[brisk brook]

You mean rear class seat

[subtle plume]

you will never unsee it

[zinc river]

That is nothing. On the vz 58, when you out of rounds, you can still see rounds in the "empty mag"

[brisk brook]

Its well known that vz58 deposits empty cases back into its mag

[marble kindle]

Or the full makarov mag you unload to reload another full one

The horsemen of Reforger

[subtle plume]

gotta hold onto that brass

[errant leaf]

would be cool if there were links that would fall off the pkm but would probably just be a pain to animate, rn they just jiggle!

[subtle plume]

If they can do it with brass I feel it'd be a bit similar?? but the jiggle is nice

[fair dove]

Hahah literally an unplayable game

[oblique quest]

I love and appreciate your mods gramps keep up the good work

[rare pilot]

Players shouldnt count towards base captures if theyre in vehicles

This would help balance out people solo capping with helicopters and BTRs

They should rely on their dismounts or ditch the vics away from the objective

[oak flare]

No. BI should not make changes solely to mitigate the impact of PBS disabling AI. AI will put an RPG into those helicopters and BTRs in no time. i.e. It's not a problem at all if you play the game how it was designed.

[rare pilot]

Since when did Conflict players play how the game was designed? The designed and intended way to play the game is sit at a base, wait for a troop transport to pick you up, rally with other groups, and attack a base en masse in one fell swoop

This simply doesnt happen. The fastest way to play the game is every man gets a Jeep and goes to a different place

And it doesnt matter if theres no AI, in the endgame PvP, theres no AI anyways

[oak flare]

Designed as in implemented features, not some idea you have about what siome person was thinking about when they made it.

[rare pilot]

Its just people driving around in keeps solo cappoing bases because your entire team decided it would be a good idea to sit at Morton while every base leading to it is backcapped

[rare pilot]

I read it straight from the field manual dude, thats not "My Idea", thats the developers damned intention, to the point they wrote a whole Tutorial page in the Knowledge Book about how to play the damn gamemode

And the simple fact of the matter is the game is a game, and people will find a meta and abuse it

[oak flare]

There is if, you turn it on. Hire them from the tent bases.

[rare pilot]

Running enough Logi to build a Barracks at every single base isnt faster than everyone in a jeep rushing those bases before your truck can get there

Having defender AI helps a fuck ton but only 10 bases a match have them on a good run

[oak flare]

It is if those jeeps get blown up by an AI with RPG on the way... which they often do.

[rare pilot]

Ive been shot by an AI with a rocket exactly twice in my entire time playing this game

The first time was going up an incline with a MHQ
The second time was when I got stuck in a tree, with it impaling my vehicle, and couldnt move

[oak flare]

Well. you have to play with them to get shot by them. they are way more effective with RPG than any human player i've encountered

[rare pilot]

They always miss me
I could get shot at 100 times by AT infantry and only ever get hit one of those times

Either im lucky, other players dont know how to drive, or - most likely answer - the AI are shitty, in a shitty game that isnt complete yet

Ive been shot in the driver seat by a PKM more a thousand more times than ive been hit by a Rocket AI

Hell, the Grenadier AI hit me in a vehicle more than the Rocket AI do

[oak flare]

only since some recent patch do they know how to aim

[rare pilot]

I guess I havent seen them in their Prime state then, cause every experience I have with AI is beaten by simply breaking line of sight

AI shooting at you? Sit in a bush and shoot back, youre invisible
AI firing rockets at you? Just drive to the left a little and hug the corner youre going around
AI firing GLs at you? Move to the right a bit and theyll keep hitting to your left

[oak flare]

well, that's a different issue. AI have 40mm disabled because the playerbase are a load of bitches who want useless AI and complained all the time about getting killed by AI with 40mm.

they used to be 40mm killers long time ago

[rare pilot]

None of this is relevant to balancing Armored Vehicles and Helicopters

And forcing them to actually play properly - with DISMOUNTS, in the PERSONNEL CARRIERS, and TRANSPORT HELICOPTERS

Emphasis on Personnel, Carriers, and Transport

If its one man in a BTR or one man in a helicopter capturing a base then theyre not playing correctly

At the very least the BTR should have a gunner and the Huey should have a co pilot to jump out, hide in a corner, and wait for the base to be captured

Game should encourage more teamwork
Not encourage sitting alone in an APC and driving away from a single man shooting at you with a useless LMG, because you cant shoot back

[hoary dragon]

I doubt anyone wants this change tbh

When amoured vehicles capture bases irl you don’t see the commander hopping out and hiding

[rare pilot]

Armored vehicles dont capture things IRL, the armored vehicles kill things and level defenses so that the Infantry can capture them

All it takes is one dude hiding inside a well dug trench or bunker with an RPG and your Armored Vehicle is toast

Hence the infantry needed to clear it out

[true citrus]

Are we forgetting this is a game ?? 🤣

[rare pilot]

He wanted to pull the "IRL" card then said something stupid

[true citrus]

Lol typical arma discord

[rare pilot]

The Arma community hates change so im not surprised offering an idea for game balancing causes a ruckus

To them it should stay broken cause its the way its always been

[oak flare]

Or it's just a dumb idea that doesn't even do anything to force people to play it how you want them to.

[rare pilot]

To force people to play together, in a team based gamemode

[oak flare]

Everything exacty the same, except now the guy is lieing on ground under car instead of inside whie capping.

[rare pilot]

There should be more incentive to work together, not separately

The fact a single guy can capture 6 bases in 5 minutes is a travesty

[true citrus]

real

the old radio cap was the best for team play

[thorn dawn]

also irl there is no "conflict mode"

[oak flare]

problem is too many bases, nothing to do with if you can cap while sitting in a seat or not.

[rare pilot]

Once the AI commanding, Commander Roles, AI Driving, AI Logistics, and Custom Built FOBs comes out, then the map will feel more full, and itll be easier to hold multiple bases at once

Custom FOBs especially, thatll cut down on the number of them drastically and centralize combat more

[true citrus]

that’s why they probably haven’t done mortars yet, waiting for custom FOBS. So a John can’t just line up on levie and go ham

[rare pilot]

Once I get mortars, I can sit at Pinewood lake and shell damn near the entire map

Much less if I setup somewhere inconspicuous like Old Wood, or Benac

[hoary dragon]

Exactly it’s a vocal minority who wants these changes I doubt anyone actually wants these changes in the vast majority of the playerbase

No one wants to get out of an amoured vehicle to capture a base that’ll take 5 minutes to cap anyway

[hoary dragon]

Thanks mate wouldn’t have realised there’s no conflict irl👍

[misty lantern]

I was referring to the RWR... I don't expect that BI will ever get one implemented for Arma Reforger

[stray frost]

It can use the agm-22 and there was a prototype used in Vietnam that could use TOWs too

[fair dove]

afaik if youre in a heli, you cant cap a base unless you're below a certain altitude (which can be modified via the scenario)

[main tide]

Uh1h?

[stray frost]

Pretty sure

[vivid night]

is this where i post bug footage ? https://youtu.be/bQIyAnzvi6c

[acoustic wind]

Are radio comms and command structure getting any improvements? They need some UI help and is the commander role confirmed?

[rare pilot]

Commander role has been confirmed for over a year, and we dont know about anymore UI improvements. Dont get your hopes up.

[vestal pond]

Hey devs and all staff of bohemia on the arma reforger developments , could we please also have some modern era content added to reforger please and thanks like a middle eastern map a vehicle kit and weapons kit as well clothing and equipment even though we have mods on console now half the time we have to reinstall the game many times for mods to work for such little time , and kunar province map mod doesnt save anything i create on it but also in game master we would really appreciate being able to place actual mission objectives to like hostage rescue,intel gathering,prisoner transport ,HVT kill or capture etc.. but also could we have an extraction heli added for after the scenario and beable to place where it takes us on the map to end it , but also switching from game master and game play so much gets annoying and difficult to keep up on quickly so maybe being able to command AI during gameplay on our side i mean but in game master being able to set hostile faction to patrol in a vehicle guard hostages etc... and as well being able ziptie surrendering hostiles and hold them in a designated incarceration area/building stuff like this is actual in the world we live why couldnt we have the ability to create these things in our scenarios itd be really interesting to see how people can create their scenarios as well shutting down human trafficking organizations and so on extremist groups etc... please i hope this is seen and highly considered we deserve a full game of reforger for the money we have paid for a game preview though and the modern era content i would pay for it as dlc addon if needed be so long as its working properly that is i understand you all work hard and i do appreciate it so very much please please consider this feedback anyone in here that likes these ideas please give a thumbs up if youd like 👍🏼 or even reply with 10-4

[rare pilot]

There are exactly 9 periods in that paragraph and none of them end a sentence

🤣🤣🤣🤣 ffs not that im aware of im often exhausted from poorly managed type 1 diabetes and when im writing something i zone right out my brain is still going but my attention span is resting so everything comes out at once 🤣🤣🤣

noted...

[rare pilot]

A ural full of shells, an AFK buddy, and a dude who knows math are all you need to run a mortar
You dont have to limit yourself to a FOB

[errant leaf]

lol i just skimmed through this slab, saw: "want features", "human trafficking", and "hostage capture". imo it may be a bit out of scope for reforger

[errant leaf]

artillery computer 🤣

thank god that will be gone!

[rare pilot]

I dont think mortars in the 80s had those so hopefully we dont see them ingame

[subtle plume]

give us some marker sticks and pray for us

[errant leaf]

yes!

[vestal pond]

Well even objectives outside of just capture and hold things that could give more of an authentic milsim to it

[errant leaf]

i agree, maybe an interesting mod, I tend to take prisoners in reforger, i have taken countless, i have also been captured numerous times and freed on one occasion, rn it is just roleplay but it honestly has its perks

[main tide]

Ahh good. So then you can point me to the exact spot in tm 55-1520-210-10 where I could find such a reference ? 🙂

[vestal pond]

If we had a zipties mod then the prison mod and inmate outfits would certainly be of good use for game master scenario creations

[stray frost]

If I cared enough to read through it probably but unfortunately I don't so no

[stray frost]

What kind of Uh1 is this? This is the TOW one: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Huey_armed_with_TOW_missiles_in_Vietnam.jpg

[craggy lagoon]

A bit of feedback from a new player. The minimum graphics card shown on the Store page, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, made me a little leery about getting Reforger because I figured I might not be able to run it with my GTX 970. Hell, Arma 3 seems to want to run around 40-50 fps no matter what settings I used, so I just got used to Arma not running well

Imagine my surprise when I boot up the game and load into the tutorial, which in Arma 3 had still run poorly despite being on low settings... and sure, I have to run Reforger on Medium to Low presets to get good framerates, but I was getting over 60fps consistently!

And I've adored the fluidity of the new animations, after the rather stiff and at times floaty interactions of Arma 3. I haven't had a lot of free time lately, but I definitely want to dig more into Arma Reforger when I get the time. If Arma 4 is going to be on this engine, too, it's a day one buy from me. Even on my older hardware, this engine runs BETTER than Arma 3 ever did.

[main tide]

An experimental configuration uh1b with xm26 system. ( huey model 204 family aka the short body huey)

Aprently only 2 were used for combat evaluation in Vietnam in 1972 but withdrawn from use in 1973

[honest trout]

I'm having fun with this game, but my experience is constantly being ruined by griefers teamkilling, dismantling friendly base structures, spamming soundboards on enemy radio and spawncamping main base. Having an public Arma 4 testbed so rife with griefers that it turns people away defeats a lot of it's purpose. I think it's time to divert some development time and effort to get a system in place to deal with these individuals once and for all. I propose the following:

• A cronological log of player offenses to assist all players to individually identify a griefer and report and/or votekick him. Should include friendly fire, friendly fire kills and base dismantling. Browsable through the player menu, per player or compounded.

• A proper votekick function. You can initiate a votekick with the current one, but there is no input or progress feedback, noone knows if their votes are going through or if it's close to succeeding.

• Ideally, someone at Bohemia Interactive should go through the official votekick logs and issue bans. These individuals have a large impact, but they are few. The workload should be modest and impactful.

• For Arma 4, a system where the player ID can be tied to the purchase should be implemented if possible, I've been told that is currently not the case and that griefers can create alternate accounts on Xbox.

[stray frost]

Not entirely sure if Hs can't use AGM 22s or if they just stopped using them because AH-1s came about. I did see something about them stopping their use because of cobras but not sure if that was the Bs and Cs or also the Hs. It definitely still has the hard points for it though.

War Thunder, apparently, has a UH1D with AGMs but that would hardly be proof even if it was an H 😁

[main tide]

In Vietnam the 205 ( extended cab hueys) aka uh1d and later uh1h were used exclusively as slicks( transports) in us forces. Uh1b and uh1c were relegated as gunships. Mostly uh1c,s because uh1c was basically just an up engined b. At least until ah1 cobras came about which gradually took over the dedicated gunship role.

The aussies had a gunship configuration for thier uh1h " bushranger" huey. But that's a foriegn user. Plus that gunship configuration was only mini guns and rockets afaik.

