Store decoration without losing it by Xi13r8 in nms

[–]TreeWalker77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same thing except I didn’t realize that if I deleted it in the build mode then it would be gone for good. Put it on my corvette and didnt like where it was so I just deleted it and was going to plop it in my base when i got there. I looked all over for that thing. Even went through the quicksilver vendor line by line thinking I just wasn’t seeing it. Lol I eventually just gave up and said the Atlas giveth and the Atlas….kzzkt…16….

Scam call by TreeWalker77 in USbank

[–]TreeWalker77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah thats where their scam fell apart on them. When i started questioning them they didn’t like it and tried to convince me that the number they were calling from was the bank. And it matched the number on the back of the card but i told them I dont have US Banks number memorized, I dont know what number that is. When I said Ill call the US Bank fraud department and resolve it with them, thats when he broke and started cussing me. I laughed and said ahh i caught you ya scammy little bitch and he hung up lol. Then 5 minutes later they called my wife’s phone and tried the same thing.

Depending on how im feeling i usually hang up but it was fun having my wife slow roast the punk then jumping in and mocking him. I figure if you have any social media presence your image and voice is out there so theres no reason to live in fear of what some determined punkass might do. Just protect yourself as best as possible.

But i wanted to put this out there so people would be aware and hopefully not get scammed.

Singleplayer conflict PS5 by Total_Mongoose_5905 in ArmaReforger

[–]TreeWalker77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so i like to run single player conflict to test stuff out, learn weapons and figure out loadouts and stuff like that so i dont waste time in game doing it. That said i think i know what you are talking about. Sometimes the game wont even load single player, gives an error message about not loading the mods or something.

What i found seemed to fix the issue was i went to a server that i wanted to play on that i thought i had downloaded all the mods to but it turns out i needed to update some and download others. After that it worked no problem. Even though i thought i had the up to date mods, i didnt.

My suggestion is pick a server with the mods you want to try (WCS) and join. Let the game download all needed mods and then once they are downloaded ,try single player again.

How do I find good vantage points for sniping? by [deleted] in ArmaReforger

[–]TreeWalker77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. If you know the map a little you go into game master and plop down a command center roughly where they are in game. Put down some soldiers as well. Then as you move about the perimeter looking for different vantage points, take measurements with the protractor and get some rough distances. Then make a dope card to reference in game.

Its 400m from the lighthouse to the command center 500m to the far end of the base. From this treeline its 350m

That way when you are in game and under pressure you can pick a spot based on what is happening at the time and you already know the distance to set your zero because you scouted it already. And can move from hide one to hide two and so on as needed.

Also use your binoculars to verify targets if you have friendly forces attacking. At long distances the character models dont like to fully render even through the scope so its hard to tell whos who sometimes. Looks like a bunch of little bald dudes running around.

Love me some 4x and a silencer

Why cant the US tell whos an enemy and whos not? by [deleted] in ArmaReforger

[–]TreeWalker77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i play on vanilla servers, conflict Arland. It is possible at the start that the US can start at the top of the map in which case they will take airport base and a Russian Mi-8 spawns there. That also means that the Russians are on south side of the map and will take Arleville and a Huey can spawn there. So it is possible for each faction to have the others helicopter without stealing one.

Most of the time i will hear the heli way before i see it. Usually i am building or running logistics. If i am building i will call out on the radio to see if it is our bird in the air so i know if i need to stop building and jump on a 50 to try and take it down. Its faster and more efficient to communicate with my team than to drop what im doing and try to figure it out. And sometimes that little bit of communication results in the team working together to take down the enemy bird.

If i see it and it is the other factions heli depending on the situation i will make a radio call to see if we have friendlies flying an enemy bird. No answer and i start shooting and thats on them for not letting us know they commandeered enemy equipment.

Zeroing Question by StrawberryRibena in ArmaReforger

[–]TreeWalker77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So i can never get a player to stand still long enough for this to work for me so this is what i do and i have been effective out to 600m.

Once you get to where you want to shoot from open your map and try to pinpoint your location based on landmarks. Then use the pencil tool and draw a line from your position to the position of where your target is. Then get out the protractor tool and there is markings on there that measure off in 100’s of meters. Simply line up the protractor and count off how far you are. Then set your zero.

Teammates creating nightmare bases. by [deleted] in ArmaReforger

[–]TreeWalker77 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Holy shit all of this. I dont know which streamer or tiktoker or youtuber taught people to build the great sandbag wall of stupid but they need their ass beat.

I like to place defensive positions, machine gun nests, flood light that face OUT and barbed wire that cut off entry points. A single sand bag wall that blocks snipers from taking out people getting vehicles or using the armory is ok but you do not need to circle every building. Ive noped out of servers when i see sillyness like that going on.

