  1. I just like some butter on my toast ;)

     

     

    Just be thankful you don't have to scrape a bunch of mayonnaise and ketchup off of your toast before applying said butter.

    These earlier alpha builds are intended to be more of a framework so people like yourself can tailor it more to your liking on down the road.

     

    We have plenty in store in terms of content, but laying the foundation so to speak must be done first.

  2. Absolutely not. That's why I'm posting in favour of the devs allowing the shops, but on condition they get commission. In my own sort of way, I've been trying to point out that if they don't give the permission, the servers owners will open a store anyway. 

    Uro1's right about that, it's too early to stake any concrete claims as it's been kind of vague to begin with.

    Also Skydogs, I recall reading that split profit sharing was not something they would be approving of; as far as I'm aware reading through that thread & official responses.

     

    Everyone should just be patient until more clarity comes from BI, which I imagine it will; whether it be official statements or communities made an example of.

  3. The way I read Sequisha's post, is that you can't sell anything, not even your own time and labour, if you're running Epoch.

    So let's say you offer in-game tutorials, or chaperoning for new players, in exchange for donations, you would even need Epoch permission for that.

    Personally I think it would be difficult to enforce, but that's how I've read it.

    Anyone??

    Please provide a scenario in which someone should be able to sell something that doesn't give a player an unfair advantage.

    Try to be realistic and consider what a player would actually like to purchase.

    Looking back on all of the donator shops that we've seen. none of it has ever been cosmetic and has always offered items that would normally take a regular player a fair bit of time to obtain.

  4. Krypto is available to anyone on the server not only someone who "donates/purchases" it.

    Krypto is an ethereal item that would give a player an advantage over another player, and doesn't fit into the realm of BI's accepted monetary guidelines.

    The same can be applied to certain types of tactical clothing; take the Ghillie for instance.  Aside from the obvious visual difference, it also provides additional armor to the player; all Arma 3 clothing has armor values on them.

     

    We can theorize and make our own interpretations of what little has been publicly stated on the subject, but the proof will most certainly be in the pudding.  Anyone interested should follow the proper channels linked above and we'll see where this all goes.

     

  5. Good point, as a mod I would like to ask if I'm allowed to remove user signatures that have a pay mall on their website? I know I am able to do it via the moderatorCP I just didn't want to step on any toes. I would be more then happy to police these members that are not following the TOS.

    Go ham Robio. Release the hounds you sexy sob.

  6. Then why do people still get to have signatures with game tracker information that sell your items via donation stores? I pmed the OP about this but he just ignored it despite the rules stating this.  Seems very laxidazial to give one message out here in the OP, then your message out later in the topic, yet doing nothing to stop actual people that are indeed advertising their servers via signatures, who sell in game items in their  store.

     

    We will remove any post/signature related to advertising for a server that is selling in-game items.  More info

     

    Is this being enforced or not?

    Of course, we've been against this since day one; it probably just hasn't been addressed yet.  Believe me though, we've collectively removed, banned or edited hundreds of sigs and members in the past.

    To retain the context of this entry, I said:

    "To be clear, I have no intentions of monetizing my work in this regard, but I would like to reserve the right to prevent others to do so." - Sequisha

     

    "You have every right to do so.
    If you wish to contest the "approved status" then use the report button. Sometimes the infringements are so obvious, that we will be able to see ourselves that the person requesting approval is not acting in the best of the Arma community and we will not grant the approval. Most of the times it is not so obvious and that is where content creators such as yourself can use "report" to help us maintain the healthy community."

    ...and there you have it folks. Straight from the Executive Producer's fingers. This is a bright day in the future of Arma for everyone, let us all rejoice.

  8. So people can't sell your creations without your permission? That's fair enough in my book.

     

    Although I can see some communities with coders on their team, rebuilding Epoch products so that they're their own creations, and then flogging them through their payed for perks store.

    It's not just the assets, any server running Epoch as a base would also be subject to this.

    "...on server with community content you also need approval for all content from every involved community content authors" -Dwarden 2015

     

    At this time, I have made no approval of commercial use for my content, this has not changed since the project began.  There is no grandfathering in of this, if you're not on their approval list...then guess what?

    Myself and the rest of the Epoch development team will be expecting messages from anyone who chooses to obtain our approval on this matter.
     

  10. Yeah, sounds like the BEclient.exe isn't running on your pc.  There may have been something that stripped it from initializing on your end.  I would suggest re-downloading the BEclient.dll from www.battleye.com, & checking your file integrity through steam.  You may also want to check your (Start-->Run-->msconfig) to make sure you don't have Battleye disabled.

  11. Lol, just messing with ya Sequisha....it's just the m14 is a work of art in game and real life.  I will search high and low for one if required :)

    I hope you guys like my facelift and config of it :D

  12. *nods slowly*
    I think the m14, mk18 and a couple others are definitely going to get a rarer percentage rate on spawning, as well as the silencers. But hey, at least possible to piece together your dream weapon...or at least something close to it.