[stray frost]

I think CH118s could also carry them but again that's foreign. At the very least it's not part of the doctrine for the US

[main tide]

Guided anti tank missiles are no in the scope of reforger. And even if they were. I'd rather not look at experimental or foreign helos when ah1 cobra starting with Q variant got tows. For a late 80s era ah1f is what should be used for the us army aside from new kid on the block that the ah64a was.

[stray frost]

Yeah I would want the Ah1F too but 99% chance we aren't getting that in AR

[misty lantern]

RFI #3 outright said that once the roadmap is done the game is going into Live Ops

[stray frost]

Things can change... current development being the proof. That's why I left the 1%. But yeah probably not getting it

[misty lantern]

I'm not holding out hope for anything beyond what's in Air Assault and Final Strike

[stray frost]

Same

[oak flare]

You might enjoy the experimental branch. Vote kick is fixed with feedback in UI. Griefers get kicked all the time.

[real dome]

Yeah and it tells how much votes needed

[nova shuttle]

or you mean griefers kick others all the time

[harsh laurel]

I wish there was an ability to upload 6mb "tapes" you could play in cars and portable boomboxes.

I want to drive through Everon with Lady Gaga blasting.

[foggy wyvern]

brother have you ever heard of soundboards

[harsh laurel]

Yes brother, I have.

[honest trout]

Good to know, this will likely carry over to the stable build in a couple of weeks? I assume I have to reconfigure all my keybinds, graphics and game settings?

[river cairn]

Is it a known issue that Render Scale is not saved when you exit game? I set it to (Borderless full screen) 3440x1440, exit game, come back and it's again 3456x1479. I need change that every time.

Maybe the time has come when this can be changed?

[solemn fossil]

There were some great radio mods that added a ton of songs a while back but im pretty sure theyre all broken now

[harsh laurel]

I really wish the BTR could use the 100 PKM boxes

[brisk brook]

Single load btr

[harsh laurel]

I think using the "Loiter" button by the emplacements screw up your ability to enter vehicles and whatnot

[rare pilot]

I keep hearing people to ask Bohemia to change the M249 to the version with the STANAG mag thing on the side

I too wanna turn my Machinegun into a bolt action (it'll jam like hell)

[subtle plume]

stanag mag?? give us belts!

[rare pilot]

Yeah, US designed an adapter for the M249 that lets it feed 30 rounders, to kind of mimic the same functionality between the AK and RPK

[brisk brook]

Rpk isnt good conparison, both ak and rpk are mag fed. Rpk mags also go into ak. Diffrence is heavier barrel etc.

[rare pilot]

RPK can be given AK mags when they're in a tight pinch

The US realized that if they lose their M249 belts the Machinegun is useless, whereas if the Russians lose an AK mag or two, their RPK is not

So they wanted to offset that by making the SAW take STANAGs

[brisk brook]

Idea is since saw puts down more volume of fire, and belts are not in the plenty, saw could share rifleman stanags which are way more plentiful in a pinch.

[rare pilot]

Exactly what I said

[brisk brook]

They normally dont lose them, it just runs out.
And if immidiate ressuply isnt avalible, use that.

But normally it doesnt happen. Gear is packed for mission duration and needs. Its sortova plan C if all else fails.

As youve said yourself, using it with stanag is rather suboptimal.

[rare pilot]

Exactly why I said it's a bad idea and people should stop begging for it

[harsh laurel]

https://youtu.be/vCNw9Z2Q3T0

I'd love this, it would be neat, however, it is just a daydream

[harsh laurel]

Anyways, I watched a video of VBS3 from 2018 and they had the ability to use weapons from inside vehicles.

Really grinds my gears that reforger does not have this feature (yet)

[brisk brook]

A3 also has it.

[harsh laurel]

Oh right

[nova shuttle]

I don't get that at all.

They made so many improvements from A3 yet that is missing.

[brisk brook]

Arma3 got it later also. Post release

[harsh laurel]

Will it be possible to dig mines underground?

Currently they stick out like sore thumbs, especially on grounds that could be dug into

[errant leaf]

most likely

[harsh laurel]

The building preview is a tad bit too visible. The bright white light is deadly, as I cannot see the enemy walk up to me.

Also I wish that the building radius was larger.

Another issue is that as your character is digging, they move, which means that you sometimes get out of range while you dig

[violet vale]

Another issue is that as your character is digging, they move, which means that you sometimes get out of range while you dig

do you mean during the digging loop, or when pressing F and going to digging anim? @harsh laurel

[brisk brook]

Right when it first swings the sovel.
Like stand just on the fringe of the dissasemble range, hold F to begin, and when your guy brings shovel up, he is out of the range and action is cancelled.

Same issue if u look around while preforming assembly/dissasembly

[harsh laurel]

The digging loop, though shenanigans have occured while going to the digging anim.

Squad tw
|| I like the way how Squad handles this: there is no central point of an emplacement, it is a wide radius where you can dig anywhere to get it built. However, you could do something silly like climb ontop, hide, and dig it down ||

[brisk brook]

Thats deep...

[violet vale]

I find that very strange. they should use character entity for distance detection, bone animation should not ahve any implication.

ill inquire

[brisk brook]

I can record you a video later

[violet vale]

yes please, that would be appreiated and helpful 🙂

[olive trail]

A player was hiding in there, it is so dark, that not even the flash from his gun could be seen.

[foggy wyvern]

portal to the shadow realm

[brisk brook]

Here u go, digging in 3rd person works fine, as you can see (i stopped digging).
However same place in first person it instantly interrupts the dig, but as i've said, it only happens on a fringe of the interaction range.

If i move closer it works.
(tested in SP conflict)
https://streamable.com/he6q45

[violet vale]

alright thanks!
id say thats pretty minor given theres the easy workaround of being closer, but ill pass it on.

[brisk brook]

its minor yeah. But then i cant disasemble from somewhat cover 😛

[violet vale]

disassembling while under fi... I won't ask :p

[brisk brook]

Also third person range for disassembly looks huge now, i can disassemble from outside this tent now

[rare pilot]

Its the meta to capture a base

Destroy their services while friendlies suppress
That way you can capture it faster with less people

[brisk brook]

That way you can capture it in less than an hour*

[harsh laurel]

is there a button for the car clutch or "neutral"

[marble kindle]

You can shift into neutral if you disable driving assistance

[harsh laurel]

I really think that "unconcious" player state should also just be a ragdoll. Currently, if you see their stance you know they are still alive (and you will commit a warcrime)

[errant leaf]

i think the unconcious animation is fine for now but i think there are more animations that might be implemented making it harder to ID unconscious targets among the dead, but rn what we really need is carrying and dragging!

[harsh laurel]

Different animations and manhandling people would also be neat.

But currently it is just too obvious if someone is unconcious. They get shot, ragdoll a bit, then place themselves in near-perfect position 100% of the time.

[errant leaf]

i agree, it is very easy to identify downed enemies, its even worse when killfeed is on

[harsh laurel]

The killfeed should be on so I can screencap how many people I tk'd after crashing a transport truck 100kmh to a tree due to my looking at the pretty Everon landscape

[ornate marlin]

No.

[solemn fossil]

High stakes musical chairs at 500ft

[main tide]

probably not a massive deal but imo the 3d exterior model of the UH1H huey shoiuld be changed to incorporate wire strike protection system. its the sharp knife like object just above the the top of the aiframe, in the middle above the pilot/copilot. This was a standard feature of hueys. Certainly within the 1980s to its final retire date.

you nitpick every detail with the cold war vehicles that BI may as well hire you by this point, you can be the historically accuracy guy 👍

[fierce pebble]

Love doing this so I can gof stuff and move at the same time so people can’t shoot me

[fierce pebble]

They will probably get Collision when they add power infrastructure

[mild wraith]

He's definitely a WarThunder leaker

[ornate marlin]

The reality of infact not "zipping under" is often disappointing

[errant leaf]

agreed 😆

[marble kindle]

Thing is that they couldn't just be rock solid either, that makes no sense

[opal raven]

So just have them apply rotor blade damage?

If the blades contact that is

[spare valley]

lmao this is the guy that made bohemia make arma 3 "near future" so they could take artistic liberties

[main tide]

I thought they took artistic liberties so they wouldnt have to pay ip licensing fees to defense contractors for using names and likeness of rl vehicles or weapons. 😆

And thus make developed costs cheaper

[brisk brook]

Well technically you dont anymore. Not for guns. And not for 10 year old guns

[main tide]

Irrc even was all that legal drama about Activision using humvees in cod, being sued for not paying out an ip liscnese to gm. Sure activision won that court case but that's lots of money spent in lawyer fees to win that case

[olive trail]

The indoctrination of the player base into military shit is enough of a payment for most of those defense contractors.

[spare valley]

🤣

[brisk brook]

Dunno how it is in americas, but looser in these civil cases has to pay legal fees.

Also weapon designations like m16 m249 can be used freely, and you make slight diffrences to model

If you use name/model is diffrent. But again after 10 years it enters public domain, soo...

Except Didney, they keep finding loopholes to drag it. But they dont make guns (yet).

[harsh laurel]

How are you supposed to stop "point with finger continously"

[brisk brook]

Won't that make them op though? Like if they were able to run over enemies on the sidewalk

[brisk brook]

not nuff clearance 😛

[errant leaf]

lmao

humvees worked and then they broke them, then they fixed them, and then they broke them again 😡

[oak flare]

I do appreciate that IRL humvees have a reputation for being under-powered, under-steering and under-armoured sub-par vehicles, and all of that is very well represented in the game.

[subtle plume]

Atleast the humvees start in game

[eternal fjord]

Not enough copies of 5988's all listing the same fault strewn about the interior

[errant leaf]

Now now, humvees weren't too bad back in the 80s, nowadays not so much

lmao

[brisk brook]

What do you think?

[foggy wyvern]

I dont know!

[brisk brook]

Its a joke that bohemia took too seriously

[harsh laurel]

You can flip your car on that curb

[remote hearth]

Is that only hummvee problem?

[brisk brook]

Ye. (On exp)

[errant leaf]

i am more just annoyed that they fixed them and somehow they are broken again!

[brisk brook]

Budget cuts for suspension

[harsh laurel]

I can't turn on the flashlight after switching out my chest rig from Lifchik to Lifchik - Grenadier

[distant ore]

We fixed them, but then it introduce a crash, so we remove the fix. The fix is bigger and can't be added to the version like that. We are aware, it will be fixed in a future update

[harsh laurel]

is the LAW broken? It seems to not injure people in the BTR

[fair dove]

Am I to understand that the humvees won't be fixed this next stable update? Not a good look for 1.0 release if so.

[main tide]

Humvees are underpowered today anyways because they've overloaded with armor, they trying to make them into mraps ( an upgrade from 6.2L 150 HP to 6.5L with 190 HP ain't gonna cut it. To contrast the late production civilian hummer h1 had like 300 hp engine)

The non armor humvees in reforger are actually pretty sweet rides. Way nicer then a uaz. That's for sure. Jeeps faster on a road. But offroading humees still superior.

[harsh laurel]

when will these lights get fix

[brisk brook]

Think u need to replace your right light bulb

[zinc river]

Check the blackmarket. Some russian QM may swindle some spare parts for a bit extra cash...

[ruby oasis]

Hey can the devs restrain from changing the keybinds every 2 weeks

[harsh laurel]

Its only experimental

If you were on stable, the keybinds change would be less so frequent

[honest trout]

It would like to see some subsets of capture points on the scale of Arland on the Everon map for some variety. While Arland plays really well, the 32 players are spread way to thin on Everon and there is no way to effectively defend all of the points. Half of the teams just end up capping each others unguarded points repeatedly while the other charge in aimlessly in hope of seeing some action. Distant objective points often go ignored for most of the game. I know a conflict overhaul is planned in the final strike roadmap, but his should be a low effort way of adding some much needed variety in the meantime. For the final version of Everon conflict I think we either need more players or fewer objective points and possibly shorter distances inbetween. It feels rather pointless to capture points that are not defended and vice versa.

[muted depot]

Is the respawning and supply flow systems from Reforeger Experimental Conflict mode will be a thing in Reforger Stable after next update?

Right now in the Experimental version of Reforger's Conflict Mode, after you build a Radio Relay on an capture point, there is a constant flow of Supplies to all the buildings that have Supply storage in them. That basically allows you to respawn on the point endlessly until the enemy will demolish your Radio Relays. You can also spam as many Radio Relays as you want until there is free space left for them.

This making capturing and defending points a very frustrating and immersion breaking process of constant dying and respawning right in front of enemies to kill a few of them and then die afterwards, just to respawn after 5 seconds and continue the pointless meat grinder with constant people spawning right infront of your eyes. This cycle can go on for hours.

The situation is less annoying on Everon where you can try to cut off enemy communication lines by capturing points behind enemy lines, but on Arland after 40 minutes ig, if any of the teams weren't successful at capturing both main objectives, the only way to win is to frustrate the enemy team to leave the game before they do the same to you.

Also this system eliminates the logistics disruption gameplay style when you get behind enemy lines trying to intercept enemy supply trucks and heavy vehicles until they came to the frontline, because atm you can spawn BTR's and .50 cal Humvees right on point where all the fighting is happening if there is heavy vehicle depo.

