Så satt lite igår med arma 3 editorn o pillade som några av er såg då jag streamade allt! Men för er som inte såg något av det jag gjorde så lägger jag upp ett album med lite bilder här!
Inget av det är bestämt att komma in på servern ännu, men vill dock visa er spelare vad vi i adminteamet håller på med osv. Förslag på förbättringar och ideér o liknande skulle vara starkt välkommet!- v.pUTIN, Alderfeldt, VisionPie and 1 other

Om ni fortsätter med pajkastartävlingen så kommer jag återigen att låsa tråden, så försök att diskutera på en normal nivå framöver.

I'll try and contact Lucky and ask him about this whole situation, will lock the thread until a verdict have been decided on.

CvG Meetup confirmed!
Ni som ska dit får gärna komma förbi och säga hallå!
Som sagt så är det bara att svänga förbi vårat lilla admin-corner när ni nu vill! Skulle även vara relativt fett att snacka om idéer och liknande till servern med er under perioden vi är där.

With the evidence posted we have decided to ban both [bB]-kalle and [bB]-Mike for combatlogging(exploiting).
The verdict is as followed: 24h ban for both players.
LOCKED

A minority of you may know who I am and what I've done on this server, but for you who don't here's an introduction.
My name is Alfons "Hysteria" Warg, I'm 20 years old and live in Stockholm. Together with a GW and a few other friends we started the CvGaming altis life server as a minor joke in late July of 2014. But it quickly escalated into something we hadn't even thought of. I was at the time the map editor, community manager and the one fixing the balance on the server.
Fast-forward a bit until October where CvGaming reached its prime when it came to playerbase and active players on the server. This was the time where GW and me still manually restarted the server every 4 hours, we were 2 head-admins running a server that was popping 90 players on most days. Which of course was extremely exhausting both physically and mentally, and since I had some personal and private issues at the time as well I decided to step down as an admin and focus on other stuff instead.
Even tho I left the server, I never completely left CvGaming. I have a ton of friends in this community that I would never dream of just withdrawing out of my life.
In the beginning of May I started to realize that the server wasn't doing as good as it used too. There were tons more negative posts on the forums than usual. The server population had drastically gone down, and the active players had gone from a dispersion of all sorts of groups to almost only major gangs and official factions. I decided that since the private matters where fixed and I was still jobless this was something I could put time into and actually try and fix. So I contacted Goatis (shoutout to you my friend) and told him about what I was thinking. This then escalated to me personally discussing several matters with the majority of the admin-staff.But now today I can officially anounce that I have rejoined the CvGaming staff and oh'boy you are all about to see some major changes by us when it comes to server balance and map-layout! I will personally jump around in TS asking about your own opinions about content and such, which is the way I was doing it before. I believe in a server run by the players, not purely by the admins.
Wish me luck!
Fun fact: CvGamings altis life server would've never existed if I didnt rob GW of his hemtt box on secret one! I later felt guilty about dong it so the group I was playing with (Pyaht and Billy Bob, all former admins) gave GW a free weapon, invited him to skype and started to farm cocaine with him. -
GW personally asked me to post here, so here we go, sorry this won't be concise.
Currently on the server the civilian role isn't healthy and fun enough for players to stick with it. They usually try and join one of the current two factions at the first and best opportunity they get. It's quite understandable and obvious that this is standard behavior, but presently the magnitude of this trend is way above of what's vigorous. This results in a buttload of problems both in the actual game and on the forums a.e.- Not enough vanilla civilians* which in turn lessens the roleplay for the major factions on the server.
By vanilla civilians i mean players who have no sort of affiliation with a gang or any sort of faction. They usually stick to themself or stay in a friend group of 2-4 while playing.
These players have a vital role for the roleplay on the server since they offer small chitchat oppurtunities for players to discuss random topics inside of the game. Also since they have no sort of connection to any of the banditry focused gangs or the rebels they are seen as neutral by the police, which make the officers more willing to roleplay with them, since they aren't as afraid of getting killed or robbed.Vanilla civlians are also the ones farming the activitys that pay less a.e. Copper, oil, sand, apples and peaches to name a few. This is because gangs usually have the funds to farm the more expensive stuff a.e. Cocaine, Heroin, Weed and Slaves etc etc. Which brings us to the next issue.
- Several activitys on the server aren't used since there's no reason to actually take the time to do them.
As stated above, the gangs of the server have the funds to do, for the most part, whatever they want. So there's no reason what so ever to farm minor activities which leaves them abandoned and unwanted. Since there's no one using these activities then there's no reason to have them on the server, no?
This is where the two latest concerns relate. Without vanilla civilians, some activities won't be used, but without things for the civilians to do then there's no reason for them to stick around. But since the amount of content that is currently on the server is quite high, then why aren't the civilians sticking around? With that question I bring you problem number three.- The balancing on the server is ridiculously one sided towards the rebels and non-official factions*.
Being a rebel is really cool and fun, the roleplay is better, the guns are bigger and your funds are near infinity. The rebels can farm weed basically whenever they want. They have almost no reason to be scared for bandits/robbers, which makes it incredibly safe for them to farm it. Which in turn makes their wallets the most fat and delicious wallets on the server. So if they die, the lose nothing more than their pride and respect.
Police on the other hand have to go off-duty and farm like a vanilla civilian with constant threats from everywhere. But when the server itself is on primetime, they aren't allowed to play off-duty. But they can't play as a solid cop without the money to buy all the necessities needed. So they either go farm with a fake nick, so that they can actually play on prime time, but this isn't accepted at all and have the possibilty for the officer to be dismissed from the force if admins or higher ranked police members find out.
A non-official faction is a group of players that have self-proclaimed an area of the map to be their own and have the amount of active players to actually "patrol" around that area stopping vehicles that trespass, examples are: Scrub Club, Cv-Droghandel, The Underdogs and Los Zetas. These groups of players have come as close to rebels as they can get without actually joining the official rebel faction. They have the money to buy the big guns and the big vehicles. They have the amount of players to for the most part safely farm all the high paying activitys they desire. But most importantly, they are frequently very hostile against other players.
All in all all of this added together creates an environment that's not that fun and interesting for vanilla civilians and newer players. Rebels are overpowered so you can't do anything against them without being completely rekked (Nerf Bobbi R), police aren't well equipped enough to be a threat towards the rebels or the non-official factions and the non-official factions themselves are running such a big part of the map that there's nowhere to earn money safely. With all of this said, it leaves us with the last matter that I will bring up in this post.- Loads of non-proffesional posts and applies on the forums.
This isn't that big of an issue, but it's still work that has to be done by either the admins or the higher ranked police officers. Work takes time, and that time could've been used to create or do something better and more important. This subject knits us with the first issue I talked about. That players don't want to play as vanilla civilians and flood the forums with applies or questions regarding what he or she should do to have more fun on the server.
TL;DR : There's a lot that could be added to the server, but if it hurts the civilians even more i doubt it would be worth adding it. The civilians needs a shot at making it big, they need more overall power on the server and this is only obtained by slowly balancing the server in their favor. We also need to change this quite quickly since there's not enough of a playerbase in that area to justify having all of the current farming options on the server since most of them will just be abandoned anyways. So we could at the moment just remove them to improve on server performance and being able to remove such content without major drawbacks is a bad thing.I know a lot of people in the playerbase will object when i say this but the powerlevel of the rebels and non-official factions needs to be toned down, a lot.

