  2. Switching to walk mode while unarmed

    in Bug Reports

    Posted

    1. The server you were playing on. 

     

    Any

     

    2. What arma3 build and what Epoch build you are using. 

     

    0.2.0.1/1.34

     

    3. What it was you were doing

     

    If you are unarmed and you tap w+s walk then sometimes you can't switch back to jog, also if you tap right mouse button you start to walk and sometimes can't switch back.

     

     

    4. Is it repeatable. 

     

    It is repeatable but does not happen everytime.  The fix seems to be to relog.

  6. Too many heavy snipers!!!

    M14 DMR and a HK 417 Battle rifle.. Please please please.

     

    Edit: Never understood all the love for all these big rifles, are you that shitty marksmen or are you compensating for something else.

    the mk 18 is a version of the m14, it's called the mk 14 ebr in real life.  But yeah would love a bigger variety in medium caliber sniper rifles, even if they chuck in some of the old favourites from arma II (updated with new attachment system ofc) :-)

  7. What's your control options?

    I only bind two keys to my mouse, the first is to switch between first and third person, the second to zoom out my view.  Even in first person this is usefull to temporarily increase your fov.

     

    In other games i would usually bind melee and throw to my mouse.

  10. Dogs

    in Discussion

    Give the dog a goat leg and it´ll be your buddy attacking snakes (there´s 3 solutions atm. - either wait till you are dead of poisoning, get killed or kill yourself) and remember to feed the dog from time to time or it´ll turn on you.

    The dogs are still barking after you´ve trained it and will give away your location though - so the simple solution is to shoot them. Wish they would be more silent after training at some point in the dev. :)

    you can survive snake bites, you'll see as your toxicity goes down your body temp goes up, so you are basically sweating out the poision.  The way you survive it is by regulating your body temp by either using cold packs or going into water.  When in water your toxicity won't go down because you are not sweating but your body temp will go down, when your body temp is low enough go out of water and sweat out more poision, when temp is high again go back into water to cool off.

     

    pretty awesome system so far

  14. Upcoming Update 0.2 // [New] Base building objects get deleted after 7 days. (Painting walls extends this for 7 more days.)

    in Discussion

    Posted

    Hey,

     

    i read the following Patchnote for the upcoming patch 0.2 and now im a little bit confused.

     

    -[New] Base building objects get deleted after 7 days. (Painting walls extends this for 7 more days.)

     

    I mean, Base Building is a very difficult and especially the most time consuming part of Epoch.

     

    I cant believe that the will deleted every building object when a object reached the expiration of 7 days.

     

    Are there any exceptions, like building parts within range of a frequenzy Jammer will be not deleted ?

     

    If anybody got a little bit more informations about this, it would be really nice if you share it with us.

    It's the same in arma 2, in arma 2 you have to pay maintenance depending on the size of your base, at least here you only have to find some paint every other week ;-)

  17. Legal question to the developers

    in Discussion

    Actually A3Epoch might be a framework for other mods in future (according to discussion with Awol on Kiory's twitch chat), think of overpoch (officially) minus the ridiculous hybrid name... also mods won't be forced to use Epoch in their names (like Dayz has).

    Not sure about the current stance towards this, but I hope this idea is still true, which means its not stealing, will be actually encouraged and will help develop strong modding community around Epoch mod.

    yeah but he wants to take single assets and use it in his own mod.  If he gets permission then cool, i just found it funny that people are jumping on it so early.  Didn't mean to be rude to ymok, i think I insulted him didn't mean to lol.  best of luck to him.

    Allthough it is hard to argue with dslyecxi there are some points he is ignoring.

     

    First of all, the way you move in real life is a lot different from the way you move in a game.  In real life if you stand next to a tall fence you can pull yourself up to look over the edge for instance.  You can also peek through gaps in the wall without exposing your body.  You can contort your body in to all kinds of weird poses to get situational awerness of an area without exposing yourself, you can't do that in the game.  That is why there is 3rd person in Arma.  Indeed it can be argued that 3rd person is key to having a realistic tactical awereness in ArmA.

