Arma 3 Catch All

Thursday is a little problematic for me as that's become our R6:Siege night, but I'm flexible outside of that. I'll show up whenever most people can make it.

I got:
Wed for tabletop night
Thurs for R6 Siege
Fri for Gears 4

Crap, I gotta make room for For Honor and Sniper Elite 4 now. If you guys can float a day/time I'll try and drop something.

Ok, we have a decent sized crew:
Pred
Legion
MisterStatic
KEA_Lightning
trashi
Dakhath

If weekends are on the table I suggest a couple options:

Saturday: 9PM EST/6PM PST till whenever
Tuesday: 9PM EST/6PM PST till 3AM EST/12AM PST

I can't join until 9PM PST on Tuesdays but that would give East Coasters a reasonable option.

I'm neck deep into too many games right now, but i might be able to do a weekend session at some point.

I'm cool with either of those nights.

Alright, let's go with the following options starting next week.

Saturday: 9PM EST/6PM PST till whenever
Tuesday: 9PM EST/6PM PST till 3AM EST/12AM PST

Just sign up in the thread and we'll meet up on Steam.

Friend me up if you haven't already (TrashiDawa).

I may check this out.

I may jump on some times as well.

I'm in for tonight.

Tuesday Sitrep:

Mission:
Apex Mission 1
Squad (so far):
Legion
Nyxs Optare
Naterstein (?)
Time:
9PM EST/6 PM PST
Comms:
GWJ Discord

I won't be able to join until ~12AM EST/9PM PST so I'll check and see if you guys are still going.

@Legion - would you like to be squad leader and get the team set up?

I might be a hair late, dinner with the wife for VDay, but probably no worse than 6:30pm Pacific.

Alright, I'm back, but I don't see anyone in the Discord

Looks like a wash tonight...let's blame it on Valentine's day...

Starting signups for Saturday 9PM EST/6PM PST

- trashi
- Legion
- Nyxs Optare
- lactose
- Druidpeak (maybe)

Naterstein and I took a stab at the first mission ourselves, after some fussing to get the game hosting on my machine. We died.

I've asked the mods in the Discord server to add an ARMA room for us to use. Hopefully we'll get that in place by Saturday.

I wasn't thinking. I run the iRacing league on Tuesdays. I should be good for Saturday evening though.

I would be interested in Saturday night as well

Label me a "Maybe" for Saturday night.

Server is up:

GWJ SEREs & Beers
pass: sgtstan

Sadly I was late tonight and it looks like you guys have a full foursome, which I am happy to see.

I'll join you all next session.

Good run last night guys and sorry we missed you Legion. The 4th was a random but he was a decent dude to play with.

We made it through the first 3 missions. The next order of business is to figure out how to host our own server so we can pick and choose which mission we want to run. Both Lactose and I tried to host but the games weren't showing up in the server list so we ended up hopping on an empty official Apex server.

crap, forgot all about this last night

You definitely either have to port forward or have UPnP enabled on your router (and check the UPnP box when creating the room) to get it to work.

On top of that, have to make sure the arma3.exe is permitted in the Windows firewall.

Gents.

We have an ARMA server up and running.
This page will give you the server info.
The Player Info tab is woefully out of date and we've scaled back on required mods so you should only need the CBA mod to join. PM me for the server password. I may need to run an update on the server, too. But once you're connected you can use the '#vote admin' command and promote someone to admin and load any mission using the #missions command.
I'll try to ensure the server is updated in the next day or so.

Thanks Masher! Had no idea the old server was still kicking.

Saturday, February 25 Sitrep:

Mission:
Apex Mission 4+
Squad (so far):
trashi
Time:
9PM EST/6 PM PST
Server:
GWJ ARMA Server
Comms:
GWJ Discord

I just ran an update on the server, so it should be ready to go.
I'm also fairly sure the CBA mod is up-to-date on the server. It looks like the last revision to CBA [according to Armaholic] was on September 30, 2016 and I know we've run at least one session since then. The GWJ website mod list shows the wrong version number, but the correct date, so I'm fairly confident it's OK.
If you run into any problem, let me know and I'll try to get it resolved before Saturday.
Wish I could join but I am traveling and don't get home until later on Saturday.

I didn't post here because I am lazy and also because I didn't think I could make it.

I'd love, LOVE to do some ArmA-ing with people, and have always wanted to screw around with Zeus to give people a good time, but I doubt my schedule works with most of yours. I'm only available for games on Sundays and Mondays, unless you're all playing at 1 AM EST Tuesday thru Saturday.

That said, if anyone would like to play around during the times inbetween, feel free. I really do wanna check out the Drop-in/Drop-out SP campaign in Apex.

Ditto, I'd love to join you guys as well. Am I reading correctly that there's a 4-player cap on the APEX missions?
