mimic Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I'm just curious as to why the devs decided to include DLC vehicles in the allowedVehiclesList, and have them spawn? Pros: Wider variety of vehicles in the game Cons: Not an equal playing field for players (some have access to vehicles, while others don't) Can't even ride as passenger Ambush a player with a DLC vehicle and you can't even take it Forcing players to buy the DLC's to take full advantage of the game For me the Cons well outweigh the Pros. I don't think that DLC vehicles should be included in the dynamic spawn table. It's just not fair to those that don't have the DLC, and don't intend on buying them. Just my 2¢.

Osiris72 Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Not just the vehicles, the clothes (racing uniforms, etc). Never been so disappointed when opening up a wardrobe and seeing a racing suit or starter pistol when there could be some usable clothing and weapon there instead.

Richie Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Our Wasteland server is coded so non-DLC players can still be passengers, Epoch could do the same :) I have the DLC, love it and don't mind supporting BIS SWAT_BigBear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Maybe some servers will not have the DLC vehicles and you could play on those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbawol Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 We will be supporting all the DLC content from BI, the fact that some cannot use them is more of an issue with the way they handle the DLC content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seabear69s Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 DLC or no DLC, You can be a passenger of the new choppers. You can not be a Pilot, Co-Pilot, or Loadmaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GasT Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Of course DLC content should be in Epoch. Can't wait for the Marksman DLC. crckdns and Sequisha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 We will be supporting all the DLC content from BI, the fact that some cannot use them is more of an issue with the way they handle the DLC content. My issue with the DLC vehicles is that we only use the model right? I don't take issue with them wanting $ for the extra content they created, but having to pay for the flight model when I just want to jump in a model in Epoch seems crazy. Can't the models be cloned for the mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Join my Wasteland server, you can be a passenger because the Wasteland devs coded it that way, you can't fly them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeepFlows Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Considering the mileage we are getting out of ARMA 3 and the effort BI are putting into developing the platform, I think some active encouragement to cough up a few extra $ for extra content is reasonable. Chances are that we can afford it if we are sitting in front of the kind of pc that can handle A3 multiplayer. GasT and Nic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cring0 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 You were able to get in passenger when they first released the DLC, but I think they changed it at some point. At least I've heard quite a few times lately where people are complaining about it. If you run your own server you could remove the content from the loot tables. If Epoch devs removed the DLC content BI would get pissed, naturally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I have the DLC, why would i remove it ? Non-DLC players can just ignore the DLC vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cring0 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I have the DLC, why would i remove it ? Non-DLC players can just ignore the DLC vehicles. Gadamn I've circled nearly the entire map on foot and haven't found-- OMG ITS A HEL-- ugh another one I can't even touch. But yeah, I mean I won't be removing it from my server. But then not many people play on it so there are vehicles everywhere. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Server admins can choose how many of each vehicle spawn, a balance needs to be found that pleases everyone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crckdns Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I bought the DLC Bundle Pack one week ago for about 13 Euro from an authorized key seller~ and I can tell, it is really worth it! Can't wait for the sniper DLC :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
