Hey anxious players/Devs! So I came up with this idea an hour ago and I think it would be a good idea to add K9s and K9 Handlers. These are specially trained officers which obviously travel around with their K9 when needed - can be used in situations such as a drug busts, locating a suspect/s which has gone out of sight of police officers in the area and possibly other situations. The handler would be able to name, command and create a relationship with them. When you start your job, you choose the gender, name of your new battle pup and train it. Once ready to hit the streets, the handler would have a K9 Marked vehicle and would be ready to accept calls where the K9 is needed to subdue someone who is resisting verbal commands or is becoming physically violent towards officers or other civilians within the area. Pros to K9 Handler: 1) Adds more diversity to the Law Enforcement, other than the regular S.W.A.T. Units or other specialized units that may be already available. 2) Gives a more immersive experience to locating a perp when in pursuit of them as they would be able to pick up a scent should an article of clothing (example) be present that belongs to the perp, not just asking for any sightings of them or CCTV footage. 3) Drug busts could become more interesting and allow for more challenges in locating any hidden narcotics or other rec. drugs which would be legal, unless deemed legal by the President/Governor/Head of State etc. Drugs could be hidden under hard to reach places such as floorboards, frame of car etc or behind areas such as blocked passage ways only large enough for the K9 or a *Police EOD Bot to fit through 4) The K9 would automatically defend the officers should someone attempt to harm them (unless kept on leash ) or released from their leash. May be injured and/or killed in the line of duty as any other living, serving officer does. Cons to K9 Handler: 1) Custom sounds, models and walking/running/injured animations must be made along with implementation of A.I. specifically for the K9. 2) May be an unpopular job - meaning that the job would not be given enough attention worth for the amount of time/effort put into it to implement the idea. Thanks for reading this post, this is my first actual thread I've made - I attempted to add one about gun mechanics and I got signed out somehow, was super in-depth and took ages to write, never mind - as long as I can try to give any ideas along with everyone else I'm good! Looking forward to this game, hope it will be as feature packed and immersive as it seems to be as of the YouTube Demo video (looked brilliant by the way - well done, keep it going!) I will be getting the Founder rank hopefully soon before the prices change and whatnot! *Police EOD Bot - would have the ability to be remotely controlled and to view using a I.R./Heat Seeking camera with 360 degrees rotational view. Would be able to disarm simple/home made bombs or other explosives which pose a threat to the public. Similar as to the EOD Bot which can be found in Battlefield 3/4!

I'm so happy to be part of this amazing project! keep it up asylum! your game will mark history. As a Game Dev myself, i just know this game will be an outstanding masterpiece! good job! -GenCodeX;

i would love to do that conserderd me signed up

Hey Guys, I thought I would share with you a little guide I designed a few years ago for businesses in Arma 3 Life. It's a simple business model that worked pretty well. It's more or less an algorithm for any business you choose to make. It allows for your employees to be paid, and will minimize them breaking off for sole profit. It is purposely written so that anyone can understand. --------------- Business Model System This is the business model system for maximum efficiency for any business. This model uses a percentage based pay and is designed to be easily modified and easily implemented. Here is the Key for the following guide: A- Overhead (This is the money you need to cover your expenses) B- Profit (This is the money you make after your initial investment has been covered) C- Employee Payroll (This is the money for you to pay your employees) D- Investors Payroll (This is the money to pay your investors) ----------------- Generally speaking you need to arrange all of your investors payroll and your employee payroll to only come from your profits. It is important to remember what your total investment is, your profit, and your payroll. Be sure that you keep an eye on your finances. This is an example of the business model: Your total Overhead (A) is $1000 You have one investor, who has invested $1000 into your business in exchange for 5% of your profit (B). This places a $20,000 valuation on your company. You have one employee plus yourself. Your employees and investors make 5% of your profits. From 100% of your profit (B), you now owe 10%, which leaves you with 90% of your profit. Your profit is $5000. This means that $250 goes to your investor, $250 goes to your employees. 90% of your profit or $4500 is now left over. You invest $2000 into your Overhead this time. You have the same amount of investors. Your company's valuation is still only $20,000. You have gained another employee plus yourself. You have banked $2500. If your profit from a $1000 investment was $5000, this means you made $6000 from the total investment. In turn you expect to make double because of your investment of $2000. This puts you at a $10,000 profit. 5% of $10,000 is $500. You pay your employees $500 and your investor $500. This leaves you with a total of $9000 profit. This algorithm is a progressive system. You do not have to pay any specific percentage, I was simply explaining the math with the easy percentages. ---------------- Q: Why would someone work for me, if they could make the same amount as me? A: Your employee pays no overhead, he uses your equipment, he uses your services, he uses your resources. He has no risk involved. If he is robbed, it is not his money he is losing. (Or She). Also, your employee will scale with more employees and more profit. Whereas if he were to do it all on his own, he would make the same singular profit without the ability to scale, unless he were to create his own company. (Or She). Not to mention, you could promote the employee to making more of a percentage. Q: Why not split the profits evenly? A: You can do that! Except you do need to take out your next expenses before dividing up the profit. Always cover your next venture. Q: Why bank the money? A: The reason for banking your money is insurance. If you are robbed, or an expensive piece of equipment is lost, stolen, or broken, you need to be able to cover those expenses. You pay yourself, the same amount as you pay your employees. You bank the remainder for upgrades and incidentals. Q: Is this the only system that works? A: Heavens no. There are many different systems that work, this is just an easy one to start with until you get your feet wet. ----------------------- Should you have any questions, or anything you would like to add to this guide (Business Model) please reply and leave a comment.

