    The direction they’ve taken since they failed to deliver helicopters in 2015 has just been a series of reneged promises and feature cuts.   

     

    This “new increased speed” isn’t even on par with the speed on the old engine and they are just re-implementing a fraction of what we we got to play during early access but now with crappy useless base-building.  

     

    The map work was almost entirely done in the old engine so we cant credit that.   The vehicles are still next to worthless as far as reliability is concerned and both melee and gunfights are the worst they’ve been since Arma 2.    

     

    We’ve basically been given the shaft and told we should be happy they put a few pieces of what we had back in maybe if they feel like it. 

     

     

    I went from the most enthusiastic and forgiving memeber of this community to just another disillusioned player among millions with the 1.0 and post 1.0 handling of this project.

    Hey Valdar,

    We were investigating and everything should be OK now. GSP fixed it. If you find any problems with these server just let me know. :)

    And the server crashes should be fixed in the next EXP update.

    Appreciate your hard work as always Batty, hope you enjoyed your holiday.

    Willing to help answer questions online here or on reddit u/Valdark2

    Also willing to help in game when I'm on which is mostly 10pm-4am CST Monday-Thursday though I'm sometimes available during the day as well. 

    Ive moved to mostly playing official servers but willing to establish myself elsewhere if need be.  

     

    Im not typically combat centric but do love running as a dedicated medic/zed control if there is a group that needs such things.    

     

    I also dont don't mind maintaining and transporting vehicles if I know someone will make use of them.

    No, It is not possible. We're not providing estimates. :)

    Not replying to this but couldn't find your earlier one on the 1pp US servers.

     

    I'd like to reiterate my comments from earlier since I know you were all on holiday.

     

    Only one of the US servers has consistently stayed online this weekend and it is connected to the 3pp hive character (ATL 4-274)

     

    The other US servers have only been on for brief periods since you mentioned making them 1pp both the other ATL server and the DAL servers were only available for a few hours from your changing them to 1pp till they reverted to 3pp servers.

     

    I really want to spend more time in the official servers but the 1pp servers seemed to be crashing frequently (while they were available) except for the one connected to the 3pp hive.

    Damn....

    I was just about to start getting set-up a 1PP public server.  Maybe I'll try anyways, for science. : (

    Yeah, something odd is happening with the official servers today.   

     

     

    I have two accounts and both had characters on both 1pp and 3pp servers as of this morning. 

     

     

    Now now I have no characters on either account.

    Ok odd,

     

     

    the 1pp DAL server from last night is gone and now I have a different 1pp DAL server that uses my 3pp character.  

     

    The DAL server I favorited last night no longer appears in my list. 

     

    The new one one that's connected to my 3pp hive character is DAL 4-100

     

    it appears ATL 4-274 also has the 3pp character.

    My favorited DAL 1pp server is back!   

     

    Thank you Batty.  I had actually taken a break due to the lack of decent servers (ATL issues and no 1pp US officials) for me to invest time in.  

     

    Just found out last night.  I work the weekend but expect me to be on regularly during the week now that I know I have a home base.

    If you look back on the previous page I posted that ColdAtrophy and I lost 2 vehicles and 2 barrels on this same server. :/

    Since then I have avoided that server (even though I am not building a camp, having vehicles stick is pretty important between restarts), and play on one of the 16 UK 1PP servers.

    Last night I played on a 3PP server that my friends frequent and it seemed persistence was working well there.

    I fear that server either has some settings messed up or that people crash duping might have borked the server somehow.

    So I guess basically our only 1PP server for the region is half fucked.

    Well fuckall.   

     

    I had two 1pp official servers marked (one DAL and one TX both under 40 ping) and both went 3pp with the latest update.  

     

    Sucks because With the split I'm finally interested in playing public again except they took all my servers.

    Hi @Baty Alquawen,

    We currently have only 1 first person server in the USA region.

    We had 2 but now one is gone.

    There are currently 16 UK servers for first person perspective.

    If possible, please make a request to either add back another US first person server or maybe swap out 1 or 2 UK servers for US region first person.

    Thank you.

     

    Wanted to check with you.   Have you had issues with persistence on the ATL server?   I've been loosing every barrel I place.  The first ones I can see being snagged but the second set seems unlikely.  

     

     

    Both times ones I came back only a few hours later but after a restart to find the barrels gone even though population was extremely low while I played.

    I know it's not really what we are testing but the weather is so good these last couple of builds. 

     

     

    Between the the incoming storm winds, the torrential downpours, and the heavy fogs I've had the most enjoyable experience from the environment alone.

    Spawned inland at Black Lake with no rock surfaces.

     

    No sharp objects  

     

    Couldn't make rags, fireplace or rope.

     

    Still raining. 

     

    Stayed alive by heating a cooking pot on pot on a gas stove and wearing it in my hoodie while picking apples in Olsha.

     

    Wasnt enough to keep me warm but it kept me from completely freezing.  

     

    Made my way way back to Sverograd hoping to make a stone knife on the beach from some rocks I mined at the crashed car South of Olsha.  

     

    Ran into  to a stranger there.   Traded his ability to make fire for a can of sardines I couldn't open.  

     

    Had to log.  

     

    Looking really good but suggest the ability to craft stone knife by striking two stones together in addition to at the surfaces since most inland stone surfaces have been removed with the map changes.

    Spawned in 3V, it's raining.   Warmed by the fire before heading inland with just my flare.  

     

    No food to be found.

     

    I find a couple of sodas on zed I take out but the pickings are slim and I'm having to stop at every house with a fireplace to warm up.

     

    Still no food.

     

    I find a sedan but promptly slide off the dirt road and high center on a log... these things weren't meant for muddy roads.

     

    I make it to mysta but I'm too cold to try picking apples and I'm loosing blood from starvation.

     

    I get cornered by this one so I have to fight her off.

    She has a can of peaches on her.  I cut it open with my stone knife and raise one to my mouth as I fall unconscious.

     

    This build is just about perfect.  Loving the visuals, no issues with performance so far.

    Berry bushes are working again.   Keeps me from having to enter towns while I'm out searching for game.   

     

     

    Now now if only they'd give me an advanced leather tanning option that didn't require some form of spawned loot I'd be a happy woodland hermit.

    Liking the color changes so far.  

     

     

    Was getting a slight stutter early on which went away after a few minutes.  

     

     

    Couldnt tell for certain but it seemed like it might be related to changes in wind direction.   

     

     

    Will I'll continue to look for a pattern when I can find time to hop on.
