  2. NEW MODS.

    in General Discussion

    Hi Trouble

    So in terms of mods the simple answer is no we are not adding new Mods. The long answer and reason is that we don't want to force players to download more things to play on the server it puts people off, and while you can get some really good things it can result in a 30GB download and for some people that can take hours and hours, therefore we are not adding new mods, the exception is Extended base mod (see below)

    Slow downloadspeeds can be a real pain believe me, I live in the country and had to make do with 300-500kb/s for a long time, my solution was D/L overnight.

    New mods dont all have to be added at the same time it is something that can be done over a period of time, I know you dont like the "W" word so how would it be  if after a server "RESET":ph34r:  a new mod could be added every couple of months, It would spread the downloads and give the Devs time to look into each one, could even help to hold players longer if they know that every 2-3 months something new is on the way ?

    However this doesn't mean we are not doing anything, so VG (Virtual Garage) The only thing now left is to integrate it with the current XM8_Apps, as they are currently on different versions. Once this is sorted then this should be implemented.

    Sounds promising, would help reduce the vehicleparks that  put a 3rd world countries military to shame ( also helps server load you guys out there).

    The addition of Deploy vehicle is being added therefore Bikes are to be removed, no more road blocks.

    Lower end vehicles I hope, wouldnt want players calling in middle heavies at missions, just something to get from A>B.

    Extended Base Mod is coming, as soon as they remove a crippling bug from it which they have said they are doing.

    And finally in terms of ZCP, I need to talk to X8 about the setup of certain parameters. 

    Something that woud happen after a "W":ph34r: ? will have to see how the ZCP work out, did not realise that it was more PvP design, but X said he could work on the crate:D

     

    How would it be if all Armed Helicopters are put on the prestige list after a server "W" ?

    Just a quick couple of questions for our Dev Team. Are any of the mods that players have voted for over the last 3-4 months going to be implimented on OGG Arma Servers ? Which Mods if any ? And when? Does the OGG Dev Team have a road map for the Arma servers? Or is it more a look see what happens situation?

    It may just be me, but all I seem to read are reasons not to use them or they will be put on when somebody has time to do it, this has been going on for 3-4 months now. The Dev Team is not just you Trouble, there are 4 or 5 Devs.

  4. Feasibility of T-72 implementation

    in Suggestions

    Posted

    As X8 posted, the AI are badly under gunned atm , giving the players  T-72´s  etc without giving the AI a hard counter would make the missions to easy. If the AI get them aswell , then it could be a good thing, but be prepared to loose them. A price tag from 1 million tabs or 500,000 respect  sounds about right to me.

    Would it be a possible to take some of the suggestions that were made for server 1 and implement them on server 2 ? With the right mix it would create a totally different experience on that server, which could draw in more new players but also give the players from server 1 and server 3 an alternative without them leaving to play on another communities server. Just a thought .

     

    Edit: Its not about splitting the community, its about giving them more options to do what they would like to do , if they have more options then they will stick around longer.

    Personally I find that the Malden is to small for  PvE/ base building, when you have 20-30 flag poles up then you are basically in each others back garden. If you want to have 15-25 players on then you will need the missions to keep the players occupied, again this will cause problems because the map is to small and everybody will get in each others way.

    I have never really been a fan of zombie mods but hey some people enjoy them, but 99% of these players are happy on other servers for whatever reason and getting them to come on the OGG  server you have to offer them something new , something better and that is not the case with server 2 at the moment. Most players that I have talked to find it more annoying than fun so they don´t play there often, this is reflected by the average player numbers.

    Do I really have to list the options that are open to us when our forums are full of suggestions FROM THE PLAYERS!!

    On a side note, not understanding why certain things are being done on certain maps is classed as complaining, then maybe I should STFU and let you get on with it.

  17. ZCP

    As many as Troublesim , Dane and X8 think it needs, they are the guys that  look at the pro's and cons  of each Mod that goes on the servers. Be patient there are other servers in OGG that need tending to atm 😁

    P.S Spread the word on the server, the more that know the more votes it will hopefully get.

  21. Moderators Perhaps?

    in Suggestions

    Posted

     Only being able to give an opinion about the Arma 3 servers I had to vote No. Either you  become an Admin with all responsabilities, powers and perks or you just leave your fingers from it. I see no point in having  "moderators" on the Arma servers that will only be equipped with watered down powers. You gave an example that moderators should only be able to teleport/kick/mute players , these are things that in my opinion  should only be carried out by Admins!!  When a player needs to be kicked or muted then he / she is bordering on a permaban for whatever reason.

    I am not sure that this is even possible with the  Infistar Admin tool.

    All  Admins should know what they are letting themselves in for and that they are going to have to sacrifice some game time so that others can play and have fun.
