Hey guys this is going to be a big post with a fair bit of detail. I'd appreciate instead of just reading the comments and the post itself if you could interact with it in some way (i.e. leaving a comment or just doing a react) so the staff know that people are looking for changes/updates to the AL server (you don't necessarily have to agree with this post but the react shows to staff that people want changes). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Updates for Civ & Cop: - 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. - 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) - 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. Updates for Civ: - Make it so you can have saved kits that you can repurchase if you have the correct money amount on you at rebel (makes people hang around rebels safezone less and puts more people out in the world). - 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). - 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). - Create more Cap points around the map as this would mean that one gang can't just control the entrance to KOS island and monopolize the caps away from smaller gang (maybe even fold some of the Gang Hideouts into cap points as well so they become doubly valuable forcing more rebs to move around the map) - Increase max money for the grinders - 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. Updates for Cop: - Make it so Det & SRT can go out on ops as soon as there is more than 6 GD cops on (ie if there is 7 cops on and 2 of the 7 are Det then only one of the Dets are allowed on ops until another GD unit gets on or another div member joins afterwards meaning they take up their rotation of GD allowing the div members who've been on longer to go out on ops) - 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. - 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. - 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lets try and get some more realistic requests going as well gang.

This will be the culmination of a few months of thoughts and ideas that myself and fellow community members have had about the current state of Strayagaming, and in particular, Altis Life. To start with, the slow decline of the Strayagaming is noticeable- with the population on servers dwindling down to single digits on weekends and during holiday breaks. While this may not be the case for all servers, like Invade and Annex which has seen a stable player base ranging from 20-50 players at a given time during peak hours; Altis Life has seen low numbers with population spikes during updates and events, however closer criticism in regards to events and updates will be covered later. Naturally of course, its unreasonable to expect the server to perform with good population (40-70 players) all day, every day. However, many roleplaying servers manage to maintain a solid player-base which returns on evenings, weekends and holidays to have fun with some mates. Altis life lacks the core component of why the majority of people play games- fun. There are some aspects of the server which are fun such as banks, robberies, capture points and events; but these are only fun for so long, as after a while people get bored with the exact same gangs doing banks, fighting at capture points and the same events being recycled over and over again. Even the roleplay component of the server has taken a toll, with it hard to find people willing to talk and take part in arguably the most core component of any “Life” server. Updates As of now the lack of updates for Altis Life has been in the minds of many players for months- with the last update being v11.6, on the 3rd of December 2019. This update brought about mostly changes for the APD, with new outposts being added as well as minor bug fixes. The last major update with server-wide content was v11.5, with the introduction of adrenaline and the gang fund system. While these updates have introduced new content and mechanics, nothing implemented within the last 3 months has contributed to player fun and enjoyment. Furthermore, the lack of transparency about updates is detrimental to the hype and the effect that talking about such things has on attracting new players. If Strayagaming was to release teaser videos showing bits and pieces of upcoming updates, it would be highly beneficial to letting people know that the management team still cares about the server- rather than having no talk or any information about updates (if there even is one coming). This feeling of being left in the dark is so impactful on people that it has and will continue to drive players off the server and out of the community. Even this issue has been recognised by server staff, with quotes such as: “There needs to be content for everyone to do. Such as, challenges, levelling system etc. Give people an enjoyable reason to play and the player pop might increase”. “Civs needs more activities / jobs to do. Jobs such as repair men, taxi drivers, bounty hunters could all be implemented to some degree on Altis life. Civilians don't have much of a choice when it comes to legal activities that can be rewarding”. However, a potential strategy for update releasing is to do updates once every 1-2 months with new content and ideas to continuously change up what happens on the server, so that there is an element of enjoyment for all. Events The recent spike in events being held is an attempt to increase server population- not with a solution, but rather a Band-Aid. It works for the time of the event, but once it’s over the server population will fall back down into single digits. Even the events, which were fun and enjoyable to do every Friday evening- with a range of things like Pawnee battles, de-sync derby and other PVP games; have now become old and boring. Take for instance the most recent event, “The Purge”. This event is being held over two days, with 3 hours allocated for The Purge to be run, but the population has peaked on the 22nd of February at around the mid-20s. Before the downfall of events, they would attract upwards of 20-30 people onto the server looking to have a fun time after a hard week at school or work- but now its just another thing to add onto the list of dead and worn-out solutions. Perhaps we can see the return of events in a new and interesting fashion in the future. Community The lack of engagement led by the Strayagaming staff team is a large contributor to the lack of new population across its services. The number of new players for many servers has fallen as people who are new to the game or are trying something new perhaps don’t even know of the existence of Strayagaming. The introduction of a dedicated social media/promotions team would be of great benefit, as it would be able to tap into the massive amounts of people on social media at any given time- and then spread the community name and servers to new and keen players looking to have a fun time. For example, the Strayagaming twitter account has not been used since December 2018- almost 14 months of inactivity from it. This account could be used to announce updates, changes, giveaways and major items on a platform that many individuals will have in their pockets during the day and night. Secondly, the introduction of an Instagram account would also be used in the same way as the twitter account, but perhaps being used to share promotional material and larger updates that require photos and/or videos to fully show off features. From what I can gather, this idea is in the works but who knows how long it could take for it to be implemented. Finally, the Strayagaming podcast is a great medium for items such as interviews and news to be delivered in a simple form. There have already been moves to put this into play, and hopefully in the future we can see the podcast return in a new and revamped style. Final Remarks The main thing to take away from this is from my eyes at least, communication. It is so important to let players know of what’s coming up in digestible and accessible forms, so that they aren’t feeling like they are in the dark or perhaps playing on a dead server. Who knows if these ideas will be taken into consideration but its worth a shot since many of us have spent countless hours playing in this community, and it’s sad to see it slowly crumbling away. Nonetheless, I hope that we can bring Strayagaming back to the way it was, with an active and engaged community.

