Caveman1 Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Could someone explain to me what new things Overpoch brings?. From the looks of what i've found it just adds more guns and vehicles to epoch. Why not just add them to Epoch tables and be done with it? Not downing Overpoch at all just wonding why a whole new mod just for more stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DynaMike Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Because they can't. Its copyrighted by the overwatch team Huh? I really believe you´re wrong. Most of the "packs" Overwatch has are freely available to download on misc Arma sites. There may be issues in relation to some, since Vilas Car addons were previously included, but he requested them removed from Epoch, because they accepted donations (as far as I recall) The "normal" procedure is to ASK for permission to use the misc packs in Mods. I think THAT is the main block atm. I do not believe the Overwatch team has copyright on anything besides the logo. TayTayTheKiller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creep Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 basically its just a refresh of the gameplay.. Epoch itself is the same as it is now (except for the admins) since the 1.0.4 updates and they are released a few months ago, and even then its, in terms of gunplay, the same like ever. I mean its not bad that Epoch didnt come up with new weapons and loads of new vehicles, but the much players are sick of the default dayz loadouts Just to show you: Epoch came up with the KSVK and every player used to have one Epoch came up with the M107 (again) and everyone used to have one Epoch started (as far as I know) with the Lapua which was a new gun in terms of dayZ and everyone wanted to have it exploring the new stuff is always going to be the task of the players in the first days, that why so much bugs are mostly found within days (only if there are any) With the new amount of weapons to explore (even if they are almost the same) it takes weeks or even months to play with every gun and find the one you are in to Sure there are some bugs with the vehicles and some weapons, but you can simple take those out and still have loads of new stuff.. Thats why totaly new content is always more attractive then fixes and some extra functions... unfortunately I have to say Also there is something I loved to have with Overpoch, since there are weapons that have got all attachments and subclasses for the (normal - sd version - cco version - cco sd version) the new weapon attachments mod came to usage of its finest, I sat down for like 2 hours, but now my players are going nuts, just because they are able to attache or detach a silence or their favorite sight... Its a combination all of those points... Overpoch gives you abilities.. if you use them to your best, people will come... just that easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cring0 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Easier to add Overwatch content than to add individual items, I would imagine. You can't just add these other weapons to the loot table, the clients have to have them loaded as well, right? Overwatch has a different sound pack too, which I'm assuming is just JSRS, no? We had JSRS enabled on our server but you still had to install and enable it client side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creep Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Thats the point, alot of the weaponpacks or other stuff from armaholic needs to be added server and client side to get them to work.. if a laucher would cover all of those packs it wouldnt matter, but for now, using packs that are downloadable by launchers are easier to use for the clients Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cring0 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I do like the additions that the Overwatch content provides, I just don't agree with the way the loot tables are on most servers, and especially how most people set up traders for these items. I love the sounds, simple things like running and crawling are SO much less irritating to hear. I still haven't used that crouch-sitting stance that you get when vaulting while crouched, but it would probably work better than laying prone in weeds and such. And then there's the Nissan 350z which can off-road at over 100kph which can be some fun. If only you could parachute out of them! XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brez Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Is the Alchemical crafting a part of Epoch or a part of Overwatch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cring0 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Neither, its a script, it's on the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