[hearty whale]

the entire spawn system is a bit fucked rn imo with radios mhq's and being able to spawn on bases being attacked attacking and defending is just annoying cause there will always be endless waves of attackers and defenders with 0 need for logi

they should rework how all spawns work (radios bases mhq's)

imo it would be way more fun if you would need logi running transport for troops to go on attacks and bring them to points to defend

but for a system like that too work you would need people actually communicating and playing as a team and we all know that aint happening

[olive trail]

What if we removed the ability to spawn on bases, instead you can only spawn on the hq, deployed radios, and mhq

[brisk brook]

Good luck defending any base then.

Perhaps would work if u had AI enabled, so ai defenders, buy you a minute while you drive across everon

[hearty whale]

no cause then attackers get a massive advantage
if base spawns go so do radio spawns need to go

[hearty whale]

there should be dedicated defenders for each base

[olive trail]

You can place defensive radios/mhq

[hearty whale]

that gives you a total of 3 spawns
theres alot more then 3 bases

[brisk brook]

Defenders have infinite ppl with current supplies, its impossible to drain base.

Attackers get 1 spawn every 60s. Defenders get 1 every 10 s. And in that 10s you gain 10 supplies back, so you can spawn again.

You cant man all bases even on 64 or 100 p servers. If u wanna atfack at all.

[hearty whale]

i was responding to rusty saying removing the ability to spawn on bases without removing (or reworking) radios and mhq's
i do agree to many bases are able to be captured at once radio ranges for antennas should be decreased

some bases just have fucking insane range its stupid

cant cav hill reach monti and entre deux?

bases should only be able to have radio range to the bases next to it

[brisk brook]

Only possibility is back capping, which isnt always possible.

Also there is already a ticket for it on feedback tracker.

Im no game designer, so i wont argue further, but i know something is flawed. But replacing bad system with worse one isnt a way to go.

[hearty whale]

i just want logi to become a more important part of the game since exp update ive felt zero need for logi outside of very early game

[stoic pasture]

Issue with the vote to kick system being abused, kicking players they don't like but without reason, also admins getting kicked by trolls trying to get rid of server admins. Think there should be something in place, maybe a thing in config to make sure certain players (admins) can have their ID or gamertags added so they can't be vote kicked. I don't know.

[harsh laurel]

They should just copy one of Squads gamemodes or fully implement Escalation mod gamemode

[brisk brook]

Why would they copy?

In that case play squad if you wanna copy

[hearty whale]

also just gonna say this
teleporting just needs to go
theres no good reason for it to be here

[real dome]

its a feature of conflict

[hearty whale]

it shouldnt be

[real dome]

half of the players dont even know how to use it

[hearty whale]

Then why keep it in?
most the players that do know how to use it dislike it

[real dome]

what are the reasons for it being so bad?

[hearty whale]

i wonder whats bad about letting people teleport to enemy vp's that surely doesnt make roadblocks and non vp bases useless

spawns are already bs with how radios work this just makes the issue 10 times worsed

[real dome]

i mean it makes it easier to take for example, far bases but its biggest convinience is early game, late game its balanced imo, but what marko has said where he thinks people should just be able to spawn on squad leaders would be a good idea too.

You can incorporate teleporting into your play style, making games faster.

[hearty whale]

arma games arent supposed ot be fast can people stop trying to turn this game into fuicking cod

if you want a fast paced game go play battlefield

[real dome]

there are countless amounts of game modes in arma 3

[pure gyro]

Squad is nice but there are reason I would rather not, first starting with squads and being forced to become squad lead because someone created a squad so they could delete it and have the squad play hot potato with the role. Second once you are squad lead you get some 17 year old on power trip as command, or worse command that tries to micro manage the team that just ends up feeding you into a meat grinder without changing tactics. The whole force you into a squad and then force you to listen to some nut bag sucks.

At least with reforger you can hop on for 20 minutes without taking an earful or directly dragging the team down, I can basically play however I want without directly compromising the mission. With squad if you aren't together then you're fucked as a team. That may be fine for squad but most Arma players in general aren't super talkative let alone always in the right mindset to work together. I know plently of people who can push and win the game with 5/16 people but most of them hop on with a gameplay loop in mind, not to play the meta and get a boring win. Now that TP is in, it feels like you have to play the meta(TP) in order to keep the game alive

[hearty whale]

this is not arma 3 tho

[real dome]

well its not supposed to be either arma 3 or 4

[hearty whale]

teleporting does not enhance the gameplay of conflict it just makes it less arma

you shouldnt be able to teleport toenemy bases

[real dome]

arma is not just conflict

[hearty whale]

reforger is mostly conflict

also what kinda argument in favor of teleporting is that

[pure gyro]

Teleporting just feels like you guys added retention for zoomers with low attention spans 🙄

[hearty whale]

literally ytes

tiktok ruined this generation fr 💀

[real dome]

the thing about your opinion is that you are referencing a game thats not supposed to be a arma and a arma game.

[hearty whale]

next their gonna add a phone thyat plays npc streamers so p[eople dont get bored

[hearty whale]

the games literally called ARMA reforger

[real dome]

but its not a arma game tho, its not a fully fledged one its not even basic

[hoary dragon]

Yeah I agree it’s ridiculous

[hearty whale]

when even me and siya agree on something you know theres a issue

[hoary dragon]

Last night I saved the Soviets game by teleporting to an empty purple base which was kms behind the front you shouldn’t be able to do that

[hearty whale]

also thats still not a real argument in favor of having fucking teleportation

while i cant say what the cia has and has not invented i am fairly certain that in the 80s the us army did not have the ability to teleport

ig all player transportation should be done by players/logi instead of the stupid spawns we have now

[olive trail]

admins can't be kicked if they are logged in as gm.

[harsh laurel]

Its just the silly goofy conflict gamemode

[hearty whale]

conflict could be a awesome mode if they changed some things

[harsh laurel]

There are too many points for all the players available.

I wish it was more of a frontlines kinda game, where you couldnt capture points if you did not have a neighbouring point.

But the LAB6 escalation gamemode mod. Now that had promise

[hearty whale]

yea that would be sick

i think just decreasing radio ranges would do that

i wish the game would function as an actual frontline but idk if theres a way to really do that on the map size of everon

[real dome]

radio range i think is supposed to be that

[stoic pasture]

Thought you got kicked from vote kick though dude?

[olive trail]

I wasn't logged in as GM when I was kicked, since I only login when I need to deal with something.

I did give feedback that it should be changed, so names in the config shouldn't be kicked, so hopefully we get that, so we aren't forced to login all the time.

[frosty gulch]

@hearty whale @hoary dragon Been saying the same stuff from the start when Teleporting got added. I agree its lame...

[olive trail]

To add to this, the ability to see who initiated the vote will go a long way into stopping players from abusing it.

[hearty whale]

yea teleporting just straight up needs to go

[frosty gulch]

100%

[muted depot]

The main problem with respawns is the freaking bloodbath loop when defenders just spawning right in front of you in godmode

[hearty whale]

yea the ability for either side to spawn right next to bases/on bases should be removed

rn all you have to do is throw endless waves at a base and defenders just need to endlessly respawn

its boring and unrealisitc

[muted depot]

Completely immersion breaking and frustrating. This is really creating a need to frustrate your enemies before they do the same to you.

I literally had a 3hrs of endless fighting on Arland which ended with all my community quitting the server (we got 8 players, so i’m 100% sure that enemies won that round after we left)

[harsh laurel]

Feels like I have had very similar situations

[hearty whale]

yea arland is even worse cause the bases will be endleslly build up

they need to remove the ability to spawn on frontline bases and remove radios
maybe keep mhqs in but make them work off supplies

[muted depot]

Yep, but on stable it still pretty good

[hearty whale]

attacking bases should require actual logistics planning and transport not just a guy sitting in a bush with a radio while endless waves of infantry spawn on them

[harsh laurel]

Territory Control (akin to Ace of Spades or Squad) would also be an interesting Reforger gamemode. A true HOI4 frontline experience

[muted depot]

I hope that they will force two people nearby have radio and physical supplies in backpack to let people spawn on them

And same with mhq’s

[hearty whale]

it should just be removed neither side should have a infnite spawn

i think only mhqs should stay if they start working of supplies and get disabled when enemies are near

rn theres no reason to have actual defenders for bases cause if they get attacked you can just respawn there in 10 seconds

In the current way the game works theres zero reason to stay on bases theres zero reason to stay alive for longer hten a minute and theres zero reason to run logi

[hearty whale]

also you shouldnt be able to spawn with saved loadouts
saved loadouts should be changed to where its just a faster way to equip your gear at an armory instead of being able to spawn on a radio with your full kit

being able to spawn with saved loadouts literally just makes the new supply system in arsenals completely irrelevant outside off the first 10 minutes off a game

[olive trail]

This will bring us back to the boring rifleman vs rifleman all the time that we had before.

[hearty whale]

if you want your kit you will build up a base if you wanna spawn ontop of a enemy base you only get standard kit

why even add the new arsenal system then at this point

[olive trail]

why though? let players spawn with their gear, so we can have proper gunfights.

[hearty whale]

run proper logistics have proper gunfights

i dont consider having 5 guys with grenade launchers and 100 grenades spamming at you proper gunfights

[olive trail]

this means the loadout saving should be adjusted, not scrapped.

[hearty whale]

it should be made that when you save a loadout when you respawn you can go up to a arsenal pres a button and get your loadout not spawn on the frontline with one

[olive trail]

For example: I would rather if you can only save your loadout, if you have less then an x kg of weight on you.

[hearty whale]

if you spawn ontop of a enemy point having standard kit is a fair trade off

[olive trail]

Let's say 25 kg and under, you can save your loadout, more than that, and you need to use an armory to pick up more stuff.

[hearty whale]

then it should atleast be made that the supplies it cost to make your loadout get taken off a base when you respawn on it

cause rn the new arsenal supply system is completely irrelevant

the game should award the team that does proper logistics and defenses not the team that can spam more people out of a radio

reforger should make mechanics that make the team focus more on logistics instead of encouraging mindless human wave tactics to simmply attrition the enemy to death

[olive trail]

They should focus on tactics, not logistic. No one sane like doing logistic, the less we have to do logistic, and more we focus on strategy and tactic in regard to combat, the better.

[hearty whale]

there are insane people like me who like doing logistics

but even with tactics all the game needs you to do rn is just have a guy with a radio crawl in a bush and let endless waves attack a enemy base untill it breaks cause who cares if you die at worst you will be back within a minute with your full kit

[olive trail]

This is how other games similar to conflict gameplay do it, and they are perfect. Instead of a person having the radio on them, other games force you to deploy it on the ground, and it makes noise so finding it inside bushes is not impossible.

[hearty whale]

this is arma tho not squad post scriptum or hell let loose
if you want a consistent flow of troops to attack points with you shoudl plan that out and have consistent logi transporting troops up

[olive trail]

this is conflict, not arma.

[hearty whale]

conflict is a official mode of arma

[hoary dragon]

Then they’ll be targeted if someone is getting kicked by 15 players maybe they’re the problem🤷

[olive trail]

They are not the problem. Most players don't think before voting, they just want the notification gone.

[main tide]

Arsenal is still relevant. For base defense. If I repel a first wave tryingvto cap a base I can breath a sigh of relief that il take a short walk to an arsenal to re arm, and not have anxiety whether i will start running dry during a 2nd wave. Another reason why I still prefer to spawn hard top humved even if don't have the rank of Sgt to get the 50 cal mount. Because it atill comes pre loaded with some spare ammo and grenades. That me snd follow team mates can reaarm from the vehicle

[hearty whale]

im talking about the arsenal stuff costing supplies ofcourse its still usefull to get ammo

[main tide]

It's difficult to dedicate base defenders with game that has only 32 players on official servers. On a map the size of everon. On custom servers that jave beyond 64 sure I guess, more flexibility for defense. Perhaps being able to command ai will supplement a smaller player count and make base defending more feasible.

[hearty whale]

i dont think conflict is made for 32 players

[main tide]

Again who knows maybe one day the game will be stable enough to handle 128 player count plus each person having ai squads....

[foggy wyvern]

hopefully

[harsh laurel]

I hope BTR gets seats to sit on it

[astral valley]

Leaning left in third person seems to permanently shift the camera's position to the left. Seems that you can only restore the original position by leaning right.

[olive trail]

By design. Because the camera is over the shoulder

Most new 3rd person games, have this feature.

[astral valley]

Interesting, wasn't sure whether it is intentional, since it isn't a thing in Arma 3.

[warm cypress]

dude...

what if i do like doing logistics 🥺

[harsh laurel]

I feel the cars are missing a clutch button so i could neutral it asap.
Currently taking the foot off the pedal slows your car fown so much due to the gear still being in

[oblique quest]

Arma reforger is racist

Filled with little racist kids in numbers thinking there edgy and there’s nothing you can do about it

[muted depot]

i've met 2 racist jokes from random people for 120hrs of gameplay
for comparison i've heard twice more in one round of DMZ in MW2 when it came out

[muted depot]

I hope US will get a good tools to counter BTRs that is available earlier then sergant rank

[oblique quest]

It’s fine but it goes beyond there words they grief and troll

[hard bridge]

Do you think they are going to add falling trees or wait till the game is stable enought?

