    Posted

    It was early morning and I had to do some work, but instead I was procrastinating

    Well you know what they say about procrastination?

     

    It's much like masturbation in that at the time it seems like a good idea but at the end of the day you're only f***ing yourself.

     

    And look on the bright side you probably got some work done after the ban!!

    How to report disruptive behaviour on our servers and make your and our admin's life better.

    in Invade & Annex

    Posted

    QZQKCkx.jpg


    It's the summer holidays so as well as forest fires we also have lots of idiots on our servers and because we have a limited number of admins we need your help in making ahoyworld a pleasant experience for everyone.

    So picture this:
    Player A is a regular player but doesn't use teamspeak (TS)
    Player B is also a regular player and is on TS
    Player C well he's just a troublemaker!

    So player C teamkills several players over a few minutes.

    Player A notices this and doesn't like what he sees so he asks in side chat:
    "Any Admin on? Player C is tking!"

    If an admin is on he will know immediately who to look for and what player c is up to.

    If no admin is on Player B who's on TS can poke an admin and let him know. But it's vital that you pass on the correct information. Something like "tker on eu1" or "you need to ban player c" leaves us with very little info to go on and requires a bit of investigation. Whereas something like "Player C is tking on EU1" lets us know who is doing what.

    Sometimes an admin will do the admin magic remotely and may ask for confirmation in side chat. It's up to you the player base to help us admin so if you say that Player C was tking and you see an admin asking for confirmation, help them out and just type confirm in side chat.

    Check the map to see if he's in a vehicle it may be the gunner who's doing the tking and the driver being reported so let us know before we kick the wrong person.

    Important Notes:
    Don't TK in self defense or retaliation, ever! I have in the past kicked the person who was, in fact, the reporter of the tk. He had tk'd the tker just after I joined the game and as i only had limited information i just kicked the first person i saw tking.

    Please don't tell us to ban someone, tell us who is doing what so we can investigate it properly, it's quite distracting when we someone saying 'ban him' in side chat when we're still trying to figure out what's happening.

    Found a major bug!

    in AW Invade & Annex Development

    Posted

    Hot fix incoming I've informed all core staff on the emergency channel and we are currently working as fast as possible to update the mission. We realise that this issue is causing so much interference with game play that we have shelved all other updates until we fix this. While the weekend was going to be spent downloading more ram, implementing the no-lag mod and installing a new and exciting feature to the server, the "performance enhancing thing".

    Again we apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

    Thermals

    in Invade & Annex

    Posted

    Thermals are completely OP, but real world explanation:

    1. Intensifier tube too cold and tube cooling results in less of a ΔT thereby reducing its efficacy.

    2. NATO bought them from this guy http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22267468

    3. Sick of being shot at altis itself has become self aware and taken measures to protect itself.

    4. BIS

    now that may not be particularly helpful but they can still be useful for indicating potential targets then switch mode and confirm valid target. The added benefit of this is it also obfuscates the 'sorry thermal' tk excuse.

    There seems to be a general trend in our community to always want to make it easier, too many ai and zeus is immediately blamed, when the opness of certain items becomes apparent and they're removed we're accused of taking toys away.

    I&A should not be easy, a main ao should not be completed by a mohawk full of people in ten minutes and dynamic changes should be tackled rather than moaned about. Every time there are any changes unless they make the mission easier we just get complaints.

    Proper Racing Etiquette

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I agree with dave on this. I've got a reputation that means that if there's any coming together I'm immediately at fault whether or not it actually my fault. so much so that i've more or less stopped racing with other ahoyworld members otherwise i need to hang back on the line so that i don't get into any sort of tangle. 

    Also it seems to be a case of not what actually happens but who immediately shouts the loudest saying they've been wronged.

    My patience is beginning to wane. 

    1. The vehicle you were in suddenly disappeared? Maybe that might be an indicator that what you were doing wasn't acceptable?

    2. You purposefully drove over the admin in question. What servers do you play on where that sort of behaviour is acceptable? 

    3. You have continually used abusive language on our servers and on our forums,

    4. You claim you were hacked but you have no evidence added to the fact you seem to have issues plugging in a mouse I can take for granted that you are not the most technically gifted.

    5. I tried to engage with you in chat in the game but all you did was get abusive.

    6. What script that was supposedly used to hack your mouse?

    7. What is this magical script you speak of you keep mentioning it yet you can't provide any details?

    8. You claim that you have spent 250 hours on our servers yet none of the admins I spoke to had any recollection of you.

    9. Your mouse issues have nothing to do with us so you can try and fix it, come back and apologise to everyone involved or you can go on being angry at your imaginary script, but either way you'll still need to go through the ban appeal process if you every want to be considered to be allowed to play on our servers.

    So you came on the server (weeks ago) tk'd an admin after you were roaming around the helipad in a tank given several warnings to stop. Then you claim that a respected admin somehow hacked your game and your mouse? You didn't bring it up on the forums but decided to wait a while.

    Then today you come on the server under a different name and get quite abusive with danne.

    After trying in vain to talk with you i banned you.

     

    Below you will find some of what you said.
     
    Firstly Tking is not permitted on our servers, secondly danne did not hack your game and mouse.
    Lastly you do not come on and accuse us of hacking and talking to admins in the manner in which you did.
     
    If you have any proof of anything please share it.

    Also your post is not in the correct section or in the correct format so you will still have to fill in a ban appeal in the appropriate section.

    Mistakenly banned

    Yeah Sorry haven't seen this till just now. 

    Yes it was me who mistakenly banned you and as soon as it was noticed (within 30 seconds by another admin) we went about lifting the ban immediately. I do apologise for my mistake and hope you can continue to play on the servers.

    Yes it was indeed the player mentioned above who was the focus hence the reason that we give the names (admin and bannee) as well as the reason, while it's still a ball ache you were able to see that it wasn't you we were after and you knew who to mention had banned you.

    Either way I apoplgise again and look forward to seeing you on our servers!

    I'll bite,

    If we could, would love to have a server with 60 slots (or even 100) but for a number of reasons this isn't possible. 

    Our Server runs usually with approx 5 to 45 players the mission has organically developed to give the greatest number of people the greatest amount of enjoyment and the mission can be fun with only a few people to a full server. 

    With 60 people it would be just too many people and the AO would be over almost as soon as it starts.

    Before you say just have more missions read on....

    While it's possible to up the number of slots to 60 all of those 60 players would have terrible frames so that would be no fun for anyone. so that's a no go

    Okay so just get a spanking new 4 or 8 socket beast of a xeon box to run it! Yeah great idea but we'd need wayyyy more of the moneys to do that!!

    Sorry we would if we could but we can't 

     

    If you wanna get us something for xmas one of these and 8 of these

     

    also som ram (a few tb should be enough)