Hello everyone! Some of you might remember that I had a thread on the old forum with an Imgur album containing all pictures posted by the developers on Twitter and Facebook.

You can access it here, feel free to use it (or not use it) however you like. Take care!

I have some suggestions for the the firefighter career. I read that there is to be one type of firetruck. I am not sure if your planning on putting just a pumper in the game but I think a ladder truck( has the 100ft ladder on top of the truck) would be an awesome tool to put out fires in high-rises. Also, for another action for a firefighter to do, I read that the car accidents are going to be realistic. An idea is that if the accident is bad enough there is potential for a person to be trapped in their car and that could be another response as a firefighter.

Age? -> 16-17 2) Location? -> Italy 3) How long have you been gaming? -> Mmh, i started at 7 with BadCompany2..so..a long time ago. 4) Which role do you currently prefer? -> Not so sure, i'd like something like a Gun Dealer...or why not, the mafia (u know, italy..mafia..it should be inside me right?). 5) PvE, PvP, or Hybrid? -> PvP is the best for me...kinda like the hybrid of altis life for example where you ve to farm, but a 100% pve..naah, not for me. 6) How many hours per week do you plan on playing? -> 2h a day during the week, and..20h in the weekend :D. 7) Why would you like to join? -> Well, i really don't want to enter in a Mmorpg that looks so cool and play solo...it would be really sad right :D? And i like this organization's style, it would be really cool to join

Look guys, this was just a simple question, it was a simple accident he gave false information, it was a mistake and it was just what he thought. Please just stop arguing it's pathetic.

Why do you need to troll?

Kids that get what they want e.g. mostly "rich kids" they are spoilt brats and also if you get whatever you want from your family, you are just not getting the full potential your mum and dad should give you with attention. Money is not everything, Money is not Power. You need Money to sustain life but it is not important to have money if you care and give attention to your loved ones/ family. So please everyone stop arguing. @TheoGT That you see is nothing to do with his pledge. It is to do with posts.

i think that is you your the one who is poor and your mom kicked you Lol, also im rich and im from a rich family owns an oil company in dubai. dont mess with me

Welcome!

Hello O'le chap and Welcome to the identity community! What do you look forward to most about Identity? What are your goals in Identity? Please read the 2 FAQ's which are linked in my signature. Please feel free to use the resources on this forum/ website to gather information on the game. If you have not found something within the resources, please don't hesitate to ask as everyone here is happy to help! Cheerio!

Honestly die

SAMP still suffers lag, latency, and ping issues. It is impossible not to have someone experience issues when you have anywhere from 150-900+ on a server. Ultimately it depends on the map size. SAMP even has issues with filling out the map with enough players. Asylum have seemed to have planned for this, making the state, one large body of land, and by limiting it to 300 players max for now. Also SAMP has been around for almost a decade now, and many of those servers took years to build to amount of traffic they have now. Perhaps in a few years after release, identity will have 1000 player servers

I have been fighting for this since the start of A3L servers and I believe this would be a great addition and instead of having K9 AI have it be a player that's all I have to say the rest of my points are mostly covered here!