[hard bridge]

I like a strategic play, but sometimes I want to have some action like king of the hill, not like super quick rounds in mw2, because I really enjoyed and still do, the SOG PF DLC in Arma 3, King of the hill servers, that are dead, hope they get some life again

[muted depot]

There is not enough content (firearms\vehicles) to create a good KotH style mode rn. There will be no point in unlocks and other progression with only like 3 different weapon types and 2-4 different firearms in each type

[hard bridge]

But the urban combat is still fun

[hearty whale]

in 500 hours ive met like 3 people that were denying the holocaust lol
arma attracts some weird people

[rare pilot]

They do

The Jeep with the M2 on it will shred a BTR

Especially if front facing, aim for the windows
First the Gunner, then the driver, then shoot to kill while they're wondering while their gunner isnt shooting back

And why their driver isn't moving out of the line of fire

[errant leaf]

thats the weirdest one i have heard yet, most likely attention seekers

[hearty whale]

yea probably

[hoary dragon]

Don’t play us team it’s mostly them and their little kids

Soviet team is mostly chill and get on with things

[brisk brook]

It honestly is a flip of a coin. Ive played both sides with good and bad ppl

[hoary dragon]

I’ve played exlusively soviet team since may and I’ve only had one instance but we managed to make him leave

[brisk brook]

Dunno then u r lucky. I get wierd ppl all the time. But few mutes and problem resolved. Its much better now, since default frequency is squad, not platoon. So most annoying chatter is contained

[olive trail]

There are multiple times when I had to play on the soviet team so I can find out the unknown person who is shouting racial slurs on the us radio.

[harsh laurel]

High chance that soviet player is russian who has been to ukraine in past two years

[hoary dragon]

When I played us team there was someone saying 14/88 and other shit soviet team has its bad moments but American team is way worse

[thorn dawn]

Joined right as the round ended and saw this message.

[brisk brook]

Thats the end screen/debrief scren

But that text is very long

[thorn dawn]

that player nickname thing XD

[fair dove]

Speaking of name tags, it seems they bug out (disappear) when players get into/out of vehicles.

[rare pilot]

Hey

Hey wait a damn minute
Are those elevation markers?

Did they finally after all this time add elevation markers to the maps?

[olive trail]

they always were there, no?

[rare pilot]

No

They've never been there
Only the super big mountains to the south and Entre Deux had elevation markers

[calm slate]

Is there a way to report constantly racist trolls to BI so they can be blacklisted?

[olive trail]

no

report them to microsoft instead if they are on xbox

[harsh laurel]

Youre right wtf

[rare pilot]

One thing i gotta give Bohemia credit for is the fact that when the 1.0 update went to experimental

They had the helicopters spawnable at Private, to get them out fast enough to stress test any bugs that came from them
Find and fix first > Balance later

[hollow blaze]

Is experimental running better than stable right now? Performance wise?

[rare pilot]

WAY better

Odd fact but the helicopters were literally the MOST STABLE thing in the new update

[noble beacon]

What about to remove it?

"Remove walkie-talkie from 9 slot"

https://feedback.bistudio.com/T177111

Now, except to admire the walkie-talkie, there is nothing you can do with it

[timber sparrow]

You can inspect it and then adjust it or toggle it

[rare pilot]

You can do that by pressing G.....

[olive trail]

You can also do it without pressing G

[thorn dawn]

on dayz you have to actually interact with it. and you can attach it on your gear.

are backgrounds sounds audible when transmiting? it'd be cool to hear gunshots while the other side is talking

[olive trail]

I would love that too. Sometimes a player will have stereo instead of a headset, and you can hear the gunshots behind them when they talk over the radio, and it sounds so cool.

[rare pilot]

Yes, you'll hear gunshots through their radios. It's a good touch

[errant leaf]

i didnt even know that was a thing!

[harsh laurel]

If you are having bad experiences you ought to record them

[real dome]

some people may just be talking with their friend group and said something offensive. There can be racist people but muting fixes it.

[errant leaf]

i agree, that is why they added the feature!

[olive trail]

This might be the only course of action on official servers, but please if you are playing on community servers, report any such action to the moderation team. No server that is worth anything will accommodate hateful people.

[noble beacon]

How are players supposed to know about this feature if there isn't even a hint as to which button to press?

It looks like this feature is for hardcore servers, but not for regular ones

[brisk brook]

Little secrets

[timber sparrow]

The hint is simply missing at the moment. It will be added in future, unless we make it easier to trigger this feature, applying your feedback in that case.

[tawny brook]

Would love to see a hold breath function added

[harsh laurel]

I wish that when you "check injuries" all the wounded things would pop up. Meaning you can see easily what is bleeding and where.

Currently it just makes it available for you to look for the wounded limbs yourself. All the info only pops up once you find the damaged limb.
What is the check injuries for if you basically have to find them anyways?

[main tide]

as a form of feedback id request the developers to code M72 law to be discarded onto the ground after the rocket is fired, rather then forcing the player to fold it up to draw thier primary, or manually dump it from inventory. its a single shot AT weapons its meant to be disposed after use. SOG prarie fire did this.

[olive trail]

tab+x to dispose of it.

[solemn fossil]

Tbh id rather have to manually dispose of it, i try not to leave a trail of mags and launchers leading to my position

[main tide]

magazines weren't mentioned. As for laws, its kinda impossible to leave a literal "trail" to your position if you can only carry a max of two ( for practical reasons 99.9% of the time its only one)

[olive trail]

still, what butter said makes sense, we already have the ability to discard it easily whenever we want, making it so it is discarded after a shot will be a step backward imo.

[main tide]

i consider it a step forward. considering in the past arma also required manual disposal of a single shot AT weapon. A3 SOG priarie fire auto discarding it after use was the step forwards. Or at least would of been if it was made by BI and not a creator dlc

[noble beacon]

https://feedback.bistudio.com/T171968

[noble beacon]

The problem here is most likely that not everyone may like the fact that the game takes over control, even for a couple of seconds.

During this time, different events can happen and many people want to control the game themselves

[noble beacon]

Without any animation, yeah, it's fast

But not a good quality for 2023 year 😉

[olive trail]

There is an animation. From what I understand, you seem to want a toss animation, not a drop/discard animation.

[stray frost]

Would prefer it auto drop and allow me to pick it back up if I want to... especially tab X isn't very intuitive to me

[raw juniper]

Still getting the glitch where my grenade becomes stuck in my hand after I pull the pin in experimental

[rare pilot]

Fall off a rock and trigger the Fall animation, itll get you unstuck

[raw juniper]

Thanks 👍

[errant leaf]

pretty much just jump off a cliff and you wont be holding the grenade anymore, pretty realistic 😆

[violet vale]

oh god this still exists in experimental? I havent experienced it at all myself since 1.0, as opposed to quite often on 0.9.9.
ah well, the hunt continues I guess 🙂

[errant leaf]

i have only gotten items stuck in my hands on less than 10 occasions throughout my time playing since the game released, so it is rather rare for me at least, but it is very annoying when it is present

[violet vale]

it is, especially in the middle of a firefight.

[ornate marlin]

I've had it happen to me pretty much every dev playtest atleast once. On the modded one it was happening to me pretty much every life.

[violet vale]

what? I play everytime and I didnt have it once. thats strange. after what I thought was the fix I threw over 100 nades in MP playtests couple of times, was unable to repro.

well thats annoying

[ornate marlin]

Yeah, if I use grenades a lot in a playtest it happens. I also think there is a way to do it with like switching weapons while in or getting into a vehicle. That one is more annoying cuz I usually find out about it when my weapon doesn't do any dmg.

Either way, I don't think there is a reliable repro for it

[real dome]

Maybe alt tabbing can cause it, or just time or if you do another action while doing one. If you spam controls it happens sometimes

[violet vale]

I defo was spamming movement while throwing the hundred grenades, all directions, switching stance ect.

this one is definitely tricky to track down

[real dome]

Play some games and when it appears just clip it

I have also had it happen when jumping out of vehicle

[noble beacon]

Is it this issue?

https://feedback.bistudio.com/T176694

[errant leaf]

so the 1.0 stable release is coming very soon, the big question on my mind is, have they fixed night and interior lighting??

[brisk brook]

Night no, for interior all i can say is:
https://youtu.be/QJHUbtR0yI8?feature=shared

[errant leaf]

i miss night

[ornate marlin]

I would say that the current night is better since, with the exception of floodlights, there is not really a way to counter the darkness. On one hand I do miss not being able to see anyone around me and getting into funny mixups where I am suddenly in the middle of an enemy squad without either of us realising. On the other hand I also like being able to play normally at night, until flares are added.

[errant leaf]

true i guess, but even if it was a tad darker i would be happy

rn it pretty much defeats the purpose of having a torch it is so bright!

[ornate marlin]

Yeah, not like the flashlights really help much at night.

[errant leaf]

also hard to get those dark screenshots that really show off the lighting and muzzle flash

[ornate marlin]

I would argue that they actually make it harder to navigate at night when you use flashlights

[errant leaf]

dont make me stick up for your own games flashlights! 😆

i do agree that nights used to be too dark to the point where it wasnt fun but i think we could get a nice in between

[ornate marlin]

Am I not allowed to dislike things in a game that I work on?

[errant leaf]

also torch filters would be cool, just saying

[ornate marlin]

They would be cool

[errant leaf]

but given the state of night previously i was suprised that flares werent pushed to be released earlier, was there any particular reason for there being such a delay for them?

[ornate marlin]

• the flashlights still have their uses, I meant mainly for outside navigation. The light on your screen would make it harder to see the surroundings and thus movement was harder. For interiors the flashlights work great

[errant leaf]

that is tru, but honestly i just love it when the enemy turns their torch on and shines it at the rest of there squad, i save them for last because of their good deeds! lmao

[real dome]

Flashlights make your eyes adapt to the dark worse, and also give your position away

[errant leaf]

they are nice for getting around a pitch black base though, bc we cant place light structures

[marble kindle]

I think the nights should be made dark again, and make bright nights exclusive to the bright nights setting. 🥴

[brisk brook]

Also nice for blinding ppl in the dark rooms. Install a few lamps facing the door and nobody can see inside.

[hearty whale]

Should be done once flares are added untill then it should be this way

[ornate marlin]

ngl this do be kinda funny

[brisk brook]

Well not anymore cause it aint dark

[hearty whale]

Night time just sucks without flares so untill their added it should stay bright

[real dome]

then less informed people who just spawn on your radio, shoot a flare and cause all of you to be spotted

[rare pilot]

I dont wear radio backpacks cause I HATE when a good play is ruined by inexperenced players who think theyre rambo

"Oooh, Oooh! I see one! Imma get a kill!"
"Yeah, and what about the next 7 dudes behind him? Wait until theyre ALL in the open"

[real dome]

yeah, i realised how good droppable radios are

set deployd radio, and go snipe the other way, that way your teammates keep enemies busy

[hearty whale]

Indont use radios cause its a boring mechanic and encourages bad strategy

I prefer playing with a group that actually has a incentive to play as a team and stay alive

Having a radio on basically just tells your group "i can play like a idiot cause i will be back within a minuye anyway"

[real dome]

helps to balance the bugginess of game, you get killed by invisible enemy, you spawn back and learn on your mistake

[hearty whale]

Invisible enemies is a pretty rare glitch in my nearly 600 hours ive maybe seen it 10 times at most
Also the gameplay shouldnt be build around bugs

[real dome]

oh it happens a lot for me

[brisk brook]

In past 2 days ive "seen" at least 5.
Not to mention multiple occurance of silenced shots.
On exp tho.

[hearty whale]

Oh yea shots not having sounds is definitly a issue

Ive noticed it always happens when in third person in the btr the btr gun makes no sound

[real dome]

yeah but we mean as of from guns, lets say a ambush, you dont hear it, or a sniper

[hearty whale]

Yea ik ive experienced this one too

But its still a bad idea to make the game around the bugs that exist

[real dome]

the game isnt made around bugs but thats one work around for you

[hearty whale]

Radio backpacks just make the game way to forgiving and encourages braindead playstyles

Especially with being able to spawn with your full loadout on them

[real dome]

forgiving games are fun

remember, that its just a feature of conflict so if you dont like it, make yourself another mode or play another mode

[brisk brook]

You can make modded conflict where you remove lr radios and teleporting altogether.
But vanilla one should be more casual

[hearty whale]

Theres a difference between casual and encouraging braindead strategy

[brisk brook]

Brainded isnt fixed by removing features. Its about players brains.

