Very positively surprised by getting friendlies and most helpful! Thank you for your vote!

What a difference a year makes, this time last year we were looking at closing shops and now I would say we are pretty stable for at least another year

 
As mentioned numerous times before, thank you all for your support and long may it continue.
 
I would like to apologies on the delay of IA4 and its new AWE counterpart, it has taken a lot longer than we had anticipated due to a number of reasons. (real life) Hopefully it wont be too long now.
 
Lastly, This will be my last update, I have decided that I will call it time come the end of this month and step down from the staff team completely.
I just want to thank each and everyone of you for your support especially those in the staff team and to those that brought me in, helped me along the way and trusted me at the top, thank you, you know who you are ❤️
 
Over and out x

Hi folks,
 
Here's the thread to provide comments, questions or criticism for Invade & Annex 4.
 
Current changelog (version 040):
1. Loadout automatically saved when arsenal is closed.
2. Fix for units can't ride in helicopter cargo.
3. Fixed Team Leader, Spotter added to UAV chat channel.
4. Tweak to gear removal daemon (CTRG marksman had SPAR17 removed despite it being in default loadout)
5. Players may now see other group's waypoints (useful for showing helicopter pilots where to go, for example)
6. Tweak to hostage rescue mission (rescue addactions may now disappear after being used, thus allowing the mission to complete)
7. Tweaks to automatic parachute script (previously worn backpacks were not restored)
8. Added weapon optics, muzzles and bipods to gear restriction script.
9. Tweaks to vehicle respawning in attempt to fix it.
10. Added Sling Weapon action.
11. Tweaks to blufor tracking and spotting, you can now spot civilian and teammates. Spot timeout increased to 60 seconds (from 30).
12. Deploying chaff/flares in base zone now doesn't count as firing in base.
13. Tweaks to vehicle ejection detection so parachutes are only applied when required.
14. Added NVGs to default loadouts in CTRG.
15. Fix to destroy artillery mission (mission wouldn't complete if arty partially destroyed or uncrewed)
16. Added respawn report button to IA4 menu.
17. Tweaks to handleHeal event handler to attempt to reward medical actions.
18. Tweaked fog settings (default: no fog).
19. Added skyscraper buildings to Pyrgos and Kavala.
20. Added enemy mortar support; mortar team occasionally spawns in main AO and targets players in the area. Enemy mortars target with RED SMOKE and after they are sighted in, will fire HE shells.
 
Our next beta test is tonight at 1900 UTC.

After heavy consideration, I've decided to cancel the Sunday Zeus Operations. I feel now is the best time, as we have ended the Malden campaign, and I feel cancellation now, would be better than doing it halfway through the next one.
 
I've decided to stop for two main reasons. Firstly, personal time constraints mean that I no longer have the ability to feasibly run these missions. I have to test new versions, plan the mission during the week, and then dedicate pretty much all Sunday to making the mission (2 hours to build, 2-3 hours runtime.) Secondly I have been feeling extremely burnt out from the Sunday Operations, with my motivation and excitement for them steadily decreasing, to the point where it's feeling more of a chore than an excitement.
 
Hopefully this won't come as too much of a burden, I see Midnight's upcoming Unsung Vietnam campaign has been genertating lot's of excitement beyond what the Sunday Operations ever have. I believe that them missions will still keep the community entertained on a weekly basis.
 
I hope to run a PVP event once every 2 weeks for maybe an hour or so, keep your eyes open for further details.
 

IA4 change logs for 067 and 068; 068 will be tested today at 1800 UTC.
 
