So this is the first single player game that has had me hooked since.... erm can't remember. Beautiful, scary, and a lot of fun.
 
Though it'd be a good place to put my playthrough vids and anyone elses if they are enjoying this gem of a game.

Part 1 through 5 below
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

So I've been playing Subnautica recently. Had it years, never touched it, now it's released I've jumped in with both feet and damn its good.
 
Anyway if anyone wants to watch me boringly playing it, vids are here.

Well I picked up a copy so if  can pull myself away from Subnautica, I'll jump in and see how this works.
 
FYI total n00b.

After testing Vcom on our Public servers, Vcom is going to be removed.
 
It has been removed due to causing mission breaking issues and heavily impacting server performance and frames.
 
Thank you for your co-operation within this testing period.

VCOM is currently live on the I&A servers. The Public Moderation Team is closely observing the mod on the server to gather an idea of the performance and stability impacts it may have on our servers.
 
WHAT IS VCOM?
 
Vcom is a serverside mod that aims to improve the vanilla AI combat abilities. It attempts to create a more dynamic and challenging environment compared the traditional AI battles in Arma 3. Vcom impacts a variety of skills that the AI carries and enhances these to create a more dynamic and challenging experience.
 
Features Include:
 
- Increased AI accuracy and Player Suppression
 
- Enhancement of AI communication
 
- AI use cover more extensively
 
- AI avoid areas of heavy fire and that their buddies have fallen in
 
- Improved Flanking
 
- Enhanced AI Suppresion
 
- Increased Weapon Utilization
 
- AI use of Mines and Explosives
 
-  Improved Garrisoning
 
-  Improved Formations
 
DO I NEED TO INSTALL ANY MODS?
 
You do not need to install any additional mods or addons to gain the benefits of Vcom. It is a serverside mod therefore seperate mod installation is not needed by users. You can connect and play as you normally would.
 
 
We hope you can give us as much feedback as possible with the introduction of Vcom, as our end goal ultimately is to enhance the enjoyment and gameplay for our community. We feel the Vcom mod does this as it offers a more dynamic experience than what the AI can offer in Vanilla Arma.
 
 
We hope you take this change on board and all feedback is appreciated,

Well,good morning.
I´d like to adress some of the above too.
As i m playing 90% of my time as dedicated AT using a Prowler (loaded with AT,AA and explosives to be prepared for 99% of things that be imginable) and having to mostly travel via a fair part of the map to reach any of my destinations its a slap in the face coming to a AO/side/priority mission facing it being blown up in minutes by some overcompetent selflasing UAVop that sits in base without any fear of being harmed at all + operating a (respawning) arsenal of 2 Greyhawks and 1 Sentinel (6x GBU) by stock that are capable of being anywhere on the map in minutes ... is kind of meh.
I might got slighty offtopic here.
Another thing is UAVop focus on bombing shit and totally forget about the recon aspect of the job.
1 out of 10 slot users do mark the map with detected recon - altho giving info about the current situation of AO is vital to minimize casulties to ground and air forces.
 
 
 
Even i can erase a whole AO easily with my loadout - it s kind of pointless to the motivation for the boots on the ground that are prepared for fighting armor and it erases a big part of the challenge for the "team" to complete the goal.
Hence i limited myself to kill armor only (ZSU > BTR > T100) and disable the MRAPs near LZs if i see fit on AO´s.
Leave some challenge for ground forces,the time it takes for a competent setup team (Pilots,UAV,AT teams,inf units) to erase the armor presence is about 2-8min after AO spawned at best.
And its a public server,dont forget that.
Not all people will have the knowledge or will to cooperate as a team in the first place.
 
 
 
A UAVop shouldnt even work on side missions for the start of it.
Your job is intel and GBU support "on request" imo.
I m aware we got people playing EU1# that use UAVop and a Hunter to complete side´s up close,but that s a rare case.
And how many times i got a UAVop flying a Sentinel in 60m height over sides doing maneuvers to show off and drop GBUs as they see fit ruining the mission in the process.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
TLTR#
the UAVop is a highly biased and OP slot in the first place and it ll be impossible to balance it right for all

Next you'll be telling people they can own multiple consoles and a PC!

Howdy and welcome.
 
 

Hi and welcome. 
 
Can't help but imagine you are going to be a bullet magnet because, you know, "Zeds dead baby, Zeds dead."

Hi, welcome and happy new year. 

Hi, welcome and enjoy your time on EU3. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Just annoying up the Awe guys 

Hi and welcome.

How did I miss this, congratulations.
 
