And might I also add everything done on discord goes back to China

#

For all we know you people being illiterate is entertainment to the CCP

#

Please unban my buddy JP and kick us out of this discord server if you wish. I don't care about it. I bought the game and most of its dlc to meet people and have fun

#

And clearly for an official discord server there doesn't seem to be a proper HR management for its users when things like these happen

#

And btw no one is a saint on discord. There are allegations of bullying against JP so for this matter and if JP did start it or not, the fact remains there was a retaliation by the opposition. So for this no one is right. Literally just kick them out of the server for being stupid simple minded adults.

gray kettle
#

He got removed from the discord for causing petty discourse

#

He's been given solutions to his issue and refuses to listen to them and stays in arguing.

#

If he wanted to get it dealt with seriously he could've privately messaged Dwarden about it to get advice on it. Talking about it here any further than what he did is useless.

gray kettle
#

There is no rule in arma forbidding people from restricting people to access their scripts and/or servers if they are admins in them, it's just the result of how public zeus runs.

#

He is willingly entering these servers, knowing these scripts and people are in them, when he can alternatively enter an empty server and run it his way.

#

Scripts or no scripts they would just kick/ban him instead without a script to do it automatically

errant marlin
#

JP is not removed/kicked/banned he is muted, I warned not to continue and he continued (again with a personal attack, what he edited but I did see the full message).

proud crow
#

Once again I'm not aware of what he did and I don't really care. I just know this story is messy. And everyone gets to take blame.

#

Just unban him from arma 3 zeus please

silent anvil
proud crow
#

Discord is good and bad place to be but it's always being watched by the chinese

#

He got banned from zeus servers

#

I was told someone ran a script to ban him from them

silent anvil
#

Script Bans clear after one restart, can he join Warlords?

proud crow
#

Yes

silent anvil
#

in that case he'll be able to reconnect to a server the moment it's fresh and restarted

#

he can join 0 people server 100%

brave depot
#

Based on earlier messages he is not being banned from Official Zeus servers, as he talked about servers owned by others. So there is nothing that we can do here for you in that regard, you will have to ask those community server owners directly.

proud crow
#

Alright so he's banned from specific servers not official ones

#

How do I know which servers are official

silent anvil
proud crow
#

But he can't join those

#

I was in those servers and it said he was banner

silent anvil
#

only Zeus or any official?

proud crow
#

Banned

#

Just zeus

silent anvil
#

what about servers with no people on?

#

/ unscripted servers?

proud crow
#

Let me ask

proud crow
#

He got in, thanks

#

@silent anvil thanks for the assist

proud crow
#

ugh the issue wasnt resolved, everytime he loads ezm and switches to player he gets banned

#

and on the top right corner it says balls so it looks like a script thing

errant marlin
#

⬆️ could be that EZM is 1 of those scripts that is not allowed (I personally don't know what scripts are allowed amd which are not).

proud crow
#

He has the same one I'm using

#

sorry he updated to the zeus in the steam shopt

#

i have the downloaded one

#

the older one

#

so its not the mod, its more like if someone ran codes to damaged or change a software on your system

silent anvil
#

EZM is a Scripted Composition and nothing more lol

proud crow
#

is it possbile someone could inject scripts into his game or ezm

gray kettle
#

EZM can have a code that kicks out people if they have certain names or UIDs

proud crow
#

I told him to reinstall everything, if it solves the issue then i would say my theory was right

#

but if it wasnt then its something the developers need to resolve

#

as for JP just ignore him, he has autism and its hard for him to understand things

gray kettle
#

I will say it again: the people who made the code have made it so he can't make use of the script system without being kicked. If he has issues with this, he can modify the script code and get rid of this and then use that modified version on his own.
This is a script-based banlist and even mod makers have made use of such a system to prohibit people from using their mods like RHS and USP Gear.

proud crow
#

i noticed hes a bit of a troll, there are cases where im trying to exist on serves and he calls me to tell me to do somethign to get kicked. I just do it because im bored

gray kettle
#

The people who created the script decided they disliked him and made it so it kicks him automatically

proud crow
#

so then who are the people

gray kettle
#

The people behind EZM

#

Find it on the workshop and contact the creators listed

proud crow
#

so what is the UID

gray kettle
#

UID is a special code that you can use to identify specific players.

