Your epoch base.

[Jayz1331 62]

Ok, so far i have played around 15 hours on the arma2 mod on an epoch server and have just started building a base with my 2 brothers, im curious to see what other people have built aswell as what is even possible.

 

i saw a video of a sky base that was only accessible by helicopter but i have come to the conclusion that if i landed a helicopter on the roof of a base it would glitch through and fall to the ground on restart? Aswell as if you logged out above ground you would then glitch through and fall like the vehicles. Can this be confirmed as i have yet to test it myself.

 

I am mainly making this thread to see what others have built aswell as new ideas, Il post a picture of my freshly started base as soon as i get the chance, but im very interested in the idea of a sky base even though accessing it would be pritty easy aswell as people being able to spot it due to it floating in mid air.

 

what are your ideas?

Was a problem in the past, as far as I am aware, as they made the vehicles spawn before the buildings, but that has changed now. The objects stream before the vehicles do and your character only joins the server when you're done anyway.

 

In short: nothing will fall through anything.

we took over once Castle Rog, it was huge but admins removed it. Caused lag on the server apparently. Now we got Green Mountain and is almost as huge as Rog. Ill post pictures later, when I can access computer again :)

thanks for confirming this, also aamunkajo, how did you manage to gather all the materials needed as we are having a hard time getting what we need.

[Aamunkajo 110]

There is 10 of us + it took 4 months to make Rog. Green Mountain was given to us as they removed our castle base.

Forgot to mention, that we had a water base 1km from shore, took 2 weeks to make the floor to get there... wasnt very big. Also found A base 1km in the air. Dont recommend these ones that much, you need to have campfires there so you dont die :).

This happens when you place too many items. But i wonder that your base was the only cause, i'm pretty sure there were a ton of other bases? A buddy built a kind of 25x25m 2 1/2 story base only people who saw it had some fps issues. We had 3-4 similar sized bases ( one was really overloaded with items ) on the old server without having any kind of problems, another server ( PVE ) had tons of bases and it already had an impact when you were at the coast so it must be the server hardware.

There are tons of bases, they removed several. Mostly those which were abandoned.

They should have made a plot pole obligatory so people have to "maintain" their base even if it costs nothing but the time they have to log in and perform the action. Of course the server load will be magnified if placed items never disappear when players stop playing on the server.

Yeah I agree with the maintance.

i only started playin recently and never realised i needed to maintain, ended up losing like 4 walls and the second story due to it.
