Marianas Training Map
Because our Caucasus area "Tuesday Night Noob" training map is pretty much always full, we've added a more tropical experience on the Marianas map! This is a slightly harder version of the normal TNN map.

Hi everyone,
I want to first apologize to all the folks whose communications through the patreon platform we missed. Most of the admins communicate with supporters via discord and too often it has slipped our minds that discord is not used by everyone that fits into the category of people who want to support our missions. We're going to look into ways to make sure we don't miss messages this badly again.
Most of the requests have been about slot information. We have ou...

We understand this can be a tough time financially due to the uncertainty regarding COVID-19, and we don't want to be an additional burden on that. We really enjoy the company, feedback, and chat that you guys provide us and we want to keep that kinship afloat, especially when we are all focusing on self-isolation.
To that effect, we'll be putting a stay on removing slots from GAW/PGAW for those of you who need to cancel their support in order to use that money for mor...

Hey guys, I have some bad news.
We experienced a technical issue earlier today while I was trying to upgrade some server components that we use, and a mistake I made about 8 months ago while configuring our postgres database made itself apparent in the worst way: We lost data stored at https://patreon.hoggitworld.com
This includes both objectives and your slots.

Hey folks,
This was only advertised in discord, and it completely slipped that some of our patrons don't frequent our discord chat. I apologize if your rewards have not been acknowledged or implemented recently because of that.

Just a quick update on something we've been wanting to do for a minute, you can now download tacview files from our https://atwar.online website under the "Downloads" section in the header.
The funding that you guys provide enable us to do things like pay for storage space online for saving these files, and host the webservers that deliver them, so once again, thanks for all you do guys! I'm looking forward to...

We've implemented the changes to the Patreon slots for PGAW. The $1 and $5 slots remain unchanged. The $10 gets you 1 slot on either map, $15 gets you two slots that you can put both on one map, or put one on each. We've reopened the $20 slot and added a few more spots for it, that gets you three slots that you can distribute across both maps as you want.
Slots can be bought for other people as well, just make sure the name is correct on th...

Greetings!
We had mentioned on discord a week or so ago that we'd be proposing a new tier system to you guys to help keep the workload manageable going forward into PGAW.
We've got a proposal ready and are going to be dropping it into discord shortly. We want your input on this since you guys are important to us and we don't want to make any mistakes.
Please check out the discussion on discord. Once the discussion there is over I'll be posting a new post here with something ...

Hey guys just a little update for you guys to check in between your F-14 sorties.
So it's no secret that we had been suffering some bad rubberbanding and lag issues over the last month or so, and I'm happy to report that we've been able to solve the issue! We've migrated GAW off of a shared VPS and chose a new provider that could get us dedicated instances for an affordable price, and while we're still working out some of the kinks we're seeing massive improvement...

As we get closer to the F14 release, we're going to be pretty busy updating all our servers to have the F14 as a flyable plane. We understand that there's going to be a lot of you who would like to modify your slot decisions once the F14 is out.
We've created the google form linked above so that we can try and deal with the volume of requests we expect for this, in a nicer format than just the Patreon messaging.
If you would like to modify your (or one of your) Patreon slots...

Hey guys just a super fast update on the state of GAW and some of the other stuff we're working on, we've got a bigger state of the subreddit coming out soon to go into more detail but we've had a couple of things you guys have enabled us to do so I just wanted to give a quick shout out as to how we're spending your cash.
So the biggest news is that we've launched a new training map server which is running the latest iteration of our "Tuesday Night Noob" map, This map f...

Hello Supporters!
GAW Phase 2 has been running for a few weeks now and we've been very pleased with how it's going. Lots of feedback and improvements are ongoing and we love it.
GAW (both P1 and P2) wouldn't be running as well as it is today without your support, and to show how much we appreciate you guys we're doing a giveaway!
After December 1st's patreon round is complete, we're going to be adding all the names in the Hoggit Cadet ($5) Ti...

Thought it was a good idea for a reminder post on how to get the rewards you've asked for:
Send us a message on patreon using the speech bubble button at the top right when logged in. The content of the message should include the following things:
- Objective name you'd like to add
- [ Slot tiers ] - The aircraft type you need
- [ Slot tiers ] - Your in-game name (important to be exact, case-wise)
It may take us a few days to a week to add your plane /...

Hey guys, we're super stoked to be able to invite you to the alpha version of GAW phase 2! For one week we will be giving you guys a sneak peek into the new phase for GAW so we can get it ready for public consumption!
The mission picks up where we left off at Maykop airport as our new home. The overall flow of the mission will be exactly the same, there are 4 warehouses that must be captured to ensure that there are steady supplies to Maykop, the AI commander has a few new t...

Hey folks. We've been a little quiet recently on the updating and bugfixing side of GAW, and I'd like to apologize and explain what's been going on.
A few weeks ago we were having a problem with the GAW server, where it would freeze for a few minutes and then recover. We were scouring for ideas about what it could be, and decided to start optimizing our GAW scripts wherever we could. The problem ultimately ended up being pretty silly (2018-09-20 13:51:54 +0000 UTC

Hey guys nothing really pleasant to discuss here at the moment, right now we're seeing strange networking behavior from GAW, and so far our attempts to mitigate the issue have had varying degrees of success however have ultimately come up short. Doubly frustrating is that we just came off of probably our best couple of weeks ever! Right now we're basically doing more or less a massive rewrite using the lessons that we've learned from running the mission the last few months, and we're really ho...

Hey guys, kinda made some big changes here over the last couple of minor versions so figured I'd post an update!

- Convoy missions have been added! You can find the enemy convoys general location with the F10 menu, and it will occasionally be broadcast to all players. Coordinates are pre...

Hello Patrons!
We're looking to collect a little information about how GAW is going. We'll be using this information to tweak phase 1 of GAW, and use it as input for phase 2's creation process.
This is the same survey already posted in Discord, so if you answered that one then you don't need to pay attention to this one.

The big theme for the changes recent have been around stability. We hadn't been doing a great job keeping the server up and running, so we dug in hard to find the root causes, and so far we've seen huge successes. If stability has been keeping you away, I invite you guys back to check it out again as we've been going pretty solidly now for several days and I foresee that continuing.
Another theme in this batch of changes is increasing the viability of people playing logistic...

We got some feedback in the Georgia-At-War channel on discord about the amount of dark time currently. The amount of dark right now does seem like too much, and it's starting to drive traffic away from the server during the night mission.
We're going to make a change and remove the night time "cycle" from the rotation. And we'll also be able to modify the amount of dark time in the morning and evening cycles too, so here's the question:
How much night time can...

Hey guys.
We had a little mis-config with the Discord integration, but everything seems to be okay now.
If you don't have access to the #supporters channel inside discord, please shoot either Acidic or Zelly a note on discord (or reply here) and we'll see if we can figure out what's up.
Thanks again for your support. We'll be working to get the slots worked out in GAW ASAP.
