The only thing I'm worried about would be the FPS hit on such a large map with no distance fog.

That's already an issue. Reason I don't like it. I think it's the map where my FPS get the lowest

Not sure if I have time to join before supper.

I'll be on the server around 20:30 GMT + 1 and earlier if possible

Edit: NOW

who cares, really

Definitely not you, since you ragequitted out of the tournament after 1match ...

Keep out of my post dramaqueen

First of all i am not raging out on anyone here but i am here to tell you all couple points i made out over a few weeks, months and years.

First thing i would like to talk about is ''our'' anti cheat tool. We all knows what its capable off, but it has weaknesses. I am sad to say this but our loved ''admins'' relay more on anti cheat tool than on community voice. I don't know why community is ignored by admins. I mean community plays this game, not a single admin puts so much dedication in the game action. There is some respect to admins such as eliz who works on assist for free and always finds time to develop it. To repeat this message I have not seen once that admins would trust or agree with community on background checks. This goes to the recent topics about zibi and kechup. I am also sure that diesel also uses macro and like half of players, and it is ''one'' i repeat, one of the biggest advantages right now against people who simply cant afford or dont know how to use macro. Thats why anti cheat has weaknesses, it cant catch everything and there is always things that will be undetectable. Admins don't play much like normal players do, maybe they played, years ago or months but community should be in the first place for AAO.

Second point is that we complain about less people. Yes, you're very right about this. I am not sure why we talk about maps or training in the way to bring back more players. I have played AA for a month non stop and now got bored, not because i have dropped my support to assist but because i am bored. Now i say this; if we are not to change game play, tactics, maps then dont talk about how our player base drops. Its not hackers or cheaters that ruins the game, but we are ruining it. We saw 200 players online and growing but it has dropped off again to the minimum player base we had previously. If we disable training or some training aspects then we hell sure to see player base activity rise again but it wont be permanently. Years i have offered assist to go on changing tactics, game play but as ''community disagrees'' with this i see no point to blame admins or make them do things that we not agree with. By the way if you want to bring more players and not to ruin our loved game, we need to fix it ourselves, starting with being nice to each other and unite as community.

Third thing is that the assist poll isn't used much at all. I mean the future aspects of the game should be questioned by community in poll section. As we still have the same question over random spawns we could change it and start asking and placing bits right way. It should be used more often, and it feel to me that that bit is forgotten a lot where i see the only best future we have to communicate with players.

Last problem i see is ''oldschool'' players. I am not going to rage on them or threaten or hurt them by any means but I am saying some facts what i see currently. As you may agree or not agree oldschool players will never want changes, they wont be giving you a chance to change game a bit. What I offered not long ago was random spawns, all i got was negative feedback but, as we see the poll section (answers) it makes me believe that it would be great idea, which i believe and spanky would be a great aspect of the game. Old school player will never want changes, and now we got likely more oldschool players than new players. I don't understand why we want to bring old schoo players back? is it because they are good and skilful? The game should be open to everyone and the main objective should be to bring new players, not old players that have families or businesses to take care of, our latest hope is new members, young member snot old members. Sure we can gain experience from them but thats just all we can get from them.

My last conclusion on all this is that we all blame admins for not doing their job, but its us who is not doing our job, we are split, we are not community and we are not united, and it will never be, because people likes people who they know, its a bit of first view discrimination in all sense. Admins dont relay more on our word but relay on tool that it is runned as a software. I see these points like in political view as we are not worth anything and higher ranked people are more smarter and have more power than others. We ll should be equal and finally the game is not going to move until we start thinking and start progressing in changing tactics, gameplay, a bit map structure and so on. There is lots to do but we say ''NO'' to that so in other words blame ourselves.

First point.

Admins should rely onthe community. Yes and No. I agree that admins don't play very very much, but that's their right, there's nothing wong with it (and who a I to criticize that). As far as listening to the community, Im not sure at all. More than 50% of the community is made of one-mappers they accuse people of hacking when they get owned on the only map they know (no offence, just stating a fact). And banning without proof is just not right. I couldn't even imagine how frustrating it must be for a good clean player to be banned while he was doing nothing wrong.

Point 2

Yes I agree it is becoming boring, but I doubt there is somthing that can be done about that. From time to time there's a miraculous server that plays some original maps, but this has been discussed already enough.

For the poll point, I am not even sure people take the poll seriously. Some might answer while not caring, others might not see it, or others might answer while they have no clue what it is about ...

About the oldschools, yes some of thems are really boring dicks that don't want to change habits, but this game shouldn't change too much or it will become even worse. It might be better to see the game die, the way it was supposed to be played, rather than see it survive a few months longer and see it changed in a completely other game, for a completely other audience.

so my conclusion would be:

People have been trying to invite other players, organize a lot of stuff, to make this happen (AA is still alive, I would never have thought it will). The community can be dramatic at some times, but there is still some nice effort provided by players etc. So eventually people will have to keep in mind that this game won't last forever ...

Maps will be Blizzard and Weapons Cache SE

He was, fwe months ago, why?

Hi Bart. I play for a while from time to time.  But it's not easy to find some free time for aao.

If you decide to set up some team, PM me, I should get mail notification. I would love to go for 20-0 on some cool map like mountain ambush or wherever they claim they know what's going on
