just some minor thougts without any takin side by me :
 
First off,AhoyWorld isnt defined by "some" individials - its more of a general thougt about being a part of a community that offers YOU a place to enjoy,witness and strenghten the community spirit by doing what you enjoy in the first place ... playing a video game with similar minded people.
Remember,thats the basic thing that unites us all.
Like in real life,you always run into people you like more and people you like less.
The thing is dealing with that while keeping the main goal your lead you strive for - having fun with like minded people.
That sometimes means to swallow some,talk some and if you find no solution by this ... moving on.
Remember,AhoyWorld isnt defined by feelings and personel grudges and nothing in this World should trigger such.
But,as we all humans we always will stumble over such minor issues and its on us to overcome these issues on a regular base.
 
Summa sumarum,
dont get fooled by the topic title - there is a future for AhoyWorld and its not looking as badly as the past topics may suggest.
 
For example,i just looked up the community i started my MP domination with back in the 1990s - and surprise,surprise (not really for me) its still rocking:
Bravery Honor Courage
*salutes*
i even still know some of those guys listed there,back in those days we played Medal of Honor (the proceedor of CoD *shruggs*) and see they evolved and kept the theme and spirit the same as in my 90s days!
Take that as a example where the road is going for AhoyWorld
 
So far,back to work
 

Heads up,gents - its not the end (yet)

i 2nd that observation - i m not fully agree´ing on APC and lower vehicles,but for MBTs (mainly most side mission rewards alike) it should increase to 5-10min to fully service such a thing.
Ofc people will abuse it by using a ammo truck to service (their jets and sentinels and ... offtopic) faster so i dont see the point doing that when you not have the manpower/will to uphold changes/rules.
Is it to soon to talk about self-bombing UAVops?

 
kekeke
 
edit
i also dont understand why there s such a massive choice for pilots once FOBs come online (especially after the 2nd unlocked) - imo it just leads to more pilots flying all  over the map in order to get their prefer´d chop-chop/jet.
There´s also no need to give advanced equipment to troops on FOBs (Kajman,Orca armed,KUMA) when there should be more Marshall´s (FOB Marathon,FOB Guardian) ,more Prowler´s (any FOB) and a few more Hunter´s (any FOB)instead.
The main thing for pilots is/should be transport of troops (not flying BF to supply 1-2 vehicles for 1-4 people max or play Maverik in the sky.
And ground forces should have way more options for transport that isnt necessarily ENDGAME status.
If you want ENDGAME stuff > play side missions ( MBT,armed choppers,jets,supply vehicles)

the fun part is,its a very tiny,tiny marker and eZ to miss if you unaware
 
 
 
share´ing is care´ing ?   KUMA part2#

as i logged off i told Patrik about the KUMA pos and this is what i ended with ...
 
 
save the kittun !   KUMA part3#

early sunday morning,i came and saw the kittun needed my help,when i was 25m off it the UAVop decided to GBU it - but pictures tell more than words,right?
 
 
 
3 jets over AO,1 radiotower ? .... gimme 10min,Ma´am !

using a Cheetah for first time + a ammo truck nxt to it,it´s proven to be a good asset if embedded by the right clown
thumbs up for -owl- ,great support
then kill 2 FriTs otw to tower,set charges,a cakewalk before we started to opress ... erm enfree the city !
#side note: the Ak12 is best gun for any task
 

stumbled upon this while google pr0n search (dont ask),but i deemed it a great addition:
 

wait wait wait
as a long term luver and player of I+A ever since i stepped a foot on EU1# i feel you ignore the fact that for over 2 years the base was located mid of map either on the airfield or right nxt to it,as it made sense from a gameplay pov.
Then I+A 3 came and with it the idea of "capturing the invade part" better translated over to the user.
Which most (pub)players never gave a fuck about.
And here we are now,stuck with (at best) 4 base´s aka spawn locations and the logistic trouble is real.
I´m not even talking about the performance part,but let me say this:
I´ve seen plenty of mission run time when I+A 2.x was played - i´ve never seen all 4 FOBs being live on I+A 3 without a admin spawning em.
In short,the whole point of the FOBs was BS and i called it.
 
For the part of what "suits" I+A - í´d leave that to the bureaucrats,i m more interested in a well play out mission than a fitting name for the child.
 
 
 
nuff said

Thsoe two points seem to counteract each other, ral as possible, can we run around with realistic loadouts. Don't get  me wrong I don't think of the public servers as remotley realsitic, it just needs to maintain balance.
 
