Shadow Moses Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 I am not trying to start the age old war about hardcore vs Reg servers and all that noise about 3rd person views. I am just trying to wrap my mind around why this server is set up and has about the average population of 12 to 15 players. Where as the other Texas server is slam packed almost around the clock. Wouldnt it be better to utilize this server as a regular server so we could utilized those extra player slots? I am just wonder what the logic was behind this.

FFDP Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Probably because hardcore is what it is. Read my sig. Most can't handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProbablePanic Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 I think a few people requested a hardcore server on the forums a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axeman Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 To test how hardcore servers respond and iron out any potential bugs that may occur with the different server settings. And to separate the men from the boys :) testing first naturally.. Shadow Moses, Pasi, Major Khunt and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really think bugs are different in a first person server only than in the third person,, Regular server is always packed 50/50 and the hardcore one is 7/50 max,, we are waiting 43 testers,,, don't you see the point?

CamP Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 The Hardcore server has different settings due to the change in difficulty. Not only is it first person only but trader and event locations may be hidden, you may become hungry or thirsty at a faster rate, you may have more cultists, sappers, and more aggressive dogs and lastly you may take increased damage. It's important to test all of these variables in a hardcore setting. Now I don't disagree with the idea of getting another US server online for the regular difficulty. The Texas one is packed 50/50 all night long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axeman Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Land sharks are on all servers, until the next patch. Then we're gonna randomly hide them under the beds ;) Have yet to see a single instance when changing something in Arma didn't have unexpected results.
