Epoch Reppin

It's blurry, but that's probably a good thing with my face haha  :D
 

Mine finally came today, WOOOOO!

Took my new shirt for a spin out at the ranch. Couldn't find any helicopters though

There will be an official wiki, I'll be starting work on in when I'm allowed to!

I understand the idea but some lessons were learned from DayZ Epoch mostly on how players interacted with the world and basebuilding.
 
Players will mostly take the easiest way out
Go on any DayZ Epoch server back then and there would be 20 shitty wood bases to every cinderblock base
(if there were cinderblock bases most likely it was a "donor base" server or there were ridic AI missions everywhere)
Why is this?
Players are eager to accomplish the whole "base" thing but some either did not want to put forth the effort into looting all the things necessary to build up to that cinder block / metal base or simply did not have a clue how to do it and were just experimenting.
 
Ease of use needs to take a backseat to balancing the base pieces so they are all relevant. It would kill me to see the DayZ Epoch style of basebuilding in Arma 3 because there is so much more potential there.
Consider what would happen if all you needed was a hatchet and some energy to make a legit base, noone would be putting forth much effort and they would be bored and over it in a week or so- we need to engage the player and give them something to work for vs. making it too easy.
 
Now that being said- I believe that some other base pieces made of wood could possibly be awesome, a low armor wood piece to "board up" a house, and an answer to the foundation (ways to obtain mortar or craft it possibly)
Bases created and destroyed, keeps the players on edge and playing for reals vs. trying something once and never again.  It's never an easy answer, so good luck finding that balance.
 
Guys, keep in mind that this is alpha as well, I'm in the struggle too trying to find salvage metal / parts - i'm 100% sure there will be more of that available in the future, for now I take it as a challenge
Hopefully you won't take this as an insult, just wanted to state my POV going from DayZ Epoch to A3 Epoch  - I want to see hella creative and fortified bases!

Yes, big thanks to the devs and all their hard work. When I fist heard they were making the mod all I was expecting was base building in arma 3, which still would have been awesome, but they've gone above and beyond with all the content they've provided. Love all the work they've done on the arma 2 and arma 3 mods, the team obviously has a lot of talent. Looking forward to future updates. 

definitely will be in eventually ... unless it is decided that it will water down the competitive aspect, always should be a risk to lose your Krypto- secure storage in a safe zone is not the answer imo

It's time for the sapper.
 
Help support the mod by picking up a limited edition shirt!
 

As the title says, I just wanted to take a second to say THANKS to the people behind the scenes that do what they do and don't get a lot of recognition for their time and effort.
 
Without doing what you do, for the love of the game, none of us would have & enjoy Epoch.

I know that i'm missing a few people here....
 
Thanks, a round of WhiskeyNoodle on me.
 

Yeah I was really taken aback at this scope the first time I had it, I would agree that the targeting portion should not be a thing- the built in rangefinder could remain though as long as the scope was just ultra-rare and sought after I believe there is still value in rare items spawning in the world, just not overpowered items.

post your PC specs and note whether you are in combat- what weather is currently stuff like that, might help narrow down the issue

AWOL had said that server files may be available in beta phase which is when Epoch reaches 1.0 , but more info will be available long before then so if you are interested you are in the right place - in the forums :)

- Just posted this today, thanks to AWOL for letting me post it :)
