    Yes, people are required to play weekly, but that doesn’t mean we can determine when they play. If people don’t want to log on to APD we can’t threaten them, it’s at their leisure. 

    You treat the APD like it’s another gang, when in reality it’s designed as a secondary way to experience the server that is an entity of the server. 

    Most people that join the APD are not career cops, they main civilian, and it’s not their priority. It was designed this was, and intends to stay this way. As well, unlike a gang that can pick and choose, the APD is open to most people if they meet our requirements.

    Hence, the APD is comprised of everyone willing to put in their times, and follow our guidelines. It is beyond our powers to force people to log on at certain times or to require people attend combat trainings. APD is not their main priority, they may want to be doing feds or other activities with their main priorities.

    Therefore, in an attempt to balance feds, asking the APD to “get more people” or to “do trainings” is unrealistic and uncharacteristic to how the APD is designed to work. 

    I do not see it as unrealistic or uncharacteristic to ask the APD to actually train people on anything really. I never said that these trainings must be mandatory. If you offer the option for fed training for POs+ those who take the option will most likely be the ones who are active for federal events. Those who don’t will either be the @Lincoln Williams Roleplayers or those who will not be active for the APD and will be more focused on civ life. Would probably also be a good measure of rank progression as it would help to give you an idea of which POs will be your backbone for fed events and probably deserve a rank upgrade.

    Video on the forums from two years ago vs required up to date video during training

    How much has the call-outs changed since then? Also same issue you put call outs in a video and expect APD to know how to push? I’m saying it requires more effort on SAPD part and to actually show/teach new ranking officers in game how to push a fed. Make it apart of deputy training or add training at each rank where the rank above them shows them the new ins and outs of their rank and include how to push feds for the PO rank training. But that would probably require more FTOs

    Yeah, but at the same time, when they are getting told what to do there are usually a shit ton of people talking over each other. When that happens I usually have to raise my voice and tell them all to shut the fuck up, then tell the deputies what to do. It is usually a bit chaotic in the channel and not as clear comms as it may be in Civ teamspeaks. In that case of a deputy getting milked several times they should get specific training or something to tell them what to do at federal events, not get disciplined.

    Easy solution to aids communications during fed events in cop channels/cop stacks is simple. give Corp+ the ability to make themselves the priority speaker in the channel, and the highest ranking APD member takes control of the commands in the channel. Also discipline those who are shooting the shit and just dicking around in the teamspeak as well. Make tac coms an essential rule for federal events. Only those who are alive should be talking in the channel, and only to give call outs or directions. @Pledge easy fix for idiotic comms for APD fed events.

    Idk it’s already in the training guide or what ever but maybe have a section dedicated to milking and explain it in some depth(would only take a few minutes)

     

    And fed call outs ie gate 1 northwest tower crate jump. Or bw callouts. 

     

    I don’t think just giving the APD fed call outs will help too much @DeadPool has already made a video for each event with call outs for the APD and they still don’t do well. I’d say actually teaching them how to push properly would go a lot farther than just giving them call outs.

    Buff inbound.

    If you are talking about today, they were authorized since you stole the ghosthawk and I was just looking more POs in

    If you are talking about the BW after the fed then I can understand that one, but if you are talking about the 5th wave PO lethals prior to the ghost hawk steal that is kinda abusive. It was 18 chops vs 20 civs. And y’all had a nice cop stack going as well. Also, the PO lethals were authorized before the Ghost hawk was even at the BW. The PO lethals were authorized while the Ghosthawk was still trying to escape the other APD ghost hawk that was chasing it around Kavala-Neochari area. As a PO ya I want lethals because tasing and restraining at big events is difficult, but when it is authorized for shit reasons, or even because the bomb blows in 5 minutes and your only on the 4th or 5th wave because a deputy got milked, or the SAPD/server owner gets milked for some 5-6 minutes each wave. A better solution to having PO lethals authorized would be to actually teach your POs and Deputies how to actually do a federal event.

    There are many things which are not public, in reality though the new lethal system probably won't be used much and if it is and is abused, then there will obviously be a change whether it does come from sAPD or staff themselves. 

    Point being you're all complaining about something that's been out for a few hours saying it will be abused when in reality you don't know it will.  Sure, it might be similar to the old SDAR system, but it's not the same.  Some suggestions have been to properly use the sAPD tools (ghs hunters striders), but if we do use them, you complain about them and say we abuse those too.

    You’re retarded it has already been abused within the day that it was released. Just ask the boys at the BW last night how fast cops loaded lethal for POs (3rd wave) when it was 13 civs to 17 cops. 

  6. It's been a while since I've seen anything regarding the Vigilante Tiers. I tried searching for it on the forums but come up with nothing but people selling cop gear, and complaining about vigilante's being OP etc. etc. I'd just like either an explanation at what vigilante's get at each tier with the arrest count required, or a link to the forum post if possible. Thank you for your time and keep fighting.

  7. Not sure if this has been addressed directly. I know they stated that medic times and revives will be comped with evidence but will the money for the revives be comped as well? I’ve seen some segueing it shouldn’t due to an increase in pvp activity due to hacked funds. Basically when you say revives will be comped is that saying the 17,500 per revive will be comped to the medic or is that saying that just the stat will be comped to the medic?

    did I just read roleplay

    I believe we did just read roleplay...leave it to RnR to bring the roleplay to the forums...now we just need the APD to bring the downvote button back.

  9. If you really wanna give the server more action I’d say make pharma have a better pay out, and boost sell price for runs and processing speeds for illegal runs. That’ll incentivize players to do more illegal activities, and also make more money in the process. Then cop and RnR won’t be a fling 30 minutes at hospital or hq 

  10. Is it possible to make it so that vigilantes cannot PSU off bounties that they accrue? Especially robbing charges. Also make it so that a Vigi can’t be used by a gang to restrain RnR and APD persons without getting a bounty.