[hearty whale]

It is when the game gives you zero reason to play differently

[real dome]

when game actually starts getting players then will we start about changing stuff

[hearty whale]

Why bother with actual strategy and logistics when you can just crawl in a bush witha. Radio and spawn endless waves

[brisk brook]

How tf are you even supposed to take base without lr radio nowdays, with infinite waves of ai every 30s and infinite respawns of defenders every 10s

With spawn protection on top of that

You will loose, even if you bring your whole team

[hearty whale]

The entire spawns are fucked and should be changed

Ive already said this before both base spawns and radios need to be reworked

[brisk brook]

Entire gamemode has to be changed by that logic.

[hearty whale]

True

Alot of thinhs should be changed

[brisk brook]

As ive also said before. Im not a game designer, i just point out whats broken. If you have a solid system that will work in all situations, post it in the feedback tracker.
Here it will be spammed away in the matter of hours, and you can have same conversation tommorow

[real dome]

put some ideas in, make your own, see if the community likes it

[hearty whale]

What kinda argument is that i didnt pay full price for this game just to have to make it myself

A "milsim" shouldnt encourage the braindead strategies thay this game does

[real dome]

One of armas main things is modders and also by sayin put some ideas i mean make some suggestions on feedback tracker.

[hearty whale]

Last time i checked the suggestion section is gone

[real dome]

on feedback tracker?

[hearty whale]

Ye

You mean the one on the website right?

[real dome]

yea

[hearty whale]

Yea that one was gone last time i checked

[real dome]

suggestions are feedback

[hearty whale]

I talked to a dev a while back who said there was a seperate one but it was gone for some reason

Either way this is also a feedback channel so i can say it here

[real dome]

make a thread

[hearty whale]

Why ive already said it here

Its jot like this place is active to the point where you cant read messages

[real dome]

less unrelated things in the thread

[hearty whale]

As i said this place isnt really active enough to where that matters

[real dome]

you do you

[brisk brook]

Make new, it will be assigned feedback later by Geez

[harsh laurel]

Does normal barbed wire do anything? I keep just being able to walk on it if it is part of a roadblock or other emplacement

[olive trail]

Only the US standalone razor wire can stop enemies from climbing over it.

Gets told were to submit feedback
“I didn’t pay $30 to play 600 hours and then make this game myself”

[hearty whale]

look at the channel name

[olive trail]

It is crazy that we can move like this while being able to perfectly see through scopes.

[solemn fossil]

GM Radial Menu becomes invisible (but can still be interacted with) in 1.0.0.47. Its happened to me twice almost immediately after launching local Game Master on Xbox. The wheel is there at the beginning but as soon as i go to the spawn menu and spawn in, it becomes invisible

[errant leaf]

yeah they firstly need to fix the strafe spamming, and add more scope blur/misalignment when moving

[shell olive]

Please make it so that when we join servers, we can click a details button on individual mods waiting for download, or are currently downloading/updating, so we can go read the mod page, see what's in it, and check out the changelog if there's an update.

[olive trail]

Banned a troll, then he comes back with another account, and start abusing the vote kick trying to kick everyone.

[marble kindle]

Doesn't even work correctly right now, that black vignette that shows when looking at it from an odd angle only moves into one direction

[broken scaffold]

There's some really bad clipping with the American pilot suit and both the rolled up Afghanka and rolled up BDU

[errant leaf]

yes, very noticeable, probably not the hardest to fix either

[final comet]

I think there should be a way to tell who the enemy is that is talking over your radio in conflict mode and being able to mute them. There always seems to be that one enemy who gets your radio and subsequently starts being unbearably annoying, racist, or just generally really toxic.

[olive trail]

The ability to speak over the enemy radio will be a thing of the past tomorrow. It is being removed with the new update..

[broken scaffold]

True

[stone oar]

On this topic, is there also still that glitch with the grenade launcher where it freezes the grenade round in mid air right where you shot it from and then does this every time after, making the grenade launcher broken?

[harsh laurel]

I thought it was a server option

[real dome]

just go on a muting rampage

[real dome]

whats the issue?

[harsh laurel]

In experimental this is an serverside option if you can talk on the enemy radio

[ashen pollen]

Why is there no option to invert mouse vertically for only aircraft control? The default mouse aircraft control feels wrong to me, pulling back the mouse should pull back the cyclic but it pushes forward by default.

[violet vale]

this glitch, I havent seen or heard of in over a year. but that would be unrelated to hand-grenade getting stuck.
is it Stable or Experimental

[frail shale]

I hope the update fixes the bug where I can’t reload or change my weapon and have to literally respawn to fix it

[brisk brook]

It wont xD

[coral gust]

Did you try dropping them on the floor

[frail shale]

No but will next time

[ornate marlin]

That doesn't help. I think there is only a few ways to fix it. Falling down from something, respawning are the only ones I know of.

[coral gust]

Worked for me a few times

[ornate marlin]

if it's the bug they are talking about, you won't be able to drop any items

[vocal trail]

Hopping in and driving a vehicle forward about 10 meters and hopping back out has fixed it for me a few times

[olive trail]

A-D spam in general. A-D spam while being able to perfectly see through the scope or binos specifically.

[vocal trail]

It’s hard to see what you have selected in the field manual.

Separate from above: Unable to stop pointing once you start in 1.0.0.47 on Xbox lol

able to exit the finger if I pull out map, but pointing no longer works after that

[brisk brook]

Go prone

[harsh laurel]

Been an issue for awhile

[timber sparrow]

Scope vignette will be tweaked in future

[runic halo]

Please we need mapping command on Xbox for controllers, the letf stick for lean right or left is awful and incorfortable, get it back to RB or LB, but nice udpate anyway 👍

[violet vale]

this is a kown issue, ticketed and will be addressed.

[warped steeple]

In GM the ui wheel still disappears.

[solemn fossil]

It happens even faster than it did on 0.9.9

That bug haunts me in my dreams, its been around for what, 6 months?

[limber warren]

anyone know what's up with night time? i was hoping its just a bug but i don't see it in the known issues

[opal raven]

Try changing the time again. Just another bug but you can fix it for now.

[austere juniper]

good to know they still didn’t make nights darker 😑

[solemn fossil]

Gotta say i love the download "bar" for large mods in console.log

[fair dove]

with multiple loadouts available (more than 6), after your first respawn you can no longer scroll to the 2nd page of loadouts.

[austere juniper]

and somehow making the weather cloudy at night makes everything brighter 🤯

[austere juniper]

the fps drops are bad too, playing solo gm with nothing spawned in but my character and aiming and shooting with the vanilla m16 with a scope around city’s drops my fps by like 20-30….

[queen bone]

Why is combat ops player count so low?

Also i wish i was allowed to plug in any faction and map into Combat ops, as of now its massivly inferior recon ops.

[spare matrix]

server said 28/32... everything is wrong

[rare pilot]

Long time glitch that's still prevalent, not much you can do to prevent that unfortunately

[frosty gulch]

same, stutters in GM

[calm slate]

If you don't ever need to turn on vehicle headlights, then its too bright

[errant leaf]

i love those icons

[errant leaf]

bingo, it just scrubs a whole complex feature from the game just so it is easier?

[austere juniper]

even brighter nights mode didn’t need to be a thing, they just should’ve made vanilla always be a full moon and in the summer time, the nights where already super bright with those two things.

[errant leaf]

i think it was a cool feature for if you wanted to make your server a bit easier/arcady only thing is that there is no point making the night any brighter because there is no point it is already bright enough to the point where you dont need flashlights & vehicle lights! 😆

[terse beacon]

who greenlit this to go out of early access😂

[olive trail]

I did. Sorry guys, I had to come forward and take responsibility.

[nova shuttle]

Rusty did

I told him to think at least twice over it

he wasn't listening he kept insisting that it's ready

what can you do

[zinc river]

Put him on a stake and make a steak out of him. Then feed him to the lions. muahahahaha 😈

[terse beacon]

thats too merciful
i say we rather slam his nuts into a waffel iron

[rancid quest]

Anyone using controller having trouble pulling up the attachment radial wheel? It quickly disappears as soon as i pull it up. Not sure if its been reported yet.

[final comet]

Just finished my first match on 1.0 and experienced super low server fps. It would fluctuate from like 20 all the way down to 8 fps. The helis were almost unflyable because of it. My ping was at around 40-60 and my normal frames were 60fps

[rancid quest]

Restarting my game fixed that issue for me. Might be worth a try if you haven’t already.

[final comet]

The match ended. It just seemed like a huge issue with the playability so I thought I would post it here. Thanks though

[stone oar]

I wasn't sure if it still existed. I could have sworn I had experienced it only a few months ago.

Anyway, old bug that you may or may not be aware of. When the weapon a player is holding is in "low ready", you cannot fire right away by just pressing the trigger. It's bugged and you need to hit the trigger (which only gets you out of "low ready" to gun up), then release the trigger and hit it again to fire. Otherwise, you're stuck with your pants down holding the trigger and no bullets are coming out of your gun which gets you killed 100% of the time in CQB when using full auto.

This is on Xbox anyway. Please fix

[unreal skiff]

Hmm, I thought it was fixed

[short ingot]

There’s a helicopter bug when you fly around and you land somewhere none of the base services show up and no other vehicles, and or players can be seen until you are on the ground which causes you to crash your helicopter accidentally because you don’t know that there’s anything there. When will this get fixed?

Also this never happened on exp not 2 days before the release

[brisk brook]

Exp and stable are same. Exact copy pasta.

Just some dev tools disabled

[mossy light]

So it seems that the observation patrol points are still uninteractable from Exp in Stable. As much as I like the loiter patrol points I would like to be able to use the observation ones as well

[fair dove]

Using -loadSessionSave parameter, after completing a match, it's still loading in the built services from the previous match.

[blazing patrol]

devs are completely and totally psychopathic for saying this is a 1.0 release. it would be worth the bad press to delete literally every single video and tweet and press release about this being 1.0 and just pretending that didnt happen

im of course not even talking about feature sets or roadmaps. that is irrelevant to me. the fact im still getting crashes and disconnects this far into development is completely and totally unacceptable. you should feel embarassed you have a game that is essentially a walking simulator and 10 minutes into your walk you get thrown out of the game.

i dont give out negative reviews on steam usually because its not worth the time. but you should all really be ashamed you didnt fix the SINGLE issue that stopped this game from being massively popular at launch.

you people are going to get steamrolled in the reviews. this wouldnt have happened if you didnt label this a 1.0 release.

if its your honest intention to make arma4 run on this engine and netcode you should just stop now and get a 50 million dollar loan to move all this sht to unreal 5 or something

[mild wraith]

They've already experimented with that

[vestal condor]

I haven't experienced any crashes on vanilla in months

[olive trail]

I only crash when I log in and out of GM. Crashing as I play normally has all but gone.

[weak flax]

I’m mostly affected by low server fps but have also had some disconnects here and there

I see lobbies purging here and there too

My server fps mostly shows < 20

[olive trail]

the majority of players I see get disconnected on our server are na players playing on eu server.

[weak flax]

That would describe me

[narrow wraith]

Damn. As an NA player I do like PBS. I'll have to give it a shot to see if I'm affected at all by those disconnects.

[zinc river]

I play on PBS too, and live in SEA. So the ping usually below 200 plus minus. And never had disconnect yet since don't know how long ago. Hitreq still quite a problem though...

[stone oar]

This guy is completely right... if the issue of disconnection was fixed and the player count per server was 64+, you guys would be dominating the industry right now. Especially on Xbox, where all other AAA titles are tanking hard due to lack of innovation and terrible fundamental decisions from top of major companies.

This, so far, has been a massive failure of what could have been an incredible opportunity based on this single issue alone.

I mean... the amount of money that could have been made on Xbox alone is insane to think about

[shell lynx]

The enemy AI keeps spawing in the living quarters after we have already captured the base back

[weak flax]

Not sure if it’s related to low server fps but the other problem I’m having is bases and players don’t load in. I’ll spawn and run around for a solid 30 seconds before everything starts popping in

[olive trail]

do you have the game on an ssd? for me it is about three seconds before they load in.

[weak flax]

Yeah it is

[harsh laurel]

Haters will think this image is ||modded||.

Which brings to my point, I wish you could remove the trees with either shovels ||or small explosives || in vanilla aswell

[foggy wyvern]

hardest part is synchronizing which trees are gone to joining players, I wonder how they're going to handle tree destruction

[weak flax]

I was watching the Bastogne episode of band of brothers last night and all I could think about were mortars, trees, and destruction in Reforger

The soundtrack in this game makes me feel like I’m in the show

[harsh laurel]

I think the mod that already exists, has it figured out, haven't heard of problems.

[foggy wyvern]

oh good news

though I'm not sure if slapping action manager and rpl components on every tree is efficient

I guess you could setup a tree manager that holds state of all destroyed trees by entity id, and then it would send it to connecting players etc, so basically when you hit 1000 destroyed trees people get kicked out of the server for flooding network

[fair dove]

That "single issue" you guys are referring to likely has quite a lot of causes, not just one. Making it sound like there's only one bug as the cause.

[olive trail]

I remember the devs specifically saying that. Like there are tons of causes for this issues.