As of 25/05/2019 at 00:00 AEST, all issues which relate to the reporting of a rulebreach on Altis Life now require the person initiating the helpdesk report to be directly involved in the issue (to have ‘standing’). All other services are NOT impacted by this change due to their low incident volumes. If this changes in the future we will announce it. As a result, you may initiate a helpdesk report for situations such as where you are being run over, but not any issue to which you would be deemed as a ‘third party’, such as watching another person (who is not apart of the same group) be run over. You may still bring up others who are not directly involved to provide evidence/testimony. Being directly involved means that you fit into one of the following categories: Be directly impacted by the incident and did not solely observe an incident. Be apart of a group (As defined by the Altis Life Rules section 5.12) of whom one or more members were directly impacted by the incident, or be apart of the Police or Paramedic factions bringing up an issue that affects another member of the same faction. Be reporting an incident which impacts all members, such as illegitimately impacting the server economy through duping/exploiting, hacking/scripting etc. If you have any questions, feel free to bring up your questions with the support team or altis life staff.

So guys, I went to go fishing, you know as you do casually. But I couldn't find a way on actually how to catch the fish? I've bought a boating license, diving license, full diving gear, a boat and still no fish. I go out to about 100-250 meters out and drop the nets yet nothing, no matter how long I'm out there for. Not sure if this is a possible bug or I'm possibly missing something. Thank you for your time, much appreciated -Babadook

Are police able to question the drug dealer? Do they have drones? If travelling near an Illegal area atleast 200 meters away. Does this count as doing illegal activities? I came down the hill from sydney drug dealer and was instantly fired on by SeReG or SeRaG unsure. With no declaration to stop until after I asked what he was doing. I asked to speak to another officer and he came and told me they had spoken to the drug dealer to get my name and that they had a drone above watching me. Are these actual features or was I just wrongly arrested? Plus the Police had already conducted raids on the Weed Field,Processor and Drug dealer I thought that there was a 1 hour cooldown after a raid was done?

The ROA guys decided to rob the bank and had taken a hostage, so putting the life and safety of the hostage we didn't go tactical on bank until after the Hostage had been retrieved and secured. Once that had been achieved, we took off in pursuit of the robbers who had been observed mounting their strider and making an aquatic getaway. The pursuit lasted a good 20-30 minutes until we finally prevailed despite being low on fuel and ammo and my at times horrendous shooting. Shoutout to the cops involved for a job well done and ROA for providing us with great RP and chase. (some sections have been cut due to screen freezes or me not getting it on shadow-play. This is the first youtube video i've ever uploaded so im not really that good at the whole editing thing)

to chocmintz and envy. please enjoy the video I do suggest you watch the whole video it has been edited.
