Arma 3 Epoch Thread

Interacting with the world
Using your inventory key will allow you to access various menus/items such as; Vendors, Trashpiles, Inventory, Vehicles, Lootable items etc.
World Objects; These are objects such as trashpiles found throughout the map (Looks: Garbage bags, trashpile, trashcan, bags, baskets etc.)
Debug Menu; Press "~" to bring up the debug menu (Here you get a great overview of your "stats")
Krypto; The worlds currency ! You can buy/sell items at vendors to gain/spend Krypto !
Gold/Silver; Like ArmA 2 Epoch we still have gold and silver bars (Dropped by Sappers) These can be sold to traders in exchange for Krypto (More importantly, they can be stored)

Utility items
Scrap metal (Large/Small); These are used for a variety of craftable items (See crafting)
MultiGun; The multigun is a powerful tool that allows the player to do various tasks such as revive, repair and heal, the MultiGun uses energy/energy packs as ammo (Found one in a trashpile)

Missions

Shipment containers; Contains salvaged metal, bucket of motar, cinder blocks, backpacks etc. (Are marked as a red dot on the map)
Epi Center: Requires a sledgehammer, Walk up to the node at the epicenter and smash the hell out of it, continue untill "Search" option shows

Traders
Traders are located around the map (Marked with orange) These traders are not like the ArmA 2 DayZ Epoch traders with a set amount of item. Nope - ArmA 3 Epoch traders only sells items/vehicles that players have sold to the trader

Monsters
Sapper: A humanoid without arms, these guys explode when they get close to you! Juke and jive them to avoid getting annihilated or shoot them in the face from a distance.
Cultist: Cultist appear at night, they are wearing a black shrud and will throw a "Fireball" at you! They appear when your Soiled level is above 80.
Drone/AI: Drones let you know they are there, they have a very distict sound to them! Kill it before they transmit your location to a group of AI soldiers (Usually 3-5).



Loot
Lockbox; Yes.. It's real :sick: The legendary and shy lockbox does indeed exsist! You can loot them under beds, but chances are very slim! (Once you get it you can place it down, only you and group members will be able to unlock/lock it)
Churches; yields some very good loot (Weapon case etc)
Military Compounds; Great loot here!
Trash piles/Interactable stuff (Dumpsters/Wooden crates, Trash cans etc.)
 
We now have an Arma 3 Epoch Namalsk server

How to join

Download Arma 3 Launcher, make sure you have AiA pack (same as Chernarus) and Epoch 0252, then scroll to bottom of mods and install Namalsk 075, then filter MGT in the filters and join the Namalsk server, ip 176.31.182.149:5303

Ground loot spawns enabled as well as Epoch loot system
Confirming it has the spooky voices-on-the-wind and EMP storm things, though I haven't seen any bloodsucker things.. yet.
 
Will they actually be on? I reckon it would be A3 Epoch baddies only. Does the MGT cherno server have ground loot as well? I hate the Epoch default system.
 
Any errors? The ones I get most often with mods are when I'm trying to use the wrong version of something and I get a key / signing-type error.

I'm using Epoch 0.2.5.2 and Namalsk 0.75 from A3 Launcher and the AiA Terrain Pack 18.10.2014 from the Wasteland launcher (I think).
 
Anyone have any tips in regards to video settings? Even on low my FPS drops to 30ish in the big towns and my 280x is only powering a 1680x1050 screen.
 
never liked Namalsk , but the Dev team are setting up Panthera spawn points as i speak , check out Axles stream

deffo hosting a Panthera Server
 
so now i have a altis map and cherno map ,,,,,,,, with debug status bar at bottom and AI missions

The Altis map is picking player up more than the cherno ,,, i guess not meny peeps know that u need map pack for it haha
 
Absolutely loved the mod!! Has huge potential.

They need to change the base building a tad, lots of cool things about it... But doesn't have the same feel to it. Also the traders agrrrr.. This was a good few weeks since i've played it tho.

Looking forward to missions etc being introduced.
