hitem

I haven't noticed any changes but are Wireless(The black one) the default theme now?

Yes, 'Wireless' is the new one.

Its set as default and all regular users have "community default" on their profiles. on the other hand, if you ever changed between them you have selected "ip.board" and wont notice the change and have to do it manually

it looks nice tho!

(maybe another color on "new post in this forum" button, some blueish).

Hej Hej Gimly!

Lycka till och hoppas du har många äventyr på vår Altis server!

Hett tips: Gäng och andra spelare hänger ofta på TS, det finns även en sektion för Civila som vill spela ihop!

Hello Luckiiee.

Thanks for an extended post. most delightful.

There are countless hours spent into mapbalancing and the last couple of weeks ive been playing (by myself) as a civilian over and over again to nail any imperfections.

I had a blast and everything worked very well, the ladder worked as intended and the cashflow expanded exponentialy (as intended).
The big issue i noticed tho was gangs robbing people, they had system for it with Scouts, Helicopters and 1-3 mobile teams. this is not map-balance related or similar, this is people who play this game alot or just enjoy being d*cks.

But as Altis Life is not ment to be grinded (there is not enough content in arma3 alone to grind it) there is a big gap where we have some people who just robb (because they have everything else). These people have forgotten the core value of RP and are just doing things they enjoy themself w/o thinking of the big picture.
 

As a result i have, the last week, been defending apple/peach farmers from Robbers. Granting new players a chance to get a car or two before encountering robb-galore. (As an Admin).
 

I also ran into NLA a couple of times and i did find it an issue with them showing up at the coppermine. Specially when it occures on the same timeframe everyday.
But there have been frequent meetings highlighting that they should not robb people, rather just have a propaganda tour and supply the people with goodies to shine some light on their agenda.
I was running with a new guy at this time and he was amazed to see the rebels for the first time, so in some occasions it gives a positive reaction to the new players but can be a hassle if you are doing copper alot. But its ment as alittle PR mission from the rebels side im sure. But as everyone else, they are not allowed to stay in one area for more then 15min. And i know we spoke about possible escort services in begining of Januari, on the other hand, i do not know if they are providing them yeat (/spoiler).

Alltho this is not the issue, the issue for me was regular civilians acting like asshats and robbing everything. Even killing me 8 times out of 10 when i did as i was told.
The rest i could manage with and it also created fun RP moments where i forgot about the apples i was picking and enjoy the conversation/happening.

The Cash was never an issue, i always succeeded in getting some cash everyday and made a goal on each and every playsession. But from a gamemechanic view Altis Life is about Cash in/out and RP-scenarios. Atm i felt like it was nailed. if there wasent any robbering that is .

Anyhows, thoughts and ideas! 

I love that you supplied possible solutions aswell, because as i always say (with a hint of "oh hitem, you so funny"):

Thanks again!
 

We will ofc bring them all with us for when its time to have a small Factionmeeting.

edit: Just want to add that we have had ideas like eventdays for new people (where admins protect and help the new once to get started) and/or leasing a gang as extra security during specific hours/days and such. Rehauling prices, locations, amount of fields/traders/processers for alternative routes, etc etc. We have had many thoughts on it and we are always greatfull for feedback, its our source ^^.

and yes, i moved your topic to the right subforum 'suggestion and feedback'

Yeah, if people feel really serious about their war and factionstanding maybe they will record their fights with shadowplay/fraps and enlighten us with a beautiful video

War accepted.

Let some steam out and please keep this thread updated with your current standing!

Mind the civilian population and im just saying that Kavala might not be the best place to have a tug of war

Goodluck

Hello.

We always try to mention all changes in the patchnotes we keep supplying.

So if we did some rulechanges since the last patchnotes, we will most likely mention them in the upcoming patchnotes unless forgotten.

Also, like Goatis mention above, we try to post it in shoutbox aswell (so forum + shoutbox). 

We dont have more channels then that atm!

Hello.

I just want to add that if you havent touched your vehicle for 5 months it might be cleaned up by the automated sanitize of the SQL.

This is as designed and intended to.

But i assume your matter might be related to something completely different, i just wanted to add that information here incase there is a link.

@Teron

I know what you mean mister ^^, you have heard my music here and most ppl think im on LSD all the time.

Beats are always nice in that genre and that would be an enough reason to listen to it imo.

