Just a little advice when something similar happens, it works in all the situation were people have anger. I try to do it myself aswell:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Take a walk.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Really, it works.

This thing about luring people to other communities honestly seems little paranoid.
It's not like we are MMORPG hardcore raiding guild, freaking about losing key player(s) in middle of progress.
 
Been there, done that + all the Dramas, Ragequits & Flamewars™. I'm almost crying with nostalgia (almost).
 
PS:
I would speak for giving Liru some leeway about his ban appeal post. He wrote it shortly after ban and was clearly angry (who wouldn't).
Crucifying him over it is child's play, but also perhaps opportunity to be magnanimous.

Been pondering if there are much owners of Hearts of iron 4 for potential interest in playing online session.
Would be interesting to see either pvp or co-op experiments such as coalition of minor nations.

Anybody ever said you look like Owen Wilson ?

Hello Nemisis...
 
it reminds of something....
 
 

Alright, alright, let me just outline a few problems, a little bug report if you will as feedback from myself and a few others from testing out the new arsenal.
 
-AT specialists need to click on a titan rocket launcher, then immediately go to their backpack and add the missiles. Doing it in any other order won't allow you to add the missiles to your backpack. Titan AP rockets are also missing, but I'd be willing to bet that that was intentional...
-The new nightvision/thermal goggles allowed in arsenal can only be equipped via arsenal, but if you bring them via inventory for someone else they get taken out of your inventory when you try to equip them because "you're not allowed to use this item"
-Saved loadouts can't be loaded, even brand new ones you make with the new changes can't be loaded in if you leave the server. you're able to reload any loadouts you saved in your current session within the server however.
-Deathstar UAV operator spawns with Darter backpack, but CANNOT get another one Via arsenal
-Mine detectors spawn on engineer and EOD specialist classes but cannot get another one VIA arsenal. Explosive specialist spawns with 2 mine detectors.
-the CTRG stealth uniform that isn't a Tee or rolled up isn't in Arsenal (one that fully covers the arms). Honestly I don't know if there was one to begin with but I've heard multiple complaints about not being able to have a full body stealth uniform
 
additionally:
-every class can still grab a UAV terminal via arsenal.
 
If you're doing this for Luetin (which is just a rumor, but a possibility)...
-Consider limiting the new Bergen backpacks to the AT class, there's no bloody reason to have everyone wearing the big new backpack, it'll just let everyone bring a sh*t ton of mags to the AO, something Lt is trying to put a stop to...
-If this is for Luetin, don't give us thermal hiding gear. If you watch his streams, the only way he can quickly find the players when he shoots at them is with thermals, so you'd just be giving him something to complain about later
 
On a final note:
There needs to be a discussion about telling your playerbase about the changes you're dropping onto the servers. The issue has become an elephant in the room scenario, and it needs to be addressed. weeks ago there were some minor changes made to I and A regarding co pilots along with changes to EU 3's unit structure, and slowly more and more changes have been made right under everyones' noses. While everyone can appreciate edits being made to ensure improvement to the game (which we are all very thankful for <3), I humbly ask that there is a method in place for you to tell us (things said in a TS channel through its description, an announcement in the forums, an edit to the I and A changelog) because, from a member of the community representing many other members when I say this, it's starting to get a little annoying to join into one of the servers and find the carpet pulled out from under you...

Just my two cents, I hope the bug report helped you in some way
 

srsly do you think its this easy to raise your postcount by bumping ANY goddamn topic you find here ?
usefull posts or gtfo - no offense
cant believe this ...
 
 

I also feel that the addition of a Long-range (500-1000m) Night Optic would be good for Snipers,
however I also see the point from the Staff point-of-view.

These were removed for being a little game-breaking when in the hands of people, who just want kills and, who aren't really co-operating with others (Lonewolfing).

It gives Snipers a VERY large advantage over others in most situations.

But given the fact that people rarely carry flares, and SHOULD NOT put themselves at risk by illuminating an area they're near, Snipers during night operations are at a HUGE disatvantage.

I never understood why they were given to Squad Leaders and not Marksman/Snipers in the first place.
From my view point, it should be Snipers/Marksmen using the long-range night optics as that is their role.

I have had some REALLY good gameplay working with a Spotter who called out enemy positions to me at up to 1200m when using a LRPS during night hours....
It felt extremely satisfying being directed to a target and then searching for them in the shadows/low-light before getting the kill.
But I would be MUCH happier if I didn't have to SEARCH so hard once someone spotted a target for me.
Having a long-range Night Optic is a must for Snipers during night ops.

