Ahoy,
 
I thought now would be a suitable time for a community update, as the title suggests I have a major announcement to make, and the last community update was in March, so I think the time is right to give the community an update about the current situation at AW.
 
Xwatt Leaves Core Staff
As the title of this community update suggests, I will be stepping down from CS. The main reason for this is that my own personal schedule has been getting increasingly busy and with that, I feel that I cannot the devote the time to AW that it deserves, therefore the sensible decision would be to step down. @Ryko always puts it best, real life comes first and must be given priority. I'd like to thank @Mark T for giving me the opportunity to become a Core Staff member, and I would like to thank the current CS team, and the staff team for the support they have given me over the years. But most importantly, I would like to thank you, the community, for backing me and supporting the decisions I have made in the past few years in an effort to positively move this community forward.
 
On a brighter note, I would like to congratulate @MidnightRunner and @Norris, our new members to the Core Staff team. I have no doubt that these two will be able to make a positive impact to AW for years to come, and they have my full backing for any decision they will make. Midnight will be taking over the role of AWE manager, and Norris will be taking over the role of Public manager. I would like you all the congratulate these two, and I want you to support them wholly as you have supported myself.
 
I&A4
The development of I&A4 is now back into full swing, and masses of progress has been made in priming it for public release. Just under a week ago, we completed a full 100% run of the mission, highlighting the progress in stability and allowing for persistent mission progress over the span of a few days. Please continue to leave your feedback in the dedicated I&A4 feedback thread, it is immense help in aiding Ryko to develop the mission. Feedback can be anything from bugs and missing items, to your feedback in how you think mission should be played. All feedback is welcome, and ultimately will shape the end product for the mission.
 
 
AWE and Gamenights:
AWE has had a ton of progress since the last community update in March, and we will continue to support the growth and development of the server for the foreseeable future. Currently, the server is rotating maps and factions after every one run of Liberation, and this method is aiding in keeping player retention, compared to the two runs that we did in the past. Support has been mostly positive for the switch back to CUP and ACRE, and we will continue to listen to community feedback about how we can better improve the server. Be sure to attend our Liberation Sunday events, in which you can find information for that in the events section of the forum.
 
As for Midnights campaigns, we are currently in a transition period between moving towards a new campaign in both the Tuesday, and Friday operations. For the Tuesday campaign, this will be moving towards a zombie orientated mission, and the Friday campaign will be moving back to the PMC series, and more information about that can be found here:
 
 
Alongside Midnights missions, we have two gamenights from @BenjaminHL planned, keep an eye out on the events section of the forum for the dates of those missions.
 
Final Note:
As always I want to thank the community for helping us to move forward in a positive direction. I want to thank the donators for their continued support in keeping AW financially stable, even during a pandemic where peoples income may be reduced. Being a community powered by your donations is a portrayal of the support you have for our community, and we will continue to make the suggestions and needs of our community the focal point before any major decisions are made.
 
On a more personal note, I would like to thank all of you for the support you have given me as Core Staff for the past few years. I have absolutely loved it, and it is with regret that I have to step down, but I am in no doubt that this community will continue to live on and prosper, as it has done since it has been founded. I would like to give my personal congratulations to @MidnightRunner and @Norris, both of you have my full backing, and I am excited to see the progression of AW a few years down the line from now.
 
Thank you all,
Xwatt & The CoreStaff Team.
 

Not an ideal solution but could it recognise if you kill certain units - say crew members - and have them valued at a much higher score. Obviously not ideal and comes with its own problems, but the vehicles are only as good as the crew inside them after all. If a player disabled a MBT and then killed the crew after they bailed, he would be rewarded for his efforts 

Side Mission Request:
 
Destroy EMP Device: The enemy have deployed a highly sophisticated EMP device capable of disabling vehicles and other pieces of equipment. This must be found and destroyed before the enemy can move it to the frontlines. Vehicles in the mission zone will shut down and devices such as nightvision will fail.
 
