What's happening to the community?

[*NwA*Orford]

I find that the new influx of PR players has diluted the game slightly. To the point that other severs give them short shrift unless the new guy takes the time to RTFM and ask whats going on. I have mentioned in other posts *NwA* tries to coach new players and squad up with them. Also alot of the PRTA members were playing on *NwA* every day until they started PRTA a few months back.

It also depends on time of day as from 4-8pm you get the kids who want to win at all costs and its a major pain to admin. Some dont get the FUN of having a 20min fire support move and flank firefight. Building and defending a FOB while attacking a cache or capping a flag.

Ghoisting can be a pain happens due to certain clans wanting clan mebers to be on the same side and if not they spoil it for every one. Then when every one gets banned the scream NOT FAIR and wasnt us until there blue in the face.

Best way to get a good game if your short on time or want to spend the night on PR. join mumble see how many are in each server SL channel then go from there. More SL`s the better the team work.. Once you load the game and select *NwA* I and any admin who is in mumble will kick none mumble players to get you on the server. Mumble isnt forced on players on our server but will get you into a full server. Im sure that gose for PRTA UKWF also.

I played on all the these servers and they all have the same issue but in different ways, PRTA is more disciplined but seems to kick people too often

It's impossible to kick too many people who are spoiling the game for others/preventing serious players from joining.



Also, I had a mumble problem (it conflicted with my ATI Tray Tools overlay) and thus 'relegated' myself to non-mumble servers. Got mumble working and as a result played with it on in PRTA. People in that round had their heads screwed on, and can I tell you, it was a completely different game to me from then on.

Please give me your excuses for not using mumble.. System resources allocation is not a good one. Fair enough if you don't speak English, but there must be some server in your locality that speaks your native language?

Chat spam can be annoying 'MUMBLE CHECK' but really is infrequent and ignorable. See it as radio chatter if you will. Talking a CAS squad or mortars onto a target directly more than makes up for it..

Didn't know that, cheers Orford.

i wanted to say something to the first post:

as i remember, tank crews for example were much more rambo like and egoistic in the days before 0.6.
however the times where some newb asked a stupid question nobody wanted to answer were much more rare. and then everyone jsut said "RTFM", I myself didnt even know what rtfm mean at first, but i thought "Its PR, im okay with this".
today every kid starts to cry immediatly if you say "just read the manual" (which is much more polite than RTFM") and then ten thousand discussions start on the forums why the "elite players" are so unpolite. new players just miss the point of what pr actually is, they dont even think about changing their gaming habits.
its not the same as it was soem years ago, PR s definately not just a game anymore.

I know Wicca is weird, but that does not mean that PRTA has no good teamwork. It has it's ups and downs but I can get some good teamwork on there as SL:



Must say the squad was well disciplined and performed above average. We worked together with the NATO guys from 23rd and mainly supported them when they took out the cache. We had a 58/3 k/d mid game but I think we ended up with something like 80+/20.

In my eyes the community has changed, when I first played about 4 years ago there was more discipline, respect to other players and more mature players taking on the role of Squad leader or Commander and doing so successfully. You would listen to them and have an awesome round or don't and get kicked out of the squad.

Nowadays People tend to do their own thing more often and don't really bother about the team and the objective but I can't think of anything that caused this problem. The lack of discipline is the biggest problem within a squad I think, you can't run a squad when people decide to run off on there own without orders or even asking. Teamwork between squads is mostly poor in non mumble servers, I think it gets better and better when people start to see the advantages.

Join a clan, or get involved in the tournament. The a low minority community i find have a "fu*k off" attitude. I'll have 9 situations where the community is five star, and you steam roll through the game. and then i will have 1 where either you have a sniper squad not communicating, or an APC just going for kills.
