Arma 3 Units - Closed Beta Feedback

Recommended Posts

If I select "manage applications via Arma 3 Units" I am force to enter an email adress where the applications are send to. Is this behaviour wanted?

 

I'd rather see some sort of post box for owners of a unit.

Just some UX feedback;

 

The validation for all 3 tabs in realtime when editing, before enabling you to click the Save button. Trouble is if there is an error on the tab you aren't editing you have no idea that's the problem. All you see is a cross over the send button preventing you from pressing, but no info about why. It was only by chance when I was clicking through the tabs did I see a red box around one of the fields at the bottom that was the blocker.

It would be nice if when servers cannot be reached it displays a message saying 'offline' or 'on standby' as servers that are run for weekly operations are not kept on all the time.

Also the ability to name the server would be nice, e.g.

 

'Public Server:

 

3CB Operation Ursus v13
Map: Reshmaan
Players: 3/106
Version: 
Dedicated: 
Address: '
 
'Private Server:
 
Offline 
Map: N/A
Players: 0/106
Version: 
Dedicated: 
Address: '
 
so if it has made a connection with the server at least once the status goes from 'Offline' to 'On standby'.

 

 

Any news on being able to name servers ?

Not sure if this has already been said, didn't read the whole thread :p

 

The left and right arrows of the media section are drawn over the bottom left and right, when you try and click watch on youtube, or change the quality etc it switches to the next video or image in queue.

Arrows have been temporarily disabled, we'll do a proper fix tomorrow. Thanks!

It's probably not the most elegant implementation at the moment, but this entire application/recruitment system will be changed in the future with the joining of units via Bohemia Accounts. For the mean time, we think this is the most 'flexible' solution for most users.

We'll need to look into this. Thanks!

We'll still need to look into this as well, but it's a bit lower on our priority list at the moment. I can see how it might be useful though. Thanks!

A short question, is the Units page open for public now? I am not asked to enter a passwort anymore.

Yes it has been opened up, it's now an 'open beta'  if you will  ;) (we'll update the original post in this thread tomorrow)

There is some FOUT shown before the angular does its parsing in the filters container. Might be worth adding ng-cloak to it. :)

Request/Suggestion
 

I would like the 'Search by Name' field to be able to search by both fields of 'Unit Name' as well as the 'Unit Clan Tag'

 

Step to reproduce

 

Visit URL: http://units.arma3.com

 Search abbreviated name (e.g. Clan TAG) within the Search Field labelled 'Search by Name'

 

 

Result: Nothing found (as unless the unit has the Unit Clan Tag within the 'Unit Name' nothing shows.

Example search of failure
 Search by Name: 16AA

 

 Search fails (finds nothing) as the Unit Name is listed under 'Unit Name: as: 16 Air Assault Brigade

 

 If the Clan Tag was included as an 'or' then it would have found the units listed with '16AA'

 

My current workaround is to include the TAG into the 'Unit Name' like so '16 Air Assault Brigade (16AA)'

This however makes the ticker-bar within the Unit page a little unpleasant due to the Unit name (scrolling on the ticker/header-bar now showing '16 Air Assault Brigade (16AA) [16AA]'   - This is because this area includes both the 'Unit Name' and 'Clan TAG name'

The result can be seen here  - http://units.arma3.com/unit/16aa

 

 

So the goal is to make the 'Search by name' more inclusive of both the fields of 'Unit Name' and 'Clan Tag Name' within that search.

 

I hope I'm making sense :)

Can we allow domain names as Arma 3 Server locations? I use the domain to abstract away any infrastructure changes in our group without having to update anyone of new IP's etc

Is it appropriate to use the units page to promote a mod or server (or server-community)?

I mean, the platform is convenient for it since you can link your servers and mods on it.

 

 

Some examples:

http://units.arma3.com/unit/asylum

http://units.arma3.com/unit/cl3

http://units.arma3.com/unit/kavalalife