But while we are getting into hiphop/rap i had to drop this one (from my childhood):

usually i never listen to anything containing "bitches and hoes" (due to my values). but this one is earcandy if you ignore the text ^^

And ofc something that i found very relaxing (its one of those tracks that gets better everytime you listen through it and like all psytrance, you cant skip parts! ;P)

Hello,

I could be completely emotionless and refer you to the rules:

• If rejected do not make another ban appeal. Respect the admins decision.
  
   

But im not. So lets talk about your ban:

Even if your ban will ever be lifted you have -35.000.000 on your account including a complete wipe (as we do with all dupers, even if the ban is not permanent).

I declined your last request and i would gladly declined it again (as i was the one watching you dupe and ive been the one collecting all the data to support this).

Frankly, unless someone steps forward BEFORE getting caught and confess these things and asks for forgiveness, i take it as a personal insult of a high magnitude and i will remain loyal to my core believes and values.
-"You simply dont mess with my 'data' when i invest countless of hours trying to provide you the best possible game experience this mod can offer"

Thats my view/take on your second ban-appeal,
But due to my professional curtsey i will ask my following admin colleagues if they have any other input (might take some time).
Until then, ban remains as it is for now.

Im not following you here.

Is there a thread linking to this banrequest? if so, supply the link and/or the conversation leading up to where you start your sentence

cheers

I saw you online today Arre so i believe this topic is resolved.

Hello, 

Please read following thread before posting a banappeal:

Hello Skilly.
Im glad that you did submit a banappeal so i could display my findings.

Do you mind explaining to me how you managed to get items that do not exist on our server?
Weapons with full kitted loadouts and rocket launchers. 

Just for the show i will display the weapons here including the logs:

I will reject your request to have the ban lifted.
If you however believe that you are still innocent, explain it to me in one simple PM here on the boards.
 

I guess this appeal is not valid anymore as it has expired, right?

Hello, 
I always take these matters in English so hope you can understand what im pitching here.

Anyways, i caught you guys red handed and even spoke to you ingame, it was an obvious case and together with your confession its sealed.
It wasent a fancy amount of duping going on but it was enough to wield the mighty banhammer so i took the necessary actions together with compiling all the evidence.

But as your case just grew alittle more interesting with the information supplied above.

Can you enlighten me through a PM here on the boards about where you learned this and from whom. As much details as possible please and we take it from there.

And hey, if the information is good ill let the fact that you didnt follow our template for submitting a banappeal slip through the cracks.

Hello Crumble.

Im the one who banned you and im one of those that dont ban easily. I need 100% proof.

I do not like when you lie to me.

On the evidence collected you are clearly standing by your box and doing this intentionally, there is no crash or bugs involved. (i will supply this video to all the admins who requests it - dont want to post how you did here - but it would be funny beacuse its very obvious and would show what a douche move you did).

When i recorded this its a standard proceedure to investigate your house several days backwards and i quickly notice how your house have been a dupegalore.

The amount of items duped is maybe 5-6 FULL backpacks. Like the one you had when you duped yesterday and got banned:

"[`U_B_Wetsuit`,`V_RebreatherB`,`B_Carryall_oli`,`G_Bandanna_sport`,``,[`ItemMap`,`ItemCompass`,`ItemWatch`,`NVGoggles`],`arifle_MXC_Black_F`,``,[],[`30Rnd_556x45_Stanag`,`30Rnd_556x45_Stanag`,`30Rnd_556x45_Stanag`,`30Rnd_556x45_Stanag`,`30Rnd_556x45_Stanag`,`30Rnd_556x45_Stanag`,`30Rnd_556x45_Stanag`,`30Rnd_556x45_Stanag`,`30Rnd_556x45_Stanag`,`optic_DMS`],[`muzzle_snds_H`,`arifle_MXC_Black_F`,`arifle_MXC_Black_F`,`arifle_MXC_Black_F`,`arifle_TRG21_F`],[`30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag`],[],[],[`muzzle_snds_H`,``,`optic_DMS`],[],[]]"

But maybe you have an explenation for that to ?

Anyhow, the results of what was duped in your house:

20Rnd_556x45_UW_mag	        35 (total:78)
30Rnd_556x45_Stanag	        11
30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag	21
30Rnd_9x21_Mag	                 4
9Rnd_45ACP_Mag	                 2
B_Carryall_oli	                 4
G_Diving	                 5
G_Bandanna_sport                 1 
NVGoggles	                 5
ToolKit                   	 4
U_B_Wetsuit	                 1
V_RebreatherB	                 1
arifle_MXC_Black_F	         8
arifle_TRG21_F	                 7
hgun_ACPC2_F	                 1 
muzzle_snds_H	                 9
optic_DMS	                10
optic_Hamr	                 7

So you tell me, was it really worth it?

