[King of kong 1117]

I call it like the poch in apocalypse, only with an E. Welcome to the Epochalypse

[dimitri3p0 99]

Fluxley is correct, although accents and dialects do play a role in pronunciation, so, no need to self deprecate, even though I always appreciate modesty.

 

Cheers.

At actually has multiple pronunciations depending on where you are from.

It tends to be pronounced : ee-pok or eh-puk (Very similar to the word 'epic').

ee-pok is a more British pronunciation where as eh-puk is used in the US in a lot of places.

Here is the two pronunciations.

My friends and I say it both ways and both ways are correct. I was "corrected" by a friend till I pulled out a dictionary and showed him the pronunciation guide for the word.

You know... I don't get all the butthurt some people have towards that mod. The vanilla version of it is about as tough as Vanilla DayZ. 

[klesh 2423]

It's not "butthurt" as you like to call it (what a terrible term btw).  Its simply not in the spirit of DayZ, and is just like Wasteland with a pinch of zombies for scenery.  Safe zones?  The whole thing smells of something that shouldn't even be a topic of discussion on this forum.

What "Safezones"? 

I don't think you have played vanilla Epoch. ;)

 

 

To add your server to our official servers page you must abide by a few basic rules. Official server admins will receive extra help with server issues from the developers at no cost. Early access to new builds and access to development servers to beta test new features.

 

1. No extra custom mods, vanilla epoch only. Anti-Hacks are accepted.

2. Server Admins may never spawn free gold or vehicles. (except in the case of compensation for reported bugs or server wide events.)

3. Cannot drastically change vanilla epoch settings (i.e. 1000 vehicles).

4. Server admins can enforce and should encourage RP-PVP.

5. No PVP safe zones or trader city protections of any kind.

 

Make a post in this thread including gametracker status image and one of our team will verify your servers settings and get your server listed as an official DayzEpoch.com server.

Nope just Musty Epoch.

[mercules 1290]

Nope just Musty Epoch.

 

So the basis for your judgement is akin to saying Vanilla DayZ sucks because private non-vanilla hives allow rocket launchers?  <_<

[klesh 2423]

Yes. Its RamboZ and it doesnt belong here. Sorry.

[mercules 1290]

Yes. Its RamboZ and it doesnt belong here. Sorry.

 

Just to be clear... 

 

Epoch sucks because a feature that has NOTHING to do with Epoch and is not part of Epoch itself but was on an private and custom Epoch server you played once sucks? Are you seeing logical disconnection you are having here?

[klesh 2423]

Okay forget about safe zones. Its still RamboZ, still sucks, and still doesnt belong here. Its an opinion.

[mercules 1290]

Yes, it is an opinion, and opinion not backed up by reasoning or fact is basically worth nothing. Can you give us some reasons it sucks? You haven't even PLAYED the actual mod just a custom version of it so you really don't have an educated opinion to even give. This would be like me saying I don't like the handling of the Chrysler LeBarron but the only one I drove had a lift kit with oversized low profile tires that totally changed what the handling of the car would be. From that I decided ALL Chrysler LeBarron's didn't handle well. Or maybe saying I didn't like the leg room of Toyotas because one model I drove didn't have much leg room totally ignoring that it was a sub-compact model and a lot of the other ones actually have leg room. 

I am really annoyed by the people who think that because something is an opinion it is magically untouchable by logic and valid. Opinions can be wrong and frequently are when based off of ignorance and supposition such as is the case here.

 

[klesh 2423]

You spend too much time caring what I think.
