Nice attempt at humor. 5/7

Fun for some, headache for others..

Sorry to joining this discussion with little off-topic, but does it actually really happen that peaple from Near East insult American people (and possibly vice versa) on NA servers? I play on EU servers only and have never witnessed that, so I am just curious.

Only good playerbase was on TG, rest NA servers are just pain.

I think people should start learning Russian and hop on Russian Reality PROS. I played there couple times, I expected far less, but it was by far really enjoyable experience. Language barrier is the only issue.

Even EU servers are meh. Everyone who is veteran, oldtimer its kinda sad that there is no place to enjoy the game.

The rule is quite simple:

NA servers when you want to fuck around. (expect HOG, admins are susceptible)

EU servers when you want to play seriously.

@Duck Get a job and run your own server.

since this thread turned into 'my country is better than yours' i will share my experience.
I always play on hog or fcv or prta, respectively 10% 50%% 10%, the other 10% are the WW2 servers. such as OD-S and some russian one. 18% eu servers, 2% other like brazil and saga

can say NA servers are a lot more easy going and focused on having fun and playing the game, while EU servers are more focused on playing the game.
hence why you will see a lot of the trash talk coming from europeans, however there are still a select few from NA whom also trash talk.

the fact is EU servers are not a good place for new players to start, as they'll probably just get told how shit they are and get kicked from squads until they find a free-kit one.
NA servers have a plethora of new players as a result, and then the gameplay deterorates as it shifts to training new players instead of doing good in the game, depending on the time and people in the server.

tldr:
EU servers are serious, but perhaps too serious to be practical and too toxic towards new players, and even players who just want to play some PR. sometimes it's closer to the simulation level of things. it's good for playing a milsimmish kind of deal, but sweaty tryhards will annoy players.

NA servers aren't as serious, they also have a lot of new players because it is less toxic, you generally will have 1-2 squads who are complete shit, fucking around, or free kit squads, however everyones having a blast except for those 8 people. you will get close to the simulation level of things, but never actually play in it. it's practical for just playing the game, a realistic game with realistic mechanics, but having fun.

the amoutn fo new players on NA can be frustrating just as much as toxic players on EU servers, though.

CN servers are quite welcoming as long as you aren't intentionally screwing around, this is quite similar to NA, aside from the language difference.
brazil servers i can't say.. I barely stuck around cause the language barrier was extremely hard for me.

just remember you are playing a game with simulation elements mixed into it, but its a game.
when you start doing shit(in arma for example, joining a unit and adding ACE and all this other plethora of 'realism') that breaks the gameplay and turns it from practical into milsim, make the game unpractical as a game and then it is now 'look at me i am a deployed serviceperson but within a game engine'.

heres an example:
Arma 3 vanilla - Arcadey revive system, you just need a first aid kit and you can fix up any wounds and revive any unconscious people.
Arma 3 Ace - Unpractical for gameplay, takes 10+ minutes to diagnose a wound, treat it, fix the person and then add any extra things such as tags, morphine, etc. This is only possible at very slow-paced, long ranged fights of 600-1200 meters and very good cover. You can tell because most units who use this, fight AI, because players would just overrun anyone using ace too quickly. And the times that there acutally is a decently populated 40+ v 40+ pvp game, it's taking hours upon hours.
Project Reality - Simplicized revive system, mimics a semi-realistic revival, taking long enough where it impacts the gameplay greatly, however short enough where it's practical enough for gameplay.

I don't know man, first PR server I played on was OD-S and they were really cool to me even with my shit mic back then. I remember being invited to their TS too by Filamu and they showed me around the game. We don't have people like that anymore or clans that were like 3dac and OD-S.

Obviously PR isn't what it used to be and the quality of players changed so this whole NA vs EU thing is dumb, there big clans like OD-S or 3dac aren't around anymore, servers like the CIA server died etc..

Community has changed and in my opinion the current active servers are not a friendly place for new comers.

Yeah, i agree entirely. I really like wiccas approach to getting all the newbies into clans. I think his efforts go entirely underappreciated.

It's tough on both sides - from an SL perspective, newbies can be really, really frustrating to play with. There's many that don't listen, have a poor attitude, have no mic, put no effort in. You can't shoulder all the blame. My rough estimate would put the new players who actually want to have a red hot go at learning PR compared to the rabble is like 1:5.

But because of this many new players get dismissed and never really given a chance.

I need to start giving this speech at the start of every round to my pub squad.

Skip to 2:45

Yeah ODS has an awesome management and staff team, I was also invited when playing when a couple of them joined my squad. They are well trained

Good Morning,

All I see through this whole thread is these three words - "lack of commitment"

For example people who have read the manual, read other strategy material, watched instructional videos (not https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzvueodwB8XLoGX3cMPr11g), played the game for awhile, understand the need for communication, teamwork, building assets, properly utilizing assets, and otherwise staying with your squad. These types of guys are usually committed.
