The Worst Thing in Arma Reforger

[Sgt. Osiris]

No, it's not people using platoon chat to say, "Enemy over there!" or "I'mma smoke this bowl." It's the AI announcer giving an AUDIO response every time a base is captured or something is built. Nevermind the fact the audio is in Russian, when you play Russian, so it's effectively worthless for 99% of the playerbase. I do not need an AUDIO response that a light vehicle depot has been built 5 miles away when I am trying to sneak up on the enemy to capture a point.

I figured out if you change your platoon channel it mutes the AI announcer. It shames me to say this, but I have taken to turning platoon chat off just to mute the AI and obnoxious players. I will flip platoon chat on to give callouts, but I end up missing any important callouts made by teammates.

Has anyone figured out a way to turn off the audio responses made by the AI other then turning off the platoon channel? The text based updates that appear on the top of your screen are helpful, but I do not need an AUDIO update.

There’s an adjustment for this under audio settings. I think it’s called “commentary”or maybe “dialogue”; can’t remember. I turned mine down to like 40%.

And no. The worst thing is people (especially squeakers) constantly talking to their friend over platoon chat or grown men bickering and telling each other to eff them self over and over.

And teamkillers and people just sabotaging everything.

Last night I made the mistake of aiming down my sight to quick check if my red dot was on. There were 2 friendlies standing in front of me. We were at our captured base. Dude thinks I’m going to shoot him so what does he do? Flat out mows me down while complaining about me pointing my gun at him (I aimed at the ground below his feet; I actually do have weapon etiquette) and then I GET BANNED OVER IT because they decided to vote to kick?!?!?!

Get the fffffff out of here with that.

Have you tried joining another server ?

The worst thing in Arma Reforger is the lack of some basic features that can only be addressed by mods, but since the do not allow monetization, modders have no interest in working on custom basic mods. The DEVs are too damn lazy to do it, but you can't pay anyone else to do it.

It makes the game less empty/loney that makes me think someone is out there and did something. So I would like to keep it.

Game mods have been free forever. Some have had years of effort put into them. It's a labour of love for some people.
I'd imagine the only people not wanting them free are those who want to profit from them without actually caring that it would split the player base into those who have and those who don't. Anyone with half a brain can see why that would be a bad thing, so it is the right decision to not have them.
Imagine 100 servers, each with their own paid individual mod requirements and 100 different paid mods. Nah, f that!

You assumed a bit too much. This is a private server with a set player base. It would not have any affect on the cesspool of crossplay gaming they have going on the backend. I am talking about basic features like saving the state of the game and not just parts they think are sufficient. We can already run our server online completely independent of the backend. Its just a matter of addressing basic features they seem to be unable to provide.

lmao, a sock puppet account for the recently banned grifters, imagine my shock!

Hey Fraud Howard, this isn't Skyrim; go away.

This game could definitely use more content, but having gone through loads of modded servers now, I have to say I am thoroughly disappointed with how much "content" bloatware is just standard. No, I don't want 40 pages of drip, most of it garbage, and 2/3 of which is just repeats in different trash camo patterns. 35 M4 and Ak variants each, most of which are identical except for attachment skins is not the play either. No wonder some of these servers crash so much!

7 different helis, differing only in their payload (most of which are garbage anyway; do you seriously need heat seeking missiles in your little bird?), 12 different humvees on top of the vanilla selection, 8 tigrs, 9 m113s, and so on; this is just bloat. Add a new gun to a vehicle, or don't bother. Performance will improve, I promise.

You mentioned you have a "private server with a set player base;" that's code for "we pretend we milsim by shooting bots and beep booping on the radio real cool like in our tiger print panti- I mean camo."

You keep mentioning these "basic features," and I have to wonder what you consider to be a feature; based on who you are, I wouldn't be surprised if being able to fold the flank mirrors on a car is a "basic feature" that bohemia really needs to spend time developing.

Here's a question for you: if you really need save game states, "milsim mirrors" and a private server to scam people on, why don't you go play arma 3? It has 12 years of "content" for you, all 4 jets, 2 tanks, 2 apcs, and all the beep booping milsim ♥♥♥♥ you could desire. There's even a few thousand mods right up your alley! Please, check that game out man, I'm sure you'll really enjoy it.

I will have to check it out, thank you. I hope it doesn't effect AI dialogue as I'd still like to hear them to know they are around.

Drop the radio; no communications worth having, and if someone is trying to teamkill you, you already know they aren't going to stop because you told them to.

So what if he wants to play on W.C.S servers? They're always full. He didn't say that it's developer's problem or anything. But it is a worst thing indeed

Last night my group was just arguing among each other, i haven't played the game in a while so i forgot what key makes you change the radio frequency so after after a few minutes i got sick of the constant bickering and just dropped my radio.

I can't drop the radio. I gave the game a negative review because of the lack of teamplay/communication even though you're probably right lol. The game promotes solo play and not team play which aggravates me the most. Single squads to see each other on the map. A single player AFKing in a bush can stop players building for 10 minutes. The previous point will be even worse when they disable spawning on contested points. No restrictions to the platoon radio is another one.

I guess I'll stick to flicking the platoon channel so I can actually hear the game.
