    Stepping stone server

    in The Ideas Box

    Posted

    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.

    You know, I'd love to hear what Giddy thinks about this. He made a post with an idea that I, personally, was all for. But at some point, it was turned around almost 180 degrees, and I haven't read anything by him since.

     

    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.

    After re-reading Giddy's post, this is what is wanted:

     

     

    That's essentially EU3 modset without extra maps and no ACE. Yes, maps are a big part of the current modpack size - actually about half of it -, but they add a needed variety. Without extra maps, the only real alternative is Altis, which is a great map, but playing it 24/7 gets repetitive.

     

    So, the request here can be resumed as "EU3 modset without extra maps", right?

     

     

    For me personally it's not just the mods that are used it's the huge list of rules and regulations you have to follow to be allowed to play EU 3 and i don't understand why people who have no intention of playing EU 1/2 and only play EU 3 are getting so worked up and have such a strong opinion on why they don't think this is a good idea. I would never think of voicing my opinion if it wasn't going to affect me, This one topic has shown exactly why there is complete alienation from the community.

    It feels like you're looking for a category for EU3, which I don't think it has. Milsim implies ranks and a fixed hierarchy of roles, often even requiring to address by rank and sir / ma'am. EU3 has none of that. Everyone can join whatever role they wish to take, with many customisation options and no requirement to use non-magnifying scopes or iron sights as a regular rifleman.

    Perhaps you got us on the wrong foot or didn't listen closely enough when you played on EU3, but I am 100% sure that we love banter and to relax.

     

    Everything you might associate with milsim, i.e., command structure and roles, comes with using a radio mod and the desire to be organised. The realism mods we use, like RHS for weapons and uniforms, are just what the playerbase likes to use from personal preference, not because we are dead-set on simulating reality.

     

    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.

    When we had that discussion the other day I didn't realize you thought this. EU3 is anything but milsim.

     

    That wasn't the discussion i was talking about Colsta in that post, But i have no way else of explaining EU 3 for the people and there reasons for why they don't play it. How would you explain EU 3 so i don't use that terminology again?

    Have no idea what i did here^

     

    Let's not forget the Training sessions.

     

    Giddy - have you taken advantage of these sessions?

     

     

     I have played EU 3 and i don't enjoy milsim or the poor fps, That's why i made the post because of the encouragement of the admin at the time to try and bridge the gap. 

     Don't look at me, i only play on eu3 when i have the time :P but i remembered i used to play with the official mods whenever i was on eu1/2 and i tought it was a nice touch.

     

    Also i have to agree with Parabolic on that 'get out' idea ;)

    This topic was created to see how the admin and the community felt about it and for those question's you asked to be answered.

    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.
