Because it gives players that pay extra money an advantage over players that don't. ARMA 3 is expensive enough on it's own. Content wise they add little to nothing and if that was the thing that made them decide they should have gone open source alternatives that everyone can enjoy. I just don't get how they can be so against P2W, and then add P2W stuff in the mod. It just doesnt rhyme.

Question: Did BI pay (or in any way reward) you guys for putting the DLC crap in Epoch? I cannot comprehend that decision otherwise, tops the list of P2W imho. (why not use open source alternatives if it was a content wise decision)

Ugh i can't get over the fact about how horrible it all looks. The ARMA engine has it flaws but even with all it's quirkyness I still feel like the Forgelight engine will never be capable of providing me with the graphics i need to get the immersion wanted for games like DayZ. I believe they are already pushing the limits on the engine graphic wise, simply compare it to the other games on that engine.
 
Everquest

 
Landmark

 
Planetside 2

 
H1Z1

 
Imho it lacks the high res textures/landscaping and terrain that is needed to create an truly immersive game. It kinda has the same challenge that DayZ has, where the ARMA engine is a simulator that is not (yet) capable of handling the amount of entities needed to make it awesome. Forgelight has the problem that it can handle those, but is not (yet) capable of handling decent looking realistic graphics.
 

 
That being said, for the sake of competition, I'm hopeful people will actually keep playing this and that it will become a great success. I'll keep my eye on it and will play it from time to time, but right now i don't think this game is for me :)

THIS VERSION WILL NOT WORK WITH DAYZ EPOCH 1.0.6.1 PLEASE USE THIS VERSION: https://github.com/ebayShopper/WICKED-AI
 
WICKED AI 2.2.0
Since I really like (read love) the Wicked AI missions and support for them has gone in the latest patches, I decided to dust off the old files and start making these 1.0.5+ compatible. Starting with a few minor bugfixes and some custom loadouts, but quickly turning into a proper redo with awesome help of the - very much alive - mod community!

Wicked AI 2.2.0

I know Nox is planning a complete rewrite of EAT for 2.X which also includes moving it server side, why not join him instead? Almost seems like a waste of talent to see two talented scripters work on something that is practically the same.
 
I for one would love to have all the EAT options in a GUI like the one you use.

Just a little event to scare players. Doesn't do anything else but select a random player and create a formation of maximum 5 aircrafts that fly over that player and then fly out of the map.

Key version (preferred method, more realistic)
 
When you buy a vehicle from a normal trader you will get the key for and you can lock, unlock, start and locate (if you have GPS) the vehicle. The vehicle state will get saved to the database meaning it does not auto lock / unlock after restart.

Hotwire kits
In order to prevent large amounts of vehicles in the database that no one uses there should be hotwire kits. They should be just as hard to get as in A2 Epoch but a nice addition would be a selfmade one. The selfmade one has a high chance of getting destroyed in the proces. Hotwire kits are used to START a vehicle, not to break into them.
 
Gear inside vehicle
Opening a locked vehicle should be as easy as taking out a window and breaking in. Gear inside vehicles should be more easy to access and vehicles should therefore not be 'misused' as a safe haven for gear. If you want to store gear use a safe or lockbox.
 
Black market dealers
After you have succesfully hotwired a vehicle you cannot sell it to a normal trader. Normal traders only accept vehicles that have keys on them. Instead you have to sell the vehicle to a black market dealer that only gives you a small percentage of the normal price for it. You can also buy vehicles at the black market trader but they cannot be locked, furthermore you need the hotwire kit to start vehicles bought at the black market trader.

Make it so that the black market dealer only has a limited amount of coins to buy vehicles so it cannot be abused. Plus it is more realistic, you have to sell stuff before you can buy again. Original owners of the vehicle can buy their vehicles back at the black market dealer, their key should still work, giving them full ownership of the vehicle again.
 
Keyless version
 
Pretty much the same, but it uses your playerUID to binds vehicles instead of the keys.

Anti Combat Log
 
Grew tired with the combat logging on our server and felt like I had to do something about it. What I came up with was actually pretty easy - and as such - has probably already been done loads of times before but since i couldn't find it -> here goes.

What this does
 
Whenever a player combat logs from the server ALL of his gear will be taken from his body and put in a crate right where he logged off. This way, when it was a malicious log, the other side has the possibility to get the (well deserved) gear. When it was an accident log, there is a good chance the box will still be there when the player logs back in and he can safely take his stuff back.

If i may ask. What were to pros and cons to this debate? I get the pro extra content and the con all the bullshit that comes with it, but what ultimately made you choose to include it?
 
My two cents:
The extra content is simply not good enough to justify the in game advertisements; I do not feel it is in the spirit of the open-source / no pay to win that Epoch seems to be all about (which i think is really cool) - players that have the heli dlc have a clear advantage over players that dont; Also feel like the racing crap is completely out of place and does not have an epoch feel to them (my interpretation, but still).

Just a little event to scare players. Doesn't do anything else but select a random player and create a formation of maximum 5 aircrafts that fly over that player and then fly out of the map.

Made it a top story on our website. Would be cool if other server admins would also try and make their community aware of this problem. I think we need them to get the numbers needed to make BI question their attitude.

Ugh that attitude. Go play somewhere else please..

It's what i had to offer. I'll remember not to attempt to help you in your condescending posts.

"Random", or ["Random","at"], // Primary gun set number and rocket launcher. "Random" for random weapon set, "at" for anti-tank, "aa" for anti-air launcher

Ugh what a drama topic. Stop worrying so much with what other people do. How is this any different then a webdesign company that charges their customers for installing open source software like Wordpress etc.

I really don't get the witch hunt going on lately and feel like everyone should back-off a little. If the guy has customers then clearly people are willing to pay for his services and if you think he is overcharging I'm sure there's plenty of alternatives.
