Takes about 6 hits already with half the sousse on the server these days

Good Evening!

Tonight marks the end of this summers Community Staff/SAHA recruitment.

First off, we would like to thank everyone who expressed any interest in the advertised roles.

Whilst we'd love to accept lots more of you, unfortunately we can only choose a select few. If you were overlooked this time around, don't be disheartened and remember that there is always next time as we constantly require new staff to help us out as people move up in roles or move on with their lives.

Speaking of new roles, lets take the chance to say a massive congratulations to our new SAES probies which are there to fill the the small hole left in clan member activity as few have moved on.

Congratulations to @MrSolrac @Yoko @Durby @Versace @Velo. Soon enough you'll be able to bother them all for your donation requests!

---

Onto the recruitment results, lets welcome the following new Community Staff members to fill the void left by the above promotions.

Congratulations to @hessan210 @Strong @Curny @PaiN500 @Hotfire @niceez

And lets welcome the following individuals into the SAHA team:

Congratulations to @Sou @Bisollini @Anas_ @xBlue @Yannick

In addition to the recruitment results this evening, we also had a good number of events ingame!

Our first event was a bring the tractor to The White House. After a huge amount of conflict, the tractor eventually arrived at the destination after an hour!
Congratulations to @Aprix for winning. Enjoy you 20m and 10 donation points!

Our second event was a kill @Brophy event through his protection and 50,000 hp!
Congratulations to @Juby for taking away 15 donation points!

Our third side event was guess the recruitment results via the form advertised ingame.
Congratulations to @Anas_ for taking away 10 mil. He guessed a total of 8/9 individuals correctly. Sadly nobody guessed 9/9!

We'll be looking to do a few more of these events on a more regular basis so keep an eye out for those!

Have a good one!
~SAES Team

Weapon storing has also been patched for none Trainees.

Stinger fix also pushed.

Thanks for spotting.

@General said in Police Team Balance Changes!:

@Kain What about PC members getting stars? can we make them not get stars while spawned as a non-PC cop?

Or should Sheriff be kept for PC, deputy sheriff for public spawn, and sergeant for SAPD?

I think it's a simpler, and good idea if we, PC members don't get stars in these spawns.

Police Detective has been added to all counties and I would recommend choosing that for now.

If this is something, more people want then feel free to suggest it

@nulgath said in Police Team Balance Changes!:

Was about to suggest it, radio must be locked to PC/Squads only or it's gonna be a mess.

Weapons aswell can be stored in disks so it might be abused.

And setting speedtraps, barriers and stingers should be either locked to specific spawn or just PC .. prefer if just PC imo.

and ye PC can get wanted if spawned as non-PC spawn.

Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback.

I would like to try and keep the radio as is, any abuse of the radio will lead to mutes.
More communication is always better.

Speedtrap we would like to keep public as this is under utilised currently.

Barriers/Stingers will remain locked to PC. (A fix will be be pushed to stingers).

Getting wanted on a non-PC spawn is also an intended feature.

Good Evening!

It's no secret that the police team has been made largely redundant for quite a while now with very little people spawned aside from the odd new player and eager squad recruit.

We have deduced that one of the primary reasons for this is the lack in variety due to a large quantity of the spawns being "locked" behind the ProCops qualification.

Consequently, the SAPD team have put together a number of changes in an attempt to both increase the variety and motivation in playing as a police team member which is more appealing to both new players and non-squad players alike.

These changes primarily feature increasing the availability of the previously locked ProCops spawns while also trying to maintain the value that holding a ProCops qualification once held.

The changes can be found below:

Agree with @Bisollini.

You're all entitled to your own opinions and feel free to discuss them in private with each other however we don't endorse political controversy such as this thread.

As far as SAES is concerned, we will continue to support those adversely impacted by these events as shown in https://saesrpg.uk/topic/31273/ukraine-residents-housing-requirements however we are not looking to prompt any further discussion on the matter hence why that thread was also locked.

Thanks for understanding.

Hi All!

First off, we want to wish you all a wonderful new year from all of us at SAES:RPG and hope that 2022 is one of the best for you all!

We also want to thank each and every one of you that has stuck with us throughout 2021 with a major shout out to everyone in @Donator that has helped us keep the lights on.

And a final thanks from the HQ team to all of our staff and developers that have helped maintain the day to day running of our services through the year.

We hope 2022 will be another great year for us and we hope to have a few more great things coming your way soon with the first being from @Scorpyo and the @SAES-Creative team within the next couple weeks so stay tuned for that!

Thanks again,
SAES HQ Team

DROT's way of trying to provide a morale boost for SWAT before they lose #1

Your video clearly shows the desync that happens. He hits you then shoots the roof of the truck. It's just desync in a 2002 game, you're stretching trying to pull this off as a report.

@moley give me a time and date

People liked the old jail because there was lots of people and therefore more things to do. I don't think cutting the content zones in half is what people want.

@jukyplatinium na that was your score for the whole 4 weeks

Jail Trial

As previously mentioned, we are constantly observing the state of the jail as it is a major location for core gameplay. The last change made was as followed:

"Jail change: red doors now open using the single marker by the door".

This change didn't exactly have the desired effect we were looking for and therefore we're adapting it slightly further. Door operation within the jail will now function as followed:

"Both red doors are now operated using a single marker in the jail control room next to the cell marker".

We hope this will have a more beneficial effect on the server and we will continue to monitor it accordingly.

Have a wonderful week!
