No one should be required to pay extra money and hire a server, or use their own machine to make a server just to enjoy what is advertised on the game page on the store. No i'm not important, just letting those who do know me know it's me. If this actually worked then there would be alot less issues with the system. I Would also like to stress this post is not to remove the revive system completely, just remove it from the zeus servers that are being ruined by it.

You can IP check me if you would like, most have come from my community which have all felt the need to finally make a forum account just because of how bad this revive system is. Until this point the game was amazing but there comes a time where eventually you have to make a point and now is that time. I do not believe advertising communities would be permitted on the forums but if there is a section where it is I will quite happily link you and introduce you to everyone.

This isn't a cry post, this is a well thought opinion backed by a lot of people which we wish to make the developers aware of. Please be mature and post actual constructive arguments or post nothing at all on this thread. As for it being an option, I realise this but if you had read what I put before jumping to conclusions, if the admin or zeus are happy with it on everyone else has no choice. With your invite to the game, I strongly decline. Andrew.

Hello All, Today I come to you as a dedicated Zeus player, moderator, admin and Zeus from official servers. Most of you may know me as simply Andrew, I am around on Arma on a daily basis. I come to you to ask for your help in restoring the official Zeus servers to there former glory by asking Bohemia Interactive to remove the nonsense respawn option added in the last update. Before I start, I want to acknowledge the positive side of the revive mode as yes, there are occasionally bonuses from it. It shows that there is a lot of flexibility for Arma and that the options are always there. For the odd mission here and there without respawns if all the settings are set to cruel times, it can partly work to generate a good mission. It has many options and provides players with an alternative to the main death system. Despite this however, I believe all the cons far out way the pros. Arma 3 is advertised as a military simulator, the most realistic one in the world in fact, yet last update with Malden they added the option for revive. Reviving does not exist in military combat. There is no first aid or medic kit that can deal with a fatal or even light bullet would enough for a soldier to continue in battle without issue. Never has a person taken a sniper bullet through the brain and been able to stand up and carry on fighting after first aid. So why do we have to endure this on Arma? I appreciate that Bohemia are trying to show off the possibilities of Arma and that server hosting is an option, but the official servers are meant to represent Arma and do we really want Arma represented in this manner to new players? Those of us who are unable to host a server due to costings or other technical restrictions have to use official servers, and as the main player base if we can come together I believe we can fix this problem. The other option told to us is that the admin can remove the option in parameters, or the Zeus can request the admin turn it off. This will just encourage people to vote out Zeus's and admins just to disable revive mode and in fact it is happening right now. A number of communities will join servers with the ultimatum of remove revive mode or lose admin/Zeus. We don't want to generate a toxic player base for a game that has such a positive and supportive community. Overall, we the community, have a job to make sure the Dev's know when they have made a mistake or that they have done things we don't like so they can understand the fans views even if nothing changes. Lets join up and see if we can help the Dev's realise how much better Zeus is without revive mode. Thank you for reading. Andrew/Bubbles