[real dome]

you need to delete it

[shell lynx]

I know but it seems like a bug to me

[real dome]

it is

[naive widget]

I was not sure whether to put this here or in conflict. Logistics players deserve more benefits and control over base building. Doubling XP for them over front line forces that take objectives. It would be nice to allow building of objects within structures. For example if I build a medical tent.. adding additional objects like tables and desks and things that support medical duties should increase heal times. Also why are bunks and furniture not have actions for sitting? Especially medical cost and stretchers.

[stray frost]

Such a Dr. Fraiser thing to say /s

I'd be worried about that getting out of hand fast

[spare matrix]

can we have the Post processing options back, i feel like my game lacks contrast and is too bright sometimes and i dont want to mess with monitor settings just to play arma

[stone oar]

I never said that and it's not bright to assume that's what he or myself was implying.

We're saying that this issue should have been an "all hands on deck" from the company to solve and solely focus on MONTHS ago. I certainly wouldn't care about any new content coming out for as long as it took for them to iron out this problem. The fact of the matter is that the disconnection issue has been extraordinarily damaging to this game.

[pseudo dome]

You have to dismantle it, install it again and then will come out of our unit.

[fair dove]

not bright eh? Well thats not very nice! 👎 I didnt really assume, you both said it was a "single issue" and I was trying to explain that the cause is likely not a single issue like you think it is, but an issue with many causes. Mods can also be a cause of this issue, and if it is the cause of your issue, thats not the fault of BI at all. Im not trying to defend BI either, I do agree that they pushed the 1.0 release too soon with too many bugs. Hell for all I know, y'all could be using crappy dial up speed internet making the issue on your end. 🤷‍♂️ Welcome to internet gaming! 😉

[naive widget]

@stray frost Just add in some limitations you know? So its not over populating sort of thing and ect..

[olive trail]

I just joined a server, spawned on a radio operator, players, and building did not render for me, I walked in what looks like an empty server, 150fps which was 👌 , few minutes later, I dropped dead.
When I spawned back, everything was there.

[fair dove]

Why does it seem like that last exp update introduced so many more problems then the previous updates. And y'all were like f it, release it anyways. 😭 Arma reforger: known issues edition lol

[warm cypress]

anybody else noticing ai not picking their guns back up after going uncon

[olive trail]

"Players getting killed by GM are punished for suicide" You can go ahead and remove this from the known issues list, and add it to the Added list, because my friends, this isn't an issue, this is the greatest feature to date.

*Someone is being an a-hole... pop one click, their respawn timer is 40 seconds now. Best feature ever.

[stone oar]

You're still assuming a lot and not taking the very simple point that we're trying to make. So let's start quoting your assumptions.

1. "... that the cause is likely not a single issue like you think it is..." No one said this or thought this for a second. No idea why you're saying that.

2. "Mods can also be a cause of this issue." No one was talking about mods. Just you. We're talking about regular version 1.0.

3. "Hell for all I know, y'all could be using crappy dial up speed". Like seriously? Sounds like a whole lot of assuming, almost every sentence, from you.

"Stop. Get help." - Michael Jordan

Oh, and welcome to the internet, where you're definitely not the smartest person! I mean that in general for everyone, not you specifically not being the smartest person. As in, assuming does more harm than good and you shouldn't jump to the conclusions that your perspective on how you read what someone says is their perspective and where they are coming from.

[fair dove]

wow! somehow i knew i was wasting my time on this guy 🤣

[shell lynx]

I know but I think it should disable automatically, imo it doesn't make sense that the enemy AI keeps spawning after we have captured the base

[zinc river]

Is sorting server by ping broken? It doesn't seem to sort anymore... seems like it always sort by player count at the top

[warm cypress]

lol

[gaunt marsh]

Don't worry I got a similar attitude from them earlier when talking about the helis

[stone oar]

@gaunt marsh @fair dove

I feel like I'm trying to explain algebra to a couple of 10 year olds talking with you guys. You see one peice of a point someone is trying to make, (we'll just call this solving for X) and can't understand how they got to that point...

So please, try to solve for X before just looking at X and not understanding what make "X" X

[vast condor]

Expanding the usage of the Red Cross

Before I begin this concept, I want you to have some background. I'm a huge gamer, and when I play games, especially war games, I'm always looking for the medic role. I enjoy getting my teammates back up way more than I do shooting at the enemy. I feel 10x more useful healing then I do shooting. But I look back on history and note that medics throughout war have not always been combatants during conflict - the Red Cross was made so that way medical personnel and wounded could receive treatment, without fear of being fired upon. Despite the addition of the Red Cross on ambulances, they are still shot at regardless of intention. People are also free to drive this ambulance, regardless of their intention. This concept I have here aims to improve this system of using the Red Cross, using both historical context and logic. It won't be 100% focused on realism, but it should be written in a way to do away with confusion. Feel free to ping with questions.

Medics

Those who want to play medic should have two options. They either play as the combat medics, who bears arms and takes and saves lives - or be the field medic, marked with Red Cross insignia and their medical supplies, helping players while being completely unarmed in the process. I believe both playstyles can co-exist if implemented properly. Let me go into the usage of the Red Cross for individual players

Red Cross markings

Regardless of faction, players should be able to equip special Red Cross cosmetics exclusive to the hospital structure. Anyone can grab an armband, but doing so will immedietly strip you of any weapons and ammo, and prevent you from picking any up. Now, this obviously causes problems for some people. To put it simply, this is to prevent confusion. You see, if a person wearing the red cross is carrying a weapon, or CAN be carrying a weapon for that matter, people will shoot the Red Cross regardless of their intention, to avoid being shot in the back when they ain't lookin. But, if they're 100% unarmed, no chance of fighting back, players might avoid shooting these guys when possible. Now, there doesn't have to be a real punishment for shooting these guys. But one thing I would suggest, is that if a player is repeatedly harming enemy medical personnel, they turn invisible for that player only. I get it - it's not realistic. But it doesn't end up with anyone getting banned, and prevents intentional war crimes at the same time. Kill 2 or more medics while they're visible and they all go invisible, including ambulances. They become re-visible if you get interacted with by enemy medics or ambulances.

Ambulance rework

The ambulance looks freaking sick. I love the design of both of them. However, the Red Cross on the sides doesn't mean anything to anybody. People will and have treated them as transport vehicles, or assault vehicles, full gas peddle to the next objective. That shouldn't be the case. Here's my proposal to make it more similar to it's real life purpose:

-Only players wearing the Red Cross could drive these vehicles
-Only medical supplies can be inside
-Only Medics can sit in the non wounded seat (Red Cross)
-Only players who have taken damage (from the enemy, not just allies) may lay in the wounded beds
-Can't run people over

Now, I've had this discussion before with some real military people, but medics who don't wear the Red Cross are allowed to drive Red Cross ambulances. I get that this is how it works in real life, but in a game this is confusing and causes more trouble than it's worth. In real life, an ambulance driver might lack the red cross but have full intention on using the ambulance for its purpose. But in game? Not so much. The ambulance in its state is not always used as it should be, which results in it taking a lot of fire from enemies as it is seen as just another enemy vehicle. So, to avoid confusion, only Red Cross medics would be able to drive it around.

--

"War Crimes" system

I believe the only thing that happens when a player destroys an ambulance is that they get a point added to their war crime score, or something. Very silly. You get points for doing war crimes? I can't see why people wouldn't want that number as high as possible... lol. Do away with the scoring for war crimes. People will do war crimes for "funny" and then be like "look at all the war crimes I've done my points are so high".

I mentioned this earlier, but here's the idea for I have currently for prevention of attacking the Red Cross

Public, default servers

Upon destroying

-2 Medical personnel
-1 Ambulance

All enemy medics and enemy ambulances become invisible to you for a period of 15 minutes. This timer ends early if an enemy medic or ambulance member interacts with you, whether that be treating you or putting you in their ambulance. Now, just because they're invisible, doesn't mean you can't kill them. But it will ensure that if you do, it's probably an accident.

Private servers can dictate if they want this punishment, as well as apply others as they see fit. For example, a server focused more on realism may decide to temporarily kick players who willingly attack a number of Red Cross medics or ambulances. Up to their discretion, of course.

[pseudo dirge]

Is it known you don’t get exp when delivering supplies? I keep having this issue. Also does it mean you don’t get the supply’s to count towards the 5000 achievement?

[gaunt marsh]

I got xp when delivering supplies while playing Conflict earlier.

[pseudo dirge]

I get them the first time, after that I don’t until I die and then I only get first time again

[fair dove]

Please fix -LoadSessionSave parameter. I'm turning it off for now, it keeps loading in the previous matches built services after the mission ends.

[glossy fox]

Please add a vote to clear entities

It's also broken and doesn't clear a lot of stuff but I think you know that already

[vernal vector]

Could we have a separate mouse inversion option for aircraft/helicopter control? Right know there's just one option (that I could find at least).

[brisk brook]

You can rebind mouse controls in settings

[mild wraith]

If only it was as simple as "all hands on deck"

Not sure where you got the information as to how many devs are allocated to what thing anyway

[distant ore]

Yes known

[hidden thistle]

Would be a cool feature for the ambulance role players if “killed” players would in fact turn into a AI critically wounded, you cant restore then you can only pick them up and put them in a ambulance or a medbed for a few supply’s

[shut holly]

point out where I'm breaking a rule

[frosty fiber]

#rules

[shut holly]

yeah, im familiar. which rule?

don't worry, I'll wait

[frosty fiber]

Why would I feed a troll?
If you can read, and have any form of common sense you know what part is breaking the rules

[shut holly]

not a single thing about caps in those rules.

I'm not being impolite, uncivil, flaming, etc. So. Yeah, like I said, point out where I'm breaking a rule. If you can't do that, then there's nothing to discuss.

[frosty fiber]

Users are entitled to their own opinions or views, yet arguments shall be kept polite and civil.
Shouting (aka ALL CAPS on the internet), is not considered polite

[shut holly]

It's simply formatting

[frosty fiber]

again common sense applies

[shut holly]

But, hey guess what, name calling is against the rules. You called me a troll.

Don't break the rules man. One who has common sense also knows that caps can mean more than shouting. So, there's that.

I don't think calling someone a troll who lacks common sense is polite or civil. But feel free to continue to police people where you have no authority

[frosty fiber]

Oh don't worry, already blocked you.
And if you don't want to be helped to not break any rules, feel free to continue. An orange/green person will notice it as well.

[shut holly]

great, thanks for the absolute useless conversation where you failed to point out even a minor infraction, yet broke rules in the process. have a good one.

What did I treat him like?

[quaint flint]

@shut holly reply from a moderator: yes it is like the others said: No caps, you want to bring in a point and shout it out, so yea that is "rule breaking", and Grez pointed out , you start flaming (also against the rules). So yea moderators do read and think this behaviour is inappropriate 👍

[shut holly]

I started flaming??

I asked him to point out where I was breaking the rules and he called me a troll and implied I lacked common sense

But sure thing lol

[tawny brook]

Tbf it probably should just say don't type in all caps.

In the rules, bc I didn't see it either

[mild wraith]

tbf it's a given that you generally don't do it

[tawny brook]

Yeah, but it's not explicitly stated.

[quaint flint]

Well I don't see it as a polite conversation, will I start throwing warnings no but just cool it down a bit 👍And there are more options to "highlight" things you want to point out.

[mild wraith]

Neither is writing like this

But you would know to not do it

[tawny brook]

If something is against the rules it should be stated in the rules.

[mild wraith]

Have fun with that

[tawny brook]

It's not hard? Lol.

All good, your opinion.

[stray frost]

Counter point; do they need to list all offensive language?

[mild wraith]

Exactly my point

[tawny brook]

Cmon guys. Of course you wouldn't list every single thing like that

[stray frost]

But probably #discord_server talk

[tawny brook]

But a simple addition of something isn't some infinite list

[mild wraith]

Not writing all caps is as common sense as any other thing you think is trivial, A million other people will complain that a million other things aren't in the rules

[quaint flint]

But we are getting off-topic now, @shut holly devs do read feedback, but as a reply from me personally a while ago a lot of people were complaining it was to dark, so I think they are still balancing out what route to take to make everybody happy.

[mild wraith]

Me stop here

[shut holly]

It seems they tested it on experimental and it wasn’t well received…?

But judging from a reply in discussion what I experienced could have been a bug, as they asked for repro

[quaint flint]

@shut holly agree, but I think they have a long list of things to (still do) and probably have priorities on other features, but I am sure they will look at it again, as I do agree the game is to bright at the moment, the entirely pitch black was hard but this is to bright for me also and many others.

[shut holly]

I personally believe this should take top priority, simply due to the fact that it’s terrible lmao. It does not really give a good impression of 1.0

[quaint flint]

@shut holly well have you also tried making a ticket in the feedback tracker itself? Maybe someone already did so I have not checked, than you should get a reply from the dev who is behind the night/brightness feature 😉 https://feedback.bistudio.com/project/view/66/

[shut holly]

Others have yes

[stray frost]

I think someone else mentioned that clouds seem to amplifying the light which would obviously be a bug

[spare matrix]

After joining a side, sometimes the squads become unjoinable

[brisk brook]

Known. Make new one

[pseudo dome]

Make new one, once that, it will open the rest

[coral gust]

Why is it only allowing 6 slots per side in conflict scenario, But server and config is set too 20 slots 🙂

[river dust]

Anyone else getting huge FPS drops from like 80s to below 20? It's terrible performance. Also notice server FPS really struggling as well.