My recent addition is now 4 months old and the sleep is still hap hazard, still my older kid has proven they do get a lot better.

Hi Everyone,
 
I understand that it has been more than a month since I last visited here and played on AW's servers. I have been busy assisting my wife with the preparation for the arrival of our daughter.
 
After nearly 40 weeks of wait, my wife safely gave birth to our baby girl (3.3kg) on the 28th Nov. Since then, I have been moving around in the house at double time and have not touched my gaming rig.
 
Once we have settled, I hope to find time to return to AW's servers. Looking forward to be back in action.
 

 
Now A Proud Father,

@GamerbugUK This is one.

Thanks for the feedback Pero, ill do my best. I dont mind stuff like this, its common in my daily life, theres only one thing vital:
 
And to be honest, i think its already solved. Some people gone, taking a break or went somewhere else, i hope everybody is doing the right thing to get a good time. You can do it here, im happily to provide, you can go somewhere else if you want to and find something better, i said the same to my ex-wife..., rest is history and we both happy now.

Hello and welcome, I trump your age by a few years, so I can empathise somewhat.
 
Have fun shooting stuff.

Ahoy all members,
 
We have some news for you! There will be a change within the leadership of ahoyworld. Effective today, I am stepping down as leader of Ahoyworld, and handing the reigns over to PiranhA. There are a variety of reasons for this transition, which I'll get into, but I will say that this has not been a snap decision: We have had many meetings with PiranhA over the past few weeks with an eye to leadership transition, as we on the Core Staff wanted to be sure the future of Ahoyworld would be guaranteed, with progress being made in the process.
 
I'll explain why Core Staff came to this decision of putting a fish in charge of the boat.
 
As a bit of background, the majority of the current members of Core Staff have been running Ahoyworld for a long time, and things in their real lives have been taking precedence over pushing Ahoyworld along to make it an interesting, exciting community to play games. We've kept the motor running and paid the bills, but there hasn't been a lot of time left over to make it a better place.
 
In short, some new blood is needed at the tiller. PiranhA has the confidence of Core Staff to keep a firm hand into new waters, as well as to keep the ship in the right direction (to maximize the amount of naval analogies). We trust him to handle the community like it is one of his kids, as we see Ahoyworld a child of our own. PiranhA has been a constant Ahoyworld supporter and has really stepped up over the years, going above and beyond his role as just an administrator in Ahoyworld: some of you may recall he assisted in hosting the Ahoyworld meetup in Holland in 2016.
 
We hope everybody will give PiranhA a warm welcome and help him to adjust to his new position. To ease him into the position, we are going to have a long transition period: while the people in the current Core Staff positions will eventually change, for now, everyone is staying on board in their respective capacity to ensure that PiranhA gets up to speed and is supported in the best manner possible. PiranhA has a lot of great ideas for the future direction of Ahoyworld: We have been talking through and thinking about within the Core Staff and see his plans as very ambitious, but achievable. For myself, I will still be very much firmly attached to Ahoyworld, but I will be spending more time on development of both the public and modded missions.
 
From a player's point of view - you probably won't notice any change to your gaming experience.
 
As a final word about this transition: We are well aware that over the past few days there has been alot of unrest within the community. It's important to note that this transition is coincidental with those recent events, these discussions about transition have been ongoing for several months.
 
Another change we want to highlight is the return of David (Muckduck) to Core Staff: we've needed another body to help out with communications, and as David has done this in the past, we're confident he'll be a great fit in this role.
 
All the best,
 
Ryko and Core Staff (RazGriz33, Christiansen, S0zi0p4th, Mark T)

If you are sticking with 1080 gaming that set up is pretty much fine, dependant on memory available.
 
You could upgrade the GPU and it should kick most games arses at 1080p.
 
Second monitor as mentioned, always a good call.

Yep ther are 50-60 people on the public servers nightly, which is considerably more than those on AWE nightly. So what makes AWE so much more important than the other servers, why should anyone who does not play on the AWE server care? It won't stop their fun in the slightest.
 
This issue (whatever it actually is and by many posts it seems to be a bit fuzzy overall) does not relate to everyone, and those who are not touched by it now get to read it and comment on it, by default this topic is asking for that (or else it'd be on the AWE forums).
 
When you say AW's future you mean AWE's future, or you and your fellow AWE players (gaming) future. So I feel vindicated in sticking up for the overall community as I have had a lot of good times on it, but I am happy to say I know nothing about the drama on AWE, but I never cared to read those forums anyway.
 
TLDR; AW is a great place to play and have fun overall, but AWE seems the opposite for whatever reasons - including feeling self entitled.
