  1. The problem with letting people hang out in private channels when on BLUFOR and OPFOR is the lack of communication between members of those factions. This was a huge problem on the old TLX server as the public faction channels would be empty while everyone was in their own private channels, often with friends from a different faction.

    There is no requirement for Independent and Civilian to be in their public channels since communication between team members on those factions isn't necessary. BLUFOR and OPFOR on the other hand are military forces, ones that are now becoming whitelisted and regulated.

    Staff members are exempt from this rule as they are often going channel to channel dealing with support issues.

    You probably are gonna get staff because you have all your austrailian buds. Plus they are in staff already so oof

    We have no staff members from Australia

    @London I will consider this application if I see you around more. It looks like you haven't been on since Friday.

  3. Following the update on faction whitelisting, we are in search of someone who feels that they are capable of holding the Major position on BLUFOR and leading the faction.

    The Major will be supervising the entire NATO occupational force in Takistan and as such, a level of commitment and responsibility will be required. They will have to oversee the creation of procedures and protocols, manage the membership and promotions within NATO, in addition to liaising with the staff team. Responsibilities will be delegated down the chain of command as required.

    Ideally, someone to hold this position would have similar experience from another Life or Milsim community.

    If you are interested in fitting this role, send me a private message here on the forums or send an email to [email protected]. Please put effort and detail in what you write and include information about who you are, why you would fit into the position, what your plans are for NATO, and any experience or qualifications you have.

    Thanks for reading, I hope to be receiving some qualified candidates in my inbox soon. Feel free to send recommendations my way if you know someone that is interested in the position.

  4. Let's clear something up here since people want to jump to conclusions.

    WuKuN is a former staff member of TLR. He jumped on our Teamspeak just to throw insults at me and the other head staff in my channel. He admitted to DDoSing our server and something was said about "getting people not to play here". 

    I banned him. Why did I ban him? He wasn't here to legitimately play. He was here to cause drama. He then returned with a new identity and IP address since he was using a VPN. He tells me that he's just here to "talk to some old friends" and that if I ban him he will just keep coming back.

    I'm feeling a little lenient, so I let him go up into the channel that some of his friends are in. I'm told not long after by someone else that he's talking about DDoSing. Some people are telling me he should be banned, and I'm on the verge of doing it. 

    WuKuN then has the audacity to send me money over PayPal with a note about how this is his "apology". I refunded his money and banned him immediately, because the way I see it, he's just trying to pay for a way out of a ban.

    To the friends of WuKuN, I am so sorry that he thinks he can just come onto our Teamspeak and act like a complete cunt and expect that he won't be banned.

    So will a cop be able to rank up by completing objectives in-game, or will it be given out by the leaders of the two factions who they feel deserve it?

     

    Also.. YESSSSSSSSSS!!

    There will be formal processes for promotions, similar to what you might find in a milsim unit but not as strict.

  6. Hi everyone,

    Today at our staff meeting we went over the results of the community survey and have made decisions on faction whitelisting per the majority votes.

    BLUFOR and OPFOR will have a full ranking structure and chain of command, however players who are not whitelisted will be able to play in public slots that have limited equipment available to them. Faction qualifications will exist independent of ranks and will be instated for heavily armoured ground vehicles and attack-capable air vehicles.

    PMCs will be whitelisted to qualified players, however we will not restrict them to registered Private Military Companies as it did not receive as much support in the survey. Having Private Military Companies in addition to independent contractors is something we will be looking into for the future, however.

    BLUFOR

    50% voted for "BLUFOR needs to have a full ranking system and chain of command"
    36% voted for "BLUFOR needs to be whitelisted to qualified players"
    14% voted for "BLUFOR should not be whitelisted"
     
    BLUFOR controls North Takistan and will mainly consist of NATO, so players will be able to access equipment and uniforms from various NATO countries. The ranks here are based off the US Army, however they are not 100% accurate as we have pulled a few out for simplicity. Because NATO's force in Takistan isn't that of an entire military, the cut-off rank at the top will be Major.
     
    Commissioned Officers
    Major
    Captain
    First Lieutenant
    Second Lieutenant
    Officer Candidate
     
    Non-Commissioned Officers
    Sergeant Major
    Master Sergeant
    Staff Sergeant
    Sergeant
    Corporal
     
    Enlisted Members
    Specialist
    Private First Class
    Private
     
    There will be a small subfaction of United Nations that will have their own goals, capabilities, and equipment however we have not decided how they will work just yet.
     
    OPFOR
     
    40% voted for "OPFOR needs to have a full ranking system and chain of command"
    36% voted for "OPFOR needs to be whitelisted to qualified players"
    24% voted for "OPFOR should not be whitelisted"
     
    OPFOR controls South Takistan and they mainly represent the Takistan Liberation Army. They are a puppet to Russia and therefore receive assistance and equipment from them. We have based their ranks off of the Russian Army. The Russian titles will be used in text, however for pronunciation purposes we have included their English equivalents for people to use when addressing them. The initial consensus among staff was that we weren't going to do a comprehensive command structure for OPFOR, but after seeing the work Kane has accomplished himself with the ranking and training he's done while unofficially leading the faction, we decided to go for it.
     
    Officers
    Polkóvnik (Colonel)
    Mayór (Major)
    Kapitán (Captain)
    Stárshiy Leytenánt (Senior Lieutenant)
    Leytenánt (Lieutenant)
    Mládshiy Leytenánt (Junior Lieutenant)
     
    Enlisted Members
    Starshiná (Sergeant Major)
    Stárshiy serzhánt (Senior Sergeant)
    Serzhánt (Sergeant)
    Mládshiy Serzhánt (Junior Sergeant)
    Yefréytor (Private First Class)
    Ryadovóy (Private)
     
    Summary
     
    We have not decided yet how we will be appointing initial leadership for both BLUFOR and OPFOR. They will likely go to who we feel is qualified and capable of liaising with the staff team, however it's also possible that some sort of voting campaign will be held.
     
    We're glad to be taking this step forward to increase roleplaying and immersion for the militarized factions. Feel free to reply with any feedback (positive or negative) you may have.

  7. You were kicked by BattlEye for GameHack #38 because you were using a cheat application in the background and a ban was automatically added. We'll consider your appeal, but I wouldn't get your hopes up.

    There could be a possibility of them adding some kind of building restoration script, similar to that of tree fixing, but for buildings. I think either the Moderators or Administrators have access to a world building repair that mainly fixes the FPS.

    The tree fixer can actually be used to repair buildings, despite its name.

    I'm planning on making the bank building indestructible however.

  9. Sure, here's my reply:

    I cannot remember the specific circumstances of your ban, but I do remember it had something to do with you calling people names, using offensive Teamspeak avatars, and blaring music. This ban was permanent because you had already received numerous bans in the past - half a dozen I'm pretty sure.

    I decided to look at our chat logs and see some of the things you said in game in the days prior to your ban...

    Not for targeting a direct area, and if it's the one I'm thinking of wasn't that locked to Owners by Lex and didn't it cause huge lag?

    You're able to target an area with it, it was just used a couple days ago. And yes, it's locked to admin only.

  14. You were kicked 4 times for not being on Teamspeak while playing on factions that require such (BLUFOR/OPFOR/Independent) therefore you were given a 1 day ban.

    Your ban will be removed once you can demonstrate that you will be on Teamspeak while playing on those factions, or you can wait for the 1 day ban to expire.

    Also, we do in fact have Discord, but it is not used for faction voice communications. You can join it by clicking here.