068
---
NEW
1. Engineers, Pilots and Armor crew have a new action to add emergency fuel to a vehicle that has no fuel.
2. Any role which has access to the Air channel may now use the button in the IA4 menu to add or remove themselves from the channel. Intended for Squad leaders who don't want to hear air chatter.
3. Added Livonia camo uniforms to default western arsenal.
4. Added Quality of Life features for Zeus users:
- canned admin messages
- ability to delete objects while not in zeus
- admin scripts submenus available (and can be toggled)
5. New rule for picking up non-class or non-faction weapons: instead of not being able to run, you will have an increased difficulty to aim. (setCustomAimCoef=4 instead of default 1)
6. If you are incapacitated, there is a small chance every 4 seconds that you will wake up.
FIXES
1. Zeus/staff players can now donate points and purchase rewards without having any points.
2. Refined success condition for enemy mortar subobjective.
3. Attempt to catch error when player attempt to join role before fully connected to the server (prevent 'Error: No Unit' in squad list)
4. Reward point donation to team/group.
5. Only Vortex group members can fly Transport aircraft (previously: VIPER pilots could crew/fly Vortex vehicles)
6. Contact DLC woodland uniforms were accidentally added to Sniper/Spotter kit; added for all roles to select.
7. Error in Destroy Radio Tower secondary mission
8. Added all base magazines to arsenal.
9. Pre-purchased gear configuration (taking gear from arsenal no longer disappears)
10. Being nearby a destroyed subobjective will no longer delete your vehicle; you still might take damage from an explosion, however.
11. Fixed secondary missions to improve performance. Enemy unit composition has been lowered in all missions.
12. Armed/Unarmed UGV reward fixed, should now work
TWEAKS
1. Reinforcement air vehicles spawn further away, and despawn further away.
2. Changed IA4 menu: toggle map markers button moved to map/diary link.
3. Changed method for detecting player interaction with primary / secondary objectives and moved to client to improve server performance. Message to player on these engagements also changed to be less intrusive.
4. Additional information on teamkill/incapacitation situations.
5. Rending an OPFOR mortar disabled in any way will destroy the spotting UAV.
6. Attempt to get enemy subojectives off the roads.
7. Hold Actions now have percentage hints to show progress, in the event that BIS' progress icon disappears.
8. Destroy artillery secondary mission tweaked to encourage actual firing of artillery shells.
9. Enemy CAS lessened slightly. Should reduce instances of multiple enemy CAS in the air, unless there is a lot of player Air.
10. 50% chance ambient AI spawns will prefer players with high scores.
11. Tweaked custom smoke screen deployment (will only run on clients within 2km of smoke deployment).
067
---
NEW
1. Added reward point values chart to map diary. Reward points are modified by the difficulty setting, and also by the skill level of the unit killed, so this may not be consistent from game to game, but is rather a base value.
TWEAKS
1. Overhaul of opforAwarenessDaemon script to improve performance.
2. Increased readability of dynamic text on map (spotted vehicle time codes, player titles, vehicle despawn and delock timers)
3. Default grenadier loadout for basic NATO: sand tracer magazine changed to black tracer magazine. Default autorifleman for NATO: added 1 tracer 100-round magazine.
4. Removed Secure Intelligence Documents subobjective as wonky
5. Added more vests to Western Arsenal
6. Tweaks to enemy CAS support
7. Overhauled enemy reinforcements code for performance and minor errors
8. Tweaked position / distance / opacity for in-world player name tags, especially for wounded players. Wounded players will now be visible up to 200m. Your squad mates are visible up to 60m. Other non-wounded team members are visible up to 20m.
FIXES
1. Underbarrel-launched smoke grenades were bouncing contrary to intended behaviour.
2. Fix to cleanup script accidentally removing non-dead vehicles.
3. VIPER crew able to fly CAS helicopter alone, fixed, requires full crew in helicopter
4. Fixes to reward point donation.

A Collection Of Screenshots From Malden Reprisal (Week Nine)
 

You wont be rolling with that on I&A though. 😉
 
Out of all the vanilla weapons allowed, I typically go for some sort of MX as they just work, ammo is plentiful and they hit hard enough.
 
Marksman I usually go SPAR 17
 
AT I'm going to be using a Titan and hopefully taking a vehicle for rearming.
 
L/MMG i tend to go MXSW or SPMG.
 
Always carry a few smokes, a few grenades and about 10+ mags.
 