[stray frost]

When mines are laid down, signs marking the minefield should be placed automatically. Pretty sure not doing so is a violation of the Geneva convention.

That's right! You're all guilty!

[distant ore]

[nova shuttle]

sometimes some objects doesn't load in when flying a helicopter it takes 5 seconds

[distant ore]

Yes known also, improved in the next major update

[nova shuttle]

nice

when can we expect the next update?

[hoary dragon]

We’re obviously not getting that

[nova shuttle]

what

[hoary dragon]

A date

[stone oar]

You kinda just proved my point in your response by saying that devs are, in fact, allocated. Meaning why not allocate them to this one issue? You're opening the door to that by acknowledging that, yes, the are told by their boss what to do. So the question is, why as a company were they not told "nothing else moves forward until we get server reliability up".

That is what should have happened. A long while ago, but instead, they were still allocated to different things that no one really cares about at the end of the day if the game runs terrible

[stoic pasture]

Can we get a option to turn off vehicle respawns in gm please, and or an extra entity wipe option for vehicles too? Pretty pls

[oak flare]

Wouldn't have been a whole lot of use allocating dozens of artists/sound designers/terrain designers to work on server stability. If "Nothing else moved forward", literally nothing else would get done.

[mild wraith]

If only it was as simple as moving your entire dev team on one issue

Too Many Cooks In the Kitchen

But evidently not too many braincells in the skull

You have been raging against the practices of the Dev team when you thought this was a viable solution?

[olive trail]

If one developers give me 5% speed to development, 20 developers will give me 70% speed (math is hard). Clear game logic, that you guys are ignorant about.

[stone oar]

So in other words, you guys actually are taking the position that this company couldn't fix this issue no matter how hard they tried to or how much effort and resources they put towards it? That's really sad. Also very insulating to the company.

My position is more, if they really wanted to, they have the ability to fix this issue if they focused on it more. You guys have a pretty negative outlook

[mild wraith]

A wise man once said "it's not bright to assume that's what ... Was implying"

Especially when it's wrong

[stone oar]

That's the point. Not to waste money or time on other things. Also, with each change added from the different positions of people you just stated, sound, terrain, etc. You add or change code in the game which can then create more problems potentially.

[mild wraith]

You're actually really funny

[stone oar]

What am I assuming? That's fundamentally your point

[mild wraith]

Hey <dozens of employees>, we're letting you go for a few weeks and when we fix the bugs, we'll hire you back

[oak flare]

Sounds like fun. A perfectly stable game with no features or content.

[stone oar]

Mass majority would agree, yes

[mild wraith]

As if there isn't an equal amount of complaint about the lack of features

[stone oar]

As opposed to "hey, let's add a lot of stuff, lower the game to 16 players, and have it still crash every half hour"

[Everyone leaves the game and doesn't come back after asking for a refund]

[stone oar]

No, there isn't. People don't leave a game because of lack of features. Not a game like this that already had a lot going on that made it stand out from launch dy.

People do however leave and never come back to a game that does not run properly

[olive trail]

It seems a game that is still in development is not a good fit for you. You might want to drop it, and come back when the content roadmap is finished.

[stone oar]

So the first thing on a game developments list of things to do should not be "does it work?"

Got it. Thank you

[olive trail]

I'm glad you finally get it, and can spare us this rambling, and spam on the feedback channel.

[mild wraith]

"No there isn't" lmao ok Stevie wonder

[stone oar]

If it ran well, people would buy it. If a lot of people buy it, the company has more money. If the company has more money, they can spend more money on more people (devs) to bring you all the features your heart desires.

I don't know what's hard to understand about that. In fact, if any game tanks hard enough from lack of money/ intrest, it gets shut down and never moves forward.

[olive trail]

k dude

[quaint flint]

And from now on back to reforger feedback 👍

[stone oar]

So yeah, server stability. I hope it improves

[vernal vector]

i don't understand what you mean

There's Gameplay -> Invert mouse vertically that affects mouse inversion globally

I don't see anywhere else to change this

Oh i see, Controls -> Advanced Keybindings

[vernal vector]

the rebind menu is a bit buggy, sometimes the individual default keybinds can't be deleted

it's also kinda clunky tbh vs Arma 3

Also, when using mouse control for helicopters, holding Alt does not enable free look, need to toggle it off

but when freelook is toggled on, holding alt does enable mouse control

In Arma 3, if mouse control is enabled then holding alt enables freelook

So in Reforger too holding Alt during mouse control should enable freelook

[brisk brook]

Yep

[vernal vector]

The control binding menu keeps jumping to the top of the page every time you rebind, it's super annoying

[brisk brook]

Yeah needs a bit more love.

I do prefer it over a3 tho. Advanced keybinds give more options

[vernal vector]

Dunno, A3 seemed to allow similar stuff too

you could have multiple binds and there were special binds and modifiers

My mouse has a secondary scroll wheel, would be nice to have that supported as well. I know it's relatively niche but the logitech MX Master line are reasonably popular mice i think.

Oh, the controls menu doesn't show keybind conflicts very consistently

[long trellis]

Please add an extra tab in the server browser so that you can see on which server which friend is playing so that you can join them easily

[zinc river]

I want the tracer to be red again... not yellow like current. And while we at it, I want it to be light emissive so it can light up the ground as it travels

[brisk brook]

Admit it. You want star wars

[zinc river]

Hahaha.. maybe. But I thought its realistic. I saw video of it light up the ground as it travels. Or is that camera shutter speed/exposure kind of thing?

[silk trench]

Allow capital letters in custom group names again. I feel like an illiterate writing in lower-case.

Was it a problem someone might write something like LRRP?

[fair dove]

Can the budget for conflict stuff be edited/increased? My custom conflict scenario starts off at 100% vehicles.

[vocal trail]

I know it’s such a small thing but it totally bugs me too lol

And while we’re on editing squads - any chance of getting the ability for squad leads to change their squad’s frequency?

As it stands, when we’re known to be compromised or after a few lost firefights, we create a few new squads until we get one that’s a few hertz off where we were. It’s a functional workaround but would prefer if the squad lead could just edit the frequency in the squad edit menu

[stray frost]

Tutorial Feedback Part 1:
Thank you very much for splitting the tutorials up! I hated having to go through movement, driving, and shooting if I suspected there was something new later on in the tutorial.

General

• When you finish a tutorial you should start back at the bulletin board you were already at instead of the starting location
• There should be something marking which tutorials you have completed
• Vehicles should go Basic > Advanced > Helicopter instead of Basic > Helicopter > Advanced (given that they tell you to do the Advanced one in Basic)

First Aid Course

• It's weird to make the player drive in the First Aid Course since the Ambulance isn't used at all and they may not have done the driving course yet

Helicopter Basics

• Some kind of marker over the Altimeter would be nice and also explain that it is in feet and not meters

Advanced Driving Tutorial

• Hitting a tree ends the training without any kind of feedback of why that is. Is that just a parameter for failure? Did I damage the HMMWV? I barely hit the tree so I'm not sure.
• When driving to the damaged vehicle the Park and Get Out prompt is several waypoints too early
• The Get out prompt is F when moving towards the damaged vehicle. F only works if you look at the door too. Shouldn't it be X?
• I don't feel like the repairing part is adequately explained. There was a # / # thing at the end when repairing? What was that? I assume supplies but only because I saw people talking about it on Discord. What happens if I park too far away?

Base Tour

• Command post doesn't explain capturing (which probably comes up later but it was my first question when I saw the description)
• Explain the uses of supplies at each location better and how to know if you have enough
• Living Quarters and ammunition depot are too close. If you go from ammunition depot to living quarters the description of living quarters doesn't pop up because the ammunition depot one is still there

[stone oar]

Could you guys change the default angle that third POV is for looking down at vehicles?

The current angle is way too steep, looking more downward than forward. Maybe lower it by 15 to 20 degrees?

This is especially bothersome when flying the helicopter. Definitely 20 degrees or more needed for that

[stray frost]

Tutorial Feedback Part 2:

Support Structures

• After building the Light vehicle maintenance point it says Continue by exiting the building mode but doesn't say where to do that. Nothing says Exit. Play as character is the option given but that isn't very clear. There are dumber people than me who may not make that connection immediately... not many, but some.
• When exiting the truck there is no prompt on how to do that and it's possible the player would not have learned how to drive yet.
• Text for disassembling should probably be Disassemble and not Disassembly
• Waypoint for stop truck near the command post is inside the tent and stopping out front didn't trigger the next prompt (Engine was still on when I got out). Unloaded supplies and no new prompt still. Got back in and turned engine off. No new prompt. Got back in and backed into tent and got a we'll make an engineer out of you yet completion message but I'm not sure if anything else was supposed to happen between these two prompts.

Capturing

• Got in the HMMWV right off the bat and after looking at the map the prompt disappeared way too quickly. And now I have no idea what to do. Really annoying having to run across the base to get back to the bulletin board when I had to restart here.
• Prompt went away way too fast again even though I didn't get in the HMMWV. Drove to command post and captured base. Got in the Command truck. No idea what I'm supposed to be doing. It isn't nice to punish people who can't speed read! Return to base again and another run across the base. (Boo for no + / - time speed controls like in RV)
• Tried again. Read from the end this time. It said something about pressing J to bring up an objective list but nothing ever comes up. Clicked on the nearest objective and assigned it to myself. Drove over to it and captured it. No new prompt.

I'm stopping here since this one is clearly bugged

[stone oar]

As I'm sure you Devs are already aware, there is a big problem with rubberbanding in vehicles right now.

However, in my experience so far, it only seems to be really bad on cross play servers. When I play on Xbox only servers it's probably a 2/10 how bad it is. On cross play, it's a 9/10. Not sure if that helps identify the issue for you guys or if you already know the cause

[fair dove]

That is directly related to the server's performance (or server fps).

[stray frost]

Saw a lot of people get dropped/kicked while playing tonight. Fortunately not me though. Did run into some rubberbanding issues. A lot of animation issues with other players.

Had a grenade picture in my #4 spot but no grenades which was annoying.

Not a huge fan of attacking bases while endless waves of enemy spawn in (with maybe spawn protection couldn't tell 100%)

[stone oar]

Oh? Weird. Definitely an odd coincidence that the Xbox only servers were much better

[fringe pagoda]

Nights are way too bright, instead of finding a balance between realistic and playable you fully went for the playable and made it mandatory instead of making it completely optional.

[errant leaf]

at this point i am about to release a mod that fixes this issue

[vernal vector]

Which side? Usually different countries have different tracers, at least in Arma, convention has been BLUFOR -> red, OPFOR -> yellow/green, INDFOR -> yellow/green

[warped steeple]

It's probably to do with all the random civvie cars and trucks scattered all over the map. But on that subject of the budget I'm sure it has decreased overall. Feels like before the update you were able to spawn in more stuff on GM mode.

Also not sure if it has been brought up, probably has already. But the server fps drops down to awfully low speed while in GM, before any one says its our server, it never did this before the update, with way more assets spawned in.

[oblique quest]

Have you ever tried placing stuff on the edge of harbours it always gets all weird or funny

[nova shuttle]

this happens to many times because structures take some time to load after respawn

[marble kindle]

In the advanced vehicle tutorial it says "Get in the construction truck" when it's actually a repair truck.

[real dome]

My world has been crushed

[stray frost]

Can you add that to a comment here? https://feedback.bistudio.com/T177306

[marble kindle]

Absolutely

[slow cradle]

Noted both feedbacks. Thanks. Will be fixed promptly.

[fair dove]

A couple of my servers have been dropping down to single digit fps since the update. Seems to be whenever the system budget goes over 100%?

[warped steeple]

Hmm I'll keep a check on that tonight then.

[edgy arch]

Please return steam workshop and mod manager that's outside the game. The current system is wack. I have ZERO idea why it has been decided to put it in game.

• Incredibly slow download
• Sometimes doesnt want to download at all
• Corrupts the mods
• Dependencies are sometimes not downloaded so you have to hunt them manually
• Says it downloaded a mod when upon entering the server again it asks to be downloaded again
• The UI is horrid, we need a list that looks like a list from mod A3 launcher
• "Game mod content doesn't match server mod content" after literally doing a clean download
• Again, incredibly slow download

[ruby oasis]

Hey y’all need to add a limit on how many people can be on a team in conflict

[fair dove]

I keep getting reports of clients fps tanking when the server fps is fine

[warm cypress]

any sort of lights on helicopters are not affected by Armavision lens flare effects.

[coral gust]

If i stand in one of tunnels in the ammo supplies building. I get stuck inside 🙂
And barracks, AI block the door 🙂

[slow cradle]

Could you please put the same components in the deer stand as you do the guard towers? The AI will not shoot from the deer stand. Why populate the map with deer stands but not allow AI to shoot from them.

And yes I added the AISmart components to the AI but they still do not shoot from the deer stand.

