    Hello, @Th3Truth. 

     

    My name is Rob, I am the Head Moderator of the Bohemia Interactive Forums. 

     

    I can assure you the Vigor team is working hard on fixing issues, and improving the game for everyone, however as you can surely understand one cannot just press 1 button and fix everything in a game, it takes time.

     

    In regards to your statement:

    Make no mistake there is a reason mods delete almost every thread created by community members to shed light on these issues. There is a reason several of us have been given “warnings” when shedding light on these issues.

    We would never hide posts, nor give out warnings to forum member based of feedback threads on these forums, however your posts were not feedback threads, they were posts like this one. These types of posts are against our forum guidelines rule #1: 

    Quote

    1) No Flaming/Flame-baiting/bigotry

     

    I do understand your frustrations, however, if you have feedback in regards to our games please create an actual feedback thread where you point out the issues you've encountered rather than create posts like these, as you are in fact breaking our guidelines. 

    If you are found to be breaking our rules once again, our moderation team will have to take further action.

     

    I hope this is all understandable. 

     

    Have a fantastic week! 

     

    - Rob

    EVALUATION:

    Hello Arma 3 community!

    We, the team behind Global Mobilization - Cold War Germany , would like to provide you with an update of what we’ve been working on since April.

    As you may know, we want to continue supporting Global Mobilization past the initial release with free content updates, and therefore would like to let you take a look at what we’ve got planned for the upcoming GM 1.1 Content Update, expected later this year.

    @Homesick, sorry to be a PITA about this, but, is their any news or movement regarding the official Soundtrack being made available as a standalone purchase. And if Contact is going to be the last "official" content for Arma 3, then a definitive soundtrack edition containing all tracks from the various DLC's should definitely be looked into by BI. :don8:

     

    Looking into it 🙂

    Hello, Fox. I will look into it. However due to this somewhat classifying as spam on these forums I'd appreciate if you message me directly in regards to an update if you don't have one in the future, it makes for a cleaner experience on the forums 🙂 However I have shared it with our project lead, and will get back to you as soon as I have a response.

    Response to some of Haleks questions: 

    1. Siege-A's / USP teams thread lock has been discussed privately with them, and they are well aware of why the thread is locked. Their thread will stay locked until their mod is fully released to the public. 

    2. Obviously copyright protection is important for us, especially when it comes to ripped content from other games such as Star Wars, Fallout etc. This is something we have full control over on the forums, however WS is more than just find the item, and ban it, hence why you might see more of this on the WS itself than on the forums. If it was as simple as find the mod, press 1 button = solved, I would have personally done it on a daily basis. 

    3. I do understand your concerns in regards to the subject, and if I'm being honest I was also not too sure about this specific subject when I started at Bohemia. However it is not something I can comment on too much, as it is simply not something I can do much about personally. If you have any complaints or concerns in regards to "illegal" mods or so, feel free to contact our infringments department at infringments@bohemia.net. 

    4. As I mentioned before our forums and the Steam Workshop is two different platforms, whereas one we have full control over, and the other one is more complicated than just ban and done. I can assure you that it is something we are aware off, and will hopefully improve upon when it is possible. (no promises though). 

     

    5. As for the USP/Siege-A discussion that has once again occured for some reason: 

     - We have been discussing the subject with Siege-A and his team for over 2 months now in private, and we have provided them with answers for every question they have asked. They are well aware of the reasoning behind our decisions, so I don't believe it is a subject that needs to be discussed further in public. If the USP team have any more complaints/concerns feel free to DM me. Siege-A: "The only thing we were guilty of was using a verbally disapproved format with our mod, which means any accusations beyond that were in fact false." We both know this is incorrect, so I am not entirely sure why you're bringing this up, once again. 

     

    This thread has been locked due to heading into a direction it should not be heading in. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to PM me directly.

    PRECEDENCE: Flash

     

    SITUATION

    After several sneaky teasers, the newest Arma 3 expansion was announced to all Earthlings, and is scheduled for arrival on July 25. In today's report we'll provide a recap of all decoded Arma 3 Contact intel, and throw in a few more bits of information. Rounding things out are a look at some technical changes in Contact's 1.94 platform update, as well as how Creator DLC (like Global Mobilization) is going to be updated.