#

You can't change it

proud crow
#

is that given for every new account in arma or your steam account

gray kettle
#

Steam account

#

Making a new profile doesn't change it

proud crow
#

oh

silent anvil
#

You can at any time modify the code btw, it's open source

gray kettle
#

^

#

You can get rid of the portion that kicks him and use that

#

But any other server will be using the one that kicks him.

proud crow
#

so when they decided ot ban you from the script, how does the ban work

#

does it say you cant use it?

gray kettle
#

It gives him a message and kicks him out from what he said

proud crow
#

or does it like work and then just kicks you when you perform a specific action

gray kettle
#

You said it yourself, when he goes to play as a player

proud crow
#

ohhh

#

honestly arma 3 is weird

gray kettle
#

It's a moddable game, so people mod it.

proud crow
#

not the game

#

the player base

#

thats why i just avoid gaming communities all together. peopel will misunderstand shit and be a troll

#

then things get out of hand and its a mess to deal with

gray kettle
#

Anonimity allows people to behave whichever way they wish to.

proud crow
#

The actual issue is the way you were raise, the people you surround yourself with and the environment

#

and i notice with arma 3, the player general, assholes

#

you probably play call of duty, who hasnt in arma

#

but youve seen the type of behaviour thats common

#

The best way i've personally found is to just state my point and ignore

#

not enable them because some people might have a mental disorder that encourages to keep going on

#

people can hide behind whatever personna they make online and that will always happen but the real problem is enabling them by fueling them

#

its like that therapist session from rick and morty, do nothing and it works

gray kettle
#

Rick and Morty isn't exactly my preferred source of info but not enabling people or trying to challenge them is a pretty okay way to go about online communities.

stoic stirrup
gray kettle
#

It's perfectly legal.

#

As legal as people passwording their servers or putting people on a blacklist/using a whitelist

stoic stirrup
#

i don't mind if they do that on private server, but using it on official?

gray kettle
#

It's not like he's completely prevented from accessing official servers.

#

Just whichever ones have zeuses running the script.

#

And once again...... starting to go off-topic with naming but no proof, want to report players for cheating/grieving/slurs/spamming see #arma3_official_servers message and make sure to also make video recordings to use for proof, the more proof the better for a ban on official servers, saying some does this in this channel without any proof is not helping to get people like that off official servers (besides some obvious cheaters/teamkillers/chat spammers what can be verified on logs).

#

guess I wasted 32 euros

#

wasted 4 hours to open the game just to noticed its so unoptimized a 4090 would get 60fps at minimum settings and now I cant get a refund

#

Nobody told you that you can't expect a solid 60 FPS in Arma 3?

#

And no, minimum settings makes it worse

gentle horizon

#

How about between minimum and maximum

only after installing 70 mods I get 60 fps

Anyways this is the channel to discuss Official multiplayer servers not optimization channel

He does understand but you're still in the wrong channel 😜

#

Sometimes it's as simple as that

gray kettle
ionic jay
#

Depends on server, DLC & if you got a bottleneck

#

For some reason Arma is one of the only games I know that impacts fps if played local instead of server

#

Very CPU heavy game I assume

timber barn
#

The game gives me the "You were banned" error every time i load into USA 04, USA 02, US 02w, US 02e, and EU 02. I can load into all of the other servers without that happening, anyone mind helping? All i've done was used EZM for zeusing and my normal kit for ground on zeus which is just the apex dlc and contact dlc stuff, this only became an issue a few days ago after someone got mad at me for calling him a shit zeus and said "im gonna report him"

gray kettle
#

Could be that EZM devs have put you on their ban blacklist

#

As some person previously came here and complained about being instantly kicked whenever they join a server using EZM

timber barn
#

asked expunged earlier about that and he said to ask here.

gray kettle
#

Oh interesting

timber barn
#

ima put in in the questions channel too just incase. hopin to get it fixed soon.

