Primordial Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I have noticed over the course of my first week of playing on the Ahoy servers (EU#1 and EU#2) that there is generally a lack of teamwork and communication between players. People not responding to other players such as getting base AA online, asking for assistance at certain locations and not notifying squad members of your plans. It is a shame to see this happen on a server which focuses on more serious gameplay (when in comparison to typical server types such as Capture the hill). I hope that teamwork and communication can be encouraged more effectively within the community in its future. deadcookie and kman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McClane Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Some people who join our public server they would communicate, but there is so much crap going on in side chat most of the time that whatever is typed is ignored, which i agree is a shame... BUT we do have a team speak that people join to be able to communicate more effectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anyone Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 If you want more milsim isch type of teamwork then i would recommend EU3 otherwise try to get on the TS, people are usually more cooperative on the ts Patrik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Milsim stands for Military Simulator. EU3 is great for getting a lot more co-ordinated mission and communication. Definetly suggest checking it out! http://www.ahoyworld.co.uk/topic/5235-eu3-roles-weapons/ http://www.ahoyworld.co.uk/topic/3174-install-download-the-allowed-addons-the-modded-addons/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a bit too intense for me at this second considering im still less than a week old on this server. Thank you Sir Chuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Join teamspeak, get involved with the chaps in the eu1/2 channels I believe they communicate with each other. Many moons ago BIS fucked the in-game von so ts is deffo the place to be. TheToxicPixels 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MessedUpSmiley Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Thought this would be an EU#3 thread and problem. rickrock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakimDragco Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Unfortuetly smilley has a point, even EU3 has these problem from time to time, but yes what those above him seaid is true, there are a few veterans of the eu1/2 often on the TS, and they can definitly give you a hand at making things more fun for one.

kman Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Actualy - is there some add-on/plugin that modifies chat window? For example MMORPGs usually allow to split chat into several tabs, so you can easily have general/squad/private in separate windows preventing vital messages beign scrolled out by more messages appearing. Unfriendly/uncustomisable chat tool is bogging communication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Someone Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Potato squad is more or less a group of players who got tiered of the lack of communication and teamwork and thus began playing together. We're usually on TS (locked channel), but as long as there is room and you're a serious player you shouldn't have much issues getting an invite, at least not if we know your name. If there's already too many in that group though, you may have to wait - it's almost impossible to play and communicate once the group gets too big, hence the lock on TS. slick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think last time I checked, there were 16 of us in Potato Squad. However, I do believe that teamwork on TS is definitely the way to go on EU1 and EU2, although, given the casual nature of some of the players on there, you can't really blame them if they don't use it.

Can you also point out a solution you think is proper? Ive been playing on this servers for over a year an it never bothered me. It happens on arma 3, same was with arma 2 domination , even sometimes with ofp dragons rising.(4player coop) and also with cold war cri Flaspoint cold war crisis is the only game ive played so far were EVERYBODY worked together. The time were the internets was a one minded community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 play the server you like get to know the names and spot the ones that preffer team work and squad up thats what we did also keep in mind things typed in chat can get lost fast if the chat has a few players typing so asking for a base AA can be missed at times ahh the good old days huh Piranha that brings back some good memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebi Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 ...also keep in mind things typed in chat can get lost fast if the chat has a few players typing... This can be remedied somewhat by stretching chatbox in configure -> game -> layout menu. Also to add to the topic itself. I find teamplay ok for nonmoded public server with no forced TS coms rules. Also it is coop mission so it is hard to not cooperate with others to achieve common goal . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karate Pyjamas Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I shouldn't be saying this really, but some of the stuff that happens on EU3 and the regulars once you get to know them always result in a good laugh while still playing serious. Don't be intimidated! EU3 and ArmA with al it's glorious bugs etc. can result in some spectacular Michael Bay shizzle Colsta, Jim and Patrik 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
