That would also be a way to do it, I do however think that the balance was good before the restriction, so that would mean less balancing since we already know what works!

I find that completing AOs now take longer than before mainly because armour and vehicles don't get taken out. I am aware that the number of AT slots should be enough but the realities of EU1 often get in the way of the ideal situation.

A light AT class or just whitelisting the non-lockable launchers would seem like a viable solution to me.

Although it is not made explisitly clear within the content of the post I see this post as wanting to recruit players to play together on our servers in a more serious way. As such we are going to leave the post here for players that want to team up and we encourage people to play together within this community. 
 
However our stance on advertising and recruiting for other communities still stands and will be enforced strongly

I've been long at thought for quite some time now about stepping away and it isn't just from AW, but from many aspects surrounding the gaming community. I've got ongoing IRL issues which really need tackling and where I thought coming into the gaming community (namely Arma 3 & AW) brought me a bit of solace I think it's having more a negative impact than anything. Turns out it was just a temporary escape. Burying heads in the sand is not a good option. 
I don't want to delve into personal reasons or anything like that, instead I'd rather just say thanks to everyone for the fun I've had being around the AW community specifically.
@Xwatt and the others involved in giving me the opportunity to become spartan and public mod, I really had a great time in those roles even though it was a brief spell, hopefully I did the roles well enough for you guys. @Lindi for the assistance and added fun during that brief tenure, as well as @itsmemario and @Geb.
 
The list is far too long to tag everyone in, but for anyone who i've played alongside on AWE over the past two years then know that i've had some of the best times in those sessions, and i'll truly miss it. 
 
It's been great being part of this community, I wish everyone the best ❤️❤️❤️.
 

It is with a heavy heart that I am officially announcing what will likely be my complete departure from AhoyWorld. As I have mentioned to some, I will be stepping down from the Enhanced moderator team on June 19; this will be paired with an indefinite hiatus from the community as well, though I fully intend to return when I can.
 
In December of 2017, I enlisted in the United States Navy, with my boot camp date set for June 20th of 2018. After boot, I will be going straight to my respective school, and will likely be deploying after that (this will easily encompass the next 3 years). I will be limiting any computer usage strictly to studying during this period. 
 
To those members of the Enhanced realm of AhoyWorld reading this now, thank you for being my friends and family. I have tried my best to be a player, a moderator, a teacher, and a counselor; and if nothing else I hope I have succeeded in being another human being that you were always glad to talk to. I have spent a good 1,700 hours on Enhanced alone, and have seen many people come and go. Throughout the three years I've spent racking up those hours, though, my mind has never changed that both the server and AhoyWorld in general are diamonds in the rough that is the rest of the Arma 3 community. Nobody will ever be able to duplicate the truly unique things that you all share. 
 
I will still be active up until the 19th. I am just making this notice ahead of time so that I have a proper buffer to wrap things up with, and so that I'm not rushing to get a message out right before I have to leave. You'll still see me on Enhanced as often as always, and on TeamSpeak so long as I'm awake.
 
Regards,

Hello,
 
We've decided to merge the Veteran and Field Ambassador programs, as they basically do the same thing and are in need of a refresh.
 
So all the current Field Ambassadors + Veterans who mostly play Enhanced will become Field Ambassador Enhanced.
All the current Field Ambassadors that play EU1+2 will become Field Ambassador Public
People who mostly play Squad will get Field Ambassador Squad as well.
 
This system is here to allow us to expand in the future if we want to add any more games to our servers and to give our most helpful members recognition for moving the community forward. 
 
It'll look like this on Teamspeak (This person is a field ambassador on EU1+2, AWE, and Squad):

 
We will roll out the new naming system in the coming days awaiting the communities opinion.
 
Thanks 
AW Staff

Yes it is, the player was ignoring hes role. In my view transporting people to the action is the most important thing on a pilots todo-list.

At the moment I see the rewards causing a lot of grief when someone camps the reward.
 
Problems also arise when a reward vehicle is lost, some player have a tendency to instantly blame an admin / zeus, because naturally mere AI could not kill such a skilled player!

Amentes is right, we had an instance of a squad camping base until side mission the other day. Which I could have lived with but the squad had a dedicated CAS pilot. That just sat at base in the Orca and later in the rewarded Blackfish gunship untill the next side mission spawned. This went on for a long time despite me repeatedly explaining the importance of providing transport services for the team in the mean time.

