I've just removed the first post, replaced with a message. Feel free to do whatever you need to.

Hey guys, i'd like to thank you all for the massive interest in our server after we reopened up last week!

Just wanted to give a little update regarding the recent streak of server crashes,

We are actively working on minimizing the server crashes as much as we can, we are looking into migrating the server to Linux instead of Windows to see if that increases stability.

The updated rulelist will follow shortly!

If you have any suggestions/questions for us feel free to post here/Pm me or post on *NwA* Clan

Thanks!

Yaaay Linux!

Great one

Have you already updated the server to linux and so on? I still rubberband consistently every round I've played on NwA. More on some maps and less on others, but still always a little bit.

[sweedensniiperr]

BTW, it's not the players job to look for AFK and unassigned people.

And don't give me the excuse that you want to play PR, so does I and the guys I want to play with that tries to join the server. If you have too few admins which means that you can't provide admining, imo you should stop the server.

Still working on that!

Kicking AFK players is not our first priority, if you and your friends wish to join the server you can order a reserved slot, if not you can join another server.

We are more than happy to make room for people but we wont be glued to the playerlist to see if people spawn in or not, we kick AFK'ers when we have the time.

We appreciate your concern over AFK players and we do try to keep on top of it as much as possible.

However, there are ways of asking that will get you results and ways that will quickly get people's backs up. The following is an example of the latter...

"2015-10-07 20:11:32: R performed by ' [PR]MRF|ALexswesnipr': 12 unassigned GB, wanna do something about that?"

Also, noticing that you are wearing PRT tags, asking in that manner is not quite within the ethos of the tournament either.

[sweedensniiperr]

I can agree that my report was not in the nicest manner. And I also agree that admins can't be on top of the unassigned list 100%, for example when there's 4-5 unassigned/AFK.

But 12 unassigned? Surely you can't disagree that something should be done at that point?

[Delta1292]

I completely agree with you that there should not be 12 people unassigned at a time, however, in this specific instance I believe that most if not all of the admins were on the other side, meaning that we cannot see people who haven't spawned in, since in one of the recent patches of PR dead/unspawned players on the other team are not shown. It is much easier to see when you are on a team as they are the people at the bottom of the squad list who haven't spawned, yet for an admin on the other side to keep track of them is slightly more difficult.

We are, however, discussing the issue internally and looking into ways of managing unassigned/afk people.

[Nate.]

If admins are on the other side, all kinds of reports such as "!r squadleader 7 not responding" or "!r heli noob pilot in A12" or "!r duplicate Tank squad" lead to exactly nothing because admins can't confirm them.

This is why a proper report always gives a player name if admin actions are needed.

[sweedensniiperr]

I'm glad that we could resolve this.

My initial post and the report in-game as you could probably tell was a bit frustrated.

[Vincento94]

We had a little hiccup with mumble not working this afternoon, should all be fixed now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Vincento94]

Servers will be down for the next couple of days whilst we switch to Linux.

Server back up

[disnoxxio]

Well I'm glad the administration is fine, but I had some terrible rounds tonight. There was absolutely no team cohesion whatsoever, infantry squadleaders walking with different kids then the squadlead kit. Recon squads going off in the middle of the desert and armour that probably didn't even make it further then 3 grids out of main. 4 crashed choppers.

For all this I aint blaming NWA but the administration can be a little bit more focused on enforcing teamwork in my opinion. You guys have a great team able to do that but I think we need to actually see that as well to have the teamwork PR should be about.

Just had to give my few cents on this.

Hello Discoxxio,

We understand your concerns and i'm sorry you had a bad round, although the admin teams does its best to enforce teamwork and keeping a healthy balance between teams it also difficult to micromanage a team. We are strict on freekit squads, squads without any proper leadership etc. There are sometimes rounds that unfortunately just don't work out.

When there is a obvious unbalance of teams we usually scramble the teams on next round and manage a good balance of clans on both teams but that is all we can do.

Thank you for leaving feedback though, I will inform all admins to be extra vigilant towards people not working coherently as a team.

[disnoxxio]

Thanks for the fast reply, I do appreciate the new AAS-INS voting btw, it clearly shows that Europeans tend to play AAS more which can only be better for the team play in the end. Anyways I'll see you guys on the battlefield!

MECH INF RULES


- Max 1 Mech INF squad allowed.
- Mech INF may claim an APC once it has 6 members.
- Mech INF is subject to the normal asset claim order. If APC is created first, APC claims what - APC/IFV they want, but they must reserve one APC/IFV for Mech INF.
- If Mech INF is created first, they choose what APC/IFV they want to use.
- Mech INF can only claim ONE primary APC/IFV and its possible respawns. If the primary APC/IFV is killed, Mech INF can request to borrow a second one from APC squad (if available), or they must wait for their original APC/IFV to respawn.

I love your Mech INF rules. The Original APC squad CAN reject the MECH INF squads request for a second APC after their first one dies correct?

And what about pre-game spam on mumble? Like during the "briefing" time after you create a squad after 2:00 minutes. Will you guys kick players for spamming pre game? A lot of servers have that issue and it's a pain in the butt to plan out whats going to happen with the team.

Hopefully I'll probably hop on NWA after I get a reply on here!

Thanks much!

Yes the mech inf can only claim 1 APC, they will need to wait till it respawns to use it again.

About pre-game spam we are strict on that, squad leaders need to set up their squads before the game. Unnecessary yelling and screaming is not needed and will not be tolerated.

See you on the battlefield!

Had fun! BUT....

Just left Jabal (had to leave) and my god, literally NO teamwork. Communication only was with a transsquad and recon sqd. Some members of Recon squad TOOK APC SQUAD APC... I mean, the APC squad had 4 locked... don't know if it allowed. Didn't catch names of them but it is ridiculous. One of them wasted a BMP3. The only decent APC on that map.

Damn that sucks,

APC squad can only be locked if all their assets are in use, if squad leaders are not communicating or not team working with other squads etc you can report them to the admins and they will be resigned. Also if APC squad keeps on wasting APC's they are subject to a kick/resign as well.
