Arma 3
ArmSTALKER ONLINE
Its great... but not that great
As someone whos been watching this for over a month now I must say Im not too impressed with ive seen. Now before Uncle Boom comes in with the force of a thousand suns to prove to me how wrong I am let me just give my PERSONAL opinion on the new server that was released. Uncle Boom has been promising the community for some time that there will be two servers one or two around the 200 slot range. The day the servers were supposed to release they didnt, after a few more hit and runs later we finally got a server but with only 90 slots and waaaay too many bugs for launch. Personally I love the concept and im not comdeming the developers in any way for their content. My concern Is merely how the server (Or was supposed to be servers) were implemented and executed. I think the developers are doing a great job at what theyre doing but personally I think the whole server fiasco is a bit in poor taste.

^I haven't promised anything. You think I am stupid enough to walk out and promise things to people like You - you turncoat play for fun casual! Hahaha - Hearty laugh there - you must've been talking to your friends at the cheap knock off club. ...What I HAVE done: I have told you what the team has said, and I have *gasp - DARED to take them seriously. This server- the whole thing - has been designed alongside the RP server and primary development by enthusiasts and unpaid creators - in UNDER 2 MONTHS*. Pretty sure you couldn't give them money if you wanted to right now and you know why? Cause loonies more un-based than your Day One critique of a Brand New mission idea - will donate to us - then throw tantrums ten times as BIG

> > > The Team are doing their Best, and it is clear to anyone who has followed our community for any length of time. But You - like so many many others - Want to be impressed even more, because my enthusiasm must be revolting to you, or, it's probably ME - a male who has displayed something you have contempt for.... It's a reason I don't care to understand and it makes you look simple in your criticism. Almost Criticism for Criticisms sake.

Thanks for your attempt to dump on a new idea, and the latest chapter in years on on going development. Whats sad is I know you will come back and play - and you may even talk ♥♥♥♥ later too... You are an Arma 3 player I'm afraid. - so this whole post you made is a pointless waste of everyone's time.

I bet no one on steam realizes that we have ongoing polls posted in VK, in our community - coming from players themselves, suggesting tweeks and adjustments.... They vote on these things and the team DOES them..... You all are simply not involved. You act like this and I am HAPPY you are not. :CSAT:

Ah uncle boom, I was awaiting your untimely reply, you see man I respect you, I really do. Ive never seen someone so devoted to a project as you are BUT I dont see that as a reason for you to belittle other people for seeming miss informed. Now spew your insults on me all youl like. Im not some snowflake ♥♥♥♥♥ who cant take. But I am getting sick and tired of you bullying people who dont seem to completely understand the project and im appauled at how you handle it. If someone came at me with little to no facts I would simply guide them to the forums and or sections of certain discussions that discuss their problems. You redicule me and try to even single me out from the community and say im not part of it. This is not what a community leader does. I hope you soon see the errors of your ways and instead inform people instead of belittle them. Ill pray for you

This. 100% this.

Berating new people to the community is not how you make the community grow. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. If they think the mod is ♥♥♥♥, than that's their opinion and they are fully allowed to have it, because lets face it, some of the mod (in its current state) is ♥♥♥♥. Does that make it a bad mod? No. In fact, us pointing out that part of the mod is ♥♥♥♥ will allow the devs to improve.

Steam is the hub of Arma. It may not be the hub of the mod, but more players will be checking on Steam forums for info on the mod. If you want people to be more informed, be more informative and transparent.

I just cant find any flaw in this logical argument

Looks like the server was taken offline. Now doesnt seem like you wasted all that time showing people how much you despise outsiders and people who arent of your small community? A little compasion will go a long way my friend. Maybe when you grow older youll understand my words better

Well Uncle Boom, I'd say I told you so, but... idk, you're kind of a lost cause at this point.

This is the way you've always been. Maybe you'll finally see what an asshat you're being, but probably not. We want nothing to do with VK. You've shown what cancer it is.

He's apparently from somewhere in Cali iirc? Which would explain why he's so unbearable. I think he just keeps talking about "his" community in the Russian parts because it's the only place he can find special ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ like himself to converse with. That said, I have hope he'll grow out of his phase, maybe the people behind the mod will grow a brain and get a community leader that doesn't openly mock everyone who isn't Russian. Case in point his recent post in the server opening thread.

10/10 community management.

ANYWAY --

After playing on the server today I can hardly recommend it to anybody else. It's buggy to the point of frustration, coupled with the fact that almost none of the UI is translated and much of the community (at least that was on at the time of my playing) shares the same mindset as our dear old Uncle Boom here, in that they all seem to hold a deep-seated disdain for English-speaking players. The one enjoyable experience I can say that I had was trying to figure things out with the only other English speaker that was on at the time. I can't express into words much more clearly than I can just say the whole thing feels like it's not even halfway done. I got the impression everything was just cobbled together in a rush to appease the hoards of English players who Uncle Boom had led on to believe there would be a server up "early to mid April" with 200 slots etc etc. I understand that it's supposed to be an Alpha, a "Work In Progress" but as somebody who's worked on projects such as this, I would be absolutely ashamed of releasing this content publicly, especially when it's coupled with such abhorrent community management on the part of Uncle Boom. I just expected more and I would suggest those who only speak English to wait a while before trying to avoid the unnecessary frustration.

I hope that it gets better myself.

As much as I agree with you about Uncle Boom and some bugs in the server, you can't forget that this is a free modification and alpha state of a sub-mod for the main mod. It has bugs, yes, but it's surely in a playable state and I've had quite a lot of fun. About Russians being disdainful, I highly doubt that. I've met plenty of them that have been quite mature. Maybe you met some that are not happy about English people coming onto their server and speaking English when it's a Russian hosted server/mod; however, this does not seem to be the case for me. Try to learn some Russians sentences and tell them that you don't know their language, it's the least you could do when you're on their grounds; I've done this and many either say OK or speak English for me. Anyways, this mod I can recommend to any S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fans if you're willing to deal with some bugs and go out of your way to learn a little bit of Russian. I will end this with that Uncle Boom does need to learn to be a bit more... "professional."

This, I clearly stated that I was insulting the devs content in no way, merely the server quality and choice of community administrators
