Cartels
Server 1 Hot Zone Event: POSTPONED @ WALT
Event occurs once per restart if player pop is above 100 All gangs notified 10 minutes before event start
Pot starts at 10 Mil - pot generation is from BOTH gear purchased at rebels and drugs sold during the event
Single Zone / Point consists of a randomized pool of locations consisting of all current Altis conquest points, cartels, and black markets.
Event runs off a time-based system similar to gang base. To capture the hot zone, you must capture the flag (takes 30 seconds to capture).
First gang to capture a hot zone for 60 minutes wins the event.
Pot is divided amongst the top 3 gangs:
1st: 50% of pot
2nd: 35% of pot
3rd: 15% of pot
No NLR within the Hot Zone.
Event will not have a rebel that you can spawn at. You will have to get geared like normal and then go back to the event.
No armed aerial vehicles / explosive ground vehicles with the exception of the .50 cal
Vigi’s aren’t allowed to tase / retrain players participating in the event zone
APD will follow Air Drop rules for responding
Idea was postponed for the time being. Current server events such as Gang Base need to be fixed / re-evaluated before we add new events. The goal of the idea was to produce an event that would spawn in allowing for short-duration, no NLR fights similar to Conquest, but on server 1.
Change to Contesting a Cartel: PASSED @ jmcan
If a group outnumbers another by 3 to 1, the cap will no longer be fully contested
Once 3 to 1 is reached, you will be able to cap / de-cap at 50% the normal speed
This is intended to make cartel fighting faster paced and to limit players ability to exploit / hide and prevent a larger group from capping
The Civilian Council wanted to further expand on the previous roundtable where we made changes to cartels. The continued goal is to focus cartels more on fighting rather than the money making aspect. This change is intended to keep gangs offensive on cap, prevents players from camping the flagpole through contesting, and benefits the groups who are putting more players into the zone.
Runs
3 Stage Legal Run: PASSED @ xxdausxx
https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1GJnDyxFHy6T4W1lZxiib4EwozjqhhuziTp4GbgRrh5w/edit
Once all pro’ed ingredients are collected, players will need to go to the foundry to process the rare alloy (Foundry could be at old coke pro but we are open to all ideas for location)
Would receive the workers protection sell increase
This intended to be a legal gang run comparable to meth and moonshine
The run was envisioned to be a legal gang run comparable to Meth and Moonshine. Through coordination and group effort, gangs will be able to conduct this run with no fear of APD intervention while also receiving comparable compensation. Changes may be made to the run before it reaches Server 1 (such as ingredients) as testing will be conducted beforehand to ensure the run is not overpowered / underpowered.
Gang Shed Activity Requirement: PASSED @ xxdausxx
A gang that owns a gang shed will need to meet two criteria to maintain it:
5 active members per month
10 accumulative hours for all gang members
This is intended to stop dead / inactive gangs from keeping a valuable gang shed by forcing the gang to meet a set number of hours and players per month
The logic for this change is the following:
increase gang tax => harm smaller/newer gangs, no change for inactive old gangs
add activity requirement => harm inactive gangs, no change for "semi-active" people
Vigis
Advanced Zip Ties: @ Falco @ duanty_lake_23
Reinforced zip ties PASSED
10k per
Needs lockpicks or bolt cutters to unrestrain
Restrain time reduced to 10 minutes
GPS zip ties DENIED
15k per
Restrain time reduced to 10 minutes
Only the Vigi that put on the zip ties can see the location of the restrained player
While the reinforced zip ties were approved, it was felt that the GPS zip ties were not necessary. The potential impact they could have on balance or their limited use was deemed not currently worth the effort of implementation.
Scats
Warpoints for Terror: PASSED @ SPBojo @ Murder Taxi Driver
The gang /group that started the terror will receive warpoints while in the terror zone
Will only receive warpoints for killing geared players (5.56 and up)
Should result in an increase in the number of terrors done
Intended to give an actually incentive to doing terror’s rather then just killing nakeds in Kavala.
