AA3 Deploy Client and Website Changes « Result #9 on Sept 22, 2009, 5:20pm »
We are pleased to announce the release of exciting new features available through the Account Management Website (AMW) and the Deploy Client. These features will allow you instant access to important information and tools to help you and your team plan each mission.
Unprecedented in America's Army, the tools offered on AMW allow you to see maps in a whole new way and gain critical insight that will enhance your team's ability to dominate each challenge increasing your chances for success. Additionally, player personnel jacket information is now conveniently available directly from the Deploy Client which affords you valuable Intel about your opponents.
Here's a summary of some of these great new features: Leaderboards
The all new leaderboards display the top players in a wide variety of categories. Learn who the best of the best are with stats such as Highest Match Score, Accuracy, Objectives Completed and a whole lot more.
You can also filter this information to see just the lists you desire or select a specific Soldier. Clicking on a Soldier's name will call up that player's personnel jacket allowing you to assess his or her strengths or weaknesses.
AMW: Combat Maps
If you've ever looked at an atlas population map, then Combat Maps will be simple to understand. Simply put, Combat Maps display a small colored dot in the exact position where a player has been eliminated. The more densely colored an area of the map, the more players have been eliminated in that area.
Use this information to learn where most of the action occurs on a specific map - - - which routes are most favorable and which tend to offer the most resistance. Identify where the best places are to set up an ambush and when to make sure you move carefully under cover.
Studying these maps will allow you the best chance of successfully completing your mission by helping you to better understand the dynamics of each map. This brings us to the next feature... AMW: Battle Planner
Acting much like a whiteboard, the new Battle Planner allows you to draw directly on top down overview images of AA3 maps. Gone is the confusion of trying to tell a teammate to go to a particular corner of a specific building. With Battle Planner, you can draw the route right on the map for your teammate to see and execute.
Simply by clicking points onto the map overview you can draw routes for up to three different fire teams (Alpha, Bravo and Charlie). Each team's route appears in a different color. If you make a mistake, it's simple to undo the last point in your route, or just clear the routes and start over.
But what good is your plan if your teammates cannot see it? Battle Planner handles this too by allowing you to email the plan to your squad. You can choose to type in each player's email address manually or, even easier, select the player names from your MyAA3 buddy list.
Deploy Client: Personnel Jacket
Every Soldier's statistics are right there at your fingertips. Access by the top most of the three gold buttons on Deploy (the one that looks like a graph) you'll have your own detailed stats, as well as every other America's Army player's stats. At the click of a button, you can review things like: • Soldier Advancement • Training History • Mission History • Achievements • Accuracy & Performance Just type in your Soldier name, or the name of a player you'd like to learn more about and these comprehensive stats are instantly available to you. Never enter battle again without knowing who you're up against!
Deploy Client: Server Browser
Last but by no means not least is the all new Deploy Server Browser. This powerful tool allows you to see all AA3 servers available to you but it doesn't stop there. You can also filter your last with some handy drop down windows to find a server you like. Filter for things like Map Name, Player Count, Mission Type, and a whole lot more.
Clicking the middle of the three gold buttons (the one that looks like a globe) returns a pop up window with a complete list of all AA3 servers. Click anywhere along the row on a server reveals another pop up with every detail about that server. Its name, mission, game type, number of players, who those players are, and much more.
Clicking on a player's name will call up yet another pop up with all the statistics for that player. You can even click on several players' names to review all their stats at the same time.
Once you decide which server you'd like to join, simply click on the server and then click the Join Server button. As long as you have your game client user name and password saved and set to automatically log in, you'll be in the action in no time.
So fire up the all new Deploy Client and head over to AMW to check out all the terrific new AA3 features that are "Powered by Pragmatic" and get the edge you'll need to ramp up your squad's effectiveness to the next level!

Update: I believe if the TS bill is not paid by next week It will expire. If we cannot raise enough money I will let the hosted TS expire and move it back here to POT NOC in an attempt to reduce costs.