stiff tinsel
#

booted up arma 3 today only to find out that i've been banned from the official #EU12 zeus server

#

can join other servers fine, any ideas on how I can solve this issue?

gray kettle
#

Could be that EZM devs have put you on their ban blacklist
As some person previously came here and complained about being instantly kicked whenever they join a server using EZM

#

You could try joining an empty server and putting in EZM to see if it bans you out

stiff tinsel
#

haven't played in a while and the server is empty

gray kettle
#

Server is empty?

stiff tinsel
#

yeah

gray kettle
#

That's odd then

#

Contact Dwarden about it in DMs

#

He handles the official servers

stiff tinsel
#

aight thanks

gray kettle
#

np

late kayak
#

i will not repeat this warning, anyone who is found to abuse engine native server bans to enforce bans of someone via scripting, will be permanent banned from the official servers

#

it's fine if you kick someone you don't like from session, but this is simply taking it too far

#

@gray kettle you don't know what you're talking about at all

gray kettle
#

meow_shrug I mentioned EZM earlier cause I thought the context was a filled server, if that is what you're pinging me for.

#

After *it was said it's an empty server I mentioned to contact Dwarden because it's not an EZM related problem

#

Otherwise I would've said to talk with EZM devs

gray kettle
#

If it's not there anymore that's a different matter, but when the situation occurred there was really little to no explanation of the situation except for a blacklist, especially with EZM devs having to get involved to fix that situation.

silent anvil
#

People can just do Forks of EZM and insert their own code or modifications

gray kettle
#

Considering you were involved in that I'd be surprised you were bothering to fork your code.

silent anvil
#

No I just kicked JP but that's a different story and we've already had that discussion

#

I merely invite you to read the EZM Sourcecode before you accuse the team of inserting blacklists

gray kettle
#

I will admit that my assumption of a blacklist stems from the behavior I've come to expect and see from EZM's team, and after reading through the sourcecode I didn't find anything close to being a blacklist, however then I don't know how JP manages to get himself banned by being in a server by himself with friends while adding EZM to the scenario.

late kayak
#

if he gets kicked by BattlEye then that will keep the kick until session restart, just make sure he doesn't mix those 3, engine ban vs BE ban vs BE kick with block afterward, also there is then 4th as engine kick {i know bit complicated}

#mission escapefrommalden.malden veteran keeps launching in Recruit. Always have to wait for server to restart, and it sets the Malden version (instead of Tanoa) to be able to play Escape Malden in veteran. This is on CP servers.

gray kettle
#

V needs to be capitalised

#

Veteran

#

not veteran

#

alternatively just do #missions and choose the difficulty on the left

random dagger
#

last option doesn't work, there's no vet available, but i'll try capital V.

gray kettle
#

If you aren't allowed to switch difficulty on the mission select screen then you won't be able to switch it by command either

random dagger
#

capital V doesn't work.

random dagger

Default difficulty?

#

Far as I'm aware missions don't have default difficulties.

#

Difficulties can be default if a server enforces them

But that isn't mission specific

Reporting the same person as this guy did, PenieWenie is running a ban script every time he joins a server, it isnt the normal admin kick off thing, its like if dwarden were to ban someone, if someone could either make it so he cant just ban people with scripts or just ban penie, that would be great.

#

I can send proof that i've been banned, idk how i'd be able to send proof that hes doing it other than me joining penie on pubzeus earlier, saying "Hi penie" and having the "You were banned" thing pop up.

#

Doubt anyone will actually deal with him though, hes been doing these kinds of things for a WHILE and nobody has banned him yet.

#

idk his tag thing but i can probably figure it out

violet oasis
#

Not possible to ban from pub zeus. Restart server then you can rejoin

timber barn
#

your script says otherwise penie.

#

its been a day penie

#

your script is still running

#

it has been EXACTLY 23 fucking days since dwarden has warned people for using the script

#

and yet your STILL using it penie

#

penie has been a troll and a scripter whos been running shit like that for a WHILE, i'm amazed that he has not been game banned or some shit yet.

