speaR Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 It took over 2 months to get the new update. And what does it contain for players ? Nothing new. There are some improvements for server owners, but really, really nothing new for players. In my oppinion building is the main part of epoch. So the only thing that epoch contains atm is the building system, a trader system and the loot system. A lot of players would love to see some new building parts (can also be seen here in feedbacks). Why didnt you add at least 1 or 2 new building supplies ? Just like a ladder or a cinder or metal floor so players could see that the developement is still going. Creating a Ladder or a floor isnt really that much work. Epoch is getting borring without improvements of its main parts. Edit: Just want to see If I'm the only one who sees it like this. Calm down please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 It brought a lot of changes for server admins to make use of, also 4 new maps officially supported. Panduhh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speaR Posted July 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Theres nothing wrong with it, its nice that there are added/given a lot of possibilities to change things, my point is that an update that takes so long to get released should bring some new innovation for players.

Richie Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 You have to remember that Epoch are a really small team, Awol does the majority of the coding, Axeman does all things Ai/antagonist. All of which is wrote from scratch for no money and they have jobs, family life etc Panduhh, Chainsaw Squirrel and Nic 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happydayz Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 im frustrated that they keep changing little things that make life hard if you've customised stuff... ie removed spawn box and made new portals etc... and now all the portals are offsets model to world...

dnk_paul Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 I think the it's actually heading in the right direction still. No, maybe there haven't been any more building parts added etc, but that's always been said to be coming in 0.4. There's no point doing huge updates for minor build releases. Keep them for the majors. Besides, I'm sure when new building parts are added for 0.4, that the server will need a wipe again which means that people will only complain about needing to wipe anyway. Also, there isn't any point in releasing updates every month, because all it does it add to the work of the server owners, and means more server downtime when they're updating things.. Also makes it hard for the scripters when little things change and require script updates all the time. Every few months is fine in my eyes. Definitely looking forward to 0.4 though! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely looking forward to 0.4 though! :D Might be true, but for what reason ? Why does it need a wipe? Dont see any reasons, adding new cars doesnt require a wipe so why should building parts do? Same DB.. (Correct me if I'm wrong, didn't need to wipe my a2 epoch server when adding custom building parts so it) If the updates are released without any changed structure of the server files its just copy and paste and 1-2 hours of work, but wouldnt updates which bring more stuff at one times be better then?

dnk_paul Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 But bigger updates would require more time. And the longer between the updates, the more people complain about how long it's been since the last update. What are the devs suppose to do? I'm not saying that any updates will require a DB wipe, and I dont know if they would or not, but I know it was advised for updating to 0.3 when that came out due to some of the changes they made. Everyone will always fine something to complain about. Richie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbawol Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 The version 0.3.0.4 is a small version change and is not meant to convey that major changes where made. The idea is to make sure that by the time we get to 0.4 we have a stable and tested platform. Major changes will come with larger version increases.

Chainsaw Squirrel Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Ive talked to a bunch of players today that are getting very low FPS and crashes since the 1.48 update, I updated client to 3.04 and the server Im playing on has been updated to 1.48 and 3.04, Ive also tried many other servers today including BetterDeadThanZeds server .. same issues all over .. works fine for about 20 mins then its starts getting 11-18 fps body glitches out .. cant see anything but backpack .. soon after client crashes.. I dont think its a epoch isssue.. and its not just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speaR Posted July 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 That escalated quickly. I'm glad that I dont run an a3 epoch server so that I dont have to worry about the occuring problems :D . And please relax, this was just some critism/feedback and a personal opinion. cen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