Depends what the vehicle is for and where you park it. I do this all the time and I've had my vehicle stolen once in the last few months, and when it is stolen, not a lot I can do, move on adapt. I have had countless missions where my ammo ran out, I adapted, took what I could from dead enemies and made it through multiple AOs, its heartpounding stuff. Another issue I have had is crashing a vehicle I have loaded up either at an AO, or on my way to it, and thats really frustrating but those are the breaks as well.
 
An option here would be try, instead of lowering weight, lobbying for pilots to bring a supply drop to a finished AO as a standard practice maybe they will add in a rule or a best practise guideine "if a pilot is at base or very near base and an AO has completed, before heading to evac bring a supply crate with you".
 
I can't comment what other servers do, I only play here, but I guess if other servers did what I wanted and here didn't I'd play there instead. That said I've not liked every step AW has made but it still gives me what I want; even if they lowered the weight as you suggest I'd still play here it'd just be a lot more arcadey than it is now, but I'd adapt easy enough and just have fun being a walking tank.

in b4
broken wheel flipped FF damaged FF firing spawn issues continued beggings to slingload the thing So,when the Stomper (unarmed) gets added i expect a edit in numbers for UAV tools total count,right?
(read = -1 Greyhawk)

for a start,as you said - its a game that we r playing on a free to access by anyone that owns A3 and therefor you can expect getting a certain portion of retards by default and RL training/combat experience doesnt apply in a game world,so dont even go there
Also,EU3#
But its a two way route,you also meet great tactical and teamplay orientated players also and (imo) thats what you (i) strive for,those 20min of enjoyable cooperation in the 3h run you had.
 
 
 
What if i told you that your take on the situation is flawed?
I learned to keep my vehicle off pub crowds/reinforcements/anyone_i_dont_know @ my 2nd day on EU1#.
You need to adapt your plan to the current situations ingame.
Works for me,at least.
And about the locks on vehicles,sounds reasonable but that conflicts with the way AW always managed the (public) servers and this is the no mod requirement to play and that´s just fine.

 
 
 
I agree the pilots lack a certain idea of logistics 85% of time and have no intention to uphold a logistic chain at most.
Then you have the occasional pilots that take 15min to load their choppers only to be shot a few min after and all their load effort was useless.
Or,like i experienced,you fly a few hours with all sorts of ammo and none even requests it as they prefer to respawn and be reinserted,then you get shot down.
 
 
 
There´s no way this can be enforced by AW at all.
The players need to change or simply JUST DO IT.
Its always best to start by yourself first and see if people will follow your path.
Again,that´s what i´d do.
Apart from the fact i see Ammo Supply trucks and Prowlers driven by several people all over Altis daily.
Maybe check the map more or adress certain people by chat you know doing just that regualry and the chance to get a supply drastically changes to your favour (at times).
Or,supply on dead enemies.
Again,i do that regulary - any chance i find gear on dead enemies  i deem usable i take it.
The most effective weapon of humans is their brain and the ability to work with it.

 
 

What you want to use is setTimeMultiplier and not skipTime, neither of which are broken as far as I know. Then again I have no idea how well they perform in a client-server-environment.

I did called out in chat for a ZEUS or admin to look into the actual situation.
All i got was 2 (!) ZEUS´s that told me the exact same thing.
Which is they cannot act on it.
I dont expect a immidiant reaction by admins by default.
But,given the past history (of mine) i did expected a proper handling of  said situation.
 
And good call Amentes and Copey - thats just the response i expected from the (higher Tiers) above ZEUS team.
In short - the response "fuck you" comes to mind.
There s plenty of times i connected to TS with issues to handle and got told of by Staff (we look into it,cant do anything as rules say blablabla,etc) so exuse me when i got my doubts about the support of Staff in those matters.
And screw your ruleset when you cant even rely on gut feeling to handle such a thing.
In fact,i now wasted 3h of my life by this (discussion ingame,make forum post,reply now,etc.)
For a video game reward.
And what did it got me?
Shit smeared in my face,my reputation is even more contradicted now and my "trust" in your "decicion makin" is sinking by the minute.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Right,why make a 5min call that had calmed the waves when you can develope a totally new,more complicated and most propably even worse turning out system than the current one.
Exactly.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Then give me the ability to delete my profile (incl. my post´s) and i ll be out of here by the weekend.
Im quite sure "Invision Power Services" does advise their customers to give users this ability if they request to.
Butthurt? Propably ...
Still,totally legal to call for that.

Right,right as you seem to enjoy watching/making me enrage over (minor) issues - here we go again !
 