I never carry a pistol as the weight of a pistol and some mags is way heavier than a several extra mags for my main, and that holds more ammo.

side misson with smuggler spawned on swamp with some funny results:
 
 

Mission Name:
[EU2] Zeus Operations - Invade Stratis [Week Three]     (Three Week Series)
17:00 UTC
 
Server Details:
IP: 144.76.82.169:2602
Port: 2602
 
TS adress: ts.ahoyworld.net
TEAMSPEAK MISSION BRIEFING FOR ALL PLAYERS WILL BEGIN AT 17:00 UTC
 
Expected Mission Length: 120+ minutes (may go over or under expected mission length)
 
Player Slots: 60
 
Brief Summary:
Last week, we invaded Central Stratis. Our Assault is coming to an end, and soon we shall return power to the Government of Altis. This week we shall conquer the heart of AAF's superiority, Stratis Air base. First, we will head North. Here AAF are holding down at the Kill farm, and they are expecting us. Fear not, we are stronger than ever. Secondly we must tackle the AAF Military Range, before we head into the fortified town of Agia Marina. Here we can expect CQC, and for the town to be littered with AAF forces. After this, we will make our very final push in our attempt to Siege Stratis. We must Raid Stratis Air base, which in no doubt will be heavily fortified. We can Expect high AT and AA presence. The End is imminent, and our final push will no doubt put Stratis back into the arms of the Government.

The following handbook contains all the nessersary information you need to know about Advanced Medical Protocol and Practice on the MSO server.
 
Please note: This is a Work in Progress
 
 
 
MSO Medical Handbook.pdf

I am currently building a Guerrilla campaign, which will focus on defeating the corrupt government forces and outside invaders in order to free the country.
 
Your rag tag bunch of rebels will start with little but as your faction grows you will gain access to more resources and assets.
 
The question is which map would people prefer as you the players are the ones going to be playing.
 
The choices are Malden or Livonia.
 
Benefits of Malden are that is free and everyone can play, Livonia has massive forests that would fit this style of play.
 
Choice is yours,
 
Midnight

Hello AhoyWorld Guys😘
 
For me the game was fantastic for the first time
it is important that we always have a group with an AhoyWorld team leader.
I saw a recording of TWITCH from XWATT yesterday, you can all see how you play (funny because see me playing 😂) but when you see the recording, you don't see too much action like more enemies, we have to walk too much like we come to the misson is then completely past the other group have reached the misson.
I think more needs to be done, but guys, it is my opinion what I think.
 
but for the rest it is also a loved 😍game, I really like the game, the teamwork is much better
I look forward to the next Sunday😉

Came Across this today and thought it's worth sharing;

converted into years - since the dawn of EU1, there has been 156.2 years worth of playtime, on EU1. 😮
 

This is going to be a long response, but let's just get into it;
 
 
This, right here is what confuses me the most. Plant1ing, you are an ex staff member, and someone who we have held to the highest of standards over the past years as a role model to newer players. You knew your actions would cause toxicity, yet you went ahead and decided that you would want to tarnish your own credibility. Why do you feel a need to test members of staff or spartans, as if you should be the one who pushes them to the limits to see how far they would go to eradicate you, it's wrong. For all of this to be reversed, all you had to do was talk to us, which YOU, YOURSELF know you took the wrong path in what you did, yet you are trying to justify it as correct? you are battling your own balance betwen right or wrong and it's hard to find what the true motive was behind all of this. If you know it's wrong, why do it, you have so many other means to get to us and this is the one you chose.
 
 
Blatant lies here. You literally invoked teamkilling half the time you were on.
# 18/06/2019, 17:30:50 : (Side) HadesTookShitTooFarSon: Ryuma lemme check how my HEAT flies toward you
 
Clearly, your intention was never to teamkill then was it? You didn't do it. but we're talking about intentions just like you said yourself. Calling pilots and players Hyenas and Peasents is absolutely degrading, and you know this yourself, even if you don't aim it at certain players, which you did, so clearly again you've littered this with lies to make it look better.
18/06/2019, 18:06:18 : (Vehicle) HadesTookShitTooFarSon: hyena whigital you good pilot?
18/06/2019, 17:30:80 : (Side) HadesTookShitTooFarSon: Let's see if hyena Gaz can fly
 
 
Let's be honest here, you didn't break any rules, but your intention was just to be a bit of dick (mind my language - I can't put this any nicer) and see how far you can push these admins and spartans before you do what they want you to do - kick them. At an early stage we identified you were Plant1ing through your GUID - and we did what model admins should do - give benefit of the doubt. Even myself, I thought you maybe had a bad day, and we would see if you were to actually break any rules, but instead you decided that you would want to ruin the gameplay of others - through your own free will instead of doing what's right. As an ex staff member you should know what the correct thing to do is - which is the complete opposite of what you did yesterdsay.
 
