Title: Boot Camp
Post by: BrotherTobious on July 04, 2010, 07:09:21 PM
We have a few new members who are still new to this game and would like a bit more one on one, smaller group help.

So if you would like this just put your name below and I will organise it.  The days I was thinking were Sunday and Tuesday.

I will be on the server from 19:15 to 19:45 I would like just guys that need a bit more of a run through. Then at 19:45 everyone on for more bad guy killing.

So if you put your name down I will run one if not I wont.

Great idea Bro Toby.

I defintiely recommend a slow pace pick up, the game is a bugger to learn in the first few hours, so all of you new guys should jump on this offer asap.


(can I recommend additional help for Lib, OB and Sulky? They could all do with the help ;) )

I'm pretty sure there's nobody who can help us, except maybe the Dignitas Clinic.

Count me in. OA just dropped through my letterbox. If I can get on the server at that time is a different matter. I'll give it my best shot. ( See what I did there!)

Rory no problem mate, if you can try and be on TS and Arma II by 7:15 on Tuesday that will give us about 30 mins before the others arrive.

Would love to attend but my Sun/Tues/Thurs raiding routine seems to clash somewhat severely with all Arma plans. :sad:

I'll keep trying to spot some of you online on the other nights.

I'm back from my trip to the netherlands, and I've been working my way through the showcases and am really enjoying the game so far.  The showcases do cover a lot of the basics, but it'd be nice to hear some tips'n tricks from some of the people that have been playing the game for a while.  Looking forward to joining you guys on Sunday. :yahoo:

Post by: Justin Tolerable on November 09, 2014, 04:45:21 PM
Woo! I may well do that :) Working most of today, so will jump on if I can. My daughter's bed time is 7:30 though so it might be a little haphazard...

This game is sat in my steam list - I'd love to play it but it's a bit much for a newcomer. Sounds like I just missed the boat, but if a boot campy thing happens again I'm totally in

Post by: smilodon on March 11, 2015, 10:06:27 PM
Boot camps can be done anytime someone wants to try Arma and there's someone about to help. Sundays is Arma night and we often get together on a Wednesday but that's not official. Sunday kick off is 8pm so maybe see if someone can jump on half an hour before to sort you out?

The missions can be a bit tough as we do like to be 'challenged" The Arma AI is particularly punishing so we play a very team centric game, but that's what makes it fun.

Awesome! I'm off adventuring this Sunday unfortunately but if you'd like to give them a shout next sunday I'd be more than grateful!

Gimme a time and date and I'll be up for joining in on a boot camp, when you do Froge. Either PM me or just post here, and I'll be there! I do love the look and 'simness' of ARMA, but like Froge said, it is pretty tough for a newcomer.

Title: Boot Camp
Post by: Sconn on March 18, 2015, 05:43:45 PM
Nice one guys, I'm +2 GMT so I'd guess you're on about 8-9GMT? I'll play a bit of ESO while you all catch up, and jump on TS. We can take it from there if you like.
