    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.

    Nah servers gone this time

    See u all in FiveM >:D

  2. Apologies in advance but I am going to pick out things of this thread in stance of my own opinion. Thanks for making a thread to try improve AL for the future >:D

    - Make banks provide half the payout that they currently do as this would encourage more civs to do runs of substances rather then rely on banks for payouts (also makes tapping and running less viable.

    Problem is, not many people enjoy spamming windows key and driving a truck around for an hour or so. Would like to see more encouragement for runs as a passive way to earn cash but this isn't the best way to do it.

    Remove the rotation for banks and allow a mass amount of banks on to the map (This would give more options to civ for bank raids and also make it harder for APD to anticipate the upcoming bank raid with drones or PolAir following ifrits places and with the half payout from the first suggestion it would mean that if the APD lost a bank more often it wouldn't hurt as much

    AL has a lot of banks if you plop it all on at once. It might kill FPS I think but I wouldn't mind a revised rotation system. I think on rotations, there will always be a certain bank that is there for all rotations, like abandoned or shipping because it seems it's the rebel's favorite.

    - Remove the city limit rules from Sydney as this would make SYD ratting less viable as it just becomes another part of the map and doesn't require a constant APD presence.

    If city limit rules are gone, then the APD will always need presence in the area, it would become infested with gangs with rebel weaponry. I suppose this idea would be an interesting change but it would require changes to the APD. Patrolling in paper cars with water guns would end bad for us if we would be facing rebel gangs in a city like environment constantly.

    - Make it so you can have saved kits that you can repurchase if you have the correct money amount on you at rebel

    Kits/loadouts = Hell yeah, would be good for cop as well.

    - Make the first spawn city for civs Adelaide (there isn't APD there and this would stop SYD ratting because they feed off the police and it protects the newbies because it is a safezone area where they can earn a bit of money in peace (Glass) before going into the wide world).

    Do you mean that new players have no choice but to spawn in Adelaide? Problem is Adelaide is dead. Yeah, it is a new player environment as you can't get shot but it is dead. Sort of like playing on Rust or 7 Days. Yeah, it's easy to start on a dead server but people like to interact with other players, even if it's a good way (making friends), or a bad way (getting shot). New players are going to need to learn fast that Altis Life in this server is a poor country ran by bandits and rebels and need to watch their back at all times.

    - Conduct a mass unban of players who've either committed minor offences such as not giving enough time between a dec and killing the person (at least they dec'd) and duping (as I believe all the duping glitches have been patched out).

    I believe some that have committed minor offences has already been unbanned but I may be wrong. Just note there was a looooooooooad of people that duped and was given many many chances but just duped in the end again. It is a hard choice for a community to survive when half of itself is full of rule breakers but it's the reality of ARMA3's community, if not, Straya AL's community. What I would think would be a good idea is to revoke some older bans (minor-medium) from like 4 years ago. Now and then, I see people trying to join but is comm banned years ago.

    - Implement a bounty system for civs who've got contractor. This would create more gang on gang pvp as one gang would try to kill the bounty of another gang (if the reward is worth-while) and this would also work toward mitigating the money wastage on civs for kits.

    I've seen a few proposals of this but I personally don't think the s management will pass it through. But I want to see this implemented for sure.

    - Move the main APD base away from SYD to Melbourne. This would make SYD rats even less viable as they tend to feed off the APD and always getting into fights with them. This would force the SYD rats to go global meaning there will be more Reb interaction out in the world. This would also make PolAir a much more useful tool than it currently is as a PolAir division based at Melbourne is able to access all parts of the map quiet easily.

    Sorry but I flat out disagree with this proposal. Sydney/kav from what I remember from years ago has always been our main focus and will always be. It's the largest city on the map and the PD just fits nicely where it is currently. The server currently does not have enough population to support activity across 2 major cities. For ideas like, I suggest forwarding it to command/cabinet but I personally think this will not be considered.

    Yes, syd rats are annoying af however that is what Altis Life is. A cooked country full with a gang problem where if you walk into the dark back streets by yourself, you're going to have a bad day when a hatchback sport pulls up behind you.

    - Morph the CO role into someone who assigns areas of the map to GD units and pairs officers appropriately rather than someone who is made to take charge of every situation in SYD. This would still mean that it is all APD units responsibility to respond to banks still and a CO is still assigned for that bank.

