Thank you all for participating. Next year we will have a new format for you to fill so it should be easier. Once again congratulations to the winners and we will see you next year.

Welcome officially! 😁

Evening all, I've played I&A3 on and off for a while now, but Uni and a slightly terrible laptop have put a stop to that since summer. However I'm now home, and have a new laptop (on which ARMA is downloading on as I type!)
 
I know I met some of you last night, but I'm looking to get a bit more active!
(If you do need to refer to me, I'll respond fine to either 'Possibly', or 'EOD', but the second can get a little confusing in some ops!)

AW Role Model 2020: @Xwatt...wait...reformed @Xwatt

I realise I opened up the armour debate again and would like to maybe out forward a solution for people to (rightly) tear into and try to improve upon as a community effort.
 
So please ignore who I am and what you think about me but tear into this as much as possible to try to find a solution to it.
 
Armour squads.
 
I&A 4 demands squads as it is centered around this. And around encouraging team play.
 
There may be many ways around this but my thought is this.
 
Too much armour tears everything appart. Even one man in one tank at the right range and vantage point with good aim and full ammo will clear out an AO. We have seen this multiple times.
 
People want freedom and to pilot what is rightfully theirs.
 
Only spawn powerful assets such as heavy armour with large caliber (or rapid fire) main cannons after a points threshold or an AO threshold is met first. So either buy them or wait until they are allowed to spawn.
 
Then scrap the armour squads. Make it so anyone can pilot ground vics. Enable more custom squads so that people can hop in said earned Vic with their friends that they have invited into their squads or play alone in. Make the custom squad lockable so that if you kick someone out the squad they cannot get into your squads vics. This solves the player problem.
 
Next is limit the amount of heavy vics on server at any time, include any heavy asset that can wreck AO's or solo stuff to maintain balance.
 
This is just my begining thoughts and I'm sure there are things I have not thought of or about and arcane scripting stuff I have no idea about but that is why I need input.
 
Any criticism welcome !

If I join the armor crew in I&A4 and use my points to get, say, a Varsuk, I am then forced to share that vehicle with whomever else is in my crew because I cannot lock it for just me nor can I leave the squad and still be able to use it. I don’t want other random people in a vehicle I have earned as I simply do not trust just anyone to be competent enough to keep the thing alive. Others are also in the habit of sitting in the commander seat and stealing kills. My killcount is mine and I don’t want someone just sitting there and taking the points. Or someone driving the thing right into ao and getting us killed.
 
I like being solo in my armor or tank. I don’t want to be forced into a slot and squad to do this because I cannot just use a reward I buy without doing so.

I am going to be frank and hope that you see my honesty as constructive and not complaining for the sake of it.
 
If you keep I&A 4 in it’s current iteration, it will change the climate of EU1. I started playing Arma on EU1 and stayed because I enjoyed the relative freedom it gave me to pick and learn a role and also squad up with whomever I wanted to and have my friends in roles that they wanted to play as well. I enjoyed being able to earn reward vehicles and drove them without needing to change slots to do so. 
 
It was also simple and fairly idiot-proof. A great place where new players can learn and also feel welcome in the AW community. 
 
I feel that while I&A4 does have positives to it, I just am not motivated to play it. I feel restricted and overwhelmed . I do not like the map and that I cannot see all the objective markers at all times. i don’t want to grind a few hours just to get the loadout I enjoy playing with. It is changing what was a casual server into something less so. You have AWE to offer a more serious experience for those wanting it.
 
I also wonder if you, Ryko, have spent much time on I&A3 and seen what makes it so special and also the sort of players who regularly play there and how they approach the game. I wonder if the changes are even being made with the current player base in mind or if these are taken simply from the perspective of experienced and more serious players.
 
So I ask that you conduct a little experiment while the beta is up. See how long your regular players are on server for compared to I&A3. Look at guys like TheScar and Pickle who easily log some of the most hours on EU1. Players that are the backbone of your current community.
 
I personally average seven hours a day playing Arma and had the best weekend this past weekend with a lot of fun and bullshittery. I have made friends and feel part of a great community. I fear these changes will take a lot of that away and it makes me incredibly sad.
 
I am sorry if this comes across in any way badly as that’s not my intention. I hope you will see this as coming from a passionate player who is invested in not just the game but the community too.

(Missing categories will be filled in as I think of them)

Can you have the markers for all active objectives show like the previous version and not only show when it’s been assigned? I get that we need map awareness and all that but while traveling, if one stumbles across the side mission or something and dies it wastes time and resources. 
 
This also helps in objectives being completed more effectively as all players are aware of active tasks at all times.
 
Also I am not a fan of how the map currently works in terms of markers for vehicles and infantry. The previous one feels a lot a cleaner and easier to use. I didn’t even use the map yesterday because it didn’t offer me anything beneficial as markers seem to fade fast and EI are not marked. 
 
My reason for bringing these points up is that you have a lot of new and casual players on EU1 and these small things plus the increased difficulty of missions makes it frustrating and will probably result in teamkills, players not wanting to play due to frustration with mechanics and difficulty etc.
 
To be honest, I still have a better, more fun gaming experience on the old version because it’s simpler and I enjoy clearing buildings of EI. Please put EI hiding in buildings again!
 
The aspects I do like are the point system and the more structured main objectives with tasks to complete.
 
Would I play this version instead of the old one if presented a choice, especially as a relatively new player? No. I was frustrated, annoyed that I kept dying trying to get out of the old AO because infantry don’t despawn, annoyed that I kept getting one shot by EI over 700m away.... 
 
