TEDF

Hi all!

I have reached a deadend with few things concidering the next PR event and would like to ask your help, dear PR-holics! In order to finish a project I'm currently working on, I require Muttrah City gameplay footages (would do it myself, but after 3h of recording and looking through it I finally decided that I'm the worst recorder in recoring history). If you happen to have any videos of a round on Muttrah layin on your hardrive and you would like to condribute, please send them away to my PM box. Doesn't matter if they are 5sec long, or 24h, funny or serious. As long as they are from muttrah, it's good.

The next event won't be far out now. Just need to finish up few minor things and then the next phase, setting up the server files, will begin.

Thank you in advance and stay tuned for more info!

P.S. As a reward, there are hidden clues about the next event in this post ;)

I do like the SURVIVAL one. hmm...

Have had tests with bots + human Commander on Ramiel with good results. Could do one where humans are allowed only to use pilot kits and would have to survive certain amount of time in the city before rescue. Also with no respawn on SQL + 5-10minute penalty before being able to return to the squad maybe...

Maybe even could merge that BH down + Survival. The big problem would be to get the bots to cooperate tho. They can be really good and annoying when they follow orders, but they do have the nasty habit of going berserk from time to time !crazy

Anyways, love the ideas. Keep them coming and we shall see what future holds :)

EDIT : I'm sure Sparky would love one of those PVP insurgent side events !crazy

Event factory is already producing one. Hang tight. Won't be long now !winker

Hate to be the party breaker, but current VG COOP record belongs to Mr Hombre = 36000+ points on Lashkar Valley which includes 400+ kills, 0 deaths, 156 RTBs & 3415 RPG rockets. !crazy (normal round with 20 players on the server)


Happy hunting! !eatmyuzi !hunter

Also, I managed to get myself some extra free time, which means MOAR PR releated events!

I'm sure Sparky would love to play as Opfor on the insurgency thingy, against human players !crazy

From what I've heard, the change was intentional to make it more difficult to win the rounds. Not 100% sure as it didn't come from Melon himself

Loved the Ramiel one where you guys stepped on every single trap placed inside the buildings in that compound !crazy
Wish my toaster could let me to record stuff. The sound of an explosion every 5 seconds was quite amusing.

Also, shoutout to the squad who was 5m away from the VIP on Karbala and walked off !haha

And thats event over. Thank you all who joined! I hope you had a great time! I sure did.
Apart from shooting the VIP on 2 missions, it went pretty well in my opinion.

A Special Thank You to Melonmuncher for setting up the maps and bots and being awesome!
Thank you Mectus11 for setting up the event page.
Thank you Sparky for being so good with IEDs and AP mines

It's cool, Savage. Hope to see you on next one :)

Will open up a queue. Currently have a person who already asked yesterday. If I can't get in touch with him, then Savage's spot goes to TheFrenchYuksek

Jup. It's already set up (Check the original post)

@Sydney - Can do.

You'll be with the kit you signed up as for the event. No switching.

@TheFrenchYuksek - I would love to open more squads, but there are too many players already and the rounds would end way too fast if there would be more.

Sorry, but all of the flots have been filled.

No. If the chopper goes down, it's game over.

Just 1 day to go, gents! Latest test results have been promising and the event should run as planned. (No crashes plzzz)
A huge, HUGE THANK YOU to !cheers Melonmuncher !rockon , who has spent his time to keep the COOP running and changing out the maps & Beefing up the bots for the event.

A little reminder for signups :

1. Please join TS about 15mins before event begins to get the PW for the server
2. Please check out which squad you'll be in. Specially those who joined in later.
3. Commander Keed, either join TS a bit earlier or try to catch me before event so I could give you the details of what needs to be done before mission begins.
4. Be sure to check out the rules and gamemode description
5. Something I propably forgot...

Hope to see you all tomorrow and I really hope that the server is on our side during the event and runs without problems.
!cheers

It starts at 20:00 PRT (Countdown at http://mectus11.kissr.com/event.html , upper right corner)

And there we go. Total of 30 players signed up. That also means that the signup will be closed for the time being! Thank you all who signed up. Those who missed it, don't worry. More events will be coming in the near future!
@Struecker, chickenjason, Warrant and Deadpool - I will add an additional inf squad for you. You'll have to manage yourselves in there.
1) SQL
2) Medic
3) LAT
4) Rifleman
Please do so by the end of Friday. If you haven't decided by then, then I'll put you on random slots.
!cheers

@chikenjanson Not going to add more ppl to trans squad. Inf is going to need all the available space in the choppers + on marlin there should be only 1 chopper which means both of the pilots will be occupying that one already.

Can add you to the logistics squad, if you're interested.
Will open up an additional squad if we get around 4-5 + more guys who wish to join.

All current slots have been filled! Thank you all who have signed up. !cheers
I'll see ya all on Aug 1th. Please join TS at least 15mins before event starts to get the password for the server. Also make sure to read the rules and memorise the gamemode info so the event could be run smoothly.

Missed the signup? No worries! More additional slots will be added if more people wish to join!

Which role?

Glad you can make it, keed. !cheers
Please join TS a bit sooner before event starts so I can give you the details on what needs to be done before mission begins.

A little update on the event as well :
There will be addition role on the bot team - Captor.
The captor stays with the VIP and will execute him if Blufor fails one of certain objectives. The captor will be person who can transport VIP around the map by using a unarmed transport vehicle (Civi car, ammo techy etc.) In order to stop the vehicle, Blufor has to either block its way (Vehicle or a squad in a way it's heading, sandbags, wire etc.) or to shoot it until it starts smoking (more risky way as you can kill the VIP in the process.)
Captor can also disquise himself as a VIP in order to confuse Blufor.
During the mission there may be addition objective that requiers blufor to capture/kill the captor in order to win the mission.
Additional rules for Captor and VIP :
1. VIP can only move around with the Captor nearby
2. Captor can't use heavy vehicles or weapons.
3. Captor is allowed to kill the VIP only when blufor has failed certain objective.
4. Captor can't ram blufor players and vehicles.
5. Captor MUST stop the vehicle when it starts smoking or the road ahead is blocked by blufor. Then it's up to him if he want's to surrender or give blufor one final fight (which will most likely end with his death). Blufor is not allowed to shoot him if he surrenders.
6. Captor may not pick up his weapon once he has surrended.
7. Captor may use VIP as human shield.

I will add additional info and tweaks when I have done full overview and tested out the maps/bots.

Rifleman/driver and random kits are different roles. My bad, listed them a bit oddly there !dash .
which one would you like? Driver or random one.

Much appreciated! !cheers
It is always possible to either add new squads or put more people into non-full ones in case more people decide to join.
I hope it turns out as intended (no promises !crazy ). Hopefully the PR gods are with us and keep the server running without problems.

All of the roles mentioned are taken atm.
Available roles are :
1) Rifleman/driver - mech inf
2) random kit - mech inf.
3) SQL - for QSS
4) Commander
