DayZ Vet Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 I must admit i miss the old bike, stealthy, no fuel required and all round good vehicle. Terrifying but fun downhills lol Nic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choppra Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 I doubt well see it since Axel and Sequisha both made fun of every community live on their stream for using a deployable bike script along with self blood bagging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikinshits Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Oh, I'm not too keen on the self bloodbag tbh. The bike is brilliant tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopDog001 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Agree bring back mountain bike :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emwilsh Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 A folding mountain bike that can be folded into you inventory.. the sledge slot.. and can see on your back would be best but thats if it can be done officially Pinkyizthebrain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimh Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I'll kick this up, +1 for bikes. They just fit for sandbox and post-apocalypse. I know they will likely take up a vehicle slot to do, but we'll happily balance this by removing other unessential vehicles (gokarts, hatchbacks, rubber boats).

fr1nk Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Isn't there already a way to add temp bikes in that other thread? Really don't think the Epoch team would add this to the core mod.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't find what you're describing after doing a few forum searches. An addon script would be fine if somebody has got one working, doesn't have to be part of core. Just too bad I assume it'll require clients to download in addition to the mod as well, I know our player base will do it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have no idea what works and what doesn't in that thread, or the scope of file changes. I remember seeing the thread posted a while ago but never read through it.

nimh Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Ah yeah, that script made me laugh. Deployable... vehicles, is what he's got working, using the existing ebike, quad, or mosquito already in Epoch. Completely unbalancing in my opinion, and frankly unrealistic. I never really liked deployable bicycles in Arma 2 Epoch though, prefer that they had to be bought not crafted from a few pieces of scrap. I saw in another thread somebody mention a foldable bike that would take up the sledgehammer slot. This would be neat, however I still see a problem with the bicycle using up a vehicle slot on the server. I think just a simple, buy the bicycle from trader or find on map, limited supply on the server, and you own it just like a vehicle sounds cleanest. You could make them super cheap at trader, rent-a-bike, and despawn on restart too if somebody preferred that style. Pinkyizthebrain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Bump. Ffs is no one working on this? Or only mods you can get "donations" from?! There is already a bike addon, why not use it ? You won't get the Epoch devs to include it though, all clients will have to download the addon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikinshits Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 I dont understand why they wouldnt consider adding it? it makes a MASSIVE difference to gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVampire Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 I don't like them. Every server I've played on they became the primary method of travel and completed negated the use of vehicles. You popped a tire? Repack it. Need to logoff? Pack it up. Need to go somewhere? I've got a vehicle in my pocket. As for adding a bicycle, go for it, but I'd rather see new unique vehicles like the ebike. Maybe something like a bank truck or similar.

Agreed, "deployable" bicycles are not great, and don't even make sense from an immersive point of view. I would enjoy just bicycles on the map, like you find gokarts. The advantage being they're quiet, disadvantage being they are slower, break easy, and an exposed moving target while riding one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikinshits Posted February 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 You cant use realism as an argument in a game like this without expecting the same arguments to be made about lots of other features. The deployable bike is fantastic for gameplay, no-one is arguing that its realistic and so doesnt break immersion. Its essential to sacrifice realism for gameplay, otherwise you get a shitty game.
