I was happy to hear squad leaders conversing in squad lead channel when I wa CO few days ago. Really impressed with your server aand the players!

glad to hear this.

it might not be like this everyday but it is quite common to hear people talk over squad chat quite often and sometimes we have squads that are working together all the time and it is lovely to see and hear

We had some nice rounds full of teamwork today, special thanks to Com. Dr H4x for keeping our team together! And yeah, epic counter attack of the chinese team when we capped the last flag on shiya, it made the obvious end really thrilling again.

Sounds great. What time does NWA ramp up (pr time)?
I'm US time so I'll make an effort to join more often.

Cheers for the feed back K4on, that round was by far the most hectic I've ever played! Shame about the following rounds though, the Chinese team got our asses handed to us on the next few maps

Thanks for the feedback K4on, seen you on the server a fair bit recently . That round was a pretty epic round, the chinese would have won by like 1 ticket if the JDAM had hit Shijha South but it didn't load in time

@DDS, as exe said, most days around 13:00-14:00 PRT the server is up and pretty well seeded. Depending on the players that are on the server, it lasts until 23:00-01:00 PRT although 01:00 is generally more on the weekends and in the summer when more people don't have to worry about getting to work/school/uni the next day.

You guys should edit your rules. Yesterday we were on Karbala INS and killed an enemy HAT guy. We transported it to a good place, resupplied it and waited for vehicles. This took us about 10 minutes and alot of firefights while transporting the Kit. When it was at a good place, alot of vehicles passed us but we were not able to shoot them, since the HAT blacks out too fast sometimes. Every third or fourth time ou pick it up, it usually lasts a little longer so you barely have time to aim and shoot straight away. Suddenly a Stryker stopped and we had visual. It took us another 5 minutes to find the right "pickup moment" to actually be able to fire the HAT without blacking out instantly. So after about 20 minutes of hard work we killed the Stryker and the enemy team raged. The admins told us this would be an exploit and we should stop. While we were talking I went through alot of shit to get ammo for the HAT, died probably 5 times, in constant fear that the HAT is gonna disappear soon. Finally I made it. Had the HAT ready and a Tank standing right in front of me. Easy kill, but admins kept saying this would be an exploit and we would get punished if we did it again.

So this was a very disappointing moment, with the tank standing right in front of me, but me not allowed to kill it. Just because some retard in the enemy team brought a HAT to the battle.

You should add this to your rules, so there will not be further confusion, since the usage of enemy kits is not allowed. Like Sniper, C4, HAT etc.

It is the first time I experience that admins on a server do not allow this and call it exploiting. Since it is the enemys fault in the first place, and it is a shitload of work to actually be able to use the kit effectively. In most cases it would be much easier to take a bombcar and ambush the vehicle. The usage of the enemy HAT just adds the satisfying lulz to it when you kill something with it, because it takes so much time and because the enemy itself is responsible for their loss.

You guys should forbid using enemy medic kit to revive friendlies aswell. And using enemy Officer Kit to place FOBS should be banned too. I mean it is definitely an exploit. just saying. You should make that clear in your rules.

What admins were saying this ?

Lord-Crenshaw and Jevski.

I was there and I think it is a misunderstanding, I though Crenshaw was more aiming to the BLUFOR team taking all the fancy kits and losing them.

No, when he said it for the first time, I directly asked him if insurgents are not allowed to use the HAT. (No, they are not was the answer).

nevertheless, your late-night-rounds are usually quite enjoyable

RIght, sorry about this, I'll clear some things up for you to start with and then I'll remind our admins. Firstly, the only instance of using an enemy kit we do not allow is using the engineer kit to make C4 vehicles such as C4 bikes. Using other enemy kits like a HAT, Sniper, Officer, Medic, etc is allowed on our server.

On the admin side, Jevski is no longer an admin at NwA, he and several other members have lite admin privilages which means when there is no admin on someone can look after the server, kick, set the next map, mapvote, etc. I will have a chat with crenshaw when I see him.

Thanks for clearing this up so fast. First time I had problems on your server, other than that it is always a pleasure to play on it.

That was indeed a big disappointment... So much effort and time put into having the kit rearmed and well positioned only to not be able to use it after we killed the apc.

That tank would have been destroyed if it wasn't for the admin not allowing us to use the HAT. Instead, he killed us after quite some minutes of looking at him without being able to do anything.

Thanks for clearing that up. I think that sometimes rules are not specific enough and admins end up interpreting them in their own way, which results in this type of situation. And since there are so many different rules for each individual server, it is hard to keep track which one got which rules even as a regular player.

The problem is we cant have rules for every singel thing that you are not allowed to do. that list would be super long.

I agree that it is hard to keep track on server rules on all servers but if there is something that you dont know you are allowed to do easiest thing is to ask. no one will bite your head off if you ask what you can and not do.

No problems guys, I accpet its hard to remember which rules are for which server (one advantage of having a server is you don't have to do that lol). But as exe said we cannot have a rule for everything, rather rules that cover lots of eventualities. Out of insterest did you guys manage to get the date and rough time of the incident?

APC was killed with the HAT exactly at

00h:16m:28s PRT on the 04.05.2013

Spook and his recordings

Actually what bugged me the most was that there was so much talk from the admin about the HAT incident and when I reported a tk that was done on purpose, there was no reply what so ever. But then when the kiowas were getting locked near main, there was the admin again, spamming the chat about it.

I know it is hard to be an admin, specially if the admin is actually doing his job more than playing. But in this case, it really seemed like he only cared about the issues that put his team at a disadvantage, ignoring the reports or requests coming from the opposite team. And if we say something about it, we're "whinning" and it gets disregarded anyway.

It really makes us think twice if we should go to the trouble of reporting stuff at all.

What is the message on your black screen when you pick up the enemy HAT kit?
"you cannot use this kit" (paraphrasing)
There used to be an ability to use enemy special kits BUT the DEV's removed it. So using the kits when game mechanics tell you not to, is exploiting the game. And it troubles me that NWA allows this, very very disappointing.
