Civilian Cartels Remove NLR in Therisa Exception: Players respawning in Therisa with the sole intent of returning to WZ are exempt from NLR on the condition their presence is limited to pulling a vehicle and driving to WZ Reasoning: Currently a grey area amongst staff, some staff members ban players breaking nlr in Therisa; some don't. Most players intentions are to drive into warzone, but unfortunately get spawn camped within the city preventing the increase in fights. Revert War-points back to original scaled value - pre-update - We will try to replicate previous values; due to an overhaul of the code it may not be exact same on our first attempt Runs Insider Trading License Purchasable license: which gives players the option to view when real-estate will become available on the market. Green Map Marker = Less than 15 Days left till house is purchasable on market. Yellow Map Marker = Less than 10 Days left till house is purchasable on market. Red Map Marker = Less than 5 Days left till house is purchasable on market. Cost $1M, can be purchased at Realtor Reasoning: Helps new players receive an advantage for finding good real-estate on the map before House is purchasable on market. Vigilantes Change: Remove the ability for vigilantes to tase in warzone, change to lethal magazines within warzone island. Vigilantes will receive a percentage of a players bounty when lethaled in Warzone based off of Vigi Tier. Tier 1: 5% Tier 2: 10% Tier 3: 15% Tier 4: 20% Tier 5: 25% A system to prevent Vigilantes camping bottleneck & rebels can be similar to the renown point system. Vigilantes who kill a player who is naked/ gearless will receive a far less % of bounty when killed. System can be scalable. Change: If a Vigilantes License is seized by the APD: it disables the ability for the license to be purchased for 48 Hours. Scats Add a "Rob All" Option when robbing players. Action will take same amount of time as robbing everything separately Move 200% Pharma Drop Off @ Pol - Moving it North of Sofia towards the lighthouse. Ability to pay bail immediately once player is sent to jail. Feds Remove a scout ghosthawk/huron vehicle's ability to contribute to multiple hawks lost + guns hot status. Must go back to HQ to revert back to rapid. Dopamine Shot/ Epi-Pen Changes Decrease dopamine shots & epi-pens item weight to 2. Decrease dopamine shots cooldown to 2 minutes. Change dopamine shot image to syringe. Dope Shots now give revived players dopamine on revive: without dope timer. Change Dopamine Shot price to 250k if changes above are met. APD Added: Possession with Intent to Distribute charge $25k Seize Vigi Licence Add if a civilian is found to have distributed any form of illegal contraband to another person. Reasoning: An additional charge that can be added when civilians are handing out illegal contraband to APD Officers. Improper Handling of Hazardous Materials charge $25k Seize Vigi Licence Add if a civilian is found to have distributed radioactive materials to another person. Reasoning: An additional charge that can be added when civilians are handing out radioactive material to APD Officers. Stone grenades usable in grenade launchers. This would be priced the same and work the same as the current tear gas grenade that can be used in grenade launchers. Reasoning: An additional tool in the APD arsenal. Road kits to Patrol Officer - Approved for addition, if there are performance issues as a result of this then it is subject to removal without notification; will be unavailable and cleaned up during times of low server performance. Limit of 5 being able to be placed at a time by an individual Patrol Officer. Reasoning: An additional tool in the APD arsenal. With a limit on how many road kits a Patrol Officer can place this will hopefully cause less concerns. Changed: Rule Change - Denied in favor of the lethal adjustments below APD may not utilize vans at any federal events. Reasoning: The win rate/amount of Federal Events has been increasing and this change will give the APD an additional counter to attempt to get into the Federal Events. Lethals can authorized for all officers at federal events after 10 minutes if <= 10 officers online; dope timer inside federal events increased to 10m Car-95 price adjustment Increase Car-95-1 price from $70k to $75k Magazines from $5k to $6.5k Reasoning: Car-95s are cheap weapons for how effective they are with a fast fire rate and high capacity magazines. Increasing the prices to $70k/$150k makes the weapons more in line with similar weapons such as the Spar-16/Spar-16-s. Increase APD Escort Event Reward Payouts (total reward payout would still be split between the APD Officers participating in the APD Escort) Small - $1 mil - $1.5 mil Medium - $1.5 mil - $2 mil Large - $2 mil - $2.5 mil Reasoning: An additional incentive to encourage APD Officers to do Escort Events producing more content. Buff Hunter and Strider front glass to be more similar to Ifrit front glass. - Pending further investigation and discussion with CC Reasoning: There is still a significant difference between an Ifrit's front glass and other armoured vehicle's front glass. It can still only take 2-3 bullets from an MK-1 to kill someone out of a Hunter/Strider, the Ifrit can take anywhere from 15-30+ bullets to shoot someone out. RnR Add Rescue and Recovery Firefighting This can be an alternate thing for medics to do while playing on the server. Open Casino for Medics - I have been personally left to bleed out 2km from Kavala, watching a medic coinflip the entire time very shortly before it was removed; casino gambling doesn't have the benefit of people seeing it in side chat, so it'd be even harder to hold medics accountable. This would be another thing for medics to do in their free time while playing. Also, the best money sink in the game, and letting medics use it will help take money from Medics. Medic Kajman and Taru(Medical) (Kajman = Sup+ Taru(Medical) = Search & Rescue) - Currently Supervisors have 2 items over the previous rank, RnR is also over-budget on texture file size. The Taru medical is a simple addition, the Kajman is not. Another couple helis for medics to play around with. Remove all weapons and skins will be needed. Change Medic DP mission payout - we'll set this to be the same as normal DP missions ($/km), which is slightly over 3x Increase the Payout for completing medic DP missions by 3x. Current System Kav - Neo 16k and it takes roughly 3 minutes. You can do roughly 20 runs like that in an hour and you would make $320,000. The new payout from Kav - Neo 48k takes the same time so 20 runs times 48k would be roughly $960,000. This can be a way to fix the medic DP missions and the medics will have something else to do to keep them moving. Remove Vehicle pull cost from hospitals - This was an unintended effect for the reimplementation of vehicle retrieval price. The vehicle pull price is too high for the amount of money currently being made while playing medic. Medics pulling vehicles from hospitals should not cost anything as that is our main garage and Air station. Remove Pay reduction while Hostage at a Federal Event Medics don’t want to be there against their will as it is and most times they don’t revive and only give dope.

Civilian Council Conquest Reduce flag capture time by 3.5 seconds per group member within 100m - Approved, but the numbers will be tweaked to utilize ratio rather than absolute count to actually reflect "overwhelming majority" and will not be as significant in most situations Groups must have overwhelming majority For example: 10v10 would be 45 seconds 10v5 would be 10 seconds 5v4 would be 27.5 seconds Decrease respawn timer based on death location The closer to a capture point the larger the decrease For example: If you die within 100m of a point, your respawn timer would be 1m 15sec If you die more then 100m from a point, your respawn timer would remain the same Runs Redesign hybrid runs (runs with legal and illegal components) to favor illegal aspects and the person doing the run - Moonshine & Mushroom processor redesign approved for greater dependability, meth is already pretty good Cigar/Cigarette Run - Combining two fields into one legal/illegal run doesn't really change the dynamics very much, and the APD are already strongly against illegal runs involving legal components. Reasoning This gives players the option to be passive and do a simple low risk run like legal runs, and have the option for higher risk runs. While making people trying to rob them follow them and keep an eye on them to be able to rob and not just set up a basic overplayed ambush. (If too many runs as is, This is a good way to phase out old style of runs and test something new.) Like Ditch Weed or silver and place according) Legal Route Tobacco Field > Cigarette/Dart Roller > General Market Illegal Route Tobacco Field > Cuban Roller > Cuban Dealer New zones added Tabaco Field Legal zone Cigarette/Dart Field Legal zone Cuban Cigar Roller Illegal zone Cuban Dealer Illegal zone New items added Tobacco Acts as the unprocessed resource Sells for 75$ Cigarette/Dart Acts as the legal processed resource Sells for $900-$1800 Cuban Cigar Acts as the illegal processed resource Sells for $1500-$3200 Vigilante Add regull alternative to vigilantes - Y'all can have coffee - the novelty of a special item isn't worth the implementation time Reasoning Would be a small but cool item that only vigilantes would have, something special for them, as the coffee to the apd. + would be a nice trophy for rebels when they kill a bounty hunter. Titled: Cappuccino No changes from regull besides name and visuals Add Vigilante HQ - You already have a "vigi hq" at Athira Big outpost similar to an APD HQ - Sure, we can make it bigger Allows tier 3 vigilantes+ to respawn at the HQ Would contain a helicopter pad - Airfield is literally right there Location would be on top of the hill near the sand processor, north of it. Scats Limit player housing to 5 per player instead of per account Reasoning Currently there are a lot of houses owned by 1 player, this would increase current house slots and with future changes to houses provide more availability and a less monopolized market. Add purchasable perk to spawn in with GPS + selected clothing uniform - will be part of a large system coming soonTM Feds Add wave rule to starting point pharma and bank - Already done by the APD If 5 or less cops RESPONDING then no wave rule Limit the amount of striders able to be utilized at a fed to a specific amount - This