    I'm official resining from TLX since there's been fuck all going on with the server, it's dying also with the constant nothingness the community gets, the server is really unbalanced making it no longer fun to play any side other than blufor or opfor, INDEPS get spawn raped every fucking time being unable to leave their area cause OPFOR decide to camp out all the exits with fucking Hinds and other bullshit, YOU NEED supporter to combat them with IGLA rocket launchers it's pointless to play on the server now, we've been promised updates for a while now and we've had NOTHING for the past MONTH, a lot of the players have left because there's fuck all to do. ZERO RP actually happens when Blu4 just camp in fucking strykers and do fuck all.

     

    This server is literally a shit show now and it's pointless staying here, i'd rather play fucking dating simulators instead of this server.

    Hmm...

    Has anyone actually talked to magicman about this yet? What has he said?

    Just because someone has a tendency to leave their computer in game and forget about it doesn't imply that they are paycheck farming. I want to hear what he has to say before taking further measures against him.

    Alright so here comes the censorship when people don't want to hear the truth.

    Honestly, Giovani I'm telling you the reality you don't wanna hear, I don't think EVEN if every single one of those accusations is real i should be permabanned. and get straight to my point and i was honestly thinking of paying for Vip subscription, i dont know why this is such a big deal. and yea i swore in the server, did that hurt your feelings? 

    Your post was hidden because you shared information on duping in game even though one of the reasons you were banned was because you precisely threatened to do exactly that.

    Also, there is no such thing as "paying for VIP subscription". 

    You're not really helping yourself here. You're just decreasing the likelihood that you'll be unbanned.

    Sooooo lets reframe the lies the staff told you.

    You said it yourself that you were intoxicated the night of your ban, so have you considered the fact that you probably don't accurately remember what exactly occurred?

    21 minutes ago, Meandia said:

    he took it to support and i confirmed it was as a joke since he killed me multiple times and i did not mean to do any harm, then returned it to him since it was a JOKE.

    You can say it was a joke all you want, but if he took it to support then he didn't see it that way.

    I think the spam chat was actually something the admins are too strick for me fuck em style (i was intoxicated , please mind that)

    I looked at the chat myself. You were spamming messages asking to be banned.

    21 minutes ago, Meandia said:

    The arma  3 life community was actually from the day before when i had a chat with an admin that was about how you copied their forum theme.

    I looked at the Discord chat and didn't see anything that corroborates this.

    21 minutes ago, Meandia said:

    I said i could help em fix the duping glitch since it was really easy to replicate my theory.

    Threatening to release information is wildly different from "helping".

    21 minutes ago, Meandia said:

    i won't put any effort into ban appeals for bans i don't deserve

    In that case, we won't put any effort into removing your ban.

    14 minutes ago, Meandia said:

    Also what is it with that arma 3 community , did nobody talk to the admin i was conversing with? it was on how you copied that theme for this exact forum

    I don't see how we "copied" anything from the Arma 3 community in question. The only similarities are that both forums are using themes made by IPSFocus, although they're still 2 completely different themes.

    The other community is https://arma-life.org/forums/ in case anyone wants to look for themselves.

    Here is what happened as described by the case reports filed by other staff members.

    You started off by stealing a vehicle from civ spawn, a safe zone. When brought into a support room on Teamspeak, you decided to leave on your own accord and then go into global chat and say "fuck the admins". A strike was issued.

    After this, you repeatedly spammed global chat asking what you could get banned for, and telling the staff to ban you. A ban was then issued against you for 14 days citing the previous strikes and your continuous trolling.

    Following this, you decided to start advertising an Arma 3 life community on Discord by posting links to their website. This led to you getting banned on Discord and your 14 day ban getting extended to permanent.

    You then came back on Teamspeak where you threatened to "release duping information" to other players if you weren't unbanned. This got you banned permanently off Teamspeak.

    You are 100% responsible for your own behaviour whether you were intoxicated or not. I'll leave the final decision on this ban appeal to Unknown since he dealt with you directly.

    However, as it stands right now, I am not convinced that your behaviour will change in the future and the lack of effort put into your ban appeal illustrates that.

    2. a law book is probably never going to be implemented as this server should not be taken as a FULL RP server

    I like the idea of separating laws from rules and I've looked into setting this up in the past similar to how British Borders did it. However, it is very time consuming to write and implement.

    People honestly don't value their lives that much as it is. I feel like death should carry a larger punishment than jail time.

    Here's what will be happening in regards to the embassies.

    • If factions wish to set up an embassy in one another's territory with the permission of the other faction, that is fine.
    • However, if you don't have permission, you are simply setting yourself up to be engaged for trespassing by the opposing faction.
    • There will be no official implementation of embassies in game, nor will there be permanent embassies. However, if you wish to RP and set up an embassy in agreement with the other faction, you may do so.

    ACP > System > Tools & Settings > Recount & Rebuild

    That hasn't existed for several versions.

    Plus, it doesn't solve the issue of actually deleting the statistics of that one day, which is what I want to do so our online user count isn't messed up forever.

  14. Posted

    We had a DDoS attack at one point so it showed hundreds of guests online at once. However, for some reason, it decided to stop at the number 666 despite there being more than that. If I knew how to reset the stats for that day so we could have an accurate number to show for our most users online, I would do it.

    I'm sorry but the server is to broken to function without ai gunners... i have tried plenty of times to use a attack helicopter without a ai gunner. it doesn't work.

    That's what a human gunner is for. As I've stated multiple times already, AI provide an advantage in that they can instantly spot, target, and kill enemies. Players vs players provides a more fair combat environment.

