Does anyone kind of feel like buying the Marksman DLC was a donation?
John Kozak replied to rekkless's topic in ARMA 3 - GENERAL
For me, I pay to get the bipods and weapon resting. BI did their awesome work, and that's my tribute to them. Not like a donation, just a fair payment. The fact that those who did not buy the DLC also get to use engine features is pure goodwill on the studio's side - and it's out of dignity to complain that you didn't get more. 20$ is like 2 to 4 lunches, so WTH? You can't afford it? That's not DLC's fault. -
So that great model is ever seen only by Epoch players? No way

Marksmen DLC: Concerns regarding suppressors
John Kozak replied to doc. caliban's topic in ARMA 3 - GENERAL
One big manipulation. Proof? Please state what functionality you initially received with the game is now unavailable? It's been more than a year from the release - you've long got what you paid for. I understand that something new and shiny came out and you want it; but the fact that you want it for free doesn't mean that it's a "intentionally omitted feature". You really sound like Russian propaganda to me. -
Consider The Consequences Before Being A Dick On A Server
John Kozak replied to infiltrator_2k's topic in ARMA 3 - GENERAL
If you'd excuse me, I have another story to show a bit of perspective from player side. Without false humility, I can say I am good (600 hours good) at ArmA 3. I'm commonly playing on Veteran or Elite so Regular is a bit of a breeze. Once I was bored and came to a public server which was running a standard "Defend Kamino" mission. The difficulty was regular, and the guys were pretty inexperienced. So, I was ramping up kills much quicker than the rest of them. After 20 minutes, I have noticed that one guy started to jump (literally 10 of meters into the air) around. I'm pointing him out to admin, he bans him... And after 30 more seconds, I find myself banned too. Reason? I had score of ~40 while the rest of the guys combined had around 20. In their opinion I could only achieve that result using cheats. Now, I'm permanently banned on their server - and I don't regret it, honestly. But with a "global ban" system - I would have been banned on ALL of the servers using it. Feel the difference? Just because of some idiot admin (or some troll who would have usurped the admin privilege) someone would be banned from a significant number of servers. For the reference - I have never used any cheats; I have intentionally teamkilled only a few times where the players were cleanly trolling/TKing themselves. But if such a thing as above happens, I will not be begging to unban me from the "global list" - and any self-respecting player will not. Everyone would just start boycotting those servers, that's all. P.S.Sorry for OT, but I wanted to point out that one needs to consider consequences of everything, not just of being a dick ;) -
Edit: removed, to avoid another holy war

Authentic Gameplay Modification

Don't know if it has been reported yet, but there's a following script error when shooting AIs with AGM enabled (clickable): Verified with AGM only -
FHQ Firearms and Weapons Pack
John Kozak replied to Alwarren's topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
Thanks for the addon! ACR is my dream weapon, so this is solidly in my favorites' list. Going to add M2010 to KoffeinFlummi's ArmA 3 spotter app soon. A couple of issues with ACR so far: Reload animations are a bit rough, the thumb seems broken when replacing mag It seems the sounds are mono, and they lack punch a bit The looks, on the other hand, are great. Great job. -
Cyrus has different ammo specified on same picture - 9.3x64 by text, 8.58x70 on the "ammo range". Which one is true?

With the introduction of FFV, players can now assemble quadrotors down while sitting at FFV position. The UAV appears on the ground with engines off (even when assembling it on a high-flying heli). While technically it is a bug exploitation, it creates a cool possibility for recon - now you can launch a drone on flyby without actually landing. Can this maybe made into a feature - so that the quadrotor appears just outside the chopper with engine on? It shouldn't be that hard to toss a quad out while sitting on a Littlebird's or Offroad's bench. Launching a drone from a Zodiac on the move should be pretty possible IRL as well

The rest of sources are either more crap (KP, Lenta, RG, thousands of paper ones) or frequently pressed to remove/amend articles for political reasons (RBC, Forbes.ru; recent example - Igor Sechin's 1st position in RUS CEO earnings rating). I live in Russia and regularly compare sources. Yes, it should be discussed in Russia's thread ;-)
-
That article does not contain a single fact, just opinions <=> it does not prove anything. But the plan obviously was that nobody would check, and - lo and behold - nobody did.
-
No, they don't
-
Nope, you brought nonsense here, you provide sources. And hey, did you read that story on German newspapers? A guy calling himself Oxmox is a drug dealer. Sources are easy to find. P.S. Really, guys, he just threw in some "half-truths" (he so fiery denounced previously) and you all fell for it?
-
Such a fiery speech, too bad all the "facts" are made up.
-
Nope. There's no "implication" or half-bits, the article is pretty specific and to the point.
-
A small story from an (unknown) Russian game studio: => Such workarounds are always bad :)

Weapon Inertia & Sway Feedback (dev branch)
John Kozak replied to solzenicyn's topic in ARMA 3 - DEVELOPMENT BRANCH
G-force would throw your aim off, indeed - in real world. I don't think it's impossible to implement believably in game. As for MP sync... Slightly misaligned aim is the least of problems -
Glitchy thermal signature which flickers and disappears when zooming in?

To gather up some statistics on the topic debated in the Fatigue feedback thread, here is a poll concerning the fatigue indication proposed there. Feel free to augment your answer with comments.

Believe me: there are things you can only throw out and rewrite from scratch :P
-
Well, other vehicles don't have mass of the crew 3.5 times larger than own mass. I agree it's strange and inconsistent - just hinting that there might be a mundane reason for it, like some quirks in behavior if the vehicle is too light. Needs to be fixed, indeed.
-
You are painting everyone else as naive people not able to discern propaganda from facts - implying you are not falling for it and you know the truth Which means, it's actually the other way around - Freudian projection at its finest ;)
-
Okay, then by your definition murders are not evil. Every country (except maybe Vatican) has those. Hence, to have murders in country is not evil. In fact, Russia should have more murders - because those Westerners do have them.