was denied last RT and re-proposed without any changes to address the previous reason for denial Reasoning Smoke fighting is something very few people enjoy doing, limiting the availability of striders at a federal event causes less smoke fighting whilst still allowing APD to smoke off important areas. Senior APD Add Fuel siphon Multiple use y-inventory item (2 weight/$5k) that with a 20 second animation allows players (all factions) to empty fuel out of a vehicle. Drains to 10%, cannot drain if < 10% Reasoning: An additional y-inventory item that can perform an action that cannot currently be performed in-game. Civilian House Raiding - Would be very one-sided towards people that just want to knock down doors for free gear or to harass specific groups Civilians would have the ability to raid one another houses in an attempt to get the virtual/physical items stored inside. Reasoning: An additional feature that adds another dynamic to Olympus that allows civilians the opportunity to obtain gear that is locked away inside of houses which as of current is unobtainable. How Civilian House Raiding Would Work: Purchase a crowbar for $500k (y-inventory item) from a Rebel Outpost. The crowbar is a one time use item. The house owner/key holder must be online on the Civilian Faction for a player to attempt to raid their house. Once a house raid has been initiated regardless of whether the owner/key holder log out the raid can continue, the gear will still be accessible within the property. The house must first be boltcutted, or broken into in some form. The player then would use the crowbar inside of the property to start raiding the house. Raiding a house takes 15 minutes. The player utilizing the crowbar must remain in the animation, otherwise the house raid would be cancelled and the crowbar disappears. Once the house raid is completed the player conducting the house raid will be able to access the house inventory for 30 minutes. Once the 30 minutes has passed the house will automatically reseal and would require the process to be repeated to access the inventory again. Alternatively the house owner/key holder can windows key inside of the house and reseal the inventory. This action is an animation that takes 3 minutes to complete. Failure to remain in the animation cancels the action. Alternative Gear Access Proposals: Option to raid a house’s virtual or physical inventory. Rather than when raiding the house all gear is accessible after completion of the house raid only the virtual or physical gear would be accessible. The player could still choose to repeat the process and attempt to rob the other inventory once the animation is completed. Once a house raid is completed the player would be able to select 5 virtual and 5 physical items from the inventory to take. This would be all of that item that they would be able to take. Eg. A house has 100 Moonshine, the player would be able to take 100 of the moonshine and this would only be counted as 1 item towards the total of 5 virtual items that can be selected. Extra House Upgrades: Alarm System. An alarm system upgrade can be purchased for houses for $500k. The alarm system will send a notification to all owners/key holders that are online, warning them that their house is being raided. A notification will appear on the map over the house that is being raided. Reinforced Storage. 3 tiers of reinforced storage can be purchased for houses for $1 mil per a tier. Each tier adds 5 minutes onto the time it takes for a player to raid a house. Eg. Tier 0 - 15 minutes, Tier 1 - 20 minutes, etc. Maximum raid time would be 30 minutes if all reinforced storage upgrades are purchased. All of the aforementioned house upgrades would contribute towards a house’s house tax every 45 days similar to storage upgrades. Change Remove the ability for the Blackfish (Vehicle Transport) to load BlackWater/Airdrop Vehicles until they are claimed. - Denied in favor of the fuel change Reasoning: The APD does not have a vehicle that can effectively counter the Blackfish due to its speed. Reduce Blackfish total fuel by 33%. Reduce Blackfish (Vehicle Transport) fuel by an additional 50% when transporting a vehicle. Reasoning: Prevents the Blackfish from being able to be airborne for a significant amount of time, allowing the opportunity for players to attempt to catch up with the Blackfish, or locate the Blackfish. A Blackfish (Vehicle Transport) transporting a vehicle is carrying extra weight so this should be reflected in fuel consumption. Remove the ability to sling the HEMTT Transport Covered. - The price increase compared to the HEMTT Box is not enough to compensate for the benefit of being able to fit into the federal reserve dome and have the same storage. As well a weight decrease would result in the box becoming useless as the HEMTT Transport Uncovered can already be slinged for just 200 less base weight when compared to the HEMTT Box. Reasoning: The HEMMT Transport Covered holds the same weight as a HEMMT Box (which cannot be slinged) and is currently able to be slinged. This is obviously a significant amount of weight that the vehicle can carry and far surpasses all other vehicles that can be slinged. Reduce Vigilante bounty payout by 50% for bounties that are restrained