I can vouch for that. yesitdoes

Think of it this way. This will improve comms because you will be forced to be as specific as possible, instead of just saying "I'm behind that rock to the left, don't shoot me." Use some creativity. It's working on getting fixed and will come out with the next update. Until then, be creative, better your comms, and stop whining.

Or do what MC did and wear bright red hats:

Patience is a virtue. Something few people seem to possess. It will be fixed when it gets fixed. Stop whining. Be creative and figure out a way to play without relying so much on hexes.

Psst. Ignorant greedy person. https://trello.com/b/3OuZI2oG/arma-3-altis-life ITSBEINGFIXED.

This has gone on long enough. Locking this.

I don't know.

? I don't know what you mean.

Don't forget:

Yea, this happens once or twice a server restart. Then there's the days when this happens with only one medic online and everyone's pissed. NOT TO MENTION, at least half of these people dead are being camped by the people who killed them and won't let us revive them. The people who are being camped are pissed because "WHY AREN'T YOU DOING ANYTHING MEDIC? YOU'RE JUST STANDING AROUND"

"You can't demand a service while simultaneously degrading those who provide it for you."

The Epi-Pens are being put in as a compromise. If you don't like the compromise, we don't need to put them in. Problem is, people will always something better without regards to another. The Epi-Pens are being put in because people wanted defibs. Defibs are not being put in because we, as a staff, decided it would be detrimental to R&R. But because of the outcry, we came up with a solution because the community didn't want to always rely on medics.

....you know it's bad when someone has actually done this

I'll do what I can to answer your question: Tow hooks and slings DO get removed if the vehicle is stored or it explodes. (found that out the hard way R.I.P 200k) I do not know if they get removed via a SOFT restart, but I would assume yes. (Poseidon or Djwolf will be able to answer that more thoroughly) You cannot tow vehicles as a civ, but you can sling them. The M900 can sling a quadbike at most, Orcas can sling SUVs, Offroads, and other smaller cars, Hellcats can sling same as orcas. The bigger helis such as Mohawk, Huron, and Tarus can sling almost everything else, with exceptions. Hurons can sling Hemmt transports, but not the hemmt boxes. I don't think hemmt boxes can be slung. As for variations, I'm not sure, never tested it. Others may be able to answer your questions better or correct me if I'm wrong. But that's the extent of my knowledge.

We understand how frustrating it can be to wait. We understand you might be angry at us, but in reality, you're angry at yourself. While you lay there dead, you might be missing out on some action, you might lose a load out. While you lay there dead, you continuously berate yourself on how you got in that position. Someone beat you to it. Someone won that fight. Get used to it. It happens. You pester us with ETAs because you want to get revenge. Maybe you're just an impatient person who doesn't want to wait around. You continuously think about what you could have done differently so that you came out on top. Don't take your impatient anger out on the medics who are trying to get there as soon as possible; who are trying to do their job. If we were ignoring you, we wouldn't come and revive you. It's not a pick and choose job. We will get to everyone in their time. Each call is unique, and some take longer than others. However, if a medic is denying you services improperly, you need to message one of us privately, not accuse us all for the actions of one.

We've had this conversation in the medic forums a few weeks ago about whether or not we have to turn on sidechat or not. So to make it clear, I'll just reiterate what I said. Side chat is NOT required for medics. We are not required to send an ETA. It is a courtesy to let people know you're coming. Just because you don't give them an ETA, doesn't mean that you're not coming. I hardly ever send an ETA because I'm flying 5-10m above the ground going 350kph and I don't want to crash. I will get to them as quickly as possible and people need to have the common sense to know that. Yes, it's nice to let people know you're coming, but you are not obligated to send it. Most of the time it just pisses me off when people continuously bug me over side chat and/or private message. Oftentimes I'll just type in sidechat "OMW" or "Soon" or "Eventually". I hardly ever give time in minutes because if I'm going to a call, I don't know what's going to happen and I might be held up. I don't want someone expecting me to be there in 2 minutes when it turns out to be 5 or 6 because someone was keeping me from doing my job. In addition, most, not all, will start bitching at medics for being slow over side chat. In all honesty, it pisses me off and oftentimes makes me not want to go to them. But I still do and as fast as possible. Also, when we give ETAs, it lets your killer know we are coming and how long they should wait around, only when we get there to have them tell us not to revive you. It also broadcasts to the entire server that someone has died and a medic is responding to you. People oftentimes take advantage of this. Patience is a virtue, one only a few seem to possess. We will ALWAYS do our job when we are on-duty. There are times when we CAN'T do our jobs and examples of this are as follows: Someone has threatened our lives and ordered us not to revive you, we have NLR so we can't respond to your area, or you are denied services as is outlined in Chapter 2 of the R&R Handbook. Sometimes, medics will send you a text to let you know we're coming so that we don't broadcast it to the world. We do hate it when people continuously spam ETA in sidechat, but if you do it once and are respectful about it, we might respond. It's up to the individual medic about whether or not they want to give an ETA. Just be patient, and we will get to you when we can.
