shurix Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Hi. Do you know if target locking was removed in Epoch? I cannot lock on an aerial target using Titan + Titan AA rockets. Also, cannot lock on ground vehicles using Titan AT rockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank You in advance Greez KiloSwiss How about this, what if you just ignore posts like this, that contains questions about weapons and attack vehicles on epoch servers? Im pretty sure the server admin is entitled to add whatever he/she wants to his/her server....And HEY....WHO KNOWS, maybe someone actually want to play on an EPOCH server with the stuff EPOCH has to offer. And at the same time have fun with more weapon types than Ruger, MX, MK and Lynx? Ever tought about that before you post these arrogant replies on every topic that contains servers with "nonstandard" epoch objects? Nobody is forcing you to assist or guide people to the right direction on everything beeing posted here, you can freely just ignore it and move over to help what interrests YOU. I can see countless replies from you regarding this and its starting to annoy me alittle.

0 nedfox Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I tend to agree with Kilo on this, but understand the question; ADHD youngsters just don't catch the idea of EPOCH, and want a full blown all out armed combat sim with basebuilding. Since playing Epoch is BORING. RIGHT? Which then turns into posts about base building to be "bugged, crap, physics sucks balls, "can we have easy mode on building" , "I only want to play on servers where admins hand me a prebuilt base". If you want a milsim, go play Wasteland. If you want to play Epoch, feel free to ask about things that involves surviving on an island after Judgement day, where no armor survived :) Kilo, others and me will keep pointing towards Wasteland as solution for all your rocket launcher, AA missile and tank problems. To the OP : Epoch isn't aimed towards rocket launchers, and we don't want to spend time on sorting that crap either.. Go learn scripting and see, we CBA.

Can you be more pretentious? Seriously, this is a mod based on a MILITARY SIMULATOR. If you don't like that fact, then IDK what to tell you. Oh and by the way, DayZ (which epoch was based upon) had blocked out all militarized vehicles and "too op" weapons completely by overriding their classes in the config.bin file. DayZEpoch was one of the first major DayZ mods that opened this all up for us to play with. There was another, forget the name but it was poorly implemented. Hell, that's one of the reasons I stuck around with epoch when it first came out. None of the other mods allowed admins the amount of control over their own server like epoch did. So get off your high horse and try to understand that people may want to play this game a bit more differently than you do and quit trying to stifle creativity!

0 nedfox Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 wow what a duchebag. It's douchebag. Learn your memes. Listen, when admins come here with questions that cannot be sorted in a limited game like Epoch, where the devs took much time to make it a survival game, and admins still wanting to have a full blown milsim, most *epoch loving* ppl will answer like I did : Get Wasteland, and have a blast... It's the same as going to WOW forums and asking for "how do I get a 120 power character so I can waste everyone and laugh at them".. It's pointless, unbalanced, and not part of what Epoch stands for.

0 Moody Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I would suggest that you stop creating missions with high loottable rewards then. Since epoch is all about running kilometer after kilometer, from town to town, finding that one can of meatballs and that one ruger gun:) kinda talking against yourself now, as your missions are providing military weapons(among other things) that is (and i quote:) "ruining the whole survival aspect of epoch." Maybe you should head over to wasteland forum ane publish your missions? hambeast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cause you want to play the game the way you want, doesn't mean you should berate others for playing in a different style. Once again, the beauty of this mod is the fact that it is moddable by the community! If you want to run a server where nobody has guns, only hatchets, go for it! If you want to run a server where everyone spawns with a rocket launcher and a tank, do it. But don't think for a minute that cause you said so, I'm going to give a damn about your opinion on how to run my server. computermancer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 hambeast Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 one more thing. If you want such a realistic survival experience how about you get off your fat ass and go backpacking in the woods for a week. Instead you are playing keyboard warrior infront of your computer preaching to others about the merits of a "pure" survival mod, while dudes in robes shoot fireballs at you, give me a break. computermancer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 KiloSwiss Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I would suggest that you stop creating missions with high loottable rewards then.The next Update of #SEM will indeed have way, way less weapons (the current loot is truly overkill, I don't like it!) and the loot that's spawning at missions, will be more oriented towards fitting #SEM better into the whole Epoch scenario.But then, any admin can change the loot so players find 10 Sniper Rifles, 5 LMGs and 2 RL at every mission, it's up to the server owners to run their server and edit every script they add the way they want.I'm just pointing out the stupidity in some of the "not so well thought through" decisions many of these players who rent a server (I still refuse to call them admins) make, and I do have a point. @hambeastYour logic could also be applied to anyone who wants to play Arma as a mil sim, why don't they go and join the army or sign a contract with BlackWater or any other PMC? That's a very flawed logic!Please do not confuse realism with reality, we are still talking about a game here.Good night everyoneGreez KiloSwiss btw.A server admin who cares and runs #SEM, probably has degraded the loot manually by himself.

0 computermancer Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Wow, you guys are ridiculous. Epoch is not only about survival, and not having weapons... it's also about building. The reason I play Epoch is for the building system as well some of their other mechanics. And yes, I do want rocket launchers, so what? That's the post-apocalyptic world I want to play in. That's why I am an admin and scripter and not just a player ...or crybaby... or sh*t talker.... though I would really love to return the hate and ignorant comments. I just don't understand why you would come to this thread to simply talk sh*t.... What if I went to your SEM thread and said the following... "EDIT: I REMOVED IT BECAUSE I THINK IT WAS TOO MEAN... BUT SERIOUSLY, WHATS THE POINT OF COMING IN HERE IF NOT TO HELP?" How's that make you feel Good? because based on the way you are treating others, it seems this is the way you want to be treated. Do you want me to go on? That was not even a quarter of how much dumb stuff I can say. Next time I see you post something demeaning and negative, I will begin trolling all your threads to see how you like pointless, unnecessary, and unwanted comments. Make a thread called "Come here so I can talk sh*t to you" Then you can say all the ignorant things you want. That's my 2 cents, luckily for you, I don't have anymore time to waste on ignorant folks like ... *ahem*...well, we know who... ... and you know who you are. hambeast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 KiloSwiss Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Just a littl einformation: this thread here was originally created in the "General Discussion." forum, that's why I made my first post. Now back to the current topic: We can all have different opinions and everyone can run his server the way he wants, but the following Thread, was not created by the devs. without any reason or meaning behind it: Guidelines: 1) DO NOT pander to your players - This is a survival experience ! Before giving in and making it easy for them, think how you can make them earn it and want it, and please make it painful, maybe a sea of sappers, just a suggestion. Talking about ignorance: Ignorant are those people that have tons of gamemodes/missions/mods (some even have some form of basebuilding) where they can play fully geared one army soldiers, flying jets, driving tanks etc., but still they join every of the very few successful survival mission/mod communitys and dumb it down to what already exists. Again: It already exists, no need to forcefully create another clone of "Easy Mode Wasteland" as it happened with ArmA2 DayZ Mod, happened with ArmA2 Wasteland (which had only a small part of survival but still got dumbed down) and now it happens here with the new Epoch Mod. I create those posts to defend one of the last great survival based mods in the Armaverse from being dumbed down by a ruthless community, and I do it by showing the people who want to do so, that there already exist a lot of alternatives that suit the playstyle they are looking for, all in the hope they will move on to one of those and let Epoch be about survival. @computermancer Don't try to get personal, we all know You're better than that.

Question

Hi. Do you know if target locking was removed in Epoch? I cannot lock on an aerial target using Titan + Titan AA rockets.
Also, cannot lock on ground vehicles using Titan AT rockets.