    9 hours ago, Wolfslayer said:

    The player base on this server so to low at points to get a decent player gunner.

    If there's not enough people on to get a gunner in your helicopter, then you don't need that helicopter and you'd be better off on the ground.

    It's ridiculous when the entirety of OPFOR takes out helicopters with AI to go hunt down terrorists while having no boots on the ground to patrol territory or man border checkpoints.

    9 hours ago, Wolfslayer said:

    The thing with ai gunners is that opfor needs them during a war due to our only good jet requiring a ai gunner. (Su 27/34)

    It requires a gunner, not specifically an AI gunner. A human gunner would do fine.

    9 hours ago, Wolfslayer said:

    Every fighting faction can buy ai so they are not just overpowerd to one faction.

    The suggestion is also to remove AI from every faction, not from one faction specifically. If you really believe that AI don't provide any advantages over others, then you would be fine with them being removed.

    9 hours ago, Wolfslayer said:

    I have had a indie buy a igla pod and put a ai gunner in it to shoot me down. Do you hear me bitching about it? NO!

    That's another reason why we shouldn't have AI available, regardless of whether you "bitch about it" or not.

    9 hours ago, Wolfslayer said:

    Can people just spend about 10 to 15 minutes in the arma 2 singleplayer boot camp

    Completely irrelevant, this has nothing to do with AI providing significant advantages over other human players.

    Are you fucking serious? Have you not been listening to what we have been saying, they are frequently used, only reason most other factions don’t use them is because they don’t know how to.

    Maybe you haven't noticed that there is also a group of people that disagree with you?

    4 minutes ago, Drew said:

    IMO Unknow, you need to be on more often, I have hardly seen you on within the 3/4 months I have been here, I think you need to use them and get some first hand experience on how critical they are to some of the factions. Ie indie and Opfor

    Unknown has been playing on the server since 2014/2015. I think he has a lot of first hand experience.

    757 minutes is only 12 hours. The requirement for applying is 40. You state that you have 2400 minutes in game (which is exactly 40 hours)... it's a pretty obvious lie.

    I'm going to put this out here again, why not just try to fix the issue? 

    Make it so you require a license? So you have to know and prove you know how to use AI? Or make it supporters only? There are two easy fixes to stop noobs with AI.

     

    Its easy to control AI Switch them to a rocket. So they have to be told told to fire, its not that hard to prevent your AI from shooting.

    Requiring licenses for AI isn't going to fix anything. It's nothing to do with "noobs with AI", it's the plain fact that AI gives an unfair advantage over other players who are using tactics that are designed work against humans, not insta-spot, insta-kill AI.

    Making this restricted to supporters only would only make it more unfair for others.

    You seem to believe that the only problem with AI is that they don't hold fire and lead to chaotic incidents, so obviously you didn't read my previous reply to you.

  20. Posted · Edited by Giovanni

    I agree with the removal of AI. Aside from the fact they often don't listen to commands to hold fire and cause mayhem at borders, they are cheaty in the fact that they can magically identify and open fire on enemy targets in situations where a human player would not see them.

    Example 1: An insurgent is driving around in a civilian vehicle. A human player would see this vehicle and think it's a civilian, and probably not think anymore about it. An AI on the other hand will recognize it as an enemy and immediately open fire.

    Example 2: An insurgent is hiding in a bush behind a rock on a mountain near Checkpoint Alpha. Opfor is struggling to find this insurgent as they endlessly pick off soldiers at the border. Opfor decides to bring an Mi-24 with an AI gunner. The AI immediately spots the concealed insurgent and kills it.

    Example 3: Someone places AI into an armed vehicle in a location where they are able to annihilate any enemy that even comes near. This is often used on roads leading out of the Independent base to instantly murder any unsuspecting insurgents leaving before they are even able to identify the AI vehicle.

    With these type of situations in mind, I feel that AI provides a huge reconnaissance advantage to the players using them, as they will insta-identify enemies and engage them. Therefore I agree with the proposal that they get removed.

    So, what you are saying is due to a few people who cannot control AI everyone has to loose the privilege, I use them to spot people as the Tab key is annoying

    This is exactly the type of behaviour we're trying to prevent though. The AI are just used as spotters because people are too lazy to go look for enemies themselves. It's irrelevant whether people can control their AI or not.

    So if a criminal civilian is running around, unarmed, are we just supposed to either shoot them or let them go? Kind of hard to knock someone out if they are running around.

    Then it's on you for not bringing a taser. The rules of engagement don't change just because you forgot one. That said, I want to leave it to the discretion of players if they wish to equip a taser or not. If they go into the field without one, it may end up putting them at a disadvantage but in the end, that's their fault.

    Require tazers, real cops have to use less lethal and you should too, it's called appropriate use of force.

    Just because someone isn't carrying a taser doesn't mean the use of force rules change and they're all of a sudden allowed to kill somebody.

    As Unknown has stated, BLUFOR is a military occupational/peacekeeping force. They are not your local police department.

    TL;DR: Not bringing a taser puts you at a disadvantage. It does not change the rules regarding use of force. If people want to make the choice not to equip a taser, it's on them.

    I don't think Blufor should be required to carry a taser, because not having one is simply putting them at a disadvantage. Just because they don't have a taser on them doesn't give them the right to kill people in situations where they normally couldn't, they'll just be left without a proper tool at their disposal to stop someone who is fleeing.

    Plus, requiring a taser would make other pistols redundant, since you wouldn't be able to use them.
