OPERATION RESURRECTION (SQUAD)

Saturday, April 18, 2020

No Password Required - Anyone can join

Max 80 Players On Event!

 

 

 

EVENT BRIEF:

Due to the last squad event being an amazing success. We will now take the squad server much further than before. 

We will now make squad events every weekend. So that everyone has knowledge of when our community is gathered and playing together.

This also gives an opportunity to seed our server out on the wide range of other squad servers. Letting other players join the game and build a new player base.

This means that we have 1 week to rectify all the rules that we need that are important to gameplay. So whoever is writing the new "Squad Holy Bible". Please get the most essential rules laid out first. 

Please meet in TS prior to start of event. To login to the =VG= server launch Squad and select CUSTOM BROWSER, SET Filters > Show Empty Servers, Show Full Servers.

OBJECTIVE:

For the upcoming weekend we will first play a skirmish map to get everyone warmed up and let other players sort themselves out.

The next map will be a RANDOM ASSAULT AND SECURE gamemode - basically AAS on PR but the flags are randomized, and you can only see the flags that you can capture, so you have less time to plan your next move

If anyone has good map suggestions please jot it down and put it on this thread.

ASSETS AVAILABLE: Depending on Map set - Will update in future

ADMINS:

We are in need of more admins to regulate the server, if you are an admin on any other game then you are trusted enough to automatically be an admin on squad.

If you have the guts to bear the responsibility then put down your SteamID64 so I can add you to the list. https://steamid.io/lookup/

See you all on the squad battlefield

Agreed, I also think we should start a new thread to discuss what goes into those rules, my only suggestion is that we shouldn't stray too far from the Squad Developer's Guidelines if we are hoping to become a licensed server some ways down the track.

Somehow we'll need to incorporate official Squad guidelines and principles into our "Official =VG= Squad Server Rules".

For keeping this on going assign me as a medic in bluefor pls.

[Hoops0320]

Ill go blufor alpha SL pls.

Also just so you know, any SL can be commander and will keep their squad unlike how the PR commander is a stand alone role

[Hoops0320]

For rules, we can just copy PR rules as they dont all apply but we can steal elements from them.

My ideas for rules:

1. Teamwork is the #1 rule, we cant play squad without it.

2. communication, as someone said before it would be bad to have every player require a mic but players that dont would be limited to less essential kits like rifleman nd LAT for example and more specialist kits like Medic, Marksman and HAT could be left for players with a mic. ALL SQUAD LEADERS HAVE TO HAVE A MIC.

3. Squad names allow you to claim vehicles e.g. IFV gets Bradley, BMP and BTR 80A and Tank gets tanks. No squads named just armour are allowed vehicle type needs to be specified in squad name.

4. Mech Inf squads can only claim APCs like normal BTR and stryker and heavier assests must be left to specialised squads

5. TKing is not permitted under any circumstances 

6. If you are new dont take SL or heavy vehicle roles like tanks and helis without any experience. This could lead to asset waste and a loss for your team in bad circumstances.

7. DONT create a squad unless you intend to lead ( big one )  If theres no open squads and you dont desire to lead wait for a place to become available and request unfull squads to open up, you might get lucky.

8. No Baserape. Avoid builiding HABs close to enemy main and no mining roads close to the main

9. vehicles that require crewman kits are not to be one maned. BRDMs can be one maned

10. lone wolfing is available only if permitted by the squad leader and you mist ask to do so or risk being kicked from the squad.

11. all squad members should try their best to follow their squad leaders orders. 

There could be more, these are just off the top of my head.

I do think flag skiping should be available just because it is part of the tactics in squad, building a HAB behind enemy lines to open up a new attacking front on a contested objective.

I am currently writing up the  'Squad holy bible' so if you have any suggestion for rules please let me know.

[=VG= The_Polish_Guy]

Sign me up as bluefor AR please.

[Vanillapop]

Sign me up for red for squad lead, also steam I'd is vanillapop. I'm on the VG steam group

@=VG= Vanillapop you got mail, I need to confirm your SteamID is correct. Kav.

[=VG= SemlerPDX]

I want to be a cameraman, so put me in any fireteam slot as a grenadier or such, maybe LAT - but let those who wanna pick go first, slot me in where needed after that.

Once we get large games going you could go into the admin camera mode and record the game that way, get some good cinematic shots from both sides. That would be some good content!

[=VG= Kavelenko]

i'm happy to step down from the SL position on the day to let others have a go at leading, building assets, HABs etc. The sign up list is just a good way to build interest in the event.

[=VG= Acro1]

I'd love to man the camera and get some cinematics (and this time not miss the event because I have the big dumb and mess up timezones...)

Yeah pretty easy to use the camera, hit SHIFT + P  when you're in the game and away ya go.

[=VG= Sausag3]

@=VG= Acro1, you will have to send me your SteamID64, just so I can give you the privileges to use the camera. and yes it is SHIFT + P when you have the rights to do it. Test it out in the server to get yourself familiar with the controls

don't feel too bad - I blame myself for not getting the Event on the home page (which is where it will display in YOUR local time to avoid confusion) - I was balls deep in the Ryzen Beast build, head in the clouds  

[=VG= 0100011000101]

i signed in as 2nd medic but someone deleted me...

i can take anything on bluefor.

[=VG= Sausag3]

I think I figured it out, it was downloading mods on the background so it had to wait for that.

[=VG= Ryan.TT]

Like the previous one, it was epic. Thanks for people who showed up.
Waiting for next week. See you guys on the field.

[=VG= 0100011000101]

it was really nice. thanks.

and it's also nice to see that it gets fuller.

[=VG= Sausag3]

Thanks guys for turning up, was a blast.

Uploading footage now. hopefully would be with you tommorow.

If anyone found a way to colab footage together into one awesome montage give me a shout. I can upload it wherever.

[=VG= SemlerPDX]

Awesome event!  Created the weekly event in the calendar, too.  It has RSVP, and you can change your RSVP anytime, so you can unselect for a future saturday, or just keep it on, or use the Maybe or Decline to let folks know your plans.

This is gonna be fun to have regular events!  Would like to do it with PR, too, and even Falcon BMS (I'm thinking Friday Night Flights!)... will be just a little bit before we get the new and very awesome VG Arma 3 framework live, mods, headless client, DAC, RHS, TFAR, ETC... all the acronyms - solid server FPS regardless of all the bot's running around and doin all that "thinking".  Glad we have the new shiny Squad to hold us over.  This is gonna be a fun year at VG!

 Cheers Sausage and everyone who joined us!

(got another raw unedited video from my perspective going up, should be live after *7:00PM (US Pacific) - feel free to download and cut out bits if anyone wants to do some editing, etc. FTR, when I used the camera mode and all of a sudden saw red on the screen, I didn't use it as RECON not that I know the maps anyway, but I purposely covered the screen with one hand while I finished the panning shot or whatever, I ain't like that y'all know!)