To say that admins and spartans had no part in communicating to you is again, complete lies, as seen below,
18/06/2019, 18:17:67 : (Side) HadesTookShitTooFarSon: Zeus i still think you can do better than strafin us peasants. Perhaps some Falcon?
18/06/2019, 18:16:84 : (Side) RiverWolf: Zeus's are NOT allowed to randomly spawn assets in for players
# 18/06/2019, 17:30:50 : (Side) HadesTookShitTooFarSon: Ryuma lemme check how my HEAT flies toward you
# 18/06/2019, 17:30:15 : (Side) Admiralbumfluff: Hades, please don't announce an intention to TK especially when AW Zeus's are on
Moreover, the Spartans told the admins, and the admins informed CS about what happened, and look where we are now.
 
The spartans here took the correct course of action - they clearly responded and told you what is and isn't within their limits, and they did not exceed the boundaries at all, therefore to say "you recieved nothing" is complete and utter lies. Moreover, if you are trashtalking everyone and everything for no reason - They will ignore you.   Players and Admins have to see players trashtalk like this, day in and day out, and it has now become nothing more than you just ignore this. it is not breaking rules to act like a complete egotistical ape, you are just labelled as a dick and you will be ignored by admins/spartans/players, pretty much everyone.
 
On the point of "My solely intent was to provoke normal course of action of AW admins as they are instructed to do." Plant1ing, who made you the judge now in the ways we deal with players, it has been an awfully long time since you have been staff, the ways that you deal with players compared to the ways that we deal with people have completely changed in that span of time. What we see as acceptable may not be the same for you, we might be doing our job perfectly followng our guidelines, how do you know what we are and aren't instructed to do? you don't have our admin guidelines, how can you possibly be the judge of this?
 
 
we do, I sat through 30 pages of you talking to make sure I had the full background picture, even if I was in the server at the time.
 
 
Plant1ing, i'll be honest. Amongst Core Staff, Admins, Spartans and members of the community you were seen as a role model, and someone that new players could go to and get an experience of what AhoyWorld is about. This one little action has done nothing of benefit except tarnish your credibility and reputation at Ahoyworld.
 
You are always welcome here, granted if your behaviour reverts to that we have seen before this event occured. I wish you the best luck in the future and everything that it holds for you.
 
- Xwatt
 
 
 
 

Thank you all so very much.
Thank you to the Academy.
Thank you to all of you in this room.
I have to congratulate the other incredible nominees this year.
TheScar was the product of the tireless efforts of an unbelievable cast and crew.
First off, to my brother in this endeavor, Mrs Xwatt. Your talent on screen can only be surpassed by your friendship off screen … thank you for creating a transcendent cinematic experience.
Thank you to everybody at EU1# and AHOY … my entire team.
I have to thank everyone from the very onset of my career …
To my parents; none of this would be possible without you.
And to my friends, I love you dearly, you know who you are.
 
And lastly, I just want to say this: Making TheScar was about man's relationship to the natural world.
A world that we collectively felt in 2018 as the hottest year in recorded history. Our production needed to move to the southern tip of this planet just to be able to find snow.
Climate change is real, it is happening right now. It is the most urgent threat facing our entire species, and we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating.
We need to support leaders around the world who do not speak for the big polluters, but who speak for all of humanity, for the indigenous people of the world, for the billions and billions of underprivileged people out there who would be most affected by this.
For our children’s children, and for those people out there whose voices have been drowned out by the politics of greed. I thank you all for this amazing award tonight. Let us not take this planet for granted.
 
I do not take tonight for granted. Thank you so very much.
