    [Suggestion] Add a pilot to each squad, Remove Alpha Rifleman + AT.

    Having (TS REQUIRED FOR THIS SLOT) next to the slot in question

     

    We will not be doing this.  AhoyWorld doesn't have a policy of excluding anyone from our community or any function of it unless they have proven to be someone who doesn't respect the community.

     

    Our admins don't pick and choose which rules to enforce the enforce breaches in rules they can see according to our guidelines.  If you think otherwise, please let me know of an occurrence and I will investigate.  We take that sort of thing rather seriously as you might imagine, that sort of admin is pointless.

    As for adding rules and other information to the map isn't a bad idea.  Adding the teamspeak address to the map caused problems when we shared the mission possibly we could included in the internal AW build and not in a public one, will talk to the other guys about this.  

     

    Some of the player community (a very small part of it) does have the Call of Duty attitude to arma and well there are plenty of people who do go lone wolf even those that you would consider to be tactical players will charge in front of the main group and not stay in formation.  If they wish to play like that we aren't likely to kick them at the end of the day AW creates a fun environment within a tactical setting that is for everyone.  

    I would like it if everyone who joins the server played tactically all the time, I would play on our server all the time if that was the case.  Unfortunately you get 12 Year Olds who think they are General Patterson, who wouldn't know tactics if it marched in a column formation at them.  We have our tactical gaming nights and they are awesome.  I like to think our public server does offer the chance for tactics but I would hate the community if to keep that tactical setting we kicked anyone who went lone wolf, kick anyone who goes a bit further ahead of his squad, kick anyone who won't fit my boxes of what makes an ArmA Player.

    And again i think we need to advertise teamspeak allot more in our server. And make it a requirement to have pilots fly.

    We cant make that the case due to some members having hearing difficulties making it hard for them to use Teamspeak.

     

    How would you advertise the Teamspeak differently?  Our server reminds the players every so often that there is a Teamspeak and admins should be trying to get the plays to use Teamspeak where possible.  Just looking for ideas :)

    [Suggestion] OPFOR Players

    in AW Invade & Annex Development

    What about adding maybe 2-5 OPFOR player slots for say a small amount of (maybe ts only) guys to plant mines, traps and such like to cause the BLUEFOR more hassle and such like... Maybe include a system like the old ArmA2 Insurgency where they click on an opfor unit on map to spawn as them (to save AO moving hassle) and then from there they can move and position etc... They could go AT blow helicopters, hunters etc.. Plant mines, claymors etc.. 

     

    What do you guys think? 

     

    I think this could be scripted in to the mission so that there were mine in roads and in open areas around AOs.

    [suggestion] AW Steam Community

    I am trying to access the Facebook, Twitter, Steam Community and all the other stuff.

     

    I was hoping to take some of this stuff on because its really important that we get seen.


    Quite Simply the Passwords aren't recorded for any of us Core Staff to use.  We need to be given them specially.  We use a system called Buffer which allows us to post on Facebook and Twitter simultaneously and random intervals, but I have forgotten the password for it.

    I agree with what Noms says on this, adding OPFOR as the mission currently is would be more likely to degrade the experience of the BLUFOR players rather than adding to their experience.  I did however have an idea, what about an OPFOR commander?  Someone who can issue orders to AI squads to generate more of a tactical element to OPFOR.  As it is at the moment they just generally mill about in the AO rather than take up strategic positions or react in a realistic manner to BLUFOR attacks.

     

    That would be good! :D

    New US Server Launch

    in Events

    Posted

    Hello AhoyWorld Members

    As of yesterday our US server is now officially a thing!  But what does this mean?  What is going to Change?  What do we do!?

    What Does this Mean!?

     

    What this is essentially going to mean is that more North American players should be appearing on the forums and teamspeak.  We have created a channel called "ArmA 3 (US Server)" to accommodate the US Players.  I hope that if you see any US Players you will be yourselves and be the lovely people you have all proven to be!

     

    Having this US server should hopefully mean that we can give North America a taste of the AW experience that we have all come to love but from the North American players it will be the AW experience with less ping.

    What is Going to Change

     

    As little as possible, the US server has the same mission, rules and the ban list is the same as well!  So if someone sods about on any of our servers they will be locked out from them all!  We are going to have more admins to manage the two servers and also some of our existing admins may pop to the US server to help out and vice versa.  Its worth making it clear there is not to be a them and us from either side AW admins are AW admins and will have the same level of access as one another and should be treated with the same respect.

    What do WE Do?
     

    Keep playing on AhoyWorld Servers of course!  We owe the fact that we can set up a US server to you guys making AhoyWorld such a success!  Be yourselves and welcome the US players into our community and help them get settled!  If we have any events I hope that both US and EU players can attend and play together on equal terms.  Hope to see you all on the battlefield and chat to you all on TeamSpeak shortly.

     

    Special Thanks!

    Thank You to Jester for providing us with the Server and we hope together we can expand out community and create a great experience that can be shared worldwide!  We are two continents down only 2 to go (Antarctica not be possible or having a large enough gaming community (or just general population in the first place.))

     



    Many Thanks,

    AhoyWorld Staff