Scavenger Hunt: PASSED @ SPBojo @ MBPslyr
For every update a new scavenger hunt will start with clues in the update log for all 3 locations
Each location will have a placed item you can interact with that gives you a 2-digit grid, e.x. 11 at point 1, 10 at point 2, 25 at point 3
After finding all 3 locations, the player will need to combine the 6 numbers and determine the right grid location, e.x. 112510,111025,101125,102511, 251011,251110
To complete the scavenger hunt, a player must windows key an area with a pickaxe
The area will be 100m x 100m
Scavenger hunt payouts would be the following for the first few:
2.5 mill for first place
1 mill for 2nd to 10th place
Everyone else will get a message of “better luck next time”
Future Scavenger Hunt rewards could be BW gear and vehicles
This would be done at Development/Design's own rate, there shouldn't be an expectation of a new scavenger hunt every month. This will add a “passive event” allowing players to do something other than cops and robbers.

Feds
BW Changes: @ Masoooooooooon @ Farrell @ rabid
All exterior walls at blackwater can be destroyed (inner walls will still be indestructible) PASSED
Hesco’s below outer towers will be removed
Remove / change loot pool: DENIED
Promet SG – Remove
LIM-85 – Remove
MK200 – Remove
ENVG-II (Grey) from Ultra Rare to Rare
Suicide Vest – Remove
Ghillie Suit [CSAT] – Remove
Full Ghillie (Arid) [CSAT] – Remove
GA Carrier Lite (Digital) – Remove
5.8 Stealth Suppressor from Very Rare to Uncommon
5.56 Suppressor from Very Rare to Uncommon
ARCO Scope – Remove
MRCO Scope – Remove
RCO Scope – Remove
IR Laser Pointer – Remove
Allowing the exterior walls of BW to be destructible will allow for more dynamic fighting on the exterior of BW. Instead of holding the same angles for the whole event, players will have to be more aware of their surroundings while still limiting their exposure to the APD. To insure balance, the Hesco’s below the exterior towers will be removed, making any push up the towers a more coordinated attack. Changes to the BW loot pool were denied as any change would currently result in an unbalanced pool.
A 2 minute unseal timer added to APD Escorts: PASSED @ Masoooooooooon @ rabid
Scroll-wheel option
If cop enters vehicle it c//ancels
Increase to loot pool
Currently the event is slam-looted after the first wave ruining the fun of fighting for the event. This will allow APD to actually re-wave to the event. An increase to the loot pool was denied as the loot is already at a very high level compared to the work required to steal it.
APD Add:
Roadkits to Corporal+ PASSED
CPL+ will be used to test uses in roleplay and effects on performance but once complete will be moved to PO+.
Black MK200 to Active Captains+ DENIED
Kajman (Unarmed) to Active Dep Chief+ DENIED
Nerf glass so it is easier to penetrate
APD Dispatch Rewards PASSED
Civilian sends a dispatch as normal
APD responds to the dispatch and resolves the situation
An APD Officer can windows key the civ and there will be an option to “Accept Dispatch”, upon pressing “Accept Dispatch” the civ will receive a notification that they can accept or decline stating that the APD Officer responded to the dispatch
If the dispatch is accepted all nearby cops (same distance as sending to jail) will get a split of $50k
The intent is to encourage APD responding to Civ in distress in a timely manner.
Change:
Add Orcas back to Corporals PASSED
Only for Federal Events, Blue zones, Banks
A long and thorough conversation was had on this topic. Rather than completely denying the Orca to CPLs, it was agreed that CPLs will be able to use them in a limited capacity. The limiting factor preventing CPLs full access to the Orca is the reality that newer players and groups are unable to reliably counter the Orca, resulting in an unbalanced situation.
Players that have been tased have 3 / 1 second of invulnerability PASSED
Similar to how the tased animation worked previously the player would not take any damage from being shot
This was added to correct issues with the new taze animation. With this change, It will provide players a 1 second grace period to avoid killing a player in restraints.
Limiting the visual effects from using painkillers/heroin
You will still receive the benefits of the drug with not as excessive visual effects
APD Rule Changes
Remove wave cap for raiding Warzone if following individuals from a Federal Event / Vehicle airdrop PASSED
Increased to 7 waves with PC
Cartel Council was supportive of these changes allowing for more responses to APD as well as maintaining a hard wave limit. Additionally, with the addition of vehicle airdrops a change was needed to insure that Warzone was not abused as a safe haven.
POs able to raid the Airdrop PASSED
The Airdrop zone would be similar to WarZone with the automatic ability for PO/Deps to be able to scroll wheel load lethals so no Corporal+ would be required to authorize
With this POs will no longer have to wait on a CPL to go to an Airdrop and can autonomously participate/start airdrops.
