Fair enough, although there is a preview button in OBS for testing.

Hmm I didn't post here yet?
 
So, I installed ArmA III and went to search for random EU server to play on. AhoyWorld looked decent enough, so I tried it. I was happy with it, so I looked it up every time I played. After some time, I went to the TeamSpeak to check it out, visited the website, introduced myself, got some nice welcoming aaaaand ended up on EU#3 as well.

Nothing beats a divorce, thats what i call a liberation.

Behave on the servers
Follow the rules, and encourage good sportsmanship. Simply, encourage good behaviour and discourage people from raging/flaming. Tell people in a gentle manner when they're breaking the rules, let them know that what they're doing isn't allowed and give them a chance to change behaviour. If they keep on breaking the rules, get on TS and fetch an admin.

Help out never players
Answer newer players questions, both on the forum and ingame
Take rookies/new players under your wings, by inviting them to your group and make them feel welcome
Encourage your squad to go on TS to communicate better and get to know eachother, after all, we're a community - make some friends.


Try out different roles
It is important to know how the different roles play. Some people rage on pilots becase there isn't one at the heli pad the second they spawn, or because they get shot down by an enemy jet while in a hummingbird etc.

The different roles play quite differently, don't just yell for a medic if you're downed in a field where you're clearly visible from enemy troops, get someone else to move you to safety. Concider helping the medics by moving troops, don't put your medics in scenarios where they have to do all the work and then yell at them for a squad wiping.

If you know the different roles, it's alot easier to understand why different people act/behave in different ways, and you can use that knowledge to utilize those players better, making everyone happier.

Ahoy World is community of gamers in general, no need to be ArmA related
 
But yes, most of the players here do play ArmA III.

It's a lovely theory, but the problem is we can't troubleshoot and test ACRE in a vaccuum.  And "bringing TFAR back" involves a fair amount of work rescripting Gauntlet.
 
The bug right now is that if you join a game in progress, you will be able to broadcast to other players over the 152 and 117F, but other players will not be able to broadcast to you.  The 343 and local speech should work just fine.  So if you join in progress, you may have this bug; I'm not 100% sure but I think picking up a new radio from the radio box may solve it.  Either that you existing 152/117F players must get new radios to talk to you.  So you could be a good sport and bring new 152's and 117's into the field with you if you are a JIP player.
 
Unless you are experiencing any other bugs?  If so, please comment.

I hear people wanting TFAR back, but well. I don't think it was/is realistic enough. But it is for long that everyone knew ACRE was planned, and eventually we are using it, and even through the bugs, i myself sometimes just go, "THANKS ACRE", actually i do that pretty often. But i still believe that we should try to fix those bugs, as the well known now "JIP BUG" that is being worked on right now. There is something about ACRE that makes it better than TFAR, (realism, positioning, radio wave disruptions,actual sound wave simulation, and many other things ) and i like that something. :>




 

Personal life should always be priority number one, take your time and see you on the battlefield when you eventually come back!

I see a lot of people talking about different camouflage mods, British, German, French and all that. 
And obviously if we added all of them, there would be 20+ camo mods at the end. 

But i found something that in my opinion could be somewhat a solution:
 
Killochs Multi National Pack is the answer

Tell me what you guys think about it.

That's when "editing the rules" comes in, as staying in the AO would require logistics at lower player count.

I don't disagree but your point is not dependent on you taking the role, others could take this role, or perhaps you could lead the squad and invite a newer player in to coach them? I don't think you'd find many people saying no if the offer was out there.
 

I know you offered on the training nights which is great, and I don't disagree that some players can be a law unto themselves, but simply giving up on them isn't the answer either and is plainly arrogant. I am reasonable new here and it's been quite clear from the beginning that the success of this place is totally dependent on the players, especially the more experienced like yourself - you can make or break it by either being open and welcoming or shutting the door whilst you do your own thing.
Apologies to Zak for taking this off topic.

It'd be nice to get a dedicated medivac callsign, and have a medic in the heli/vehicle to treat the person en-route to base. That's something we're really lacking on with the medivac helis we already have on every map.

STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES

I've always been of the opinion that "should be" is too easy to misinterpret, as has been the case for many players on the public servers.
 
"Are encouraged to be" would be a far better phrase, in my humble opinion

In the new update version 0.34B
 
Added the Ace revive module, which will change certain aspects of the game;
The ability to be revived from the death state by any medic, with a PAK and inside a MEV (medical Evac Vehicle) 300 second timer unless CPR'ed until you can die in the death state Once you have been revived from a dead state, you cannot enter the death state, and you will die if you enter the death state again. To be treated upon in the death state, you'll have to be in a stable condition. If unconscious, you can still be brought back to consciousness. The people who take the role of medic, you may have to get the help of a spare unit to keep CPR'ing the downed player to keep them "alive" until a MEV is around to be brought back from in. DOES NOT effect AI units.                                  

Johnson is senpai.

I'd totally play that.
Or the Vietnam.

Firstly note that most the people in the picture ARE actually playing separate other games, waiting for there friends to wake up and join them.
 
I'm guessing this picture from this morning which is when only they were awake. After mid-day or so most of the groups are online and most those channels become filled with 3-7 people all playing those separate games.
 
What's the big issue with people playing with there own group of friends and on there own separate game? Channels just become a cluster when you have 5 groups trying to play separate games. 
 
Not to offend anyone but we also have a handful of users who i'd class as being hyperactive and speak far to much sea wrap. 
 
Forcing people to all be in one/two/three channels will only lead to disgruntled users and probably even less users on teamspeak. 
Because who at the end of the day wants to get on ts to play a game that isn't arma but have to listen to 10 other people talk at the same time. It would be terrible communication.
 
One question mainly is WHY is this a big issue, no ones doing any damage, it's not harming anyone, so why remove a perfectly good system?

I made my own channel for peace and quiet. This morning I've been hungover pretty bad, so I haven't wanted to talk to unknowns who might have their microphone gain at 100% or some such.
 
Also, that screenshot is from around 10am, not too many people were on then and I'm not just going to barge into someone elses game channel to talk when I'm struggling to hold my breakfast down.

I am agreeing with josh on his points 
 
To many time people just left when we in 1 channel with multiple games it gets realy anoying when people start to yel over eachother over a diferent game 

Having your own channel if you play a game on your own or with a couple guys, either as COOP or something similar, I support them creating a channel and maybe even locking it.
 
But I agree people creating social channels and then locking them or just creating one to sit in it by him/herself is not what staff wants and did not meant by introducing this "feature".

Currently ^^
 
You can see I highlighted the part after the War Thunder channel, because that is an important reason why there are so many channels.
People like to play a game, so they make a channel for that game so other people know what they are playing, and maybe join in. Plus you are not talking through each other talking about other games.
