I tried looking for a section on your forums to post my negative experience, but was directed here.

No work for me today, so I decided to load up and play some PR on some random European server due to my timezone. I join merk on Khamisiyah around the same time this post will be created. I joined the trans squad and the squad leader left, so now it's just me. Some guy wanted a ride, so I took the osprey and crashed it on the runway because I failed invert my keys (my first fuckup). Second time, took the same individual out in a trans huey and took him to his destination safely (chemical weapons, with one APC roaming around that I knew about), but got shot down by an unmarked tank near by on the way out. Third time, the osprey had re-spawned, and this time I had the time to fix my jet controls. The same individual, who had been spamming me to take him to his destination, also spammed me with his request for crates. No problem, took the osprey and headed up north towards the MEC main @900m alt. On the angle towards the east, I was warned for something along the lines of "RTB now!" I could understand that the admin probably thought I was going to do something foolish on their main... but that was definitely not the case.. I kept going towards my approach to chem weps to drop crates for my spamming friend, and even though I managed to drop the crates, I get killed by a stationary AA just under my egress route.. again, something that wasn't marked on the map for me know beforehand. I was kicked for 'wasting assets' soon after.



this was the rundown since it was still fresh on my head. I'm only here to share my experience with the server and not stir any personal attacks. I think the admins who were involved should investigate and learn more about what happens in game before they use their divine powers. pr is already dying slowly, and if you guys are going to kick experienced pilots ( yes, I do consider myself experienced :D ) for situations above their reach, then imagine what the impact would be for less experienced players in the long run. of course, how you run your server is up to you, but I appreciate your intention of keeping the server trouble free. needless to say, I do not wish to play here anymore.

You need to learn to say NO to people going into a hot zone,maybe give them a alternative,after all the asset is yours and you should look after it,being a experienced pilot you should already know that.
You also need to ASK your team for any AA reports,asset reports,enemy reports,speak to the other squad leaders on mumble for reports or locations of potential threats to YOUR asset.
You lost the Osprey,it was a accident which happens,the admins knew that so didnt warn you, then you lost a huey by flying into a danger zone,again no warning from our admins. Then you flew the Osprey far too close to MEC main,the RTB warning by the admins was intended to save the Osprey as you were intent on certain doom.
You lost the Osprey doing that maneuver which resulted in a kick.

Admins doing their job mate, sorry you didnt enjoy your experience but you had your fair share of assets and failed to look after them as a experienced pilot should.


We have a training server which you are more than welcome to use, *** =MeRk= HELI/JET TRAINING ***, Password is = merk

Polish up on those skills mate, you didnt get a perm ban, we use !tb as a kick and maybe think about using valuble assets to carry one guy who is spamming you,was it actually worth it? or would it be easier just to say NO! (which you would be well in your rights to do on our server BTW )

This is under the assumption that the area was a hot zone-- it was not, nor was it a flag in play. But being the squad leader of those assets, you are right, I am responsible for those assets, and I failed to look after them. At the end of the day, I rely on intel given by other squad leaders, and none reported (which was just a BTR) were deemed a problem for me.

Correct. I'm not sure why you are assuming that I haven't.

The first osprey incident was an accident on my part, my fault.

As for the huey, and as I mentioned above, the designated area was not a 'danger zone.' Calling that area a danger zone would be similar to calling any area a map a 'danger zone', flag point or not. Nothing was reported in or near that destination apart from a BTR. It wasn't a BTR that shot me down, but a tank. Not much I can do against an unmarked tank with one shot capabilities.

As for the Osprey, I was flying at 900+ meters in the air to begin with. You're telling me if a jet were to fly at the same flight pattern at the same altitude that the pilot would be warned? I highly doubt it.
=MeRk= BluFFeR wrote:the RTB warning by the admins was intended to save the Osprey as you were intent on certain doom.

Again, making random assertions. I could understand that the flight pattern could have been a lot different as they are many ways to approach it, but that is highly subjective. Flying at that altitude shouldn't have caused a problem for the other team, or with the admins. I do understand why the admin made that warning call, but please do not support the decision with a misconception. Doom was inevitable, as the anti air was between chemical weapons and main base, which wouldn't have made any difference had I approached directly from main.


The purpose of my replies is to clear some of the air, as I don't appreciate being accused of fallacies nor accused of being an incompetent pilot (supported by joining your flying server.. pretty weak). I apologize for using this medium for my specific experience. I'm going to leave it at that note, please message me if anything needs to be addressed further, I do not wish to complicate this thread anymore, that was not my intention.

WTF WHAT just happened??? PRspy telling me ~ 70 players on Bijar, I start game, WTF!?!? in server list MERK running ASAD KHAL skirmish and 5 (FIVE!!) players only left from the initial 70 ? Server crash or no admin who set next map to AAS ? -.-

My guess would be a crash. I'm not in my Windows install ATM so I can't check, but I think it's extremely unlikely that Asad was the next map by default.

I am mad about MERK today...

Today on Marlin AAS... I Was on French team In APC sq.

Some player from inf squad (sq 1) stole my APC from main, drove it one manned it to his squad. Sayig "they needed help". And left it by his squad the entire round.

I reported him to admin, he warned him 2 times.

Then did nothing else. I thought he was AFK.

But the ENTIRE team was completely gosh I don't know... dumb?

NO ONE COMMUNICATED. One person typed in chat: "Does any squad actually comunicate?"
IDK if that was situation on MEC, but honestly. I was really mad about this round. I ended up rage quiting from lack of TW....

Plus, please kick those who steal assets.

BTW:
ARe those french light APC things with .50cal claimable?

I got banned for teamkilling: one of the player on the server, wanted to shoot us anyway, so we went to his team, and killed him, and i got banned. We told him, dont shoot us, but he wanted to that anyway. Sorry for teamkilling, I wanna go back, and practice flying choppers.

Hi Enkeyz, please visit our forum at: http://www.merkpr.co.uk, as this is not the place for kick/ban appeals.

8/10

+Decent playerbase
+Good EU server for my EU brothers
+Ping is not that bad from new york(150-160)
+Merk are some of the best admins I've ever seen. I did not witness any abuse or power tripping when ever I played there.

-82 player cap some on guys, raise it too 100
-Players with Merk tags always seem to be on the same team or same sqaud and they lock the sqauds even when at half capacity
