[poll] Community Event - Saturday September 29th

[=VG= SavageCDN (Inactive Duty)]

If you want to participate this Saturday please post here and vote for what you would like to do.

Also in your post please give us your opinion on team vs team or deathmatch-style missions during event warmup (all in good fun of course).

Not sure on a start time yet.. perhaps post your availability (in GMT).


Edit:
** As if my joke choice is winning!! Fuckers now I have to come up with something LOL !declare **

18-19 GMT is ok for me. If we actually start on that time and not just mess around shooting loud guns, waiting for people to install their mods and fixing the mission at the last moment.
Black Hawk is fine i guess. And this bunkers mission that we played couple times is nice, i'm cool with it.

[=VG= 1Sg.Morrison]

I agree with outlanders

[=VG= Gaz]

The PVP warmup is great, Maybe put it up for a while before hand then to the training mission (that may have guns by this point) then to the mision, I wouldent mind black hawk down but.. do we have the players for it?

[=VG= SavageCDN (Inactive Duty)]

^ I guess we'll see (I know where your vote went...lol)

[=VG= Wooz2770]

If we get enough people i would like to try out the black hawk down mission, but if the turn out isn?t so great, maybe go battle some space mutants;)
and maybe we should try to use only the most necessary mods, like ACE/ACRE, so that setting up everyone will be faster?

If everyone didnt add new addons every week, and for once stuck with the same addons for a month, you wouldn't have that problem.

In reality you should only add in something if everyone else is going to download it. Became a pain in the ass to update every day.

[=VG= Gaz]

That hasnt been an issue really, Everyone who plays with us has been more than willing to download the extra few here and there for a great time..

[=VG= Outlanders]

I don't know. We are pretty much using ACE/ACRE. Shactac stuff, blastcore, jsrs - they are clientside.
And i don't think that's the problem. We usually have a whole week to install stuff and troubleshooting. And if you can use Six to install ACE, that's not really hard to get other things, it's just couple mouse clicks. And we have a ton of threads here, that show how to install mods, how to use ACE/ACRE.
Problem is that sometimes people don't even bother to do that.

We actually don't do that. The server is like ACE/ACRE, 1 map and 2 mods for helicopters. Been using them for months.

[=VG= 1Sg.Morrison]

MAke one hour befor a check up time for add on?s while everybody who has everythink, shoot mutants

[=VG= SavageCDN (Inactive Duty)]

dman does have a good point though we need to consider picking a set of mods (for each campaign) and sticking to them

[=VG= LittleTortiaBoy]

and a greater heads up would be nice, this seems rather last minute, I'm not sure I'll be able to make it to any type of event this weekend

[=VG= SavageCDN (Inactive Duty)]

^ it is indeed last minute

FYI edit: Now that summer is over this will be more organized.. more people around to participate and I have more time to keep shit flowing. Next day or two I will be posting a thread to get some feedback as to what others want to see during these events... what mods everyone likes... respawn yes/no.. etc etc.

Anyone can join in and help... there are lots of things that need to come together to make these events happen.

[=VG= BLuDKLoT]

I still say you make an ARMA 3 Dev Rescue Mission

[=VG= Wooz2770]

^That

[=VG= Outlanders]

Savage, just tell me what to do.

[=VG= poffadder (Inactive Duty)]

Undead and space mutants FTW.

Compleatly agree, hell of an idea.

[=VG= Murderface0151]

i dont like that idea to be honest... its a bit disrespectful wouldnt you say?

[=VG= Wooz2770]

So what?s the call for saturday? maybe something related to last nights testing savage?;)

[=VG= SemlerPDX]

When cooking with space mutants or the undead, remember - 30 minutes per pound at 350 degrees.

And fresher is better. It's a good thing.


!lol

That Dynamic Zombie mission was pretty fun.. I figured out it was ACE causing the lack of weapon spawns, etc. seems it's not quite ACE compatible. So we can use that but without ACE mod.

Gonna test the BlackHawkDown missions tonight.

If those suck.. I have my own mission we could use based on this mod:

[=VG= Wooz2770]

not spawning with weapons was actually fun, having to find and secure that little base was also fun, and then having to defend it was awesome, so that doesn?t bother me.

And thanks for doing this, really appreciated:D

[=VG= SavageCDN (Inactive Duty)]

Yeah that was fun... it's a parameter in the briefing screen to start with weapons or not (or random).. it's just too bad it doesn't work with ACE. We might be able to make it ACE-compatible but not sure if that can happen by Saturday.

What do you think... I can test it with ACRE so at least we'll have radios (seemed to work OK yesterday just too many ACE radio spawns)?

The respawning was a bit annoying... that is also a parameter (respawn or no respawn)

Also we would need to pick a map to play on.

[=VG= Wooz2770]

is it possible to disable a few of those radio?s? so that only the common one?s spawn? and you guys should pick some map that fits the game mode, i won?t be home untill tomorrow, so ill help out any way i can then. Once we get a base set up, we can start to do the objectives:)