I'm sorry we haven't had a {PoT} party in a long time with the release of 3.0 and this summer being very busy. I just haven't felt like playing AA much.

Hevy, as always, you've done a great job. You've been there to assist people with any problems that may arise, whether they were related to our (your) server of some other.
I don't know how long I've been a part of this clan, but I've definitely made some friends, even if I never get on TS and can't remember what the hell your real names are.
I hope that folks will try their best to make some donations. Hell, even if someone came up with $5 or $10, at least its an effort. Even those that aren't playing - its not as if you NEVER played. Take one for the team and pony up some loose change.
I'm looking forward to some game time with my clanmates.
Maybe this is directed towards Tea, but how about we try to do a PoT party every now and then? Even if we only try to arrange it ever 2 weeks or so, it doesn't matter if people can't make it. hell, right now there's only a dozen or so of us that play (whether its version 2 or 3). Guess its like we have nothing to lose by trying.
Keep up the good work - to the best of your ability - Hevy!

4th Year State Of The Clan Address « Result #24 on Aug 25, 2009, 9:25pm »
Well first let me start by saying. "Thank you for your support." We have reached a milestone in not only the AA gaming community but the entire online gaming community. Our clan is now been together for 4 Years. Let me repeat that last statement. We have been together for FOUR YEARS.
Over the last four years alot has changed in not only the AA gane but the overall playerbase. We have been through the "good 'Ol days" 2.3 The bad days 2.4 and the new current 3.0
Members have come and gone, some that left still lurk in the cold dark corridors. Still a few have been around since the beginning. We have seen the birth of new future recruits (Yay COMMO!) We have also seen the untimely demise of our in game and real life friends.
Through all of this we have managed to stick together and still prevail.
A crossroads of sorts has now fractured the once cohesive playerbase and also effects us. 2.8.5 or 3? Some are going to the new, some are staying on the old.
We are trying to accomodate both version.
Our 2.8.5 servers are both up and running fine. The Overflow is honor bearing and the Hollywood remains modded. Both servers should be listed in-game and be accessable via IP. If your not an admin on the server let me know.
Our current status on our 3 server remains the same. It's up, It's honor bearing. It is accessable via IP, however it's still not listing correctly. I've spent quite a few hrs trying to resolve this as well as several emails that remain unanswered. There are still several things I want to try including a new router.This will take some time and since game documentation is partically non-existant it's an uphill battle. I will continue to work on resolving this problem and will keep you informed as progress develops.
The suggestion has been made we move back to another hosted server for 3. I am not against this, however I will note the current donation levels or rather lack thereof does not support this. I have carried the difference on short donations since the clans inception. I will continue to do this to the best of my ability. I cannot however Increase this burdon further without your help.
Where we go from here is up to you. I would like to be able to offer both versions for the forseeable future. This however requires commitment from our members. Several members will be playing 2.8.5 only due to hardware restrictions, I would ask the the members that upgrade to 3 also keep 2.8.5 to play with others. I myself prefer 2.8.5 (Cant see shit in 3) But I will play 3.
We need to stick together, irreguardless of what version you play, or even if your not playing, get on TS. Make a post with date and times to schedule a time for a match on a particular version. With summer winding down more members will appear out of the woodwork. Even if your not playing make some forums posts, let us know your still alive and kicking.
The ball is in your court, our continued survival as a clan depends on not only your continued and hopefully increasing financial support but your participation as well. We have outlived and outgrown most other clans. Let us continue and grow the family we started together 4 years ago. I look forward to many more years of enjoyment will you all.
Thanks for listening to my rant
Hevy
P.S. Your commanets and suggestion are as always, welcome

Looks like we are on track for another 'record' low donation. I don't know what the problem is but apparently noone cares either. It's just flat wrong to be a member in this clan and rely on Hevy to carry the financial load. He's too polite to get nasty about it but geez people, give something!
