AAS DAY?

Just an idea i want to throw out there.......

I as well as a good few other clan members as well as many "pubers" prefer to play AAS to INS, so here i make my suggestion.
Once a week on a day early in the week (Monday, Tuesday) i would like to run the mixed server as a AAS only from say 3pm onward, thus making AAS day. Not only for selfish reasons ( Mainly ) but i think it will draw more players in on not so popular days. Because as some of you know im a Chef and tend to get my days off not at the weekend but early in the week so i would also be able to Admin.
AS i said hopefully would draw more players in and we always have the INS server if other members want to play INS.
Obviously this post is more towards the Reds as It isnt up to me what goes on the server but would need All Clan members feedback to what they think

AAS for the Win!
Cheers LITTLE_MIDGET

Mixed server was runnin' AAS 3 maps in a row the other day from what I witnessed. Really need to dedicate a whole day to it?

boo aas.

CAS DAY!!!!!!!!!!

Look, a mixed server is a mixed server and sending people that want to play insurgency to an empty server won't work. AAS days seem fun to me, but don't go PRTA style and refuse playing insurgency. It is often a struggle to seed one server, two servers must be a total disaster then to properly seed it and admin it.

So I am not against AAS day on Monday or Tuesday for example, but I don't want to get insurgency not or barely played the rest of the week otherwise things will get repetitive since 'Nam maps are often not played and the same with Normandy.

Just a message from one of your fans.

What about INFANTRY DAY? Playing Yamalia or Iron Ridge with the inf layer should be loads of fun. No pesky tanks to watch out for, just pure gunskill and tactics.

You sure about Yamalia and INF? Maybe Burning Sands INF lay-out.

Just a few things to clarify, the nam maps have a tendency to crash the server when setnext and many people dislike the WWII maps. We are trying to see what the public wants, recently the INS server has been seeding a lot and we have had 2 full servers up and running and if we have an INS server running then that means the mixed becomes mostly AAS.

To be quite frank most admins (and a lot of pubbers) hate playing INS maps, they are too long (2 hours minimum, compared to the 1-1.5hours average for AAS maps), caches are easy to predict, and the end result is people get bored easily, however, if people in TS especially want a specific INS map then we will put it on other than that maps will be played according to the standard ask in TS then either make a mapvote from the suggested maps or just decide in TS.

Other than that AAS day sounds fun, if people want an INS day then you have a server set up and ready to seed.

Shabz, that would have been on sunday when the INS server is up anf running fully. And Pronk if you read my Post again you will see that half of what you said is Irrelevant as it will be a one day a week thing (hopefully) on a monday/Tuesday(a harder day to seed).
Its all about drawing in more players. Get the server full earlier in the week. Making Events to out do other clans.
To be the BEST!

I wouldn't have bothered posting my above comment had the insurgency server been popped. It was empty all day while mixed ran 3 AAS in a row, just frustrating for someone who does like INS.

I might have overreacted Midget and Co. However the odds are small that the insurgency server and mixed will be up at the same time and will be properly run due to real-life occupations.

I am just afraid I have to play a whole week of terrible Jabal, Shija and Muttrah rounds to finally play one round of Fallujah which is what happened on PRTA in the past.

No need for Insurgency day, just need to make sure I can play a few rounds of insurgency on the mixed server each week.

this AAS day pronk is 1 day per week to have AAS only. I like this idea since I HATE how insurgency is now. only thing I love about ins is c4 on caches

the rest of the time should be mixed.

AAS does have a tendency to draw in more people, so I'd have to agree with this. Keeping it limited to a low-seed day like Monday is perfect, as people just want to get in-game after the first day of week and blow stuff up. AAS is more forgiving about lack of team work, where as INS can be a pain in the ass.

Insurgency is a good way to seed the server, and about the teamwork thing, I have seen lots of AAS "lovers" that go complete retard while playing Insurgency just because they hate the game mode. You need to keep an eye on that and look if they keep behaving that way.

Skirmish is a pretty good way to seed a dead server. INS can get annoying with seeding as you have 15 guys sitting on the cache, and the blufor searching for the hidden cache with 2 guys sitting back and randomly sniping.