Hey everybody! I'm looking for partners in what I think is a great way to earn a lot of money fast when you start the game. Okay, so we all know that every house in Identity will purchasable by all players on the sever. Well, we also know that every house will be rentable to all players, so here's my idea: myself and hopefully a few of you fine folks will save up our money and buy a bunch of houses/apartments. We would then rent them all for a lower price to other players and have our renters pay a weekly sum of money, which we would then divvy up between ourselves. This process will have some major money setbacks in the beginning of the game, but in time I believe it will bring quite the profit, which we will partially use to help expand our business. The best thing though, is that it will allow you to have a little extra cash to help out any other career you might be interested in. I am looking for a maximum of 9 partners to help me with this renting, and they will be the first 9 people to ask. Also, if you are looking to rent a house in the future, tell me below, and I'll try to get to you first. Thanks!

But it's fun to prove idiots wrong.

Didn't think of it like this, good shit bro

He is a Troll, ignore him.

As a Game Dev Myself, Identity is probably one of the best game ideas i've seen in a long time! i trust Asylum and their team that they will deliver probably a videogame that will mark history. greetings from Panama =3

4/10 sorry dude, just not my style

Hello everyone, I am adding yet another guide that I have written in the past that will help you with making stock or business trading. This system has been tested and actually does work with little to no interaction from staff of a server, and has little to do with the actual game economy. This also coincides with my other guide for a business model found here: http://www.identityrpg.com/community/topic/1760-business-system/ ---- Business Stock Market Guide It is the objective of this guide to provide a clear view into business trading. The math is easy in the guide for a reason. This guide allows you to conduct business trading with little to no staff interaction or economic changes to the server. Example: Business A, sets a market value or valuation of $100,000. This means that the company makes $100,000 per in game session. A share of the company is worth .001% of the company in other words 1 dollar, whereas 100 shares of the company is worth 1% and in other words is an investment of $1,000. Should someone invest $1,000 into a single game period the market value of that company goes up to $101,000, this increases the value of the company, but lowers the amount of shares. A smart investor would buy when the company has a large amount of shares and a low cost, and then would sell the shares of that company to make the return OR the investor could collect a percentage from the game period's profits. Investments can carry over to other game sessions. So if "Investor A" was to invest $1,000 or 1% into a company worth $100,000, the market value of the company would increase to $101,000, The next investor that wishes to buy 1% of that company will have to pay $1,010 for the 1% share of the company. "Investor B" Invests $50,000 into the company at the rate of $1,010 per 100 shares of the company. This increases the value of the company to approximately $150,000. "Investor A" Decides to sell his or her 1% of the company for the return of $1,500, and a profit of $500, while the net value of the share only lowers to $1,490. ----------- What makes this a working system is that it requires no staff interaction to setup and use. It only requires the agreement of the businesses involved and of course lawyers and what not. This fuels a market fraud charge. ---------- Should you have any questions, or anything you would like to add to the guide, please leave a comment.

As far as i know, there is a age rating on the game R18 but it don't stop younger gamers playing.

Yeah but the town square is taking the longest time as because the devs had to create the core game mechanics and get the sorted which is the longest/ hardest parts of the game to do! This means it will be shorter time waiting for the 2nd and 3rd modules and beta being towards the End (Q3 - Q4) of 2017.

There is same sex marriage.

Imagine spectating and being able to bet on the outcome!

We can call it the pussy patrol.

great stuff, well formatted. glad to see someone laying out a proper legal standard - almost makes me want to become a lawyer btw is the Latin, 'Truth Conquers All', or 'Truth Always Conquers?'

What types of security can you offer a person seeking your services? The costs and risks of using you seem to far outweigh that of the reward. For instance, no matter how tight a plan may be, things go wrong. Even if your plan was followed exactly to the letter, but still failed, would full payment be refunded back to the buyer? Your word doesn't seem strong enough to back up the assurance of success, so some type of business accountability would be nice, as well as professional.

