Wasteland ARMA II Mos : Server Details

Yeah we're running the mod version, shame guys I think it has some potential and isn't 1.2 on the books soon aswell?

Like I said we're trialing it to see how it goes, I did try and mod it you're right its unmoddable its to do with the fact its on a shared Hive so it stops people spawning things in for themselves, think of it as an official DayZ hive so everyone running it is using the same version.

I have to agree what you guys have done with the wasteland mission file is great, very close if not on the sweet spot but as I've said I'd like there to be more independant slots personally.

If you guys change your mind I'd appreciate it if only to give it a bit of testing. The admin panel is a lot less filled out which is a bit of a shame and I'm not a fan of thermals, could always put a rolling message on saying no thermals and it'd be easy to see who has one using the player list.. bit of admin work but I'm not against that.

We'll have to see how it goes :)

and Melbo, its been like that for a while but you'd be better off speaking to the MGT head admin ;)
 
After leaving it on all day and watching the connections, not one person that connected had the mod installed so I've removed it. I think its one of those mods you need a good willing player base to try it and tbh if you guys at MBS were struggling then I dont think CPC has a chance with it either. Reverted it to the normal mission file.
 
Its a shame because I think the hive version would have some use.. but it looks to be a bit of a niche market. I wonder if just a hive for the structures might be popular?

Wasteland has evolved quite a bit since the original Tonic version. Tonic's version was pretty awful, you really had to scavenge for weapons. Similar to Day Z in that respect. The only plus point was vehicles were easy to come by.

There was a general excitement about having so many vehicles to play with after coming from a vanilla Day Z server. Remember getting a vehicle working in Day Z that lasted longer than 45 mins?(on a public hive) It was like winning the chernarus lottery!

Marker soon started tweaking Wasteland to how a bunch of us who were playing wanted it. We had everything from choppers spawning on a restart to random location for BTR90, BDRM2 etc that was without the missions adding more choppers and tanks. There were thermal weapons available from the gun store and more and more vehicles and fire power were being added all the time. Mortar anyone?

Bases were often build in really poor areas to defend. Electro/Cherno/Kamenka.

The mission file was scaled back a little and has been tweaked on a pretty much weekly basis. I really do enjoy what we have now. Except the base building on Altar and Klen. They are the two most unimaginative areas for a base and it bores me to tears.

The only idea I like from a hive aspect is the potential for smaller bases and weapon stashes being hidden deeper into the forest areas. This would certainly freshen up Wasteland, as at the moment I only see building trends go full circle.

My main worry is how to control cash accumulation and weapons stock piling. I think buying a .50 cal sniper rifle should be challenging. With persistence this would quickly get out of control. I don't think it would take many days before the majority of regulars would be rolling about in top gear.

So in conclusion to the history of Wasteland :D If you add persistence, then you need to make the end game weapons extremely difficult to come by. Including certain vehicles.
 
Persistence will kill Wasteland! The majority of people join the server when it has just been restarted. It's the best time to start, what with it being an even playing field. Also it will make more people disconnect when they die to prevent other people from taking their gear.

If the mod version ever becomes successful (and customizable) then I will certainly strip down most of the OP stuff and get rid of persistence.
 
You cant customise a mod, bease if you do then you need to issue new keys, which would be different from the original keys. Therefore making it a new mod...

Well we could do it if our entire player base would download it lol.
 
Yeah I like the theory behind it but the truth is, people are too lazy lol. Need a celeb to tweet it or something haha.

Like Witcher said, we've turned it off now and we're running our own server. I've noticed on your server your required build is 1.62.. are you not forcing people to use the beta?
 
I'm building a check-list for Robin:

  • Can exit a helicopter without it crashing X
  • Can build bases X
  • Can fire rockets further than 5 meters X
 
Actually ended up a good wee base defence tonight after all the crashes.. took a while to pick up again but eventually almost everyone seemed to have ended up at NWAF..

Was that more of them ddos attacks tonight that were crashing the server then aye?

You're right longbow, Robin was a walking disaster tonight lol.. also thinking Heli-heaven must be getting pretty full this last week or so since leon has taken to the skies...
I'm no airwolf but he's got some tally going lol.. let's just say great shout with the respawning heli's Marker, they've been needed lol..
