1. no anti vehicle weaponry of any sort, you NEED to use a vehicle to do anything against them Well stuff, Forgot heavy machine gun.
2. no spawn protection Working on a sulution for this
3. islands are boring variations of grassy hills, see last post We make the maps so bases can be built easily.
4. very odd vehicle choice mixing gravity cats stuff with other vehicles I don't really see the problem, but okay.
5. admins have been afk the entire time i was on Me and Dion were, sorry. And AdinX has been on almost the whole time.
6. no day night cycle, makes it a very boring and bright setting I'm going to get skylands edit that makes it less bright
7. general quality of the server goers, not that you can change much of that This is a big thing that prevents us from doing cool stuff. People being idiots.
you barely improved from the last hosting besides better weapons and a few new vehicles
as a fairly accurate comparison, your servers hostings are basically like cod.
all you get is map changes and weapon roster updates.
you dont change a lot of severe problems.

1. Anti Air Puma
2. Don't be a scrub, you spawn with a pistol, use it
3. You can make your own island if it's so dull. The point is not "ogm is so prety I luv da gras an sno <33
4. they all fit perfectly well together, what vehicles did you have in mind? They all look to be a similar style of modeling, and even then, it's not like he's combining the standard tank with gravity cat's weaponry
5. Excuse us for having personal needs? Allow me to cater to your every whim and wish now master.
6. There IS a day night cycle, it's just set to 10800 miliseconds, which turned into minutes is 180 minutes, aka 3 hours, so 3 hours of day AND night.
7. Um, you're not too great yourself. It's a TDM, what do you expect?

2. Don't be a scrub, you spawn with a pistol, use it nothing stopping you from getting spawnkilled by bmps or high powered rifles
3. You can make your own island if it's so dull. The point is not "ogm is so prety I luv da gras an sno <33 bs excuse
4. they all fit perfectly well together, what vehicles did you have in mind? They all look to be a similar style of modeling, and even then, it's not like he's combining the standard tank with gravity cat's weaponry at least you're reasonable here, i just feel that gravity cats helicopters are preferable over the HCS
5. Excuse us for having personal needs? Allow me to cater to your every whim and wish now master. i expect admins to administrate
6. There IS a day night cycle, it's just set to 10800 miliseconds, which turned into minutes is 180 minutes, aka 3 hours, so 3 hours of day AND night. maybe a bit exaggerated, might want to tone down the time. could not visibly see it changing, with that time its expected not to
7. Um, you're not too great yourself. It's a TDM, what do you expect? first response is BS, im trying to help the server here. second, its actually a fortwars. some things should be expected.

@glass, thanks for your responses, glad you're working on stuff, i can help with anything if you need it.
the last bits of my previous post may be a bit harsh but i still feel they stand a bit true.

1. There is not a single hand-held weapon, in real life, designed to take down a plane. You will never. EVER. meet a soldier, who has claimed to have taken a plane out of the sky. Using a ground-to-air missile. Those weapons are impractical. You're talking about a seeking-rocket of some form or another on the server. Do you have any idea how much trouble your getting into with that? People would VCE spam the stuff out of that and then nobody would move an INCH from the spawns.
2. If I can fend off 5 people all with shotguns and ARs, you can fight off one guy with a sniper rifle. Crouch, jump, hide, or even go to a different spawn. There are 6.
3. bs response. What would you like? Palm trees on the 16x wide coasts? Pine trees crowding up the 64x64 space on the PUBLIC island?
4. Speaking personally, I wasn't aware gravity cat released helicopters at all. Knowing his style, I doubt it would fit any better over the HCS.
5. You expect admins to give up our personal lives i.e. I should skip dinner with family, not worry about personal hygiene and I shouldn't have taken care of my dog. Nice. We do administrate. I've spent more than half the time on the server clearing spam, watching chat, and keeping people in line, believe me, the server is moderated, forgive me if for half an hour nobody is there to answer "WHERE DO I FIND THESE MODS?!!!"
6. The time is meant to allow different users different opportunities. If you don't like building at night, build during the day and fight at night. If the timescale was, say, 30 minutes, it would be much harder to keep track of lighting up your base, keeping track of your player light, switching your look for the right time, etc. It's all preference.
7. You must think you're the best of the best for that, huh. A fortwars classifies as a TDM, especially since the server has a /team mod. What your expecting isn't possible. We don't build the bases, and we aren't in charge of EVERY island. There are people, right now, making ships and personal islands and decorating them as they see fit. If you want a nice little pine tree, make one. Personally, I don't want trees on my island. They restrict vehicle traffic and the view around my base, making it harder to defend.
