Mission Name: [EU2] Public Zeus Op Game-night - Wednesday 04/04/18
 
Mods required: None, or Public Repo mods.
 
Brief Summary: Yes! A game night on EU2! You read that correctly. I am proud to announce the introduction of the first official Ahoyworld Public game-night hosted on our EU2 server. 
 
So what exactly should you expect?
 
The game-night will consist of a variety of different types of Zeus ops all around the map of Altis - Each mission made intricately by the Spartans and public moderators of Ahoy. These are the types of missions you should expect to run into on the night;
Hostage rescue missions Attacking an enemy FOB Attacking a town fortified by CSAT And much more!             
Lastly we will finish with a defence mission - where you must hold off from an incoming CSAT attack.

See you there!

Hey guys,
 
Over this month we've been overhauling the Teamspeak permissions as some of you have a lot of issues sometimes with overlapping permissions etc. 
 
Every Server group has all the permissions of the group before
 
Guest -
Can Join all public channels
AW Member -
Can create a subchannel in [Create your Own Sub-Channel]. Can access general file browser
Donator -
Can join the Donator channel, Can access donator file browser. Can poke Core Staff 
 
Most of these changes you won't see as it's mostly for the benefit of staff.
 
The channels will do a bit of moving and updating, however, all the main channels will stay the same.
 
I'll post again soon when all the changes have been implemented

basically,what xwatt said is standard routine and will most likely work out,also typin !admin EU1 report + name of offender is usually enough to get a admins attention.
Not to forget that none of the people doing admin duty is paid for the time they r spending on it - so please dont expect an answer instant.
 
Then there s different ways of handling the issue,like:
- talk to the offender via chat making him aware of the issue
- screenshot and fill a report on the website
Remember,there s so much minor BS happening that people feel the need to call in admin for it s ridicoulous admins actually giving a fuck about (stuck WASP,broken choppers,change of time,change of weather,server restart to fix client fps,etc)
 
Aaaaaaaaaaand,you can always apply for the admin program for EU1# or 2#

Squad Server - now available at an AhoyWorld near you!
 
Hello everyone!
 
As of today, 16 February 2018, we have opened up a public Squad server.
 
For those who don’t know the game, Squad is a teamwork-focused tactical shooter in the same vein as Insurgency and Arma. Logistics, manoeuvre warfare and combined arms all play a part here.
 
In accordance with this, we want to foster a similar environment to our very own AW Enhanced: serious, fun gameplay encouraging camaraderie above all.
 
The server is available 24/7 and those that are interested are able to apply to become a moderator here.
 
We will look into which game modes we want to establish, but rest assured that community events are without a doubt going to be a thing to mix it up and keep it interesting.
 
Brilliantly, thanks to the Steam sale, Squad is currently available for 25% off! So if this tickles your fancy and you haven’t got your copy yet, now’s a better time than ever to pick it up.
 
Hope to see you on the battlefield!
 
Cheers,
The AW Team

Finally finding time to sit down and write this.
So, I've been thinking for a while now and I'm going to be leaving the staff team this Saturday the 17th. I've already discussed this with the team and I reckon they'll do just fine without my brilliance, so I'll leave you all in their very capable hands.
It's not a decision I've come to lightly, but in all honesty, I'm finding it rather frustrating. Ryko said it best himself - "Only do something in your free time until it isn't fun anymore" and frankly, it isn't fun anymore.
I expect to still be around on the server from time to time, but I think part of this will come with a temporary break from Arma (expect to see me in Squad if I've got some time, though!) and from the community here.
Now, for some shoutouts before I lose my staff impunity 
Bare in mind that these are totally my own personal opinion and don't reflect on the rest of the team at all.
@Minipily & Crew (can't remember the others' forum names)
You lot have been a big source of frustration for me at times, but then on the flipside, provided some of the most fun I've had on this server since I joined it - and for me, that totally outweighs it. You and Johnson in particular have been some of the most knowledgeable, down to earth and helpful people I've met in this community, despite all of the hate that gets thrown your way.
@MoonFire
You're a pain in the arse, but see above. 
@Noah_Hero, @Amentes, @Ryko & @Stanhope
Some of my mentors when I joined the server at first. I learned a lot from the three of you, so thank you for that. I know we've all gotten frustrated with each other at times for various reasons but I'd like to think in the end we're all better off for having learned from each other.
@kennychr
The MSO on Lythium was some of the most fun I've had playing Arma in a long time. I didn't think I'd ever be able to be entertained by walking in the woods for hours on end and being frightened by every rabbit or snake I see moving, but here we are.
 
I could go on for days here, but I think it's time to stop and just get it over with.
Thanks folks, it's been fun. 
See you out there

Hello everyone,
 
We've become a bit nostalgic from the old days and have uploaded I&A 2 onto EU2.
It will be live this weekend only.
Obviously, it will be different to what you are used to with I&A 3, however, the core gameplay still remains
All normal rules apply
All mods are the same
Back are the days were AO's are random and you have one base to operate from.
 
Hop on and enjoy

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,
- Ahoyworld Outreach
 

Юрий555, thank you for the ban appeal.
 
Ingame you were questioned by one of the administrators on your behaviour, you did not respond but chose to disconnected from the server. 
You were observed by a Spartan, he saw you trying to teamkill a helicopter.
 
In the past you also have been asked to clarify your actions but you never responded. You were banned yesterday for three months.
 
The three month ban remains.

Hello, so the member squad XML isn't working properly. So I've transferred everyone's details over to a new one.
Please replace the old link in your profile with the new one if you are apart of the member squad XML.
New Link: http://armasquads.com/user/squads/xml/ba0V1ckWTr19KmjjTNXvHyNILqO2hyjz/squad.xml
 
Please make sure you copy and paste this without any mistakes as it may mean it won't work for you if you don't.
If you still can't get the member Squad XML to work or any others please send me a PM.

You were wrong even assuming that you might be unbanned with that name. This is not a funny subject. It is not a joke. People have and will take offense to this.
 
This is a 30-day ban, however, I'm going to upgrade it to a permanent ban.
 
Ban Remains

After looking back at the chat logs it appears you were having a conversation with someone in the same vehicle as you, this person wasn't replying in chat, so i can only assume he was talking in voice chat. Unfortunately, this means you cant apologize to the person.
 
To quote you on 16/09/2016 "20:15:22 : Vehicle: Fluke: admit it, you like fat n**gers...."
 
Because its been over a year since the ban i am willing to unban you. Any further misbehaving will result in the ban being reintroduced.
