FEEDBACK & CHANGELOG: Playtest of 15th_Domination_RHS

[Capt (Ret) Zahj]

Please reply to this post with your feedback based on your experiences while playing the 15th MEU Domination test server.

A GUIDE TO DOMINATION CAN BE FOUND HERE

Changelog: last updated 24FEB2023

• Ranked mode has been enabled. Weapons and equipment available to players will be based on their rank. 
• Changed air taxi from RHS_UH60M2 to RHS_UH1Y_UNARMED_d 
• Added all scopes to Private rank 
• Added "rhs_weap_m27iar", "rhs_weap_m27iar_grip", "rhs_weap_m27iar_grip2" and "rhs_weap_m27iar_grip3" to Private rank
• Disabled gear from RHS SAF, GREF, and AFRF, from being found in the Virtual Arsenal

 

Reverted some changes. Removed Rank mode and restricted the Virtual Arsenal as noted above.

NOTES:

The change from non ranked, to Ranked Mode is being done to gage player interest and is not necessarily going to be a permeant change. A limit to available items via the arsenal WILL be in the final version of Domination (as well as to a future version of Liberation). This initial test of Ranked Mode is the initial test of the more limited arsenal. Removing non-NATO and non-modern clothing/uniform options is a WIP.

I think the arsenal switched over to the BI Arsenal instead of ACE arsenal at the two crates on base. Also the M27 isn't available at said crates only the M16A4. The scopes also doesn't appear on the arsenal.

Yikes. That was unintended. I will push to investigate the cause of that during his upcoming week and see what can be done to revert it. Changing things over to Ranked mode affects a LOT of stuff and this is one of those that I wasn't aware of. Thank you for the report!

In addition to the previous, I would just like to add something in terms of play. If I join and Im the only one on there I should have access to AT and weapons that can give me a fighting chance at the least. Right now I can not get ANY kind of AT to go up against the enemies overwhelming use of armor and heavy weapons. No matter what changes are made it should always be playable by a single person, IMO. There is currently no AT options for a E4, no backpack larger then a Eagle, and no access to munitions apparently. Also, where did the 152 clackers go? Everything needs to be on timer currently. Its just too much restriction.

[Capt (Ret) Zahj]

Reverted some changes. See notes made in top post.

Platoon Corpsman, Squad Corpsman  only allowed to load the M16A4, with no optics, or AT?

Only selected Vests, and ammo?

Please edit that to allow.

Arensal saved loadouts, are not loading.

I have reslotted, still not letting me load any other weapons.

When the last changes were reverted, we forgot to also change the corresponding setting on the backend database. This cause some changes to not revert properly. This has been fixed.

[SSgt J. Jefferies]

Can't teleport to carrier. No Options in the teleport page, from MHQ or Base.

Certain roles can. Some can't. FTLs can.

[SSgt J. Jefferies]

Have armor to be spawned in, with a respawn timer. 

ACV Maybe? Not earned by the Objs, just armor so if someone wants to spawn armor they can use it for example Gator for a training.
