NEW DAYZ - Dayz Arma 3 Exile mod (How standalone should have been)

ColdAsIce said:
Real shame but they have learned almost nothing from the problems that existed within Arma 2. All these scripts running, that add loot spawns and any attempts at spawning hundreds of zombies, just cripples the servers.

I honestly thought the server issues in Arma 2 would be one of the biggest issues tackled in Arma 3 but they made the same mistakes again.

(In before Melbo states how amazing the pvp servers run without any of the Day Z/Wasteland/Life mod scripts :D )

I dont get what you mean tbh, i have never had a problem when playing on any A3 servers.

I'm talking about the reason you cannot fill the map with zombies and random loot spawns without killing the server.

Probably because it was never designed to handle thousands of AI zombies in-game.

Its what is essentially a good engine that just gets knackered because people are desperate to play with terribly animated and useless zombies for some reason.

that and that you tend to have to install another 10 mods just to play on a particular server, to run around hiding and collecting guns.

They could eventually add roaming hurds... Its not off the table, the amount thats been added in the past week on the dev server is shockingly good! I wouldn't be supprised if thats added down the line.

Z'ds in this imo are fantastic.

Considering Day Z is one of the main reasons Arma 2 started topping the Steam charts and the success of Day Z spurred other modders to really up their game in regards to content. Naively I thought Arma 3 would really focus down on multiplayer performance/mods and AI.

I keep checking out the odd stream to see if much has changed but it's still the exact same issues that plagued Arma 2. Don't get me wrong, I had probably some of my best gaming moments through Arma 2 but I also saw the limitations of the engine.

While there's no denying what you're saying, it's still is loved by many and is more the go to game for streamers/youtubers!

Something about its clunkyness that keeps me playing!

Proper Arma fanboi am i..... Never have guessed hey :p:p

Have you got any vids showing the Z'ds actually responding to anything or how they are different on CCG?

Not doubting you, just wanted to see where it is now without paying (as I was playing the standard CCG server last night and just found it full of idiots)
Click to expand...

As of right now the Z'd are being tweaked and worked on. Best to look at some streams and youtube videos. Changing quite a lot!

Surprised you haven't been streaming this Goon! Keep swinging by the Twitch channel whenever I see you load up Arma but it's always offline!

The issue at large is that Arma can, very easily cope with large numbers of AI. That's what the engine is designed to do. What it can't do is cope with inefficient scripts that naturally come with this type of design if you will. I have no doubt CCG will run well regardless of what they put on - their servers are well specced but more importantly, they keep things well organised. That's their saving grace.

Good point actually mate... I'l get it back up and streaming tonight! Had a crazy busy few weeks, just back off a stag last night! Will have it up by Friday night mate!

They're just added a new server on Esseker !
 
It is a ton work, even if you do manage to get it half as good as CCG and it takes off will likely cost you a lot of money to put on things like DDOS protection! Meh personally rather just pay £3.50 to support someone who knows what they're doing, plus supports the servers :D

BJN, got my stream working mate. Will put it live tonight. However will have a long long delay on it. No doubt be stream sniped

Our base is looking awesome atm. Installed some flood lights last night as the guys were saying the NVG night time raiders were picking them off. Having the flood lights blinds the NVG users!

Gonna put some 50cals on each corner over the next weeks to take out any attack choppers that try it on!

This game man..... Wow.

cOOL!!

lolism said:
Anyone tried Exile on Taviana yet? I've noticed there are quite a few servers popping up. Downloading Tavi now :D
Click to expand...

Tavi is the best map in the entire arma series imo... However, the server config is broken, a lot of the buildings you can walk through meaning people can wall hack!

Such a shame!!

Looks like namalsk is coming early this year. Probably my favourite map after chernarus. Though its eire playing it lone wolf.

Goon were are you playing at the moment?
Click to expand...

MGT Tavi mate. Welcome to join us, quite a few of us playing atm!

Taviana to me is the best map around! Cant get enough of it!
 
Spenj said:
I will pop on TS at some point this week mate. Remembet countless hours spent on MGT A2 Tavi at the molotvsk base.
Click to expand...

Haha yes mateeee! Good times.

We eventually went to CCG and put a base north of Etanovsk next to the high way. We had such a big base we had daily attacks... in the end some clan bought like 6 busses and out of the trees one night came all these busses.... was so so funny!

Best game ever.

namalsk was one of my fav maps but its not the same on arma 3 and it lags super hard. :(

namalsk main feature was the town of vorkuta and the skyscrapers many of us had battles on. in the arma 3 version you cant go up them.
Click to expand...

Wrong... you can indeed go on the roofs.

Been going up and down them on breaking point mod for months :D

Anyway, that's not why I came in here to post. Got a decent clan together of about 8 guys on Breaking Point. Were talking last night and we fancy a bit of Exile to break up the play.

Can anyone recommend some good NON Altis/Cherno servers, preferably something with a steady player base.
Click to expand...

I'd say MGT, however the numbers on Taviana lately have been dropping.

What map would you be looking for?

For fans of Chernarus from the Arma 2 DayZ mod, there's Desolation for Arma 3 I have just seen, but a bit late as I saw a video posted from 13th December. Anyone using this ?
Click to expand...

I thought BIS shut down Desolation due to the simularity to SA?

SixTwoSix said:
We honestly don't mind as long as it's not cherno/altis, we have a shared hatred/boredom of those maps.
Click to expand...

You should give Taviana a go dude, the only down side to it, its too big. Not as big as Cherno, but everything is more spread out over a smaller distance. If they got rid of the extra islands it would have been far better!

Tho, i'm waiting for Namalsk, should be out within the next few weeks!
 
SixTwoSix said:
I'll chat with the guys online later. Everyone has spent the last few days getting all conceivable Exile suggested add ons installed as it's been impossible to get a game together with someone always missing something.

I've played Tavi before, I like it and Namalsk a lot. As long as there is a decent player base, we'll be online.
Click to expand...

MGT is by far the best stable Taviana, tho numbers have been dropping recently.

digitalx said:
@Thegoon, well I just played a version of Desolation on Arma 3, I see there's a few there but it definitely loaded everything correctly.

Arma 3 workshop > search > Desolation. It's the second one listed.
Click to expand...

Na bro, not for me. I'm done with vanilla type Dayz.

I've been playing on the EXO Cherno server tonight, absolultely amazing, loads of missions, constantly PvP and loads of money to be made. It was great, hardly any lone campers because there are so many missions and you can bulldoze missions if you're in a big group!

Shout out to Buck and Jimlad 2nite, good fire fights!!! Just waiting to find a ISP that will do Namalsk.

PS, Nobody should bother with CCG atm, they have reserved slots on and its literally impossible to get on there... Absolute joke!
 
Anybody looking for a server to tie you over until Namalsk come jump on the EXO servers, they're using CUP terrain, while i'm absolutely sick of Cherno this server is fantastic, has so many missions up at once nearly always leads to PvP or you get to get to get away with all the mission loot!

Been told the admin are upgrading peoples bases for free as the server is quite new!

Come jump on :D
