Good day everyone!
 
Let me introduce myself, Im Dylan, a 29 year old from Cape Town, South Africa.
 
Ive been playing a few games on the Ahoy Invade & Annex server, as there is very limited servers here in the ZA. After playing a few games, mainly as medic and having tons of fun, I decided its time to get more involved on the forums more. 
 
More on myself, I'm a graphic designer by day and big gamer. Apart from ARMA, I play a variety of different games such as Elite Dangerous, Battlefield, DayZ, MGS:V, Rust, etc. When Im not gaming Im usually drawing, mountain biking or surfing.
 
Beer is my favourite water.

Hello everyone,
 
I'm proud to announce that after a lot of hard work @BACONMOP has finished I&A 3.
I&A 3 will be the successor the the current I&A (2) that's running on the servers and has lots of different and new features such as a new medical system, the side missions now being linked to the current AO , a few "take-over-able" AO's and some nice things to do with the points you've scored playing.
 
 
We are planning on releasing it live this Sunday (23rd) at 15:00 GMT after which it can be played on EU#1 and EU#2 on Altis and Tanoa respectively. During it's launch we hope that as many of you as possible can come on the Teamspeak 3 server and enjoy the refreshing new gameplay together.
 
Before its release we would also like to make time for a community meeting specifically about I&A 3, where you can listen to how it works; but can also ask questions, which don't necessarily have to be about I&A 3; but could also be about AhoyWorld itself. 
The staff present will then try their best to answer their questions or when unclear get back to you with an answer at a later time.
This meeting would start and half an hour in front of the launch and would be from 14:30 till 14:55. Feel free to pop in at any time, but questions asked a second time will probably not be answered again; so it would be wise to show up from the start.
 
Feel free to GET HYPE down below and hopefully we will see you all this Sunday.
 
With regards,
MessedUpSmiley

Question: Is it possible to get a more detailed statement about what happened?
 
What happened? Exploit in software (and could it be prevented by an official update) Hack into the server (and could it be prevented by server admin / hosting company) Abuse of admin account (and was the admin called "admin" with password "admin") Could it have been prevented? By the team who maintains the website (update, server config, admin credentials) Or was it a day-one attack without any known fixes What is done to fix it? What is done to prevent it in the future? What will be done in the future to prevent it from happening again? Who was/were responsible? At AW side (simply "we as AW" is an acceptable answer) the thrid party who "got in" (if known) These are some questions which I always answer in case something happened, even without asking, so I'm surprised that we don't have these yet.
I'm aware that not all questions can be answered directly, a a bit more information than "shit happened but we're back" is too little.
 
 
Background: I've been working in web development for over 10 years now, and unfortunatally had issues like this as well. And I've learned that the most important thing is to stay transparent to clients/users/etc. and take your losses, even when it's not visible to them (which in this case did happen).
 

Unfortunately someone hacked into our database and stole some user information. The reason it has been down for so long is, Muckduck has been busy closing all the security flaws so this hopefully doesn't happen again.

We've been working hard the past week to bring the site back, everything seems to be in order now so here it is. 
 
If you missed the email/facebook/tweet/reddit/word of mouth for whatever reason you should know our database was compromised. You should reset your password here and elsewhere if it's the same. 

Hey,

There's a lot of us out there who play airsoft but so far I rarely see people talk about it or even show their gear. What's up with that? If you play airsoft you're a gear whore who needs to boast about it! Time to start sharing your guns and your load-out guys!

Here's all my guns so far:
-Cyma AK47 Whole lot of ABS but really great deal.
-Cyma Colt M4 CQB-R Full Metal, my primary.
-Walther P99 DAO (I think it's Umarex but I got it for free because it's a leaky son of a bitch.)
-KJW KP-03 Glock 23, also a gas spewing leaky son of a bitch, only 1 mag works with it, fun to shoot occasionally but half of the time the slide just freezes over...
-Blackwater 1911R2, my primary pistol. I use it for both IAPS/IPSC Steelchallenge and Skirmishes. Only pistol I managed to make a kill on the field with.




My back-up primary, the AK47. I have a few hi-caps and a few midcaps for it. Shoots like a dream for the money. Will replace the Compact Scope with a red dot when I get that in the mail. I'm aiming for a T1 compact red dot. Shoots 375fps out of the box with lowers at around 365fps. Last time I chrono'd it actually shot 380fps which means that it's currently too hot to do skirmishes with. I'll look into downgrading it or wearing out the spring a bit to get it down.

 
I love the scopemount I put on my AK, it fits around the regular ironsight and it allows you to still use it in it's lowest position, which tbh is only useful when you're really really darn close to your enemy

My primary-primary the Colt M4. Shoots at around 345fps, great range, great hop. Just does what you expect it to do and better. Was twice as expensive as my AK, but hey, full metal and all the licensing marks on the upper and lower. Also, that's me being super serious and definitely not posing at all. *cough* Scope is a Swiss Arms Compact scope 1.5-5x magnification and has both green and red illumination with 5 different intensity levels per colour.

 
Sonofabitch was heavy! It held the intel for the next mission.