My main gripe is the easy prediction of caches and well... C4 caches. That irks me into death.

My post and idea quite frankly has nothing to do with INS, It is about an event to draw players on an early day in the week! for ONE day of the week! A monday or Tuesday. Pronk please read posts properly!!! One day, not everyday!
It will go down well im sure!

sounds good, looking forward to it. Can you create a list of maps and I'll make it into a maplist.

My input for AAS maps;

Burning Sands 32
Kozelsk Alt
Marlin Inf
Kashan Alt
Black Gold 32

I SUPPORT THIS IDEA!

But will suggest you go Skirmish maps in between some of the big AAS maps Mr. MiniMidget.

Pronk, Chill bro.. you missing out on an Ins map 1 day in the week is not gonna kill you or the server for that matter, we are NOT PRTA or CIA or what ever in between, we the *NwA*.

PeacE! G.

Marlin inf is kinda unbalanced, you'll need a good MEC team to not get steamrolled early.

Black Gold 32 (APC+CAS version, right?) is terrible, it all comes down to the APC's and if they're down the infantry gets pinned down, waiting for their APC's to spawn before they even have a remote chance of moving on to the next flag without getting butchered by the enemy APC's. Make Black Gold infantry only or with full assets.

Why not just have one AAS server and one Ins server? It is my understanding that the majority of the pubbers on the mixed server are there for AAS rather than Ins and, as has been mentioned above, don't like Ins all that much becuase of game times, broken game mechanics etc.

Why not just turn the mixed into an AAS server, and those who wish to play Ins are more than welcome to join the Ins server. If it is only certain admins that wish to play Ins they have the added bonus of reserved slots so switching between the servers should be pretty simple. Also, it solves the issue of some admins only making votes for AAS maps while others think the mixed server should actually played mixed maps.

Just an idea.

reason why we dont have a AAS only server is because we rarely get two server up at once.

reason for a mixed server.

@slorg - what exe said, we play a lot of AAS but seeding 2 servers is a pain in the ass, admining 2 servers is even worse.

@everyone else:

Map wise just names of maps please, admins will go through the layouts and create a maplist based on what we know works and doesn't work.

Sweet, will work on a maplist and post it to you Delt
any one want suggestions PM me!
No ESSAYS please
Looking forward to it! Plus remember we should be able to get alot of Maps in this time and we will be map voting!

And i like the skirmish breaks inbetween G! gives everyone a chance to chill go eat/drink etc before getting serious again

After looking at how my shifts at work are gonna run, Tuesday would be best if thats ok with you guys!

Looking forward to it!

Cheers Everyone

Also maybe think of less played smaller maps, ie tad sae 16player layout, muttrah city infantry layer, etc.

Need more Vehicle Warfare breaks in between please!

So the List is done!

I Appreciate all these maps wont be playes but well be map voting

std or alt version of burning sands?

helis on both.

Don't like Quinling, could really be a server killer when not played "well" you should watch out for that otherwise you are back to square one.

good point Exe I believe just STD.
Na dthats is why we are map voting Pronk

Black Gold alternate vehicle warfare?

APCs!

no cas on alt burning sands afaik

yes it is delta. only difference in STD and ALT version of burningsands is jdam or artillery. nothing else.

isn't it 32 player = inf layout, 64 player= normal STD layout, you get JDAM on the large one which is normally the 128 player layout...

16 INF layout 32 alt layout 64 standard. 32 and 64 layer is jdam or artillery. only difference.

yh my bad, I just loaded it and checked, I was originally going on the map name the large ones are usually 128 player ones with std being 64 and alt being 32

Just a Litte bump for the idea again on our new server. (the right way this time )

I like it! I support this idea!

I have to admit, i used to dislike playing ins, specially on the ins side, but the past couple of weeks i actually prefer playing it and prefer playing on the ins side

All it takes is a little bit of getting used to! I honestly I think it is the most unique game mode out there.

AAS mondays will be continuing as they used to - was a popular idea and the public enjoyed it

Splendid!

Is it possible to put it in the server title again?
