So how soon before the first DLC? And what effect will they have?
OrLoK replied to rickyriot's topic in General Discussion
Hello there All the DLC content will be fully available to everyone in the Arma3 Bundle unless there has been a major shift in policy that im unaware of. As to DLC's, Im not fussed. I was buying them for OFP and ill continue to for Arma and DAYZ if they happen. I didnt originally buy the Czech Army DLC for Arma2 and not owning it had zero impact on my gameplay and I would not have bought the Karts DLC (fortunately a lovely forum member gifted it to me). However I dislike DLC's which split the community or enable pay to win. Bohemia, AFAIK dont ever plan to do that way, and id be surprised if they did. IMHO "These arnt the droids you are looking for, Move along" Rgds LoK -
Ammo Calibration : Poll & Discussion

Hello there And what would be wrong with that? Its just part of life. And fyi one doesn't need to have exclusively tampons, there are other things. Regardless, get back on topic please. Rgds LoK -

OrLoK replied to rickyriot's topic in General Discussion
Hello there Any DLC will be most likely handled in a similar way to Arma, When content is released EVERYONE gets it and EVERYONE can use it. The difference is lower res textures and sounds etc for those who dont wish to pay. In actual gameplay terms it doesnt really alter much. I think DLCs are a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way off and are not worth worrying about at the moment. Modding is what fractures the community to a degree not DLCs.

Ammo Calibration : Poll & Discussion
OrLoK replied to stielhandgranate's topic in General Discussion
Hello There You cannot speak for the devs, so do not state that more streamlining is to come. You simply do not know. Also, remember EVERYTHING is subject to change at this stage. All we can do is discuss the issues that are present now and propose solutions/compromises. Lastly, the devs ARE building a stable foundation. Thats what is happening at the moment. Rgds LoK -

Ammo Calibration : Poll & Discussion
OrLoK replied to stielhandgranate's topic in General Discussion
Hello there I do "get it" though and how irritating it will be for some but what difference would really be seen in game and again what difference was there in the Arma series? IF there were a visible and effective difference that was perceivable in game then I would be far more on your guys "side". In an ideal world Id like a "reciever" way of operating weapons, at the moment no matter what weapon one uses you dont have safeties and are unable to field strip them etc etc etc, I assign the "sub" calibers to this area. There's lots missing, but I see how folk can think of it as a step back. Rgds LoK -
Ammo Calibration : Poll & Discussion
OrLoK replied to stielhandgranate's topic in General Discussion
Hello there You are not going to like me, but yeah, I consider (rightly or wrongly) 7.62 as a general type. As .45 or 9mm or 5.56 or fmj or hp etc etc etc Now hold on, before you throw bricks at your monitor, Im not saying im correct BUT for the average gamer and the effect that will be visible in game, to me, its much of a muchness. Would I like "sub" rounds and exotics like Glazer etc? Hell yeah, but I can see for simplicity's sake why the devs might bunch the rounds into "main" groups. I dont want to see any further simplification though. ie pistol rounds/rifle rounds etc. Have you guys ever really noticed any difference in these round types in A1/A2/A3? I know I havnt. I usually go with a rifle which I know I can hit things with or grab an Opfor weapon as I know ammo will be plentiful. Ammo type has rarely com into it. Again this is just my opinion not a definitive "dev" statement. Rgds LoK -
Ammo Calibration : Poll & Discussion
OrLoK replied to stielhandgranate's topic in General Discussion
Hello there I personally see no issue with simplifying the ammo types from their "sub" calibers. As to weapon dispersion, although i might not be as angry as Gibonez about it I dont like any artificial randomeness other than windage, drop etc. But remember its early days and things haven't been "tweaked" so I would get too worried about that. Back to calibres, most folk wont even realise that there are differing types and tbh I've never really thought about em in all my Arma Years. I just pick up what "works" and stuff it in my weapon. The only real difference Ive ever thought about is tracer rounds vs "normal" So, for me losing the "sub" calibres is not an issue, I do see how gun nuts might find it irritating though. Lets see how it pans out. Rgds LoK -
Devs: Stop being lazy, give us different types of ammunition
OrLoK replied to stielhandgranate's topic in Suggestions
Hello there Im not tolerating folk calling the dev's lazy anymore. Its untrue and just upsetting. Use the search tool youll find a pre existing thread on this topic and what Chris' post really means. Closing. Rgds LoK -
Hello there There was a mauser in early preview shots, Im going for that then the Lee Enfield. But knowing the dev's capacity for throwing odd stuff at us it could well be a De Lisle Carbine. Rgds LoK

Hello there I think we've all had some "hilarity" from this but as the thread is getting spikey and grumpy and is derailed to a large degree I shall close it. I think OP now knows hitting grills is not inlegal. Rgds LoK

Hello there I would adore it if the 1st aid you learned in game was applicable to real life. Might save one someday. Dont think it'll be practical though. Rgds LoK

Hello there I too completely see the need for an in game map such as we have. I like to play the game as intended, to me, using the internet maps (as well made as they are) a cheat. I may not be able to see where the phattest lewt spawns but no real map I know does that either. However, there *is* some room for improvement but its still early days yet. Rgds LoK

Hello there Having never played BP I cant attest to it being "good" or "bad" or a shade of grey inbetween. What I would like is a map the size of Altis. I like my encounters with people to be rare and uncommon, to me it adds to the tension. On the other hand Altis eats my cpu. Oh well, cant have everything. Rgds LoK

Hello there It would be nice if it were an option. As not all of us are privileged enough to have acres of free hdd space, so it would be nice just to download for many. Rgds LoK