So - Does anyone know of a way to get NVS working with AMS/LRPS (Mod/script etc?) ????
That would be a better solution in my eyes, than having Nightstalker.

If not, I would then like to add my name into the hat of people wondering if we could perhaps have Nightstalkers added back for Snipers/Marksmen and removed from Squad Leaders.

Also ... Ignore the name, I play all roles as needed.... I just prefer Sniping, it rewards patience.

For what its worth, frankly, it's not even worth the hassle. I will not argue against whatever verdict PERO comes to.
Personally I think that lobby idling is an issue that needs to be addressed. Openly i admit that in the script that you posted it shows that i was kicked for lobby idling. Thank you for taking the time to get that information. Also thank you for replying to my ban appeal so quickly. The whole ordeal was very professional and I credit you for that. Only time will tell what happens.

I think the marksman and Recon team should be allowed to use NVG And Thermal's. 

April fools i guess?
 

This topic was created to see if the Admin and the community supported the idea of another server or game night for Ahoy World. As of the current situation only two admin staff have supported the idea of this, I get the distinct impression that none of you want this to happen for what ever reason whether it would be no resources or funds, We have various people who are willing to volunteer to make this happen and we are currently testing Ace 3 on I&A to see how it performs. The mods i described in my original post were to get people on the same track as to what the end result of the server or game night would be. As of the the issue with some form of TS integration, I proposed the use of a minimal form of Acre 2 because i wanted more people to use TS to encourage more coordination and teamwork than EU 1/2. We are trying to find out what mods work best with the untested I&A and to get more feedback on the mods that people would like to see, If the server or game night is not well optimized or the mod file size is too big then we have failed to accomplish what we set out to do ie good fps and to reach out to more people who want to sample some mods.  

Because I've been completely disgusted by everyone's biased reactions towards my original post i have therefore decided to sit back and wait until the dust settles. And then we can hopefully all get back on the same track and not stay on the derailed one above. This was for the communities benefit not just for the potato squad as everyone else seems to believe.

Earlier I posted that perhaps everyone should re-read their own posts to reflect on what they are saying and how it's being interpreted, this suggests to me that you haven't yet done that and your statement is quite plainly untrue (also ironic).

--- I don't get how you can say any of this is untrue.... Or are you accusing me of lying about people saying they don't want to go to EU3 now, or about their reasons for saying that?---

As long as it's not offencive or malicious, I don't think there is a problem with it.

If your opinion or point is well measured and based on observations/facts, then it would be welcomed, no matter how much you think others may disagree.

---Going into someones thread solely to tell them NOT to try and improve the Community or support others ideas, should NEVER be encouraged---

 
xSniper1982, on 29 Mar 2016 - 15:55, said:
Given the earlier posts regarding inclusion of ALL the community, I don't think this is an appropriate attitude.

---Since when is asking people to be constructive and remain on-topic, not an appropriate attitude?---


I support the idea of a game night with less mods to see how well subscribed such a proposal is, but I feel there is a lot of misinformation (or lack of information) on a few things including how EU#3 actually works (if you haven't played on it then it would be difficult to know), and also how some of the mods impact the game, e.g. ACRE. A game night might help, or perhaps those making or supporting the proposal could do some research and make some informed contributions (e.g. like Gripe has) - this would go a long way to solidifying the proposal and building up more support.
 
 
---This is why I have been trying to ask people to remain on topic and offer advice/feedback and not just say ;
"it's a bad idea" or "If you want mods play EU3"....
I had a good conversation with some guys a short time ago, who offered some good advice and alternatives to some mods, and have thanked them for their input.
And yet you still act as though I am some kind of villain here.---

I will not be replying to you in this thread any further as you seem to be misunderstanding my intentions, and no amount of me explaining myself seems to change your opinion on that.
 

ofc you cant just wish for a server and  thats why people are making the forum threads so the community knows and some of the community members can help out with it.

Not at all, you're welcome to express opinions, as long as it is in a constructive manner, and on topic.
This is about giving EU 1/2 players a more engaging experience, and it's frustating for them when EU 3 players come on and tell them that they shouldn't get that.
We more than welcome the advice of EU 3 players, so long as it doesn't derail the thread.

