Thank you Alan that was a perfect example of what I meant.

OR just drop CUP. Please don't add anything new mod wise. Far to many of us only get 20 frames as is..... and no one say get a better pc. There are alot of us that are getting not so good frames. Most of the people getting frame issues have great PCs. The FUms missions could also go. Not many people do them and that means there are seven missions on the map at most time that don't get completed. Everyone has an opinion and the removal of these two features is my suggestion to speed up the server. If we are talking quality over quantity then we should definitely keep the HLC and RHS mods they are much higher quality than the CUP mod. However some fat could be trimmed from the server for sure. That being said either we need to loose missions and a mod or the roaming AI system has to take the hit. The server is loosing players due to the FPS issues. Again just my opinion.

cool idea

Just wanted to throw out a HUGE thank you to all the admins!! I know I have been asking a lot of you guys lately as far as changes to the server are concerned. I apologize if that has made anyone feel forced to make them... I personally feel responsible because there seems to be only a few who are willing to provide feedback. Hopefully we can get a few more people involved. I intend on toning the suggestions and requests down. You guys have done a great job with all the new things. In summery THANK YOU ALL [video=youtube]http://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gD7pd03L43k

Whoever has the ability to claim the server on gametraker please do, so that we as players can check our score and our kills. Thank you all!! The link works to the webpage but the server still needs claimed.

I agree with Mr.Snackbar on most of his post. The only thing I am against is the trader zone thing. If players could shoot out they would camp the zone and thus make it pointless... As to what to do about it, I would say either turn off the god mode for players and ai or simply make the zone smaller so it is just the building that is in it. Alan has a great point about the new players. last weekend at the peek times there were 29 people on the server. alot of these has not been back because the loot rate is so low taht you have to stand around for a long time and wait for a spawn.(also none of the CUP, RHS, or the HLC weapons are in the loot list) The long loot wait makes it almost pointless to try and do loot runs. As of right now the only way to stay afloat on the server is to hunt vehicles. Forced vehicle hunting is caused by the long loot time and lack of items in the loot list, and by the fact that the missions are to easy. I will explain my point on the missions. They have at most eight enemy ai at them.(just the red, green and yellow missions) The free gas up north by the salt flats has a broken loot crate.(the crate spawns under one of the buildings. Which causes it to be destroyed every time the mission is cleared) In the loot crates from the red, green, and yellow missions there is only a few guns and a little food. your max payout for one mission is only around 3k. This number is including all the gear off the ai. Where as you can make 40k off one vehicle. If the missions were a little harder(more ai, around 12-15 for the red, 8-10 yellow and 6 for the green) and they payed a little better players would see them as a viable option to vehicle hunting. The underwater missions. As a whole i don't think anyone in the community has actually completed one of these missions. They are either to glitched(boats on the land or under the water, and the ai inside of the rocks) or the water is to thick and murky to see in even with diving goggles. In their current state the underwater missions are just using up server resources which could be used to run more of the other missions at one time if the underwater ones were not running. None if what I have said here is meant as a complaint. I am just trying to make suggestions in a friendly and helpful way. These are meant to improve there server and draw new players. It is all well and good to have access to cool tanks and such but if you have to roll around in a 175,000 pop tab tank all the time because you are constantly being destroyed then the server might be at a point where the newer players are getting pounded the whole time they are logged in because they are in SUVs and such. This is causing a lot of them to rage quit. Those of us that have the equipment to take out the bigger enemies(bobcats, BMP-3, panthers, and the marshals) can do well but these new people have no defense. You can say in response that they should get a rocket launcher. However, they would then have to see the enemy vehicle first and have time to respond. Most of the time that is not going to happen, not to mention most of the time new players can't afford a launcher. The extreme direction the server is headed reminds me of BIGSL and that is not good because his servers where and still are meat grinders and no one wants to play on them. I think the management team here at Old Guys needs to strive to achieve a balance between the difficultly and the cool toys. As a general rule with pve servers you get players in with a large variety of weapons and vehicles and you keep them coming back by having a challenge and a great community. Perhaps think about removing some of the heli crashes in favor of the mission system. If the loot and loot rate where adjusted and the missions tweaked and increased(more than 3 on the map), the underwater missions scraped in favor of the land based ones in higher quantity. There would be more opportunity for new players to grow and prosper. A product can not be improved without feedback. I hope that my feedback has been insightful and helps with some of your decisions for the future of Old Guys Gaming PVE. Please keep up the great work. You are all busy especially you Jason and I know a lot of these suggestions would be up to you to look into. That being said I personally thank each and every one of you guys on the management team of OGG. The server you run is a great place to join and be with friends and just have fun. What a great community that is being fostered here!! Way to go and keep it up fellas. Here are a few other things http://www.exilemod.com/topic/8853-leader-board-for-your-website/ This is a leader board for the webpage. http://www.exilemod.com/topic/6814-scratchies-v06-a-lottery-like-game-used-in-exile-mod-v094-xm8/ A fun little Scratch off game. http://www.exilemod.com/topic/7026-increase-loot-spawn-speed/ http://www.exilemod.com/topic/670-starting-items/ This should help to make it so players spawn with a pistol or whatever. You might have to remove the water bottle you start with because the orange suit doesn't have room for the mags, gun and the bottle. That might be why we got mags before but no gun.

Could not post on the main forum so here it is. (Needs a prefix. However there is no prefix selection box) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PsDxUYBxmiQl-HSTtxj3PHWLq9R0kH0QOoZnNNe4ZhQ/edit?pli=1#gid=0 This is the link to the changes to the vehicle capacity and price.

I would like to suggest that the HLC weapons pack be added when the server is updated on thursday. This is a very high quality pack on par with, if not better than the RHS weapons. The video is a review of the mod. HLC has been out for over a year and is compatible with exile and should work out of the box. the mod can be downloaded at http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=28329 This is where you can find the mod and all its info. It is my opinion that the server could benefit from this mod because there are no other servers that are pve in the Launcher that are running the mod. The mod wont be auto started by A3Launcher because it is not in their mod list. This is not a problem because you can put it in the server name and people could still connect to the server without the mod installed. HLC would just be a bonus for the people who come to the server and install the mod. As I stated the game will launch and the server will let you connect if it is set up to accept connections without requiring the mod. This is similar to how the HIGHTIMEZ server does their own custom mod. It is in their server but not required to connect. The only downside is people who don't have the mod cant see the weapons. Thus creating an incentive to go and download this awesome mod. Some of the weapons HLC adds are G3's, AK variants, FAL variants, AUG variants, MP5 variants, M14 variants, AR15 variants, and M60 variants. You can also see a few of these weapons in frankieonpcin1080p's videos- and I strongly recommend downloading and checking out this mod in the Arma 3 virtual arsenal. All the weapons added by the mod are super high quality and even have some extra functions that the base Arma weapons don't have. such as interchangeable iron sights. A few more videos- Here is the forum link for the HLC weapons pack- https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/163106-toadies-smallarms-and-animations-for-arma3/ You can find all the class names and such at that forum link. Please consider my suggestion for an awesome mod to add to the server. I hope I have provided adequate information to help with your decision. HLC Weapons is only 743mb. I urge all of you to try this mod out!!! HLC is great :-) Here is my steam screenshots so everyone can see the weapon pictures. http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198024294745/screenshots/ Sincerely, (CJ)45
