The Future of Arma, Chernarus Life?

[SnR 1]

:mad: Its a colossal nightmare for admins, forums flood with complaints and un ban requests " Im so sorry it was my younger brother"

[TechnoTerrorist303 10]

With ARMA engine and its netcode, no thanks. I tried playing Chernarus Life a few times and while it's a cool concept and something I'd be definitely interested in playing, it is borderline unplayable because of the lag. That's with 15-20 people. I can't even imagine what would happen if 200+ people were playing at the same time.

I can tell you what would happen, you'd want to boil your own testicles.... This brings me back to my first post in this thread...

Boiled testicles sounds like the better option...

[Richey79 10]

If you like this style of play, you'd be better off playing Minecraft.

That, or something by Zynga.

Or maybe better off sticking to City Life? The only way for this type of game to work is if everyone has exactly the same mindset. It wouldn't work if BIS tried to make it an expansion.

That said, Nogville rocked. :D But that was a server full of people who already knew each other.

I find it to be no suprise that majority are saying this is a bad mission or bad mod...most of these guys are hardened military vets and gamers

Its like asking fish to breath air.

Role Playing servers is one of those game modes where the mode has to grow on the player. I loved games like GTA that to some extent simulate real life so naturaly I like Role playing on Arma. Most of you guys are saying you hate it or would not play it but if you got together with a group of guys one night and played and actually RP'd you would be back for more. Now depending on the server admin and the players that night, games don't always go smooth which is expected with any game mode. There is alway going to be someone who ruins a game or some problem. You learn to get around it. I play the hell out of warefare but that only can be soo fun for soo long. I use to be same with Coop missions but a friend talked me into playing a few times and now I play way more than I ever would. I think people are just being narrow minded. CLR and ZLR and other RP servers have a ways to go since there are not that many people scripting and making new versions probably why most are saying its a bad game mode.

OP, I agree with you, not entirely, but partially.

I never really played Arma 2 MP before at all, something I have only started doing in the last week or so. All the coop and warefare games have basically been people doing there own thing who usually dont bother responding to my questions to help me get aquainted with the game mode. In the Chen Life servers I have played however, everyone is a lot more social and helpful. Not only that but its LOADS of fun, the attention to detail in this mod is amazing and its just plain great fun.

Stayed up till 4am last night on a server when I told myself I was going to get an early night.

So I agree with you that this mod is awesome and we would like to see it deveoped further, however I dont think that is BIS's role. Their expertise lies in creating war simulations, I mean they do it for the world's militaries for God's sake, that is what they are good at, not creating RPGs...Though Im sure if they put their mind to it they could create a decent one, but that's not what they are here for.

BIS just create the flexible engine, the modders do the rest.

PS If any Chen Life modders read this, in any new versions, there should be some kind of counter when robbing the bank that takes longer than is currently the case, its too easy at the moment. Robbers should have to wait longer and increase their risk of being caught if they want to rob the bank. But otherwise an all round excellent mod well done.

No thanks, actually. Role playing I prefer to do in single player, where I'm assured other players won't ruin "my world". I'm hoping Arma3's campaign system will have elements from role playing (mainly dynamic questing system and so on, maybe rank increases that gives you more advanced quests etc). For multiplayer, I like to "play my role", pretty much regardless of mission - as much as possible. Cops and robbers? Not for me, I just prefer the life of a soldier.

leave that to the community, BIS will need to work on there bug fixing

I think you should keep in mind a few things. This is a game after all. Yes it's is A war simulator so naturally there are game modes related to war and the like. Now a game company can create it's content and put it out to you and I but if most of the buyers don't like the game then that company might want seriously consider doing something to their ccontent. Now im not saying the lack of Rp content from BIS is hurting the company in anyway but if you have a percentage of your players playing that mode it might be in your interest to provide some content for those players. Of course there are other paths the company can take.

Now im not a COD fanboy by any stretch but look at what those DEVS did with their last two games. There is a freaking zombie mode in there by popular demand. Just a case of giving players something they enjoy. This also does not mean break game design and lor to please players any way they can to keep sales up but a Rp DLC would be a harmless deviation from the battlefield. It is a simulation after all.

Like the guy above me said. BIS does need to work on their bugs lol. That is def true.

Still loving this game mode.

Last night had another game, didnt have much cash, so me an two other guys banded together and bought a boat and a car and started fishing. Being out on that boat with the sound of the water, just awesome, almost like being there.

Anyway, the two guys gave up the fishing and I banded together with another guy and we started whaling, excellent money in that 100K per whale, all the while there was a gang who had blockaded the road and were killing people at random. The cops were too scared to take them on (these guys were well armed). So we started to pay off the gang for free passage through their blockade.

Ended up making abouit 300k and donating it to some guy before I left. It was great fun. Hoping to do it all again today.

PS What is with cops taking it deadly seriously and not realising that it is a game just for fun?

[SPC.Spets 21]

FAIL! nobody plays that

[rangerpl 13]

Chernarus Life is fun, unfortunately the designers didn't realize what massive dicks people turn into on the internet, so there's always plenty of douchebaggery that goes on.

[Funkman 10]

Yeah last night we got loads of money, headed to terrorist isle and loaded up on hardware. Then on the way back over Chen, some cops shot us down with AA missiles....They hadnt caught us doing anything wrong, so they must have been spying with civi cam..Was pissed off. When I asked them why they did it, they didnt respond.