#

im gonna start clipping your shit at this point, you do enough as is to get your ass banned or some shit on a daily fuckin basis.

timber barn
#

dwarden, if you read this, an unban would be great, theres proof in dms that i was banned, im almost positive that it was penies ban script.

Hi, any idea why my KOTH progress is just simply resetting every single time I log in? Official arma 3 koth server. Seems like everyone is level 45 so might not be just me? Second day in a row I connect and everythings back to how I started. 20k money, level 45. No gun unlocks and free perm unlock again. New player to KOTH but not arma Thanks

solar jackal
#

its a stress test server

#

pretty sure

primal pine
#

Ah yes it is. Did not know that might not save progress. I assume I need to find a community one or is there any official koth ones?

gray kettle
#

So you want to go on the gamemode's official servers for a "progress saving" experience, not on BI's.

#

The KOTH hosted by BI(the one you were on) doesn't have progress saved but everything is unlocked by default so there is little grinding/unlocking to do.

#

That was it, thank you! Figured that just because it was a stress test server it would be the same but nope. Thanks again

@late kayak Rick Bromley is one of pub zeuses most influential players. Joining a server and always asking for the arsenal and prowler. I belive that Rick Bromleys legacy must be remembered on public zeus. If we could get a symbol or sign I think this would increase pub zeuses quality tenfold

All I am requesting is that a custom sign is installed, so we have a place to visit him on all the zeus missoin files.

A prowler on a pedestal alongside it would also be great

Yesterday I got kicked for "safezone camping" while this was not the case, Now I lost a 10K black wasp because of that. idc about the money that much. but the kick was very unreasonable. I would like to report the player who reported me: because he set me up

stoic stirrup
#

what do you mean unreasonable? the reason is there you already stated 'safezone camping', also if you playing on non official server then you need to contact the server owner for appeal etc.

visual basalt
#

Unreasonable, because I was already intercepting this player who happened to land in his safezone after chickening out of our fight

pulsar marsh
#

doesnt really matter if its no official server and even if it was, people can kick you out for no reason or real stupid reason because Bohemia loves democracy (or simply doesnt care^^). the whole challenge is to get enough people to votekick. reason? reasonable? ain‘t part of the deal blobcloseenjoy

#

Fortunately I was never kicked out of official servers but the possibility to get kicked out with zero justification is real

Hello all,
On an official server, one player is trolling, team killing, ramming and spamming in chat every day for like a week now.
Dwarden didn't reply. Who else can I report to?

#

That sign itself originated from ancient times and not from dear Austrian boy Adolf... so you will have to tolerate it as its within the legal boundaries of their "rights" despite obvious malicious intentions. If you insist to report regardless, feel free

#

The only two things they strictly sanction are racial slurs and cheats related to hacking. That's from my experience over the last years

Lmao just press the delete button on the map to get rid of it

And it still doesn't matter as Europeans did not invent this sign. If you guys want Bohemia to take actions, you would need criminal charges as they face counter lawsuits for censoring and freedom of speech if studio is very unlucky and start bitching the wrong players with big daddy's pockets.
abusive sign <=> censoring/freedom of speech

#

To be precise there are no transparent server rules as Bohemia never announced them anywhere. Maybe they have hidden them inside the terms of use before you buy the game 🙈

#

Tbh Bohemia didn't care much about public gameplay as their ingame politics confirm this impression. Unclear rules, little sanctions and their entire business is focused on private servers and big steam sales once in a while

#

Bohemia relies on votekick and we know how that stupid idea worked out over the last decade. I live in a direct democracy-based country and less than 47% go to vote. So have fun trying to votekick because you require >50% of the votes in Arma too 🤣

worn valley
pulsar marsh
#

use existing solutions Bohemia already have in effect: hire volunteer mods just like here in Discord, I doubt it's that difficult excepting the recruitment process

dense vigil
dense vigil
# worn valley What would be your solution? Give you Ban permissions?

I guess the admin here is swamped with work, he/she tells the higher ups its bad down there on the servers, requesting for backup and gets no resources / decisions in reply.