[errant glacier]

performance since the 1.0 launch is horrendous; is there any talk of a hotfix for some of this?

[slow cradle]

The framerate issue has to be top priority, and hotfixed. It is absolutely terrible.

[errant glacier]

It’s across the board, Xbox and PC. Even my server is having issues.

[slow cradle]

yeppers me too. Which I don't understand because in experimental mode it was ok towards the end to the testing period. But release is very bad.

[errant glacier]

I knew the writing was on the wall when my performance halved on server and my client on our little Experimental run we did. But I do agree, it was not as apparent even when we were filled on our experimental 100 slot server.

Now at launch, it’s essentially a 5 minute clock before all FPS decides to take a vacation without constant GM intervention. 😂

[fair dove]

So it's a general vanilla issue? (Server fps tanking) I thought it might be related to some specific mods, but if it's a general vanilla issue that would make a lot more sense. Ran the same mods in stable before the update with no fps issues like this.

[harsh laurel]

monochrome ARMA

[mild wraith]

At least you didn't have red/green Arma like me

[olive trail]

You guys just have thermal vision

[amber kayak]

PC - when I press "C" - character takes his compass.. even if I assigned it to another hotkey
how to fix that?
I cant bind other actions on C because of that

[foggy wyvern]

thermal? that guy is wearing nightmare vision goggles from cruelty squad

[wraith ice]

Focusing really needs to be a simple button press or hold again. As I said in another channel mistakenly, the changes to the controls should be reverted to the state prior to this update.
And honestly that includes all the controls, even those of the quick slots and especially gear selection in vehicles. The only good change that came with it was the improved selection wheel and being able to turn on your high beams with a button press/hold.

[harsh laurel]

wearing enemy gear should make your friendly killing you not penalize them.

but that ought to be a server config for conflict gamemode itself

[stone oar]

Probably should have launched the helicopter update with the Hind for Russia. Most people are choosing to play the US side based on quality of helicopters and other equipment. I've seen an average of 20 US to 10 RU.

So far, that's been my experience every round I've played since 1.0. It definitely makes a difference in how well your team performs, too. Maybe others have different experience with this? Idk

[brisk brook]

Wearing enemy uniform should make it randomly too big or looking like lederhosen. Since irl there isnt 1 size fits all.

[brisk brook]

I prefer huey for flying but mi8 for capacity. I always manage to snag mi8 on something...

[foggy wyvern]

2 to 1 in favor of us and they still lose

[fair dove]

Ive seen a lot of people asking about saving conflict progress. It currently requires you to manually delete the save file at match end or else everything saved gets loaded in so you're capturing fully built bases on the new match. I know its still experimental but it worked fine up until that last exp update before "1.0 Release"

would also be nice to hear if there are known performance issues, or am I just insane thinking certain mods are causing server fps to tank?

[distant ore]

I'm not aware of performance issues on server yet. Every servers I saw with performance issue is modded ones

Vanilla client still tanks FPS by using Arsenal, this will be fixed in a future update

Easier to reproduce with more items in arsenal, so, with more mods 😄

[fair dove]

ok thanks! I used to run TFM mods before stable 1.0 release, now the two servers i run those mods on are tanking hard. the 3rd server not using those mods seems to run quite a bit better

[elder lark]

Is there any plan for implementing graduated grenade throws like we now have graduated speed and stance?

[stray frost]

That would be nice. We used to have that in A2OA

[spare valley]

any time someone gets all confused and mad about me teamkilling them when they're wearing enemy uniforms, I just tell them thats a you problem

[elder lark]

"Liked by SlicedSwiss and BreadNButter." Are we making a sandwich?

[empty pilot]

When using a mouse on Xbox, theres some invisible barrier abt a quarter up the screen preventing me from my cursor going any lower in the menu.

[empty pilot]

Also itd be baller if there would be a "Look" binding in the settings so i could unbind it on my controller so ny stick drift doesnt affect my keyboard and mouse usage

[stone oar]

At least an over or under hand would be nice

[blissful sage]

I think that Reforger would be the right time to really address the focus that ARMA has on running dedicated servers; and make it so that they're not necessary for people to play or play with small groups of friends. This along with the whole SP/MP separation that prevents things like drop in MP for people.

So a player should be able to play alone, save, load back in and be able to also play with friends; all painlessly done on the same mission/scenario.

This would allow your average player to easily and painlessly play long missions with their friends and really get into what all ARMA can do.

Right now the game is really best suited to single missions or campaigns composed of single missions run by people/groups who will keep their own dedicated server running.

And that IMO really cuts out a lot of what ARMA could do if those limitations were addressed.

Think of stuff like Western Sahara; which would've been amazing if people could actually do this stuff instead of needing to keep a server running just to play with friends. Or think of how interesting something like Old Man could be if you could have friends drop into a game you'd hitherto been playing by yourself. Or even something like Combat Ops here could be played by people with different friends over multiple play sessions.

IMO this (when a new engine is being developed) really is the best time to look at addressing this weakness of the series; and it would really expand the scope of what would be possible with the Engine and with ARMA 4.

[verbal oracle]

I have a big issue with Reforger. The graphics are of course really much better than in Arma 3...but unfortunatly all the specular effects on surfaces are much too specular. This breaks the realism. Arma 3 still looks much more realistic because everything is much more diffuse. I am a 3D Artist my self and I understand the urge to show of the new Enfusion Engine Graphics....and this is why many 3D Artist push the reflections and Specular highlights to show everything can be soo shiny...but it is just not realistic. I hope you will tone down the specular reflections and make them more diffuse for Arma 4. Reforger currently looks like toy. What do you guys think?

Look at this image...Specular highlights make Reforger look like plasic toy

Arma 3 looks much more realistic

Again here Reforger....very plastic

Arma 3:

[errant leaf]

another good example of this would be the mans face as well, it does look a bit too glossy

[verbal oracle]

The thing is...reality is not as shiny...95% of surfaces are dull.

[errant leaf]

maybe devs listen and maybe tone a few values here and there, anything can happen. i do know that soneone is workign on a mod that makes the uniforms look better

[verbal oracle]

Another Example...the biggest Problem in my opinion is weapons and Helmets

but also vehicles look too clean...there needs to be roughness maps and a dirt layer on vehicles to break down the perfect plastic look

[errant leaf]

i have one of theses helmets irl and tbh i think it looks fine, but maybe a bit smaller, it is one of the few things i think they got the specularity right

[verbal oracle]

yeah maybe these helments are really shiny....modern helments tend to have a cloth layer on them...But overall the Speculars and cleanness of things should be checked....Reforger just does not look right overall.

There is a reason why Arma 3 Footage is used so much also in Fake News Videos of war footage. Arma 3 is just looking right. Reforger somehow can not hold up.

Arent all these promo screenshots like 2 years old at this point

And not representative of the current version which has undergone at least 11 lighting changes I can count off the top of my head?

[verbal oracle]

At least the one in the Tower is a very current one. I dont believe the look has changed much since than

[errant leaf]

the way vehicles looked has improved drastically since launch

[real dome]

i have old soviet and german and east german helmets and they do have a shine like that.

[real dome]

yeah but thats a custom one. Can you take ones from the game but not promotional content

[errant leaf]

ok i am being very nitpicky here but i cant handle it any longer, there is a weird triangle under the m16 sight most likely caused by some odd model normals, if one of your artists fix this i will be very pleased, oh and also the weird ak texture

Ok. I will check in game. I only looked at promotional materials indeed.

i knew we would get submarines in reforger eventually!

[spare matrix]

Life could be dream ,_,
The game seems to perform alright in 170+ ping, but would be cool to have lower ping servers ( SA )

[brisk brook]

Select low too 😄

[spare matrix]

cant, only one can be selected

[spare matrix]

those helmets have no cloth on them, search up photos on them and you see they are quite shiny...
besides, you seem to be comparing two games that use two different rendering techniques, A3 if im not mistaken uses a shader based approach while reforger uses PBR, which tends to make things have more shine to them

[olive trail]

The BTR is in an awful state right now. Last night, we shot at one seven rockets, and it remained perfectly functional. I had to plant a mine, and trick them into driving over it to destroy it, even then it wasn't destroyed, just killed the crew.
Planted another mine under it, and shot it, didn't effect it. Eventually, I had to plant two mines under it, and it was destroyed when someone tried to drive it away.

[olive trail]

The notifications, even after the rework, are still bad for the experience.

Even the "Enemies/friendlies are capturing this base". You are fighting for a base, action all around you, but this massive notification is always on the screen like a stamp on your forehead.

[verbal oracle]

It’s just a matter of setting the material up differently. With PBR you can just tone shininess dow

[tardy fox]

what kind of helmet it is, SSH 60?

probably 68

[frosty gulch]

BTRs are indestructible

[warped steeple]

On our game last night, the budget didn't go over 100% and the server still still dropped to around 2-10 fps in GM. Which is odd as earlier in the day we doing 30-60fps.

there is a report for this on the feedback tracker. Very likely being looked at https://feedback.bistudio.com/T176866 More commentary here: https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/1164220397663813633

i really think this is a hitreg issue. the btr hitboxes arent perfect, but if you go into sp where hitreg isnt a problem, rpgs can consistently 1shot the engine + transmission if you hit the right spot

it seems like they do almost no damage to the overall vehicle health, but generally function right with destroying vehicle components and killing crew

(in sp)

i havent seen any unusual functionality in singleplayer with the btrs, just in multiplayer.

even with laws its the same, yes sometimes tires wont pop for whatever reason, the engine or transmission might go to orange instead of red, but through a shitton of sp playtime and a little testing, the btr itself seems fine

Here is an idea, the more gear you have, the higher your weight is, the more noise you make when you move. significantly more.

[nova shuttle]

Especially in woods

all the cracking you would make

[real mason]

That sounds like something that could be modded... maybe I should give it a crack

[noble beacon]

Maybe it's time to implement these ideas?

If you are on pc, you could invert it via advanced keybinding

Queues just mean 30 people will pile up waiting on server #1 instead of going to another perfectly good server and getting that going.

What we need is for people to stop gatekeeping server advertisements and let the community grow out from a handful of overcrowded servers.

[calm slate]

Yeah, I was wondering about killing BTR with 40MM HEDPs. Previously 3 or 4 good hits would do the job, now BTRs just seems to shake them off like nothing

[calm slate]

and walking "through" bushes

[olive trail]

I need to clarify that I don't ONLY mean the sound of footsteps should be louder, more so I meant the sound of gear like the backpack, the gun straps, the vest makes a lot of sound when you move, alot more when you carry tons of it on you.

I've been in a BTR tanking rockets and HEDP. Its not pleasant and most players don't realize 90% of that vehicle is open space.

[solemn fossil]

Rattling and clanking would be a really nice touch if youre crazy overloaded with large box mags or an lmg+dmr

[silk trench]

Those are clans.

And you post once every two weeks.

[pure gyro]

You know I really did want to help you until you said this.

make a suggestion at https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/474666560813006885

if your entitled ass thinks BI should add another category instead of 'gatekeeping' channels that aren't for community(yes even small 1 man operations like yourself) advertising.

Now lets keep it on "feedback for Arma Reforger" at this point forward

If the informal 'you' as in 'an individual poster' read as a personal 'you' as in 'Lain Iwakura' that is my error in grammar.

In light of that error being admitted do you reconsider your words as well?

[fair dove]

I keep getting tons of players complaining about "server lag" when it's actually client side lag due to this new arsenal bug. Would be nice if y'all made an announcement about yet another known issue instead of letting all the players think it's the server crapping itself, cuz that's what they're all assuming.

Server fps issue is a whole other thing, I'm actually amazed players still play on my servers once the fps drops down to less than 5 fps. Not the best experience for many players. I posted a bunch of errors that may or may not be related here: #reforger_servers message

[silk trench]

With the fast travel mechanic I don't think the respawning civilian vehicles are worth the performance hit aside from the handful spawning in supply depots. There seems to be as many cars as players and that can't be performative.

[oblique quest]

How do you fast travel

[silk trench]

For PC, its rmb on the map, bottom right third of the wheel.

[glad saddle]

Is this where bugs are reported?

Maybe it’s just me but helis taking each other out by ramming into each others rotors seems kind of broken. I’ve never worked with helicopters before irl but I would assume both helicopters would come out of that collision in a pretty bad state.

[brisk brook]

it wouldnt be pretty no.

[final comet]

Yeah. It also doesn’t help that the game demotes you if you die in the crash after your rotor gets taken out. My friend got bumped down to corporal in a match flying the MI-8 because Huey’s kept taking out his rotors and the game counted him dying in the crash as a suicide.

[brisk brook]

Ramming isnt very cashmoney

[pure gyro]

It's one of those things, if you can do it you're okay at flying but you're still a dickhead and you should know better 😂

[opal raven]

The sound of 200 40mm rounds rattling in a US backpack

[brisk brook]

Everyone does it nowdays

[hidden thistle]

so many people have based their idea of what rpgs and 40mm do off tom cruse movies
not realizing that against light vehicals its effects are often "lack luster"
