KalXen~SPARTA~ Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 FYI - We have purchased a 30 slot Arma 3 server in preparation for launch. The server will be based in Dallas, TX hosted by gameservers.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KalXen~SPARTA~ Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Hey guys, as engineer I grabbed one of those M119's from the last AO and have it set up on a hill over here for direct fire.. do ya'll mind moving out of the AO so that I could take a few shots? Ooops, sorry.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KalXen~SPARTA~ Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) BTW - I loaded up this morning expecting to be on the final files, but I was still on the dev package. Bohemia suggests that everyone move back to stable for the time being as they work to release/resynchronize. (http://dev.arma3.com/sitrep-00025) Once I opted out of dev, it forced a new 1 gig download of files for me. When I loaded it up, I was on v .76 Beta. From reading the separate announcements, I expect sometime later today the files to update to 1.0.

EMT~SPARTA~ Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Ok, that is good to know. I can start the DL when I get home from work. Thanks Kalxen. Also, I talked with the [sNS] Real War mission creator and was told that he would have an Altis version done very soon. I will keep y'all updated.

Watchman~SPARTA~ Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 BTW - I loaded up this morning expecting to be on the final files, but I was still on the dev package. Once I opted out of dev, it forced a new 1 gig download of files for me. Strange, my DL was 339mb only, that was from the dev build .77, from memory. Would be interesting to know what other folks updates were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KalXen~SPARTA~ Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Yeah, I was on .77, now to .76. Going to verify file integrity. Many on Bohemia forums are stating the same, with downloads ranging from 300mb to 1 gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cylawyer~SPARTA~ Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Downloaded 339.3 MB and is version 1.0 here. All ready to go. Took about 1.5 minutes to d/l. I had the Dev base build we were using last night and had not backed it off first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donziboy2 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I hesitated to play when I came home when I only saw 2 people in the Arma 3 channel so I went and did some bug hunting for Kerbal Space Program on a mod im playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KalXen~SPARTA~ Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 Have patience. We had some initial server file issues when they patched to 1.0, but once we got it running people just collected. By 9:30pm we were hoppin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECHO Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 There's plenty of time left to play Donzi, so I wouldn't worry about that. I believe that there needs to be some more obviously defined rules for tac-coms, and clear indicators when it is in use (such as editing the teamspeak channel name to specify as such). I have of course interrupted people when they have attempted to call out information, not going to say that I'm perfect in this regard. Sometimes everyone seems to not want to coordinate much, which is fine sometimes, but then I hear complaints about people flooding voice with unimportant comments, even when no tactics or important communications follow this. Or on the flip side, people wanting to coordinate and nobody seeming to even want to give them the time of day. I think much of this might be linked to the server opening to the public more, but I suppose we'll see. In short, if there was a more clear protocol on tac-com and when it was in use and not, I think that there would be less of a problem with off-topic conversation. It would make it easier to recognize that it is not an appropriate time to waste time, or is. Also, the two sniper spots are interesting I think. I believe that it might be sensible to utilize them (and their spotters) better however, as a sniper can be far more effective for his team if he relays intel and helps paint targets rather than simply shooting (as I have been attempting to do). This emphasis on teamwork I think would make it a good idea for any snipers to be on teamspeak. I suppose in-game coms works well enough however, mostly I just wish there was a way to limit the roles that good players might play from falling into bad hands (pilots and artillery are the most critical of course).

KalXen~SPARTA~ Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 We have yet to play tactically. We will re-post the rules and remind everyone. You won't be confused when we are or aren't doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchman~SPARTA~ Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Good tactical play tonight, really enjoyed myself, feels just like the old Arma 2 days are here again. Strange bug tonight with my kit but that didn't stop the fun. Certainly felt exposed going in on the tower with just a pistol but complete confidence in NCO & Halli for cover. More of the same please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halli~SPARTA~ Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Thanks for allowing me to rendezvous with ya'll. Cept when it was over the Damn Chopper pilot picked up the few and not the many. Gonna have to make Strict rules for Pilots about when to enter a zone and when to leave a zone and the fact that pilots don't control the flight plan they follow them!