 
Sniper had us pinned so we cluttered up behind a bush, did prove to be the most awesome photo ever!
 
Attempt at a charge, we failed and I was third in line to get shot...
 
And when I get shot, I call my f-ing hits. 'Cuz I'm not a scrub


Your turn now! Show your gear!

Last night I built something I'd always wanted to make since the Tanoa island was available, everything is as smooth as can be and can be driven at top speed in the hatchback sport although I'd heavily recommend slowing down on the eastern transition or you'll probably kill yourself. I didn't really make it for any reason than for fun but would you guys want this in I&A?
 

Dat feeling - when you retexture whole vehicle and you realize tires are a part of interior texture…
 

 
That's ugly  .. and I can't fix it =(

Hello everyone

As you're most likely aware we had our very first public AhoyWorld meetup last weekend, myself, @Bloo Flar3, @Dingo, @Gamerhero, @PiranhA attended with @Eagle-Eye arriving Saturday evening for Sunday. We had an awesome time both on Saturday and Sunday with Go-karting and Airsoft. We all arrived on Friday and had a tour of the park before collecting keys to the bungalow at 3, we ended up with a really nice spot overlooking the water.
 
View from the restaurant, there's a little ferry that goes over to the other side for €1, a really nice little village with some more nice restaurants.
 

 
Here's our bungalow, it's not much to look at from the outside but inside it was really nice and surprisingly spacious.
 



 
For go-karting we didn't have enough people to make a race out of it so we all had two sets of 24 minutes to set our fastest times, although it wasn't a race it was still really great fun trying to catch each other. The fastest times ended with Dingo in 1st with a time of 43.27, myself just 0.08 seconds behind with 43.35, Gamerhero with 43.95, Piranha with 44.34 and Blooflar3 with 44.85. The track was indoor but made great use of the space with a modest upper section ending in a long banking turn. There are plenty of videos of this place on youtube. Huge amount of fun!
 


 
After the Saturday go karting we headed back to the park, ate and waited for Eagle-Eye to arrive after a 4 hour drive a long work day. We went out the next morning for a long day of airsoft playing multiple different games throughout the day, very tiring but a huge amount of fun. Having only played airsoft in woodland before and with 0.20g BBs I'd been saying airsoft doesn't hurt, well this was CQB and using 0.25g BBs, Dingo came out looking like he had chicken pox.  Despite that it was still great fun. Here's a few pictures from the day: https://www.facebook.com/chapterfourairsoft/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1734571990138563
 
All in all it was an awesome weekend, the weather held out and everyone had a really enjoyable time. I'm already planning one for next year which will be around the same time, I'm looking at the 7th to the 10th but nothing is set in stone yet, if you want to come and you do have a preference on dates please PM me!
 

Hi all i am Jim from Greece. I bought arma 3 6 days ago so i am a very new player. Any instruction or tip is welcome. I enjoyed playing at your server so i decided to join your forum as well.
And a quick question. Should i buy Apex as well? and if i do does this include helicopter DLC or is it a seperate purchase?
 
Thanks and its good to be part of the forum as well.

The last two days I played everthing was working fine! The Arsenal had all ammunition that my class needed and the loading and save function was working great! Very good work AhoyWorld Team its even better than VAS because your weapon attachements also loading with the saved classes!
 
Many thanks for that!
 
Greetings

Just an awesome time playing on Tanoa with a bunch of cool guys! Managed to rally up about 20 people in ts and our group.

hi guys,
 
Discover your server last week and now play on him every week. 
 
Thanks for your work see you in game ! :=)

Welcome, from Austria.  

Welcome soldier! 
Jeez, thanks for reminder dude! I got my Ed tracker too but forgot about it completely! 

I started playing Arma 3 last August and found the very awesome Annex & Invade Servers! I played hundreds of hours Operation Flashpoint and gave Arma 3 a try.
 
With your Servers it gets the most realistic Military Sim experience for me! I love it  thanks for your hard work guys!
 
I am playing nearly every day and I am using the EDTracker as Headtracker and it feels awesome in the game. For the graphics I use the "Real Light V6" from the outstanding Reshade programmer "Solano".
 
I hope the Servers will run the next years and I also will donate some money but now I am short of money...
 
My InGame Name is "B4rtlbi3" (from the movie dogma-the fallen angel) I started with Maxsu but I changed it.
 
Greetings from AUstria and keep it up!

 

The thread below is some similar discussion that you can read up on @B4rtlbi3 if you want some more background information

TL DR: it's "subject to change" according to whoever kept edits my thread title >_>'

However, according to what I've heard around the block, our Ahoyverlords have been meaning to get rid of it for a long time. 

Just use the Arsenal for now  Bacon worked really hard to balance it <3

Can you implement it temporarily while the Armory gets fixed, It's not just broken it is really broken.
 
- No Designator batteries, even for JTAC
- Ammo issue
- Saved Loadout's will randomly Grey out and become corrupt.
- Explosives tab is empty all the time for most classes
- Grenades tab only feature the grenades and chemlights you already carry.
 

Yes, we have changed over to arsenal
