[is this comunity stil alive?]

I'd say @Minipily gave a pretty solid answer to your question.

 

Unfortunately, a lot of different Arma 3 communities are experiencing similiar dry spell situations, it isn't purely reserved to Ahoyworld. The main contributing factor is that Arma 3 is becoming dated, and naturally, players will move on to other games.

 

Ahoyworld is recovering though, thanks to the re-introduction of EU2 and the MSO missions ran by the Enhanced team.

Hopefully once I&A4 is pushed out, full focus can be put into the release of AWE which I'm sure a lot of the oldies and newcomers will enjoy.

 

 

You can check out highlights from MSO missions on @Johnson's channel:

Along with the EU2 gamenights on the Ahoyworld channel (and @Xwatt's Twitch highlights):

Thanks a lot @Xwatt! How will I steal @TheScar's reward Kuma now?

[EU2 Zeus Guerrilla Campaign Map Choice]

Looking forward to it @MidnightRunner! Livonia is definitely one of those maps with a lot of potential.

 

Just bear in mind those precious frame rates

[What is AWE to you]

While I am a fan of more restricted faction-specific scenarios, I think that this should be purely reserved for dedicated operation nights as mentioned by @MidnightRunner

 

#EU1 is evidence that having a more open arsenal will add more replay value to the mission allowing players to group up and play as the fighting force of their choice.

As AWE would be readily open to public players, I think that this would be the better option.

 

Regardless of which option is picked, it will take time to build up the player count.

[I&A 4 Beta Test Feedback]

Noticed a few things while testing the I&A 4 beta and it is the following;

 

*Issues;

- Grenadier squad role is missing gear/item options from the Arsenal

- AI soldiers do not appear after being bought from the reward menu

- On one occasion, a Hunter HMG I bought from the reward menu spawned in the ground and flew into the air (ex dee)

 

*Personal Suggestions;

- Add the regular MX for all squad roles.
- Add the MAAWS launcher for the Light Anti-Tank role.
- Add more scope variants to the reward menu or Arsenal.

 

Obviously because its a beta version there are bound to be future changes, this is just my two cents.
