These are errors with the mods themselves, so fixing them is out of our control unfortunately.
-
The main focus of this update is responding to player feedback on a range of different concerns.
Players noted the following issues:
- Difficulties getting in contact with staff
- Difficulty finding the right TeamSpeak channel to be in
- Difficulty finding the community-created guides, or unaware that they even existed
- Unaware of perks received for donating
- 'Shit' side mission rewards
- 'Shit' jets
- Enemy jets spawning too frequently
- Unaware of correct pad numbers
Most of these have been addressed in this update, with the exception of the friendly and enemy jet spawns, which need further observation and testing.
Contacting Staff
A lot of players use the main group chat to report issues. However, staff are not always ingame or in the group chat and, if they are, messages are easily missed.
To fix this, we have introduced a simple chat command !admin, that allows players to notify staff on Discord and ingame more effectively. Simply type !admin into any chat channel and the menu will appear. You can submit one issue every 5 minutes. Abuse will see you blacklisted from using it and possible disciplinary action.
More information on how to contact staff can be found by typing !help in any chat channel.
TeamSpeak, guides, donations
To help players better find the right channels on TeamSpeak, some ingame mentions of the TS have become clickable links that automatically connect you to the correct channel. The following will automatically connect you to the Pilot's channel for whatever map you're on.
Links and information about guides, donations and more can be found in a new screen that can be accessed via the [Home] menu, or using the chat command !help. Some of this info has also been included in the TS channel descriptions of some popular channels.
Other methods of making TS easier to navigate for new players are also in the works.
Side Rewards
For a while now, we've heard a number of complaints about the quality of rewards given for successfully completing side missions. As a result, we've decided to try a different way of determining what reward to give.
All side missions have now been assigned a difficulty rating from 1-3. This will determine what type of reward players will receive for completing the mission. More difficult missions, like Rescue POW and Secure Caches, have the highest rating and offer more powerful vehicles as a reward (mostly gunships/heavily armed aircraft). The second highest tier includes APCs and less-powerful armed helicopters. The lowest tier gives the least powerful and still pretty disappointing rewards. However, the missions in this tier are supposed to be quite a bit easier than the others.
Instead of having one large pool of rewards for all missions, this divides the rewards into three smaller pools based on difficulty.
Hopefully this makes completing side missions a more rewarding experience, while easing some of the frustrations you've expressed with the previous system. If not, we'll have to consider some of the more complex solutions that have been suggested.

Server has been updated to 1.94 (Arma changelog) and changes have been made to support the new Contact DLC. This includes adding the new Livonia map to the rotation on our second Tanoa/Malden server.
Map voting has been enabled on our second server. Players can use #vote missions to vote for bringing up the mission selection screen. 65% of players must vote for it before it will work.
Included in this update is Quik's new Active Protection System for armoured vehicles. This applies to both enemy AI and player vehicles.
So long as there is a commander in the vehicle (player or AI), the system protects the vehicle from incoming missiles.
There are 5 tiers of vehicle protection, Strider and Nyx having the the lowest level, MBTs having the highest. Each tier has different ammo count, reload time, and chance of failure. The blind spot on normal vehicles is the rear of the vehicle, for tanks, it is the rear of the main turret.
Fixes and addition of new vehicles will come in over the next week.

The Tanoa server is currently running the new map, so you can't connect unless you own the map/DLC.
The Altis server is waiting for an issue with the updater to be fixed. Once it is updated, you can join it with or without the DLC.

What are you using the 3+ vehicles for, FOB setup?

This update introduces a few small changes and provides a much needed fix for the Customise Inventory menu.
Quik's next major update is expected closer to the release of the Contact DLC.

using a debug is 10 times better and having the mission all laid out before you start. This is just my experience with 1000s of hours mission making.
What exactly is "a debug"?

You repeated some things a few times (not including conclusion, each paragraph should be a new topic), no in-text referencing as mentioned above, some spelling and grammar mistakes, but seems like decent research and use of sources.
80% max I think, depending on how strict your teacher is.
Also, you shouldn't link Wikipedia, use the citation in Wikipedia as the reference

This update introduces the new Role Selection system that Quik has been working on.
This eliminates the need for the regular Arma 3 role selection lobby and allows players to change roles much easier.
When joining the server, you will skip the lobby and spawn as a standard Rifleman. From here, you can select a role from the menu.
Available slots for most roles increase when more players join.
As this is an experimental build, you are encouraged to report any issues to an I&A staff member (Teamspeak, Discord, Forum message) or on the bug tracker.
There will be more updates over the coming weeks to address some of the requests posted on the forums.

AI Difficulty and loss of new players
in Suggestions
Posted · Report reply
The jet spawns need to be checked and likely adjusted. Some people have been complaining for a while that there's way too many spawning, but I haven't really experienced that myself yet (outside of defends).
Weird. Usually there is red smoke before the jet even begins the bombing run. If not, it could be Zeus controlled, either way it shouldn't be bombing the same thing that many times.
If friendlies use heavy AT launchers like the enemy, the effect is the same. They both have active protection as well now, so there shouldn't be that much of an advantage for the enemy tanks.
The snipers are meant to be a challenge, they should be a priority target before landing a full heli near them...
The only thing related to difficulty that has been changed in recent months, is the defends, which are now harder. Jets have been the same, and apparently bad for a while. Overall AI difficulty has been the same for 6+ months. I don't know how standard AOs and missions can be perceived as suddenly more difficult?
