i dunno. every time it gets brought up, we all agree on what a good idea it is and then it goes away for a month or so until we bring it up again. i know trouble is busy, so it'll have to fall on another dev if it's something we want like now.

matte black

a resounding yes from me

having a couple players science this now. sling-loading still seems to be working on single vehicles. players are still unable to tow vehicles. crates are unable to be moved/put into vehicle cargo. inventory and option to install/mount still working.

i know @Troublesim is extremely busy with what he has going on pertaining to the LiF server, so maybe another of our devs can update the community on the status/progress we're making when it comes to adding in the VG. this isn't a post trying to rush anyone to do anything, more so of a 'hey guys, where are we on this?'

a resounding YES from me. =)

in speaking with a lot of you, i've heard some great ideas for server-wide events. 'let's do something fun....' ok, twist my arm. =) here's a few things i'm working on.. some have been done before, a few are unique. let me know what you guys think, and PLEASE feel free to post your own suggestions. the latter statement applies to EVERYTHING, not just events.... west coast to east coast death race - players will drive from a point on the west coast to a point on the east coast using whatever route they please. vehicles will be provided, and you'll start out with a certain amount of repair items/meds/food. once you're out of these items, good luck... if you die, it's game over. the more people involved, the greater the rewards. rubbin' is racin' boys and girls, but no firearms. the best shot on OGG - pretty straight forward here.. we give you your weapon of choice and you show us what a good shot you are. target distances can vary, and a winner will be established by a traditional points system. once again.. the more people involved, the greater the reward. the ultimate dogfight - again pretty straight forward.. we put you in some sort of aircraft, and you show us what a good pilot you are.. maybe even a team sort of deal for helicopter ops. i was thinking of a bracket sort of system for this, seeing as how teams may be involved. squad vs squad combat - we cordon off an area or build something somewhere for squad/player vs player combat. this won't be a free-for-all where everyone has a PvP fest... think of it as a paintball/airsoft match with either team, 2v2, or 1v1 combat. this will HAVE to be a bracket system depending on how many players want to participate. players vs admins - we actually 'let' the players try to take us out... no god mode or any of the other fun stuff involved. this can go in a lot of directions depending on player base interest. personally i'm completely for building a gigantic admin event base and letting you guys come at us with everything you've got, but we could go about an event like this in a way like the before mentioned event ideas. remember that regardless of the event nuances, we'll be fighting back. =) as always, let us know what you think and ALWAYS feel free to make your own suggestions. everything always goes into consideration, as long as it's in reason.

currently compiling my list as well.

very nice... would be better with intel. =)

this is an excellent idea @Troublesim .....

thanks to @Hazzay for looking into this. really appreciate it.

first, i'd like to thank everybody who took the time to vote on the F-14 poll i had going on a couple of weeks back (even the one bozo who voted 'no'. you know who you are, lol ) aaaaaaaaaanyhow, it turns out that the F-14 and our server don't exactly play nice. this means that it unfortunately cannot be added.. however, i've supplied a small list of suitable replacement standalone jets that i'd like to see added in lieu of the F-14. these are STANDALONE vehicles. from a server/box addition standpoint, they are NO MORE DIFFICULT TO ADD than any other vehicle we've added in the past.. and we've added plenty of non CUP/Exile vehicles. THIS IS NOT A DIFFICULT TASK BY ANY MEANS. all files are available through armaholic. . i'll be happy to get the list to the people who need it (most of them already have it) so we can get this done and put it to bed. it's not asking much, and won't take long to add and populate in the spawn list for infistar/trader.

i'd love to hear the reasoning behind the singular 'No' vote.

what @Rand0m_Her0 said pretty much sums it up. a lot of us don't do this for recognition, we do it to give back to a community that gave US a home. i think saying that it's a labor of love is an understatement at times noting the work/hours some of us put in to MAKE our servers what they are. i can say with confidence that we wouldn't be where we are now without it being a cohesive team effort from both staff and players alike. it IS about us, not about any individual.. something i believe we all value as a family.