within 500m of a DMV. Eg. Vigilante restrains someone in Athira Square, upon sending the player to jail at a Vigilante Outpost they would receive 50% less money for the bounty. Reasoning: Vigilantes camping major cities preventing civs (especially newer players) from being able to regear after respawning is an issue. This has the domino effect of that player not getting the gear they need to conduct whatever activity they so choose resulting in less content on the server. Increase vehicle pull price after being impounded by APD/RnR. Vehicles will not incur a fee if retrieved from an impound yard at a hospital Vehicle Impound Fee for Vehicle Type. Car (Hatchback - SUV) - $5k Small Truck (Flatbed - Zamak) - $10k Large Truck (Tempest - Hemmt) - $15k Small Heli (M900 - Hummingbird) - $10k Medium Heli (Orca - Hellcat) - $15k Large Heli (Mohawk - Taru) - $20k Reasoning: This is an additional tax for players that do not store their vehicle, incentivizing players to store their vehicle, or be essentially charged by the state for not doing so. Change bomb defuse to a scroll wheel action. Remove bomb defuse kit. Reasoning: Quality of life update that removes the requirement to access y-inventory to attempt to defuse a bomb. Senior RnR Add Deny by APD option on dispatch - It's really not hard to tell that the 3rd party is the APD when you're dead; if there's a need to give the player more details, send a text message It helps let other medics & civilians know that APD denies them. Medic Delivery Crate missions “S&R+” - Let's fix medic DP missions instead. Requiring they carry a crate that'll cost them money if it's not delivered will make them far more invested in the mission and less likely to want to divert for a revive. This could be something for medics to do when we have downtime while playing. Similar to plane missions the medic would sling a crate from Hospitals and APD stations for money. They could pay between 60k-125k based on the distance traveled. The ability for medics to save a vehicle that's been destroyed If they can respond fast enough, medics will be able to windows key burning wreckage and try to save it. If the medic is able to save the vehicle it will return to the owner's garage with basic insurance if it had any insurance or with none if it did not have any. This can have medics moving around a bit more and give them the opportunity to interact more with the Civilians and APD. Medic can earn from 15k-50k based on the vehicle saved. One minute drowning immunity after getting revived underwater. This QOL change can help civilians make it to the surface of the water. Change Fuel can to be unlimited like the tow & sling (only for medic) Making it unlimited will help medics help the civilians if they forget to buy another can of gas and the civ is stuck in the middle of nowhere. Give Dope to the windows key instead of the scroll wheel. This QOL feature will make it easier for medics to give dopamine. Fix Xi’an bug - We'll try, but no promises A temp fix for this until Bohemia fixes this is to have the group leader issue the “Stop” command and it fixes the issue for Xi'an and blackfish fliers. Remove Vehicle animations for the Orca and hellcat. (only for medic) Another QOL change to help medics get in and out of their vehicles faster to provide medical service

Civilian Rework SWAT. @ doctor doom Remove APD Requirement. Rework Senior SWAT. Senior SWAT are not enforcing rules. Sergeant Rank should be restructured to a merit based promotion for players who have experience & lead (like Corporal on S1) Allow LT+ to accept applications. The current system only allows @ Caden to accept SWAT applications. The current system is gatekeeping a dying faction. Should allow a lower standard of acceptance in order to increase SWAT roster/ skill. Willing to establish a new alternative metric for application evaluation. Factors: Ban History within previous month of application. Conquest Time/ Experience. Community Standing: (Whitelists including APD, Support, CC, etc.). Results: [1] The official requirement for deputy will be dropped, however, it will still be up to Sr SWAT's discretion to determine who can be accepted into SWAT (including, but not limited to the factors listed below). Ie, players with excessive conquest experience and clean ban history should be accepted, but @ Caden will still retain the ability to deny applications for players that appear unfit for the role. There may be additional discussion on this point with Head CC & Caden to further settle on something agreeable. Changes to application metrics have already been established internally. Cartels Drug Cartel Perk/ Value Changes @ WALT Owning the Drug Cartel automatically speeds up processing to 50% processing bonus for Meth & Moonshine. Owning the Drug Cartel automatically processes Weed, Cocaine, Heroin, & Mushroom to double processed, instead of the current two cycle process for drugs. Incentives Fights & Incentivizes Illegal Runs Change the current drug cartel tax system @ WALT Instead of taxing sales, tax processing instead. Value is determined based on individual drugs at a max flat rate. Reason for Denial: [1] There is already a speed buff when owning the cartel, along with many other benefits (eg tax on sales, passive