  7. A plea to the Epoch developers

    in Discussion

    Well we can use a Host, I have a forum and another server, and I have some scripting ability (I am Learning) if we could find a scripter that shares the same ideals then I would be happy to give it a go.

    Sounds good to me. We should get a steam group chat going to snowball the ideas on how this works.

    Although I agree that some of these would be awesome, (I am pretty open minded) I do however counter your points with the fact that you would be making the same game as before and VERY similar to Breaking Point. 

     

    You can of course remove these from a server If I am not mistaken? change the spawn settings so these do not spawn in? I think the point Darth_Rouge made (and I tried to make with worse effect) is that this is all trial and error. so technically if you did a little legwork as a collective we could implement such things?  not 100% accurately to your description but you can imitate such.

     

    This mod will be made how the devs make the mod. they beauty of PC and Arma is you can tailor it to how you want. With a little research, help and elbow grease you can effectively make a server to your playstyle.  

     

    Hell I would love to see a super Hardcore (Hardcore being the word used to describe your ideals) server and get involved. it would be great to see and play so if you guys want we could form a collective? 

     

    I'm personally not a fan of Breaking Point. Every time Epoch gets better, Breaking Point just falls into obscurity. They also don't have a very good base system. I'd love to get involved with a collective any way I could. I have no hosting experience but I'm good at testing and running forums. 

     

    It doesn't really matter what I agree or disagree with. I just think your design philosophy is a lot more sound than many servers out there.

    Well, thank you.

    Out of interest Johny, What would you class as a survival game? because from the top of my head there is quite a few ailments you need to fight off in Epoch and I want to know what true survival means in your eyes. 

     

    you have:

     

    Hunger/Thirst

    Shelter/Building

    Sickness/Toxicity

    PVP (other survivors)

    Damage or Limb breaking 

    Hunting 

    Cooking

    Crafting

     

     

    Bearing in mind that this is an Alpha stage game, I think the guys are doing a great job in giving us stuff to survive against, and I would be damn sure interested to find out what else a game needs to class as survival. 

     

    Survival to me would mean:

     

    - Houses on the map would very rarely have a weapon at all in it. Every house should have food, clothes, and light supplies. 

     

    - High powered weapons would only be available from either military bases or the rare supply crate in the middle of nowhere.

     

    - No machine guns, rocket launchers or thermal scopes. The best sniper you could get should be like an M24 or CZ. 

     

    - No helicopters or tank-like vehicles. Cars and trucks should be the standard... and scarce. 

     

    - Bases should solely be made out of wood. No concrete or whatever else. Obviously they should be destructible in raids.

    So it seems like I'm certainly not alone when feeling this way. It seems like we will have to wait until future updates of Epoch to flesh out the survival aspect on servers. I'd really like to come together with people like you guys who feel the same way I do and create a survival setting on A3 (finally).

    Please stop making this mod so militarized. I fell in love with vanilla Epoch, when it was just a bunch of players on Chernarus using CZs and M4s to hunt each other, and retreating back to their wooden shacks... How times have changed... People flying helicopters around cities, shooting people with 50 cal machine guns all while dodging rocket launchers. Please go back to your survival roots. This mod is going to be DOA if you don't fix it. You obviously care about this mod and put your best efforts into it, so please don't just allow this to be wasteland part 2 with random monsters walking around. Epoch is the only mod in which you can build bases and I'd hate to see it fall into obscurity.