     

    Secondly some things are just not correctly configured for 1st person.  Take a speed boat as an expample.  As the boat accelerates the nose lifts, to counter this in real life the boat driver will either be standing or in a elevated position so that he can look over and down the nose while driving.  Not so in arma, it is in fact impossible to see where you are going driving a speed boat in 1st person in this game.

     

    There is a reason ArmA has 3rd person.  They would not have included it in the game if it was not essential.

     

    Either case it is perfectly acceptable for a person to prefer 1st person server, just like it is acceptable for a person to prefer 3rd person enabled.  It doesn't mean they are peekers or cheats or hardcore.  It is just preference.  Personally I enjoy both, I find 1st person more suspensfull but ultimately i find 3rd person enabled to be more tactical and have better firefights since both parties have good battlefield intel.  Fights seem to last longer on 3rd person enabled servers and you must think more and use cover and tactical movement more effectively.

     

    Anyway soz for the derailment just thought i'd share my 2c on this.

    the server is empty because he has converted to mega hardcore without pre-warning, there was an almost permanent full server, now it is empty and deserted, it would not have to be, it was a new second opened server: zun02 is again veteran on , there are all forced to start over though playing on the hardcore server only three people, they can use their beautifully mounted convincing. (Determined an admin here, so admin abuse)

    but we test epoch! epoch is to build a base and store things! that's epoch, and that's what we try! what you have now of a hardcore server with a maximum of 10 people on it? what is the point to come out for test results? what the devs about it? test is a full server life trying to get full ....

    what willste currently testing? the trader work 100%, base build works 100%, all major bugs, especially those who are all duper listed and reported ....

    on zun01 you can build again after Yarwood has cleared the duper base, I have also offered our 7 floors tower we built from only fun from wood in the south to delete to create space ...

    it is simply a matter that it's stupid easy to relocate, there was nothing deliberate, why not just put on the new hardcore? it suddenly goes to this, without pre-warning .... test means a stable solid basis (server) to create ... not from capricious and suddenly change everything and everyone selling it?

    and when the people but also connect more often? why can not the white list? `white list or how many people you owe to the hardcore server, so how many are new come to this? guarantees much less so before, or no?!?!

    So our group is one of the few that really test and reported, but no matter ....

    we are elsewhere restart, where not all of a sudden the whole concept is changed, without advance warning and without thinking properly! bullshit that there are only 2 bases on zun01 how many tents are full as well?

    and we are not the only one who now start somewhere else, you have immediately very many of your first regular players lost, I do not think her so soon fully

    now you have two empty server that can bring almost no test results because they are not busy

    much more happiness, we are gone!

    translated with google translate

    link to the post in the zun forum:

     

    I don't know what you are on about dude, they made a hardcore server and a regular server, deal with it.  The normal server is fullish, it's not empty because of the change but because people can't be bothered to find out how to whitelist themselves or they are denied whitelist because they suck at life. 

     

    TBH there is not much to test right now, we are all just playing waiting for the next patch and then we'll test the new stuff.  People are quick to use testing as an excuse but truth be told we just want to play, if we find bugs while we play we report it, but at the end of the day we are just playing and every now and again some testing happens when we find something that doesn't work as expected. 

     

    My point being; stop hiding behind the testing excuse, be honest, you lost your base that took a long time to build and now you are salty, but you knew that you will lose the base since it is early days and the game and servers are in constant flux, so now you are hiding behing the testing excuse.  Anyway lol, whatever.

  23. White list help

    in Discussion

    Things have changed since you got that key.  Since you aren't active i'll recap you.  At first you needed a whitelist key to play but then the servers were infiltrated by some bad people.  The devs decided fuckit might as well let everyone play.  Then organised hack attacks happened and some guys stole the server files and tried to blackmail the epoch devs.  Then the servers got passworded and whitelist driven again.

     

    The way it works now is there are a few servers run by the devs for them to test and develop on, and they have allowed communities to host their own servers if those communities are trusted.  So you have to apply for a whitelisting at one of those communities.  I can reccomend Zombies.nu at http://www.lowping.org/whitelist/ or brmf.me just click on whitelist on the main page.  I hope this helps you out dude.