income, etc). [2] Seeing lots of opposition to this; if you want to buff cartels, I don't think this is the way to go about it. Especially considering that someone doing runs isn't going to be able to consistently pivot to cartel fighting. Overall, this probably wouldn't have a huge impact on cartels but could significantly harm runs. Scats Suicide Vest Rule Change. @ Pol Suicide vests can now be used to kill restrained players. If the APD or the Hostage takers group, spots a tagged gang member from said group with a suicide vest on they can KOS. Players can already crossfire with a Grenade and such + contradicting statements from staff makes it unclear whether you can crossfire with a vest or not, this rule change is healthy as the vest alone is expensive, rarely used, and give much need clarification on grey area. Rule Change - Chapter 15: Explosive Items: Suicide vests may be used at any time following normal roleplay rules. Misuse of suicide vests to kill restrained players or destroy vehicles for no reason may still result in administrative action. Suicide vests may be used to kill restrained gang & group members. APD & players holding said player in restraints may KOS spotted gang member wearing a suicide vest. Reason for Denial: [1] See @ David Miller's response outlining what you can and cannot do; it's almost already allowed, but with some constraints to force a little bit of roleplay. Runs Move Platinum Processor to a new & location. @ TroyOGG Players who participate in run, want a better & safer spot for processing. Due to long travel distance & low pay from platinum, it seems justified. Reason for Denial: [1] Already changed recently, also no reason to further buff legal runs at this current time. https://gyazo.com/92351982985ff66371194a34956c2e7e Feds Add RPG-42 to Blackwater Loot Table. @ doctor doom Item is to be set as "Ultra Rare" Reasoning: [1] Was added as a new dynamic item for the Blackwater loot pool, to give a new rare item to the civilian arsenal. Add Verona to Blackwater Loot Table @ doctor doom Item is to be set as "Ultra Rare" Limit range on Verona to "2 Kilometers" amount. Reason for Denial: Wire guided ground missiles have no place in a life server. Pharma Changes: @ Big John1 Change 85% Drop Off -> 50% Drop Off Create a 200% Pharmaceutical Drop-Off near Pygros. Reasoning: [1] Changes were established because the 85% Drop Off is highly uncontested for both APD & Civilians, leading to this event to be too easy and a money farm for civilians. Therefore, nerfing 85% and adding a 200% Drop-Off will add to the dynamic of pharma for both Civilians & APD. The 200% location will be located near Pygros, so it won't be an easy "cop out" option. Remove CMR from Patrol Officers. @ Big John1 Too overpowered for the ability for all patrol officers to use. Reason for Denial: [1] Gun is not widely used, and there is no valid reason for weapon to be removed from Patrol Officers. Limit APD to 2 Striders per wave at Federal Events. @ Big John1 Only limiting total number of striders pulled for Federal Events, this does not include Hunters. Too much smoke & smoke fighting at Federal Events Reason for Denial: [1] There are circumstances where this may make sense, but others where it does not. If re-proposed, there should be some included bounds where this is applicable (ie, escalation parameters). Additionally, the current fed stats are learning in the favor of civilians, so it's probably not an optimal time to make this change. Increase time to search red zones for APD from 15 Minutes -> 20 Minutes. @ virus Rule Change will be in effect from June 26th and rolled back on July 25th. WPL bonus will be nerfed 5% ( 20% -> 15%) Some illegal processers will receive changes to be more defendable in the August Update. Reasoning: [1] Currently APD numbers are at an all time high, while the percentage of illegal runs being completed is decreasing. We need a reason for players to do more illegal runs, which is why a smaller risk for players to complete these runs are the best way to go about the change to cater to current server population. Rule change is being assessed through a trial period, to determine if illegal run productivity is increased, with that being said WPL bonus was determined to be nerfed with change by 5%. With this change it was determined to buff processers locations for illegal runs, to maker runs easier to defend rather than being a sitting duck waiting to be robbed. RNR Rule Restricting amount of medics that can be taken for a Federal Event The number of medics allowed to be taken would go on the number of medics online. 