If this is so, our course of action would be to write letters or give feedback directlyto the higher ups, instead of vote kicking or talking here in Discord, which obviously doesn't get us anywhere.

pulsar marsh
#

We just have one admin and he takes care of the two mentioned critical violation of rules which are violation of real law at same time too. It's pretty obvious why they take care of those two strictly.

#

For all classic ingame matters, well... good luck waiting for response or eternal work of votekick which only works if people worked together and that is a big "if"

#

And no offense but if Bohemia's higher ups care for public servers, let me know and I shall give them a proper review on that lol

gray kettle
#

I personally have no issue with the democratic voting of admin and kicking in the official servers, just needs to be shoved in people's faces more as a notification(Reforger does that in comparison)

pulsar marsh
#

do you mean as popup or just chatbox?

gray kettle
#

Popup, it's already in chatbox just not as persistent or visible.

#

A lot of people in arma even outright refuse to look at the chat

pulsar marsh
#

sadly true

gray kettle
#

I like how Reforger does it but I think it should be even more visible than that

#

Reforger actually has vote kicks work out pretty effectively in comparison since people notice it more

pulsar marsh
#

I wish they made votekick simply more accessible and easier. Many players either don't even know the votekick cmd or don't remember it the next day and going through menu is such a hassle during intense gameplay
Requires two changes in Arma3 imo:

  • one click option visible on the main HUI
  • time-limited lockdown on that button to avoid sys msg spam and to make people aware it's not a spam feature (or simply remove the follow-up of same sys msg)

Arma certainly offered me well balanced SP/MP options but playtime speaks volumes and it's obvious which mode I played the most. Not to mention it would be a real waste if Arma was a SP game.

pulsar marsh
#

It's an open secret that Arma3 failed at public gaming, the limited choice of official servers is one thing but there is a lack of ingame support, one sysadmin is all we have, aka Dwarden.

#

I love this game but I see no valid argument that mere discord channels enjoy a bunch of official as well as volunteer mods while official game servers are left to rot with very unclear rules.

#

Oh and to be fair, it's a sad one-man-show but Dwarden does respond and takes care of cheaters, server crash and even stuff like racial slurs

yep, I've been accused of cheating long time ago too, I'm still waiting for a surprise ban 😆
about cheaters, we would require some easy features latest with Arma4: - ingame report tools
bc casual players aren't prepared for this, they first need to find out how to record ingame videos, how to acquire the unique player IDs
we normally have access to steam IDs of all players who are currently in the same game session too but it's not easy to tell apart who is who because steam and ingame IDs are not related properly

I'm still a strong supporter of online game registration with passport or personal ID. EU is working on such a validated e-identity stuff since 2020, lets see how things are going

grizzled burrow
#

he definitly need more help

#

just for the server alone there is like so many trollers

pulsar marsh
#

I share the sentiments, really do. But I struggle to see a solution. Because if you have a look at ingame situation, people cannot even manage to get a majority voting at anything, so now we shall imagine how to get them moved to send a petition to Bohemia for things like extra staff for ingame mod, even if its a volunteer

#

and about trollers, I believe they are bigger in numbers than cheaters too. toxic people in general, say griefers, trollers etc

gray kettle
#

I mean even if you completely disregard arma 3 having more staff working sysadmin positions will be useful when taking reforger and arma 4 into account that also require these types of people

Hey it would be sweet if you added blastcore and jsrs keys to pub zeus. I think it would be a good update to bring some spice of life and maybe even end up growing the playerbase a bit. Ofc it would be optional, the most popular gamemode, KOTH, has these two mod keys on their server. There isn't any security concern with adding these, it would just be a net win for arma players. ❤️ 👍🏻
@late kayak

gray kettle
#

Dwarden's gone over this before but there's quite the security issues with allowing any mod key of sorts.

#

Legitimate keys can be faked and people could get even easier routes to cause even more damage to people's computers.

white ember
white ember
#

in zeus people already have access to scripting as a feature

#

for better compositions

#

meanwhile on koth, security is very tight

pulsar marsh
#

koth doesn't allow admins to begin with...

