I'm surprised you didn't get a belly ache from all that pie you had at the door Dslyecxi.

[@Brian-nt6lv]

I hope the Star Wars trench run quotes continue to appear in your videos.

[@echoes7MGTE]

"Yeah the squishy sound should be me." lmao

[@FlinnGaidin]

Fancy that, you survived :D Nice adversarial, haven't seen one of them in a good long while. What was the reason they retreated? Lost too many men to properly assault your positions?

[@tykCypher]

Both assaulting elements got decapitated in their respective attacks, and that loss of leadership brought the attack to a full stop. After that... well, the video does a great job showing what happened.

[@pavlearezina9817]

Any pov from the attacker side available?

[@tykCypher]

None that I am aware of.

[@FlinnGaidin]

Cypher, cool, thanks for the explanation ;)

[@kerrjo1601]

I 'WAS' going to bed at midnight, it's half past now lol, thanks Dslyecxi and Crane Song! hehe and.....sleeeep!

[@GhostWulve]

Up on that rooftop causing trouble, like a rock you can't seem to get out of your shoe.

[@Howler-vk3hm]

so the first thing i hear is Crane say "pass the trees." and i think that's one hell of a snack to just be passing around. thank Crane for a good smile. :D

[@FlinnGaidin]

Who needs sleep?

[@CreepySunny]

Sleep? What is that, never heard of it.

[@Elmarby]

Arma's tendency to make you stand up when crawling to a place you cannot crawl is probably the single biggest bugbear I have with it. Crawling around ought to be a pretty good clue I am attached the discretion and cover that being prone affords. And yet Arma interprets crawling near a wall as "Oh, you must really want to stand up!"

[@dslyecxi]

Oh, no - this is something new. This is an actual A3 animation bug that was introduced in 1.68. You can reproduce it by going prone and then doing a combination of ASD movements - it'll quickly make you stand. I don't know if that was changed in today's hotfix, but I reported it.

[@gaz3897]

A new feature you say? thanks for the heads up incase we run into it! Nice to have a cause and effect outlined early in arma for a change:)

[@iimrbreacherii]

You have more than 1000 videos, which is awesome, but how do you think of so many unique titles ? crazy

[@dslyecxi]

It's on my mind while I'm editing a video, sometimes I figure it out early, sometimes I know in advance, and sometimes it's a struggle. This one evolved into wanting to express that our high ground became a key part of the battle.

[@headrockbeats]

I thought the title was ironic! I was totally wrong.

[@ARamWhoWrangles]

"alright then don't" peaks anyways THUUUG LIFE

[@WowCoolHorse]

That concrete sounded surprisingly squishy...

[@shafferic1590]

I have noticed in a lot of these videos you are very protective of Crane haha, is Mr Dslyecxi finally getting a bit soft with one of his squad mates? :-P

[@_TestBot]

At around the 4:30 part of the video, that sliding in mud sound, is that added in the latest update? Part of a mod? A Shacktac thing? Part of the map? Has it always been there and I've never noticed? It's so... immersive!

[@FlinnGaidin]

_TestBot I saw in some of the latest patch notes that they were changing water sounds, and also figured that it was properly due to those added sounds.

[@Aardvark892]

I wonder if there are any mods that would let you disable the "right mouse button zoom in" feature.

[@joelcox5801]

Someone has probably already asked this, but have you seen an improvement when playing with Shacktac since the 64-bit update for ARMA 3?

[@FlinnGaidin]

Joel Cox, last time I saw this asked, he said they're not using it as of yet.

[@OZTutoh]

12:05 How did you know they were there?

[@Darman0430]

So does ShackTac choose battle buddies or did Crane just kind of get stuck with you?

[@dslyecxi]

AR/AARs are buddies, which is what we are in this fireteam.

[@jal2738]

UO UO UO STAYING ALIVE STAYING ALIVE !!!!!!!!!

[@Scrambles7]

do you ever upload missions so that other Arma groups could play them later on?

[@JamesPimlott]

awesome

[@TheGreatPurpleFerret]

How did you figure that was a TL/PL that you shot in the open field?

[@headrockbeats]

They have a slightly different uniform and equipment... and Dslyecxi's monitor is as big as a house.

[@Thoreaufare]

At 4k, it's a lot easier to spot small details in the models at distance.

[@TheGreatPurpleFerret]

Headrock I didn't even realize he had a different uniform until I watched it again lol

[@headrockbeats]

+Thoreaufare - He's playing at 1440p ultra-wide.

[@Thoreaufare]

Oh. Guess he just uploads in 4K for the bitrate then.

[@ImNeopolitan]

Was this against other players or was it AI?

[@FlinnGaidin]

Neo's Chesticles, says at the start of the video that it's PvP. Look under 'dslyecxi' at 0:06, and the first thing is 'Adv' which is short for Adversarial, ie. player versus player.

[@ARamWhoWrangles]

Two minutes in and based off of how Dsl described the enemies movements it sounds like players, will advise.

[@ARamWhoWrangles]

Yeah it is definitely players, they are flanking too effectively to not be. AI will generally head straight towards enemies and only flank when they are in close contact.

[@tyermalin]

There's something that's bugging me - Are you on skype/TS/Discord/whatever with Crane? She does not sound like the usual "local voip" we can hear of other people in your other videos edit: I might be wrong after listening further in this video

[@dslyecxi]

Uh, nope. It's ACRE as with everyone else. Doing anything else would be incredibly unethical in our sessions.
