Re: PRTA
I found out what happened, it seems there was just one admin on and it was one of those days that everyone wanted to play up. I spoke to the admin and he just explained that it was just a busy day. I came home on my break that day and I had to jump on prism to sort stuff out, so I know it was quite hectic.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused, we're quite low on staff at the moment

Re: PRTA
You guys should ditch the armour rule, most of the time the armour squad runs with 6 people for 3 tanks and leaves the IFV at main unused. Plus it's best if most of the servers are on the same page for asset rules, less confusion for new players.
Also the squad leader kit rule is dumb and easily abused by admins, had a friend who was SLing dropping his SL kit to pickup our squadmate's breacher kit who was downed to blow up this FOB, he got kicked for trying to contribute to the team. It doesn't make sense.
Not using an SL kit at times doesn't mean your squad is free kitting when you're clearly contributing to the team.
Removing these two rules would be a bigger move towards a new PRTA with it's own identity that distinguishes itself from previous controversies and previous mismanagement.

Re: PRTA
I hear you dude, I totally agree with you, there are several rules that totally "open us up" for controversy and overcomplication. I admire the previous attempt at trying to "push PR forward" but it didn't work. Now I'm left to pick up the pieces and reform PRTA to what I think it should be. I've spoke to a couple of people about this topic recently and it's really given me the insight I needed.mectus11 wrote:snip
I will be making major changes to our ruleset and how the admin team runs. I'm already working on it, however it just takes a long time since I'm the only person to be doing these things for the entirety of PRTA.
Anyway, really appreciate your feedback, thanks.

Re: PRTA
i dont think you should discuss internal leadership disagreements in the server feedback thread.
btw the major reason prta is seeded less often nowadays is that the early afternoon players, which gave you a seeding advantage, migrated to their own SOI server.
+1 for remove armour rule

More servers at the moment competing for the same players. Server being seeded frequently in PR is generally NOT an indication of good quality, sadly.ArkUTD wrote:I wonder, why did the rule set suck if PRTA, for a hole year, got there server up every day without fail, yet, when chav takes charge, it can't even get back to those days.
It disappoints me what PRTA has come to under your leadership chav
The fact that PRTA was constantly fully seeded under a "mom, I wanna be different" type of leadership/ruleset doesn't mean it didn't have problems and discontent within the playerbase.

Maybe Chav has lots of inhabited ideas, (pluss lots of money) and he can support others as he creates the events to make prta great again??ArkUTD wrote:It disappoints me what PRTA has come to under your leadership chav

It was full at the time because there were no other EU servers seeding, now we have two new servers competing with PRTA.
Big difference here, the ruleset isn't an incentive that made PRTA appeal to people, hasn't anyone learned yet from this damn thread and the massive backlash previously?
PRTA seems like it's trying to fix it's reputation so that's a good thing but that doesn't mean they're immune to criticism.
Anyway, bullshit excuses because when you look back no other EU server was seeding at the time, the EU servers that were up at the time were owned by clans that didn't play the game as much before.
Now you got more EU servers and the playerbase will get stretched thin among them, what you're saying is a baseless non-issue that has nothing to do with how prta is being ran now.
Someone's not happy that they can't pay their way into being an admin again.ArkUTD wrote:I wonder, why did the rule set suck if PRTA, for a hole year, got there server up every day without fail, yet, when chav takes charge, it can't even get back to those days.

Re: PRTA
Bullshit mectus and you know it, other servers where constantly tyring to compete against prta and failed. So then those who failed where posting all kinds against prta, Ive been to your area-94 place mectus and your nothing but a bunch of racists, Always saying the N word all over your shoutbox wonder how many players youve turned away from pr with that shit on your site.mectus11 wrote:

Iceman11 blacks are property
Hunter291 i thought the password was n**GER
gwaihir cassius join KKK ts
And now most of those running prta left 2 months back, leaving prta empty most days and now giving you and the others a chance to seed your servers, so yeah i see why your all happy now, youve been giving the crumbs lol.

Re: PRTA
Why PRTA isnt populated heavily? We had more people in the day and pubs just join whatever is on the top at that time. There is no "brand loyalty" in pr for the past 3 years atleast.
I would personally also like to see armor rule changed, IFVs going to mechinf before any type of armor or apc squad.

Re: PRTA
Yes IFVs can only be claimed by Armour squad. I for one think that IFVs should return to APC squads. For example on Black Gold. Armour may claim Tanks, IFVs, Scout Vehicles, and ATGM vehicles. Even with me being an Armour whore i think this is way too much. Also to note that an abundance of assets to one squad encourages a wasteful mentality. Example being that "oh it's okay if we lost 3 tanks we still have the IFVs and ATGM vehicles. We're fine!". Then they immediately lose those which in turn results in the loss of the round. The rules definitely need a rework and we're trying our best to make the PRTA server one that everyone can enjoy and come back to.LEGIYA wrote:Isnt IFV only in armour sq?

Re: PRTA
I will leave out the part where I'd argue mech inf is entirely useless in PR altogether, and just state that mechanized infantry =/= armor hunting.Heavy Death wrote:I would personally also like to see armor rule changed, IFVs going to mechinf before any type of armor or apc squad.
Mech inf is just an infantry squad with the addition of a lightly armored vehicle to help them with transportation and longer range engagements. Not some magical do-it-all combination of IFV, HAT and AA being wasted on a squad that will get less done than good players soloing those kits separately.

And ATGM got nerfed,it cannot one shot tanks from front anymore.Its pointless for IFVs to be in armour squad anymore...
