall already get armed boats and helicopters, HMG among other shit, If you have problems even after all these advantages, why not recruit more into SRT, and when SRT is called, its not even just SRT getting 3 lives, its every cop, imagine 20 cops on, SRT is called, in order for rebels to stand a chance they need to kill 60 cops.

Before i get into the main topic of the post, i'd like to explain the Island of Altis. Altis is at civil War, Its the Rebels vs Police, It is a war-torn island that is constantly facing rebel attacks, robberies, kidnappings, Drugs problems, and murder. SERT is constantly called in Sydney, and Banks are constantly going off. Now we know Altis's situation lets have a look at Neri and Westpack. Westpack, Is a bank in the middle of the most crime-ridden city of the island, Sydney, Yet the bank itself has no protection, has no security, has literally nothing. A civilian with a Rook 9mm can rob the place(probably not gonna live for the following reasons) Someone robbing Westpack can be rushed my police and never get a chance to protect himself, Why? Because the bank has no security, has nothing to hide behind, the only thing he can go behind is the desk hes robbing, which can be shot through by the cops MXM's, this bank and Neri's ' bank ' are not banks at all, they are robbable desks that are called banks on the map. Now you'd THINK a place like altis, where people are getting mugged and shot just down the street from Westpack BANK would have some sort of vault, armoured room, some sort of SECURITY. Not just a Wall bangable desk. Neri can also be wall banged. The fact is now the Federal Reserve has more security than Neri and Westpack, yet the Fed is more likely to pay out SO MUCH MORE, we had a group of 7 in NTR get a 5 million EACH after completing a Fed, Why? ITs got places to place protection, places we can set up to defend, places you can't just get shot thru, and thats that. The banks are terribly broken, earlier I did a test, and another one I recorded, Every time I am rushed by cops that just shoot the table and hope to kill someone, which they did. Bank over, now people have to wait 1 hour to hit it again. Thoughts? Its as easy as the GIF i posted to stop a bank.

read what i said. Clearly meant major updates fixing the optimization of the game, rather than new content.

it came out in dec 2013, so pretty much just over 3 years.

Arma 3 has been out for close to 4 years, yet this is the only major update they have done within that 3 - 4 years, i think this should have been a main focus when it was first clear the game was poorly optimized, yet they decided to release go-karts DLC instead of focusing on what makes the game playable for some. Anyways its good they are doing the finishing touches on the 64bit update, hopefully it comes out this year.

True, but its still in the works and hasn't been released to the full game.

Your settings are fairly basic and seem to be normal settings, i have almost the same set up as you and i cant run the settings you have at all, when playing altis life i have everything fairly low expect view distance and things that affect the game dramatically, Yet i still get really bad stuttering, and a contant times where the frames go from solid 60 to stuttering from 0 - 20 without even moving a inch or anything happening in the view, then randomly the frames go back to 60. Arma 3 is so bad when it comes to optimisation, really surprised they haven't made major jumps to fix it. I also get issues when i shoot or zoom in, i get freezing and frame drops for the first couple shots. When i spawn into Altis Life i get 20 frames for about 5 minutes before getting kicked from the server, this normally happens 2 or 3 times before i spawn in and get 60 frames and i dont get kicked, its annoying. Of course going into any city/town big or small i get frame drops and lag, meaning fighting inside a city puts me into a very handy capped situation where i can only shoot from a distance at slow/still targets, Neri and Westpac are almost impossible to complete without my game freezing or stuttering at 0 - 20 frames for at least 5 minutes. I recommend changing a lot from that list: GENERAL: Sampling 100% Cloud Minimal/Off (Useless and it gives you a little bit of frame boost (1 or 2) PIP lowest or standard Shadows is really up to you, if you care about performance over looks go for 100 or lower, to me shadows have little impact when it comes to a normal shootout. Dynamic Lights, Again same as Shadows, the lower the better framerate wise. Water reflection, its really the same as the 2 above, looks nice but doesn't help frames, and helps nothing when it comes to fighting. DISPLAY: Vsync doesn't hurt, not a big issue tho. AA & PP: Bloom off, affects too much and only makes the game look good yet gets annoying as hell after a while, and doesn't help the frames AT ALL. Radial Blur, again off, doesn't help when it comes to, anything. Rotational Blur, same as above, annoying and helps nothing. the Antialising i dont know enough about to make a educated choice so find that out from someone else. A lot of what i said is for performance on a low grade PC (960's or lower) that runs the game like crap.

