SorryImSoAce Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Hi there, I just registered because I have a few questions. I am a long time Epoch/Overpoch player with absolutely zero knowledge of scripting or modding etc so don't be offended by anything ridiculous. Can anyone tell me if there are, or ever will be, servers on Arma 3 which are like the Arma 2 version of the mod? So basically the same traders, missions, base-building as an Arma 2 DayZ Epoch server but in Arma 3 with the better graphics and mechanics etc. Also I have an idea which could improve kill on sight; The ability to 'like' or 'dislike' a player from the screen that shows all of the players in a list, with a HUD feature which shows whether or not you like the player you are looking at and if you shoot at them, they can kill you with no penalty or maybe humanity reward.. Then this could better distribute Humanity if players only kill those that they 'disliked' and bandits do not have the ability to like or dislike players. This idea isn't perfect and maybe sounds better in my head but could be adapted upon to try create incentive to not just kill everyone, which is what I feel this mod really needs. I also think roaming police AI could be good, kind of like the Sarge AI that shoot at bandits, help survivors and heroes, kill zombies and maybe give medical treatment. Maybe increased health, less scope sway and better accuracy for players with high humanity, because we all know they are at a disadvantage against backstabbers or KOS players. This is another incentive not to kill innocent players and bandits will have something to fear. I know this maybe crossing the 'levelling up/RPG' boundary but this could be fun and add a new spin on to the game and, I think, make it more fun for survivors, heroes, bandits AND kill on sight players. Arma 3 has massive potential though and look forward to seeing what is actually done. Thanks for reading :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axle Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 You can't fully make arma 2 dayz epoch work with arma 3 as the dayz assets are not allowed to be used in Arma 3. It could be done if written from scratch and new assets were added but we might as well make a new mod if we are doing that, which we did.

SorryImSoAce Posted April 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Ok thanks for the reply. I'm not really a fan of the new building system but maybe I just need to get used to it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Solem Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Ok thanks for the reply. I'm not really a fan of the new building system but maybe I just need to get used to it more. The building system is unfinished still, wait until you see what you have in store :) PryMary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dknight903 Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Quick question, What was wrong with the old one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtSparraGump Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 It did not have any built in physics to it? could build never ending towers, ergo bases in epoch 3 are both realistic (which is what the aim is) and the chances of raiding without having to get through bs defences is alot greater.

SkyDogs Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Now that the distracting, restrictive MANW contest is over, I'd love to see the dev team create zombies for the game. You know, as an alternative to the theme we endure now? A little bird tells me that Axle is now a creative member of the team. Keep streaming those baby steps, buddy. Lol.

I am actually slowly runing out of hope as I keep saying to my self it still early alphabut but yet with each new update i am finding it less enjoyable. that rock guy is gonna be fun for 2 mins if at all, its not gonna excite any players, or bring them back, i mean i can imagine the converstation i will be having with my group, which is often come back lets play epoch, it has a new creature its a moving rock as well as a sapper boss that blows up you know that sapper u liked .. Yea right! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SorryImSoAce Posted April 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Yes I only play Arma 2 Overpoch because I just prefer it. I just wish it had the graphics and performance that the Ama 3 engine is more capable of. Thanks for the replies guys I have no problem with just sticking to Arma 2. :) knights†emplar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea right! lol what rock guy? Never saw anything. I thought it was a hoax and the new creature is a Phantom with boss sapper (which is just like a walking satchel). So how does it look like? Any screenshots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
