Staff T5 Vigi removed - It's being repriced in our staff shop.

Staff should be required to earn it through normal progression, just like every other player. This ensures the system remains fair and balanced, preventing gameplay advantages and maintaining equal effort and dedication for all players.

Lower the number of players required for airdrops and radioactive to 45 - Reduced to 50 players for spawning.

Change weekend airdrop scheduling to 8PM ET.

Cops can’t take redgulls and epis unless you're in a redzone - The system used in Federal events will apply globally.

December 2x Gold sale price - 1.25x, not 2x. Merry Christmas.

Remove processing licenses from the server and replace them with a starter tutorial for processing - License prices reduced.

• Altis Life was created many years ago, and at the time, roleplay was expected from people. Olympus has hardly any roleplay, and these small barriers to entry make it difficult for new players
• Licenses are something you buy once and never need to care about again forever. This makes the roleplay the lowest of the low.
• Suggestion: Remove all licenses and replace them with a generic Legal Processing License. This license will be acquired by completing a processing tutorial similar to the new player silver mining tutorial.
• This will teach the player how to complete runs on the server and provide them with the necessary licensing to do all runs in the future.
• This new player tutorial will follow the same rules as the existing tutorials
• I may suggest an option to opt out of this new player tutorial. This way players who join with friends can ignore it and learn from their friends.

Restrict new player kidneys from being robbed for 10 hours - Seems like a positive change.

• New players have no idea what's going on, and getting your kidney stolen can be confusing. We do not indicate that you need to go to the hospital, so a new player might just log out, or they have to limp until someone helps them.
• Alternative option: remove the effects of having your kidney stolen. Allow the civilian to still walk/jog (restrict sprinting?)

Add the tutorial as a spawn option for new players - Already an option in-game. We can look at providing a better tutorial experience. 

• The tutorial is hidden away in the Y menu in the quest menu, which isn't the easiest button to see, especially for the new players. This would allow them to see it right away when they are choosing where to spawn in the server. It isn't forced, but it will give them an idea that we have a tutorial.
• will be a spawn option until you have 30 hours on the server

Prevent starting a Federal Reserve or Blackwater X minutes before a restart - 35 minutes before restart.

• The Federal Reserve would be restricted from starting with 30 minutes or less on the clock
• Blackwater would be restricted from starting with 35 minutes or less on the clock

If CIVs request to be sent straight to jail the cop can do so without the need to process - Already in the handbook.

• No civ wants to sit in restraints for extended periods of time

APD

Escort Minimum requirements lowered by 15 player pop - Only the Large, the others won't receive this reduction.

• Small    45 -> 30    
• Medium 60 -> 45    
• Large 75 -> 60
• Would allow for more escort events on lower pop times

Officers rob timer increased to 1 hour from 30 minutes - Despite the past ruling we'll allow this and hopefully APD members will continue patrolling without fear in their hearts.

• This would allow a longer response period for the APD to chase down criminals without the fear of being robbed again for their weapons.
• There is already a large surplus of tasers out in the wild as it is.

Federal event bomb defuses payout 500k -> 2M - Payout representative of the defuse, finally better than a Pharma.

• This would provide a slightly higher payout to APD members. As it stands, banks pay out more than federal events.

Advanced Vigilante License - Only positives, no negatives. Think about Adv. Rebel trade-offs for future content or an advanced progression. This literally gives you a significant financial advantage that you'd pay off immediately with the benefits it gives.

A premium upgrade designed for experienced Vigilantes who have reached the highest level of progression. This license provides exclusive perks, enhanced rewards, and improved operational efficiency.

• Increased Bounty Payouts:
• All bounty payouts are increased by +5% per Vigilante tier.
• Legal Sales Bonus:
• Receive a bonus on all legal sales prices, increasing profits from legitimate activities.
• Access to the Bounty System:
• If the bounty system is implemented, only Advanced Vigilantes will have access.

• Purpose:
• The Advanced Vigilante License rewards Tier 5 Vigilantes, enhancing operational efficiency and providing economic and tactical advantages for elite members.

Cap WP loss at 2 (will settle for 3) - Use big gear lose big WP. The gain is already very large; it's not meant to be 1 sided where you're gaining significantly more then you could possibly lose.

Processing minigame 

• Same minigame as lockpicking, where it doesn't impact the process if not played
• if you manage to get x amount correct you receive a bonus (4-5 of the drug you are processing)
• adds a bit of skill to processing and more engaging
• The idea is also that if you have the Adv Rebel Processing License for the drug in question you won't receive the minigame, but you receive the bonus as a default, this will make more people get the Adv rebel licenses and also give people more of a reason too.

Introduce Dog tags - Countless reasons why this would be negligible and forgotten within the week.

Everyone has one on death, 0 virtual weight, sells for 1500 for civilians, 3k for cop's dog tags at BMs and rebels, essentially scrap. Cops seizure is 25% of value

Fix terror WPs so it simulates the gear - Not broken, intended to avoid farming noobs and the RDM nature of terrors.

Cops are allowed to open the back door during a “dome strategy” fed - WR in the gutter, this isn't going to force people out of the dome. It'll just result in an even lower success rate.

• 10 minutes or less on bomb timer
• 30 second animation to bolt cut the back dome door

Staff

Remove 3:1 rule - too much all at once, still an RP server even if it's lite. 

• For the reasons stated above. It was added when you couldn't rob cop tasers. Tasers have flooded the market, and tasing cops with a basic tier 0 vigilante license is easy when you have numbers. A Sting taser sells for upwards of $1 million.
• The 3:1 rule is fun to utilize, but it's resulting in APD never playing when they don't have higher rank officers online. Deputies and POs stand no chance patrolling solo or in small numbers because gangs severely overwhelm them. The APD has admitted this is why they do not want to play in the early morning or late at night.

APD

Airdrop events lethal only - Eliminates risk and opportunity to rob gear from the airdrop off whoever gets crate first. Really hacky suggestions in RT for tasers converting to lethals or some shit which seems to be complicated to be worth this effort.

• All weapons would automatically be converted into lethal-loading weapons during airdrop events. The main expectation of fighting within the airdrop is that you would only be facing others with lethal weapons.
