There hasn't been anything locked that was normally accessible if I remember correctly after the large rework that happened in this patch: ^ The same patch allowed us to create a large plethora of textures that weren't available increasing the Clothing shop's options by a significant portion for every single player, everyone got the benefit of a larger pool of textures. Every single non-custom Backpack, Goggles/Facemask, Vest, and almost all default Arma Vehicle skins and Headgear are free too. They don't do this on literally any other server and the revenue lost from it is noticeable however cosmetics add to the player experience and that is a reason we've left so much unlocked that other servers paywall. I don't think you actually remember how few options the shop used to have lol. It is lucrative in the sense of funding the server and all of our other maintained platforms so that we can operate on a daily basis. I'm not sure what donor rewards you're referencing that have been taken away, if you could provide further insight it's probably just something overlooked considering how massive the rework was, numerous people have requested in tickets when something on the Wiki was incorrect vs. what's in-game and I've fixed it, it's not malicious. If you're referring to some textures that have been removed then the Designers will be working on new stuff, over time we've optimized the mission to pack more in with less space and some vehicles were... less fortunately made. There will be more additions for Donation tiers as time goes on however I cannot provide an estimate as the Design team is quite overworked as is.

We're currently working out details regarding quite a few of the things mentioned here, ex: warning system for administration instead of bans, new events catered to noobier gangs and prevent the upper echelon players, additional tutorials and quests, etc.

I have access to more information than you, there is a reason they were association banned and I imagine if you bothered asking your friends then you'd find out. As per usual they can appeal their bans to be reviewed however the relevant individuals have already seen and agreed with my bans.

It wasn't targeted at you, I was just told they weren't happy with what they got and then offered a rework (again).

Going to break it down since you had large paragraphs repeated I don't hate the RnR, I just enjoy having a mild drama beef with them, the only thing I don't like is that historically nothing happens on RnR reports and it's pointless in asking SRnR to address any issues because they'll just laugh it off and continue to allow medics to break rules. It's honestly been like this since I originally joined in 2017. I don't know what your grievances are with either Winters or Nicole but it really goes to show that you've never honestly interacted with them and can't see the backend of the faction. You don't know who isn't active, who isn't meeting their desk activities, who is getting IA'd, etc. from the outside looking in "hurr APD bad, I was removed!!" seems like an appealing thing to jump on the bandwagon however you're literally backing someone who stepped down of their own volition then lied about it for community sympathy. The 10hr minimum was meant to encourage SAPD to actually play since the desk duties they were completing were light, SAPD in the past historically put more time into the server and did their duties + some additional. I literally got Ghosthawked by an armed medic Ghosthawk? I don't know how you can be upset about losing minor amounts of money on vehicles for a faction that literally doesn't spend any. The April Fools beef has historically led to APD vs. RnR interactions, it really isn't that personal I had a blast that day and I lost a significant amount myself. If we weren't committing war crimes against you, you would be committing war crimes against the JrAPD who didn't have a single other SAPD member on. It's genuinely crazy how I hear from @ Marcus that he wanted the RnR rework because he didn't like the textures Sploding made and wanted a reduced size that would allow more skins. I don't understand how you can be upset at a faction rework that expands upon what you have available requested by your leader with someone who didn't participate in the rework. It's also worth noting that the "File Size" was a major limitation considering it rivaled the APD and the APD had a larger arsenal of vehicles, the APD got reworked for the same considerations. Have fun in retirement.

There are 2 'staff members' in Aegis that have the ability to ban/compensate/whatever and it's me and @ Masonn , neither of us commented on the ticket or on the subsequent compensation requests. Your statement makes it seem like we attempted to convince Marcus/Gary to unban and refuse the comp which isn't true. Caloom isn't in Aegis, he's a friend of Headtaps who invites him when we're playing together. I'll reiterate one more time, no staff member affiliated with Caloom bothered to get involved in his report, ban or the subsequent compensation requested for his Ghosthawk. This situation cannot be biased due to the fact that affiliated parties didn't attempt to interfere and there wasn't specialized treatment given, you claiming this shows out outlandish your argument is. You're claiming that the Head Administrator of the server and the Administrator in a gang that rivals my own are both biased despite the fact that they: A: Don't fucking care B: Aren't affiliated with the gang in a positive or cooperative way C; Benefit nothing from either the unban, denying the compensation, or dealing with this tantrum I don't necessarily mind you confronting this situation to get answers as most players would be upset however you've been provided with them and are spewing nonsense about the longest-standing Administrative member and a genuine pillar of the community. You genuinely have a distorted view of the situation due to how closely involved you were, the icing on the cake is that you've purposefully tried to distort the community's perception of this event by clipping it short and failing to provide the information in the dispute. Won't bother responding to anything further since you feel the need to give me boundless cancer from having to argue with a sociopath, the facts are there and your slander of myself, Marcus, Mason and Gary is clearly unfounded.