Arkod there have been plenty of people that try EU 3 and find out they dont like it. Creating another server wont divide the community, did the creation of EU 3 divide the community. It did not it built it up, i believe the same for this new server.
Arkod you have stated your opinion now please drop it and let others speak. As i said in my post i dont understand why its only the EU 3 frequent players that dont want this to happen. This server will have no effect on EU 3.
And no this is not going to be EU 3 without the map packs. Its going to be a more free type of gameplay. a lot like EU 1/2 none of the strict MilSim like rules that EU 3 has. It will be treated like a Public server except with the only requirement is being on teamspeak.

So from the information i have gotten/read here are my thoughts.
 
Player's in EU 3 need to chill out, This post was made for the players of EU #1 and #2 to see if they would like to try somthing new and fresh,  and will not effect EU 3 at all what so ever so i dont understand why you guys are here disagreeing with the idea? 
 
 
The reason people want a light modded server is so they can have a different I&A gaming experience without the lag or having to download so many mod's. There is a server that is available and is not being used so it would not hurt to try it out and see how the community reacts. EU 3 is nice but its a little too much for some people and the level of gameplay just is not really what some are looking for. 
 
 
The Answer to Zissou's Questions  
 
Which Mods: ACE/ACRE  
Who decides which mod's to use: Mission Developer/Community (Limit 2GB)
Who is going to Build it: (Needs to be Decided) 
Who is going to maintain it: I am willing to maintain the server. 
 
 
Until we figure out who can make the mission Kieran Collier has volunteered to make a basic mission file with the mods included and the mission's can be made via Zeus. 
 
I have a few more thoughts, but i cant keep my eye's open lol. 
 
 
 
 
 

So much negativity...
I don't get this mentallity at all.

Promoting EU3 isn't going to help those of us on EU1/2 that want a little bit more from our experience.....
What part of this are you not understanding, as has already been pointed out, this is about EU1/2 players....
NOT EU3.....
 

^^^^^^^^^^
This right here 'YOUR' reason NOT to have the server ..
This... IS THE REASON WE SHOULD.....

EU 3 is struggling for players, because people aren't comfortable downloading all the Mods and then not get help learning how to play,
or just don't have the hardware capable of handling it.

The only reason there seems to be a DIVIDE in the Community is because most EU3 players don't even attempt to engage with the players of EU1/2,
us EU1/2 players are more than happy to engage in conversation and discussion with guys on EU 3..
However, few of them seem to feel the same way.
I count myself lucky that I've been able to chat with some of the EU3 guys and have a fun conversation, not everyone gets that chance, UNLESS they play on EU3.

Having that MIDDLE GROUND would be a good way to help ease players in to the way EU3 works/runs, and might allow for a few more people to move over and populate that server.

I don't see any negatives to this idea, only positives...
But I guess that's just because of the way I view life in general....

It can't hurt to test it out, if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out and things can go back to the way they are....
If it does work out, then everyone wins.

I miss used the word milsim i completely agree with that, But i don't know how to encompass all of the reasons why some of the community doesn't want to play EU 3, Maybe some of the community would like to play a Ahoy server with mods that doesn't take it's self too seriously, This is why this topic was created to get the feedback of the community that regularly play EU 1/EU 2 to see if they would like some form of variety, I think my original post was a bit misleading in terms of a fresh new server EU 5 but i only said that in my description because i thought i had the support of the people who encouraged me in the first place to make this post. But a modded game night on the vanilla servers is great option as well.     

Hello everyone me and a few of the community members were thinking of how we could bridge the gap between the vanilla servers ie EU 1/2 to the vastly modded EU 3. Because the servers are so different we feel that a semi modded EU 1/2 server would fill the gap, Possibly EU 5. This would give a bit more variety to the game play by using minimal mods on EU 1/2 maps and missions. This server would still give people the experience of team work but not be as hardcore. The mods we were thinking of using would be a Weapon's pack, Weapon Attachment pack, Uniform pack, Some form of a vehicle pack and less intrusive form of acre 2. Please tell me your thoughts if you think this is a good idea or not, Would love to get your feedback.
 
 
As of the recent issues in the comments below with some of the contradicting opinions of the community members i feel it would be in everyone's best interest to come up with a simple answer ie yes i would like this to happen or no it's not for me, I understand the reasons why some of the community don't want this to happen but this topic was never created for those individuals that had no intention of playing this server or game night. My original post wasn't meant to upset anyone it was a simple idea to see if people felt the same way but some individuals have taken it the wrong way. Thanks to the people who have expressed their opinion in a detailed way but lets keep it simple from now on.
