kikinshits Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 I and about 7 other friends would love if we could spawn a bicycle from a toolkit like in the Arma 2 mod. Are there any plans in the works for this? I asked Kiory on his stream and he said he didnt think so. Maybe one of you could elaborate on why not? I think it adds a lot to the pace of the game, and makes it so much more fun than the other arma 2 mods for me, as theres more chance of getting back into the action! Thanks for the mod, you guys are amazing! Gotcha, happysan and PuffY187 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home Sweet Home Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Yes, please! I don't understand why it was not in ArmA III. So much is missing compared to ArmAII that was in there from the start. Animals, female characters, generally more variety and, obviously, a bicycle.

DrScandalous Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 I'm making that song my sig. :P Back in the day on A2 when spawning with a bike was the "new thing" when I streamed I'd set up a scene in OBS that would start playing this song as soon as I triggered it/hopped on the bike. :) Ahhhh, the good old days....

Ryansgotacbr Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 idk about this one. the vehicles in arma 3 seem to be way quieter than a2. bikes were convenient but we now have spawns east to west close to the middle of the map. can you imagine building a bike as soon as you spawn in? might as well just teleport to where you want to go. of course this is talking about chernarus. altis...well youre fucked that map is huge. so really its hard to balance between all the maps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joemiken Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 I seem to remember there being an issue with two-wheeled vehicles being troublesome in A3. 4-wheeled vics are a PITA as it is. I can see two-wheeled being insta-kills when they fall over. I maintain my previous stance that craftable go-karts is where it's at. Make it something like 1 large scrap, 1 electronic board & 1 small scrap to craft so they're not everywhere. Might need to make them despawn on restart and non-sellable for balance. patter2012 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ebike is 2 wheels, crashed them a few times, never been killed when it fell over though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patter2012 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 i would love to have it so the go kart can only be crafted or deployed then id remove them off the map and traders so that they would only be used for quick transport to a base for fresh spawn or if you damage your car atleast your not stuck and have to run for miles on atlis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker101 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 The Ebike is 2 wheels, crashed them a few times, never been killed when it fell over though That's because unless it explodes player is invincible while on the e bike (to get around rather glitchy deaths I imagine). Have someone try to shoot you off, it's rather funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanVonTrap Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Not sure about a go kart in my back pack but a mini moto would be awesome. In case you don't know what one is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikinshits Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Any form of personal transport with a speed of around 50km/h would be a game changer for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zupa Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Don't give people the ways to spawn them, if they implement an actualy bike ingame i'll sell them at trader for low ammount of coins, so u have to loot some stuff first and sell that . But i won't put them as item in the trader , but as scroll option, "Buy bike 10c" ( for example) th3c0re and DanVonTrap 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikinshits Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 But not having to run from the start is something that set epoch apart for me. It meant if you were having a firefight, you could feasibly get back into the action. Not to mention quietly! Pinkyizthebrain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kikinshits Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 It would be great to get some input from an Epoch Dev, is there an obvious technical problem that i'm missing? Or do the devs think the bike will ruin the mechanics of the game? Any info or explanations would be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 It would be great to get some input from an Epoch Dev, is there an obvious technical problem that i'm missing? There isn't one made, that would be my guess :) They (Epoch devs) can use any BIS assest from the base game, there is a bike addon but that requires permission from the author, most likely they'll create custom vehicles just like the E-bike, I doubt it's a priority at the minute with the current bugs. Awol said that the game version 0.2.5.2 means they're 25% done, the best is yet to come from Epoch :d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikinshits Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Its understandable that they are working on bugs first, absolutely, but surely they have permission if they were using the Stormtrooper bike in Arma 2? There are screenshots of it in Arma 3, so I can only assume it is at least feasible. I'm looking forward to the future of Arma 3 epoch too! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