Completely unnecessary to add a passive-aggressive "fniss" when commenting about me hitem.
BTT, I won't be at birdie since I got other stuff to do!

Din applikation ser lovande ut och vi skulle gärna vilja att du kontaktar någon av följande poliser på TS, D. Johnson, A. Hamilton, R. Wolvengaard eller P. Hudson. Lycka till!

Jag skulle gärna att du testade vara medic i några fler speltimmar så vi kan se hur du spelar och att du visar att du kan beté dig seriöst inom en tjänst

You can already put in the go-karts in the air-garage ^^

It's a good idea that i can look into further. The problem is that all the interactive items around the map (certain signs or AI) got code written into their INIT. I unfortunately do not know how to put these items with their INIT's into the store. If i knew, this feature would probably already be on the server!

Som Kebre sa så är detta inte något vi kan fixa utan problem. Problemet ligger i själva fysikmotorn Arma 3 använder, vilket gör att det desvärre är omöjligt att fixa det just nu!

En riktigt bra idé riizeyy!
Kan ta upp detta med resten av admins samt högt rankade polismedlemmar, för att se vara deras åsikter är också.

@Afriel/Jonasp De vita sakerna är helikopterplattor som är till för att landa på
@A.Karlsson/SavaGG Situation ligger till exakt som Afriel förklarade. Gamla scriptet fungerar inte med AL 4.0 och det betyder att vi måste vänta på PP så att han kan scripta nytt.
@Goliat Tänk på att den vänstra sidan av checkpointen är det som Rebellerna kommer vara i, medans den högra är där civs kommer köra igenom. Så allt som allt så är den "effektiva" checkpointen inte så mycket större än den som finns på servern idag. Dessutom behöver Rebcheckpointen få ett ansiktslyft, då den inte är tillräckligt skräckinjagande atm. Samt cargotornet vid Kavala checkpoint är där så att de som tagit över checkpointen (må det vara polis/rebell eller civ) skall kunna på något ätt kunna se över väggarna. Eftersom ytan runtomkring checkpointen har stora kullar så är det ett stort disadvantage att vara i checkpointen om inte cargotornet funnits. Anledning varför HQ't ligger där det gör är för att större delen av de nya spelarna håller sig runtom Kavala, därmed behövs polisen i närheten för att hålla det i ordning.
@Wirre Det är lite av grejen med den nya Kavala checkpointen. Vi vill att det ska vara en inofficiell "capturable zone" som civs och mindre gängs drar sig till för att hitta lite rp-fokuserad action. Jag kommer personligen ihåg att jag tyckte att checkpointsen på secret one var det bästa med hela servern!