Injuries and bullet impacts will be realistic, so if someone gets shot in the leg once that leg will become limp and they will need to heal it someway. Things like this could get annoying and could always be adjusted.

Like @mezdoo sad, most likely around or after the release of the first module. Chances are the video will be previewing/exploring the module, or something that relates with the module.

So basically communism?

I heard something about DNA and cameras but I think it should be like real life, so police actually have to ask witnesses and investigate instead of just looking on the map and seeing a red dot.

Rev Masters Garage OPEN TO COMMENTS, BUT THE GARAGE HAS BEEN PAUSED. Rev Masters Garage specializes in hot rods and street rods.

Rev Masters is a small local garage with helpful staff ready to work on your street rod and make it the baddest in the land! The Garage also servers as The Royals Car Club's main garage/clubhouse. Right next to the garage, you'll find a small corner store. Although it will not be your right-ade or Walgreen's, you'll be able to find your daily needs such as soda, candy, other foods, cigarettes, drinks and medical supplies. STOCK Rotors Engine Heads Cylinder heads Exhausts Camshafts Oil Pumps Chain and gear kits Wheels and rims Many more! Services Engine work Exhaust repair, inspection and installation Catalytic converter installation Belt installations battery installations Too many to name!

Other members who are not the absolute best at working on other members/peoples cars can work the cash register, work as an assistant to whomever is working on a car, wash cars, show customers around and hang out with the boys. Thank you for reading! Please comment if interested in the car club ~Hanshi~

Will I be the guy who runs up the price on commodities I possess in large quantities just so I can get rich overnight while everyone else squirms? Maybe! Also, I could double down as a loan shark when prices are too high for you to afford things in a reasonable time frame, doubling my earning potential! I am gonna need to choose my friends wisely...

Non-factual statements and opinions, emotional outbursts etc. Are not arguments.

Damn, those proposed taxes are high!

Not an argument.

No thanks. Don't turn Identity into a tax farm. Champange socialists are worse to deal with than communists. Atleast communists want to make everyone equally poor.

I do but there is no way I can support a socialist party and ideas.

Not only that, it comes down to a lot of other things too: Rubbish Connection Rubbish Microphone They can't talk at that moment in time (Eg, family round or late at night) Or like sometimes in my case, when I can't be arsed talking So yeh text chat is probably a good idea

This is a short video explaining how to add a photo signature to your account. The picture MUST be 600x150. Please, if a mod could pin this thread so everyone can access it easily thanks.

Today we publish the first Identity Insider update, bringing you detailed information about key systems in Identity. Our website has expanded with a small page detailing corporations and their classes, also available below: Corporations in Identity You've made a lot of cash working odd jobs, or maybe even the odd less-than-legal task; now that you've had a taste of success, it's time to forge an empire. Corporations will allow the successful with a little extra cash to become driving forces in Identity's dynamic economy. Corporations are organizations similar to, but separate from, gangs and other social structures. They have the added ability of owning assets and issuing work orders to their real-player employees. Some assets, such as the largest cargo trucks, are available only to corporations. Once formed, the corporation is assigned a telephone number for public contact and the director (owner) can build a logo using an in-game design tool. It's then time to hire a staff and get to work. Classes of Corporations Delivery Delivery corporations can buy large vehicles for big hauls, vehicles not available to the general public. While any player can deliver goods in vehicles such as vans, to get the big-bucks you'll need to join a corporation. Legal Let's face it, crimes happen and criminals are going to be arrested. They'll need someone on the outside to convince the jury that they did nothing wrong. This is where legal corporations come into play, and their services aren't always cheap. Transportation People need to get from point A to point B and they don't always have the means to do that themselves. Transportation corporations own special vehicle assets including taxis and more, helping those in need get where they need to be. Manufacturing From the shoes on your feet to the sofa under your seat, almost everything in Identity is built and crafted by other players. Manufacturing corporations give their employees access to a wider variety of constructables and resources, for a cut of the profits. Always Expanding As with most things in Identity, we at Asylum will constantly be expanding this system adding new classes of corporations and building on those already available. Identity's release is only the beginning. If you have any ideas for a well-suited corporation class, let us know on the forums.

That is some impressive marketing skills you have. Why not create your own marketing advice company? Or a shares business? I was thinking of investing, and you have helped me greatly. Thank you for this guide