#

I'm sure you aren't aware of how many complaints were made thanks to script abuse and any other kind of abuse with too much freedom on pub zeus

white ember
#

There is no "abuse" coming from these keys on KOTH.

gray kettle
#

mods have more access and freedom in editing your game and files around it than scripts do.

#

It's not about "this will happen" it's more about "it's not worth risking this happening"

white ember
gray kettle
#

Mods in general can do a lot more than just that.

white ember
#

ok but we are talking about these two, because they are allowed on koth

gray kettle
#

And people with the proper knowledge can fake keys that makes a game "think" they're JSRS or Blastcore when in reality it's even simple shit like the singleplayer cheat menu.

#

worser case is a mod that bluescreens your computer.

white ember
gray kettle
#

There's a reason why community servers like Life, KOTH, Wasteland, etc. have additional anti-cheat systems imbedded into the server or scenario.

gray kettle
white ember
gray kettle
#

I'm pretty sure it's a theoretical that has been said before by BI.

white ember
#

Interesting. I can't fathom how the contents of a pbo on my pc could interact with the game in a way that allows me to blue screen other people. Sounds like we need to remove mods alltogether until this gets fixed. There are a lot of servers without custom anticheat running. RIP them

gray kettle
#

Generally this just isn't something anybody encountered since there isn't anything particularly "high profile" enough for somebody to attempt it.

#

Official BI servers however are pretty high profile for it.

#

Though there could always be a chance BI decides to allow optional mods on pub zeus

#

Personally I'd prefer stuff like Zeus Enhanced but they've been against allowing scripts until relatively recent and those haven't been too abused in the grand scheme of things.

white ember
# gray kettle Personally I'd prefer stuff like Zeus Enhanced but they've been against allowing...

I'd be more worried about Zeus Enhanced's powers than what jsrs + blastcore add from a security standpoint. But then again the Zeus can pretty much run any SQF already.

Which brings me to the abuse claims. Game master has always had the ability to **** the server over, regardless of scripts, the default modules give him enough ability to crash the server. And if we are talking about script abuse from the ground... that's cheats and it's going to happen regardless unless you install that third party anti cheat stuff, in which case you shouldn't have any problem adding the mod keys.

#

Basically im just saying default zeus has an inherent freedom that can be severely abused, so i dont see adding a couple mod keys making much of a difference aside from allowing cool custom fx and sounds client side.

pulsar marsh
#

You missed the point... criminals are always one step ahead, be it a virus, offline crime, online crime, just game cheats, really doesn't matter. The more risk you add, the more stress the gamemasters have at the end. This is why Arma lives much more from private servers than public servers. Private servers are not obliged to provide access to everyone and they can minimize the risk by giving access to selected people

#

If you strongly believe a mere key poses no extra threat, provide that provable fact to Bohemia and start a petition with other people interested in that.

#

No offense but we have more serious issues in Arma public gaming and they didn't fix them either

See patience is your ally, Dwarden does answer all your questions blobcloseenjoy

for example the effects keys were tried on the KOTH server and it was causing performance issues to clients w/o them (again some script/config error spam)

#

this might be no worry for the community server but it is worry for official server

#

but adding those is easier with the KOTH server same as with the WL Redux (as they community content anyway) and Redux has some of those as experiment, may do same with KOTH

#

but for KOTH i'm waiting for mission update which will solve the griefing / tk abuse , i hoped it would be done before Easters but ...

also Redux is crashing and freezing more often than usual so it might be related to those (plus some cheat as usual)

You can crash people's clients with scripts. Why would it matter if we had mods. I don't get it

There are also much easier ways to "cheat" on pub zeus then using mods.

#

Why would someone go through the trouble of using mods, when they could use the preexisting issues with scripting enabled.

you misunderstanding the point completely, if the game is worse/ruined to players with vanilla then you don't want such mods on official server

If dwarden were able to HWID ban you Penie, I doubt you’d still be scripting on pubzeus and killing servers. with how many times you’ve used the ban script and other things, your the reason as to why pubzeus is as dead as it is right now.