1-3 Medics Online (Hostages Max 1) 4-5 Medics Online (Hostages Max 2) 6+ Medics Online (Hostages Max 3) Reasoning: [1] This will help maintain the ability for other players to still be revived across the island when there's an active federal event. This should significantly reduce the number of complaints that Senior R&R receive of “Medic didn’t revive me” // “I bled out, and the medic didn’t even move” //. R&R Enter As Co-pilot Simple QOL change; allows medics to enter as copilot without unlocking their helicopter. APD Weapon seizure gives 10% of weapon value split between all APD Officers in the area. Eg. An APD Officer seizing an MK-1 ($125k) would receive a split of $12.5k. Reasoning: [1] APD Officers receive money for seizing virtual illegal items and this should be no different for illegal/charge permitting seizure weapons. A 10% value of the weapon is a reasonable amount of money for disposing of an illegal/charge permitting seizure weapon. Rare weapon item seizure prices are to be evaluated further. Flares and Radar notification to Hummingbird. The Hummingbird is already an exposed vehicle that is not difficult to shoot down. The lack of flares and radar means it has no counter to titans. Reason for Denial: [1] It was determined that their is no reason to add flares for the same reason that vanilla Arma does not include flares on Hummingbirds. It is determined if you wish to have flares on Heli, players should just have to pay for an upgrade for a vehicle that has flares, rather than go cheap and risk being titaned. Perks of paying high value for said protection. Also it was seen as an issue for players that bench snipe, it would give them too much of an advantage. Black, Dazzle and Olive Hummingbird variants for SGT+ for patrol. The Hummingbird is already an exposed vehicle that is not difficult to shoot down. This adds additional varients for SGT+ to utilize for patrol. Reason for Denial: [1] APD Vehicles shall have APD textures; if you don't like your current texture; please work with texture design to get a new one. Ifrit to Active Captain+ Limited to utilizing one Ifrit on the server at a time. Adds an additional armoured vehicle to the APD arsenal. This is balanced due to it only being accessible by Active Captain+ and limited to only being able to utilize one Ifrit on the server at a time. Reason for Denial: [1] Ifrits will not be added to the APD outside of SWAT; additionally, captain was justified as a whitelist with perks no different than LT as a bridge between LT and deputy chief, we intend to uphold this decision. Mushroom converted to illegal item. Cow Manure Field changes to a redzone. Mushroom is a low risk run that is the only single field illegal run that the field is not illegal. Mushroom contributes a significant amount of money to the economy and needs to have additional risk. Reason for Denial: [1] Diversity in runs is good; if you think mushrooms are too strong given their situation, a price of distance change would be more appropriate. Increase Ghillie Suit price. Marksmen $10k -> $25k Rat Ghillie (non-marksman DLC) $10k -> $15k Reasoning: [1] Obscures player's names at close distances providing a considerable advantage for a currently negligible price. Increase bullet damage to tires by 30%. Tires currently take a more than reasonable amount of bullets to shoot out tires on vehicles. Increasing damage to tires makes it easier for everyone to disable vehicles rather than being forced to attempt to pit. Reason for Denial: [1] Many tires are already very easy to destroy, especially with the resources already at the APD's disposal. Remove armour stacking on server 1, convert to Conquest System. CSAT/Granit would only be able to be worn with a tier 2 vest. Pilot Coveralls (only obtainable from Federal Events/Airdrop) would still be able to be worn with any tier vest. Solution: Granit's in-shop are not stackable with t3+ Remove one variant of granits from warpoint shop and make item event exclusive like pcovs. Reasoning: [1] Players are able to wear granits which are reasonably low priced for the considerable amount of protection they provide, paired with a tier 3 or higher vest which in the case of the tier 3 is purchasable for a low price. This turns players into bullet sponges and causes a significant disparity compared to a majority of the APDs armour and the armour of newer or less war orientated players. Solution was created to make granits less accessible and more expensive. APD Escort Vehicle spawns tier 4. Reasoning: [1] The APD escort vehicle spawning tier 0 means it is sluggish to drive. Changing the vehicle spawn to tier 4 mirrors how the Blackwater vehicles spawn. There will be a maximum number of 2/3/4 Qilin/Prowlers per small/ medium/ large APD escort. Reasoning: [1] This was originally added to the APD Handbook when the APD Escort Event was first added to limit the number Qilins/Prowlers that the APD utilizes during the event. Since the event has been added and APD Officers have conducted the event a considerable number of civilians usually attempt to stop the event to get the high value loot from the vehicle. Due to the number of civilians and the gear that they use attempting to counter the event it is no longer felt limiting Qilins/Prowlers vehicles is necessary. You can find the roster for the @Head Civilian Council here. As always you can find details on how to apply here:
-