Its now 5 months after AHOY lead came up with this :
SIDE REWORK discussion topic
that came up on certain events from this topic :
my topic about getting my side reward KUMA snitched by AW associates
 
And just now,5 months later the almost similar situation turns up again ...
Did support a side mission that rewarded a KUMA.
Called dips as it displayed.
Hoped for fair play untill i return to base to get it.
Pub grabbed it,drove of base (1 guy)
Negotiations failed.
Then this evolved :
 
 
And now you tell me where s the promised justice in all that effort i took?
(face injustice / rise a discussion about it / wait for justice)
 
I had the opportunity in the past weeks of getting MBTs awarded (2x T100,1x KUMA) and not taking em but share em on other players that wanted it.
Even today i had negotiated if that guy would made a statement in chat he d liked to,even after i called dips on chat,marked map and proceeded to RTB the regular way than to INSTA-despawn in order to be 1st at it (like so many of even AW members do).
But fkk me - this time i was borderline of facing a ban lifetime here.
 
And its resulted by the lack of makin justified decicions by AHOY admins (not ZEUSs as they have to obey orders from Staff above).
I expected a STAFF member to come help out/advice on this very situation today - yet you deciced to leave the dirty work to (newish) ZEUS´s.
Well played.
 
Not.
 
Again.
 
I dont expect you to like me,but i got a way sharper and sensible feel for justice than (most of) your people in charge have.
And a reasonable foundation to base it on.
I expect to be respected - as i respect you.
 
And dont play the "yadda yadda Scar" card.
Balls to the wall,gents ...

Still,totally legal to call for that.

You seem to not read (or understand) my post at all.
I clearly stated  i expected a admin to step in to calm/solve the situation.
Which were around (on TS) but choose to send "their" message via a ZEUS.
Knowing me (and quite a few of them do) it was quite obvious i m not gonna settle with that decicion (again).
And what would be so hard to tell "that pub" he had no claim to uphold for that MBT,suggest him to exit it and negotiate for it like civilised people or (the option i prefer) hand me MY KUMA.I´vs seen several occasions people in charge handed vehicles (of any sort) to players they get along with finer (read=get their ass kissed) than me,abusing their given powers on occasions they felt comfortable with.
It had been a matter of minutes untill all of this had been forgotten and the world kept turning.
And now you tell me
 
 
What other option do i have,pls enlight me?
Ima list it for you :
suck it up,move on,wait for nxt chance to be betrayed again,rinse repeat AT the KUMA (like i consider´d) and get a ban (for life) find a different server,devote time to another community I m curious.
I really am.
 
 

So,time to post a hatefull vengence thread
Done a side mission today and it rewarded a KUMA tank - some of you may know i m living for those kind of tank.I´d use it as day to day car if the parking space wouldnt be so limited.
Opend chat after the reward message popped up,wrote "dips" and then returned to lobby to load in new from base and be instant on "my" KUMA.
The second i arrive at base i m lookign for the kitten only to face it driven by a AW+ guy (which name doesnt matter much atm) i had quite traded bad buisness with.
Opend chat again and asked (first uncomonly nice) him to return "my" tank to base.
Which he replied "you d/c".
Now i m getting slowly pissed,because that guy pulled the same very abuse just 2 days ago with @Drunken,same thing - he did accomplish a side mission 16k off base,returned to lobby to get his KUMA tank and the AW+ guy sat in it with his m8s telling him the same story ... "we had it first" , "blablabla" i dont actually recall it exactly.
 
So,what options does that leave me with?
Titan him like he deserves,but face a ban again?
I connected to TS,PMed @Sozio to make  decicion,but he was busy.
PMed @Teddy 2 min after and got told "the admins do a first come,first serve policy and i should settle with this.
 
Guess what,i m not!
 
As there should be a ethic (yes,i know this word) code in any player of a MP game,which is very simple > dont take stuff you havnt worked for at all or at least ask
Even more fun is that you accept people with such a disrespect of morale into your lines
.Guess donating money doesnt warrant to judge a guy a few weeks before granting access into the lines.
Your choice,not mine.
 
Back to topic,this policy isnt acceptable and i expect from a game admin to have this situation better handled.
As how it ended is with a damaged KUMA on 1st AO and a fkking pissed and full of anger Scar.
I wont forget this,be assured.
As for now,im currently thinking of setting explosives to any side mission i clear so the reward gets spoiled to prevent similar issues.
Yea,i said it.
That s how pissed of i am.
 
 
 
 
 
And pls spare me the whiney posts - your assumptions of my gameplay or my mentality or similar is usually way off,so dont even try.
Got nothing worthy to add,simply dont post.