You’ve been so dedicated to trolling me that you’ve spent at least more than $50 on alts, and you even named yourself “Delta-0 Task Force” on the ZAM server, and yet the only reason you still enjoy doing it is because you like wasting time for both of us.

If you're new to playing Arma 3, it is recommended to have a read of #info_help_tips and especially the getting started guide (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Getting_Started).

why cant i rebind the go down button in arma 3 helicopters, i try to put it on cntrl and it automatically binds it to cntrl+joystick down (hotas joystick)

gray kettle
#

You likely have a joystick connected that is constantly inputting a command

#

Go to controllers > disable the joystick inputting it until you're done setting it up

#

Alternatively just put the throttle at neutral

#

On the joystick

#

If that still doesn't help make sure you press OK when you're done setting up your controls as pressing escape/cancel/back does not save it

Dwarden we want custom faces back!!!!! Please 🙏 ❤️❤️❤️❤️

gray kettle
#

This kinda feels like the debug console/script perms all over again

#

People ask for ability to make use of exploitable feature, in reality want it to exploit(adolf hitler face/putin face/pickle rick/whatever), funny/entertaining for like a month at best then just ends up annoying people more than helping.

#

If you use it to tattoo your guy or whatever great, but that'll be like one or two guys out of the 500 downloading the adolf hitler face

#

It's just far easier

lucid yoke
#

No one wants to exploit it, we want cool faces bruh its part of the game. I made some dope themed faces for a halloween event back when it wasnt restricted

#

You should just fix the “exploit” whatever it is, because I feel vanilla official should not have such a limitation of default features, and a goofy face isn’t going to take much away from the gameplay on those servers. If needed zeus can ask them to change their face, just like they do with loadouts.

gray kettle
#

Well I guess you can change faces on the arsenals as they are

#

That is a good point, can't deny it

#

The "exploit" was admittedly not the correct term, more like "griefing capability"

#

I also don't deny that a goofy face would likely not detract too much in the large scheme of things, but it has a capacity to, like, say, people dressing up as VR soldiers or the wrong faction or otherwise.
It will not help the seriousness of the servers overall, is my main point.

lucid yoke
#

True, but my opinion is the seriousness of the experience is up to the Zeus.

gray kettle
#

Very true, you'd only really lead to a problem with this if a zeus did not use an arsenal, which at this point is extremely rare.

#

Do faces picked in the staple scripted full arsenal save if you use the save respawn loadout action?

#

If so then yeah, I guess in the large scheme of things enabling faces beyond some new security vulnerabilities that may have been found shouldn't be problematic in the least.

#

Similar to people who play music at full blast it'll just have to be something to deal with or ignore, and if it gets actually problematic that's what the admin and zeus are for.

#

The real solution would be being able to disable seeing somebody's custom face similar to how you can mute people, but that's an entirely different thing.

#

That could also allow bringing back custom sounds into official servers which I enjoy the use of in fitting moments

#

Even though they could easily be annoying and are just arma's built-in soundboard

this is another example of how bad the loss of Armaholic database is... people don't know about those thousands various missions Arma 1 and 2/OA had (not just the mods)

another reason for Reforger to have their mods database inside the BI server

and not on 3rd party provider (except Steam, tho not sure how long it will last in the future)

pulsar marsh
#

it's not exactly a pleasure to try help yourself with Steams workshop mess and lets not mention the compatibility issuess that may happen with every single patch

late kayak
#

the mistake was that lot of community makers ignored my (and other people) advice to use mirrors and upload to more than 1 place (e.g. modDB)

#

if they used modDB, that database and mirrors are still around, 22+ years later

pulsar marsh
#

You could assist them somewhat if the solution was provided inhouse because Valve certainly won't lift a finger unless they earn money with every download blobdoggoshruggoogly

late kayak
#

if someone told me about the armaholic drama, i was willing even put some of my personal coins to safeguard that database because of all the work of already deceased/passed away members of community ... but nobody told me until it was too late

gray kettle
#

I mean Armaholic's demise was definitely a fault of the person who maintained it and nobody else