General Revert back to Rain Weather System @ anti Remove Fog Weather System. Re-skin of Monthly Conquest Wetsuit @ ArX Reasoning: [1] Majority selected that the rain weather cycle should be brought back with the removal of fog. As seen through popular opinion and forums polls. [2] Conquest players would like a reskin of the monthly conquest wetsuit, since the current one has been the same for ages. Cartels Weekend Airdrop Event in Warzone @ Nephew Would occur on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 9PM EST (after conquest ends). 2 Airdrops on Server 1 that occur in Warzone. Both spawn at same time. Spawns at random points within warzone. Airdrops would include 1 Vehicle Airdrop & 1 Gear Airdrop. Gear would have a higher percentage of better gear including (Mar-10, Zafir, T5, etc.) APD may wave in with a maximum of 8 members. APD may have two waves. APD may utilize 3 armored vehicles such as (Striders & Hunters). Incentivizes Server 3 players to log on Server 1. Best Fights for airdrop events occurred in Warzone before it was removed. Reasoning: Cartel players would like to bring back warzone airdrops with a new twist. With this event the goal is to increase s1 player population with a more appealing attempt to bring s3 players onto the main server for incentivized fights in warzone. Some details may differ in final implementation to make development easier. Scats Add Confirmation/ Checkmark before storing vehicles that have Y-Inventory/ Gear in vehicle inventory @ SPBojo Turtle Poaching Buff @ TapTap Ability to collect/ poach turtles anywhere on map, in the water except within 1.5km of any Turtle Dealer. Alternative if Denied: Increase % of Turtle Spawn signigantly in Turtle Poaching Red-Zones. Reasoning: [1] Addition helps specifically newer players: goal is to prevent players from accidentally losing gear/ resources upon storage. [2] Buff was denied due to the lack of risk for turtle poaching, with would prove too overpowered for profit margins. Alternative is not easily possible to develop. Runs Delivery Mission Nerf @ Fayrel Change payout: so money is rewarded on hand, rather than straight to players bank account. Would work like current Plane Delivery Mission System. Add Gang Vehicles Garage to Olympus Stats Page Database @ TapTap Would be located under players specific gang page. Rank 2+ can view. Reasoning: [1] Profit margins for delivery missions were the highest run on the server, delivery mission were nerfed slightly to increase risk. Change reflects current style of plane deliveries. [2] Added so gangs can see gang vehicles on stats page. Vigis Vigilante Shop Additions/ Price Changes @ Sir Rebral Palsy Prowler added to Tier 4 Vigilante. SparGL Smoke Grenade Price Reduction $10,000 -> $800-$1000 Reason: currently overpriced/ not used. Add Multicam/ MTP Camo Fatigues to Vigilante Clothing Shop If possible add most rebel "base clothing" items to Vigilante Clothing Shop, excluding ghillie suits. Add Hunter to Tier 5 Vigilante Can only be purchased with proposed "Renown" Points. Price: 20 "Renown" Points + $400,000. Locked to Vigilante Hunter Skin. Reasoning: [1] Prowler was added to tier 4 to give lower ranked vigilantes a more versatile vehicle that isn't as overpowered. [2] Price reduction was added for SPARGL since it's currently overpriced and underused. [3] Added more uniforms for vigi, to give more camo and a larger variety of clothing for vigilantes to choose from. [4] Postponed, until initial implementation of renown points before further expanding it. Feds Rule Change regarding APD @ anti Change so APD cannot seize weapons/ illegal gear until being processed at the APD HQ properly, or if detainee volunteers to be processed on site. Although rule change was denied: items seized will have a 15% of gear being placed in Evidence Locker. Remove 30 Minute Timer on Dope Shots @ monster Allows the use of dope shots to be used all the time. Alternative if denied: Reduce Timer to 15 Minutes. Rule Change regarding APD @ rabid Remove rule regarding: inner ring guns Hot after bomb blows for BW GROUND VEHICLES ONLY (rule is highlighted) https://imgur.com/fw52YU2 Rule Change regarding R&R @ rabid Medics who choose to willingly enter an illegal area to answer a call cannot be killed unless they are properly engaged. However, all medics must READ AND UNDERSTAND the Exception as well as the Special Circumstances listed below: Exception: Medic GROUND UNITS (ONLY) are Shoot Kill-On-Sight at Cartels, War Zone, Rebels, at active Federal Events (Jailbreak/Federal Reserve Robbery/Blackwater Robbery), Active Banks and Active Blue Zones. Air units must still be engaged or sufficiently warned. Land vehicles, amphibious vehicles, medics on foot, and pilots who decide to land at these locations are all considered ground units. Reasoning: This will prevent APD from lethaling medics without two non-lethal attempts. Buff Blackwater Loot Table @ monster Reason: Players tired of receiving low-value rewards for the difficult event. Remove Items Listed in pictures (with red X) https://imgur.com/3uzWtxf https://i.imgur.com/SJfjNQv.png Buff Federal Reserve Gold @ monster Minimum Gold Spawned: 200 -> 300 Maximum Gold Spawned: 400 -> 500 Reason: Incentivize gangs to do more federal reserve robberies, creating more consistent content on Server 1. Reasoning: [1] Rule change didn't deem necessary for change due to popular opinion, considered situational and usually gear is only seized during priority events/ situations. Although it was denied gear will now have a chance of being added to evidence locker loot pool when seized upon current restart. [2] Denied, due to making gear hard to lost and causing players to not utilize medics. Also make federal events signigantly less dynamic. [3] Agreement was made for ground vehicles