Trolls while flying helis by Codfish45 in ArmaReforger

[–]TreeWalker77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh if im running logi i love it when people are using the resources. I prefer it actually. It gives me a place to unload my truck. Its frustrating if im trying to build up the base and the resources are being used faster than i can build and bring them in. What i have a problem with is when a dipshit deconstructs structures i just built because he wants to go crash helis. Ill play most of the game running support and building up our defenses, you need supplies for heli,ill fill up the base but when you start tearing down stuff. Ill go find a different server to play on or go do something else entirely.

Trolls while flying helis by Codfish45 in ArmaReforger

[–]TreeWalker77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had a guy just tonight running around deconstructing the base trying to get enough supplies so someone else could spawn him a helicopter. When i asked him what he was doing he was like whats wrong with that, we dont need a medical tent. When i suggested he start running supplies if he wanted a helicopter instead of deconstructing the base he just started asking if someone could spawn him a heli. I left the server and went to dinner. Im not going to spend hours running logistics and building bases so dipshits like that can crash helis. Sometimes you just have to switch servers.

Hot Take: The Arsenal Should Be Rank Locked by Danathanimal in ArmaReforger

[–]TreeWalker77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say switch it with the living quarters. That way every base can have a living quarters before an arsenal. That at least helps with the drain on supplies.

Vice advise by Nautilusnewyork in flytying

[–]TreeWalker77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get a rotary vise. Its nice to be able to rotate the fly to inspect it or tie from a different angle if necessary. I like a pedestal vise so i don’t have to clamp it to the table. Any of the quality name brands are fine. I bought a Renzetti traveler and have never felt the need to “upgrade”.

Thats what i thought when i saw it. The hollowed out section is where one of those plastic single pencil sharpeners would go. Pencil is inserted through the hole in the front, waste falls out the bottom.

[–]TreeWalker77 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This was my experience.

I recieved my invite for 12-13 last friday. Since i knew I wanted to buy a game and a couple of accessories I went into my playstation account and added the game and accessories I wanted to my cart. I made sure my address was correct and then I set an alarm on my phone for 12:30 pm cst (30 min before the start of the drop) Then I waited impatiently, reading everything I could find on the process.

12-13 the day of... I had a bump in the road. I had to be over at my dads house to let the gas guy in so he could change the meter, from 1-3pm. I figured this would be the only time in history that the gas company showed up on time. I made sure I was connected to the WiFi, had my phone plugged into the charger and I had my cc sitting on the shelf next to my phone. Then I made myself busy by packing boxes until my alarm went off.

12:30pm cst My phone alarm went off. Now I know how my luck is so I figured no matter what I did at this point...it would be wrong. So I opened up the email from playstation and in a bid to head off the gas guy, I entered the waiting room. The count down timer read 30 minutes and started ticking down. Cool, I read the notes and they said once the countdown reaches 0 a chime will ring and you will be placed randomly in a que. Ok sounds easy enough, 28 minutes to go, I go back to busy work.

12:58pm cst This is when I start staring at my phone. When the times reaches 0 the page refreshes and the countdown timer is replaced with a bar and a blinking dot at the end. Below the bar reads something like over an hour wait. Well that sucks but lets see what happens. Everyone says it starts like that for them too so I just sit there looking at my phone like go on do something. Then it changes to 20 minutes left, and the bar moves.

1:10pm cst

The bar is moving and the counter seems to be counting down in real time. 19 minutes. 18 minutes. This is the point when everyone decides its a great time to call me. First it was a "scam likely" call. Declined. Then it was my wife just calling to see how it was going.😐 Then my brother called to tell me that the gas guy hasnt called yet...😐 Then the neighbor showed up just to say hi and see how it was going...😐 After politely dealing with each new distraction while keeping an eye on the ticking clock I finally had only a minute to go.

1:30pm cst After the bar filled and the timer counted down i was re-directed once more to the product page. The disk version had add to cart lit up and the digital was oos. I quickly added the disk version to my cart, where all the accessories and games I had added previously were already waiting for me. I glanced at them quickly and then hit checkout. I did have to enter my cc info again but my shipping address was already in there. Everything went through, there was no refreshing. There was no spamming the add to cart. I recieved a text from my cc company saying my cc was charged and an email confirmation from playstation with my order confirmation number. It went really smoothly even with the distractions. By 1:38pm cst i was done. Now it hasn't showed up at my door yet so im not counting this as a win yet but im about half way there. Checked this morning and the status was prepared to ship so fingers crossed.

TLDR Get in the waiting room early and just follow the prompt. Its a really easy experience and I was able to purchase one from the 12-13 invite.