#

No matter what you may think

#

There are so many steps the owner could've taken for it to not happen as it did

#

Plus the workshop pretty much wrote Armaholic extinct since the owner simply did not want to invest anymore into older arma content

late kayak
#

from my PoV it was like someone running public museum and library, deciding he doesn't want to bother with the books and paintings etc. and burned it down ... because game's mods / missions are form of Art too

stoic stirrup
#

such a tragedy, hopefully it won't happen again

pulsar marsh
#

People live under the misconception that everything they upload to the internet stays there forever, so they don't really take extra measures to mirror or whatever to safeguard their stuff

late kayak
#

it's not exactly funny ... because like i said there were works of people who can't defend themselves anymore (passed away due to age, illnesses, while serving in military or saving people (some first responders/firemen etc.))

late kayak
#

as i seen many other games to lose theirs modding treasures over the decades prior ... i always suggested that people spread theirs works into mirrors (especially for projects where there wasn't singular workshop enforced (bit more complex with A3/AR)

#

even now i wish we could somehow support mod io (from same authors of moddb) as optional backup directly from the tool publisher

pulsar marsh
#

burn the db out of rage... yep sounds like mankind at its finest hour... but lets hope its not always extreme like that.

# split quail public zeus is the cringiest thing ever

Tbh public ANYTHING usually sucks. Vanilla arma is... empty. IMO, as is expected of a sandbox, arma performs best in private modded servers. As a general rule, any game worth playing has a terrible public experience but an amazing private one - something I hope isn't forgotten in arma4.

gray kettle
#

insanely hot take

#

Well in this channel specifically

#

I have several thousands hours just on vanilla arma

#

I think the content that's there is pretty good, just requires some creativity to enjoy it

#

The game being sandboxy inherently means things can be used any which way

pulsar marsh
# gray kettle I have several thousands hours just on vanilla arma

What are the chances that a new player starts with an invitation to any popular private server with no public access right off the hook? Very unlikely. I first started with some easy accessible public servers too. Ofc Arma could be a lot more if they combine sandbox and proper public gaming. The complete opposite of Arma is Warcraft3 and DotA, Blizzard never cared for mods until it was too late. They carelessly lost both a cash cow business as well as a new genre they could control and shape. Tbh I don't see why a studio shouldn't be able to have a dual strategy, public gaming & sandbox. The synergy could be groundbreaking.

#

Two extreme showcase prove me that Arma requires more public gaming next generation and other studios should never underestimate sandbox synergy with all the creative modders

#

If we look at Arma3, it is really difficult to find a unit to join or just find suitable players to play with because you first need to join Discord, zero approach ingame and there is no real guide for multiplayer either. A casual player is completely lost

gray kettle
#

Public Zeus used to be that place where players get recruited

pulsar marsh
#

before warlord was introduced I left public servers and headed to the private ones, I barely remember anything from public zeus lol

deft walrus
#

Vanilla arma is great when compared with other shooters, because ArmA is a good game. However, when vanilla arma is compared to modded arma, especially the large-scale modded events, it doesn't hold its own.

#

That's in part because public servers attract the public. Having met the public, I can assure you they're pretty hit or miss.

pulsar marsh
deft walrus
# pulsar marsh I don't want to be recruited randomly <:blobcloseenjoy:700312018430722060> It is...

There's hundreds of ways into private communities, because they relentlessly self-promote and recruit - to the point it's basically forbidden to talk about any private community you're part of in this discord, because that opens the floodgates to unit recruiters.

If you want to find a good private community it will take you about an hour, and anyone with the initiative to actually play arma is able to do that.

#

The only people who struggle are irritating children that nobody wants to play with

pulsar marsh
#

Precisely. This is why a passive interface would be amazing, even if its a small feature such as Steam workshop with feedback rating or any parameter Bohemia considers helpful for their own public community or mixed community

#

active recruitment is a horror for me tbh

deft walrus

Upgrade the feedback pressure by giving both the host as well as players a rating lol