Not sure if something like this is possible? I was thinking in terms of vehicles, when they enter the zone, the vehicles run out of fuel or otherwise shut down and the weapon systems onboard cannot be used. Also not sure if nightvision can be made to not work when inside the mission zone.
 
Again, an ambitious and fun sounding mission I thought, but outside of mods, I'm unsure of how practical this could be?
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Sub Objective Request:
 
Destroy Enemy Scrambler: The enemy have deployed a highly sophisticated Scrambler in the AO which is scrambling our Bluforce Trackers. This must be found and destroyed!
 
Effectively for this, when it spawns, place a large and highly opaque black shape on the map in the sub objective area (size of your choice). This would effectively mean that the players would not be able to see targets that have been spotted in this area and would not be able to see the landscape of this area.
 
I think that could be fun because it adds a level of mystery to some AO's. Where a Scrambler is active, players are left in the dark of if there is any friendlies, enemies or landscape features in that area until it is destroyed.
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Let me know what you think. Again, the Side Mission may be a bit ambitious but the Sub Objective is something I see on quite a lot of I&A missions and I believe it could bring some interesting gameplay.

@Ryko Think the AI need dialling back a little bit, so many pin point head shots last night from miles away was crazy 😆

Not a fan of the map markers fading, clutter on the map has never been an issue which needs to be sorted. 

I have no idea if this is would be difficult to implement, but it would be nice if players could set a preference that when they log out of I&A4 their murder coins are distributed equally to the side.  I tend to forget, and have to log back in to give them away in the instances when I actually remember to log back in.
 
I'd say if it's easy, do it, if it's difficult, ignore this request.

Stalker would be really dope

The test went very well today, so we're going to keep the server running 4 until at least Wednesday.

Note:
The playable slots have changed since the last mission. There are now 4 squads of 6, 2 of which have a medic, 2 of which have an LMG team.
The command team now has a dedicated FAC/JTAC, who will be responsible for all air traffic and will have authority to grant CAS within the ROE set by the ground commander.
These two changes will help ease the burden of command and reduce the chatter on the command channel.
 
The last major change is the addition of a "Phoenix" team which comprises of 2 combat life savers and their own dedicated pilot. Their job is combat medivac and treatment and they will be coordinated by the FAC.

Thanks,
 
Ben

Other Notes:
This is a Gamenight that was created and will be Zeused by BenjaminHL.  If you have a mission that you would like to run for our community, please use our Gamenight request form found here:
 

Ahoy all, 
 
Hope you are all well! 
 
I would just like to update you on the status of the server upgrades. As you all know we have recently upgraded our primary server, Flagship. This upgrade has gone very well and we are happy with the performance increase that we have experianced.
 
We have Just ordered the new server that will replace Valient, the box that is currently running MSO and AWE events. This box will have the same specification as Flagship with the difference being that the server will have an extra 500GB M.2 drive. This is to allow us to accommodate the mods and modsets that the modded gamenights require and support the headless clients that we run to ease the load on the main server. We will keep you updated on the progress of these developments to the Ahoyworld infastructure! 
 
The Corestaff team

...with the added benefit of having more TL roles. Starting small and progressing from there as your experience grows is a good thing in my opinion. 

Not quite,
 
There will be a 3 man command element (Leader, Medic & ISR Operator) with 6 fire teams of 4 players and 3 Vortex slots. These fire teams are split into 3 layouts with there being 2 of each type:
TL, 2 X Rifleman, Engineer TL,  2 X Rifleman, Medic TL, Rifleman, Auto rifleman, Auto rifleman Assistant   

French gear?
 
something like "13hours" is planned?

OPERATIONS ORDER 21032020
 

Ahoy, 
 
In this hectic period inside and outside of our community, I feel now is a good time to keep you all updated about all the changes and updates we have to share with you that we have been working on over the past few weeks and months here at Ahoyworld.
 