These were scrapped due to balance reasons + overall complexity. We shall see what team Vigilante has for us in the next week or so.

Vigilante requests were a bit too drastic/unbalanced or were outdated by the time development went into action. It wasn't intentional to snuff Vigilantes and some things have yet to be included for the other perk trees as well. Luckily we have a Roundtable coming up so Civilian Council can suggest potential changes and request additional perks.

1st player with the Mar-10 isn't lagging, he's EU but that's just Arma. The 2nd player definitely was, if you believe that the player in question was lag switching then you'd have a better time filing a report instead of publicly accusing them. Crashes + lag has been fixed except for the occasional DDoS attack while we wait for OVH mitigation to kick in.

You may still use the profiling branch (we will whitelist each build after confirming it's relatively bug-free). If you need to downgrade to an older version of profiling, we suggest using the official Bohemia Google Drive to do so.

We're looking to release a small update providing last Roundtable's topics and QoL bugfixes and some other minor things. We have some very large projects being worked on that are coming to a close however it's best to separate this content into separate updates to keep things moving along and to avoid postponing. It's only been a month, admittedly didn't really have content in the last one but we'll amend that soon. I promise you some cool stuff is coming soon.

I will unironically show you who duped what if you come into teamspeak, I wanted to publicize this however there were concerns that the individuals that duped would compare and use it as a bragging rights thing. I'm sure that a look at the data and a minor explanation will clear up any misconceptions that you might have.

The player was kill switched and then subsequently revived by a staff member within the span of 40s, seems to have been a joke however individuals observing it might not think so.

Not acceptable to post anything relevant to cheating as it's basically advertising for said cheat in the past this usually results in a forum restriction. In this instance since they chose to call out corruption/abuse it'd look significantly worse to hide something, especially given the outrage. That is the sole reason this video is allowed to stay at the moment.

Only 1 person who isn't staff has keys, none of the individuals are permitted to take anything besides commonplace magazines. The picture they showed was doctored, not going to show the actual ID to any individuals that don't already know. >_> Ngl, I do get some things for myself every now and then but for the most part I just fight cops with it instead of Civilians, still abuse but atleast they aren't paying for loadouts. My Cyrus' aren't legit but I've only used it like 1-2x in combat, still pretty unexcusable but I wanted to have some fun. Literally like watching an Al-Qaeda video about the West and believing them, a genuine terrorist to the server. Monster scrapped his Airdrop Ifrits prior to the patch that introduced the dupe, 4+ staff members reviewed my work, you can always request someone else to review it if you want, I'm sure they'll answer you before the end of the year. My Cyrus' are indeed spawned in, I don't utilize them unless I'm feeling like a menace to society. There are quite a few Cyrus on the server due to @ Grandma Gary being a raffle menace. Nobody gets gear for joining, nobody has unlimited gear (albeit me I guess), nobody has unlimited scrap, the reserves have been depleted crafting rockets. I don't like them joking about the abuse stuff because even sarcastically it still portrays a bad picture. Mk-1 Gangbase loadouts are like 250k at most, most of our members make money through Cop or Conquest, it's not that expensive to fight, the Armor however adds a bit onto the total if chopped. The majority of the houses shown are legitimate, the only one that wasn't was mine. TLDR, 90% of staff abuse to some degree, I'm not going to lie and say I don't. I treat myself sometimes but I'm not giving players in my gang enhanced gear nor incentivizing them to join my gang due to that. You're literally watching a video of a kid who is a serial cheater and taking him at his word through hysteria instead of analyzing how things came to be. Hope this clears things up, didn't have to reply but some people seemed upset so I figured I'd clarify it.