I also agree that laying it all on an admin to take care off with our common sense isn't possible or even fair to the admins. I mean even with the Zeus interface you cannot keep an eye on everyone all of the time.

The only down side to removing these rewards is the loss of variety and fun in operating something that is a little uncommon. At the present tho the pros of removing the rewards out weight the cons quite a lot in my mind.

In this instance there wasn't an admin online, how do we proceed then? you could complete 3 side mission in under an hour not many admins may be present to witness that either, what do we do then?
I will not task our admins to monitor who does and does not partake in side missions just to find out who is eligible for the rewards, Its just not feasible.
After all we are there to enjoy ourselves as well. I understand the frustration that things might not go your way but remember, we are not here to detriment peoples experience, it is in fact quite the opposite.
So rather than bemoan about our admins, why not try to come up with a proper solution like other people here have, not just "gut feeling and common sense"
Might I suggest we remove the rewards altogether and just concentrate on FOB assets?
 
 
 
 

More action this time on EU2

Coming soon! I got a very busy month so im going to make the Spartans host the next few

Having recently become a spartan for AW, as well as a few others, activity on EU1/2 in terms of Zeus' should be relatively high.
 
As such, i'd like to know from you guys that play, what is it that you'd like from us to make things more exciting/interesting/generally better for you for either/both:
 
1) Pre-determined AO's or side missions.
2) Our own custom made zeus missions.
 
Try to keep in mind the limitations of Zeus abilities. We're not Dev's ?

Wazup AW-Players and forum users!
 
My name ist Matteo and i have been playing on AW-servers for like 2 years now and now i decided to be a part of the community.
I'm from Austria and i'm 20 years old atm. 
Before i tried out AW-Invade & Annex i used to play on other non-popular servers and quickly lost interest in Arma 3 cause of instability and trolls. 
Thankfully a YouTube Guide made me try out AhoyWorld EU#1 and i fell in love with the server stability, active admins [Shoutout to AW Staff @Lindi ;)] and in general, friendly and somewhat "professional" playerbase ?.
 
Because of the active community i finally had some friends to play Arma 3 with because noone of my reallife friends plays Arma 3. They say it's just too complicated and not rewarding enough. Only if the knew ^^
 
I'd like to say thanks for providing such a great experience in the Arma 3 world :).
 
Cheers
~Matteo
 
 

Or a week by week basis? Tanoa, Malden, Stratis, Altis

Exactly my point.
 
Yes I wish there was more squad cohesion on EU1/2 with a degree of Chain of Command, and I wish there were the mods for the cool guns etc, but its the actions of the players that make the moments, not the system used per se.

Thanks for the assistance last night, much appreciated.

Unless BIS makes changes to underlying functions that break the mission, I&A should work tomorrow. We have a new version ramped up to deal with a few issues relating to automatic restarting of the mission, and I'm looking to put a hold on that version so we can integrate the new vehicles into the mission.

I see people miss so much and as hilarious as it is, it needs to stop haha

Thank you to everyone who shown up - stay tuned for future public gamenights!
 

It has been a pleasure working with you, sad to see you off the team. Still hope to play with you on the servers!

Hi everyone,

Over the last year and a bit I've put a lot of my free time into Ahoyworld.  Right now the time has come for me to take a step back and leave the staff team, I'll be taking a break of an undetermined length. This because I've been spending just a bit too much of my free time as Ahoyworld staff.  I need to get my priorities, like my real life, straight again. There are no hard feelings between me and anyone from the staff team.  You'll still see me around on teamspeak and on the server but as just another player.  
 
I'd like to thank everyone for my time on the staff team, I truly enjoyed it.

Greetings,
 
after years of playing Arma on and off, and in case of Arma 3, mostly on the Ahoy Server, I decided to join and say hello officially since I am interested in getting into some more team-focused stuff than just the random hijinks on EU#1.

I am about 30-ish and from Germany. I am not really a shooter person, I mostly play creative games and management stuff, but Arma has been a thing I keep coming back to since the early days of Arma 2 (I owned Arma 1 but that has been so long ago I barely remember playing it). Even on the public servers, the people here have been a nice enough bunch. I know the base game fairly well, don't have much experience with the "Enhanced" mods, though. When not playing on a server, I usually practice with helicopters. CAS with planes and UAV I am at least decent at.
 
So, on to some nice teamwork, I hope.