Did 2 yesterday and all i saw where hunters and striders @Specialist

Not so easy when all the cops do is drive around in hunters and when they want they just run up the stairs and wall bang the teller.

You are making assumptions @Seal nobody suggested Military towers and sand bags.. Also you say we (the robbers) should think outside the box, yet you cant go more than 2 meters from the teller or it is called off, meaning you can only go behind the box which is no protection what so ever. Real world banks would have more protection than a desk and im sure we can agree it should be harder for robbers to rob it if anything should happen to the bank when it comes to security, protection etc etc. how about in order to get into the ' vault ' you need to bolt cut the door and thats when the alarm is triggered, Then you have to rob the teller. This gives the police a lot more time to act, it prolongs the time for the robbers to get in and out, and it adds realism to the roleplay experience. There needs to be Something done to neri and Westpack because right now the only people successfully robbing these places are NTR and SP.

It will be a database store so you can sell or add stuff to it before it opens. It will be limited stock So basically Gumtree inside the KOS zone..?

Honestly without things like for instance a gun store the KOS is almost useless, the only thing people actually go there for is gold bar buyer, but even then its rare to have anything actually happen, we need to add more things for rebels to do that implement more PVP ( Yes i know its a RP server and i should go to Wasteland if i want to kill people ).

So today i wanted to try out cop, see how long i could last. Also because almost everyone in NTR are on cop more often than rebel. I lasted 15 minutes, this is why.

im obviously being sarcastic.

Noice dude, you really got SP. Im sure you guys beat SP ALL THE TIME.

@Snowwiiee I don't think its all about the worth, more like the fact you guys lost a Ghost Hawk to Rebels.

IGN: [NTR] Franklin Lucas Rule to be Added/Removed/Changed: Changing the recent changes on retreating for Police/Rebels during Fed/Bank Rule in question/Basic Idea of the rule: Although this rule was recently changed i feel it should be slightly different, let me explain. Lets compare Distance first for both forces during Bank Robberies and federal Reserves; Police Sydney HQ is within 500 Meters of the Bank and rebels closest Rebel Base is about 9 K's away, For fed Closest Police base is within 800 Meters and for Rebels its 8.7 K's away.. When I and many others have gone to help Desk over police forces retreating to safe zones, watching us from inside the police HQ/Base and continuing to enter the Police Safe zones and then go back into action (retreating then re-entering combat situation after evading enemy forces) Which is LITERALLY exploiting safe zones and conflicts with the Declaration rules which state you can NOT enter safe zones after being declared on. We understand going back to rearm cars, boats etc etc but when its going in, out in out constantly JUST to evade us then for us to get in trouble for camping the safe zone, or shooting at police attempting to retreat into safe zones (within 50 Meters) it starts to get on our nerves, because when you make the argument " But rebels retreat to safe zones " is a joke cause we literally have to travel 8 K's to get to our nearest, while cops have to go no longer than 1K. The rule that should be changed is IF YOU ARE ENTERING A SAFE ZONE (REBEL BASE 1/2) OR POLICE AIRBASE/HQ YOU HAVE RETREATED AND ARE NOT TO RE-ENTER THE COMBAT SITUATION, THE ONLY REASON EITHER SIDES SHOULD BE ENTERING A SAFE ZONE DURING COMBAT IS IF THEY ARE REARMING OR REFUELING THERE CAR/BOAT/HELICOPTER This goes for both sides Why?: Above. (P.S) I did this as fast as i could so if i don't make sense or repeat myself half way thru my bad.

Well done to the Police Department, put up a good fight and they came out victorious! Heres an idea of what it looked like:

I am sure you obtained a Search Warrant and enough evidence to back up the reason for the warrant

Last time you tried that tactic it went south, probably our fastest fed heist we ever did successfully , you got us once, but we will always be prepared until you try something .new.

Oh this just adds to the hype (I am new to Altis Life) CAN NOT WAIT! Very Nice shot!

Although im fairly new to the Altis Life Straya community, i believe new buildings and bases is always a good idea, it adds more to the Country of Altis and i think thats a thumps up. My short but sweet thought.