at BW, due to the inability for gangs to properly get ground vehicles out of inner rings because of difficulty and current loss percentage of BW. [4] Denied since it's players responsibility to keep medics alive for said events, and is deemed the players fault if medic is unproperly protected resulting in medics death. [5] BW loot tables will be reassessed, and some low-value gear available at rebel will be removed from loot table. Some good items will have increased % of spawn rates (titans, taser mk-1s, envgs, etc.) will run simulations to get a better sample size of the spawn rates to figure out restructure. [6] Federal Reserve statistics are in a pretty good place and increasing rewards will just lead to larger stacks. Does not need to be further adjusted. RNR Add Recovery Tow Truck Jobs - Revisit from past roundtable Medic talks to Impound Yard NPC and requests a broken car recovery mission. Responding rescue personnel recovers the vehicle and transports to the impound yard for impound cash. Options for Small / Large Broken-Down-Car Jobs Small missions spawn a SUV Large Missions spawn a Qilin. Vehicle spawns within 1 KM of the medic. Can only do one at a time (No cluttering server objects). Steps to prevent abuse: Make them not lock-pickable to prevent abuse from pirates/looters. The vehicle is disabled to prevent Medics from driving the car to impound yards. Reasoning: Significant development lift for miniscule content for a small group of people; additionally, even if medics are dropping these to go to calls, having to drive a HEMETT 1km to get heli back is not ideal. Perm tow hook Only need to carry one & can use it as many times as you want Price would need to be adjusted to be higher Item barely gets used, and when it is, it can be highly inconvenient to have to buy another for such a menial task Larger Backpack Invisible Bergen already exists; allows medics to fully carry dive gear (suit, rebreather AND googles) / extra equipment Northern Hospital This Would help Jr. Medics (Basic & EMT) respond to northern requests quicker, when there are no ADV + Online Establishes an additional nexus for the R&R to use in facilitating any duties in the vicinity Add timestamp to map dispatch markers Allows medics to easily see timers for important messages sent through dispatches I.e. Medic dispatch saying "Medic don't revive anyone here or die". A timer next to the dispatch icon on the map will let medics know exactly how close their 5 minute engagement time is to being over to re-approach the location. Reasoning: [1] Perm tow hooks are to be cross faction & permanent y-item which doesn't get removed after use. [2] Allows for larger storage for all necessary RNR on the job equipment. [3] New hospital allows for easier access to northern part of the map, will help increase efficient revives within that sector of the map. [4] Allows medics to have easier access to timetables for situational initiations and events. Change Denied color - if requested denial If someone has requested denial then the denied color goes to red, would prefer to go to a different shade of orange to show that they are denied because they requested it This would help show the reason why someone is denied, and help deter people revving people that have requested denial Change Medic rank icons above medics heads to help differentiate between the ranks. Example of type of icons https://i.gyazo.com/98a9bc192140fdea8800cdcc058bbd20.png Reasoning: [1] Allows for more efficient denials for players. [2] Helps players identify medic ranks, much like APD rank icons. APD Add: $100k minimum lethal payout in WarZone. The $100k would still be split between all APD Officers within the radius of the lethal. Reasoning: When lethaling in WarZone civs do not necessarily have high bounties (or have already been lethal'd) to cover cost of the death of an APD Officers in WarZone. $100k covers some money towards that death if a lethal is obtained. The ability to deploy smoke from the Strider driver seat. Reasoning: Not easily developable due to the way Arma works, also not hard to just switch seats in a Strider. Change: 7.62 suppressor from uncommon to rare at the Evidence Locker. Reasoning: The 7.62 suppressor is supposed to be a rare item and with the current spawn rate it is fairly common to acquire at the Evidence Locker. Drop the road kit from Corporal+ to Patrol Officer+. Rule Change: Corporal+ Patrol Officer+ can utilize road kits. Reasoning: Denied due to performance concerns by @ Fraali Increase the minimum amount of cops for no wave at Jail from 5 to 7 & for evidence locker 5 to 10 (at least until Jail and Evidence Locker are split). Rule Change: If 5 7 or less officers are online during a Jailbreak, wave rule is not required. If 5 10 or less officers are online during a Evidence Lockup, wave rule is not required. Reasoning: As can be seen from the stats civs have been conducting a good amount of Jails with the intent of doing Evidence Lockers to obtain the gear. A majority of these have been won by the civ meaning a vast amount of gear has been obtained and is now in circulation. Obviously with the Jail being on an island it is difficult to push and this is reflected in the stats, this change will hopefully help with those stats.