Server Upgrades
I won't say much more in this then what has already been mentioned in a recent announcement in the news section of our forums. In short we are in exciting times here at Ahoyworld, where thanks to the generosity of our community, you have facilitated the ability for us to upgrade our servers, so we can continue to sustain this community for the many years to come. Undoubtedly though this not something that is cheap to do, and upgrading has took a bite into our reserves, and as we transition from server to server, our monthly price will increase drastically due us having to pay for both servers while we transition over, and the associated building cost for the system further increases our monthly paying price. For this, we have drafted a fundraising goal of €250. We understand this is not a small asking price, and we are not expecting people to go out their way and donate lots of money, instead we are asking for your continued support, and using our subscription model can be a viable way to do this.

With the upgrade of our servers, this means our ip's for our servers will be changing. We will continue to supply plenty of warnings and information to our playerbase, to ensure we give our players a fair amount of transitioning time. Once we are ready to share our new ip's, we will clearly outline where they can be located publicly. All server related information will be found in the following thread.
 
 
Gamenights
We will continue to supply weekly gamenight's to our playerbase, and continue to welcome new players that want to get involved. The spike in player numbers in recent game nights is a portrayal that these are a hit amongst the community, and we will continue to host these missions on a weekly basis.
 
@JANXOL War For Altis gamenight's will be continuing as usual, Every Sunday at 17:30 UTC and new gamenight announcements will be found in the events section of the forum.  https://forums.ahoyworld.net/forum/27-events/
 
 
As for @MidnightRunner Vietnam gamenight's we are in the final stretch of these missions, with 3 weeks left. A poll has been run in the following thread about what theme the gamenights will be moving to next. 
 
After a conclusive decision, the next campaign will be a contemporary campaign with a real world setting, and further information will be announced in the events section of the forum, so keep your eyes out for information about the upcoming campaign as we move closer to the final week of the Vietnam Operations.
 
MSO have now begun their sixth campaign on Altis, and more information can be found about that in the following thread:
Main MSO gamenight's are ran on Saturday, at 18:00UTC. The MSO team have made an open invitation to our game-night players and public playerbase about joining along in their sessions, I will refer you to the following thread for more information on this topic:
 
For More Information about MSO or how to join, do not hesitate to contact @Johnson or @kennychr, and they will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have about joining the MSO operations.
 
Mission Testing
I&A4 beta testing will resume as normal from next week, and please keep an eye on our discord for time announcement's of when we will be hosting beta tests. We are in the final bug crushing phase of I&A4, and we hope you are enjoying the next iteration of Invade and Annex.
 
Preliminary talks have begun backend about transitioning the mission over to AWE, and we will share more information as talks and testing progresses.
 
@Ryko has begun testing of a new gamemode called Operation Chimera. In short this is a PVP/PVE gamemode. There is an attacking team who attacks laid out objectives, and a team that must defend them. The Attacking team is more of a special operations force, who get night visions and suppressors and UAV support, allowing them to defeat objectives using Stealth. (once the mission starts it will begin at night, with it gradually moving to sunrise dependant on the time taken for the objectives to be complete.) The defending team on the other hand are more conventional forces, and do not have gear such as NVG's, and therefore must rely on flares, solid communication and strategical placement to spot the enemy forces.  The defending team also get's AI fire teams that aid them in defending the objectives. We recommend hopping along and trying it out for yourself to get the full experience.
 
The timing of these missions will be announced on discord, often 2 to 3 hours before the start of the event. Operation Chimera uses the War For Altis Modset, and the link to the workshop playlist can be found here
 
Final Note
As you can see above, this is a very exciting (and busy!) time here at Ahoyworld, and we want to personally thank you for your ongoing and continued support. We will continue to update you all publicly as we get new information to share, and hope that you will continue to support us for the forseeable future. It is the members that make this community, and we cannot stress your importance and significance enough.
 
Yours Truly,
Ahoyworld Core Staff

Bloody necro on this post, in times of dire need we should get this back up.