I think AW need to look at what, ultimately they want from this. Is it for the experienced players, to offer a challenging experience? Is it for the casual players? Will newer players stick around, eduring the more challenging aspects and dying often to master the new version?
 
This is a long post and I am sorry but the TL:DR version is - would players play this over 3? 
 
 
 
 

Not been on much so very little scope for voting.

Well this scenario basically happened tonight with getting to a recently spawned side mission only to have a single player clear it so this point is moot. Players will find ways to get kills and points, especially as in the current iteration anyone can use anything they collect in the field regardless of role.
 
Another point. I wanted to join another squad as a sniper. But in order for me to do this, well I can't. Whereas in I&A3, I could just take the sniper slot of which there are 2 anyway, not upsetting the server balance, and therefore then create a new squad with others in their roles. There is no imbalance as these roles remain static and the server still only has so many of one kind.
 
So, if I want to play sniper for example, I am limited to being in a squad of two. 
 
Also, squads and squad creation are bugged presently. 
 
I want the fun clothing options in the arsenal, such as safety vests and paramedic outfit. It adds an extra layer of fun. I also didn't pay for DLC's to have limited things offered to me. 
 
I don't know. At this point, I will play because there is no option but I am not enjoying it and will welcome a server running I&A3 concurrently should this go live.
 
I will go back to my previous statement and add another thing. Spend time on I&A3 at peak hours. See what players do. What they enjoy. Join in and actually play with us and have fun. The good elements of I&A3 that players love should be preserved and not removed because ultimately you will have no players left and they will seek another server to play on that fills their need for casual fun. To be honest, the general mood in the community since beta has gone up has not been a positive one and you should heed this. 
 
And this is the last I will say on this at all. 

Still getting the thing with the AI, They're still really bad when it comes to 1 shot, I haven't really noticed any change from the last version since I mentioned it.

I am going to be frank and hope that you see my honesty as constructive and not complaining for the sake of it.

I'm maybe a few years late on this, as I used to play alot a few years back (under KillerCamCam), took a break, Covid happened, came back, decided to be social and join Teamspeak this time. 
 
Just wanted to thank you all that know me for making it fun, really been enjoying getting back into Arma, glad to see Ahoy is still going strong

whilst I had maybe <1hour on beta so far (will try more to get a proper opinion, promise), my instant reaction was it seemed very much steered more towards the ACE/advanced level of Arma, less flexibility on roles or what you squad up with. I can't speak for everyone in EU1 playerbase but I've always seen it as "casual sim", people want to have squads and kinda be organised but not to the point you can be in the more realistic/military sim type servers, which is why I play on ahoy over the other more sim like/advanced servers. I guess the point I'm trying to make is, is I&A4 an upgrade for I&A3, or a server in its own right in a same way Ahoy has other servers with more realism built in?

(Will try to fill in the blanks later)

In my opinion the armor crews aren't really fit for I&A, alot of newbies play it and it's a casual game mode, it's not AWE. For me, I&A is a game mode you can jump on and play solo or with a group depending what you want, that includes playing armor solo. In I&A 3 I can do a sides until i get an MBT and enjoy solo crewing it. In I&A 4 if I want to play armor, I'm forced to join an armor crew and people that I might not know/ like, or simply never play armor, because I prefer and many others do prefer to play solo. Not forced into a group. If I wanted to play with crew/ in a group, I'd join a group in I&A, or play AWE. If the reason for armor crews is to limit the amount of armor pieces, just limit the amount of tanks allowed at the same time. Also, I believe this would make APCs be played more. Since choosing a specific role for playing armor and then choosing the Marshall isn't very common.
 
Everyone in the group can buy vehicles, so why can't everyone in the group lock them? The owner of the vehicle should be able to lock it, not the SL. The Orca, Hellcat, Kajman and Xi'an all have transport seats, and it could be annoying when you land at base and someone rushes towards the chopper, gets in and starts asking for transport.
 
That is, of course, what I prefer and my opinion is.

I am going to be frank and hope that you see my honesty as constructive and not complaining for the sake of it.
 
If you keep I&A 4 in it’s current iteration, it will change the climate of EU1.

I feel that while I&A4 does have positives to it, I just am not motivated to play it. I feel restricted and overwhelmed . I do not like the map and that I cannot see all the objective markers at all times. i don’t want to grind a few hours just to get the loadout I enjoy playing with. It is changing what was a casual server into something less so. You have AWE to offer a more serious experience for those wanting it.
 
I also wonder if you, Ryko, have spent much time on I&A3 and seen what makes it so special and also the sort of players who regularly play there and how they approach the game. I wonder if the changes are even being made with the current player base in mind or if these are taken simply from the perspective of experienced and more serious players.
 
So I ask that you conduct a little experiment while the beta is up. See how long your regular players are on server for compared to I&A3. Look at guys like TheScar and Pickle who easily log some of the most hours on EU1. Players that are the backbone of your current community.
 
I personally average seven hours a day playing Arma and had the best weekend this past weekend with a lot of fun and bullshittery. I have made friends and feel part of a great community. I fear these changes will take a lot of that away and it makes me incredibly sad.
 
I am sorry if this comes across in any way badly as that’s not my intention. I hope you will see this as coming from a passionate player who is invested in not just the game but the community too.
 
 
 
 

I am going to be frank and hope that you see my honesty as constructive and not complaining for the sake of it.
 
If you keep I&A 4 in it’s current iteration, it will change the climate of EU1. I started playing Arma on EU1 and stayed because I enjoyed the relative freedom it gave me to pick and learn a role and also squad up with whomever I wanted to and have my friends in roles that they wanted to play as well. I enjoyed being able to earn reward vehicles and drove them without needing to change slots to do so.