The ban remains permanent and we might revisit in the future when wounds are mended.

But as a standard for every duper we always wipe their whole character (houses, money, licenses, vehicles and give you a nice -35.000.000 balance).

On the other hand im more curious on who voted this thread 3 stars?   SMTP = HELL = Give the guy some cookies

Hello Fearless.
We have 0 tolerance against duping and I will take this in English, hope you dont mind. 

I have told you several times on TS that we will have a chat with everyone involved (from MOB) when all of you are online on TS in this clearcut case.

But as you have grown inpatient and as we havent had time to have the meeting yeat and all havent been online, lets take it here.

As always when i do dupe bans its information accumulated over an extended period of time. You guys (Fearless, LEIF and ToBz) had an industry going with duped items.

We are not talking about a single item here and there, we are talking about industrialised numbers.

So this punctures your version that you only did it once. Sure, you might have told him it was bad but you clearly didnt hold those values to high as you went down the same path.

And the reason why you guys never reported/said/did anything to prevent this makes me more flabbergasted (if its now true that you are a good guy).

So the bann remains permanent and we might revisit in the future when wounds are mended.

But as a standard for every duper we always wipe their whole character (houses, money, licenses, vehicles and give you a nice -35.000.000 balance).

And i want to add the information that if you are duping on our Server, come clean before you get caught and you have a higher chance of remaining on this server, starting to apologize after its done and you are caught has a backwards effect.

Hello Simon.

To start of this discussion i want to add: We have 0 tolerance against duping.

I have been watching you and your friends for many weeks now, this wasent the first occasion but the first time i cough it on video.

The fact that you requested the evidence and then made a banappeal looks bad in my eyes, thats like viewing the evidence and then go to court. But as ive been wathcing you for weeks, this is final.

And its a standard procedure to include the whole gang and calculate the total items they have together (just incase some items just switches boxes) over an extended timeperiod. And in this research i would ban more of you guys as you have clearly been duping (most worrying is the increase of items you shouldnt be able to get in the first place). As a result i chosed to permanent ban you and see if they others (Sten etc) got the message i was sending them. If not the gangland will be removed and denied aswell as a few more bans being distributed.

So in all its glory you guys came away from this with a very light punishment (only you, Roger, banned).

But the fact that you are lying in this banappeal and you have encounters with Afriel just a few days before i will not lift this bann.

So the bann remains permanent and we might revisit in the future when wounds are mended.

But as a standard for every duper we always wipe their whole character (houses, money, licenses, vehicles and give you a nice -35.000.000 balance).

And i want to add the information that if you are duping on our Server, come clean before you get caught and you have a higher chance of remaining on this server, starting to apologize after its done and you are caught has a backwards effect.

Hello Lars.
To kick this discussion of ill start with:

We have a 0 tolerance against duping

Any form of "testing", "trying", "was just gonna look" will never hold up in a case @ our jury.

I also want to tell you that what you did wasent even related to "testing" anyhow as you clearly had intend to dupe. We can clearly see that on the items you where wearing:

"[`U_OG_leader`,`V_TacVest_blk_POLICE`,`B_Carryall_oli`,`G_Balaclava_combat`,`H_ShemagOpen_tan`,[`ItemMap`,`ItemCompass`,`ItemWatch`,`ItemGPS`,`NVGoggles`,`Binocular`],`arifle_Katiba_F`,`hgun_Pistol_heavy_02_F`,[],[`30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag`,`30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag`,`30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag`,`30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag`],[`muzzle_snds_L`,`acc_flashlight`,`acc_flashlight`,`optic_Aco`,`optic_Holosight`,`muzzle_snds_L`,`muzzle_snds_L`,`muzzle_snds_L`,`optic_ACO_grn_smg`,`H_Cap_police`,`arifle_MXC_Black_F`,`Binocular`,`hgun_PDW2000_F`,`hgun_PDW2000_F`,`hgun_PDW2000_F`],[`30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag`,`30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag`,`30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag`,`30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag`,`30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag`,`30Rnd_65x39_caseless_green`],[`H_ShemagOpen_tan`,`H_ShemagOpen_tan`,`H_ShemagOpen_tan`,`H_ShemagOpen_tan`,`muzzle_snds_H`,`muzzle_snds_H`,`muzzle_snds_H`,`muzzle_snds_H`,`muzzle_snds_H`],[`6Rnd_45ACP_Cylinder`,`6Rnd_45ACP_Cylinder`,`30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag`],[``,``,`optic_LRPS`],[``,``,``],[]]"

Thats not a "test" -loadout.