    Sydney is the most active and most chaotic which is why we are always focusing on Sydney. When it is quiet, as said by cabinet, COs are always encouraged to enable global patrols past airport.

    - Create patrol zones for GD unites (i.e. from Agios to Melbourne for one unit, Sydney to Agios for another). This would potentially make highway patrol training more viable and spread the APD out for more RP and PVP rather than bunch them all together in SYD market and have them watch the SYD rats kill and spike strip each-other.

    When a situation happens, almost always a unit would require backup for their safety. Spreading out units over a large proportion of the map is not a bad idea if the server is quiet at the time, but at all times Sydney would need to have at least 2 ground units in or nearby the city.



    For police matters, I recommend forwarding ideas to command/cabinet and discussing it there. Thanks for thinking up a bunch of ideas, other than the bug fixes that come now and then, would like to see new concepts implemented.

  3. Looks 1000% better than the 6 year old ones we have currently

    What I would really like to see is cops having access to some more cosmetic stuff so we can personalize our characters like a black durag or more glasses for lower rank officers. It'd be very rewarding for some of us who have been active and helped bring back the server.

    I got a message that made no sense right after joining in and choosing outfit then went to go buy a car only to be shot

    I’ll give ya 50k when I see you in-game to help you get started. Watch out for bandits in the main cities like Sydney/Kavala, they’re literally everywhere and will try robbing you. Especially when you’re in the back streets where cops won’t see you being robbed.

    There are SO many things that happen behind scenes that you dont know so you cant say we have lost motivation to do anything, you dont think we have tried? You dont think we are still trying? If you know of a GOOD dev that can code, not a map dev, then yeah send them bouda, asnee, james way and they will see but good luck

    I just said I could be completely wrong because I obviously don't know about the development side of AL, I am saying it from a community member's perspective of what I see with no intention to pick on to be rude to any of the staff.  I respect the work that has been done and thank all of the people doing it.

    Edit: There should be more methods of gaining developers than through this website. People don't type up *strayagaming.com* to be enlisted as such.


  7. time to get downvoted to the ground

    I can be completely wrong here about my honest assumptions, but speaking from a community member’s perspective, there is no effort to find developers or produce new content for the Altis Life server as it’s plainly replaced by Squad, I&A since they’re making big bank. Yeah, I know they can’t simply fall out of the sky and are increasingly rare but there must be some still lurking around the AU region, the game isn’t that dead yet. It just seems that the big admin dudes have lost all motivation.

    Oh and yeah, the biggest gang in the server just got banned apparently for whatever reason and I am STILL stuck at 20 frames with a fairly powerful pc if I’m anywhere near Kavala. I believe the server is having its last population dive before it dies completely like the way Ozzy & Darkside did. The game is old, or at least not optimised for roleplay in a gaming era where we expect new content frequently, perhaps a fiveM server to continue the legacy?

    Edit: Please don't take it as I am attacking anyone because I 100% am not or intend to be. I am just saying what I see and honestly think there is a lack of motivation to continue a gamemode that has been going on for years now. Humans get bored of things and its awesome that we've had a community stick around it for years but all things must come to an end.

  8. I am pretty sure it’d be much more easier to find developers for FiveM than for Altis life. Altis life IS dying as it’s old, nothing getting fixed or updated and people are generally bored of it. It’s impossible to deny that and if we want a good half of the network alive, a new server for that part of the community is definitely a good idea.

    It is definitely a tough network to break into a new playerbase but since we do already have an established community, much of it being roleplay related, it won’t be as challenging as those very new networks of servers just starting out so it’s definitely a good idea to reconsider trying it. At this point nothing is a waste of time, AL is completely dying as a lot of dedicated players have left, and I’m pretty sure we’re raking in good funding from Squad and I&A so it’d be a fantastic investment.

    If it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t work out. As bad as this sounds, I’m sure this network is making enough money to waste time developing a server and having a crack at a reliable community.

    Bro the thing that needs to change is to stop you civvies losing 1 shipping yard out of 1000 shipping yards then come to the forums going on “how annoying cops are.” 

    GD literally die literally almost every shipping because we do not have tactical mindset nor even have nearly as good gear as you guys. We’re the ones PUSHING with MXs 6.5 and a police cap while you fellas are extensively rubber banding and looking through the floor with lvl4 armour top to bottom and MK200s/zafs/etc - oh and can’t forget about the silent bullets from the 3km away.

    Accept the boys in blue just had a good day, we’ll be there to die for the next 1000 banks ❤️
