[Disable Logging Out In Safe Zone]

But why? What's the harm in logging in and out in a safe zone?

[Disable Logging Out In Safe Zone]

Can I ask why the need for this? This is a serious question, as I don't see the exploit potential here and am genuinely curious.

 

I can kind of see the point around bases (combat logging and the such) but I don't see the point of preventing it in trader cities.

[List of Epoch Improvements/Annoyances]

I actually really like the loss of krypto in theory. HOWEVER, I think -100 is definitely over the top (-50 is more reasonable) and you shouldn't be able to go negative in your bank account. It makes it very daunting to start up on a new server. One of the guys in my crew is currently at like -2500 on Mells. While this is largely his fault (not only because he is dying too much, but also not actively looting, selling, and depositing cash), it has made krypto and looting for gear to sell and make money essentially pointless for him.

 

EDIT: Also repair vehicle does work on choppers, heal player does work (it just take a couple of times), revive player works pretty much every time for me (you gotta shoot em in the head) and you can move frequency jammers after you place them.

 

Everything else I agree with.

 

We need more storage containers. Also the recipe for shelves is way too much. 9 metal scraps!! By the time you find that many scraps you've accumulated enough loot to fill at least 4 more shelves! 

[Question about the Radios]

Radio quartz replaces the side chat, at least by default. The way I like to think about it is that if you want to talk to people who are outside of your group, you need to find a functional radio.

[ARMA 3 DLC required to fly some choppers?]

Firstly, I'd say just buy the DLC. But I understand why some people wouldn't want to do that. However, I've found that there isn't much use for the Huron and Taru in Epoch. They draw way too much attention and are way too difficult to hide. Usually when we find one we immediately take them to be sold. Which does net you about 2500 krypto, so I guess that's one use for them.

[Crash On Loading Into Mells]

Seems to have resolved itself. Disregard.

[Crash On Loading Into Mells]

Hey all, Merry Christmas!!

 

My Arma just crashed while playing on Mells and since the crash I have been unable to join the server. Arma stops responding when loading up after hitting continue from the lobby. People in game tell me the log says I've been kicked for a Steam ticket check fail. This is only happening to me when I try to join Mells. All other servers and non-Epoch servers seem to be behaving fine.

 

I've already verified game cache and reinstalled the mod. I've tested other Epoch servers and it seems to work fine, and I've tested non-Epoch servers running vanilla Arma and they seem to work fine as well. I'm only having the issue on Mells at the moment, which is said as that is my home.  :(  :(

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[Drone or buzzing?]

Drones (Darters) in Epoch spawn over cities when player are present. They will actively search for you. If spotted, three enemy AI soldiers will spawn in the town with PDWs and hunt you down. Don't be fooled, they are deadly accurate with said PDWs.

 

If you didn't find the drone, it's likely another player shot it down. You can shoot the drones down before they spot you to prevent the spawning of AI soldiers.

How many Dorito crumbs are in your neckbeard?

 

I'm imagining a neckbeard comprised entirely of Dorito crumbs.

[D'oh: Tipi's in 2035]

K so can knock up a jammer with ease but not a wooden create or something lol

 

lol valid point. I just don't think tipis are so COMPLETELY ridiculous. This signphd fellow? Now he is most definitely completely ridiculous.

Look!! A survival Tipi!!

 

[Arma 3 on sale again]

I have a feeling we'll see a deeper discount on Arma at some point during the Winter Sale

[Cannot Interact with most things.]

Hehehe. I had to resist rubbing it in a little bit  :P  :P

 

Glad I could help.

 

I'm not sure why the scroll wheel doesn't have an inventory function in this mod.

[Cannot Interact with most things.]

[Mods looking promising...servers though, kind of not as much]

Isn't Firecock that arma 2 server that ripped code off of maca and then called it their own?

 

Oh shit.........

[My base was destroyed! How?]

lol. Welcome to the EARLY ALPHA, STILL IN-DEVELOPMENT world of Epoch. These are all issues that have been discussed to death over here on the forums. Bottom line, everything is still being worked on, including the current ease of raiding other bases and prevalence of explosives. Maybe placing your GIGANTIC base in the middle of the salt-flats wasn't the best idea?

 

Regardless, I wouldn't put to much stock in bases at the moment. They are definitely good for smaller scale stuff, or just to have fun TESTING the build mechanics of the game. Just remember, every single server is likely going to have to do several complete server wipes as this mod is developed further and further. No real sense putting hours and hours into a hopefully permanent base at this point.

[Add Rocket Launchers !]

Disagree. Armed Vehicles/Helicopters shouldn't be in Epoch, therefore negating *MOST* of the need for launchers. Launchers will also make base building a futile exercise.

 

However, the times I do wish there were launchers in the game is when I encounter someone who is driving around in a HEMTT just running people over. So frustrating. The really isn't a good way to counter heavy vehicles if they are actively pursuing you. Launchers aren't the answer, but something to consider? 

[Can't trade with traders]

Ooh cool, good to know. Thanks!

 

It also seems to just start working again randomly if you try again later. But relogging is probably way more reliable.

[Can't trade with traders]

Yeah it's really annoying. Buying from traders seems to be bugged. You're standing in the trader, the ONE place you DO NOT want to be any long than you have to, and you need to try and buy the same items over and over again because the transaction just will not go through. ARGH!!

 

It usually just resolves itself after trying enough times. Or I just give up and try again later. I'd say buying items works about 20% of the time for me.

 

I'm sure it will be fixed, but damn it's frustrating.

[ATMs at Spawn Traders: Game Changing or Game Breaking?]

The money will never leave the safezones/trader area. It's just sell/store and your cash is safe :)

 

This convinced me that it would be a terrible idea. I think Zupa is right on the money here. No pun intended. (Actually, it kinda was.)

[D'oh: Tipi's in 2035]

Tents. Made out of animal skins. And Sticks. Shaped into a conical form of some sort. BRILLIANT!  :)

[D'oh: Tipi's in 2035]

Ummmm....If you were running around in a post-apocalyptic environment, needed to build a shelter/place to store your gear, and the only supplies you had available were sticks of wood and animal skins.......what would you build?

 

Sure, they are a little conspicuous, but you really just need to hide them in some reeds. We had one stocked full of shit that nobody found (on a regularly full server) until we were done with it and all the good stuff was gone. 

[sapper]

Disagree. They are a unique antagonist that will only be improved upon as the mod is developed. Maybe watch your 6 or re-prioritize your targets. One of the things I like most about Epoch is that it's not 100% PvP like Breaking Point (besides for the zombies which you pretty much ignore.)

[cant see debug menu]

This is currently a bug related to the cultists attack. You just need to disconnect to the lobby and log back in to fix it.