I also have the video when im watching you but i will not post that publicly as it shows what you are doing to dupe but every admin have watched it and you clearly ALT-F4 in the end.

Anyhow.

When i ban someone for duping its something ive been watching for an extended timeperiod. that means this incident was just the final drop that made me ban you permanently.

The whole concept that people confess once they are caught just makes the ban more valid. Ive watch you done it before and now i caught it on tape/loggs.

Your house is also showing fluxuating numbers the last couple of weeks.

So the bann remains permanent and we might revisit in the future when wounds are mended.

But as a standard for every duper we always wipe their whole character (houses, money, licenses, vehicles and give you a nice -35.000.000 balance).

And i want to add the information that if you are duping on our Server, come clean before you get caught and you have a higher chance of remaining on this server, starting to apologize after its done and you are caught has a backwards effect.

Yes, as legacy is stating above. This is battleye related and you have cheated there aswell apparently.

GameHack #38 banns you locally and you get submitted with the BEC reporting options.

So your case is in Battleye's hands but thanks for confirming my suspicions!

I want to add that this is true.

We have about xx (almost 3 figuers) of bodies laying around on the map. always bad for performance!

I have done some heavy spectating the last couple of weeks and i have/will delete corpses and remove the money (15k$)/gear from their account when im going around checking (if not ressable).

And as you mention, this is a investigation type of case so keep them screenshoots flowing!

Might take awhile before we get to them all tho!

I was thinking i woudlnt reply to this topic but when i saw this:

• No spawning in N.L.A terr. They already got all they need there and it's hard for civs to get. Not fair.

I had to laugh alittle and state following:

Of all the Xmas drops 99.9% went to 2 different civ gangs on the server and 0.1% was distributed to the rest (incl NLA).

So we also need some sort of limitator for the boxes, so they can not be farmed (once u got a box u cant get more untill event is over?).

The script, according to scotty, was completly random where it spawned..

Also a SafeZone arround them would be obligatory with the results of Xmas event in hand (so first person that comes actually gets it rather then bullets).

But dont think of this script as a permanent script (that would mess up the mapbalance so bad and ill refuse that! ).

But think of it as an event and which events it can be used for (birthdays, holidays, big events IRL etc).

keep it coming tho

We havent goten any futher in this case so im denying and closing this incident.

The user claims to know nothing, the loggs says he was executing lines which contained a known cheatname,

Hello James.

We can never know if it was you, your brother, your dog or even your mother (yes, we have had a few ppl blaiming their parents).

You where banned using only GUID's so trying to switch your IP-adress wouldnt help.

Let me tell you why:
Drangel connected with GUID #1 and GUID #2 and cheated (loggs below). 2 banns was placed on the 2 GUID's used. Case closed! Or so i tough atleast.

Then you connect yesterday with another username but its still GUID #1 and GUID #2......... (sounds like a start of a sherlockholmes roman!)

Then i notice you tried a GUID #3 when the 2 above GUID's didnt work and i took the decision to manually ban and add the IPadresses incase you had several accounts to do this with.

We will never know if it was you or anyone else. What we do know is that your steam account was used for it and therefor you have to pay for the consequence.

So what now?

If any admin wants to talk with you and try to resolve this, feel free (they will reply on this thread so dont poke them). 

Because in my world, this is a clear cut case and the bans will remain!

27.11.2014 20:57:45: Drangel (83.xxxxxx) 47xxxxx - #18 "Cheatname") s_godmode_t 
27.11.2014 21:08:24: Drangel (46.xxxxxx) cfxxxxx - #18 "Cheatname") s_godmode_t

(been shorten to not show the command/names of the cheat but to show you godmode was the intended goal)

We, admins, will never know who is actually behind the screen so we deal with accounts/GUID's as they are unique nominator.
I cant stress it enough but you are the only one who is responsible for your own GUID/CDkey/Steamaccount.
